farmer's wife

Chapter 67 Resolved
Xiao Lie remained unmoved, avoided Cui Xinghua, and still wanted to go out.

Xiao Qiang pursed his lips and walked up, blocking Xiao Lie again.

He opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse: "Xiao Lie..."

When the matter was revealed, he didn't know how to plead for mercy.

People inside and outside the ancestral hall were all looking at their family, he was too ashamed to open his mouth, angrily grabbed Xiao Dabao who was on the ground, and dragged him to Xiao Lie's feet.

"You say! You thank and plead guilty."

Cui Xinghua also hurriedly motioned for her son to speak.

Xiao Dabao held back for a long time before humming: "I... I was wrong..."

Cui Xinghua excitedly said: "Ah Lie, you see Dabao has already admitted his mistake and apologized, is that okay?"

Fu Yan sneered and said, "I'll burn your house down, and I'll be done with an apology? If that's the case, the cost of doing bad things is too low. I don't think it's a waste of time. Brother Xiao Lie, you should report to the police immediately. Bar."

"Then what do you want?" Cui Xinghua asked anxiously.

The village chief didn't want to pay attention to this stupid and poisonous family, so he would cry, but if this matter really broke out, the reputation of the village would definitely be affected.

Everyone still has things to do at home, so I don't have time to waste time here.

"Ahem," Sun Changgeng cleared his throat upon receiving the signal from the clan elders sitting on the side, and called Xiao Lie who had already walked to the door, "Ah Lie, wait a moment."

He turned his head and asked Fu Yan kindly: "Ah Yan, you can ask for anything, and the village will help you decide."

Seeing Fu Yan's cold face, Sun Changgeng also felt that they were not kind, but the reputation of the village should not be easily ruined by this rotten family.

"Xiao Dabao's brain is not clear, but our village still has to be a man in these ten miles and eight villages. Except sending him to the government, you can do whatever you want him to do."

When the villagers heard this, they also nodded, but the whole pot of porridge couldn't be ruined because of this rat droppings.They are all good-natured peasants, and there are still unengaged sons and daughters in the family.If they are affected by the incident caused by Xiao Dabao, then they must tear this family apart!

"That's right, Xiao Lie's daughter-in-law, if you speak up, we will help you decide!" the villagers shouted.

The crowd was excited, as if they were going to tear Xiao Dabao alive.

Faced with the anger inside and outside, Cui Xinghua's family was finally afraid.

Fu Yan stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Lie, and sincerely said to the crowd inside and outside: "The brothers Xiao Lie have been doing all these years, and the folks have seen it all. They are not good at words, so I would like to thank you for their kindness The care of the brothers."

"Oh, they're all from the same village, so we can't talk about taking care of them, Xiao Lie's daughter-in-law, you don't have to be polite."

"That's right, that's right." Seeing Xiao Lie being so educated and reasonable, everyone felt that Xiao Dabao's family was odious.

Fu Yan: "As everyone said, we are all from the same village. After all, we hope that the village will recover and we can recover. It's just that Xiao Dabao set fire to it too much. If I hadn't been vigilant yesterday, I'm afraid that Ah Jian and I I will also die in Huangquan."

Thinking of yesterday's crisis, her eyes turned red with fear.Xiao Lie sensed her uneasiness, stretched out his arms to hug her and patted her shoulder.

Some angry villagers spoke for them:
"Losing money! The houses built by people's children have been burnt down like this. Lose money!"

"It's not enough to lose money. I said that the division of the family three years ago was unfair. The benefits were all taken by the big house and they didn't do anything. I see, those who lost money during the division of the family have to be given to Xiao Lie." Make it up."

"I heard that the government will punish this kind of person and put him in a cell, right?"

"Then let's fight too, and lock him up for a year or so!"

"Brother, what good things are you thinking? There is nothing to do in this ancestral hall, and you have to give him three meals a day. Is it punishment or laziness?!"

"Then... then forget it, just hit him with the board, double the hit!"

Everyone chattered about Xiao Dabao's punishment, Cui Xinghua opened her mouth to say something, but was glared back by the angry village head.

Their family has now become a unanimous scourge among the villagers. Cui Xinghua dared not provoke public anger any longer, and waited listlessly for the village chief's decision.

After Sun Changgeng and the clan elders discussed together, he said to Xiao Lie and Fu Yan: "Alie, Ayan, what do you think? You are the masters of suffering. For the sake of the reputation of our village, I have wronged you , but our village will not spare him lightly."

"Xiao Dabao burned the house, so he asked his family to compensate you 15 taels of silver and three acres of fertile land." Xiao Jian's house was built in a simple way back then, and it was only worth four or five taels.This is to take the opportunity to make up for Xiao Lie's family separation back then.

"Arsonists in the city will be punished with [-] slaps, we will hit him [-] slaps. As for the detention, let it go, and fine his family to plant two years of land for you instead. What do you think?"

The punishment was even heavier than what Fu Yan and the others expected.

When Xiao Dabao heard the punishment measures, he was sluggish on the ground.

Not only want to beat people, but also pay for Tian, ​​isn't this cutting the hearts of Cui Xinghua and the others!
This large sum of money is more than half of their family's property, and it simply killed her.

Cui Xinghua was panicked and impatient, completely disregarding face, kowtowed to the clan elders and Xiao Lie on the ground, crying bitterly: "Please, we know we were wrong, so we don't dare anymore, how can we have so much money at home?" , I can't pass the day!"

Xiao Lie avoided her slightly, he didn't want to kowtow and he didn't bother to accept it, as long as Xiao Dabao got the punishment he deserved.

Seeing that Cui Xinghua was still feeling sorry for Qian, Sun Changgeng said angrily: "This is why we begged Xiao Lie not to send him to the government to preserve the reputation of the village. If you still don't appreciate it, then we can only expel your family from this village and go to the government. Go and intercede with Master Qingtian!"

Hearing that they were going to be expelled from the village, Xiao Qiang, Cui Xinghua and Xiao Dabao completely dared not speak up.

They have been born and raised here all their lives, if they are disgracefully driven out of the village, the world is so big, where can they go?

Xiao Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "We all accept it."

Fu Yan said again: "Thank you for your troubles, the village chiefs. Apart from these, I only ask for a little more. I want Xiao Dabao to write a letter of repentance. Their family must be in front of the whole village, for the sake of what happened in the past and now. He apologized to us for everything, and promised not to appear in front of our family and disturb us in the future."

Fu Yan sighed: "To tell you the truth, we are really terrified by them, and we dare not contact them anymore. For this reason, the three acres of fertile land that the Xiao family compensated was sent to the clan, and Xiao Dabao was asked to do it for the clan. Live for two years."

Borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha completely attracted the whole village to their side, and there were also people who supervised Xiao Dabao's work so that he could not be lazy, lest Cui Xinghua be entangled again.This deal is worth it!
