The village chief took the stick, looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:

"Yuwei, is what Xu Qianqian said true?"

Jiang Yuwei looked at Granny Sun and smiled:

"Mrs. Sun, did I hit you just now?"

Mother Sun secretly glanced at Jiang Yuwei and lowered her head and said:

"No, no, I wasn't hit."

Jiang Yuwei nodded and looked at the villagers who were watching the excitement outside the courtyard and asked:

"Did the villagers see me beat Granny Sun?"

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, a village woman stood out from the crowd. She walked to the front with a hunched back. Only then did Jiang Yuwei see clearly who it was. It was Grandma Sun’s second daughter-in-law, Liu!

Liu smiled at Jiang Yuwei and said:

"I didn't see Jiang Yuwei hitting Grandma Sun. Xu Qianqian, did you see it wrong? Or are you trying to make up a story and deliberately find the head of the village to embarrass Jiang Yuwei? The head of the village is not Zhang Laizi who can't tell right from wrong."

Xu Qianqian was so anxious after hearing what Liu said:

"You, you, you Liu, you just saw Jiang Yuwei bought a few pieces of your family's broken land, and you are here to protect her and help her. I didn't realize that you are such a lackey before!"

The village head couldn't help coughing a few times after hearing this:

"Ahem, Xu Qianqian, have you had enough of making trouble? Granny Sun said Yuwei never hit her, why are you still making trouble here? Go home quickly if you have nothing to do!"

Just as Xu Qianqian was about to retort, she heard Ning Qiu shout:

"Oh no, Daya fainted!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurried forward to check Ning Daya's breath. She was still breathing. Jiang Yuwei and Ning Qiu supported Ning Daya and walked into the inner room. Jiang Yuwei thought that the method that Uncle Ning used to treat Xiaoyun last night could be tried on Daya first. It would be too late to ask Uncle Ning for help now.

So Jiang Yuwei said to Granny Sun coldly as soon as she entered the room:

"Go get the needle and thread."

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun did not dare to refuse and hurriedly turned around to get needle and thread from her room.

Jiang Yuwei took out the flint and lit the candle on the table. She took the sewing kit handed to her by Grandma Sun, took out the needle and roasted it on the fire for a while. Then she used it to prick the tips of Ning Daya's ears, and then pricked her ten fingertips in turn. Seeing that Ning Daya did not react, Jiang Yuwei was about to prick her again when Ning Daya suddenly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Yuwei sitting next to her. She held her hand and said weakly:

"Sister Yuwei, thank you for helping me."

Jiang Yuwei patted her hands and said with a smile:

"It's okay, just take a good rest and don't think too much."

After that, Jiang Yuwei said to Grandma Sun who was standing next to her:

"Do you have any eggs at home? Daya is too weak right now, I need to make her a bowl of egg tea to replenish her qi and blood."

When Granny Sun heard that she was going to give Ning Daya eggs, she waved her hands and said:

"No need, no need. I know our daughter's health condition. She doesn't need to eat eggs to replenish herself."

Jiang Yuwei frowned and said:

"Don't want to give Daya eggs? Then kill a chicken to make up for it!"

After saying that, he turned to Ning Qiu and instructed:

"Qiu Mei, go to the chicken coop, pick out the fattest rooster, kill it, and make chicken soup for Daya!"

After hearing this, Ning Qiu turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Granny Sun:

"No, no, no, don't kill the chicken. I have eggs. I'll get them."

After saying this, Mrs. Sun left the house without looking back, fearing that if she was a step late, Ning Qiu would kill all the chickens in the yard.

Soon, Mrs. Sun came in with a bowl of egg tea. Jiang Yuwei took the egg tea and handed it to Ning Qiu, saying:

"Qiu Mei, take care of Daya first. I'm going to go out and talk to the head of the village."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei pulled Grandma Sun's arm and left the yard. When the head of the village and the villagers saw Jiang Yuwei coming out, they asked anxiously:

"How is Daya? Is she awake?"

Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:

"Well, it was a close call. He is awake now, but his body is too weak. He has worked too much in recent years and has not eaten well. His body is already depleted at such a young age."

After hearing this, everyone sighed:

"Ah, Daya has a miserable life, being born into such a family"

"Who says it's not true? It's not easy for Daya to be alive."

"Alas, Grandma Sun has no heart."

Jiang Yuwei looked at the head of the village and said:

"Today's incident was caused by Granny Sun breaking Daya's head. I think the neighbors who live so close to us must have seen Granny Sun beating and scolding Daya many times, right?"

"It's a blessing that we didn't fight that day!"

"Daya is beaten for working every day. If it were me, I would have run away long ago."

"Yes, I see Grandma Sun beating and scolding Daya almost every day."

Jiang Yuwei looked at the head of the village and said:

"If it was just a minor fight, it would be Granny Sun's family affair and we have no right to interfere. But like today, if Granny Sun beat Ning Daya to death, our village would be discredited. Who would dare to marry someone from our village in the future? If people spread the word that Ningjia Village was the victim, the whole village would watch her die without helping and watch an honest girl being beaten to death by her own grandmother."

The villagers couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this:

"That's right, our daughter is going to be married soon, and we can't let Grandma Sun ruin her future."

"Oh, my boy hasn't married yet. If things keep going like this, who would be willing to marry into our Ning Village?"

After hearing this, the head of the village felt that what Jiang Yuwei said made sense. This old lady Sun was a real relative of the head of the village. He had always known about Ning Daya's affairs, but he had not been able to intervene in the matter because old lady Sun was his elder. Now it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to give old lady Sun a good warning.

The head of the village looked at Granny Sun and said slowly:

"Mrs. Sun, do you know that you were wrong about what happened today?"

Just as Grandma Sun was about to retort subconsciously, she met Jiang Yuwei's murderous eyes, and swallowed her saliva and whispered:

"I know I was wrong."

The chief nodded with satisfaction:

"All the villagers are here today. I ask you to bear witness for me. If Granny Sun beats or scolds Ning Daya innocently in the future, I will come and take Ning Daya away in person. Ning Daya will no longer have to work for this family, and she will no longer have to support Granny Sun in her old age. Granny Sun will no longer have to worry about Ning Daya's marriage."

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun was about to get angry, but suddenly she heard the head of the village mention Ning Daya's marriage. She immediately became interested and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, I'll listen to the headman."

Jiang Yuwei thought that Grandma Sun's smile seemed to have ill intentions, but she didn't know what other evil intentions she had at the moment, so she could only deal with it as it came.

Seeing that Grandma Sun agreed readily, the head of the village nodded and asked the villagers to go back. He went into the house and called Ning Qiu to go home with him. Jiang Yuwei went into the house and said a few words to Ning Daya before leaving. She had wanted to collect Grandma Sun's eggs, but she felt disgusted when she saw Grandma Sun's face, so she could only go and see Aunt Zhou when she passed by her house on her way back.
