Jiang Xiaohe stared at her: "If she didn't steal the money, you should apologize to her, right?"

Zhang Xiu'e stared at her with amusement: "Not stolen? I don't believe it. How can a little girl like her have so much silver? I think, even if it wasn't stolen from me, it must have been stolen from someone else's house in the village. Everyone should go back and take a good look to see if there is any silver missing from their own house!"

These words stunned the crowd watching.

Xu Xiaohua didn't know what to say. She could only cry and repeat aggrievedly: "No, I didn't steal the silver!"

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Xiu'e was very satisfied.

Jiang Xiaohe protected Xu Xiaohua and said to her, "You don't need to worry about anything else. I just want to ask, if I can prove that she didn't steal the money, will you apologize to her?"

Zhang Xiu'e was not afraid. She put her hands on her waist and said, "If you can prove that the silver is really hers, I will apologize to her!"

"Kneel down and apologize. Besides, you wronged her and wanted to take the money!" Jiang Xiaohe narrowed her eyes and said coldly.

Zhang Xiu'e also narrowed her eyes and stared at her, thinking that she was going a little too far!

But now it is difficult to get off the tiger.

Jiang Xiaohe rolled her eyes at her and said respectfully to Zhang Shunchang, "Village Chief, if this is Xu Xiaohua's money, and I can tell you where it came from, it's reasonable for me to ask for an apology, right?"

Zhang Shunchang nodded and looked at Zhang Xiu'e: "Xu's?"

Zhang Xiu'e gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if you can tell me where it came from, then I'll apologize. But if you can't, then she stole the money from me!"

After all, she still wanted to get the money for free.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at her like an idiot. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant!

"You should all be wondering why I know the number of copper coins, right?"

The onlookers nodded.

"Because this copper coin is what I gave to Xu Xiaohua!"

Everyone gasped.

"Hahaha... little widow! You are such a boaster! Your family is so poor, how can you afford so much money? And Xu Xiaohua is not related to you at all, why did you give her money?"

"Then don't worry about it. Xu Xiaohua and I started a business together. This money is also for business, she deserves it. If you don't believe it, you can go to the market in town to ask. There is a big sister next door to our business. Where is she every day? You can go and ask her and you will know whether what I said is true or not."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaohe's words were so logical and well-founded, everyone couldn't help but believe it a little.

Zhang Shunchang lowered his head and asked Xu Xiaohua beside Jiang Xiaohe: "Is what Jiang Xiaohe said true?"

Xu Xiaohua nodded.

"Why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

After hesitating, Xu Xiaohua said, "Because Aunt Jiang said that this matter must not be known to others."

Zhang Shunchang nodded. If it was really a profitable business, the more conservative the better. Everyone naturally understood this truth. However, everyone was just guessing what kind of business this was that could earn them more than a hundred copper coins!

Wu Youhua in the crowd looked at Jiang Xiaohe, and she wanted to stare a hole in her body. The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were acting in front of her that day!

Jiang Xiaohe also felt this gaze. She raised her head slightly and looked at Wu Youhua. Wu Youhua snorted, turned around and left.

Zhang Xiu'e stood aside in silence. Jiang Xiaohe stared at her and said, "Now you should apologize, right?"

Zhang Xiu'e ignored her words and rushed to Xu Xiaohua, twisted her ears and said sternly: "What kind of business is this that can make so much money in a day? An? You have a profitable business, but you don't partner with your own people, but partner with outsiders. Are you deliberately trying to piss me off to death!"

Xu Xiaohua stood on tiptoe, screaming in pain. The tears that had just been held back fell again in an instant: "Aunt, it hurts, Xiaohua is in so much pain!"

Zhang Xiu'e didn't care.

Jiang Xiaohe rushed forward and tried to twist her hand away, but the fat woman was determined to kill her. Seeing that blood was flowing from under Zhang Xiaohua's ear, the people watching outside felt a little bit sorry for her.

Jiang Xiaohe saw a sickle on the ground next to her, picked it up, and chopped towards her hand. Zhang Xiu'e was scared and stopped.

Jiang Xiaohe was very angry. She looked at Xu Xiaohua again and saw her squatting on the ground, covering her ears with her hands. Her whole face was wrinkled in pain.

"Xiaohua, let me take a look."

Xu Xiaohua took her hand away tremblingly, only to see that the area below her ear was torn open.

The onlookers also saw it and sighed, thinking that Zhang Xiu'e was too cruel.

Jiang Xiaohe felt even more sorry for her.

"Doctor Niu, come and help Xiaohua."

Xu Xiaohua covered her ears with tears in her eyes, but she shook her head desperately: "No, no need, Xiaohua is fine! In two days, she will be fine in two days."

She knew that seeing a doctor would cost money, but that money had to be saved for her grandmother's medical treatment.

Jiang Xiaohe felt very distressed and looked up at Zhang Xiu'e, only to see her with her hands on her hips, looking as if she had done the right thing.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zhang Shunchang, but saw that Zhang Shunchang didn't say anything.

Because in Zhang Shunchang's mind, this matter was, after all, someone else's family affair, and as a village chief, he couldn't say anything.

Jiang Xiaohe glanced at Zhang Xiaohua. The sight of this little girl reminded her of her dark childhood. Without thinking, she grabbed the sickle and chopped towards Zhang Xiu'e. Only at that moment did she see a trace of fear on Zhang Xiu'e's face.

But before her sickle could reach Zhang Xiu'e, she was stopped by Aunt Hua: "Xiao He, no, no!"

Jiang Xiaohe's eyes turned red with anger: "Aunt! She is a beast, a beast! She can even kill such a young child!"

Seeing someone stand up for her, Xu Xiaohua's tears fell even harder, but she rushed over and hugged Jiang Xiaohe's legs: "Auntie, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Zhang Xiu'e hid behind the village chief and pointed at Jiang Xiaohe in a shrill voice: "Village chief, that young widow wants to kill someone!"

Zhang Shunchang couldn't bear it anymore!

If he doesn't say something fair, there might really be a murder in their village!

"How dare you say she killed someone! If your uncle and sister-in-law were still alive, they would have killed you long ago for treating their children like you!" Zhang Shunchang roared.

Zhang Xiu'e was stunned: "Village head?"

Zhang Shunchang pointed at her and cursed, "Her parents are gone. When the family was divided, you yelled that she was a girl and refused to give her even one acre of land. If it weren't for your parents-in-law's conscience, she would have starved to death in the village! As an aunt, you are her mother when her mother is gone. It's ok that you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother, but you often beat and scold her. We outsiders turn a blind eye to it. After all, this is your family affair. But now in front of so many people, you can't just wrongly accuse her, but you are so cruel to her. Don't blame Jiang Xiaohe for not being able to bear it! Think about it, if your Cailian was bullied like this, would you, as a mother, be able to swallow this breath!"

Zhang Xiu'e pouted, looking unconvinced, but Zhang Shunchang was the village chief and she couldn't say anything.

Zhang Shunchang didn't want to waste time talking to her. "I'm telling you, Zhang Xiu'e, since we've split up, you have no right to tell Xu Xiaohua what to do! If you do something so cruel next time, don't blame me for kicking you out of our village! We can't keep a woman as cruel as you in our village!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to Doctor Niu, "Check Xu Xiaohua's injuries. The medical expenses will be charged to Zhang Xiu'e!"

"Why? I won't give you money!"

Zhang Shunchang nodded: "Okay, if you don't want to give it to me, then you have to give up your land, and not even one acre less should be given to Xu Xiaohua."

Zhang Xiu'e immediately turned into a quail.
