"Village Chief, that's not the case. They are just framing my Xiaojie. You have watched Xiaojie grow up. He has always been obedient and sensible. How could he do something like looking for a lover outside? Come." Seeing Village Chief Yang's face turn ugly, Mother Li screamed, worried that he would side with the Lin family.

Naturally, Village Chief Yang also wanted to believe that what Village Chief Li said was not true, but what the other party said was sometimes so well-founded that it was hard to find fault at all. Moreover, the marriage between the Li family and the Lin family was obviously caused by the Lin family and the Li family. Why would the other party ruin such a marriage and ruin the reputation of their own little brother?

"Then why do you think they framed Li Jie???" When he thought that Li Jie was looking for a lover outside and other villages knew about it, and the reputation of Dongyang Village would be stained, Village Chief Yang became very irritable. He asked Mother Li impatiently.

Mother Li was questioned by Village Chief Yang, who wanted to say that the Lin family was dissatisfied with the marriage and wanted to deliberately sabotage it. But no one believed it when he said it. The Lin family's previous attitude towards the marriage was seen by everyone with a discerning eye. What's more, if the Lin family was really dissatisfied with the marriage, it would have been fine if they had just disagreed before. Why would they regret the engagement after getting engaged?

"Seeing is believing. I know you won't believe it if I don't let you see it with your own eyes. Yesterday we saw Li Jie entering that woman's house with our own eyes, and he must still be there now. Let's go to that woman's house to see what's going on. Let's take a look. Is Li Jie there, and what is his relationship with that woman?" Village Chief Li suggested, seeing the awkward situation.

Village Chief Yang thought about it for a while, and then nodded, "Okay." Just like what Village Chief Li said, if there is still a trace of doubt in his heart without seeing it with his own eyes, it is better to go and see it with his own eyes. Another point is that Village Chief Yang is also worried that Village Chief Li will make the matter worse if he doesn't agree. By then, it will really be a big scandal.

Upon seeing this, Mother Li shouted directly, "Go ahead, I want to see how you make it up later." Well, this person still didn't believe the facts, she just thought that Village Chief Li and others were deliberately framed.

Village Chief Yang completely ignored Mother Li and went directly to a few more prestigious elders in the village, and then called several of his own sons, thinking that he would not be at a disadvantage if there was a real commotion later.

It was a coincidence that when Village Chief Li and Village Chief Yang led the villagers to find the widow's house under the leadership of Lin Erzhu, the courtyard door opened from the inside before they could knock on the door. A young woman walked out from inside. The young woman had a delicate appearance and a graceful figure. At first glance, she was a beauty.

After seeing a dozen men standing at the door of her house, the young woman was frightened and took several steps back. She subconsciously wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu, one on the left and one on the right. The young woman became even more panicked when she saw this. She asked everyone outside the door, "Who are you and what do you want to do???" while shouting to the room, "Master, master, please come out quickly." Everyone heard the

young woman . Everyone who was calling the leader looked into the courtyard, and they soon found out whether Li Jie was the one in charge.

As the young woman yelled, a young man ran out of the house soon. He might have not even put on his shoes because he was too anxious. Village Chief Yang and other people in Dongyang Village all showed angry expressions after seeing the man, because the person who ran out was none other than Li Jie, which meant that what Village Chief Li and others said were true.

Village Chief Yang and others had angry expressions on their faces, and Village Chief Li, Lin Han and others had very ugly expressions on their faces, especially Lin Han and his son, who just wanted to pounce on Li Jie and bite Li Jie's flesh.

As soon as Li Jie heard the young woman's scream, he thought something had happened and hurried out when he saw Village Chief Yang and his party, as well as his future father-in-law and uncle. Li Jie stopped subconsciously and looked at everyone in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

When the young woman saw Li Jie's appearance, she had a vague suspicion in her heart. The young woman also knew Li Jie's plan. Although she was dissatisfied, firstly, the young woman was still being supported by Li Jie. Secondly, the young woman also knew that Li Jie's parents would not allow Li Jie to marry her. In this case, it was better to follow Li Jie's plan.

If anyone was to say who was the angriest at the scene, apart from the Lin family, it was Mother Li. Mother Li had always doted on Li Jie, and even doted on him, but she also had very high demands on him. He couldn't even look down on the innocent Lin Qin, let alone a widow, even if the widow was from the town and a woman.

Mother Li screamed and rushed over to beat the young woman. Li Jie finally reacted and stopped in front of the young woman to block Mother Li. While avoiding Mother Li's attack, he shouted, "Mom, mother, mother, please calm down." , Xiaoyu is already pregnant, and she already has your eldest grandson in her belly."

As soon as the word "eldest grandson" came out, Mother Li's offensive paused subconsciously, and then continued to attack, shouting while attacking, "Wait until you become mature." I don't have to worry about not having an eldest grandson to hug you. Don't tell me I won't let this bitch give birth to your child. Even if I give birth to your child, I won't admit it."

