A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 131

Both sides had their own version of events, and the onlookers were unsure who to believe.

Interspersed throughout were a few demands for compensation from Yun Jiao's family.

But Yun Jiao's family wasn't easy to bully either, and just when a fight was about to break out, the village chief arrived.

"Don't you guys have anything better to do all day? You even have the leisure to argue here, instead of going beachcombing?"

Cai Jinhua: "Village chief, you've come at the perfect time. Yun Jiao's family has gone too far. They beat my Zhao Di and stole my rabbit. They must compensate us."

Wang Mei: "Bullshit, village chief, don't listen to their nonsense. They clearly wanted to bully my Jiaojiao. Luckily, my Jiaojiao is strong and wasn't bullied. The rabbit was caught by my cat. These girls saw it and wanted to take it, and then they turned around and blamed me."

The village chief felt utterly overwhelmed.

Yun Chennan: "Village chief, it's actually quite simple to prove whether they caught the rabbit first."

Everyone looked at him.

Yun Chennan squinted his eyes, his face showing a smart and gentle appearance.

"Village chief, could you please have a few people separate them and have them stand in different places, making sure they can't hear each other when they talk?"

Although the village chief didn't know what he was trying to do, he wanted to resolve the problem as soon as possible, so he did as he was told.

The girls' parents initially refused, but after being scolded by the village chief, they had no choice but to reluctantly have their children taken away.

Everyone was curious about what Yun Chennan was trying to do.

"Have someone ask them where they found the rabbit, where they caught it, who caught it first, and how my cat stole the rabbit."

"If their answers match, it proves that they caught the rabbit, and we apologize. If their answers do not match, it proves that they lied."

Yun Chennan smiled, but his eyes were slightly cold.

"Then they have to apologize to Jiaojiao."

The village chief clapped his hands: "That's a great idea."

Yun Zhaodi and the others were just children, and from chasing the rabbit to being beaten, and then complaining and bringing their parents, the time was very rushed, so they didn't have the brains or time to reconcile their statements.

When asked this question, someone immediately gave themselves away, frantically glancing at the others before even having a chance to answer.

Unfortunately, because of the distance, they couldn't hear each other's voices.

The village chief knew immediately that the girls were lying.

He was immediately exasperated; not only did he lie, but he also tried to ask for and steal things from a child as young as Yun Jiao.

After asking the questions, the village chief, with a sour face, called the children back.

"Explain yourselves why your answers to the questions are all different."

Yun Zhaodi and the others lowered their heads, not daring to answer.

What else could the onlookers not understand?

"These girls often lie."

"Exactly, not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth."

The parents of several people also felt ashamed, and some simply left without a care.

Cai Jinhua was unwilling to accept it: "That Yun Jiao beat up my Zhao Di..."

Before anyone from Yun Jiao's family could answer, the onlookers began to laugh.

"Cai Jinhua, why have I never seen you pay so much attention to Zhao Di before? Could the marks on Zhao Di's body be as bad as the ones you usually beat her with?"

Immediately, some people started laughing along.

Yun Chenxi hugged Yun Jiao and said, "Besides, it was your Zhao Di who snatched my Jiao Jiao's things first. Someone saw it with their own eyes."

That person was naturally the sheep boy who came to inform Yun Xiaowu and the others.

With the lamb as a witness, everyone believed Yun Jiao even more.

Yun Chennan demanded that they apologize.

The children, pinned down, apologized reluctantly and out of fear.

Even if Cai Jinhua was unwilling and wanted to cause trouble, she was directly chased away by Wang Mei and Shen Yunlian with brooms.

Now no one dared to say a bad word about Yun Jiao's family.

They deserve it.

Cai Jinhua and her family left in a sorry state. They had not only failed to gain any advantage but had also been laughed at and humiliated. They had also been beaten. Naturally, she did not have a good attitude towards Yun Zhaodi, the culprit.

"You troublemaker, all you do is cause trouble for me all day long..."

The crowd sighed at Yun Zhaodi's screams, but few showed any sympathy.

The Yun family was in high spirits after their victory.

"Jiaojiao, if anyone bullies you again, be sure to come back and tell us. We'll stand up for you!"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Okay."

...The next day, they were going to the city to sell pearls. People going to the city got up early in the morning, washed up, changed into their favorite new clothes, and looked energetic.

"Wait, take these cigarettes and sell them too."

Grandpa Yun smokes dry tobacco; he can't afford this kind of tobacco.

Yun Linhe glanced at his father and smiled somewhat obsequiously: "Dad, keep one packet."

His dad wasn't interested, but he was.

Grandpa Yun glared at him, and Yun Linhe smiled ingratiatingly at him, ultimately leaving a pack of cigarettes thanks to his thick skin.

That was such a joy.

"What about the liquor? Are you selling those two bottles of Moutai?"

Grandpa Yun hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"We're not short of money right now, so we're not selling it for now."

Wine, when stored properly, becomes more fragrant and mellow with age.

Even if Moutai is expensive, he wants to save it.

When things get better at home, we can drink some more, or we can sell them.

This thing doesn't spoil easily.

"Jiaojiao, is there anything you want? We'll buy it for you."

Yun Jiao was still half asleep when her excited seventh and ninth brothers woke her up.

She yawned, a little grumpy upon waking.

However, her morning grumpiness is quite adorable. She's not angry at anyone in particular, but rather she puffs up her cheeks and turns her back to the person who woke her up, like a soft, white steamed bun that's been steamed until it's puffed up.

Especially the small face.

So cute.

"Jiaojiao, don't be angry anymore. We're leaving soon."

"How about I buy you some candy?"

After being coaxed by her two older brothers for a while, she stopped being angry.

She rubbed her still slightly groggy, pretty chubby face, her voice carrying a unique soft murmur, sounding as sweet as if she were being coquettish.

"Then I want meat buns, sweet buns, and also popsicles, cookies, fried dough twists, and sponge cakes..."

It's all food.

She still has all her pretty clothes and shoes, and she's not obsessed with toys because her fourth brother is skillful, so she has plenty of toys.

Aside from food, there's really nothing else I want.

"Okay, we've got it."

Yun Xiaojiu: "Ice pops won't do, they'll melt if we bring them back."

Yun Jiao said sweetly, "Then next time, brothers, take me to town to buy it."

"no problem."

Before leaving, her two older brothers each kissed her chubby cheek.

Yun Jiao yawned, then flapped her short legs and arms and crawled back onto the bed.

It's just too hot; I toss and turn and can't fall asleep at all.

I want to sleep in the sea.

She misses her big seashell bed from her past life.

It's so frustrating to feel like I want to sleep but can't.

Yun Jiao opened her eyes and groaned as she got out of bed.

"Fourth brother, where are you going?"

Seeing his fourth brother preparing to leave with his beloved toolbox, which contained the carving tools that Fu Mingyu had given him.

Yun Chenbei: "I'm going to my master's house."

Yun Jiao yawned and walked over to him, wanting a hug.

"I'm going too, I can't sleep."

"It's all the fault of Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother."

Looking at his cute and soft-looking younger sister, who was both angry and complaining, Yun Chenbei felt extremely fond of her.

His sister is so kind.
