At last, Chief Niu Chuxi spoke. His thick and slightly aged voice carried a trace of displeasure. He hated when a bunch of people would jump out when he wasn't sure what was going on. He frowned and said:

"Okay, what are you arguing about? "Brawler, tell me, what is it?"

As soon as the Village Head spoke, Qimu felt much more at peace.

In her impression, the original owner had always been a little afraid of this old man who looked fierce, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that everything that this village chief, Niu Village, had done, was always relatively fair and clear, making her convinced and convinced.

The villagers were scared and respectful at the same time. Therefore, even though the mountains and the seas were harsh on the people, the atmosphere of Niu Village was still considered very good compared to the other villages.

However, the three words "little brawny guy" somehow hit a chord. Although when the village chief was the village head a long time ago, her cheap father was just a little kid with no butt, so it wasn't wrong to call the village head that way. However, it was an inexplicable feeling of joy.

"I …"

Ye Dazhuang saw the Village Head asking him a question, so he embarrassedly raised his head to look at the Village Head and awkwardly smiled, but he couldn't say anything.

What was he supposed to say? He couldn't say it out loud!

At this moment, Qimu's slightly hoarse voice that was filled with tears rang out. With a calm yet respectful tone, she said,

"Village Head Niu, can I speak for my dad? I've been at home, and there are some things I know better than my dad. "

"Right."

Niu Chuxi looked at Ye Dazhuang who could not utter a single word, and agreed to Qimu's request.

Seeing this, Qimu carefully put Yang Lili back on the haystack of the pigsty. She then slowly stood up, walked out of the pigsty, and blessed Village Head Niu's side.

"Village Head, you know my family is in trouble. We often lose food, and it was only with the help of the villagers that we barely made it through. However, yesterday, my family …

Qimu looked like she wanted to say something, but hesitated. She bit her lips, sighed again, and lowered her gaze.

Hearing Qimu's words, Niu Chuxi nodded his head invisibly, and his gaze towards Qimu softened a little. He knew a little about the life of the second house in Ye Family, and this Ye Family could be considered to be one of the best, but this second house …

As for the others in the Niu Village, they held their breaths and listened, afraid that they would miss something interesting. The days in the Niu Village were short, and a small matter like the sesame seed could be discussed with others for a long time after the meal.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lee's face was dark and the corners of her mouth drooped. She was unhappy about her granddaughter's disgraceful performance. However, she did not want to lose her temper in front of the Village Head.

Zhang Chuncao tightly gripped the handkerchief as soon as she entered the village chief's room. Her small eyes darted around uneasily as she looked around anxiously.

Lee Zhiqing was still respectfully supporting Mrs. Lee. Her skin was white, and she dressed neatly, standing there with a calm face, like a wild flower in a mountain. Amongst the group of women from Niu Village, she was rather outstanding.

Qimu swept her gaze across the crowd without leaving a trace before she choked with sobs and said:

"Qimu was forced to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables so that her father, mother, and brother would not starve. I never thought that I would accidentally fall down on the mountain. Luckily, I found some food to eat, so I didn't go there for nothing …"

Qimu did not mention anything about the cliff at the top of the mountain. Firstly, she did not want others to know that she had ruined her path of making a fortune with the help of the Gynostemma. She was so poor that she could not eat.

Secondly, last night I invited Doctor Faang, who usually doesn't talk much, and rarely went out, and never had any relationship with that family. Even if the people from Niu Village knew about this, they could only say that she was in bad health, and suddenly fainted, causing her parents to be frightened to the point of asking for a doctor. They didn't know about the wounds on her body, the ones that were unknown, and the ones that she had just entered gave her an extremely good chance.

"Maybe it's because I was too tired yesterday and my face was scratched by a tree branch, so I fainted when I returned home. Father and Mother left the main house at night because of me. They wanted some money to invite a doctor for me …"

A few people nodded their heads at the same time. They were close to the Ye Family, so when they heard last night's commotion, it was really noisy, especially the terrifying hoarse voice of Zhang Chuncao. They wanted to let the whole village know what she was talking about, this second house of Ye Family was not easy to live on, the two adults were diligent, they were willing to do anything, but the family did not have any good days, everyone showed sympathetic expressions.

