The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

"What are you doing? Setting up a private torture chamber? Do you still respect the law? Do you even respect me as the village head?" Meng Jianshan's thunderous shout came from a long distance away, silencing everyone around and stopping Mrs. Meng and her family.

Meng Jianshan strode over with an angry face. Xiao Ruxue passed him and ran hurriedly to Meng Ruyue, "Sister, did they bully you?" As she spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string. She looked her sister up and down, "Sister, where are you hurt? It's all Xue'er's fault, wuwu..." she burst into tears.

It seems that Meng Jianshan is the reinforcement that this little girl has called for. No one noticed her before, but now she burst into tears as soon as she came back. Not only did everyone around her become stunned, but Meng Jianshan, who had just arrived, also had a frosty expression on his face.

"What is Aunt Lao Shuan trying to do? Do you really think that Mengjia Village is your home and you can do whatever you want?" Meng Jianshan had long been fed up with this family. They were confused.

"What's wrong with me teaching my granddaughter a lesson?" Old Mrs. Meng shouted, her neck erect. "Even if I report it to the county magistrate, I'll still be in the right."

"You've already divided the family property. The three children took away only their rags and a little food. You weren't given a house, a piece of land, or a penny. And now you're running wild here. Who gave you the face? We have to make our uncle open the ancestral hall and ask the ancestors for advice before they'll stop."

Mrs. Hu, who had always been a bully, felt guilty and told the whole story again without missing a word. After that, she seemed to have found her backbone. "Uncle, tell me, if this money was not hidden when the family was divided, where did it come from?"

Meng Jianshan turned his gaze to Ru Yue, "Girl Yue, what do you think about what happened today?" Everyone also stared at her.

"Uncle head of the village, I took my younger brother and sister-in-law away from the Meng family. We had nothing. You saw it with your own eyes. In order to feed myself, I had to go up the mountain to find food. Thanks to my parents, we collected medicinal herbs and set traps to hunt some living creatures. We took them to the town to exchange for money." She took little Ruxue's hand and untied the cloth wrapped around the wound. "Look, everyone, Xue'er was bitten by a poisonous snake while collecting mountain products. Fortunately, my father taught me some skills to identify herbs when he was alive. Otherwise, otherwise..." Ruyue burst into tears.

"The herbs I collected were sold to Yifengtang in town, and the animals I hunted were sold to Mr. Lou Erye, a wealthy family in town. If you don't believe me, you can go to town and ask for yourselves to see if I'm lying."

"Hmph, even if you didn't steal the money, you were still hooking up with men outside and making them do work for you." Mrs. Hu started to act stupidly again.

"You old bitch, if you dare to say that again, I'll chop you up." Ma Xiaoliu finally interrupted, jumping up and down to curse, "You are a family of unscrupulous bastards. You can even frame your own granddaughter and put the blame on her. Are you still human? You are a bunch of fucking beasts. I'm dirtying my hands just by touching you."

Zhang Erqiang interjected, "Sister Yue said everyone in the village was busy with farm work, and we were the only ones free, so she hired us to help her make thatch and build a straw hut for Anping. Xiaoliu and I just wanted to make some extra money, but ended up getting slapped with this shit by the Meng family."

"You bastards, you old Meng family, dare to slander my son? I will beat you to death." Meng Ruyue's matter has not been resolved yet. When the families of the two village vagrants heard that their sons were framed, they hurried over to fight with the old Meng family.

The old Meng family suddenly became the target of public criticism, and the three women were stunned with fear. Meng Ruyue was easy to deal with, but the Zhang and Ma families were difficult to deal with. These two people were village hooligans and their families were not easy to mess with. Everyone in the village was afraid that they would cause trouble behind the scenes, otherwise two outsiders would not be able to live so freely in Mengjia Village.

"Stop arguing. What else do you have to say?" Meng Jianshan pointed at Old Mrs. Meng and asked.

"We were wrong, but that was spread by the villagers." Old Mrs. Meng said hesitantly.

"Uncle head of the village, the Meng family relied on my ancestry to frame and smear me. They did everything they could. If you don't give us an explanation, how can I, a girl in my teens, survive in the village in the future?" Meng Ruyue said with tears in her eyes.

"What else do you want? We don't ask for money anymore." Before Meng Jianshan could say anything, Hu spoke first.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will file a complaint at the county government office, accusing the Meng family of framing me and ruining my reputation. I want to see if there is still justice in the world," Meng Ruyue said in a resounding voice.

