The young couple from the farm fights back

Lin raised her old eyebrows in displeasure, and her already harsh expression became even more aggressive.

Before Mrs. Lin could react, Uncle Zhou Er put his hands behind his back and took two steps forward with a cold expression: "Today we are here to seek justice from the brothers of the old family. If your family can't talk things over, I will risk my reputation and ask the clan leader to come over. What do you think?"

Lin's voice, which was about to be raised, stopped mid-sentence, and a hint of fear appeared under her angry face.

The rumors in the entire Shilitun are very unfavorable to Yue'er. If the clan leader is alarmed again, the consequences will be self-evident.

Naturally, Mrs. Lin didn't want her precious daughter to be dragged into public view, so she wanted to send her daughter to the town to avoid the limelight for a few days. After some time, when the people in the village gradually forgot about the matter, she would let her daughter come back.

When he heard that the clan leader was invited, Zhou Laosan could no longer contain himself. He quietly came to Lin's side and shook his head slightly to indicate.

It can be seen that Zhou Laosan was also worried that the matter would be brought to the attention of the clan leader, as their family was ultimately in the wrong.

Zhou Laoer was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening and came to Lin's side.

I think it's not appropriate to bring this matter to the clan leader. Not to mention that Yue'er is still a young girl who is not even as old as Ji. This kind of thing will have a profound impact on the girl's reputation. How can she find a good husband in the future?

Lin had to assess the situation and glared angrily at the eldest wife and her husband with gritted teeth.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows provocatively, which made Lin even more angry.

I thought to myself, I really underestimated this couple in the past!

Finally, Zhou Laosan came forward and brought the people to the main hall, fearing that if they discussed things in the yard, they would be heard by the neighbors and villagers, and that even more unpleasant words would be spread.

The main hall of Old Zhou's family is considered the most respectable and tidy among the houses in the village, with new and clean tables and chairs and everything you need.

Lin and Zhou Laosan sat on the two chairs at the top, while Zhou Laoer stood behind his mother cautiously.

Zhou Chunfeng and his wife, and Zhou Ershu's family, were sitting at the tables below. The atmosphere was tense and filled with a strange atmosphere.

Jiang Li insisted that Zhou Xingyue come out and face the whole matter without saying a word.

Of course, Lin had to stop them: "My daughter Yue'er is not feeling well and should not see outsiders. I, as her mother, will take care of Yue'er's affairs. Please don't bully me."

Jiang Li sneered, "Look at what you're saying. Is it our fault that your daughter is unwell? My child is still lying on the kang, and you want to send us away just because she's unwell?"

Zhou Laosan's face was gloomy, as if he had eaten a fly. However, the eldest wife had found Zhou Ershu's family as a backer, and they could call in the clan leader anytime and anywhere.

Aunt Hu and Uncle Zhou Er were in no hurry to speak. They used to seem like an honest and ordinary couple, but now they were like two Mount Tais, intimidating Lin so much that she didn't dare to jump.

Zhou Chunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhou Laosan with a cold gaze.

When Zhou Chunfeng's terrifying gaze met his, Zhou Laosan was so angry that his lungs ached. He could only curse inwardly, his taut jawline sharp and angular.

Jiang Li ignored Zhou Lao San and glared at Lin. He said firmly, "We are here today to seek justice for my brother. I want to ask the fourth girl how you could be so cruel as to do such a cruel thing to these children!"

Lin's breath was choked. It seemed that she couldn't get the truth out of her daughter.

But he had to put on airs and said, "My Yue'er told me that she was also coerced by the thieves. Besides, your boys are fine too. So, are you trying to drag my Yue'er into this?"

Hearing this, Dashuan couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Coercion? Aunt Lin, you're not treating our villagers like fools, are you?"

Uncle Zhou Er always knew that his son was tough, so he talked about serious matters at the critical moment. He glanced at Dashuan out of the corner of his eye and cleared his throat.

Dashuan wanted to make a few more jokes, but seeing this, he touched his nose awkwardly and sat down quietly.

Zhou Laosan glared at him fiercely, and when he saw Zhou Chunfeng's even colder eyes, he had to suppress his anger and curl his lips.

