Su Wan and the Lin brothers were so surprised by the action of Madam Huo that they all simultaneously turned to Shen Zizhen who albeit very proudly said, " Your aunt has been bottling anger ever since the villagers started to call you witch, she is a very laid back person and would never fight with anyone but if she bottles things up for long, there are chances that she might snap…. That's her snapping because of all the anger she has been storing in her heart."
" Ohh?" Su Wan was surprised to hear but then she was even more shocked to see Madam Huo slapping Feng Zihang with such a fierce slapping motion that she could no longer even see the hand of her second aunt all she could see was that Feng Zihang's face was slowly turning into a pig.f𝐫e𝘦𝘸e𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵe𝗹． c𝑜m
" What are you doing? What are you doing?" Old madam Shen never thought that someone would actually jump on her son like this, startled she tried to interfere but then she was stopped by a polished cane as Old madam Shen appeared out of nowhere and blocked her path.
" Are you going to stop my daughter-in-law, my dear?" said Old madam Shen with a smile. " But before stopping her you have to get past me." And with that, she brought her cane down at Old madam Feng heavily.
Everything was happening in front of Village head Luo but he remained silent because he understood that the Lin and the Shen family also had a lot of anger that they have been restraining so he didn't try to stop Madam Huo and Old madam Shen but after a few hits, he started to pry the two off politely. " Madam Huo, Old madam Shen please give us a moment… we still need to find out who was the one who gave Feng Zihang so much money."
Only then did the two women stop and let the mother and son pair go.
" All right ask them," said Old madam Shen as she knocked her cane on the ground. " But let me tell you village head Luo, he has to make up for all the sufferings my dear granddaughter had to go through just because this guy thinks through his ass rather than his brains, you got that?"
" I know don't worry, I will definitely make him pay for what he has done because his actions not only brought trouble to your family, he is also the reason why the entire village is in trouble and our reputation has taken yet another plunge." Village head Luo was also very upset with what Feng Zihang has done because of him, the entire atmosphere of the village was highly strung and no one was able to do anything about it.
And that wasn't even the worst because of his selfish actions the entire village's reputation just went down the drain, this was something that has never happened before. Sure enough, the older ones were right, one bad apple will turn the entire bucket of fruits bad.
Look at Feng Zihang because of his actions now the villagers from the other village were too scared to come to their village and even tried to stop the flow of the river that the two villages shared. It was a good thing that he noticed and complained to the higher-ups or else they would have been going through a lot of trouble at the moment.
There was no way that Feng Zihang will be able to escape this time, he wouldn't let him get away this time! No matter what!
" Feng Zihang, tell me who asked you to do something like this?" asked Village head Luo as he peered down at Feng Zihang who was sitting on the ground with his hands covering his badly bruised cheeks.
Feng Zihang looked up and sneered, " Do you think that I will just tell you about the mastermind if you ask me? There is no way I am going to say a single word. Do whatever you want, I am not worried about a thing."
Of course, he wasn't, though he did spread rumours about Su Wan, he didn't join in the bullying with the villagers so even though he was the culprit behind the entire scheme, he was still clear of the charges, and they couldn't send him to the prison, if they did try to do that then they will be the first one who will be rounded by the officers.
Village head Luo's face turned sour. "Firstly, you will pay the twelve hundred taels including an extra five hundred taels for all the harm you have done against the Lin family."
"What…why? I divorced that woman why do I have to pay for what she did?"Feng Zihang immediately retorted refusing to hand even a single tael to anyone much less twelve hundred taels.
Village head Luo ignored him as he continued, " And I will be kicking you out of the village as well, you and your mother please look for a new place to live."
This time both Old madam Shen and Feng Zihang scrambled to their feet as they shouted together.
" What do you mean by that?"
" How can you kick us without any rhyme and reason, is there no law?" Old madam Feng absolutely refused to leave the village. She has been living here ever since she was a young child, even before marrying the second son of the Feng family, she was a member of this village, there was no way she was going to leave! " On what account are you kicking us? What have we even done huh? What did we do?"
" Do you even have to ask? You should be asking what you haven't done. You ruined the reputation of both the village and a young lady, not once did you think what might happen to either of us! And now you are asking what wrong did you do? You should be asking whether or not you ever did anything right or not!"
When Village head Luo saw that Feng Zihang wanted to fight with him, he raised his hand and shook his head. " There is no point, this is my final decision ….I am afraid that I cannot keep a man like you in my village."