When Li Jie saw everyone just now, he thought it would be the Lin family. He rushed up, thinking of blaming everything on Mother Song and asking them to cause trouble for Mother Song, but he didn't expect that the first person to cause trouble for him would be his mother.

When Xiaoyu heard that Li's mother called her a bitch, she showed an angry expression on her face. Although she was a widow, people in the town still had a small yard in the town. How could she not be worthy of Li Jie? What's more, she was a widow in the first place. Li Jie chased her first.

"Okay, stop now. Li Da, please stop your mother-in-law quickly. Don't be embarrassed." Village Chief Yang saw that many doors in the surrounding yards were opened, and some residents who heard the noise poked their heads. Looking over here, he was worried that the matter would get serious, so he quickly asked Li Da, Li Jie's father, to come forward to dissuade him.

Hearing this, Li Da hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mother Li. He wanted to come up to her just now. He did not dislike Mother Li's disdain for the child in Xiaoyu's belly. That was his eldest grandson.

Mother Li was already out of breath after chasing Li Jie for a long time, but she couldn't get away from Li D's grasp. She could only stand there angrily and stare at Xiaoyu.

"Let's go in first and then talk." Village Chief Yang looked around and said to Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li didn't want to let anyone watch the excitement. He nodded and led everyone into the courtyard with Village Chief Yang and his party, and then closed the courtyard door to isolate all sight from the outside.

"Uncle Village Chief, why are you here???" Li Jie still can't figure out what went wrong, why the Lin family knew about Xiaoyu's existence and found Xiaoyu's family.

"Tell me what you have done. Why did you go to the Lin family to propose marriage since you are already in love? Even if your mother doesn't agree with you marrying a widow, just slowly persuade her." Village Chief Yang hates that iron cannot become steel. said.

The old people who came with Village Chief Yang also looked at Li Jie with shameful eyes. If this spreads out, how will they talk about marriage in Dongyang Village in the future? It will be really embarrassing.

Hearing this, Li Jie subconsciously looked towards the Lin family, and saw that the Lin family were all looking at him angrily. Their eyes were almost killing people. He shrank his neck and said, "Uncle, I have Xiaoyu and it's me who went to the Lin family to propose marriage." No, but this is not what I had in mind. It was a woman from their Zhuangyuan Village who asked me to do this." Village

Chief Yang was shocked when he heard this and looked directly at Village Chief Li and the others.

Naturally, Village Chief Li couldn't admit this. He snorted coldly and said, "You are quick to shirk the blame. You said that your mother-in-law asked you to go to the Lin family to propose marriage and you went. Then if she asked you to eat shit, would you also do it?" Go eat."

"I..." Li Jie couldn't say that the other party gave him money, otherwise the villagers would look down on him even more.

Village Chief Yang originally thought that what Li Jie said was true and that people from Zhuangyuan Village came to find him, and he also wanted to use this to make a fuss about shirk the responsibility. But looking at Li Jie's choked look, he thought that Li Jie said that on purpose to shirk responsibility. When he saw this, he looked at Li Jie with even more contempt.

"Li Jie, I, the Lin family, have never felt sorry for you, but you have harmed my Lin family and our little brother like this." Lin Han looked at Li Jie sadly and angrily. When he thought of Lin Qin, who was still depressed now, Lin Han wanted to kill him. Li Jie.

Li Jie shrank his head and did not dare to look at Lin Han and the others. He also knew that what he did was unethical. The Lin family, especially the younger brother of the Lin family, was innocent. But people die for money and birds die for food. He just wants to make some money and marry Xiaoyu smoothly at the same time.

"Village Chief Yang, if Dongyang Village can't give us a reasonable answer for this matter, then we can only go to the county government to file a complaint." Li Jie's behavior can be said to be marriage fraud. He really wants to go to the county government. To sue him is to be sure. However, Village Chief Li was just trying to scare Village Chief Yang and the Li family. If he really wanted to sue Li Jie, he would be able to get compensation and vent his anger, but if it really got to that point, Lin Qin was deceived into getting married. Even the town and county Even if everyone knew about it, how could Lin Qin find a good family if that was the case?

Village Chief Yang didn't know that Village Chief Li was trying to scare him. He was frightened when he heard Village Chief Li's words. He quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Li, we will definitely give you and the Lin family a satisfactory solution for this matter." Answer." If Village Chief Li really sues Li Jie to the government, then all the villagers in their Dongyang Village will never be able to raise their heads in other villages in the future, even the girls and brothers who married in their Dongyang Village will have to A few points shorter than others.

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Li gave Lin Han and others a comforting look, asking them to calm down a little and stop being so excited.

