Chapter 210 - Resentful
Chapter 210: Resentful
“That’s right! Chief, let everyone put Feng Zi and the others down. Being hung up like this must be uncomfortable!”
They knew there was no point in talking to the Junior Officer, who had always sided with An Jiuyue. Instead, they turned to the Chief.
“Why did An Jiuyue hang my husband up? She’s too wicked!” Brother Dog’s wife chimed in.
Everyone hoped the Chief would stand up for them and scold An Jiuyue. It would be even better if he could be more ruthless and beat her up!
Unfortunately, the Chief only sneered and glanced at them coldly.
“I want to know why too. Why did Jiuyue hang these people from a tree? There are so many people in our village. Why didn’t she hang the others?”
As he spoke, his sharp gaze landed on Brother Dog’s wife.
What did this woman say just now? Her husband and a few companions came to the mountain to catch pheasants, and An Jiuyue might have captured them?
He had only been thinking about the dangers on the mountain and did not consider why An Jiuyue captured them.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed like these people were up to no good.
“Mrs. Jin, why don’t you tell me how you found out Jiuyue captured your husband? Did you follow him up the mountain?”
“I…”
Brother Dog’s wife, Mrs. Jin, took a step back subconsciously after hearing the Chief’s words.
How did she know An Jiuyue caught her man? Of course, she knew. He came to steal her food but did not return for a long time. What else could have happened to him if An Jiuyue did not capture him?
However, she dared not say that out loud.
PLease reading on Mybo x n o ve l. comIf the others discovered that their sons wanted to steal An Jiuyue’s family’s food, they would drown her in their spits.
“I just guessed it. My husband bickered with An Jiuyue last time. Maybe An Jiuyue is resentful?”
Her lips trembled, and she spoke weakly.
Coincidentally, An Jiuyue came down from the treehouse. She laughed out loud when she heard what Mrs. Jin said.
She finally saw through the people she had saved. Not only did they not repay her, but they also slandered her actively.
“I thought all the families here didn’t know that these people came to my house to steal food. But it turns out that you know everything, Mrs. Jin.”
An Jiuyue saw no need to cover up for these shameless people. They had already fallen out, and they had even provoked her. She exposed the reason for hanging them from a tree directly.
Everyone gasped when they heard what she said.
They tried to steal food? They are hanging from the tree because they tried to steal An Jiuyue’s food?!
One of the men An Jiuyue hung up was An Feng. His mother shouted at him immediately.
“You actually came to Jiuyue’s house to steal food in the middle of the night? An Feng, you wicked child! Why didn’t you fall to your death on the way up the mountain?!”
They had felt that An Jiuyue should not have treated their sons like this because they did not know what had happened. Now that they knew the truth, they were too ashamed to stay here.
Every household had difficulties obtaining food. How could they steal it as they pleased?
