Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 239

The village head of Beilan Village came over, jogging: "Stop it right now."

With a shout, both families finally stopped.

The village head was stern-faced: "What are you all doing, got nothing better to do after eating your fill?"

Actually, he had heard of the matter between the two families, but he didn’t want to get involved in these trivial affairs.

If someone hadn’t called him at home, he wouldn’t have come over: "On my way here, I heard that both families are at fault. Everyone has a mouth on their face, some speak truth, and some speak lies. Don’t you guys have anything else to do? If anyone stirs up trouble again, don’t blame me for deducting your work points, leaving you with nothing to do."

Afraid of deduction of work points, both families quieted down.

Just then, Old Man Lyu stepped forward: "Village Head, we are not here to stir trouble intentionally; it’s the Yu Family that has gone too far. When compensation was paid before, it was agreed that once the money was taken, it would be as if nothing had happened before. But the Yu Family took the money and spread rumors.

You know my daughter Juanzi is about to get married, and finding a son-in-law from town is somewhat related to my third son. Yet, the Yu Family has spread the rumors about Jun Cheng far and wide. If Juanzi’s in-laws hear of it and something goes wrong halfway, will the Yu Family take responsibility?"

Upon hearing Old Man Lyu’s complaint to the village head, Yu’s mother also stood out: "Who started spreading the rumors first? Your wife spread gossip about our family, don’t tell me you didn’t know. You don’t manage your own family, but instead bring people to attack mine, and that’s justified?"

Before Old Man Lyu could speak, Granny Lyu chimed in: "Did we, the Lyu Family, spread the gossip about you and Xinyan breaking off relations first? Why don’t you ask your two good daughters-in-law properly, and stop wrongly accusing others.

I was just stopped by someone from their maternal family to confirm, how can you blame us? Whereas you couple, how did you talk about compensation back then? Really shameless, the house was built with money left by someone’s family, funds for curing the son’s illness were exchanged, and still stubbornly demanded compensation from us. Aren’t these all facts?"

Yu’s mother was not one to back down: "That’s our family’s business, it’s not up to you to manage. According to what you say, your Jun Cheng was caught in bed with his sister-in-law, is that not true? What, do the deed and not let others talk?"

This matter was previously only whispered between a few people in private. Now it’s good, with all the fuss the Lyu Family is making, Yu’s mother simply declared it publicly. After all, she got her compensation, so she wasn’t afraid of the Lyu Family.

As for whether it would affect the Lyu Family’s daughter, she couldn’t care less. Anyway, the divorce between Lyu Juncheng and Yu Xinyan, that dead girl, was the fault of the Lyu Family’s son initially, so the impact on her own Erli wouldn’t be too big.

Old Man Lyu was furious, his neck turning red, and Granny Lyu seeing Yu’s mother shouting their third son’s scandal, got even more agitated.

The village head stood to the side, looking at the Lyu Family: They are really foolish, afraid that the Yu Family will shout, while they are still carrying out those small actions that prompted retaliation, then leading their children to come knocking, now it’s public and everyone knows, what are they trying to achieve?

In fact, Old Man Lyu was impulsive due to hearing the rumors, hence he impatiently came here to ask the Yu Family for an explanation. Hearing what the Yu Family said now, he knew he acted rashly today, glaring at the old wife and daughters-in-law beside him. If it weren’t for them stirring things at home, he wouldn’t have lost his head in anger.

Granny Lyu initially wanted to argue, but hearing the village head speak: "I’ll say it again, a single palm doesn’t clap, both families are wrong in this matter. Even if you’re not in-laws, you live as neighbors, you see each other often, you can’t turn into enemies, right?

Take a step back, what do you think?"

Yu’s mother snorted coldly, looking at the village head: "In this matter, they were unkind first, spreading rumors about us, and then attacking us at home. However, since the village head mentioned it, naturally I have to give face."

Granny Lyu wasn’t going to let it go just like that, as they were at a disadvantage. But now that the village head had spoken, if they didn’t listen, they’d offend him. She hadn’t responded yet, when her old man agreed: "We’ll listen to the village head."

Seeing that both families were sensible, the village head loudly told the onlooking villagers: "This matter affects the village’s reputation. Everyone has a son to marry off or a daughter to wed. Think it over."

This big drama was solved by the village head in a few words; the onlooking villagers were somewhat unsatisfied, but with the information just revealed, there’s plenty to chat about for a while.

Once everyone dispersed, the village head looked at the Yu Family: "Actions are watched by the heavens, no matter what, don’t do things too excessively. There’s a knife above the word ’profit,’ so take it easy."

Saying this, he left with his hands behind his back.

Yu’s mother watched the departing village head: "Old man, what does the village head mean by this?"
