Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Chen Sanlin led the old village chief towards the fields.

During the period, the old man walked so slowly that Chen Sanlin wanted to carry him over because his wife was still waiting for him.

"Oh, who repaired this road? It's very well done." The old village chief stroked his beard, and his mood improved a little.

"My wife, I and others built it."

The old village chief nodded and continued to be careful when walking down the slope.

Xu Wenyan had been staying there and didn't let anyone approach. When he saw the old village chief coming, he called Chen Sanlin to bring the village chief over.

"Mrs. Chen, what do you want from me?" The old village chief was also confused. Chen Sanlin just asked him to come over without saying why.

"Village chief, the vegetable seedlings in my field were pulled out." Xu Wenyan said calmly.

The village chief frowned. Such a terrible thing had never happened in Jixiang Village.

No matter how bad the relationship is, you can't pull up other people's vegetable seedlings.

Isn't this destroying other people's livelihoods?

"How daring! The old man is not dead yet, yet someone actually does such a thing." The old village chief has also seen through the character of the Chen family in the past few days. They are not bad people and they know how to repay kindness.

What's more, Xu Wenyan is also a doctor. Wouldn't this be detrimental to the interests of the entire village?

The villagers around looked at each other and no one said anything. The village chief's authority was there.

"I advise whoever did it to come forward immediately so that the punishment can be lighter." The old village chief looked at Zhao Tiezhu and his wife, because he only knew that there was some conflict between the Chen family and the Zhao family.

Zhao Tiezhu was so panicked by the old village chief's look: "It's not me, village chief, I was lying at home all night last night, and our home is so far away. Xu Wenyan has done me a favor, why bother!"

The old village chief just rolled his eyes at him and continued to scan the crowd.

He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the reputation of the village would be ruined, and every family would become worried. The grain sown in the spring was the lifeblood of a family.

If we hadn't caught the culprit today, there would definitely be many villagers who would want to move directly into the fields, and by then the people of Jixiang Village would be in a panic.

The old village chief was also very angry, wondering which bad apple was this.

They are going to destroy this village that has enjoyed harmony for decades.

It was at this time that Xu Wenyan suddenly said a few words: "I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you stand up now, I only need you to pay compensation. If I have to arrest you, I will send you directly to the government."

After all, I'm not completely sure, so it would save a lot of trouble if I just forced it out like this.

After saying that, Xu Wenyan's eyes swept towards the guilty figure in the crowd.

After a full quarter of an hour, the crowd below was still noisy.

"Who is it? Come out quickly."

"People who waste food like this will probably be struck by lightning."

"I am doing the right thing, so I am not afraid! Who is it?"

After another two minutes, Xu Wenyan lost his patience and said, "Forget it. The village chief and I have given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Xu Wenyan invited the village chief to his side and pointed at the muddy footprints on the ground: "This footprint is small and not deep. It is obviously a woman's footprint."

"Widow Miao, do you dare to come up for comparison?" Xu Wenyan directly reported the thief whom he had identified in his mind.

Suddenly, everyone in the village turned their eyes to the woman who was evasive.

Seeing that she was still not going up, the old village chief also got angry: "Miao! Come up."

After being yelled at by the village chief, widow Miao went up tremblingly, and walked very awkwardly. When comparing the footprints, Miao's shoe print was actually bigger than the one on the ground.

Xu Wenyan frowned, then said a few words to Rong Xiaoliu, and Rong Xiaoliu quietly left the crowd.

Miao glanced at Xu Wenyan with disdain: "Some people think they are working in the government office just because they know a few words."

Xu Wenyan was not in a hurry: "I don't have the ability to go to the government office, but how are you going to explain the cloth on this bamboo strip, Widow Miao?"

The villagers and the old village chief who were nearby stretched their necks to look at the place where Xu Wenyan was pointing. It was a dark blue linen strip, about three or four centimeters long, hanging on a bamboo stick.

"You were wearing a dark blue dress a few days ago. Do you dare to go home and find that dress?" Xu Wenyan questioned.

The Miao widow smiled again: "I did have a blue dress, but it broke two days ago and I threw it away a long time ago. Aunt Hong also knows about this."

The old village chief then looked at the Hong family in the crowd and said, "Hong family, is this true?"

Mrs. Hong also nodded immediately: "Yes, Village Chief, Widow Miao mentioned it to me. I saw her throw away the clothes, which were in great tatters."

"You can't take care of your own land, so you blame me? Xu Wenyan, are you still a man?" Less than half a second after saying that, Widow Miao smiled sarcastically again: "Oh, no, you are also a wife, half a woman, you are not a man at all."

"Oh, shit." Xu Wenyan gritted his teeth and wanted to go up and tear Widow Miao's mouth apart.

Miao was not afraid either: "Oh, this is a false accusation and they are going to beat people up, village chief, please take care of it."

The old village chief was now in a difficult situation and could only ask Chen Sanlin to stop his wife.

I thought it would be fine if it wasn't the Miao widow, but the Miao widow didn't mind making things worse and added fuel to the fire: "Village chief, it's not easy for me as a widow to raise several children, and I've been falsely accused. What should I do in the future?"

The village chief's heart sank. If it weren't for the Miao widow, she would have been wronged.

"Bullshit." Wang Dongmei came out of the crowd and stood in front of Xu Wenyan.

"Dongmei, why are you speaking so freely again?" The village chief frowned. It was bad enough that she spoke casually at home, but she was also like this outside.

Wang Dongmei waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it, Dad. Two days ago, Mrs. Hong worked in the fields all day. I saw her peeing when I was out walking at night. How could you have time to see Mrs. Miao?"

Wang Dongmei's words made Hong feel embarrassed. How could a woman like her talk about her nocturnal urination? It was so embarrassing.

"Well, maybe I remembered it wrongly. It seemed to be the day before yesterday."

Wang Cuijuan was not happy either: "The day before yesterday, my husband Jianye went out early in the morning, and I saw Widow Miao and Chunfeng working in the fields. I thought I would go early since I had nothing to do at home, but Widow Miao was working in the fields the whole time. How could you only see her yesterday?"

This made Hong Shi even more panicked and she said without even thinking: "That was the day before yesterday."

Xu Wenyan snorted lightly: "The day before yesterday? She was still wearing that dark blue dress the day before yesterday."

Wang Dongmei turned her head and said directly to the village chief: "Dad, there are only about twenty women in our village who wear dark blue clothes. Let's check them one by one. If they all have nothing missing, this matter is related to Widow Miao." After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at Widow Miao fiercely.

"How come these clothes are so torn? Widow Miao, you were willing to throw them away. Your children must be in need of clothes at this time." Wang Cuijuan added.

Chen Sanlin was very anxious when he saw this. He could fight and hunt, but he really couldn't argue with others.

I could only hold Xu Wenyan's hand and tell him not to be afraid.
