Chapter 153 The Village Can’t Tolerate Vicious People
The villagers echoed, "Yes, there is no place in our village for such vicious people."
"If you don't give me an explanation today, please get out of Xishui Village!"
"The Lin family was kind enough to give you a ride, but you ended up harming them. I used to think this kid was pretty good, how did he become like this now?"
"Who would dare to marry such a vicious person in the future..."
Most of those who spoke for the Lin family were bricklayers who built the house for the Lin family, as well as those who occasionally lent a hand to the Lin family these days. The Lin family even sent them rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival.
They have seen that the Lin family is a down-to-earth and generous family.
Cuicui stood there in a daze.
At this time, Cuicui's mother came running over.
Cuicui's mother knew that if she couldn't explain today's incident clearly, not only Cuicui's reputation would be ruined, but also the reputation of their entire family, and they would probably find it difficult to stay in the village in the future.
"Mother Cuicui, did your family also use the plow that the Lin family bought?"
A villager asked.
Cuicui's mother nodded embarrassedly, "We did use it. Cuicui was wrong. I will take her to the Lin family to apologize. However, the incident with the wolf cub was definitely not Cuicui's doing."
"To be honest, my mother, Cuicui's grandmother, has been ill these past few days. I had work to do around the house and couldn't leave, so I asked Cuicui to take care of her. She only came back yesterday."
"If you don't believe me, feel free to ask around."
Cui Cui finally realized, "Yes, I haven't been home for the past ten days. How could I possibly have brought the wolf cub down the mountain? Besides, I haven't been up the mountain in a few days."
"That's right. I can testify that Cuicui has indeed not been home these past few days. I saw Cuicui's mother a few times, and she looked very worried. I asked her about it, and she said her mother was sick, and Cuicui went to take care of her."
"Yes, I can testify to that. So, it really isn't Cuicui."
…
Several women cleared Cuicui of suspicion with a few words.
The villagers are still very kind. They don’t want to let the bad guys go, and they don’t want to wrongly accuse the good guys.
Cuicui Niang suddenly thought of something and said, "As for Miss Mu, I heard from the eldest sister-in-law of the Mu family that she often goes up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs to supplement the family income, and she also praised her as a filial child..."
Everyone suddenly looked at Mu Yunzhao.
Mu Yunzhao pretended to be calm, "It wasn't me, how could I harm Sister Lin."
Tong glared at Mu Yunzhao. If looks could kill, she would have poked several holes in Mu Yunzhao's body long ago.
This concubine's daughter actually did some things that were not worthy of being shown in public.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak well of her: "Uncle Ma, Zhao Zhao would never do such a thing. She was just collecting herbs. How could she hurt anyone? She herself is very timid."
Tong herself felt guilty about saying this.
She knew that if she didn't protect Mu Yunzhao today, the Mu family would be implicated and she might even be driven out of the village.
When the villagers saw it, they realized it was true.
Miss Mu said these few words, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
This girl is indeed timid.
Cuicui was so angry.
She didn't expect that Mu Yunzhao was this kind of person.
If she wasn't so good at pretending, how could she have fallen for her trick?
How many of the things she said in the past were true?
I really want to tear her face off.
However, Cuicui had learned her lesson. If she had attacked Mu Yunzhao in front of Ma Cunzheng and the other villagers, she would probably be accused of bullying again.
Haha, Mu Yunzhao, wait for her.
A villager said, "Could it be that we misunderstood? It's possible that the wolf cub really ran down the mountain on his own."
Ma Cunzheng nodded, "It seems to be a misunderstanding. However, Cuicui went to the Lin family to cause trouble last time, so she should go to the Lin family to apologize. Living in the same village, we should value peace."
Seeing that her daughter's suspicion was cleared, Cuicui Niang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We apologize, we apologize."
Cuicui's mother went to pull Cuicui away, but Cuicui was reluctant and said, "Mother, I won't go."
"You were rude first, so you should apologize."
Cuicui shook her hand off. "No, I won't go. The Lin family is a criminal family. They came to the village to buy carriages, and they bought land to build brick houses. They must be corrupt officials who have taken our money. Why should I apologize to them?"
The villagers fell silent when they heard this.
They hate corrupt officials the most.
Ma Cunzheng snorted coldly, "Dagan's law, do you think corrupt officials can still divide the land when they come to Xishui Village?"
"It's impossible for corrupt officials to come to our village. Even if they were exiled, there are special places for them to be imprisoned and do hard labor for the court, mostly in the mines. How could the court give them land and let them move freely in Fangzhou?"
The villagers heard it and believed it.
The reason is that Ma Cunzheng has always been prestigious. He has studied for a few years and is familiar with the laws of the country.
Besides, if it is true as Cuicui said, there is no reason for Ma Cunzheng to speak for the Lin family.
A villager asked, "What crime did the Lin family commit that made them come to our village?"
They are also curious.
But as long as it's not an unforgivable crime, it's fine.
"I've inquired with the government, and the people who came to our Xishui Village didn't commit any crime. They were just implicated by the powerful people above. The reason the Lin family has the money to buy land is because Miss Lin is a married woman from outside the family, so she is not a criminal.
Miss Lin would rather be divorced than go into exile with her family. The money she spent was her dowry, so stop guessing."
If you ask who Ma Muramasa was asking.
Since then, Zhao has been executed.
Zhao Zhan once went to Ma Cunzheng's house with gifts and, in his capacity as the commander of the Jinwu Guard, asked Ma Cunzheng to take good care of the Lin family.
Only then did Ma Cunzheng realize that the Lin family was exiled because of their involvement.
No wonder he observed Lin Fu's actions and found that every move he made was open and honest.
From then on, he took care of everything he could for the Lin family.
What's more, the girl from Lin Fu's family called him "Uncle Ma" affectionately whenever she saw him.
Macunzheng looked over.
The villagers' eyes were full of disdain.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Cuicui's face. "Muramasa, I'll take Cuicui to the Lin family to apologize."
Cuicui's mother went to pull Cuicui, but Cuicui refused, "Mother, I won't go."
Thinking of the look in Lin Zhiyi's eyes that day, full of ridicule and contempt, she became very angry.
Seeing that Ma Cunzheng's face was getting darker and darker, Cuicui's mother raised her hand and slapped Cuicui in the face. "I can't let you not go. If you don't apologize to the Lin family, I will beat you to death right now to prevent you from embarrassing yourself."
Seeing that her mother really beat her, Cuicui felt even more aggrieved.
How could mother do this?
Seeing her mother was about to raise her hand to slap her again, she quickly said, "I'll go, Mom, I can go."
