We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

The head of the village looked down at the bruised and swollen face and almost couldn't react. The thief turned out to be Chen Ping's wife?

Cheng Yue was surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law? Why is it you? What are you doing in my kitchen in the middle of the night?"

With Youli present, Li Manying also felt confident and said through gritted teeth:

"Stop pretending, you knew it was me, and you ordered these three brats to fight me!"

Before Cheng Yue could speak, the village head frowned and said, "Chen Ping's wife, stop being so unreasonable. Just tell me why you went to Chen An's house in the middle of the night."

Zhao Xiangxiu sneered and said, "Why else? Stealing things!"

Cui Miao suddenly realized: "Could it be that he wants to steal Sister Cheng Yue's business secrets?"

The more the villagers thought about it, the more they felt it was true. Why would Li Manying sneak up the mountain in the middle of the night other than to steal the secret recipe?

He looked at Li Manying with contempt.

Everyone in the village knows that Cheng Yue is doing business, but no one has any bad intentions. But Li Manying, the eldest sister-in-law, has been keeping an eye on her. Isn't she afraid of being embarrassed if she tells others about it?

Li Manying glanced at everyone and said guiltily, "Stop spouting shit!

I…I just remembered that I lost something when I moved, so I came here to pick it up. Who knew they would take the opportunity to beat me up? Uncle Lizheng, please help me!"

"Do you believe what you said? Chen Ping's wife, your two sons are scholars after all, please give them some face!"

The head of the village didn't even want to look at Li Manying and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Ever since Chen An's father passed away, the Chen family has become increasingly messy.

It is said that a family with a virtuous wife will prosper for three generations. In his opinion, it will be difficult for the Chen family to get back on track except for Chen An's branch.

The main reason is that Zhao, the elder, is unkind and makes the family a mess. She indulges the eldest son and is mean to the second son, and there is never a moment of peace in the family.

Chen Ping's wife is also a scheming person. How can a family like this living together, with each of them only calculating their own plans, be truly harmonious?

Li Manying glanced at the head of the village, knowing that she was not in the right, so she could only throw a tantrum and say, "Anyway, you don't believe anything I say, so I'm too lazy to say anything.

But they really hurt me. Look, they beat me like this. I will be bedridden for days. They must compensate me for the medical expenses!"

Zhao Xiangxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Li Manying, you wanted to be a thief, so it wouldn't be excessive even if you were beaten to death. How can you have the nerve to ask for medical expenses?"

"That's right! How shameless! He stole from his own family, got beaten and had to pay for medical treatment. If he stole from someone else's house, he might have been beaten to death!"

"How could you bring yourself to say that? You are so shameless!"

The villagers were talking to each other, but Li Manying just stuck his neck out.

Chen An said coldly: "My sister-in-law came to my house to steal things and was beaten. She also asked us to pay for the medical expenses. We think we shouldn't pay. Since we can't explain it clearly, let's report it to the police!"

When the village head heard about reporting the matter to the police, he was a little reluctant. After all, this was a matter of the village and the family. If the officials were reported, the reputation of Chen An's family would be affected.

But Chen An and his friends were the victims in this matter, and they had their own plans on what to do. It was not easy for him to make decisions for them, so he thought about it and said nothing.

"No, no, no, you can't report it to the police!" Li Manying was dumbfounded. Why should he report it to the police?

Although she didn't steal anything, she couldn't explain herself for running into someone else's house in the middle of the night.

Even if we don't talk about whether he will be convicted or not, if he meets the official, the reputation of his two sons will be affected. How can they gain a foothold in the academy?

If this is the case, Chen Ping will definitely divorce her. She cannot be divorced! Her family is unreliable. If she is divorced, she will have no way out!

"Second brother, sister-in-law, I was wrong. You can't report me to the police! I don't want the medical expenses anymore. I won't bother you again. Please let me go!"

The more Li Manying thought about it, the more frightened she became. She cried with snot and tears, and her crying was so real.

Cheng Yue and Chen An were in a dilemma, and Li Manying gritted her teeth and continued crying, "Second brother, sister-in-law, can I pay ten taels of silver to reconcile?

Can you please stop being so mean to me for the sake of your mother and your two nephews? I really won't dare to do it again!"

Ten taels of silver were all the belongings she could afford. She would accept being beaten and scolded by Chen Ping. At least it was good not to have to see the official.

The village head sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place!"

After that, he looked at Chen An and Cheng Yue and asked, "Things like this can also be settled privately. Do you insist on reporting it to the police?"

Cheng Yue glanced at Chen An, who nodded. Cheng Yue said, "Although my sister-in-law made a mistake, we are not heartless people. After all, we are a family.

Since the sister-in-law is willing to reconcile and says she won’t do it again, let’s give her a chance.”

Cheng Yue said this, but she had other plans in mind.

How could it be more interesting to send Li Manying to see the official than to keep her at home and trouble Zhao?

As the saying goes, every evildoer will receive his due punishment.

After this incident, Li Manying should have learned her lesson. It would be better for her to stay and teach Zhao, the evil mother-in-law, a lesson.

She had high hopes for Li Manying, a black-hearted man.

Li Manying's body softened upon hearing this, and he swore, "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, second brother. I promise not to cause you any more trouble, or I will be struck by lightning!"

She finally knew who Cheng Yue was. Even if someone put a knife to her neck, she would not dare to cause trouble for Cheng Yue.

She really can't be provoked, so it's better to stay away from her in the future.

The head of the village took a look at Li Manying's expression and thought that it might be difficult to ask her to deliver the money in person. It would be better for Chen An and his wife not to go to Old Chen's house, so as to prevent Zhao from causing trouble again.

So he said, "Since we have agreed to reconcile, I will go to your house tomorrow morning. You give me the money and I will give it to Chen An and his wife."

"Okay, okay!" Li Manying nodded rapidly, not caring about the pain on her face. She would feel at ease as long as this matter was resolved.

"Then let's all go home and sleep."

The village head waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse. His old bones could hardly bear all the trouble.

Zhao Xiangxiu, Cui Miao and the others spoke a few words to Cheng Yue, then went home with the villagers.

Li Manying climbed up slowly, still yelling in pain, but no one cared about her, so she could only limp down the mountain by herself.

As he walked, he began to hate Zhao. No wonder she asked him to come. It turned out that she had some plan in mind!

This damn old woman always likes to point fingers at others and be the first to take action!

With so many people from the village coming, she didn't believe that Zhao didn't hear anything and was just waiting to reap the benefits without wanting to contribute anything.

If Zhao could have come up and said a word, would she have been beaten so badly?

Li Manying cursed as she walked, and when she returned home and saw that the lights were off in Zhao's room, she became even angrier.

Sleep, sleep, sleep. It would be best if you fall into a deep sleep and cannot wake up!

Here, Chen Lin and his two siblings were in high spirits, their eyes sparkling. Cheng Yue smiled, knowing that the children had let out their anger, and felt relieved.

I wanted to say something, but then I thought about having to set up the stall the next day and being tired from all the work, so I urged the children to go to bed.

Chen An was also helped into the bedroom by Cheng Yue, and said as he walked: "Sister-in-law is quite sensible."

Cheng Yue smiled faintly, "Knowing the current situation is nothing more than having no one to rely on."

If she had a powerful family and husband to support her, how could someone like Li Manying bow her head so easily?

This is why there must be something pitiful about hateful people. However, she will not pity these people. After all, they chose their own path and they deserve to be hated.
