The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Seeing her fearless look, Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Excuse me, Aunt Zhang, I do have evidence."

Li Jianghua narrowed her eyes slightly. "What evidence? Show it to everyone."

"Hey, why are you pulling my mother? Can't you see that I am helping you vent your anger?"

Li Jianghua felt someone pulling her while she was talking. She turned around and saw it was her son. She slapped his hand away and glanced at him unhappily.

Xu Yi, who was standing aside, turned his head to look over when he heard her say that there was evidence.

Unfortunately, Qiao Xi's eyes met his, and his pupils were as clear as a mirror, and he could even see her figure in them.

Qiao Xi was shocked. It was over. She had forgotten about him.

But let's solve the current problem first.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Qiao Qian looked at Li Jianghua. "Aunt Zhang, I think your son just wanted you to stop asking any more questions."

"Ah, bah, you little bitch, you wishful thinking. My son was bewitched by you, but I was not. Today, either you pay money, or get beaten, or you produce evidence and convince me."

Li Jianghua refused to listen and kept shouting with her hands on her hips.

Qiao Xi nodded. Since some people would not cry until they saw the coffin, why should she stop them?

"Are Brother Xu Chong and his wife here?" Qiao Xi looked into the crowd.

"They're not here, but I can go and call them for you."

There was a reply from the crowd.

"Then thank you very much. By the way, please call the village head as well." Qiao Xi added.

"okay!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone saw a young man running away in the blink of an eye.

"What do you want the village head to do?" Li Jianghua was puzzled.

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully, "Aunt Zhang will know soon."

……

"Sister, I'm coming with you, don't be afraid!"

Soon, the young man and the three men arrived at the door of Xu's house.

Xu Chong and Lu Yun were stunned for a moment when they saw so many people. Then they saw Zhang Quan and the fierce Li Jianghua in the crowd, and instantly understood what had happened.

Lu Yun came to Qiao Xi's side, patted her hands and said comforting words.

"Thank you, Brother Chong and Sister-in-law." Qiao Xi looked at everyone. "Brother Xu Chong is well-known in the village for his honesty and integrity. I'm sure everyone knows that. Let Brother Xu Chong tell everyone what happened that day."

As he said this, he gave up his seat.

Xu rushed forward and scratched his head embarrassedly as he was being watched by so many people. He slowly told them the whole story of how he saw Zhang Quan trying to beat Qiao Xi that day.

Finally, he said that some of the injuries on Zhang Quan's face were caused by him because he couldn't stand Zhang Quan, a grown man, bullying a weak woman.

When Zhang Quan heard him say "weak woman", his eyes widened instantly, as if he had heard some fairy tale.

Qiao Xi felt a little guilty, after all, she was not a weak woman.

But now is not the time to worry about these small details.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at everyone, her voice clear, "Now that the truth is out, Aunt Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Jianghua is quite a smart person.

Seeing physical evidence is useless, and there are witnesses, so what can she say?

So he changed his arrogant attitude and skillfully laughed it off, avoiding the topic. "Hey, wasn't that just your brother Zhang Quan trying to play a joke on you? Look at you, how could you take it so seriously?"

joke?

Qiao Xi frowned. Such a serious matter as ruining someone's reputation, and she was done with it just by saying it was a joke? No way!

She looked at the village head with anger on her face and said, "Excuse me, sir, if someone intentionally destroys another's reputation, should they be beaten with twenty sticks?"

"This..." The village chief was a little embarrassed.

Li Jianghua was a well-known shrew, and Xu Qiaoshi was also said to be a bad person. How did they end up clashing? If he had known this was the case, he would have shown up no matter what he said.

However, thinking that Xu Yi was also there, he had to show up. He was a scholar and knew much more than these farmers. If he went to the government office and filed a complaint against him, saying that he didn't care about village affairs, it would be troublesome if the higher-ups sent people to come.

The village head sighed, looked at Li Jianghua, then at Qiao Xi, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "That's right."

Qiao Xi bowed to the village head and said, "Then I'll trouble you to go to the government office."

"Hey, Xu Qiao, do you have to be so ruthless?"

When Li Jianghua heard that her son was going to be sent to the government office to be beaten with a stick, she was immediately unhappy. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed to Qiao Xi to take action.

Qiao Xi never expected her to be so impulsive, and it was too late to hide.

But in order not to be exposed, she chose to close her eyes and endure the coming pain.

"Unwarrantedly destroying someone's reputation is also pushing them to death. You were the first to do it."

But Qiao Xi didn't feel any pain. She quickly opened her eyes and saw that it was Xu Yi who blocked Li Jianghua and spoke for her.

Seeing Li Jianghua's vicious eyes, she pretended to be frightened and patted her chest, then poked her head out from behind Xu Yi, "That's right, you guys forced me to do it first."

Turning around, she pouted, "Master Lizheng, you saw it all."

The village head was afraid that Li Jianghua would really hit someone, so he quickly called a few people to restrain the mother and son and send them to the government office.

Without excitement, everyone will disperse.

Qiao Xi thought to herself that she was not someone who could be easily provoked now, except for one person of course.

Later, I heard that Zhang Quan was indeed beaten with twenty boards, his skin was torn and flesh was exposed. He would probably be unable to get out of bed for a long time. Qiao Xi felt that he deserved it.

……

"Please tell me, sister-in-law!"

Xu Yi stood in the yard, looking at the woman who had a righteous look on her face just now, but now she didn't dare to raise her head, and her eyes were scanning around, not daring to look at him.

"Sister-in-law came home early that day because she knelt in front of my mother's grave for too long. It turns out there's a reason for this today."

"Uh..." Qiao Xi picked at the corner of her clothes, her eyes looking at her nose, her nose looking at her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

After waiting for a long time, just when Xu Yi thought she would not speak, he finally heard Qiao Xi speak.

"You already hated me, and I was afraid that if I told you, you would misunderstand me again, so I didn't tell you. I didn't expect them to come to my house and slander you and me, accusing you and me of doing something improper."

Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end, Xu Yi had to bend down and move closer to her in order to hear what she said clearly.

Suddenly being so close, Qiao Xi subconsciously held her breath and her hand involuntarily touched her neck.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just when Qiao Xi was nervous and thought he was going to pinch her again, she suddenly heard the sound of a gong outside.

She quickly took two steps back, glimpsed the mourning hall, and a plan came to her mind. She laughed dryly, "Well, brother-in-law, I still have to go to keep vigil for mother-in-law. I see that you don't look very well. Go back and get some rest."

After saying this, she walked quickly into the mourning hall without giving Xu Yi a chance to speak.

Looking at her fleeing back, Xu Yi's eyes were like an abyss, unfathomable.

"I want to see what you want to do!"

Xu Yi said this and walked into the room.

Early the next morning.

Qiao Xi pounded her legs and almost crawled out of the mourning hall using her hands and feet.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. By the way, it's getting late, isn't it time to make breakfast?"

Qiao Xi had just stood up with the help of the wall and had no time to catch her breath when she saw Xu Yi coming out of the room.

He said something very politely and caring, and then asked her to cook.

First courtesy, then force, right?

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and thought, "Okay, it looks like they've come up with a new way to torture her today. Come on, who's afraid of who?"
