"Iâll testify to this." The village chief stood up, "I brought the person over that night." He then looked at Yang Daju, "How can you be so ungrateful?"
"I..."
"Didnât you agree to report it to the authorities back then?" The village chiefâs face looked even worse, "Now whatâs wrong with Guan Xinxin? Did Xinxin lock up your husband?"
"This is absurd." Feng Zilan also stepped forward, "Looks like our Xinxin wonât dare to help people casually in the future, or else anyone can come over and make false accusations, canât they?"
"Yang Daju, have you lost your mind?" Wang Xinghua suddenly shouted, "How can you repay kindness with enmity so quickly? If you want to save your husband, go to the County Governorâs Office, why look for Xinxin?" She had been worrying about her eldest sonâs wedding these days, and seeing such a clueless person, she couldnât help but lose her temper.
"Exactly, who would have thought Yang Daju couldnât tell right from wrong."
"Must have been bewitched by that Wang Liuzhi."
"Oh, itâs unbearable." Yang Daju also realized she was in the wrong, but she couldnât be without a man, so she had to risk it, "Are you trying to force my child and me to death? You guys..." At first, she was also angry, but when the injury on her head turned out to be not serious, she suddenly got scared. Without a man, sheâd become a widow, and her son was only ten, how would they survive in the future? So, she didnât want Wang Liuzhi to go to jail. Even if he was occasionally troublesome, at least she still had a man, right?
"Yang Daju, what are you doing?" Dong Wenxiu frowned, "What did our Xinxin do to you?"
"Big sister-in-law, you have a capable daughter, so you donât mind being a widow, but my child is still young, and thereâs no one to help, I canât be a widow..."
"You..." Dong Wenxiu was choked with anger, her face turning white. Who would willingly be a widow if they had a choice? Wasnât this person striking at the heart?
"Youâre talking nonsense!" Sanni jumped over, "Keep talking rubbish and see if I wonât smack you? Get out!"
Yang Daju shivered in fear, "I didnât mean any harm, I just canât speak properly. I was just thinking that Xinxin is familiar with the countyâs master, and could say a word to get my husband released."
"What nonsense." Fang Tianze walked over, his face darkened, "Do you think Daxuanâs laws are there just for show? Can people act however they like? Even a prince is punished the same as a commoner if they break the law."
Yang Daju shrank her neck again, recognizing that this was the son of the countyâs master.
"Since you reported it, Wang Liuzhi committed an assault crime, and being jailed is normal." Fang Tianze sighed, "And it hasnât been tried yet, no verdict has been reached. If you keep shouting here, believe it or not, youâll be jailed immediately too?"
"I wonât shout anymore." Yang Daju immediately got up upon hearing this and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, "Xinxin, I was thinking wrongly, but, I donât want to be a widow, and my child shouldnât be without a father, right? So..."
"Three days later, the countyâs master will hold a public trial for this case. You just need to be there as the involved party, whether you want to sue or not is up to you." Yang Ruxin sneered, "But before the sentencing, no one has the power to get him out."
"I understand, thank you." Yang Daju immediately showed a smile, "Iâll leave now. Oh, these are the eggs I collected, a gift for the newlyweds." She said as she handed over the basket at her feet.
