Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 233 Of all these incidents, which one is a small matter?

The horse was terrified; in its eyes, the one chasing it wasn't a puppy, but a large wolf.

Because Qiqi ate and slept well at Li Ruru's house, he ran around the village and was extremely happy all day long.

Although it is less than a year old, it is much larger than wolves of the same age.

The tall Qiqi only needed to make a slight move to frighten the horse into a chaotic stampede.

what--

Immediately following was a scream; the leading man was not only thrown to the ground but also trampled by the horse.

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, feeling as if his internal organs had been crushed.

Seeing that it was unlikely he would succeed today, he gritted his teeth and dragged his injured body forward.

Seeing this, the other three followed. Xiao Yishan did not chase after them, but instead led his men to tie up He Dajiao and He Xiaotou.

Those four people definitely won't find Bai Lu, and even if they do, they won't let their godmother succeed.

The most important thing now is to catch He Dajiao red-handed, otherwise this rotten apple might cause some big trouble in the future.

It was easy for a group of people to grab the two people, and He Dajiao was quickly taken to the village head's house.

After listening to the confessions of Xiao Yishan and others, the village head realized that things were not simple and urgently summoned several clan elders from the village to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Li Ruru, Bai Lu, and the others entered the main house of the village head, they sensed that something was amiss.

There was no one in the courtyard. The gate was closed after they went in, and the village head's three daughters-in-law were watching at the door.

To prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Aru, come and sit down." Hai Shi beckoned to Li Ruru in a friendly manner.

After Li Ruru and Bai Lu sat down at the lower end of the table, the village head addressed everyone, saying, "The main reason I've gathered you all here today is to discuss how to deal with He Dajiao and He Xiaotou."

He Dajiao and her son were tied to a stool. With her neck straight, she roared, "Lu Da, what did I do? You have no evidence and you still want to punish me? Punish your head, you son of a bitch, everyone knows you and Li Shi are in cahoots."

*Slap!* He Dajiao got slapped.

It wasn't Lü Da or Li Ruru who hit him, but Lü Da's wife.

She said coldly, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut."

The villagers of Chenjia Village are known for their wild and unruly ways; this incident actually happened.

The protagonist of the story is Lü Da's wife.

When she was young, she got into a fight and tied the person up and sewed their mouth shut. The person could only whimper and kneel down, begging for mercy.

After being detained for three days, Lu Da's wife finally took pity on him and released him.

As a result, she became an instant sensation in Chenjia Village, rising to the top of the list of feisty women.

Even the cunning and manipulative Hai Shi paled in comparison to her.

He Dajiao naturally knew about this, and even her son He Xiaotou had heard the story of Lu Da's wife.

The two were so frightened that they shut their mouths at the same time, pursing their lips tightly and daring not to make another sound.

Lu Da's wife was very satisfied and nodded, signaling Lu Da to continue.

Lu Da was also very satisfied with his wife. He suppressed his smile and said, "Let's not sew their mouths shut for now. If they don't confess later, their mouths won't be of any use."

He looked at Li Ruru with a smile and said, "Ruru, don't you think so?"

Li Ruru nodded: "Uncle Da, I know everything. Old Deng and Little Deng actually tried to collude with outsiders to sabotage the bridge lock. It's really despicable."

She didn't say much, only stating some of the facts.

Lu Da didn't know Bai Lu's true identity yet, and she was afraid that saying too much would only make things worse.

Lu Da nodded and then shook his head, saying, "These are all minor matters." Li Ruru looked puzzled. These are minor matters? Then what are the major matters?
The others didn't understand either, and looked at Lü Da blankly.

Lu Da walked up to He Dajiao with his hands behind his back, looked down at him and asked, "I'm asking you, did you destroy the canal that was built on the mountain behind Aru's house?"
Also, did you build the embankment in front of her house?

Fearing that the crowd might not understand, Lü Da explained to the elders, "The canal on the mountain was destroyed, and the water flowed into the courtyard. A dam was built at the entrance, which then kept all the water inside the courtyard."

“It was him! He destroyed Aru’s house!” Hai said indignantly.

He Dajiao and He Xiaotou exchanged a glance, then both shrank back and dared not speak again.

I thought their crime was at most damaging the village bridge lock and letting strangers into the village.

In that case, Lü Da would at most scold them a few times, or at worst give them a beating, and that would be the end of it.

But to their utter surprise, Lü Da actually knew about that matter.

But... this shouldn't be happening, right?

The bad thing was done by He Dajiao and her son together, and no one else was present at the time.

Now that Lü Da has suddenly brought this up, there must be a traitor among the two of them.

But they are father and son. How can a son betray his father, or a father betray his son?

Then there's only one possibility: Lü Da is bluffing, he's just guessing, and he has no evidence at all.

He Dajiao rolled his eyes and figured it out. When he looked up again, the fear in his eyes was completely gone.

Just as he was about to speak, He Xiaotou next to him shouted urgently, "Uncle Da, you've got it wrong. I didn't damage the canal on the mountain."

"And the embankment in front of Aunt Li's house was something my dad made me repair; it had nothing to do with me. I was wronged."

He frantically shook his head and begged for mercy from the crowd, saying, "My father made me do bad things, and I can't disobey him, can I? Otherwise, wouldn't I become an unfilial son?"

In short, he would rather be a heinous villain than an unfilial son.

He Dajiao's mouth twitched. He had already thought of his words and escape route, but his son suddenly did this.

Well, he directly confessed to two things, while using the guise of filial piety to shirk his responsibilities.

He Dajiao didn't know whether to be pleased with her son's filial piety or to scold him for being foolish.

He Xiaotou's small head couldn't comprehend so many complexities; he only knew that he couldn't let someone falsely accuse him of something he hadn't done.

He cried and begged for mercy, "Uncle Da, please spare me. I haven't caused any major disaster, have I?"

Bai Lu stood up angrily and cursed, "You despicable person, you're trying to kill people, yet you're still causing trouble here."

Chu Xiu, filled with righteous indignation, cursed, "If you fucking say another word, I'll crush your head."

Xiao Wu rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

He glanced at He Xiaotou indifferently; the man's head was small, probably easy to crush.

The three recalled seeing the collapsed house; they all thought Li Ruru was dead and cried for a long, long time in the pouring rain.

Li Ruru had always thought that the matter between He Dajiao and her was just a minor squabble between neighbors. She never expected that He Dajiao, who seemed honest, was secretly trying to kill her.

She was so angry she almost laughed: "He Dajiao, you want to kill me over such trivial matters?"

Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, He Dajiao stopped pretending and said angrily, "A small matter? What is a small matter? You bought the oxcart and caused my ox to twist its leg, making me lose my livelihood."

You run a maltose and konjac tofu workshop, but you don't hire us to work.

You build a bridge in the village but don't let my family cross it; you build a road but bypass my house.

None of these incidents, one by one, are insignificant.
