My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

The common people fear officials, and the village chief is also considered an "official" in some respects, managing about a hundred households in Qingshui Village. His authority goes without saying.

Just then, the village chief arrived, and no one said a word, just waiting for him to execute the two thieves.

Wang stopped crying.

The village chief came to plead her case, and she naturally wanted to recount her grievances in tears, so she told him everything that had happened that day.

“Village chief, I really didn’t steal anything, nor did I sneak into the house. Yang was just here; she saw us come. If you don’t believe me, ask Shen Yu. She was here too; she knows everything.”

Wang suddenly calmed down; wasn't there a witness here?

She smiled smugly, "Shen Yu, just tell me, did we sneak into your house? Wasn't your mother just here? We were talking about something."

Gu Deyuan also looked at Shen Yu, "Shen, is what your grandmother said true? They entered the house in front of your mother?"

Yang Fenglan's heart suddenly jumped. Shen Yu hated the original owner. If she wanted to be a good person and told the truth, how should she break the deadlock?

She also looked at Shen Yu, praying in her heart that she would be smarter and figure out what was in her best interest.

Amidst the expectant and gossipy gazes of the crowd, Shen Yu parted her lips slightly and said, "I don't know. I've been embroidering at home. I heard a noise just now, so I came out to see what was going on and found out that Grandma and Aunt were there."

“You’re lying! You were just blocking the door and wouldn’t let me into your room!” Wang Guihua said.

"Just now? Auntie, are you saying that you still wanted to come into my room and search for things?" Shen Yu frowned slightly, looking pitiful and innocent.

A seemingly casual remark has sparked countless thoughts.

Yang Fenglan: Phew~ Luckily, the female lead is one of us today.

Then I felt a chill run down my spine.

Previously, when the original owner heard the villagers talking about her being a wicked mother-in-law, would it be like today, with Shen Yu giving a loose thread and everyone pulling at it randomly, eventually forming a tangled mess of "truth"?

In my past life, I would have been a village full of keyboard warriors.

She suddenly couldn't understand what kind of person Shen Yu, the female lead, really was.

“Shen Yu, you…” Wang Guihua could hardly believe it.

She knew very well how much Zhou Jingyi, the new daughter-in-law, and Yang Shi didn't get along, so she would never lie for Yang Shi.

"Xiaoyu, if you're being threatened by Yang, just blink. Your aunt will back you up."

Shen Yu blinked. "Does Auntie want me to lie? But with so many eyes watching, I can't lie. I'm sorry."

Wang Guihua: ...

Oh! It's fake, it's all fake!

Yang Fenglan: ...6.

She said she absolutely had to latch onto the female lead's coattails.

"Wang," the village chief spoke, "what else do you two have to say?"

“She’s lying!” Wang pointed at Shen Yu. “She’s lying. She was clearly there just now.”

"Enough!" the village chief snapped. "Who doesn't know that you, Madam Wang, are insatiably greedy? Do you really want me to reveal all the shameful things you've done?"

Wang:......

I'm already honest, please let me go.

She can't fight against so many people, but she can fight against Wang Guihua!

Wang's simple mind destined her to only throw tantrums and roll around on the ground when she argued. She got up from the ground and started punching and kicking Wang Guihua, yelling, "Say something! Say something! Say something! Are you just going to watch your old woman get bullied by outsiders?"

Wang Guihua: ...

She said, "Wasn't that a rebuttal?"

"What are you still standing there for!" Wang jumped up and slapped Wang Guihua on the back of the head.

Wang Guihua felt wronged.

With so many people watching, if this matter of searching the house today isn't resolved properly, her reputation will definitely be tarnished, and her son will certainly have a hard time finding a wife.

With a quick glance, a plan came to mind.

"What am I saying! It's all your fault!" Wang Guihua suddenly yelled at Wang Shi.

"?"

Wang rolled up her sleeves and jumped up, ready to hit someone again.

"Wait! Let me speak first!"

"Speak!" Wang gritted her teeth. If what you say doesn't satisfy me, I'll skin you alive!
