Lin Xiaoxiao saw what Lin Zhigui was thinking, took a step forward, and questioned Village Chief Li in a cold voice.
"As a village chief, don't you know that forced marriage is illegal?"
Village chief Li was speechless and his face turned pale. How dare a little girl stand up and reason with him?
Who gave her the courage?
He snorted and said, "Even if you don't compensate people, you have to compensate money."
"Payment?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked him, "How much do you want?"
Before he could say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "Tuzi Xu brought some people to my house for a fight and even kicked down my door. I haven't asked him to pay for it yet."
"We injured someone, but it was your people who started it first. More than 20 young men from the village went to another village to cause trouble, and you, as the village chief, did nothing about it and slept at home. I think your tenure as village chief is almost over."
“…”
Village Chief Li's face turned pale and blue, and every word Lin Xiaoxiao said hit the nail on the head.
He was so humiliated by the rebuke, but he also knew that what Lin Xiaoxiao said was true. If this really got out of hand, his position as village chief would be over.
This matter cannot be made a big deal and the police cannot be called. It is best to resolve it peacefully.
Village Chief Li had just finished his thought when Father Xu next to him said with a firm face: "Call the police, call the police immediately. I have never heard of the law or illegality. If you hurt someone, you must pay compensation. If you agreed to exchange the bride, you must do so."
Now that Tuzi Xu's wrist is broken and this incident has become a big deal, who will he find to marry in the future?
Don’t they want the Xu family to be extinct?
"Yes, call the police."
Xu's mother and father had the same idea. They always felt that since Baldy Xu was injured, they were the ones in the right and thought that the police would definitely stand on their side.
Seeing that they really wanted to call the police, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but move closer to Xiao Yanjun and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Don't worry. If you really need to call the police and make a big deal out of it, I'll take the blame. Just push the blame onto me and you'll just pay for it."
She is just a farmer. If the matter gets out of hand, she will just have to pay some money at most, which will not have much impact on her.
Is this defending him?
Xiao Yanjun looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Should I thank you?"
It was clearly her business, but she involved him. He was the one who helped her out, but now that she said that, she became a hero.
The strangest thing was that he actually felt happy.
"Saying thank you would be too polite." Lin Xiaoxiao replied shamelessly.
Seeing that Xu's father was about to call the police, Village Chief Li quickly grabbed him and scolded him, "Why call the police? No one is allowed to call the police. I have the final say in this matter. Swapping brides is illegal and is not allowed. Baldy Xu broke the other person's door, so he has to compensate them for the money they spent on repairing it first."
"The money for his wrist treatment is paid by the Lin family. It's the amount that's paid, and you can't ask for a penny more."
These words were spoken with such righteousness that the attitude was a complete 180-degree turn from the beginning.
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned by his sudden change. Was he throwing his reputation away just to keep his position as village chief?
"What did you say?"
Father and Mother Xu looked at Village Chief Li with anger on their faces. "My son was beaten for nothing? My daughter was raped for nothing?"
Village Chief Li cursed angrily, "What are you wasting? Your daughter's marriage was agreed upon by you two."
