Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Xu Liyun really couldn't bear it anymore. A sharp light flashed in her gentle eyes. She quickly stretched out her hands and gently but firmly covered the ears of her two little daughters.

Then, she glared at Aunt Guo fiercely: "Please think before you speak, and be more virtuous. Our family is upright and never does anything against our conscience!"

Seeing this, Aunt Guo not only did not restrain herself, but became even more arrogant, as if she had found an opening to attack: "Second brother, your wife is really not very good. Although I am your elder, how can she talk to me in this way? Look at her clothes and dress up, and then compare your parents and eldest brother with how shabby they are. Especially your mother, who has such a hard life. As a son, can you just stand by and watch?"

Zhang Laoer pursed his lips and said, "But I...my parents and I have long since separated and are living our own lives."

"You're just going to ignore it after you divide the family? That's not the way it works in our village!"

Aunt Guo seized this opportunity and fanned the flames even more vigorously, which unexpectedly caused many elderly villagers around her to nod their heads.

"Aunt Guo's words do make some sense."

Zhang Laoer lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded with a complicated expression.

Seeing that her words had worked, Aunt Guo deliberately cast a provocative look at Xu Liyun, full of the arrogance of a winner.

Hu Bin, who was watching silently from the side, was extremely anxious.

His savior was so easily provoked that he wanted to stand up immediately to defend Xu Liyun and prevent this kind-hearted person from suffering such humiliation.

However, just as Hu Bin was about to take action, an unexpected reversal occurred.

Zhang Laoer suddenly spoke up, his voice calm but firm: "Aunt Guo, have you ever sent money or grain to Third Uncle in these years? I remember Xiaokai is still short of a dozen taels of silver to start a business. You are wearing a lot of jewels and your family must be well-off. Why don't you lend him a helping hand?"

The third uncle he mentioned was Aunt Guo's father-in-law, and Xiaoliu was the son of her younger uncle.

As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to freeze.

Back then, Aunt Guo instigated her husband to divide the family property for her own selfish interests, causing Third Uncle to live in poverty. Even during famine, he was unwilling to share his surplus food with his elderly parents-in-law.

This old account has almost been forgotten by time. Aunt Guo never expected that Zhang Laoer would make it public at this critical juncture!

Not only that, Zhang Laoer's eyes swept sharply towards the few people who had just agreed with Aunt Guo most enthusiastically: "Brother Dahu, I heard that your brother has been ill recently, and the family savings must have been emptied, and even the food is hard to afford. You have always been loyal and righteous, so I think it would be better if I could suggest to Brother Erhu on your behalf that he come to your house to eat during this period of time?"

"And Sister Tao, you have so many pieces of jewelry. Why don't you give some to other women in your family? You are so generous on weekdays. This little gesture of kindness shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Without exception, the expressions on the faces of those who were named by him suddenly changed. Just like the arrogant Aunt Guo before, they instantly became embarrassed and embarrassed.

What's worse is that their relatives also gathered around to watch the fun. Under Zhang Laoer's clever guidance, as if they had received some kind of tacit approval, they shamelessly came forward one after another, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits. The scene suddenly became chaotic and delicate.

This sudden change made Aunt Guo's corner instantly quiet, and the people around her quickly dispersed like sand blown away by the wind.

They all knew very well that if the secrets in their respective families were revealed by Zhang Laoer, who was known for his straightforwardness, they would probably become a laughing stock for everyone and cause unnecessary trouble.

As a result, everyone left with excuses, and the scene suddenly became much quieter.

At this delicate moment, the arrival of the village chief seemed to have pressed the pause button on the family farce that was about to unfold.

Before he was fully visible, his deep, bell-like voice had penetrated the crowd, making everyone's eardrums buzz: "Has everyone made enough noise?! Remember the last time the eldest brother was caught in the act, you looked so sincere and promised more firmly than anyone else that you would never do it again. At the earnest request of the second brother, I reluctantly suppressed the matter and did not let it ferment further."

"But who would have thought that you would become a completely different person. Not only would you not repent, but you would also shamelessly push the blame onto the second brother! In that case, I don't need to show any mercy anymore. You should bring the eldest brother with me to the government office immediately. If you want to sue the second brother for being unfilial, I will sue the eldest brother for theft! You guys have really brought shame to our Zhangjia Village. Even people outside Chengguan County will know about this!"

The village chief's words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the tears that were about to flow from Old Lady Zhang and her carefully planned tragic performance.

There was now a bit more scrutiny and disdain in the eyes of the onlookers, and the atmosphere became awkward and solemn.

Boss Zhang was originally lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, but when he heard the village chief's unquestionable order, his eyes suddenly opened and he wanted to hide behind his mother in fear, his guilty look was completely exposed.

The couple from the third room, who were dragged here by their parents, were like frightened rabbits at this moment. They wished they could curl up into a ball and disappear quietly into the crowd, for fear that their figures would fall into the sharp gaze of the village chief or Xu Liyun.

Faced with the Zhang family's various reactions, some panicked and some quibbling, the village chief had a serious face and showed no intention of compromise. Every word he said was powerful.

"Don't think that the dirty things in your family can be hidden from me. I have already sent Zhang Rui to investigate privately. The eldest brother's leg injury is not as serious as you cry about. As long as you find a reliable doctor, prescribe some medicine, and rest for a few days, it will naturally get better. But you just want to save that little bit of money and let the eldest brother drag his incurable leg at home and make a fuss, and the condition has become more serious!"

"Now that your son has really run into trouble, you're starting to feel distressed. And the way you feel distressed is to drag your own second son down with you? The second son has already separated from you, and when he left, he didn't take a penny with him, only a few worn-out quilts. The separation agreement written in black and white has your fingerprints on it, and you're still trying to deny it now?"

Following the village chief, the six strong men who had personally escorted the Zhang family that night also came forward. They recounted what happened that night in detail. Every detail was portrayed vividly, completely destroying the Zhang family's credibility among the villagers.

Among them, the second uncle emphasized the noble sentiment of the second brother who silently endured the injustice and was unwilling to ask the eldest brother for compensation even when he was wronged.

After hearing all this, the villagers looked at the helpless and aggrieved expressions of Xu Liyun's family, and compared them with Mrs. Zhang's previous behavior of crying and making a fuss and trampling on her second son's reputation, the scales in their hearts involuntarily tilted towards justice.
