Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 21: Very Hard-mouthed
"Chen Guihua, you filthy old woman, you are lying! My Dabao is such a good child. He is usually so obedient, how could he do such a thing? It must be that Chen Qingning, that losing money, is a bad person. Now she has beaten my Dabao and is trying to frame our family. I bah, you shameless old woman."
The person who came was Chen Dabao's grandmother, Lao Jiao, and Chen Dabao's mother was her niece.
When Xiao Jiao saw her mother-in-law coming, she immediately stood up.
"You crazy woman, you're talking nonsense. Your Dabao is a good boy. Which family in the village hasn't been touched by him? And you're accusing your Dabao? He dared to throw my granddaughter into the river. He's a murderer. If the village chief doesn't do anything, I'll report him to the police and have him arrested and put in jail."
Old Mrs. Chen pointed at Old Mrs. Jiao and neither of them gave in.
"You old bastard, if you dare to call my Dabao a murderer, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Old Jiao rushed over and hit Old Mrs. Chen in the face.
How could Old Mrs. Chen be afraid? She was taller than Old Mrs. Jiao. She grabbed Old Mrs. Jiao's hair and slapped her twice.
When Xiao Jiao saw her mother-in-law being beaten, she left Chen Dabao and came to help.
When Tan and Li saw this, they naturally had to protect their mother-in-law and not let her suffer any loss.
The two men rushed forward, holding Xiao Jiao on the left and right, pinching and kneading her. The scene was very exciting.
"Okay, stop it, stop it, stop it, what are you doing?"
The village chief didn't know what to do, neither knowing whether to pull or not.
"Quick, all of you, pull them apart, pull them apart quickly."
Several women nearby stepped forward to separate the two, but were also innocently affected.
"Bah, you damned woman, you dare to scold my granddaughter, I'll let you go."
Old Mrs. Chen spat at the old Jiao mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again, then stood up and straightened her appearance.
The little ones silently gave thumbs up to their grandma and mom in their hearts, saying they were so brave!
The old Jiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were beaten so badly that they just sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum and rolling around.
"Oh, I can't live anymore. These damn bastards bullied the three of us, mother and daughter. They will not die a good death."
This scene was really funny, and the onlookers' mouths twitched.
The village chief couldn't bear to watch, "Has Chen Laoguai come yet? Look at this shrew."
"I'm coming"
An old man with unsteady legs squeezed in.
"Stop howling, are you mourning? I'm not dead yet."
After being yelled at by Chen Laoguai, Mrs. Jiao stopped crying and got up angrily.
The village chief explained the whole story to Chen Laoguai, "This is what happened. Fighting is a small matter. After all, it's just a quarrel between children."
Changing the subject, "But the girl from the Chen family said that your Dabao threw her into the river on purpose. This is no longer a minor incident."
The village chief's face was gloomy and his voice was cold, "If it is true, we in Chenjia Village will not tolerate such vicious behavior."
"She said my Dabao threw her into the water, but I said she jumped in on her own and falsely accused my Dabao. Who saw it? Do you have any evidence?"
Xiao Jiao was quick-witted and realized immediately that evidence was required for everything.
"Humph, are you bullying my Qing Ning because she's young and forgetful? Everyone knows what kind of person your Da Bao is. He's so young and doesn't learn his lesson. He does bad things and then he just waits for others to catch him?"
Tan was really furious, but she also knew that in this kind of situation, it was about catching the person red-handed.
"Bah, you are such a shameless family. You beat someone up and still falsely accuse him of something."
Old Jiao reacted and pointed at Old Mrs. Chen's family, immediately feeling righteous.
[Humph, I won’t believe Jiao unless I skin you alive.]
"Shut up, are you the village chief or am I the village chief?"
The village chief roared, and everyone shut up.
The village chief turned to Qing Ning and asked softly.
"Qing Ning, you said Chen Dabao pushed you. Why did he push you? Do you still remember?"
Qing Ning knew that they couldn't say anything carelessly when it came to human lives. Without actual evidence, they would most likely become the perpetrators.
