“What are you doing? No one should disturb Zhao Chuchu. If my husband passes away, I am going to get even with you.”

“You people are responsible for putting my father in this situation. Where were you when we were kicked out of the household? We don’t need any of your kindness right now. None of you shall take a step forward.”

After witnessing the mother and daughter’s hysterical demeanor, the others didn’t dare to move an inch.

“Guitang’s household, what is the meaning of this? Zhao Chuchu is hurting your husband. As his wife, should you let her do as she likes?” the Chief chided with a stern look.

!!

Madam He sneered, “When my husband was kicked out of the household after getting his legs broken, what did you do? As an elder in the clan, why didn’t you come forward to help us? So, let me tell all of you now! I was the one who begged Chuchu to do this! If my husband’s legs couldn’t be fixed, then it couldn’t be helped! He got what he deserved!”

“Y-you… you’re really ignorant! Get out of my way!” the Chief bellowed.

After listening to the exchange, Niu Tongsheng finally realized that Zhao Guitang and the others had asked Zhao Chuchu to fix his legs of their own accord. Then, he remarked gently, “Now that they’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, won’t it be inappropriate to insist on claiming that Chuchu is hurting him, Third Uncle?”

The Chief’s expression immediately turned gloomy and he retorted, “Are you trying to cover for Zhao Chuchu?”

Niu Tongsheng responded, “Third Uncle, your clan members know what they did. If you are hell-bent on seeking justice, I’m afraid you’ll find yourselves in trouble.”

“Niu Tongsheng, most people here in Lengshui Village are the Zhao clan members. If you don’t want to lose your position as the Chief, you’d better plan your next step prudently.”

“I’ve always known the Zhaos to be a bunch of unreasonable people. To think that you would stoop so low as to twist the truth. Third Granduncle, feel free to stand up for those people! But I’m not sure if you could handle the consequences of your actions at this age!” Zhao Chuchu’s voice could be heard from the inside of the house.

“I bet they didn’t tell you that they’ve signed the confessions. Apart from me, the village chief and the magistrate’s nephew, Mr. Qiao, have a copy each. If you dare to step into this house today, we shall see each other at the governing bureau later!

“I would like to see the consequences you will suffer as a clan head who covered for the burglars. You’re not young anymore. You should enjoy your retirement life in peace. It isn’t worth destroying your precious twilight years for these black sheep.”

The face of the clan head darkened upon hearing that.

“Zhao Chuchu, what did you just say?”

“Oh, you still don’t get it? That means I can put those burglars behind bars in the county’s prison! Third Granduncle, I’m in a foul mood right now! I can’t guarantee what will happen if you don’t restrain yourself!”

“Why, you little…”

“You of the Zhaos are the ones who made things difficult for me first! Don’t put the cart before the horse!”

The clan head was fuming, but no words came out of his mouth.

“Hand the confessions over!” he demanded a few moments later while gritting his teeth.

“What’s the point of it? Try retrieving the copies from the village chief and Mr. Qiao, too, if you can! Third Granduncle, you’re a sensible person. Are you willing to destroy the future of your descendants for these no-goods?”

Right then, the door of the house was opened.

Beads of sweat could be seen on Zhao Chuchu’s forehead as she walked out.

After scanning her surrounding, she scoffed, “So, what now? You wanna beat me to death?”

The clan head scowled at Zhao Chuchu. “You’re leaving no leeway for us! Are you not afraid of karma?”

Zhao Chuchu strode toward the clan head and raised a derisive smirk. “What about a clan head who bullied a helpless maiden? Are you not afraid of karmic retribution in this life?”

“Zhao Chuchu!”

“Listen! You won’t receive any honor if I don’t give it to you! You’re nothing to me if I don’t feel like entertaining you, old geezer!”
