There were six angry men standing at the door.

It’s the Wu family from Lihua Village.

It was also Xiu'er's in-laws who said they wanted to buy Xiao Hei this morning.

"What are you..."

Old Mrs. Liu frowned and looked at the Wu family with displeasure.

The old woman from the Wu family walked in, sat down on a chair, and started scolding without distinguishing right from wrong.

"You Yuan family, we thought you were an honest and decent family, but we didn't expect you to be such a person. You actually took advantage of us not to bully our Xiu'er.

And you let your dog scratch our Xiu'er!"

Xiu'er was wiping her tears, and her hand, which was scratched by Xiao Hei, was bandaged with gauze. She looked aggrieved and bullied.

Wu Wen, the son of the old woman of the Wu family, hugged Xiu'er in his arms with a look of heartache and glared at the Yuan family with his eyes wide open.

"My Xiu'er is kind-hearted and thinks you are outsiders, so I came here specifically to build a relationship with you, but you actually bully my Xiu'er!"

"That's right, Xiu'er just wanted to go to your house to take a look at the cellar and the kang. With so many villagers here, you dare to bully my Xiu'er openly. Aren't you afraid that the villagers will be angry and drive you out?

Even if you have Master Lu's support, as long as we unite, you won't be able to stay here!"

Mrs. Yu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family, put her hands on her hips and made a ferocious expression. After that, she rolled her eyes at the Yuan family.

When the old man of the Wu family heard this, his eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about it.

"You don't take our Wu family seriously. You dare to bully my Xiu'er with so many villagers here. I can't let it go this time. I want to call the village chief to judge the matter!"

The old woman of the Wu family slammed the table loudly.

The Yuan family now had no appetite at all. They put down their chopsticks and looked silently at the Wu family who spitted as soon as they came in.

"Yes, so many villagers saw us bullying your Xiu'er. Do you want to call them over to testify for you?"

Old Mrs. Liu sighed and looked at Xiu'er with a smug look in her eyes.

Xiu'er's face turned blue and white on her dark face, like a play of drama.

He stammered, "We are not difficult people. Your dog scratched me, so you just need to compensate me with ten taels of silver.

I won’t pursue other matters.”

If she had called the villagers who were watching the cellar and kang at Yuan's house that morning, wouldn't the lies she told her parents-in-law and husband have been exposed?

"Boss, go to the village chief's house and call him over.

Third brother, go and call the folks who came to our house this morning to come over.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Let the villagers tell us how we bullied the new daughter-in-law of the Wu family."

Old man Yuan was smoking a pipe, and his expression showed no emotion.

Xiu'er looked panicked. Before she could say anything, Yuan Lao Da and Yuan Lao San had already run out of the yard.

The Wu family was a little confused. Why did this matter feel so strange?

Wouldn’t most people panic the first time they hear these words?

Why did the Yuan family take the initiative to invite the village chief?

……

After a while, the village chief walked in with a gloomy face, followed by a group of confused villagers.

The village chief had heard the whole story on the way here.

He also felt that the Wu family was just being unreasonable.

It was obvious that this incident was instigated by Xiu'er, the new member of the Wu family. It was also Xiu'er who took the initiative to provoke Xiao Hei, but she ended up crying to the Wu family and complaining that it was the Yuan family who bullied her.

Do you really think that the people in the village are dead?

Is there a bully they won't judge?

You even want to buy Xiao Hei for ten taels of silver. That's really a fantasy.

The villagers who were confused just now understood instantly when they saw Xiu'er with tears on her face.

This is a complaint.

"Village Chief, this is originally a small matter, but our Yuan family is an outsider. No matter how much we do for the village, we can't compare to the people of this village."

"But this doesn't mean we're easy to bully. Some things we did are done, and some we didn't do are not done. I called you and the villagers here today to ask you to bear witness. We definitely didn't bully the Wu family's new daughter-in-law this morning, nor did we let my little black dog bite her.

"Our Yuan family wouldn't do anything to bully others just because Master Lu is backing us up. We were an honest family in the north, and we are still an honest family here."

"The village chief will definitely clear our name fairly and impartially, otherwise the rumors of our Yuan family bullying others will spread in the village. We will be too embarrassed to stay in Lihua Village then."

When Old Lady Liu said this, she revealed three pieces of information.

First, since the Yuan family settled in Lihua Village, they have been helping the village with many things every day.

Second, the Yuan family has Mr. Lu's support and they disdain to do anything to bully others.

Third, if the village chief dares to help the locals indiscriminately, the Yuan family will move out of Lihua Village immediately.

The village chief understood the meaning of Old Lady Liu's words and looked at Wu's bride, Xiu'er, with a grim expression.

The new daughter-in-law of the Wu family is no good. She is trying to sow discord between the Yuan family and the villagers.

Not many people know the truth. If this matter gets out, the Yuan family will definitely be criticized by the villagers who do not know the truth.

"You were all at Yuan's house this morning. Tell me what happened."

The village chief put his hands behind his back and turned to look at the villagers behind him.

"Everything was fine this morning. The Yuan family treated us warmly and didn't bully the new daughter-in-law of the Wu family."

"Yes, the Yuan family's dog brought back several pheasants and roe deer. It's amazing."

"The new daughter-in-law of the Wu family said she would pay ten taels of silver to buy the Yuan family's dog. The Yuan family refused and even left ten taels of silver behind, threatening to drag the dog back home."

"Yeah, don't you think about how powerful this dog is? How docile can a dog that can catch wild game be? She deserves to be caught."

The villagers explained the whole story one by one.

The Wu family looked at Xiu'er with an ugly expression. She was obviously feeling guilty. It turned out that they were being used as a gun.

Xiu'er asked them to come to Yuan's house to get back the ten taels of silver.

"Snapped--"

Xiu'er was slapped in the face. She covered her face and looked at her husband in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her husband, who had just been so caring towards her, would hit her for such a trivial matter.

"...You...you have truly brought shame to the Wu family!"

Old Master Wu pointed at Xiu'er with trembling fingers, his face looking grim.

Old Mrs. Wu pulled Xiu'er's hair with a ferocious look on her face, "You troublemaker, you've embarrassed us the moment you entered the Wu family!"

"Go back and solve your problems, don't make a fool of yourself in other people's homes." The village chief glanced at Mr. Wu.

"go back!"

Old Master Wu's face was extremely gloomy and ugly. He turned around and left the Yuan family yard with his hands behind his back and his head lowered.

Wu Wen led Xiu'er away in shame.

Seeing that the Wu family had left, Old Lady Liu took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the village chief, saying, "Village chief, this is the ten taels of silver that the new daughter-in-law of the Wu family left here. Please help me take it to the Wu family."

Village chief: "Okay, I'm sorry that you have been wronged by this matter."

Old Lady Liu looked at the villagers and said, "Thank you for your help. We will come to thank you another day."
