Chapter 22 Chapter 22
Li Guodong noticed the village chief's tone and felt resentful towards Shen Shuangshuang again.

"Uncle, neither you nor I were present at the commotion before the Li family split up."

"Now the third aunt, my mother, and the third brother and sister are all insisting on their own opinions, but no one can find a witness."

"What happened that day, in my opinion, it is not appropriate to make any hasty judgments."

The village chief looked at Li Guodong. Although he was unhappy, he nodded.

Li Guodong's eyes flashed and he continued: "Similarly, both sides have different opinions on what they did when they went to the home of the third brother and sister today."

"My mother and the others said they were going to see my fourth aunt. But my third brother and sister said they were going to grab something."

"There is no witness to this matter."

Shen Shuangshuang's expression changed.

"Hmph! Are my eldest cousin trying to excuse Nai and the others? Just because Nai gave you the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he took from my house?!" said sarcastically.

Her predecessor was afraid of Li Guodong, but she was not.

She likes tearing apart hypocrites with her hands the best.

When the villagers heard this, they started talking.

When Li Guodong saw this, a hint of evil flashed in his eyes.

"Third brother and sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense."

"That's it, you bitch! What kind of shit are you spraying from your mouth to slander our country?!" Ms. Zhang suddenly spoke.

She could not bear to see her son being wronged, and she knew what fame meant to her son.

This stupid bitch poured dirty water on her son. He deserved it!
Li Guodong frowned when he heard Zhang's words.

He looked over with a warning look, which made Mrs. Zhang shut her mouth.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw this, he smiled contemptuously.

"Isn't it slanderous? Can't we find out if we go to your second room now?" he said.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her expression changed drastically.

"What are you looking at? If I say no, there won't be!" he yelled.

This look of being a thief with a guilty conscience and not bringing it upon himself made Li Guodong want to scold him.

That's right, call him his own mother!
Really not enough success, more than failure!

Shen Shuangshuang was happy to see it.

"And my medicine hoe and sickle must be in your kitchen now." He continued.

Qian's expression changed drastically.

Subconsciously, his body moved towards the kitchen, trying to block Shen Shuangshuang's view.

When the villagers saw this, they still couldn't figure out what was going on?

They all accused the Li family.

Li Guodong lowered his head, his eyes frighteningly gloomy.

After a moment, he actually raised his head and turned to look at Zhao and others.

"Mistress, third aunt, you actually did such a thing?!" She looked distressed.

Zhao's expression froze.

I wanted to refute now.

But Li Guodong stopped him with his eyes.

At this time, Zhang also reacted.

He walked up to Mrs. Zhao and tugged at the hem of her clothes several times.

"Guodong, this matter... is not what you think. Your grandma and the third aunt and the others -" Mrs. Zhang looked like she was speaking for Mrs. Zhao and others, and it seemed like she was acting like that.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled contemptuously.

He turned around and bowed to the village chief.

"Uncle, the situation is very clear now. Please ask my uncle to make the decision for our family."

"Otherwise, both of them have no other choice but to go to the Yamen to complain."

She didn't have time to watch this family act.

The village chief's expression changed.Just as he was about to speak, Li Guodong's voice sounded.

"We are all a family. Even if Nai and the third aunt went too far this time, the third brother and sister can't be so cruel and go to the Yamen to file a complaint."

"Besides, our court's laws also stipulate that juniors cannot sue their elders."

"If the third brother and sister really go to the Yamen, I'm afraid you will be the first to be punished. It is a serious crime of unfilial piety."

Shen Shuang narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that the previous fear on the faces of Mrs. Zhao and others was gone, they started to sneer, and wanted to curse in their hearts.

"My eldest cousin is really good at reading. He is so proficient in the law, and he is specially used to deal with weak women and children like us." Shen Shuangshuang said sarcastically.

This sentence made Li Guodong change his face.

Why has this woman changed so much?Every word you speak is heart-breaking.

"The third brother and sister misunderstood, I am not -" Li Guodong quickly explained.

But was interrupted by Shen Shuangshuang.

"Eldest cousin, there is no need to explain. You know exactly what you are thinking."

"Besides, what I want to tell my eldest cousin is that I can't sue them. But my mother can."

Everyone was puzzled.

Shen Shuangshuang's face was full of resentment, and he continued: "My eldest cousin doesn't know yet. This morning I went to town with my uncle to divide our family's household registration. Now the head of our family is my mother."

"My eldest cousin is familiar with the laws of this dynasty. He knows that if a daughter-in-law separates and establishes a female household, she has nothing to do with her husband's family."

"You, the Li family, broke into my Shen family's house without permission and robbed property. If we go to the county magistrate, it will only be you, the Li family, who will be imprisoned."

Zhao and others, who were originally sullen and felt that Shen Shuangshuang could do nothing to them, changed their expressions.

"Dalang——" Mrs. Zhao even grabbed Li Guodong's sleeve.

She is already old and is going to be imprisoned. Will she still have a living?

I heard that when the county master goes to court, he may be severely punished. How can she bear it?

Qian also looked at Li Guodong nervously, as if he was ready to tell the truth and drag the second wife into trouble at any time.

It's already this time, why should she continue to be supported by the second wife?
The second wife is the mastermind, she was dragged into the water!

Li Guodong also felt a flash of panic in his heart, but he didn't expect that Shen Shuangshuang came prepared.

"Three younger siblings, we are all one family, do we have to do something so extreme?" he asked.

The villagers started talking again.

In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized. Although the Li family was wrong, the Li Sanlang family had to go to the Yamen to complain and have their elders jailed. They were too vengeful...

Noticing the reaction of the villagers, Shen Shuangshuang was not in a hurry.

Instead, he looked at Li Guodong.

"A family? Just now, when my eldest cousin threatened me to report to the police and let me be punished first, did he treat us as a family?"

"Back then, my father-in-law was tricked by you into serving in the military on behalf of your second uncle. Did you consider us family members?"

"It's not enough for you to plot against my father-in-law. You also plotted against my husband-in-law and sent him to the battlefield. Do you think we are family members?!"

The faces of the villagers changed, and their discussions became quieter.

"Also, my mother collected medicine for more than [-] years, and lost all the money she earned. She gave it to you to go to college. The pension money from my father-in-law's death in battle was also spent on you."

"But my eldest cousin came to accuse me of not treating you as family."

"Eldest cousin, do you consider us family?"

Shen Shuangshuang's words were sharp and bloody.

Hearing this, Li Guodong panicked.

Feeling that everyone in the village was looking at him with strange eyes, Li Guodong even had the urge to escape.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled proudly in his heart.

"However, it doesn't matter anymore. For the sake of my husband-in-law and Ling'er, our Shen family is not prepared to do everything possible." Shen Shuangshuang said with a sigh.

"As long as you agree, you will return the things that were taken from our house. Then we will compensate our family five taels of silver, and I will sign a note in front of my uncle, promising not to make trouble in our house again. This matter will be over."

"Otherwise - no wonder our Shen family is so unkind." At this point, Shen Shuangshuang's tone became cold.
