Then, instead of following the women, he quickly ran home in a panic. He hurriedly packed a few clothes and took some silver from his mother, saying that he was going to see his youngest son. Then, he ran to the village entrance.

However, he never expected that there would be people guarding the village entrance. The moment they saw Lin Daniu, they grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the village chief’s house without a word.

Although Lin Daniu was tall and fat, to Jiang Zhennan, Lin Daniu was nothing to carry.

Lin Daniu, who was carrying a bag, flapped his four limbs in the air, looking like a four-legged tortoise. “Let me go, Nan Zhenjiang, let me go, what are you holding me for …” Lin Daniu shouted all the way until Jiang Zhennan carried him into the village chief’s courtyard and threw him to the ground.

Lin Daniu got up from the ground and shouted.

Melodious laughter rang out from behind Lin Daniu.

Lin Daniu turned around and saw that the person who laughed was Lin Yuelan. Lin Daniu’s face darkened, and he scolded Lin Yuelan, “damn jinx, what are you laughing at?”

Lin Yuelan looked at Lin Daniu with a mocking expression and asked, “Uncle Daniu, we didn’t say anything. We didn’t even claim that you had anything to do with Uncle Mingqing’s accident. So why would you assume that?”

The courtyard fell silent again. Even the people who were watching the commotion outside suddenly became quiet.

In the midst of the silence, Lin Daniu and Lin Laosan’s expressions changed drastically. There was shock, doubt, panic, anxiety, and worry, but most of all, fear and uneasiness.

This series of changes in expression could be seen by anyone with eyes.

“Bastard!” An angry roar rang out, and Lin Mingliang immediately threw a punch at Lin Daniu.

Lin Daniu was knocked to the ground.

Lin Daniu cried in pain as he fell to the ground.

There was another scream from the women at the door.

“What are you doing?” Li Cuihua and Li Hehua, Lin Daniu’s wife, shouted from the entrance of the courtyard.

The two of them rushed in and helped Lin Daniu up.

Li Cuihua’s heart ached when she saw her eldest son’s face turn as pale as snow. She immediately shouted, “The village chief is bullying us. He’s using his power to bully us. Everyone, please be the judge. He hit my son in broad daylight. Where’s the justice in this world…”

Li Cuihua was unreasonable and a troublemaker.

Lin Mingliang’s impulsive nature almost jumped up again. He raised his hand and walked towards Li Cuihua.

Jiang Zhennan immediately grabbed Lin Mingliang’s hand and advised him, “Don’t be impulsive!”

Lin Mingliang could raise his fist and swing it at Lin Daniu, and no one else could say anything. First, Lin Daniu and Lin Mingliang were of the same generation and were about the same age. Second, Lin Daniu had something to do with Lin Mingqing’s accident, so it was understandable that Lin Mingliang hit Lin Daniu in his anger.

However, Lin Mingliang couldn’t attack Li Cuihua.

Li Cuihua was Lin Mingliang’s senior. Secondly, Li Cuihua was an old woman. If she were injured even just a little, it would cause a lot of commotion.

Lin Mingliang put down his hand angrily. Lin Yiwei secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Yiwei’s wife, Zhou Qiuju, could do what Lin Mingliang couldn’t.

Li Cuihua was a shrew. Zhou Qiuju just needed to be even more unreasonable than her.

Zhou Qiuju stood up with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Li Cuihua. She yelled at Li Cuihua in anger, “Li Cuihua, do you still have any shame? You’ve clearly done something wrong and harmed my Qing ‘Er, and you have the face to say that my family is bullying you? I have been married here for more than forty years, and I haven’t used my station as the chief’s wife to demand anyone to do anything. But today, I shall use that power. Li Cuihua, answer me. Three years ago, was it your family who dug a big hole on the way to town?”
