Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

"Laoguai, if Dabao really did something wrong, he should admit it quickly. It will be too late when he gets to the county government office."

An old man in the crowd started to persuade them, and after one person spoke, the others followed suit.

"Yeah, Dabao is a scoundrel on weekdays, and he can really do it."

"Well, when I'm playing with cats and dogs, which one hasn't been bullied?"

"Look at him like this, he definitely can't handle the majesty of the Ming Mansion."

"Old Chen, make your grandson admit his mistake quickly, or he'll lose half his life if he doesn't die."

"That's right, that's right. Admit your mistake, apologize to the Chen family, and maybe they will forgive you."

Everyone was talking at once, and Chen Laoguai's face turned red and white.

"Grandpa, I don't want to go to the county government office. I don't want to die~"

Chen Dabao was completely frightened and started crying immediately.

Old Jiao and Little Jiao were frightened and quietly pulled Chen Laoguai's sleeve, signaling him to make a decision.

Seeing them like this, the village chief didn't understand anything and didn't want to bother with anything else.

"Okay, this matter is not my business. I will accompany you to the county government office."

Chen Laoguai was immediately anxious when he heard this. "No, no, no, Village Chief, we are not going to the county government office. This kid must be playing a big game with Qing Ning."

[Very good at changing the concept]

Qing Ning rolled her eyes silently in her heart.

Xiao Jiao pulled Chen Dabao and moved closer to Chen Qingning.

Chen Dabao lost his balance and staggered, falling to his knees.

"Wow, I don't want to be afraid. Chen Dabao will kill people."

Qing Ning opened his mouth and howled.

"No, we can't afford it. Let's go to the county government office and let the judge judge. My poor Qing Ning~"

Tan also wiped away her tears in a show of weakness.

Chen Laoguai knew that he couldn't go to the county government office, so he could only beg Old Lady Chen with a flattering face.

"Sister-in-law, look, these are just children playing around. Don't take them seriously."

"No, what kid would throw someone into the water just for fun? If everyone plays like this, how many children in our village will survive?"

Old Mrs. Chen meant to tell everyone that today it was my child who suffered, but tomorrow it might be someone else's child. If you say this is just a joke, that would be disastrous.

The people around echoed in unison.

"Yeah, yeah, some kid threw someone into the water for fun."

"It was so cold in early spring. That girl Qing Ning was almost beyond saving. Village chief, you must handle this matter properly."

"Yes, yes, we can't just let it go so easily~"

Old Jiao was not convinced and jumped out to curse at everyone.

"Bah, what are you people talking about..."

"Shut up, or I'll spank you."

As soon as he started to throw a tantrum, he was stopped by Chen Laoguai.

Qing Ning looked at him coldly, "It seems that this old man is a sensible person, but his heart is not very good."

Chen Laoguai smiled at the Chen family and said, "Sister-in-law, it's the child's fault. Let him kowtow to Qing Ning to apologize. Since he is the only child in our family, please be magnanimous and don't bother with him."

Old Mrs. Chen stepped aside and looked at the village chief. The village chief also wanted to teach Chen Dabao a lesson and serve as a warning to the villagers.

"Sister-in-law, do whatever you want."

It is not easy for the village chief to mediate this matter. Who can talk without feeling any pain when it comes to matters of life?

When Chen Laoguai saw this, he became determined and knelt down immediately.

"Sister-in-law, please, please forgive Dabao this time. I promise he will never do such a bad thing again."

After saying that, he pulled Chen Dabao and kowtowed continuously.

Xiao Jiao knew that at this moment, the only way to save her son from suffering was to kneel down and kowtow.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiao couldn't kneel down. If she didn't kneel down, her grandson would suffer again. She was the only child in the family, so she made up her mind and knelt down.

"Qing Ning, I was wrong. I will never ask you for anything again. I bullied you. Please forgive me."

Chen Dabao was crying with tears and snot all over his face, and he looked very miserable with mud all over his body.

"Aunt, we were wrong. Please forgive your nephew."

The family kept kowtowing to the Chen family and admitting their mistakes, which made them seem a bit weak.

"When have you ever seen the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Old Jiao family behave like this?"

"It's all the children's fault. He's the only one in their family. Are they really going to send him to jail?"

Everyone sighed.

"It's okay if you don't report him to the authorities, but this matter can't be resolved so easily."

After a long while, Tan finally spoke.

Several people stopped and looked up at her.

Tan looked at the village chief and said, "Uncle Gao Jie, since they have admitted it, let's give them a chance."

Village chief: "Go ahead."

"We are not unsympathetic, but this matter can be serious or minor. If we just brush it aside, it won't deter others. There might be more trouble in the future. If someone dies, our village won't be able to hold its head up high."

What Tan said was true. People in a village were more or less related to each other. If a villain appeared, who would be willing to interact with the villagers anymore?

"That's right. We can't let it go so easily."

The village chief took over the conversation and understood what Tan meant. This evil man could not be taken care of by the Chen family.

"Chen Laoguai, I'm being lenient by not sending you to the county government office, but there must still be punishment. Do you have any objections?"

Chen Laoguai: "No objection, no objection. Thank you, village chief, thank you, sister-in-law, and niece-in-law."

"That's right. From today on, Chen Dabao will kneel in the ancestral hall for five full hours every day for ten consecutive days. He will also write a letter of guarantee. If he does this again, your family will be expelled from the clan."

The punishment from the village chief is indeed severe. If one abandons the roots of his ancestors, then he will be like a floating duckweed, tantamount to exile.

For a moment, the scene was silent and no one spoke.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this is reasonable?"

The village chief turned around and asked Old Lady Chen for her opinion.

"After all, my granddaughter is the victim. If she agrees, I have no objection."

The village chief looked at Qing Ning who was being held by Tan, and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, let his family beat him a few more times. It will teach him a lesson."

She knew the matter should end here, and that this punishment was not light. She personally vented the anger of the original owner, and would count a few more hits as interest, hoping that the original owner would feel better.

After he finished speaking, the village chief looked at Qing Ning deeply. This kid is not bad.

"That's it, it's settled."

He immediately led everyone to the ancestral hall and arranged for someone to go to his house to get paper and pen.

The group arrived at the ancestral hall and waited for paper and pen to be delivered. The village chief then wrote a letter of guarantee and asked Chen Laoguai and his family to put their fingerprints on it.

"Qingning, I'll keep this letter of guarantee with you, grandpa." The village chief said as he put the letter of guarantee away.

"It's best if you keep it, village chief. But didn't Mr. Ma say that the law requires compensation for the victims? I have spent all the money in my family on medical treatment and medicine, and I still owe Mr. Ma a lot of medicine money. Doesn't his family want compensation?" Qing Ning looked at the village chief innocently.

This kid is a smart guy!