"Even though I'm giving you face, I still don't believe that the county magistrate would care about my own family affairs." When Old Lady Meng saw Ru Yue talking, she showed the same attitude that bullied her in the past.

"Who is your family? Framed your family members? Slandered your granddaughter? How dare you say it's a family matter? Let's see who the county magistrate will beat with a stick." Meng Ruyue, contrary to her usual cowardice, intimidated all the women in the old Meng family.

"So what do you want to do?" Seeing Ru Yue's tough attitude, Meng Laoer's wife knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully today.

"Yue girl, what do you think we should do?" Meng Jianshan also asked.

"Apologize to me in front of the neighbors and give us five taels of silver as compensation."

"You little bitch...you silly girl, don't even think about it. Five taels of silver? Why don't you just rob it?" Mrs. Hu started to jump up and down again.

"Uncle Qingshan, please help me get a car. I will go to the government office to file a complaint today. I don't believe this evil. There is no place for me to reason." After saying that, Meng Ruyue pulled her brother and sister-in-law and walked out of the crowd.

"Wait a minute, I'm wrong this time. I didn't ask clearly and wronged you. You've always been sensible, Yue girl. Don't hold it against me and your aunt." Seeing that she couldn't scare Meng Ruyue, Mrs. Meng immediately bowed her head and said something kindly, "Five taels of silver is too much. I really can't afford it. I'll give you one tael. Is that okay with you?"

Meng Ruyue didn't say anything and continued to walk away, pulling her sister-in-law.

"Two taels."

......

"Three taels."

......

"I'll give you five taels."

"Since grandma said so, Ru Yue, as a junior, can't refuse." She spread out her hands and stretched them towards Mrs. Meng.

"Then please go back and get it, I don't mind waiting here for a while."

Old Madam Meng was so angry that her veins were throbbing. No one was buying her tantrums and jokes. She slapped her eldest daughter-in-law in the face and said, "You have no sense. What are you standing there for? Why don't you go back and get it? Are you waiting for me to get it?"

Meng Lao Da's wife covered her face and stumbled back to get the silver, and the villagers pointed and talked about her again.

Seeing Ru Yue bring the silver, the Zhang and Ma families immediately became excited and united against the old Meng family. "Old woman Meng, what do you mean by putting the blame on our child?" Turning to Meng Jianshan, he said, "Village head, you can't be partial. We don't care what this old woman does to her own family, but she is slandering our son. Our child is already grown up and still hasn't arranged a marriage. If this gets out, will he ever get married?"

"You have to deal with the trouble you caused yourself. If you can't figure it out, go to the government office." Meng Jianshan dropped the ball and ignored them.

"We didn't mention your family name or surname, so why are you asking me for an explanation?" Old Mrs. Meng was still pestering.

"Do you think everyone is a fool and can't hear who you are scolding? What's wrong with Yue girl hiring Erqiang and Xiaoliu to make thatch for her? Not to mention paying them back the two cents. Even if you don't give it to them, the three children have no relatives or friends and live in the same village, so they should lend a hand. You are a black-hearted old hag who has no morals and spews shit all over your mouth. If you don't give us an explanation today, we will go to the authorities. All the young and old men in the village can testify for us." Erqiang's mother is one of the most shrewd women in the village. She never loses in quarrels or fights.

Old Mrs. Meng was so squeezed that she was speechless. She rolled her eyes and tried to pretend to faint.

"If you dare to faint, I will bring my whole family to your house to ask for an explanation." Erqiang's mother saw through Mrs. Meng's thoughts at once and immediately stopped her idea.

"What do you want?"

"We don't ask for much compensation, just three taels per family."

"Give me the money quickly, or there will be no way this matter will be resolved peacefully." Someone in the crowd shouted, which scared Mrs. Meng and completely broke her defense. "It's only one or two taels per family at most. If you like, take it. If not, you can sue wherever you want." Mrs. Meng was determined to go for broke.

The Zhang and Ma families looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. They were just here to watch the fun and wanted to take advantage of Meng Ruyue. They would be satisfied if they could make a few taels of silver.

At this time, Meng Lao Da's wife also came back with five taels of silver, threw it to Meng Ruyue, and helped Old Lady Meng away. Behind them was a large group of villagers who were eager to watch the fun.
