Chapter 163: Leave It to the Man

The Junior Officer’s words meant that he had decided to banish Old An from the village. The Chief’s eyelids twitched. He had a bad feeling.

“Junior Officer, I’m not trying to do anything to anyone. It’s just that Aunt Wang is too much of a bully. Since she dares to bring Ministry Councilor He here, she might do something worse next time.”

An Jiuyue glanced at the Chief before looking at Old An and his wife.

Ministry Councilor He thought he should not go overboard with beating them up. With his servants holding him by the arm, he instructed his thugs to retreat.

However, they were really beaten up badly, lying motionlessly on the ground although no one was hitting them anymore.

An Jiuyue remarked faintly, “I wonder if there is anyone in town who has contracted the disease. What happens if Aunt Wang brought someone with the disease in?”

The Chief and the Junior Officer gasped in unison.

When the men around them heard that, they looked at Ministry Councilor He’s group in horror as if they were the source of the disease.

“Chief, what do we do now?”

“Chief, did Aunt Wang leave the village already? Otherwise, how did Ministry Councilor He and the others come here?”

“This family is so detestable! We didn’t even notice when they left the village! If I saw them, I would’ve definitely broken their legs!”

A few men glared at the two motionless people on the ground.

The Chief’s heart skipped a beat.

Nobody knows when these two left the village. What if they really brought the epidemic disease in?

What’s the most important thing now?

It’s not about whether An Jiuyue’s child would be taken away or how detestable Old An’s family is. The epidemic is the most important!

How will the villagers survive if the epidemic disease finds its way into the village?

On the other hand, the Junior Officer did not consider as much. He walked up to the couple and kicked them.

“Why are you still lying there? Get up!”

Old An, already in pain, cried out when he was kicked again.

However, he did not dare disobey the Junior Officer and sat up with difficulty. When he saw his wife still lying down, he kicked her.

Aunt Wang whimpered a little. She stood up, snot and tears everywhere, and hunched over.

The Junior Officer yelled at them, “Spill! When did you leave the village?”

Aunt Wang was startled. She took a step back instinctively and looked at Old An timidly.

This was not the time for her to stand out. She should leave it to the man.

Old An did not dare to hide anything from the Junior Officer and explained, “L-Last night, this woman and my eldest son planned to sell An Jiuyue’s child. They left the village and contacted Ministry Councilor He.”

However, he pushed all the blame on his wife and son as he did not want to be chased out of the village.

Aunt Wang was shocked and lifted her head up quickly.

She would have a hard time in the future if the Junior Officer held her responsible for everything.

She would definitely be divorced and sent back to her parents. She was already old and did not want to cause such an embarrassing matter.
