71 Five Good Families
Chen Guihua was afraid of working in the fields. She was slow, and standing in the paddy field to transplant seedlings was hot and tiring. It made her back sore. She would not go. She would rather die than go.
After making up her mind, Chen Guihua ignored the disdainful looks of the people around her and closed her eyes and howled, “Ah ah ah… you’ve all been tricked by Su Wen, she’s full of evil tricks, you can’t be fooled.”
“Don’t say anymore.” Li Youcai could not stand it anymore and scolded her.
“She’s an opportunist, but you guys don’t see it. Village chief, you can’t be unfair.” Chen Guihua took advantage of the situation and said, “If you don’t believe me, check her basket. If there’s nothing inside, why is she covering it with something?”
The basket that Su Wen was carrying was indeed covered with a layer of cloth, and everyone’s gazes were off when they saw it.
“Su Wen, what’s in your basket? Open it and let us take a look,” Li Youcai asked with a dark face.
Since things had already reached this point, Su Wen did not want to waste time with Chen Guihua. She simply lifted the top layer of cloth, revealing the green shepherd’s purse and kalimeris indica.
“Below, she must have hidden it below.” Chen Guihua screamed in disbelief.
Su Wen’s hands trembled as she poured the wild vegetables out of the basket. There was nothing in it.
This time, everyone’s face turned looking bad, especially Li Youcai. He was so embarrassed that he glared at Chen Guihua and scolded her, “Shrew, you’re splashing dirty water on your own family. Where is Su Xueqiang? Are you still a man? How do you manage your wife?”
In fact, Su Xueqiang had heard of it long ago, but he had learned a trick from Su Xuewu. No matter how much his wife pestered someone in the village, he would not appear. Even if it was embarrassing, it had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he let Chen Guihua cause more trouble so that he could gain some benefits.
Now that he had watched Chen Guihua make a big deal out of it and the village chief had spoken, he could only come out slowly. The surrounding villagers burst into laughter.
Su Xueqiang looked at Su Wen with a gloomy expression. He was secretly surprised in his heart. He had really underestimated this niece in the past.
“Su Xueqiang, look at how you manage your wife. She’s simply harboring evil intentions, she has completely ruined the atmosphere of the Trinity Village.” No one dared to say anything when Li Youcai scolded them. After all, he was the village chief, and his prestige in the village had always been high.
Moreover, Li Youcai was very good at scolding people. In Su Wen’s words, it was like putting a hat on someone and making them not dare to say a word.
In the end, Li Youcai swept his gaze over the people around him and said, “Although I’m the village chief, in the Trinity Village the last names Li, Xu, and Sun are the big surnames in the village. There are also many people in your Su family. I’ve never wanted to meddle in your internal affairs, so you can do whatever you want. However, Su Wen and her sisters parents are all dead, and you uncles and grandparents are not only not taking care of them, but also calculating their assets. It’s not right for me to not care about it.”
“Village chief, no, we… there was also a man with the surname Su among the onlookers. He was a man in his thirties. He was the cousin of the same grandfather as Su Xuewen and the others.
He was called Su Xueyong.
Su Xueyong heard the village chief’s words and knew that he was going to be in trouble. He hurriedly tried to explain, but Li Youcai raised his hand to stop him.
“Wait for me to finish.”
Su Xueyong could only endure it and turned to look at Chen Guihua and Su Xueqiang in disgust.
“Now, in front of everyone, I’m going to disqualify all the Su families in the Trinity Village from being selected as one of the five good families in the county.”
