Jiang Jinhe spoke in a gentle but firm tone.

"Looking for the village chief?"

Song Yuyu's face was full of confusion. Her eyes suddenly fell on Li Yue lying on the ground. She saw Li Yue lying there motionless. This surprised Song Yuyu. "Oh, is this bad woman dead? Don't let this matter involve our family!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if the person lying on the ground was not a living person but something scary.

Aunt Song, Song Muchang and others had already noticed Li Yue lying on the ground. When they heard this, they became even more nervous and hurriedly gathered around to check the situation. The expression on everyone's face was indescribable panic.

"Jin He, what on earth is going on? Why did this happen suddenly?"

Aunt Song asked anxiously, and it was obvious that she was also very worried that this matter would have an adverse impact on her family.

Jiang Jinhe looked at the rising sun calmly with a faint smile on her face, as if this matter was not a big deal to her at all.

"Mom, just now Li Yue wanted to hit me, but at that moment a bolt of lightning came down from the sky and knocked her out."

She spoke very calmly and naturally.

"..."

There was silence at the scene. Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they heard. Then they all turned their eyes to the sky for the answer.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Jiang Jinhe added, "Don't believe it? When Li Yue wakes up, you can ask her in person what happened."

When Song Yuyu heard this, she immediately said excitedly: "I believe it! No matter whether others believe it or not, I must believe what our third sister-in-law said."

Then he turned and ran out, muttering to himself as he ran: "The bad woman was struck by lightning, so what? Why is she still looking for the village chief? She's not really dead!"

This sentence flashed quickly through Song Yuyu's mind.

Indeed, in her logic, this seemingly evil-rewarding result was enough to make her feel a small sense of revenge.

However, in this quiet little village, there is a more complicated and fixed set of procedures that need to be followed.

In Daliang, if someone in a family unfortunately passes away, the first thing to do is to immediately notify the village chief to come and check on them.

This rule has a long history. It is not only out of respect for the deceased, but more importantly, through formal confirmation, one can obtain an important certificate issued by the village chief - a death certificate.

This certificate will then be sent to the county to complete the account cancellation procedures, so that the deceased will no longer be subject to taxation.

Could it be that Third Sister-in-law really wants...

Thinking of this, an inexplicable palpitation instantly ran through her whole body, making Song Yuyu's steps even more rapid, as if there was wind under her feet as she walked quickly towards the home of the village chief Li Congyi.

In the Song family courtyard not far away, a group of people gathered. They surrounded the woman named Li Yue who was lying on the ground and talked about her.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were scared, some were confused, and some even had a hint of gloating.

"Did this woman die from electrocution?"

Song Muchang frowned and asked, his tone showing both curiosity about the facts and lament for the fragility of life.

Another older woman—everyone called her Auntie Song—took over the conversation, speaking in a firmer, more philosophical voice: "Since ancient times, good people have had short lives, while those who do evil have lived forever. In my opinion, she won't be finished so easily."

Then another man interrupted, "He really was struck by lightning! Look, the aftereffects are starting to kick in now. Look at his face, it's all black and blue."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at the face of the man lying on the ground.

At this moment, Hua Zhaodi took the opportunity to pull her three daughters over and began to lecture them: "Bad deeds will be followed by bad consequences, and only good deeds will bring good rewards. This is a living example for you - look at your second aunt's current fate. You must never learn from her. If you want to learn from her, choose a good role model like your third aunt!"

Faced with their mother's earnest teachings, the three little girls agreed in unison and promised in clear voices: "Yes, we must be good people like Aunt San!"

Meanwhile, two little boys on the other side asked their mother with confusion, "Mom, why were you struck by lightning today? Weren't we planning to make a lot of money together last night?"

A young man nearby asked anxiously, "Hey, is she going to die just like that?"

There was worry and tension in his words.

When Jiang Jinhe heard this question, he just moved his lips slightly, but did not answer immediately.

Because she had already made up her mind: no matter whether the woman in front of her was alive or dead, she would never miss any opportunity to suppress her and must teach her a lesson.

After all, although the other party holds some unknown secrets of the Song family, on the other hand, she also has chips in her hands that can threaten her!

Where will this silent contest go?

snort!

Soon, Song Yuyu appeared in front of everyone, dragging Li Congyi, who was running over breathlessly, followed by a group of fellow villagers who had heard the news and rushed over to see what was going on.

"What's going on?

Making a fuss so early in the morning?

Li Congyi had just gained his footing when his eyes unconsciously scanned his surroundings. He soon noticed the figure lying on the ground—it was none other than Li Yue, the person at the center of everyone's discussion.

Her hair was messy, covered with dust and unknown stains, as if she had experienced extremely difficult ordeal somewhere.

Her face was also covered with black and white spots, as if she had just crawled out of an old chimney, covered in traces of charcoal ash and smoke.

Only her slightly trembling hands and feet could make people feel that there were still faint signs of life in this body, proving that she was still alive.

He looked at Song Yuyu in surprise, and for a moment he couldn't believe what he saw.

He was originally wondering, how could a thunderstorm come without any warning on such a sunny day?

"Is this really a lightning strike?"

As he blurted out these words, he also looked at the incredible scene in front of him with a puzzled expression.

When the men, women, young and old in the village heard that such a strange thing had happened, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around to see what was going on.

For the villagers, it is a very rare experience to come into such close contact with a disaster scene caused by natural forces.

"That's right! She was struck directly by lightning!"

An old man said this in a positive tone, as if he had no doubt about it.
