"What?" Old Madam Pei was shocked as she looked at the Village head and shook her head. " No way, there is no way, you must be lying to save that witch, my son would have done nothing wrong, especially groping someone's else daughter, he had a wife why will he go after another woman huh?" But when she said that, Old madam Pei was feeling a little bit guilty, her son was exactly like that hooligan, he didn't even care about this old mother of his so why will he care about his wife? He didn't even like his wife and often complain to Old madam Pei that she married him to a slug with such an average face that he couldn't even sleep with her in the same room.
So, the chances of him doing something like groping the daughter of an official was very high.
Village head Luo caught hold of her guilty expression and sneered, " You think that you are the only one smart huh, Old madam Pei? Are you trying to pull the same stunt as what Feng Zihang pulled? If you don't believe me then go and see, the official and his daughter both are standing in front of your house, with the Yamen officers waiting for you and your daughter in law, I bet they want you two to apologise in your son stead. Go and see if I am lying or not the Yamen officers and the young lady who was offended by the actions of your son, and after seeing them go ahead and say that I conjured up the daughter, the official and the Yamen officers like a Genie of the Lamp."
Old madam Pei could feel her face go tight as all the villagers turned to look at her when Village head Luo sarcastically scolded her in front of everyone. When her son stopped breathing, actually she wasn't sad at all, she has a hard working daughter in law and her grandson has very good prospects as well the only reason she came here and tried to trouble Su Wan and her husbands was that she wanted to get a little compensation, who cared whether or nor Su Wan was a witch? As long as she brainwashed the villagers and said that Su Wan was the one who caused the death of her son, they will definitely believe her in the current situation. That was why she led the villagers around with their noses and brought them to the Lin house expecting to get a little compensation but before she could even call the Lin family out someone from the crowd picked up a stone and threw it at the Lin family courtyard, who knew that the matter would escalate to this point?
She just wanted some momentary benefits and a permanent job for her daughter in law, so that they could live the rest of their lives comfortably who would have known that something like this would happen?
Now, she was questioned by the Village head in front of the entire village and Old madam Pei couldn't help but scold her useless son, even in the grave he was of no use to her, even with his death he ruined everything for her and her grandson, idiot!
Old madam Pei smiled awkwardly at the Village head and said, " No..No, of course not Village head Luo, how dare I say such a thing to you? I will go and see what happened don't worry, I will not cause any embarrassment to the village."
With that she tried to get away from her humiliation as soon as she could but how could Village head Luo let her go like that? She not only embarrassed and caused the Lin family to get hurt but she also questioned him and even said that he was biased, so he will show his biasness to the very end now.
" Stop, where are you going?" He said as he stepped in front of Old madam Pei, her daughter and grandson. " Did I say that you can go just like that? Who is going to apologise if you leave like that?"
" Apologise? To whom?" Old madam Pei acted as if she couldn't understand what the Village head was saying, the entire village already thought Su Wan was a witch, so what if her husbands got a little hurt? Their reputation was already at the bottom of the food chain. What was the point of apologising to them? Wouldn't it mean that she and her family were in a worse situation than them? " Village head Luo let us go, we cannot make the official and his daughter wait, let me go and solve that trouble first then I will come here and solve this trouble as well."
But the village head was even more stubborn, he has long understood that his villagers did not understand the language of love, not until he gave them a few tight slaps first. So, he stubbornly refused to step away from the front and crossed his arms on his chest before saying, " You don't have to worry about that, I have told them what kind of character you and your family are, and what you were doing till now, they will wait. Don't worry, it's the matter of their daughter's pride, they won't budge an inch until they get what they want, don't worry."
Old madam Pei knew that she was stuck, so she looked at the Village head Luo and said in a low voice, " Village head Luo is this really necessary?"
" Huh? What was that? Speak louder just like when you were blaming me for being biased and whatnot," Village head Luo left no chance for the family of Old Pei to get past the hurdle they have created themselves. It wasn't that he didn't ask them not to do something that they will regret later on, after all, they all lived in the same village and creating a feud like this was simply stupidity at its maximum. So, of course, stupidity has its consequences and they have to pay for it now.
