The carriage gradually disappeared from sight. Shen Rong turned around and prepared to enter the yard. When she raised her eyes, she saw Changsheng and a woman arguing with each other under the old soapberry tree.

She looked closely and found that the two men seemed to be fighting over something.

Shen Rong was afraid that Changsheng would be bullied, so she immediately walked over there.

When she got closer, she saw that the woman carrying her on her back was Zou, and she was asking Changsheng for something.

"Changsheng, what's wrong?" Shen Rong walked closer and asked.

When Zou heard the voice, she immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Shen Rong, she sneered, "Changsheng's wife, you have to take good care of your Changsheng. Your husband picked up my hairpin and I happened to see it. I asked him to return it to me, but he refused. This doesn't make sense, does it?"

Shen Rong followed Zou's hand and saw the hairpin in Changsheng's hand. The style of the hairpin was obviously worn by young women. A grandmother like Zou would not buy such a hairpin.

Shen Rong knew that Changsheng had gone out early in the morning to look for the hairpin, so it was obvious who the hairpin belonged to.

Shen Rong was about to explain that the hairpin belonged to Changsheng, but before she could finish her words, she saw Zou rush over and snatch the hairpin from Changsheng's hand.

Changsheng had been on guard against Zou's coming up to snatch the hairpin when she jumped out and said that the hairpin was hers. As soon as Zou came up, he subconsciously reached out and pushed Zou aside, then dodged to the side.

Zou was pushed and sat on the ground, "Ouch! You idiot hit me!"

Her exclamation called over everyone who had just returned from the village entrance after seeing the excitement at the Gu family.

"Is this our business?"

"Is this idiot addicted to beating people?"

"Probably not."

The villagers looked at the three people under the tree and talked a lot.

"How dare you hit my mother, you idiot!" Gu Dawang squeezed through the crowd with his fist raised.

Gu Dawang rushed into the crowd and stood in front of his mother. He didn't dare to fight with Changsheng, so he turned his fist into a push and just stretched out his hand to push Changsheng.

He didn't forget how Changsheng beat him before.

"Changsheng didn't hit anyone. It was your mother who tried to snatch things first. Changsheng just pushed her away." Shen Rong said as she stood with Changsheng.

"Bah! What do you mean I'm stealing things? Is that thing his?" Zou jumped up from the ground.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that this hairpin is yours?" Shen Rong asked, staring at Zou.

Zou was stunned for a moment, then she stiffened her neck and pointed at Changsheng and said, "It's not mine, could it be that he is a fool?"

"It's mine!" Changsheng's neck stiffened.

"Oh my, you idiot, do you know what this is? And you say it's yours!" Zou slapped her thigh and shouted.

Changsheng yelled, "I'm not a fool! This is the hairpin I bought for my wife!"

The crowd watching the excitement suddenly exploded.

"What? Did I hear it right? This idiot would buy a hairpin for his wife?" a male villager asked in surprise.

His wife beside him immediately pushed the man who said this and said, "You still call him a fool! He loves his wife, you are even worse than him!"

"That's right. Others know how to give their wives hairpins. What can you do? Beat your wife?"

The man chuckled, "Beating hurts, scolding is love!"

"Get lost!" The man's wife rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing that the villagers' topic was getting more and more off topic, Zou shouted at Changsheng, "You are lying! Who bought the hairpin from that tree hole?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood that Changsheng had taken the hairpin out of the tree hole, and the villagers began to talk about it again.

"Why is there a silver hairpin in this tree hole?"

"Could it be someone else who dropped it?"

"Whose young girl or wife would go there?"

"I often see Changsheng going there."

"If I had known there was a silver hairpin in there, I would have gone in, but Changsheng actually picked it up."

"Didn't he say that he bought it?"

"Do you believe this too?"

"Why don't you believe it? Changsheng never lies."

As soon as the villager finished speaking, Changsheng growled at Zou: "I didn't lie! I bought it!"

At this point, Shen Rong still had nothing to understand. Changsheng hid the hairpin in the tree hole, and when he took it out just now, it was seen by Zou.

Shen Rong quickly said: "Changsheng didn't lie, he bought it."

"Bah! You are in the same group, you must speak for him!" Zou put her hands on her hips and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the two of them.

For the sake of that silver hairpin, Zou completely risked her dignity.

Seeing that my mother was so confident, Gu Dawang straightened his back and stood beside her.

Seeing that the two sides were in a state of stalemate, everyone offered suggestions.

"Changsheng said the hairpin was his, but Zou said it was hers. So whose hairpin is it?"

"They each say they are right, and I don't know who to believe."

The villagers pointed at the people on both sides and talked.

"That's right, who has evidence? What's the point of just yelling?"

"I said that the silver hairpin was mine!"

When Zou heard these words, a trace of panic flashed across her face.

Shen Rong immediately remembered that Changsheng went to buy the hairpin with Ergouzi that day, so she waved to Xiaozhuzi in the crowd.

"Xiao Zhuzi, can you please ask your uncle Ergou to come over for me?"

"No problem, Aunt Rong, I'll go right away!" Xiao Zhuzi ran out of the crowd.

When Zou saw Shen Rong asking Xiao Zhuzi to find Er Gouzi, she felt a little panicked for some reason.

She pushed her son who was blocking her way and said, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and grab the things."

"Ah?" Gu Dawang looked back at his mother, then looked back at Changsheng with some caution, and finally hurriedly whispered to Zou: "Mom, I can't beat that big fool!"

Zou pinched her son and pushed him hard, "What's the point of me raising you? You can't even beat a fool. I've been bullied, and you're still standing there like an idiot, you unfilial son!"

Gu Dawang was pushed and staggered. Being scolded by his mother in front of so many people, he felt so embarrassed and humiliated that he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and rush towards Changsheng.

Changsheng walked forward with the hairpin in one hand and fist raised in the other.

The battle is about to break out.

The villagers who were watching the fun didn't care and laughed. They rushed forward and grabbed the two men in time.

"Oh! Stop hitting me. It's just a hairpin. Just explain it clearly."

"That's right, who does this hairpin belong to? Let's sit down and talk it out. Zou, don't add fuel to the fire. Your son was beaten, don't you feel bad?"

The villagers pulled Gu Dawang, but Gu Dawang didn't want to go up and fight Changsheng, so he just struggled twice and then let go.

Shen Rong was standing next to Changsheng. When Gu Dawang was about to pounce on him, she protected Changsheng behind her and said loudly, "Changsheng bought this hairpin. We have witnesses. It's useless even if you snatch it away!"

"Did you hear that? There's a witness who proves that he bought it. Zou, why don't you take your son back?" the older man scolded.

"Humph! I don't believe it! What witnesses? They must be in the same group!" Zou jumped up behind her son and said.

Just then, Xiao Zhuzi came running over with Er Gouzi.

"I can prove that Changsheng spent nearly a month's salary to buy this hairpin!" Ergouzi's voice came before he even showed up.
