Finally, the Village Chief spoke. His deep and slightly aged voice was filled with a deep displeasure. He hated when a bunch of people would jump out when he had yet to figure out what was going on. He frowned and said,

"Okay, what are you arguing about? "Brawler, tell me, what is it?"

The moment the Village Head opened her mouth, Qi Mu felt that it had become much quieter.

In her impression, the original owner was originally somewhat afraid of this fierce-looking old man. However, when she carefully thought about it, she felt that everything that the Village Chief Niu Zhuang had done could always be considered to be fairly and clearly done, and that it would truly convince her.

The villagers were scared and respectful at the same time. Therefore, even though the mountains and the rivers created trouble for the people, the atmosphere of the Niu Manor was still considered to be very good compared to the other villages.

However, the three words "little brawny guy" somehow hit a chord. Although when the village chief was the village head a long time ago, her cheap father was just a little kid with no butt, so it wasn't wrong to call the village head that way. However, it was an inexplicable feeling of joy.

"I …"

Ye Dazhuang saw the village head ask him a question. He looked up at the village head with an embarrassed smile, but he couldn't say anything.

What was he supposed to say? He couldn't say it out loud!

At this moment, Qi Mu faintly smiled. Her voice was somewhat hoarse from crying as she spoke in a calm yet respectful tone:

"Village Chief Niu, can you allow me to speak up for my father? I've been at home, and there are some things I know better than my dad. "

"Right."

Ox-Head saw that Ye Dazhuang couldn't say anything, so he agreed.

Seeing this, Qi Mu carefully placed Yang Lili on the haystack of the pigsty. Then, he slowly stood up and walked out of the pigsty. He blessed the village chief's side, letting all the pain in his body flow in, and said:

Village Head, you know my family is in trouble. We often lose food, and it was only with the help of the villagers that we barely made it through. However, yesterday, my family …

Qi Mo wanted to say something but hesitated. He bit his lips and sighed again. He looked down with worry.

As he looked at Qi Mu, his gaze softened a little. He knew a little about the Ye Clan's 2nd house's life. The Ye Clan could be considered as one of the best families in the Niu Village, but this 2nd house …

As for the others in the cattle village, they held their breaths and listened, afraid that they would miss anything interesting. The days in the cattle village were short, and a small matter like sesame seeds could be used for gossip for a long time.

Lady Li's face darkened and the corners of her mouth drooped down. She was very unhappy about her granddaughter's public appearance. Due to being in front of the Village Chief, she was not in a good mood.

Zhang Chunji's hands came from the village chief and tightly gripped the handkerchief. His small eyes darted around uneasily, and he could see the anxiety and worry on his face.

Li Zhiqing was still respectfully supporting Madame Li. Her skin was fair and her clothes were clean. Her calm face was as serene as a wild flower in the mountains. Amongst the group of women from Niu Manor, she was quite extraordinary.

Qi Mu swept his gaze across the crowd without leaving a trace before he choked with sobs and said:

I can't find food in my home, so I had to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables so that my father, mother, and brother wouldn't starve. I didn't expect to accidentally fall down on the mountain.

For one thing, she didn't want others to know that she had broken her path of making a fortune from the Blue Twilight Zone. Even though she was too poor to eat, she still had to take care of herself first; she didn't have the spirit of a living Bodhisattva that was willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of others.

Secondly, last night he had requested for Doctor Fang to go out quietly and never had any relationship with that family. Even if the people from Niu Manor knew about this, they could only say that she was not in a good condition and had suddenly fainted, causing her parents to be frightened to the point of asking for a doctor. They did not know about the wounds on her body and the unknown ones, and had only just gotten in when they gave her an excellent opportunity to use them to kill.

"Maybe it's because I was too tired yesterday and my face was scratched by a tree branch, so I fainted when I returned home. Father and Mother left the main house at night because of me. They wanted some money to invite a doctor for me …"

They were close to the Ye Family, so when they heard the commotion last night, it was quite noisy, especially when she heard Zhang Chunji's terrifying and hoarse voice. They wanted to let everyone in the village know what she was talking about, that the Ye Family's second house was not living a simple life, the two adults were diligent and would do anything, but the family did not have any good days, so everyone showed sympathy on their faces.

