This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 138 Screw your "harmony brings wealth" nonsense.

"This...this..." Li Shanhai felt his tongue was a little tied. He walked over with a serious expression, closed the courtyard gate tightly, and then walked back to say...

“Look, isn’t there some misunderstanding here? Xiao Xiao, you and Yue Mei are like sisters, why don’t we just let this matter go? If this gets out, I won’t be able to stay as the village chief.”

"You're just going to let it go like that? This is a matter of life and death, are you planning to just brush it off with a few words?"

Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard a huge joke. Just now, he was righteously saying that he would punish those who attempted murder, but when it came to his own people, he just casually said "never mind" to get rid of it.

From beginning to end, Li Shanhai only cared about his own interests, haha.

She smiled, a smile tinged with contempt, her eyes seeming to hold a knife within them:

"Village chief, what you're saying doesn't seem very convincing. What do you think? Or do you think our family are outsiders, easy targets who can be manipulated?"

"Besides, what does it matter to me whether you can become the village chief or not?"

Li Shanhai looked at the aggressive Ye Xiaoxiao and was a little overwhelmed, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Zhao Chunxiu chimed in, "You accuse my Yuemei of poisoning someone? Then produce some evidence! What's a dead rat?"

Ye Xiaoxiao then took out the scraps of cloth in her hand, which were clearly the same material that Li Yuemei was wearing.

"I found it in my yard."

"Tch, what's the big deal? You need to find a witness, otherwise how can you be sure it's our Yue Mei Gan?"

Zhao Chunxiu continued to argue and make trouble.

Looking at the unreasonable person in front of her, Ye Xiaoxiao decided not to argue anymore. She didn't have any witnesses, and her mind-reading ability couldn't be used as evidence.

Li Shanhai finally found his voice: "That's right, you can't be sure that Yuemei put the poison in there, right?"

"Even if she really did it, there's an old saying: harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"

Screw your "harmony brings wealth" nonsense!

Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to go up and slap this hypocrite across the face.

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door.

Li Shanhai and Zhao Chunxiu were terrified, their hearts pounding in their chests. They instinctively thought the outsiders were government officials, and their faces turned pale with fright.

"Is anyone home? Sis? Sis, open the door quickly, I can see someone is home."

The person who came from outside was Zhao Chunhua.

This relieved the village chief and his wife; at least it wasn't the government.

Li Yuemei woke up slowly to a knock on the door.

While Zhao Chunxiu went to open the door, Li Shanhai said in a kind and gentle voice, "Xiao Xiao, don't make a fuss about this yet. I will give you an explanation."

Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and glanced at Village Chief Li Shanhai as he spoke, her eyes filled with deep disgust. Heh.

She had anticipated this from the moment she arrived; the village chief would only try to smooth things over. After all, that was his specialty.

Therefore, she was not at all surprised by Li Shanhai's explanation.

But that's alright, the best is yet to come. Thinking of this, she curled her lips into a smile, a little impatient.

"Since the village chief has guests, we won't disturb him any longer. Li Yuemei, we'll let you off the hook today. A-Jing, let's go."

Hearing this, Li Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

It wasn't until the next day that she understood the meaning of Ye Xiaoxiao's words, "I'll let you off the hook for today." But it was already too late.

After Zhao Chunhua entered the door, she immediately repeated her purpose for coming. Zhao Chunxiu, who was already annoyed and easily angered, said irritably, "My Yuemei would never marry into your family, give up on that idea!"

"Sister, think it over again. The dowry is negotiable," Zhao Chunhua persisted.

"Get out of here! Even if you give me mountains of gold and silver, I won't negotiate."

Zhao Chunhua couldn't believe that she had come all this way only to be kicked out after saying just a few words. She stomped her foot in anger, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Sister, don't blame me."

Finally, the house was quiet. Li Shanhai glared at him and said, "Look at what kind of pet you've raised! It's always causing trouble, it's so annoying!"

……

Every morning, the riverbank becomes a hub for gossip and speculation.

All the village women's gossip gathers here, is exchanged, and eventually spreads throughout the entire village.

"Hey—have you heard? Our village chief's daughter has been having an affair and gotten pregnant!"

"Really? You can't just make things up."

“How could it be false? I passed by their house yesterday and heard it with my own ears.”

"Tsk tsk tsk—this is truly a disgrace to our village!"

"It's so embarrassing for a young woman who isn't even married yet to be doing that kind of thing!"

"I wonder how her parents raised her?"

"If this were my daughter, I would have broken her legs and kicked her out of the house long ago."
