By the creek, the village chief understood the whole story and decided to favor the Zhangs.

Wang knew that it was Mrs. Zhang who spread the rumor first, so she became angry and took action.

But the village chief only focused on the fact that Wang was the first to attack and thought that Wang was the one who attacked first.

As he had injured the faces of Zhang's aunt and nephew, he had to cut off two pounds of flesh as compensation.

As for those gossips, I will come and apologize when I feel better.

Even the people who were watching the fight by the river were scolded, as they were considered to be lacking in unity and not stopping the fight in time when they saw someone fighting.

Everyone was convinced on the surface but not on the heart.

But the village chief is the local tyrant, his words are like imperial decrees, and no one has the courage to confront him head-on.

Wang really couldn't swallow this.

"Village chief, I was the first to fight, but Mrs. Zhang ruined my reputation in the village, and they also fought. Why do they want me to pay two pounds of meat?"

The village chief frowned in displeasure.

"I won't repeat the same thing over and over again. Whoever starts it first is at fault."

At this time, a clear voice came from the crowd.

"Two pounds of meat is not much, I am willing to pay for it."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Liu Siyu who spoke.

Everyone was stunned. Wang also stared at Liu Siyu, wondering if this girl had gone crazy.

Liu Sihan, who arrived at the river early, also looked anxious.

He took a few quick steps and grabbed Liu Siyu's arm.

"Sister, why are you so disloyal? It was obviously them who spread the rumor first."

Liu Siyu smiled faintly and did not explain to Liu Sihan.

Instead, he walked up to the village chief with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Village Chief has always been fair and just. Since you have ordered my family to pay two pounds of meat, we will pay it."

Finally, don’t forget to add one more sentence.

"This will be the standard from now on, everyone please remember it."

Although the village chief didn't know what Liu Siyu was planning, he liked this compliment.

He stroked his goatee and laughed.

"Since you agree with this verdict, let's execute it."

Wang was so angry that she jumped up and down.

"Liu Siyu, shut up. You don't even know what happened. Who told you to talk nonsense here?"

Liu Siyu smiled sweetly.

"Mom, the village chief said whoever starts it first will be at fault."

Wang stared at Liu Siyu in astonishment. She didn't expect that this girl would call her mother at this moment.

Liu Siyu said this and turned to look at everyone.

"You all saw what happened with your own eyes and heard the village chief's decision, so you can be considered witnesses."

Seeing that everyone was confused.

He continued, "Today's verdict is a model. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you must not take action. Whoever takes action will be at fault. Even if someone comes to your house and scolds your wife and daughter, and curses your parents, you must endure it."

The crowd exploded instantly.

A man jumped out first.

He said with an indignant look:

"Girl, I don't like what you said. If you want to embarrass yourself, that's your business. If anyone dares to fart in my house, I will beat him to a pulp. If you can't even protect your wife and daughter, how can you still be called a man?"

Liu Siyu was not angry at all. She smiled and raised her skinny little hands to pat.

"Uncle, you are really great, but I still want to advise you, it's their business if they scold you, as long as they are happy with the scolding, just apologize casually afterwards. If you hit someone, you have to pay for the meat?"

She deliberately emphasized the ending tone of the word "compensate for the meat".

Some people in the crowd gradually came to their senses.

But there are still those stubborn ones who just can't get around it.

"Big girl, if you want to be a wimp, don't drag me along. If anyone dares to gossip in my house, I will make him turn from a tortoise into a turtle. If you want to get a piece of meat from me, it's impossible."

Liu Siyu instantly showed a surprised expression.

"Aunt Ke, don't you even listen to the village chief?"

The woman was also a brainless person and immediately refuted.

"When did I stop listening to the village chief?"

The village chief immediately understood what Liu Siyu meant and was about to speak, but Liu Siyu spoke first.

"The village chief just ruled that whoever started it first would be at fault. Aunt Zhang has been destroying my and my mother's reputation everywhere and pushing us to death. My mother just kicked Aunt Zhang once, and now he has ruled that we should pay two pounds of meat. Have you all forgotten?"

"You agreed to this just now. I advise you not to fan the flames here."

The village chief glanced at everyone sternly, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Siyu's face.

When everyone saw that the village chief was angry, they all lowered their heads unconsciously.

They were all born and raised in the village, and their fear of the village chief had penetrated into their bones.

Liu Siyu, however, stood up straight and met the village chief's gaze without fear.

"I agree with your verdict. You are the village chief. How dare I, a commoner, go against you? I am just kindly reminding you."

"Next time you encounter something like this, just follow your decision. If you really can't stand it any longer, just find a rope and hang yourself on the other side's door beam."

"Since there is no place for justice in the human world, the underworld has its own judge who can tell the truth."

Liu Siyu's rapid-fire remarks left the village chief speechless.

The onlookers were stunned, even Wang and Liu Sihan were no exception.

The village chief looked at Dahuo's reaction and was so angry that his veins were throbbing.

His authority as the village chief was suppressed by Liu Siyu today.

This made him somewhat embarrassed.

He said sternly, "I have my reasons for sentencing them this way. Both of them have injuries on their faces. If they are left with scars, how can they face others?"

The Zhangs immediately howled in unison.

"My face, how can I face people from now on..."

Liu Siyu smiled faintly and looked carefully at the faces of Zhang and Zhang.

It was as if he had just seen their wounds, and his face was full of regret.

"Oh, how pitiful! Even such a thick skin has been scratched. I'm afraid that two pounds of meat can't even be put on to make it round..."

Bursts of muffled laughter suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Mrs. Zhang's face turned green with anger, "You...you..."

"What are you?"

Liu Siyu's smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a frosty look.

"The village chief saw the little wounds on your faces and felt pain in his heart, but what about the bruises on my mother's face? Can't the village chief see it?"

The village chief's mouth twitched. Liu Siyu's words were painful to see and really led to misunderstanding.

Speak up immediately.

"Big girl, be careful with your words."

Liu Siyu couldn't help but sneer. The old village chief really valued his reputation.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

Liu Siyu asked knowingly, and when the village chief remained silent, she continued:

"My mother is also injured, and now her legs are lame. If she can't get better, how will my sister and I live? Do we need Aunt Zhang to support us?"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes narrowed. "She was the first to do it. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's none of your business, isn't it? Who is spreading rumors everywhere in the village, causing us mother and daughter to suffer so much?"

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhang.

Liu Siyu continued.

"I'm going to say this today. If you force us to the point where we can't survive, I'll hang myself at the door of her house with a rope. After I die, I'll turn into a fierce ghost and haunt her every night. I can't live like this, and anyone who framed me won't be able to live well..."
