Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Shengsheng frowned: "Master, can you see if there's anywhere around where we can settle down?"

After searching for a while, Little Dumpling said, "There's a Zhu Family Village two kilometers ahead. We can rest there."

Yun Shengsheng understood the situation and turned to look at Yan Shijin.

She was still thinking about how to use all sorts of unreasonable arguments to get Yan Shijin to agree not to travel today.

As a result, Yan Shijin spoke first.

He instructed Mo Ning, "Everyone has been traveling very hard lately. Let's find a village or town nearby to rest tonight."

Mo Ning responded with a "Yes" from outside and rode off to investigate.

They returned shortly afterward and reported, "Master, there is a village ahead called Zhu Family Village."

"It looks fairly clean, and the people seem honest and kind. Why don't we rest over there?"

Yun Shengsheng's eyes immediately lit up.

Yan Shijin saw her reaction and his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Okay, then we'll stay in Zhujia Village tonight."

"Take your men and make arrangements first, without disturbing the people."

"Yes, Master!"

Just as they settled down in Zhujia Village, a rumble of thunder rolled across the sky.

Then, with a loud bang, large raindrops began to pelt down, instantly turning the sky and earth into a vast white curtain of water.

Mo Ning stood under the eaves, looking up at the torrential rain outside, and swallowed hard.

He said with a look of relief, "Master, thank goodness you had the foresight."

"Otherwise, we'll all be soaked to the bone tonight."

Yan Shijin smiled but didn't say anything.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Yun Shengsheng was awakened by noises outside.

She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, only to find the room empty. She guessed her family had already woken up, but hadn't called her.

She got dressed, pushed open the door, and went out, only to see that the village chief's yard was surrounded by people.

Suddenly someone shouted, "I'm not lying, he said he killed someone..."

Yun Shengsheng and the others stayed at the village chief's house last night. It seems there must have been some conflict in the village, and they came to the village chief early this morning to seek justice.

The village chief's house was packed with people inside and outside, even more lively than a market day.

Yun Shengsheng stood on tiptoe and peered around for a while, but she was too short to see who had called out. However, when she turned her head, she saw Yan Shijin, Chu Xiao, her parents, and her sister sitting in a side room eating breakfast.

She quickly went over and asked, "What happened?"

"What's all this commotion so early in the morning?"

Gan Yuwan served her a bowl of millet porridge, while Yan Shijin pushed over a plate of vegetables and pastries.

Chu Xiao also came over and handed over a bowl of stir-fried pork: "Come on, little sister, this is something I made myself!"

Yun Shengsheng immediately swallowed hard: "Hehe, thank you!"

Wu Xia whispered behind her, "Master, would you like to wash up first?"

Yun Shengsheng nodded and followed Wu Xia to wash up.

After she finished washing up, she sat down at the dining table to eat, and her family quietly told her what had happened.

It turned out to be a fifteen-year-old rascal from the village named Zhu Xiaowang, who was caught trying to break into a house in the middle of the night.

The house they broke into belonged to Zhu Sanjiang, a respected elder of the village who was nearly seventy years old.

But after Zhu Xiaowang was caught, he stubbornly shouted that Zhu Sanjiang had killed someone, and Zhu Sanjiang himself said so.

But how could anyone possibly believe him?

First of all, Zhu Xiaowang lost his parents at a young age and grew up eating food from the villagers.

But he just wouldn't learn to be good; he spent his days stealing chickens and dogs, lying and acting like a scoundrel.

At first, everyone turned a blind eye because he was young and pitiful.

But now he's fifteen or sixteen, and he still hasn't changed his ways. He often steals other people's things, and everyone can't stand it anymore.

Secondly, this Zhu Sanjiang is almost seventy years old. He has a kind face, but he hasn't been in good health lately and is a bit forgetful.

In his early years, Zhu Sanjiang ventured out and made his way in the world, and later he returned home in glory.

He not only built roads and ancestral halls for the village, but he was also a very kind person.

He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, and he even helped support the education of several children in the village.

Therefore, the villagers naturally sided with Zhu Sanjiang, and no one believed Zhu Xiaowang's words.

The village chief's family was even more inclined to side with Zhu Sanjiang.

According to seniority, the village chief must address the other party as "uncle".

Moreover, the village chief's current position was also due to Zhu Sanjiang's support a few years ago.

Therefore, the village chief would protect the other party both morally and logically. Moreover, he didn't believe the words of Zhu Xiaowang, that swindler and scoundrel.

He sternly rebuked, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, you scoundrel, I'll tie you up and hand you over to the authorities."

After hearing the whole story, Yun Shengsheng thought it was just a typical rural farce and didn't take it too seriously.

Yun Huaikang also whispered, "The village can handle this kind of thing on its own."

"If that doesn't work, there's the township, the town, and the county government!"

Yan Shijin nodded and said to Mo Ning, "Say hello to the village chief in a bit, and then we'll be on our way!"

Chu Xiao stood up and stretched: "Right, let's get going, while the rain has stopped. We can travel a little further today."

"Look at the weather, it might rain today."

Just then, the little dumpling suddenly shouted excitedly, "Ahhhhh!"

Of course, only Yun Shengsheng could hear it. So the vibration made her feel like she was going deaf.

[What are you doing, Tongzi? You scared me!]

The little fritter cried out anxiously, "Host! Host! Don't go, don't go! Something's up with this old man Zhu!"

Yun Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat, and her brows furrowed tightly: [Something's up? What do you mean?]

Yan Shijin, Yun Huaikang, and the others immediately pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

His eyes involuntarily drifted towards Zhu Sanjiang.

Zhu Sanjiang couldn't help but shudder. He glanced over and saw that they were several strangers, but he didn't pay any attention.

His kind face held just the right amount of embarrassment.

He looked at Zhu Xiaowang, sighed, and said, "Xiaowang, you're not young anymore. You can't just drift along like this all day!"

"You should grow up too!"

"Grandpa doesn't blame you for what happened this time. How about this, you stop making a scene here, and Grandpa will find you a wife!"

"That way, you can live a good life with your wife from now on!"

Hearing him say this, everyone felt even more that Zhu Xiaowang was incorrigible, and that Zhu Sanjiang was too kind and too easy to talk to.

The village chief disagreed, saying, "Uncle, don't get involved in this! I'll take him to the yamen right now! He really needs to learn a lesson!"

Actually, he also harbored some resentment towards Zhu Sanjiang.

What decent family's daughter would marry a good-for-nothing like Zhu Xiaowang?

Isn't this harming that girl?!

Zhu Xiaowang had just been hit by Zhu Sanjiang's promise and was thinking that if the other party really offered to pay for his marriage, he might as well change his mind.

But when he heard the village chief say that he was going to be sent to the yamen (government office), Zhu Xiaowang panicked.

He managed to break free from everyone's grasp and quickly hid behind Zhu Sanjiang.

Most importantly, Zhu Sanjiang really protected him: "Hey, he's still a child, that's enough."

"Everyone, just go about your business. I'll handle things myself..."
