The village chief looked at Madam Jiang expressionlessly and said, “You know very well what kind of life Jiang Chuan had been living in your Jiang family. In all the years that I’ve been the village chief, this is the first time I’ve heard of stealing in our village. If everyone else learns from your family, then does this village still have any rules? If you’re not happy with the decision, you can let others judge.”

Jiang Chuan’s family was surprised to hear the village chief defend them like that.

Madam Jiang met the village chief’s angry eyes and shrank her neck, not daring to say anything.

Although the village chief didn’t say that Jiang Chuan was at fault, he still had to clarify the matter, so he continued, “Jiang Chuan, tell me your reason for destroying the Jiang family.”

Jiang Chuan glanced at Zhou Lan and took a deep breath, “Chief, Zhou Lan came to the Jiang family because she couldn’t take it anymore. You saw Xiao Xia and Xiao Gu’s injuries last night. Zhou Lan took care of the two children last night. She couldn’t help but hear the children cry out in pain in their sleep, so…”

Jiang Xia gave his father a thumbs up in her heart. Her father’s ability to make up stories was very good.

Last night, when her family went back, she gave Jiang Gu from the interspace. She didn’t know if it was because Jiang Gu was young and weak and needed sleep to repair her body, but she fell asleep not long after drinking the water.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, her dear mother also slept with them.

Jiang Xia cooperated with the story and brought Jiang Gu to her father’s side.

Many people did not believe Jiang Chuan’s words. Not everyone had seen Madam Jiang beating up Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu last night, but when the two children stood up, everyone had no choice but to believe it.

Looking at the purplish-black wound on Jiang Xia’s shoulder, how ruthless must she have been to cause such a wound? And Jiang Gu, was her arm broken by Madam Jiang?

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Madam Jiang probably wanted to beat Jiang Chuan and his children to death! No wonder Jiang Chuan’s wife would come to Jiang’s house early in the morning to cause trouble.

The village chief was also shocked to see the two children’s condition. Last night, the lights in Doctor Li’s house were dim. He only saw a swollen wound on Jiang Xia’s shoulder and did not expect it to be so serious.

Hearing the whispers, Jiang Xia knew that the villager’s opinion would lean toward her family.

In fact, in the modern world, Jiang Xia wouldn’t care too much about other people’s comments. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

However, this theory did not apply to the countryside in the 1960s. A person’s reputation played a vital role in whether he could survive here.

Jiang Xia walked to Zhou Lan’s side, held her hand, and said obediently, “Mom, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Let’s go! Grandpa Chief said that he would punish them. We will listen to Grandpa Chief. In a few days, we will bring everyone up the mountain! We need to rest well. Since they’re targeting us, we won’t bring them along.”

Jiang Xia said this out loud so the chief and the other villagers could hear. It is to make sure the village chief knew their stance in obeying his words as well as to let the other villagers know that those who treat them well will benefit from it. They had already broken off relations with the Jiang family, it is up to the rest of the villagers which side they are willing to take.

Of course, no one would expect someone at Jiang Xia’s age to think so far. They simply assume she was scared and trying to convince her parents to leave.

The village chief smiled when he heard Jiang Xia’s words.

Both Jiang Xia and her father looked at each other feeling proud. Jiang Chuan used the complaint card while his daughter used the sympathy card. The father and daughter sang the same tune and pulled public opinion to their side.

Old Jiang’s face turned red from embarrassment and it was the same for Jiang Gui.

Madam Jiang however, did not look ashamed at all. She kept staring at Jiang Chuan’s family with a vicious gaze. If not for the fact that there were so many people, she would probably have attacked again.

Jiang Xia did not want to be outdone. She glared at Madam Jiang from a direction where no one could see.

Madam Jiang saw Jiang Xia’s gaze, and her eyes widened. She probably didn’t expect Jiang Xia to be so bold as to glare at her..