Aunt Hu said, "Ms. Lin, the evidence is already set in stone. Do you think you can just use your old mouth to make a few excuses and get the Fourth Girl out of this? How many people saw the Fourth Girl stuffing purses into people's hands after she succeeded? How can you coerce her into giving them money?"

"Nonsense, that didn't happen at all!" Lin couldn't suppress her anger and refused to admit it.

Since the incident was spread around the village yesterday, the butcher's wife who witnessed the incident that day saw that everyone was discussing it, so she also vaguely told the story of what she had witnessed that day.

It can be said that there are witness testimonies.

Zhou Chunfeng curled his lips slightly and said coldly, "Okay, since the fourth brother doesn't admit it, let's report it to the police."

Upon hearing this, Lin was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up: "Boss, don't talk nonsense. Do you really think that the government office is yours? You report this and that to the authorities. Why don't you become an official?"

Zhou Lao Er, who had been silent the entire time, had no choice but to speak up to mediate: "Brother, this matter concerns our fourth sister's reputation. I hope you won't get angry with a girl like her, and you must not report it to the police, otherwise how will our fourth sister be able to have a good life in the future?"

Jiang Li sneered and glanced at him, "Why, are you morally blackmailing our eldest wife? The fourth girl did it herself, shouldn't she take responsibility for it? Besides, she's your fourth sister, not our eldest wife's fourth sister. We've already separated."

"Oh, yes, not only did we split up the family, we also branched out." Jiang Li reminded again: "So, don't play the emotional card in front of our eldest wife. If the fourth girl had any regard for family affection, would she attack her own nephew?"

Jiang Li became more and more angry as she spoke. She lowered her voice and looked at Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San coldly: "Why don't you let your sister try those medicines on your children? How do you feel as parents?"

"Jiang..." Lin pursed her lips, her chest heaving with anger.

Jiang Li also stood up from the chair and looked at Lin with amusement: "So you also know how to feel sorry for your own flesh and blood? So, what is your right to let us, the eldest family, ignore it? With your shameless skin, or with your mouth that can only quibble? Today, your old Zhou family can't give this justice, so just do as I said, report it to the police."

Obviously, Zhou Laoer was speechless after being scolded by Jiang Li. After all, he also had a child at home. Think about it calmly, which parent would want to see their child suffer that kind of torture?

When talking about his little daughter, Zhou Laosan had to suppress his emotions. Although his mother did not like Baozhu from their third room, she was his and his wife's first child, so there was no reason not to love her.

Lin took a deep breath and glared at Jiang Li with narrowed eyes: "I know, you came here today just to extort money, right?"

Jiang Li did not deny it and looked at her quietly.

"I'll give you a few dozen bucks, just enough for your kid to get a few pills to sober up. I just want the money."

Zhou Chunfeng was amused by Lin's arrogant words. Who was he looking down on?

His wife could earn at least one and a half taels of silver every time she went up the mountain.

"Ms. Lin, don't be so heartless. A few dozen dollars? How can you say that?" The speaker was Aunt Hu.

Lin used to feel pain all day long if she missed a penny, and dozens of coins were already a sky-high price for her. Unexpectedly, these people still thought it was not enough.

Uncle Zhou Er looked at Zhou Chunfeng silently. They had already discussed this before coming and asked Uncle Zhou Er to help ask for compensation.

After all, Uncle Zhou’s seniority is obvious, so the Zhou family needs to think carefully about it.

Uncle Zhou Er said, "The fourth girl injured three children. Everyone in the village knows about this. Whether it's the government or the clan, your family is the one that gets the blame. Now, the child lies on the kang all day long. If it were your own grandson, Lin, would you let it go?"

Seeing that Lin was suppressing her anger and remained silent, Uncle Zhou continued, "Five taels of silver for each child, a total of fifteen taels. Not a penny less."

"What!!" Lin's voice immediately rose several degrees, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Fifteen taels? Why don’t they just go and rob it!

When Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laoer heard that the eldest wife was demanding fifteen taels of silver, they jumped up from their chairs in shock.
