"You're going to report him for hooliganism?" Fu Wenwen, having heard enough, pushed through the crowd and entered the yard, stopping in front of Lin Xing. "Then... can I report you for breaking up a marriage?"
"Don't you know that breaking up a marriage is also a prison offense?" Fu Wenwen stood up, her cold eyes sweeping over Lin Xing on the ground.
Lin Xing panicked and immediately said, "He was the one who acted like a hooligan towards me first. If anyone goes to jail, it should be him!"
"That statement of yours is ambiguous! Firstly, your claim that Lin Feng bullied you is unfounded!" Fu Wenwen stated.
"How so?" The village chief and others looked at Fu Wenwen curiously.
"What proof do you have?" Fu Wenwen asked Lin Xing slowly. "You said Lin Feng dragged you into the yard and tore your clothes? Here? In my yard, he tried to bully you? Is that what you're saying?"
"That's right!" Lin Xing gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Did you not see anyone else at home when you came in?" Fu Wenwen smiled at Lin Xing. "Lin An, tell everyone what you just saw."
The village chief and the others then noticed Lin An standing in a corner of the yard, holding a toothbrush. "Lin An, you're here?"
"Village Chief Grandpa, I've been here all along!" Lin An nodded, holding up his toothbrush for everyone to see, a hint of pride in his voice. "Look, Mom made me a toothbrush, and I brush my teeth every morning!"
"Oh, that's good. So what did you see just now?" the village chief asked Lin An with a smile.
"I saw... Aunt... Lin Xing took advantage of when Dad opened the door and rushed into the yard, then she took off her own clothes and started screaming while sitting on the ground." Lin An pointed at Lin Xing. "Then all the uncles and grandpas from the village ran over."
"You're lying!" Lin Xing immediately yelled, pointing at Lin An. "You little bastard, if you can't speak properly, don't spout nonsense. Aren't you supposed to be mute?"
"Who are you calling a little bastard?" Fu Wenwen said coldly.
"A little bastard is calling Lin An!" Lin Xing pointed at Lin An and cursed. After finishing, she realized Fu Wenwen's question was a bit off.
"Hahahaha..." The villagers behind the village chief, who had heard everything clearly, couldn't help but laugh.
"You arrived just after I stepped out? You clearly had this planned, intending to frame Lin Feng! My home isn't just Lin Feng; Lin An is here too! You thought you could barge in and slander Lin Feng while I was at work, but you should have used your brain! Forget dragging you into the yard, Lin Feng wouldn't even touch you!" Fu Wenwen said dismissively to Lin Xing.
"To put it bluntly, you don't have the capital for any of this. He rejected me, why would he be interested in you?" All the men present nodded at Fu Wenwen's words.
Looking at Fu Wenwen and then at Lin Xing, any man would know who to choose; there was no comparison.
"You want to slander Lin Feng for bullying you, but you have no motive and no evidence. Who would believe your nonsense?" Fu Wenwen said coldly. "I have Lin An as my witness. He saw everything. Children are the least likely to lie, and he clearly stated that you rushed into the yard yourself."
"Lin Xing, we aren't fools!" the village chief said earnestly, glancing at Lin Xing on the ground. "We understand you don't want to marry the butcher, but why would you do something like this, slandering Lin Feng? What are you trying to gain?"
"Yeah! What are you trying to gain?"
"Lin Feng already has the educated youth Fu, how could he possibly bully you?"
"What you've done is very questionable. You can't do something like this to slander Lin Feng just because he used to treat you well, can you? Isn't that being ungrateful?"
"Exactly! If it weren't for Lin Feng, your own grandmother would have abandoned you in the woods long ago! Lin Feng carried you back from the woods and gave you his food!"
"You're truly worse than a dog. At least a dog would protect its owner."
"..."
The villagers pointed at Lin Xing, reprimanding her.
"Why don't you believe me? It was Lin Feng who bullied me!" Lin Xing insisted that Lin Feng had bullied her, but the villagers simply didn't believe her.
"That's about as credible as your father promising to stop gambling!" Aunt Tian said with a laugh. "Not believable at all."
"I don't care, Lin Feng must go to jail no matter what!" Lin Xing insisted on Lin Feng going to jail. Seeing Lin Xing throwing a tantrum, Fu Wenwen raised an eyebrow.
"Get up quickly, stop making trouble!" The village chief couldn't watch any longer and sent someone over to help Lin Xing up.
However, Lin Xing struggled and refused to get up, even biting fiercely.
"Ouch, did Lin Xing contract rabies? Why is she biting people?" The villager who was bitten had his hand broken by Lin Xing. Lin Xing, angry, said, "You are all bad people! Why are you all helping Lin Feng! I already told you he bullied me!"
"Do whatever you say go? Everything requires evidence!" Fu Wenwen found Lin Xing somewhat unreasonable, and she kept talking about sending Lin Feng to jail.
Fu Wenwen looked at Lin Feng, and their eyes met. Both of them thought of the same thing.
"Lin Xing, did someone pay you to slander Lin Feng and get him jailed?" Fu Wenwen suddenly shouted at Lin Xing.
"You... What are you talking about! Don't spout nonsense, I didn't take anyone's money." Lin Xing instinctively touched her pants and shook her head vigorously.
The village chief paused upon hearing Fu Wenwen's words, his face darkening.
"Hold her down, Aunt Tian, search her pockets!" The village chief said to Aunt Tian with a somber expression. Aunt Tian immediately walked towards Lin Xing.
"Let go of me! Ah! Don't touch my pockets! Help! Let me go..." Lin Xing also heard the village chief's words and struggled even harder. Seeing this, several villagers came forward to help hold Lin Xing down, preventing her from moving wildly.
"There's something here." Aunt Tian went up and directly reached into Lin Xing's pocket. Her hand fumbled, and surprisingly, she found money.
Aunt Tian pulled out a wad of money from her pocket. Counting it, there were ten 'Da Tuanjie' bills. "Village Chief, there's really money here, a hundred yuan!"
"Where did this money come from?" The village chief looked at the money in Aunt Tian's hand, his face sinking.
Lin Xing froze, lowering her head, not daring to speak.
"You can let her go," the village chief said to the villagers. The villagers released Lin Xing and stood behind the village chief, blocking the door.
Holding the hundred yuan that Aunt Tian handed him, the village chief looked at Lin Xing and sternly demanded, "Lin Xing! Speak! Where did you get this hundred yuan from!"
"I... I..." Lin Xing stammered, unable to answer.
"Lin Xing, you'd better tell the truth. This is no longer just about slandering Lin Feng. Who took your money?" The village chief was very angry. Fu Wenwen's matter had already served as a wake-up call, and now Lin Xing was also slandering Lin Feng, claiming he had bullied her.
If Fu Wenwen hadn't come out to testify for Lin Feng, Lin Feng would have been misunderstood by everyone again. At first, they thought Lin Xing was doing this because she didn't want to marry the butcher and wanted to latch onto Lin Feng, extorting money from him...
