Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

On her way back, Su Yinyin slightly altered her appearance.

Without power, even a beautiful woman is like an ant in this ancient world, easily trampled upon by anyone. Su Yinyin now has a face full of freckles.

"Auntie, I didn't mean to snatch the baby's candy. Li Wei said that I was too scared to take the baby's candy, that I was a coward, that I would just follow the baby around like a little puppy... So I got angry and started hitting him. I really didn't mean to, I was wrong." Waaaaaah.

"Li Hu, you dare to clarify the facts and face the truth bravely. I'm sure your baby will forgive you."

"Baby, what do you think?"

"I'll listen to my mother."

The villagers and family members nearby were all dumbfounded. What was going on? How did the situation change so drastically? How did the victim become the bully?

“Li Huniang, did you hear me clearly? This matter is not my baby’s fault at all.”

"Li Hu acted under Li Wei's instigation. I would appreciate it if Li Hu would apologize to my baby."

“The culprit is Li Wei. You should seek compensation from him, not us.”

“Let’s go to Li Wei’s house. We need to talk this out in person. Li Wei also needs to apologize to my baby.”

Holding the baby's hand, we walked towards Li Wei's house.

The villagers were completely baffled.

How did Su Baobao become a victim as well?

I don't know either. Let's go and see.

Li Hu's mother, you'd better send someone to invite the village chief.

"Is anyone home at Li Wei's house?" Su Yinyin's clear and loud voice rang out.

At this moment, Li Wei was hiding at home. Upon hearing Su Baobao's mother's voice, his body trembled involuntarily.

He knew he was in trouble. The twelve-year-old boy was starting to scheme against people because he was a lazy and gluttonous fellow.

Delicious, lazy, and cunning.

"Who is it?" As the voice rang out, the courtyard gate opened.

Li Wei's mother looked at everyone in confusion. Her own son again... Just what she feared had come to pass!

"What brings you here? Is there something you need?" The questioner looked at Su Baobao, her mother, Li Hu, Li Hu's mother, and the villagers behind them.

“Li Wei’s mother, your Dawei instigated Li Hu to steal the baby’s candy, and as a result, Li Hu’s hand was broken.”

Su Yinyin's lips curved slightly. In ancient times, there were no entertainment programs, so occasionally watching something exciting could put her in a pretty good mood.

Looking at my mother's gloating expression, I felt a bit smug.

"What does this have to do with my Li Wei? It wasn't Dawei who did it."

"Li Wei's mother, how can you talk like that? If it weren't for your Dawei, would my Li Hu have done such a thing?"

"Who told your Li Hu to be so stupid? If Li Wei told him to eat shit, would he eat it too?"

Li Huniang looks like a shrew, but she's not good with words. Even just standing there without saying a word, her imposing presence is enough to intimidate someone.

“Baby’s mother, come here, you be the judge.”

“Li Wei’s mother, this is Li Wei’s responsibility. Li Wei is twelve years old, Li Hu is only six years old, and Bao Bao is only three years old. The combined age of the two children is not even as old as Li Wei.”

“There are some things that Li Hu can’t distinguish between right and wrong, but Li Weineng can. Usually, when the baby plays with Li Hu, there has never been an incident of them snatching things from each other.”

"Don't take advantage of Li Hu's honesty. Our elders are all here and can tell who the culprit is."

"Li Hu's consultation fees and medical expenses should be borne by Li Wei."

"The baby spilled candy on the floor, it's dirty, and Li Wei needs to compensate for it. An apology is also required."

"You all tell me, is what I said reasonable or not?"

The group whispered among themselves, feeling that Su Yinyin's points made sense.

The village chief is here! The village chief is here! Everyone, please make way.

Everyone started talking at once, telling the village chief what had happened.

"Village chief, can you uphold justice for Li Hu?" Li Hu's mother immediately went up to complain.

“Village chief, Li Wei is so young yet he already knows how to do bad things. Who knows what he will do when he grows up? You have to think about the village’s reputation. Village chief, you have to educate him properly so that he won’t go astray in the future.”

"Otherwise, the children in the village will follow suit or be led astray, and then the moral character and atmosphere of our village will be ruined. Who would dare to marry into our village in the future?"

If I don't give Li Wei eye drops right now, I'm not Su Yinyin.

Looking at the village chief, who was deep in thought, I figured he should have taken my words to heart.

It seems that everything Su Yinyin said makes sense. For the sake of the village children, well, it's decided.

"Su Baobao's mother, Li Hu's mother, how do you want to resolve this matter?"

The village chief hoped to minimize the issue, since they were all from the same village. There were only a few outsider households; the rest shared the same surname.

"Village Chief, I...I..." Li Hu's mother was just an ordinary, honest, and simple village woman, lacking in worldly experience. According to her logic, Li Hu's matter should be Su Baobao's responsibility, but Su Yinyin had led her astray, shifting the blame to Li Wei, and now she didn't know how to resolve it.

However, Su Yinyin seems to be right about everything she says.

Seeing their conflicted expressions, I'm the only one who can take action.

“Village chief, this matter is easy to resolve. Neither of our two families will let Li Wei’s family go bankrupt.”

Mom, could you please not exaggerate like that? Don't scare them! And don't make me a target of hatred!

Upon hearing this, the villagers thought to themselves, "When I get home, I'll tell my children to stay away from Su Baobao."

"Make Li Wei apologize to these two children, compensate Su Baobao for the candy, and also compensate Li Hu for his medical expenses and nutrition."

After some deep thought, the village chief...

“Li Wei’s mother, this matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. I can’t control why you dote on him and don’t let him work, but this matter is indeed Li Wei’s responsibility.”

“Just as Su Yinyin said, you will compensate Li Hu for two taels of silver in medical expenses and compensate Su Baobao for the candy, and thirty copper coins.”

Do you have any objections?

“Impossible, village chief. Two taels of silver is too much. Li Wei’s father worked for half a year and couldn’t even save two taels. Village chief, you’re asking us to pay two taels back? You’re trying to starve us to death.”

“Li Weiniang, before I rushed this way, I asked the doctor…”

“Village chief, we are willing to compensate one tael of silver, any more is really useless.”

Watching their shameless actions and expressions, one might think that if there were excitement to watch every day, life in ancient times wouldn't be so unbearable.

Under the village chief's impartial guidance, the matter was quickly and smoothly resolved, and then the news spread like wildfire.

Su Baobao is very strong, so you shouldn't let your child fight with her. If you get hurt, you'll just have to accept your bad luck.

Su Yinyin is a formidable widow with exceptional eloquence. She's not to be trifled with.

Early the next morning, Su Yinyin took a box of chrysanthemum tea from her spatial storage, quickly packaged it, and carried it in a small jar towards the village chief's house.

We still need to be mindful of social etiquette. Widows often face gossip and are easily bullied.

In the village, it's still necessary to give the village chief some benefits. The prerequisite is that the village chief is a decent person.

Currently, all businesses are on track, and I can travel around the world with my baby.

However, given that the baby is still young, long journeys are not advisable. Actually, it's just laziness, and transportation in ancient times was extremely inconvenient.

You'll get seasick riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

Also, I promised Su Yinyin that I would take care of her enemies as well.
