After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 165, Episode 0172: Forgot Again
Many villagers also felt that the brigade leader's decision was inappropriate, arguing that one hundred yuan could buy two daughters-in-law, and that the brigade leader was showing too much favoritism towards the educated youth.

Many people had already started whispering among themselves, and if you listened closely, you could hear a few words of dissatisfaction with the brigade leader.

Lin Yuexi's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the internal structure of the large team was not as solid as it appeared on the surface.

Whether the captain heard those words or not was unclear from his face; he calmly looked at Old Lady Hua and asked in return:
"How much money did you all take from Uncle Erzhu? Do I have to tell you? And how much stuff did you take from Shani's house? Do you want to calculate that?"

A hint of guilt flashed across Old Lady Hua's face, but she immediately realized that she had no evidence of taking money or goods, so she immediately became firm again.

"Captain, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever take my second brother's money? When did I ever take anything from Sha Ni? Both of them are mentally challenged. Captain, you wouldn't rather believe two idiots than us, would you?"

Even Aunt Wu couldn't stand it anymore. "Aunt Hua, I saw you borrow money from Uncle Erzhu with my own eyes, and I also saw you take things from Sha Ni's house with my own eyes."

Another villager shouted, "I saw it too!"

Then several more people came forward to testify.

Some people said they saw Li Erzhu giving money to Li Dazhu, and others said they saw Granny Hua carrying a bag of rice when she left Shani's house.

Living in the same village, even getting up in the middle of the night could be seen, let alone Old Lady Hua and her family who don't hide from people at all.

We're from the same village, so we see each other all the time. Our ancestors either carried melons together or competed to see who was bigger. There's no deep-seated hatred between us. We might fight in the morning, but by the afternoon we can be drinking and bragging together.

Everyone knew about the affair between Li Dazhu and Granny Hua, but because they were fellow villagers, everyone turned a blind eye.

Some might ask, Li Erzhu and Shani are from the same village, so why do they turn a blind eye to Li Dazhu's family? They only bullied the father and daughter.
Well, how should I put it?

Li Erzhu is an idiot, and the fact that people keep calling her "Silly Girl" shows how they perceive her.

It can only be said that, between normal people and idiots, they lean more towards normal people; besides, everyone is afraid of Old Lady Hua's temperament.

The reason some people are standing up now is because they can't live with their conscience, and others are because they see that the captain has clearly sided with the Luo family.

People can be so realistic sometimes.

Faced with so many accusations coming one after another, Old Lady Hua lost her temper and shouted, "You're all talking nonsense! If you really saw it, why didn't you say anything before?"

The villagers fell silent. Many dared not look at Luo Hui, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Lin Yuexi raised an eyebrow. Who said shrewish women are brainless?
That's how you can pinpoint the exact spot every time.

Yeah, why didn't you guys ever mention Li Erzhu and his daughter before?
The captain was also somewhat embarrassed, as he was one of those who knew the truth but never spoke up.

He coughed lightly and said coldly, "Don't bring up other things. I keep a record of every single debt you have with Uncle Erzhu. Uncle Erzhu is just not smart, not really stupid. He keeps a record of all the money and things you borrowed from him."

Grandma Hua was stunned, while Li Dazhu, who was huddled behind her, became anxious. He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. If the brigade leader really took out the account book in front of the whole village, he would be laughed at by the villagers to death.

"Snapped."

With a loud slap, Grandma Hua was knocked to the ground.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

The captain's face turned truly cold this time, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

The interest on Lin Yuexi's face vanished abruptly, replaced by a faint, savage glint in her eyes.

It turned out that Li Dazhu, who had been timid and hesitant, suddenly seemed to have borrowed strength from somewhere, and took a few steps forward to slap Grandma Hua hard.

"You damned woman, is the family lacking you for food or drink?"

“For so many years, you would send anything you had to your parents’ home. I’ve been putting up with this because I’m taking care of the children and they can’t live without their mother.”

“Erzhu is my younger brother, and Shani is my niece. You’ve been in charge of all the family affairs all these years. I never expected you to treat them like this.” “Go back and get the money and send it to Shani. Otherwise, I can’t bear to see you like this anymore. Go back to your parents’ home and live with your nephews.”

After finishing his rant, he seemed to have suffered a major blow, hanging his head and staggering away.

Some people initially looked down on him when he was cursing, but after seeing him like this, they felt sorry for him.

He was controlled by a wicked daughter-in-law his whole life, and now that he's old, he still loses face in front of the younger generation.

Not to mention the villagers, even some of the educated youth began to sympathize with Li Dazhu.

Ren Yan was a little confused. She scratched her head and whispered to Lin Yuexi, "Do you think he really doesn't know?"

Lin Yuexi did not answer, but silently looked at the other members of the Li family, and hurriedly followed Li Dazhu away with her head down.

They've forgotten about Grandma Hua again.

"mother."

Just then, an urgent shout came from outside the crowd.

The crowd recognized who it was and silently made way for him.

Li Wugen was wearing tattered clothes covered in patches, and his pants were covered in mud. Judging from his appearance, he had just come back from the fields or the mountains.

He rushed in, and immediately saw the old woman on the ground. He quickly went over to help her up.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

He helped her up and saw the red and swollen handprint on half of her face. His expression immediately changed drastically. "Mother, who hit you?"

Turning to look at the crowd, after scanning around, his gaze finally settled on Luo Hui, who was most likely to start the fight.

No one expected Li Dazhu to suddenly slap the old woman's flower. They were all stunned. Li Wugen arrived quickly, and they hadn't recovered yet.

Sure enough, Luo Hui was still being held back by everyone.

Looking at him, isn't he the most suspicious one?

However, unlike Li Dazhu and the others, when Li Wugen saw that it was Luo Hui, his anger immediately deflated like a balloon that had been punctured.

“Brother-in-law, my mother is indeed a bit unreasonable sometimes, but you can’t lay a hand on her. She’s so old.”

He even slapped her in the face.

I feel guilty, but I really can't bring myself to be angry.

He knew all about how his mother usually bullied Sha Ni and her family.

But what can you do? She's his mother!
Hearing this, Aunt Sun, who was standing nearby, was displeased and clarified for Luo Hui: "Your mother's appearance has nothing to do with Hui Zi. It was your father who beat her. Look at the scratches on Hui Zi's face. Those are the scratches your mother made."

She wasn't sure for sure; she arrived a bit late and missed the fight, but whatever, it had to be true.

She gave Luo Hui a reassuring look, then swayed her apron and walked directly to Grandma Hua and her son.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've taken advantage of my second brother's family enough over the years, it's time to pay it back."

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You deliberately bumped into Nizi because you don't want her to have any children. You still want your second brother's house, don't you?"

Grandma Hua was still in a daze when the word 'house' mentioned by Aunt Sun startled her.