"Grandma and aunties were kind enough to send for a doctor, but when I woke up this morning, I didn't know what had happened, but Mom was crying by the bedside. Seeing that I had woken up, she went to get me some food and told me that she had to go to the main house to help out, so she left. But Mom usually works in the fields with Dad, and the main house is under the care of Eldest Aunt and Third Aunt.

Hearing Qimu say that Mrs. Lee and Ye Family were two wives with good intentions, Aunt Wang somewhat mockingly glanced at them. What kind of people are those two?

"It was noon when dad, mom, and brother didn't come back. I was anxious so I went to the main house to look for them, but my grandma and aunty were having dinner. They all said they didn't know and I was alone. I searched for a long time before I found out …"

Qimu explained herself clearly before kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Niu Chuxi. In an instant, tears started streaming down her face as she said in a miserable voice:

"Village Head, please save my mother, please save us, my mother is in the pigsty …"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. A few of them ran to the pigsty quickly. When they saw Yang Lili, they shouted:

"It's really here, it's really here …"

"What do you mean by throwing people here …" "Which heartless person made this …"

"Who hit him? Look, that face …"

"What kind of Ye Family is this …"

For a moment, no one bothered with the smell of the pigsty. They all surrounded him. Even Ye Dazhuang, who looked like a rotten tree, moved two steps forward. He was sad, too. Only Mrs. Lee and her group remained impassive and motionless.

Niu Chuxi looked at Yang Lili's expression with a straight face. He glared at Ye Dazhuang and snappily said, "You're courting death!"

"Move the person out first, it's not a good thing to be lying like this. Ye Dazhuang, you carry your wife."

Ye Dazhuang was stunned as he followed Niu Chuxi's instructions. He carried the pigsty. Just as he was about to head inside, Qimu stopped him with tears in her eyes and said in grief,

"Father, mother just fainted in the pigsty. What about in the future? For such a long time, what's wrong with it? When will this kind of life end? "

"Mu, do you still have any rules?!"

Mrs. Lee couldn't hold it in any longer, so she turned to Qimu and ordered her.

Qimu remained unmoved. She stabbed herself with the hairpin for a few times, causing blood to ooze out from her tattered clothes. It was a shocking sight. Her misty eyes stared straight at Ye Dazhuang as she said:

"Dad, give us a chance to live. Since we're separated, let's live by ourselves!" No matter what, our family can still be together properly! "

"Mu, I can't …"

Ye Dazhuang looked at his daughter's red face as he cried. He couldn't bear to do it, but after years of begging, he still refused.

At this moment, Aunt Wang saw the blood stain on Qimu's arm with her sharp eyes. She went forward without hesitation and grabbed Qimu's arm.

"Ye Dazhuang, look at your daughter. What's your daughter-in-law like?"

Only then did Ye Dazhuang see the wound on Qimu's arm. He asked hastily,

"What's the matter? Mu? "

Qimu only shook her head and shot a glance at Mrs. Lee. She lowered her head and did not say anything. Aunt Wang, seeing Qimu's actions clearly, mocked her:

"I've never heard of anyone working for their wife, or even their own granddaughter. Village Chief, when did our Niu Village become like this?"

Niu Chuxi's sharp eyes instantly swept over Mrs. Lee. When Mrs. Lee heard this, she panicked and said:

"When have I ever worked hard for others? I have been married into the Niu Village for dozens of years. I swear to god, I have never done such a thing!"

You asked for a doctor for Mu last night, and I heard it clearly from the room next door. How did you guys do it? Don't you have a heart count? Today, you knocked your own wife out and threw her into the pigsty. What are you going to do tomorrow?! "

As the Wang family's concubine kept talking, she pulled up Qimu's sleeve. The wounds on her arm made the crowd cry out in shock. They looked at Mrs. Lee with disgust.

Mrs. Lee was rendered speechless. Her body trembled in anger as she looked at Zhang Chuncao, flustered and exasperated, and said:

"Who did it? Speak!"

She actually knew a bit about Zhang Chuncao's attitude towards her second wife, but she didn't expect it to be so serious and even cause trouble in front of others.
