Just as the fist was about to hit Ye Ziāanās face, Yang Chuxia picked up a stone from the ground and threw it, hitting Ye Ziāyongās arm, causing it to go numb. This delay allowed Ye Ziāan to punch back.
Land Officer Yang saw that it was Ye Ziāyong inside and was immediately furious, "Bastard, bastard, actually stealing from our own village."
"These two boys are up to no good. I bet they noticed that Brother An working as an accountant in town, and Ms. Hua Junior has her eye on Anās wages," said Uncle Old Gen from the village.
Auntie Li from the Li Family on the side also spat, "Exactly! That Ms. Hua Junior is so shameless, sheās so malicious, getting An into such trouble. Now that An has recovered a little, sheās causing more problems."
For a time, everyone was discussing Ms. Hua Junior and her two sons. Actually, under normal circumstances, villagers wouldnāt go to Ye Ziāanās house. But this kind of theft in the village is a big deal and people are poor, so they hate thieves. Moreover, Yang Chuxiaās previous words had stirred something, so people began to realize that An might not have cursed them. Lastly, outsiders sympathized with Anās pitiful situation, and so they all came to help.
"Brother An, what do you think we should do?" asked Old Gen.
Land Officer Yang was very angry, but he had to first listen to the victimās statement.
Ye Ziāan, however, said calmly, "How to deal with it is all up to Grandpa Land Officer. Thereās only one thing Ziāan wants to say ā these two break into my house and steal today, and itās hard to guarantee they wonāt do the same in someone elseās house in the future. I hope the Grandpa Land Officer can consider this when handling the case."
"Yes, thatās right! What if they come to steal from my house in the future?" Auntie Li exclaimed.
Others who came with her were also worried about whether these two youngsters would break in and steal from them in the future.
Yang Chuxia silently praised Ye Ziāanās words, which resonated with the crowd and created a common fear, so these two brothers would no longer be welcome in the village. Yes, opportunities to step on enemies must be seized vigorously.
"Grandpa Land Officer, I think people like this shouldnāt live in our village," said Yang Chuxia at just the right moment. Ms. Hua Junior is very vicious, and her two sons are even worse. Since she beat both brothers, along with their relationship with Old Lady Hua, a grudge had been formed between them.
Who knows if these two will find ways to cause her trouble in the future? Although sheās not afraid of trouble, sheās afraid of dealing with annoying people. If thereās an opportunity to drive this family out of Yangshu Village, they definitely shouldnāt miss it.
"Thatās right, Land Officer! The girl is right. There hasnāt been a single theft in our village for decades. Although people might quarrel from time to time, no oneās ever stolen or attacked anyone. This sudden appearance of a rotten one ā what would people in other villages say if they knew? Are we going to lose face?" said Uncle Old Gen after Yang Chuxia finished speaking.
However, when Yang Chuxia heard the words, she was taken aback ā "spicy girl"? Are they talking about her?
Auntie Li then clarified her question, "Land Officer, Spicy Girl is right. We canāt have people like them living in our village. Besides, Ms. Hua Junior and her two sons are not originally from Yangshu Village. They should be driven out, and we shouldnāt lose our villageās reputation."
