General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 168

168 Return

At this moment, more people had come to the village entrance to get water. The villagers who had gone around looking for Su Yuniang also rushed back.

Everyone gathered at the village entrance. When they heard Madam Zhou and Fatty Su’s conversation, they could not help but surround them.

When Madam Zhou saw that her fellow villagers were here, she felt more confident.

She raised her voice and said, “Fatty Su, you know very well what you’ve done. To think that Yuniang treated you as a doctor and believed you. She even spent so much consultation money to move into your house, but you’re greedy and don’t know what’s good for you. You harmed Yuniang for money!”

“What do you mean for money?” Auntie Wu asked. “Sister Xiao Zhou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense!” Madam Zhou snorted coldly. “Everyone doesn’t know, right? Yesterday, Su Yuniang took a large sum of silver to Little Su’s house! She disappeared at night! Tell me, if it’s not Fatty Su and the others who killed her for money, what could it be?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, how did you know she took the silver to my house? Did you see it?”

Madam Zhou said, “We’ll know once we search your house!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold. “Search my house? Zhou, I think you’re tired of living!”

Madam Zhou was so frightened by Little Bully Su’s aura that she took a big step back. She said fiercely, “You, you, you, you’re feeling guilty, right? If you have a clear conscience, why don’t you let us search you? I think you… you hid Yu Niang’s silver! You’re afraid that we’ll find it!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If you doubt me today, you can search my house. If you doubt me tomorrow, do I have to open the door and welcome you in? What do you take my Su family for?”

“What happened?”

“Village Head!”

It was Elder Su.

The village head also searched for the entire night. On the way, he bumped into Old Master Su, who had come down from the mountain.

The ages of the two men added up to more than a hundred years old. They were not like young men. After a night without sleep, they looked extremely haggard.

Especially the village head. He was clearly much younger than Old Master Su, but he looked much more tired than Old Master Su.

The person who asked the question just now was the village head.

Li Xiaoyong said, “Aunt Zhou slandered Daya, saying that Daya harmed Yuniang.”

Madam Zhou exploded. “What do you mean by slandering her? I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me… If you don’t believe me, ask Old Master Su! Did Yu Niang leave with a large sum of money?!”

Old Master Su wanted to say something but hesitated.

The village head said, “Brother Su, just say it.”

Old Master Su said with a complicated expression, “Yuniang’s valuables… are indeed missing.”

Madam Zhou hurriedly said, “Did you hear that!”

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled, “Just because of this, you say that I killed her for money? If you have the ability to solve cases, why don’t you go to the government office to be judges?”

“You!” Madam Zhou was so angry that she fell backward.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Speaking of Yuniang carrying silver, I remember something. Sanlang said that he heard Yuniang quarreling with her family before Yuniang left. Why couldn’t you have murdered Yuniang?”

“Yuniang is a member of our Su family! How can we harm her?”

It was Su Can.

He and Su Erlang came over from outside.

He looked at Old Master Su. “Father, we just went to the Zheng family. Yu Niang didn’t return to her in-laws’ house.”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Then tell me, what are you arguing about with Yuniang?”

“Noisy…” Su Can was about to talk about the divorce, but he stopped himself when he caught Old Master Su’s gaze.

He said, “We wanted Yuniang to come back, but she refused to come back. She said that you wanted her to treat her for a few more days. You told her that if she came back early and did not address the root of her illness, you wouldn’t be responsible! We said that you were most likely scaring her. Yuniang was bewitched by you, and she wouldn’t listen to us no matter what! She took the silver to pay for your consultation!”

“I was wrong.” Su Xiaoxiao apologized sincerely.

Everyone was stunned. Was she admitting her culpability?

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “You shouldn’t be judges. You should be storytellers.”

At first, the villagers did not understand. After a while, they realized that Fatty Su was mocking the Su family for making things up.

“Pfft!”

Aunt Liu could not help but laugh. When Old Master Su looked at her with a dark expression, she quickly stopped smiling and looked into the distance with a serious expression.

Su Can said, “Father, in my opinion, they’re the ones who harmed Yuniang!”

The reason why the Su family dared to slander Su Daya so brazenly was that they knew her personality. Su Yuniang had lived there for many days, but Su Daya’s family did not say anything that they should not have.

In order to protect Su Yuniang’s reputation, Su Daya’s family did not expose the truth of Su Yuniang’s departure from home, nor did they publicize the scandal between Su Yuniang and Zheng Yuanbo.

Therefore, Su Daya’s family would definitely suffer in silence!

Of course, even if Su Daya’s family revealed the truth, they were not afraid. Both sides had their own opinions. Did the villagers believe in the Su family which had done evil, or the Su family which had done the village a favor?

Su Xiaoxiao said, “We didn’t harm Yu Niang.”

Su Can said, “Whether you did or not, won’t we know after a search?”

Madam Zhou chimed in, “That’s right. If you were innocent, would you not dare to let us search you? Don’t you agree?”