"Grandma and aunties were kind enough to send for a doctor, but when I woke up this morning, I didn't know what had happened, but Mom was crying by the bedside. Seeing that I had woken up, she went to get me some food, so she told me that she had to go to the main house to help out, so she left. But Mom usually works in the fields with Dad, and the main house is under the care of Auntie and Third Aunt.

Seeing Qi Mu say that Lady Li and the Ye family's two wives were kind, the Wang family's aunt sneered and glanced at them. She still didn't know what kind of trash those two were.

"It was noon when dad, mom, and brother didn't come back. I was anxious so I went to the main house to look for them, but my grandma and aunty were having dinner. They all said they didn't know and I was alone. I searched for a long time before I found out …"

Qi Mu spoke clearly before kneeling on the ground and repeatedly kowtowing to the cow. In an instant, tears covered his face as he said in a miserable voice:

"Village Head, please save my mother, please save us, my mother is in the pigsty …"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. A few of them ran to the pigsty quickly. When they saw Yang Lili, they shouted:

"It's really here, it's really here …"

"What do you mean by throwing people here …" "Which heartless person made this …"

"Who hit him? Look, that face …"

"Why is the Ye Family like this …"

For a time, no one bothered with the stench of the pigsty. They all surrounded him, and even Ye Dazhuang, who looked like a rotten tree, moved two steps. His heart was filled with grief, and only the group of Li Clan members remained unmoved.

Ox-Head looked at Yang Lili with a straight face and glared at Ye Dazhuang. He said angrily, "

"Move him out first. It is not a good thing to be lying down like this. Ye Dazhuang, you carry your wife."

Ye Dazhuang was a bit stunned as he followed the instructions given by the cow. He carried the pig out of the pigsty and was about to go inside, but Qi Mu stopped him with tears in his eyes and said sadly,

"Father, mother just fainted in the pigsty. What about in the future? For such a long time, what's wrong with it? When will this kind of life end? "

"Mu lass, do you still have any rules?!"

Madame Li finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and urgently ordered Qi Mu.

Qi Mu remained unmoved. He used the hairpin he had hidden away to stab himself a few times, and blood started to slowly ooze out from his tattered clothes. It was shocking. His misty eyes stared straight at Ye Dazhuang as he said:

"Dad, give us a chance to live. Since we're separated, let's live by ourselves!" No matter what, our family can still be together properly! "

"Mu Er, you can't …"

Ye Dazhuang looked at his daughter's red face as he cried. He could not bear to do so, but after so many years of begging, he still refused.

At this moment, Aunt Wang saw the blood stain on Qi Mu's arm with her sharp eyes. Without hesitation, she walked forward and grabbed Qi Mu's arm and said:

"Ye Dazhuang, look at your daughter. What kind of wife is she!"

Ye Dazhuang saw the wound on Qi Mu's arm and asked,

"What's the matter? "Mu Er?"

Qi Mu only shook her head and shot a glance at Madame Li. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. Aunt Wang saw Qi Mu's actions clearly and said mockingly:

"I've heard of it before, but I've also never heard of it. Village Head, when did our village become like this?"

Ox-Head's sharp eyes instantly swept over Madame Li. When Madame Li heard this, she panicked and said:

"When have I ever worked hard for others? I've been married to an ox for dozens of years, and I swear to the heavens, I've never done such a thing!"

"If you said you didn't do it, then you didn't. Last night, you invited a doctor for Mu Lü. I heard it clearly from next door. How did you guys do it?" Don't you have a heart count? Today, you knocked your own wife out and threw her into the pigsty. What are you going to do tomorrow?! "

As the Wang family's Aunt said this in quick succession, she even pulled on Qi Mu's sleeve. The wounds on her arm caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise, and they looked at Madame Li with a gaze of disgust and loathing.

Madame Li was speechless and her body trembled in anger. She looked at Zhang Chunji and said in exasperation:

"Who did it? Speak!"

She actually knew a bit about Zhang Chunji's attitude towards the second branch, but she didn't expect it to be this serious and had even caused a ruckus in front of everyone.
