Hearing this, all the villagers were stunned for a moment.
Could that be done too?
Even Village Chief Yan looked at Daya in shock, then at Zhang Shu. Although he had already heard about what had happened in the county from the villagers who had returned from the market, the villagers had not had the time to tell him about Daya’s intact virginity.
Village Chief Yan originally wanted to persuade them not to divorce, but once this matter was exposed, he also felt that they had to divorce.
He looked at Zhang Shu. Then, as if he had just realized that the latter was still tied up and gagged, he waved his hand and said to the villagers beside him, “Untie him.”
Only then did Zhang Shu regain his freedom. However, his body was covered in injuries and he was in great pain. He grimaced for a long time.
Village Chief Yan asked him, “Zhang Shu, what do you think?”
“I don’t want a divorce,” Zhang Shu raised his head. His face no longer had the simple, honest, and taciturn expression from before. Instead, it became gloomy.
“Even if you beat me to death, I won’t divorce.”
His appearance made Village Chief Yan’s heart skip a beat.
The old lady was so angry that her entire body was trembling, “Do you have to force my Daya to death? Your conscience has really been eaten by dogs.”
Shu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Shu. This piece of trash was just desperate. He knew that his sexual orientation had been exposed, so he simply wanted to drag Daya to die with him.
He was having a hard time, so he wanted Daya to stay in the darkness with him forever.
Zhang Shu’s completely unconcerned look made the others present not know what to do.
Lu Sanzhu subconsciously looked at Shu Yu, only to see the latter glance at Fan Zhong and then fall silent.
Fan Zhong quietly said to Village Chief Yan, “Brother Yan, let’s talk to the side.”
Village Chief Yan frowned at him and nodded. The two village chiefs went to the side to discuss in low voices.
Fan Zhong asked him, “What do you think?”
Village Chief Yan looked troubled, “It seems like Zhang Shu doesn’t care anymore. If he doesn’t agree to the divorce, we can’t do anything about it.”
Fan Zhong snorted coldly in his heart. As expected, this fellow wanted to smooth things over.
He touched his chin and thought of what Shu Yu had said to him earlier. Then, he sighed and said, “That’s how it goes, but Brother Yan, have you ever thought about it? Zhang Shu’s matter has now been made known throughout the county. If you don’t care about it and don’t even punish him, what will outsiders think of Dayan Village? What will they think of you, the village chief?
Village Chief Yan was speechless.
“If it were me, I would think that Dayan Village has rotted from the roots, which is why such a beast came into being. Would there be a second or third? Let me tell you, Brother Yan, I heard that Zhang Shu’s situation can easily lead the people around him astray.”
Village Chief Yan looked at him in shock.
Fan Zhong said earnestly, “I’m not trying to scare you. Think about it. Zhang Shu likes men, so he definitely wants other men to like him. Look at how scheming he is. He has been pretending for so many years. Who knows how many people he has led astray in the dark? I heard that the man who was caught with him was dragged into it by him as well. Now that this matter has happened, if you don’t deal with it strictly, there might be others who will follow suit in the future.”
“If there’s a second case in your village, just you wait. No girl would dare to marry into your village. After all, even if she marries into your village, she’ll have to worry about whether the other party is a beast or not. If she finds out that the other party is a beast, she can only seek death because you don’t care at all. You even condone Zhang Shu, the culprit. In a few years, your Dayan Village will become a village of bachelors because of one person..”
