At this time, Bai Zhi walked to the yard and walked closer to Village Chief Li, then said: “Village Chief, your here? Have you eaten?”

Village Chief Li shook his head: “I haven’t eaten, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not hungry yet, let’s talk about your business!”

Bai Zhi was about to open her mouth, but Jia Dazhuang opened his mouth first: “My son went to pick red fruits, Bai Zhi also went to pick red fruits. My son went in there first, when she arrived, she only saw a few remaining red fruits. My son was about to take the rest, but Bai Zhi uses her bamboo pole to fight with my son until he fell and seriously got injured. Now, he was still lying at home. Village Chief Li, you have to seek justice for us, my son is so small, how dare she lay a finger on him! She must be punished!”

Village Chief Li didn’t respond to Jia Dazhuang, instead, he asked Bai Zhi: “What do you say?”

Bai Zhi replied: “The thing is, when I haven’t entered the woods, I saw two boys running out the woods. I recognized one of them, he is the youngest son of Wang Daniu. They were running away in panic, they didn’t even hear when I call. Later, I heard someone calling for help. I followed the sound and look for the person. Then I saw Dongzi lying under the red fruit tree. His legs were broken and his arm was dislocated. I couldn’t bear to see him suffering, so I helped him fix his dislocated arm and bandage his legs. When I was carrying Dongzi to leave, Jia Dazhuang, his wife and other villagers came. They accused me of hurting their son, but Dongzi said that he had fallen on his own. However, they didn’t believe it, they keep on blaming me.”

Village Chief Li thought for a moment, who is Jia Dazhuang? He was a famous lazy man in the village.

Jia Dazhuang pointed his finger under Bai Zhi’s nose and said: “You, stop talking nonsense. When did my son say you didn’t hurt him? He clearly said that you hurt him, but you’re still trying to argue?”

Hu Feng stretched out his arm and slapped away Jia Dazhuang’s hand that was pointing at Bai Zhi: “Speak well, if you dare to stretch your arm again, I will abolish it.”

Hu Feng looked casually slapped Jia Dazhuang’s arm, but Jia Dazhuang felt his unbearable pain.

He glared at Hu Feng, wanting to curse him, but as soon as he saw his cold eyes, he couldn’t open his mouth. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Village Chief Li said: “Listening to both of you, I couldn’t judge who is telling the truth. Let’s call out the people you mentioned and hear what they have to say in person. With this, the truth will eventually come out.”

Bai Zhi said: “That’s good. If it’s alright, let’s call Dongzi too. This matter is because of him. When I bandaged him, he was conscious and coherent. What happened to the incident, no one knows it better than him.”

Village Chief Li nodded his head: “Well, let’s do that.” He turned his head and said to Jia Dazhuang: “Your son’s legs were injured. It’s not convenient for him to get out of bed, you call the people in your house and let’s continue this confrontation in there, how about it?”

Jia Dazhuang’s lips curved into a smile, then said with satisfaction: “That’s fine, I’ll listen to your arrangement.” The only problem he has was very concerned about was the face to face confrontation, but if he could find someone to work with him, then he might succeed.

Jia Dazhuang went to call people, Bai Zhi pulled Village Chief Li inside the house to eat together with them. On the other hand, people started going to Jia Dazhuang’s home.

Jia Dazhuang’s family lived on the west side of the village. Only a certain degree of people will live on the west side. After all, the west side has no decent road and the road was full of bumps.
