Wan Qiqi didn't rush back, but instead inquired with the villagers about the situation, "Did anyone see us stealing the mules?"
"No, that's not true. Uncle Lin said that as soon as he got home, the mule disappeared. Someone said that the mule you were riding belonged to his family."
"Didn't Uncle Lin ask his family?"
"We asked, but Aunt Qian didn't say anything. Dazhuang and Zhaodi said it was lent out, but Uncle Lin doesn't admit it!"
Good grief, they're still using this trick!
Wan Qiqi had no idea what grudge Lin Youtian had against the Chen family that made him do this.
Villagers from the same village see each other all the time; if they fall out, it's hard to know who will be the one who suffers in the end.
Chen Yongliang jumped off the mule cart and saw a group of people surrounding the courtyard. He immediately squeezed in.
In the courtyard, Lin Youtian spoke ill of the Chen family.

"Lord of the village, it's this scoundrel who stole my mule."
Just then, the sound of a mule braying came from outside.
Chen Lizheng's face immediately darkened; he didn't know how to defend the Chen family.
He didn't believe the Chen family would do such a thing, but now the mule was in their hands, and there were no witnesses to prove that they really paid to rent the mule.
Chen Yongnian never imagined that his good intentions in helping his wife rent a mule, hoping to save her from such hardship, would lead to this incident.
After spending two days running around with Wan Qiqi, Chen Yongliang had grown bolder and retorted directly, "Uncle Lin, I've always respected you because you're my elder, but you've really gone too far today! We clearly paid to rent the mules, so how did that become stealing!"
