Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 849: Chapter 852: Are You Sure You Really Want to Report This to the Authorities?But the villagers didn’t buy Xiaoxiao’s shouts.

”What else do you have to say?”

”Isn’t it enough that you’ve caused us this trouble?”

”Exactly, we must report to the authorities and have them arrested.”

”...”

”...”

Facing such relentless villagers, Xiaoxiao was filled with anger. She bit her thick lips with her white teeth, and after a while, her tense face relaxed, leaving a row of teeth marks on her lips. She tried to calm herself, her shadowy eyes turning towards the Village Chief.

With a slight sneer, she said, ”Village Chief, you are supposed to be the leader of this village. Is this how you handle problems?”

Xiaoxiao’s words were enough to provoke the Village Chief, whose expression looked particularly unpleasant, but Xiaoxiao didn’t care and continued, ”Now that the villagers are in trouble, instead of urgently calling a doctor to have a look, you just argue here, aren’t you afraid of delaying the illness and causing fatalities?”

”Since everyone is showing symptoms simultaneously, it’s likely there’s an infectious disease in the village. Why don’t you hurry and find a doctor? Are you waiting for everyone to catch it?”

”What can arguing here solve? Can all this noise make the bumps on your bodies disappear or what?”

”...”

”...”

Xiaoxiao had explained things so clearly that anyone with a bit of sense could understand, but the ignorant villagers still weren’t convinced and unanimously believed that the situation arose because they came into the village.

”Village Chief, what infectious disease? Our village was perfectly fine before they got here.”

”It must be their doing, we can’t let them go.”

”...”

”...”

Although the villagers were ignorant, the Village Chief, being the elected leader, did have some sense. With a calm demeanor, he stopped the villagers, shouting loudly, ”Stop arguing.”

”Village Chief?”

The Village Chief furrowed his brows, waved his large hand, and shouted angrily again, ”I told you to stop arguing.”

Sure enough, the villagers fell silent, and the Village Chief spoke to a young man beside him, ”Boss, go quickly and bring the doctor from the town.”

”Yes, father.” The young man quickly ran off.

Leaving behind this group of villagers, one of them continued to say, ”Village Chief, still, we can’t let this family leave.”

”Yes, we can’t let them go, this matter is definitely related to them.”

”Yes, report to the authorities, let the government office solve it.”

”...”

”...”

Upon hearing about reporting to the authorities, Yang Ming furrowed his brow. They didn’t have the time to stay any longer. If the government office got involved, it would take a long time, and his son’s illness couldn’t wait. After finally getting news of the Divine Doctor Xue, no matter what, they couldn’t let the authorities interfere.

So, he spoke, ”Listen to me, everyone, we really didn’t cause this. To prove our innocence, we won’t leave. We’ll stay at Little Shitou’s house and wait for the doctor to come diagnose everyone’s illness. Once the doctor sees it, it’ll be clear.”

Although Yang Ming assured them that they would stay in the village, the villagers were still insistent on reporting to the authorities.

”Hmph, you won’t be able to escape even if you try.”

”Yes, lock them up and wait for the authorities to arrest them.”

”This matter is definitely your doing. No one is leaving until it’s resolved.”

”...”

”...”

Facing the villagers’ stance, Yang Ming’s expression remained cold, and he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, ”Are you sure you really want to report to the authorities?”
