"What's going on?" Village Chief Wang looked around and asked.
Li Cuihong squeezed forward and prepared to speak.
Village Chief Wang said directly, "I didn't ask you."
Li Cuihong retreated in disappointment.
Village Chief Wang looked around and pointed at Granny Xu and said, "Granny Xu, you go ahead and tell me."
Granny Xu stepped forward and told the whole story in detail, focusing on how Qin Laizi had bullied several children before, and finally mentioned how Qin Laizi had been frivolous in his words towards Qian Chunhua.
Because of Qian Chunhua's outburst just now, no one at the scene dared to speak up for Qin Laizi, let alone make a joke.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Zhao became so angry that his face turned red. How dare you bully someone from the Zhao family?
"Is that so?" Village Chief Wang asked the people around him again.
The people around nodded repeatedly, even Zhao Dafang and Li Lianyan nodded along with them. Qian Chunhua was too cruel and they couldn't afford to offend her, so they could only tell the truth.
The brothers Xu Jiang and Xu He stepped forward and added, "Yesterday, Qin Laizi started to slander Qian Chunhua in the village, saying that he accompanied Qian Chunhua to the mountain to chop firewood. We brothers can testify that only Qian Chunhua went up the mountain yesterday, and there was no trace of Qin Laizi."
Zhao Yongqiang was anxious. Why was the situation different from what he had imagined?
In the past, when a man and a woman were slandered about their relationship, the woman would cover her face and cry. But why didn't Qian Chunhua cry? She even went to get the village chief.
This way, you won't be able to achieve your goal.
Before Zhao Yongqiang could come up with a solution, Village Chief Wang shouted at Qin Laizi, "Get out of here. You are a grown man, rolling on the ground like a shrew. How disgraceful!"
Qin Laizi howled for a long time, but no one helped him. Now that he was yelled at by the village chief, he had no choice but to get up dejectedly. But the moment he stood up, his legs went weak because the stick was too strong.
Qin Laizi looked at Qian Chunhua guiltily.
"Is it true what Grandma Xu said just now?" Village Chief Wang gave Qin Laizi a chance to explain.
Qin Laizi hesitated and didn't want to admit it. If he admitted it, the village chief would be so angry that he would be kicked out of the village and that would be the end of him.
Qin Laizi's eyes rolled around, anxiously thinking of a solution.
But he accidentally caught sight of Qian Chunhua's stick from the corner of his eye, and saw that the stick was raised again. Qin Laizi subconsciously dodged and quickly said, "Yes, yes."
I can’t care about so many things now. Let’s just get through this hurdle first.
Qin Laizi doesn't want fame anyway. It doesn't matter if he's wrong, as long as he's not kicked out.
Zhao Yongqiang was so mad at Qin Laizi, his stupid teammate, that once he admitted it, the beating would have been in vain.
Now that the person involved has admitted it, the matter will be easy to handle. Village Chief Wang looked at Qian Chunhua and asked, "Chunhua, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Qian Chunhua glanced at Qin Laizi, who shrank his neck. Qian Chunhua glanced at Zhao Yongqiang again, and Zhao Yongqiang turned his eyes away guiltily.
Qian Chunhua said, "I want to sue the official, accusing Qin Laizi of defaming my reputation and trying to achieve his ulterior motives by defaming my innocence."
Qin Laizi shuddered when he heard this. How could it be so serious after just a few random words? Although he was a rogue, he was also afraid of seeing the officials. Qin Laizi subconsciously looked at Zhao Yongqiang.
Village Chief Wang frowned. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it unless it was absolutely necessary. "Chunhua, do you want to think about it carefully? If you report it to the authorities, it will be bad for your reputation."
Qian Chunhua flatly refused and insisted on suing the authorities. "Only by suing the authorities can I clear my name and serve as a warning to others. Otherwise, if someone gets the urge or is instigated by others to seduce me in the future, my reputation will be even worse."
Patriarch Zhao also agreed to report the case to the authorities. His own people must not be bullied for no reason.
Zhao Yongqiang was anxious. He knew Qin Laizi. If he was really sent to the government office, this guy would definitely give himself away.
Zhao Yongqiang suppressed his fear of the stick and stood up and said, "Patriarch, I suggest that we deal with Qin Laizi according to the Zhao family's clan rules. If we report him to the authorities, I'm afraid it will not be good for our Zhao family's reputation."