But she didn't have a deep impression of what happened that day. When she thought about it now, she only remembered that Chen Dabao asked her what she wanted. When she refused, Chen Dabao snatched the thing from her and pushed her into the river.
What happened next was what happened after waking up. This memory may be the original owner's last memory obsession.
Qing Ning told her what she remembered truthfully.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I almost died after I fell ill, and the fever lasted so long that I can't remember everything. I don't remember Chen Dabao asking me for anything, but I remember that he pushed me, and I didn't wrongly accuse him."
After saying this, Qingning felt very aggrieved, not for herself but for her original body. Seeing this, Tan picked her up and patted her gently.
"Humph, after all, there's still no evidence. They think my Dabao is easy to bully and are making false accusations. They want to blackmail us."
Old Jiao looked very proud.
"The village chief is here, so keep quiet."
Chen Laoguai rubbed his old wife.
"Village chief, this girl from the Chen family is only a little old and she's been ill for a few days. It's possible that she made some mistakes in her memory. We won't bother with a child. But today, she beat up my eldest son. There should be an explanation for this, right?"
As soon as Chen Laoguai started talking, the other families who had been beaten also echoed him, "And there are my children."
"Okay, what are you arguing about?"
The village chief was annoyed by the noise. What a big deal.
Qingsong said, "Maybe we won't be able to find evidence right away, but Chen Dabao just admitted that he pushed Qingning into the river."
"Yes, he just admitted it himself. Not only did we hear it, they all heard it too."
Qingwu pointed at the children who were being beaten nearby.
The village chief glanced at all the children present and had an idea in his mind.
Before he could speak, Qing Ning said, "Humph, if you insist on evidence, then we'll go to the county government office. I believe the Ming government will be able to give us all justice."
After a pause, he said in a cold voice, "I'm not lying and I'm not afraid. I just don't know if some people can withstand a good beating."
Qingsong, Qingbai and Qingwu immediately understood and stepped forward to take Chen Laoguai and his family away.
"Let's go to the county government office and ask the prefect to conduct a thorough investigation. If the facts are proven, not only will you be beaten with a stick, but you will also be imprisoned."
"Let's go together. No one can escape."
Chen Laoguai and his family were dragged away and could not break free for a while.
Chen Dabao was even more frightened and screamed continuously.
"I won't go, I won't go. I don't want to be beaten, I don't want to go to jail."
Chen Dabao's cry was like an admission of guilt, and the village chief was so angry that he had a headache.
[Humph, you're already scared. You thought you were so capable, what a coward!]
"Okay, everyone, listen to me."
The village chief spoke up, calmed the situation, and stared at Chen Dabao with a stern look on his face.
"Chen Dabao, tell me whether you pushed Qing Ning or not? Tell me the truth, or I will send you directly to the county government office."
"I, that day~"
Chen Dabao was gasping for breath and speaking incoherently, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Chen Laoguai.
"Village chief, don't scare Dabao. He's still young and must have been frightened. We are not afraid of going to the government office."
Chen Laoguai whispered a few words to comfort Chen Dabao, and Chen Dabao stopped crying.
"Yes, I was just scared and my mind was confused. I'm not afraid to go."
Grandpa is right. There is nothing to be afraid of without evidence.
Suddenly he felt that he could do it again and he was very stubborn.
"Hmph, you ignorant child, you are extremely foolish. According to our dynasty's laws, anyone over the age of twelve who injures someone but does not kill them will be sentenced to exile and must compensate the victim as appropriate."
Mr. Ma stood still as he walked through the crowd, his hands behind his back. "Do you think the county magistrate is a pushover? Do you know how many tricks the county magistrate has? Not to mention you, a kid, even the bandits who kill and rob people couldn't withstand this. How can you handle it?"
The last sentence was pronounced very clearly, and his eyes moved around Chen Laoguai and the others, making them feel scared.
Others may be lying, but Mr. Ma is highly respected by the villagers, and Mr. Ma has seen the world, so what he says is definitely true.