This matter was all Li Jie's fault. Village Chief Yang discussed it with a few old men, and then said, "This matter was done improperly by Li Jie. It is our Dongyang Village that has failed the Lin family. Look at this." Okay, if you still want to continue this marriage, then ask the Li family to come up with more betrothal gifts, and I don't have to bring back the betrothal gifts. If you don't want to continue, then the marriage will be canceled directly. You don't have to return the betrothal gift, and the Li family will give another twenty taels of silver to the Lin family as compensation." Twenty taels of silver is a lot, enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for two or three years.

As soon as Village Chief Yang finished speaking, Lin Erzhu couldn't help but sarcastically said, "The marriage is going to continue??? Let our little brother marry directly and become the stepfather. If you are willing, I am not willing."

Since Village Chief Yang became the When had he been ridiculed like this before when he became the village chief, he choked immediately, but the fault was theirs, and Village Chief Yang could only endure this tone.

Although Lin Erzhu's words were not pleasant to hear, they were the thoughts of the Lin family. For them, they just wanted to terminate the engagement as soon as possible.

"In this case, the marriage between the Li family and the Lin family will be dissolved today under the witness of Village Chief Li and I. When you go back, you, the Li family, remember to return the things sent by the Lin family to them, and don't forget the twenty taels. Compensation." Village Chief Yang said looking at Mr. and Mrs. Li.

As soon as Village Chief Yang's words came out, before Li Da said anything, Li's mother stopped and shouted, "Twenty taels, a little brother is not worth twenty taels. The engagement is terminated and what compensation do you want? Originally, it was the Lin family who had surpassed our Li family."

The Li family may be considered a wealthy family in Dongyang Village, but giving out twenty taels at once would be a huge drain on their vitality. They would have to reduce their clothing and diet for a period of time, and Mother Li would naturally Not willing.

Village Chief Yang didn't expect that Mother Li would come to this point and say such things. Seeing that the faces of Village Chief Li and others became more and more ugly, he felt extremely anxious and shouted at Mother Li, "Do you really want them to do this?" Are you going to sue Li Jie to the county government!!!"

Village Chief Yang's low roar made Li's mother react. Before, Village Chief Li seemed to have said that if they were not satisfied, they would go to the county government to sue Li Jie for marriage fraud. Mother Li was not willing to let her son go to jail, but the thought of taking out twenty taels made her heartache. She could only suppress her dissatisfaction and anger and muttered, "That twenty taels is too much, it's just a little brother." "

Village Chief Yang no longer wanted to say anything to Mother Li. He just looked at Li Da and asked, "Li Da, aren't you willing to pay twenty taels as compensation???" If it weren't for the fact that there were so many fields under Li Da's name, Yang Village would The chief is thinking of driving them out of Dongyang Village, so he doesn't have to talk down in front of Village Chief Li, and he doesn't have to worry about Dongyang Village's reputation being polluted.

Li Da was obviously not as courageous as Mother Li. When he saw Village Chief Yang looking at him angrily, and when he saw other villagers looking at him with unkind eyes, he dared not agree, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll take it. Let's take it."

Village Chief Yang finally looked much better when he saw Li Da promised to give out twenty taels of silver as compensation. Then he looked at Village Chief Li and the Lin family and asked, "What do you think of this result???"

Village Chief Li He also knew that it was good that the Li family was willing to pay twenty taels of silver as compensation, so he gave Lin Han a look to indicate his agreement. Lin Han saw Village Chief Li's gesture, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he said to Village Chief Yang, "We can ask for less money, but we must give Li Jie a good beating." Don't beat Li Jie hard. After Jie's pause, Lin Han couldn't get rid of the sullen feeling in his heart.

As soon as Lin Han's words came out, Li's mother and Li Daxian stopped fighting. Especially Li's mother directly protected Li Jie and waited for Lin Han fiercely. If you dare to come forward, I will fight you desperately.

Village Chief Yang didn't want Lin Han to beat Li Jie, so he actually let Lin Han beat Li Jie in front of them. If word spread, others should say that he, the village chief, was incompetent and could not protect the villagers. The second reason is that Li's mother has a fierce personality and protects his shortcomings. If he really agreed, Li Jie would get hurt. Li's mother would have to go to his house every day to make trouble.

Village Chief Yang and Lin Han refused to take a step back. The atmosphere in the courtyard was frozen for a while. Finally, Zhang Dayong said softly in Lin Han's ear, "Uncle Lin, they can't let you do it in front of them." The villagers who beat them in front of them, in this case, it is better to take the money first, and then find an opportunity to beat them secretly."

Lin Han's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, as if he was thinking about whether the method Zhang Dayong said was feasible, for a long time Then he said out loud, "Go back now and return the things our family gave you. Don't let me see you in the future. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."

Seeing that Lin Han was finally willing to take a step back, Village Chief Yang felt a pang in his heart. In his tone, he was really afraid that Lin Han would be stiff and refused to give in, and the matter would end badly when the time came.
