Seeing that Xiaohu was about to be overwhelmed, Chen Sanlin pushed through the crowd and entered his own yard.

"Sanlin, now that you're back, I want to tell you about your niece's glorious achievements." He Xianhua was the first to complain.

Xu Wenyan ignored her and only noticed Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong who were still crying at the table. The two children must have suffered such a great injustice that they could cry like this.

"Xiaohua, what happened?" Xu Wenyan walked over and patted the mud off Chen Dong's butt, then hugged the little guy to comfort him.

"Aunt, Aunt said that I stole eggs from her house, but I gave her money, and uncle, I really didn't steal them." Chen Xiaohua's sobbing voice made Xu Wenyan feel distressed.

Chen Xiaohua kept arguing that she did not steal anything and she was not that afraid of being wrongly accused. But what would she and her brother do if her uncle no longer liked her?

She would never be able to eat rice again, nor the delicious scallion pancakes again, and she would have to go back to her previous life.

He patted Chen Dong on the back and comforted him: "Xiaodong, don't cry. Your uncle is back and will not let anyone accuse you wrongly." Then he handed Chen Dong back to Chen Xiaohua.

Chen Sanlin frowned and said, "Aunt, we will handle our family's affairs. How can you beat the child when you come here?"

He Xianhua was also stunned. What was wrong with his nephew? Why did he start to speak up for the two little bastards? "They stole things from my house. As an elder, I must teach them a lesson!"

"You want to teach them a lesson? Is it your turn to teach them a lesson? Xiaohua and Xiaodong were registered in our family first, and you beat the dog... Did you ask me before you beat my children?" Xu Wenyan stood up, picked up the straight stick and pointed it at He Xianhua.

"You, you, you, since when did a male wife like you become the head of the Chen family? You're such an annoying thing." He Xianhua was also willing to take the lead. She was well-known for being a fierce person in the village.

"My family doesn't need an outsider like you to take care of things. Are you disgusting? You are so indiscriminate. You are like a toad crawling on the back of my foot. You are disgusting." Xu Wenyan took two steps forward and said, "The eggs were the money I gave to Xiaohua. How come you took the three cents and now want to bully us?

Just because Sanlin is an honest kid and I am sick, you can bully our kid, right?"

Xu Wenyan coughed twice and sat on the ground: "Oh, aunt, you said that you came to ask my Sanlin for meat before, and you asked for a whole slab of ribs... cough cough, after bullying Xiaohua, now you come to bully a sickly girl like me, Xiaohua's arm was pinched purple, is there any justice in this world?" As he spoke, he slapped his legs from top to bottom with his hands and cried out in misery.

During this time, he even had time to turn around and wink at Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong behind him. The two children were also smart, but Xu Wenyan's crying was fake, while they were really crying.

When the onlookers saw the tragic scene inside, they immediately pointed their fingers at He Xianhua.

"This Aunt He really doesn't understand anything and just comes in and beats the child."

"That's right. This kid from the Xu family was originally framed by his parents and now he's being bullied by a woman. If you don't know, you might think all the women in our Jixiang Village are so unreasonable."

"Those two kids crying is really a sin."

Seeing that something was wrong, He Xianhua was also anxious. Did the little bastard give her money? She just went home and saw that the eggs were missing. She was muttering in the yard, and then she heard Aunt Xu say that she saw Xiaohua coming out of her house, so she came all the way here.

"Mother." Zhou Rong's voice sounded from the back. She slowly walked in from the crowd. In order to save He Xianhua's face, Zhou Rong leaned close to her ear and said, "Mother, it was indeed Xiaohua who paid for it. Grandma was the one who made the decision and gave three cents, which is about the same price as selling it in the county."

You have to know that to go to the county, you either have to take a bullock cart or walk. A round trip by bullock cart costs only three cents. She earned this money from working at home. It seems that she is taking advantage of her and still causing trouble.

He Xianhua was so panicked that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, Xu Wenyan did not forget to continue to add fuel to the fire: "Aunt, you know that several of us in our family have no elders to rely on, so you come to bully us. How are we going to survive in the future?"

"Wow, wow, wow..." The crying of Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong at the back was just right.

"That's right, Aunt He, it would be too much if you didn't say anything about what happened today. You made money for nothing and still went to someone's house to cause trouble. Who else would be like you? We are all from the same village."

A younger woman in the crowd spoke up for him, and later Xu Wenyan found out that she was the village chief's daughter-in-law.

Everyone looked at Wang Dongmei. She was the daughter-in-law of the village chief's only son. The couple had a child in their old age, so they were especially good to both their precious son and daughter-in-law.

If this matter is brought to the attention of the village chief, He Xianhua will have a hard time living in the village.

He Xianhua's face sank at first, then she immediately smiled: "This is all my fault. When I got home, I saw that the eggs were gone. Aunt Xu happened to tell me that Xiaohua had left our house.

I didn't know about this. My mother agreed to sell it. I was just thinking that it was unacceptable for a little girl like her to steal things. I was also afraid that she would take a detour."

How could the other people in the village not know that she was asking Aunt Xu and her mother to take the blame?

Wang Dongmei stepped forward and said, "You also beat the child. The Chen family's daughter-in-law is so sick and you still come to bully her. This matter cannot be so simple. Pay the Chen family fifteen cents and forget about it. If you don't want to, I will go and discuss it with my father."

He Xianhua was afraid when she heard that Wang Dongmei was going to move the old village chief out: "Then I must apologize." She immediately counted out fifteen cents from her pocket and put them in Chen Sanlin's hand. She felt heartbroken. It was so difficult to save money in the village, especially for women.

Usually it was the men in the family who went to the market, and the money they earned had to be divided among their parents. In some families with strict management, all the expenses were managed by their parents. As a daughter-in-law, she had saved only a little over 100 cents in private money for half a year, and it really hurt to give out 15 cents.

"I've already apologized, so I'm leaving first, haha." He Xianhua dragged Zhou Rong home in a dusty manner. The two homes lived close to each other. Zhou Jian's family had heard the noise from his nephew's house a quarter of an hour ago, but they didn't dare to go and lose face.

In this dynasty, especially men, the most important thing was their own and their family's reputation.

He Xianhua became panicked instantly when she saw Zhou Jianjia standing in the yard with a gloomy face.

I'm afraid I'll be punished when I get back.
