Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at Yang Dong, hoping he would give an answer. Was he really drugged or not?

Yang Dong was on the verge of collapse. If he admitted he was drugged, it would be too humiliating. But if he didn’t say anything, wouldn’t that be helping Lan Hua Auntie?

Just when he was confused, someone in the crowd spoke up.

”Oh, I just remembered, the person I saw in town yesterday was Lan Hua Auntie.”

”Yesterday, I saw Lan Hua Auntie on the street arguing with someone, saying that they should refund her the medicine money. She said the medicine they sold her was completely ineffective, useless when used on a man, claiming that they sold her fake medicine and demanding a refund of a hundred coins.”

”At that time, I thought, it couldn’t be Lan Hua Auntie. Her husband has been dead for years. Who is she buying such medicine for? Now that I think about it, it all makes sense.”

This undoubtedly informed everyone that Lan Hua Auntie really did drug Yang Dong, but since she bought fake medicine, Yang Dong showed no reaction and was unaware.

Someone else chimed in.

”It’s truly retribution from heaven, buying fake medicine, hahahaha.”

”Isn’t it hilarious? Luckily, it was fake medicine. Otherwise, that fine young man Yang Dong would have been ruined.”

”...”

”...”

This saved Yang Dong from having to say whether he was drugged or not.

Listening to the villagers gossip, Yang Dong stepped forward, approaching the Village Chief. ”Uncle Village Chief, I didn’t even know they would harm me like this, making me take fake medicine. If I have any issues because of this in the future, who’s responsible?”

”I can’t let this go. Their family has to compensate me.”

Hearing this, Lan Hua Auntie panicked and quickly denied it, ”I didn’t drug anyone. You must have mistaken me for someone else. That definitely wasn’t me.”

Yang Xiaocui’s sisters-in-law didn’t expect to bring up this matter to demand a family division, only for Yang Dong to demand compensation again. This compensation would come from them, meaning they would get even less when dividing the family assets. What should they do? They were all worried!

While they were anxious, they saw the Village Chief shaking his head and sighing, angrily saying, ”Xiaocui’s mother, what can I say about you? How could you do something so disgraceful?”

”Since Yang Dong has spoken, you must compensate him. I’ll make the decision here; give Yang Dong that piece of newly cultivated wasteland on the west side.”

The Village Chief never thought such a thing would happen under his jurisdiction. If word got out, he would be laughed at by other villages. No other village had encountered such a big scandal involving drugs, fake marriages, and even murder.

If he could, he wouldn’t want to admit this family was from his village.

These minor issues, he could still adjudicate!

”Yang Dong, what do you think of this?”

Yang Dong nodded, ”It’s acceptable.”

”Xiaocui’s mother, quickly hand over the land deed for that plot of land.”

Hearing the Village Chief’s words, Lan Hua Auntie desperately clung to the bag containing the land and house deeds, ”No, I don’t agree. I won’t compensate.”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaocui’s three sisters-in-law also started to feel the pinch about the land, quickly speaking up, ”Uncle Village Chief, although mother-in-law did that, the medicine didn’t do anything to Yang Dong. Isn’t Yang Dong standing here just fine? There’s no need to compensate with the land, right?”

”Yeah, if we hadn’t spoken up, you wouldn’t have known about this. Let’s just drop it, okay, Yang Dong?”
