Chapter 66: The Might of the Village Chief

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Li looked at Wang Chunhua’s smug expression and snorted softly. Then, she took out a bowl piece from her pocket and said, “This is my family’s bowl piece. Someone saw you throw it into the river with their own eyes.”

Wang Chunhua said disdainfully, “What nonsense are you talking about? This fragment is clearly my family’s bowl. I accidentally broke it just now. I threw it into the river because I was annoyed.”

“You’re slandering me with this fragment now. Do you think we’re all fools?”

The number of onlookers gradually increased. When everyone heard that the village chief had brought Su Li and the other two to the He family, their gossipy hearts soared.

The people who were originally eating carried their bowls and went to the He family to join in the fun.

“Hey, tell me what’s going on. Why did the village chief bring Mother of Dahu and the others over?”

“That’s right. What’s going on? I didn’t have time as I was busy cooking at home just now. What happened in the village?”

A warm-hearted woman at the side said, “Aiyo, let me tell you what happened. Wang Chunhua went over and smashed He Yufeng’s pots and pans because her son was paralyzed on the bed. In the end, she even kicked the stove in his house until it was broken.”

“It’s so exaggerated. Why?” The people at the side were puzzled.

The woman pursed her lips and said, “What else could it be? He Yufeng might have become a cripple after being injured from hunting. Wang Chunhua felt that she wouldn’t be able to get her retirement money in the future, so she went over and threw a fit!”

“No way! Is He Yufeng their biological son? Even if they can’t afford to pay, they can’t smash their things!”

“That’s right. The village chief is asking her to compensate now, but she doesn’t seem very willing!”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Wang Chunhua put her hands on her hips and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t do those things at all.”

Zhou Yu tugged at Su Li’s sleeve. “Look at how arrogant she is. If you have a witness, quickly take it out.”

Wang Chunhua’s arrogant appearance made people grit their teeth in hatred. They wished they could slap her face so hard she would fly away!

Su Li gave Zhou Yu a reassuring look. She looked at Wang Chunhua and said, “Not everything you say makes sense. This bowl is indeed mine because I was afraid that someone would secretly take it away. I even specially engraved the word ‘Su’ on it.”

Wang Chunhua’s voice was sharp. “If you say it’s yours, then it’s yours? You said that the words you carved are yours. Call it and see if it responds to you.” Chen Xiang stood up and said, “This bowl is indeed hers. I’ve seen it before.”

Su Li looked at Chen Xiang in surprise. Chen Xiang did not like to join in the fun. Usually, if anything happened in the village, she would stay far away. She did not expect her to stand up for her.

Chen Xiang smiled at Su Li. She had also heard that Su Li’s things had been smashed. After some thought, she decided to come over and take a look. She didn’t expect to be able to help Su Li.

Moreover, she wasn’t lying. This fragment was indeed identical to the bowl that Su Li had given her previously.

Wang Chunhua never expected that her broken bowl would coincidentally look the same as Su Li’s bowl.

Wang Chunhua spat at Chen Xiang. “This bowl clearly belongs to my family. You picked up the fragments I threw and came back to spout nonsense. Let me tell you, you’ll be struck by lightning for slandering others.”

Chen Xiang straightened her back. “I’m just telling the truth. This bowl was newly bought by Su Li. She even used this bowl to store things for me, so I won’t remember wrongly.”

Wang Chunhua and Chen Xiang each had their own opinions. The surrounding villagers did not know who to believe.

Su Li swept her gaze across the crowd. When she saw Old Zhao standing on his toes and looking in, she smiled.

Old Zhao saw Su Li’s gaze, especially her half-smile. He was inexplicably afraid.
