Xie Grandma's words were undoubtedly tantamount to directly convicting Liu Ruolan!
Grandpa Xie on the side had a bad look on his face and glared at him bitterly. What was the situation like now? How could he let this rogue tarnish his daughter-in-law's reputation? Is this old woman's brain broken?
Xie Laosan kicked him directly.
"Stop talking nonsense here! Who do you think is hooking up with you? Even the ugly girls in our village can't even look down on you. Stop trying to put yourself in a position of shame!"
Xie Laosan's words immediately made the atmosphere in the room much better.
In fact, most of the men and women present did not believe what Hu San said. After all, Liu Ruolan was a talented lady. Why should they fall in love with such a bad-looking and frail man?
Hu San was kicked and felt pain in his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
This man is too strong!
"I'm not lying. It's up to you to believe it or not. Humph, I still have the token that woman gave me. If you don't believe it, just search it out."
Before he finished speaking, he saw another movement outside.
The group of people turned around and saw that the village chief and clan chief had arrived, and there were many people behind them, including Liu Ruolan and her daughter.
As soon as Grandma Xie saw Liu Ruolan, she couldn't hide the viciousness in her eyes.
"You bitch, how dare you come back! I didn't know that my second son was not at home. You just couldn't stand the loneliness at all and only thought about men!"
Liu Ruolan suddenly turned pale and her figure was shaky.
Xie Rongzhao and the woman beside him quickly helped her and took her outside the house first.
When Hu San heard the noise, he wanted to look back, but because he was still injured, his movement was slow. When he turned around again, the woman was no longer there.
The village chief's face sank: "What nonsense are you talking about! Have you asked clearly about the whole story? Brothers and sisters, you are so slanderous about someone's reputation. I didn't know that you usually treat your daughter-in-law so harshly. It seems that you are too indulgent in the clan. Got it!"
Grandpa Xie's expression changed, but he still didn't say a word.
In fact, he also heard that his cousin's words were very serious and did not save them any face.
The clan leader also sat firmly now, then looked around at everyone, and then began to ask questions.
"what's your name?"
Hu San thought that this time things could be done, and the man had already promised that he would be safe and get a lot of benefits, so he was not afraid at all.
"Hu San."
The clan leader nodded, looking at the man up and down with a pair of eyes that looked a bit vicissitudes of life.
"You said you had a private meeting with Mrs. Liu on the mountain. Then tell me, when did you meet on the mountain?"
Liu Ruolan suddenly raised her eyes upon hearing the sound, and noticed that both the clan leader and the village chief had calm expressions, and thought that they were trying to vindicate herself.
Hu San rolled his eyes, feeling that although he didn't see Mrs. Liu, he could still come as planned, and he had money on him, so what was he afraid of?
"Probably at the end of Shen Shi."
"When did you separate?"
"The second moment of Youshi."
"Are you sure?"
Hu San said without any guilt: "I'm sure! It can't be wrong!"
The patriarch and the village chief smiled in unison: "Tell me, when you two met, was she the only one, or were there others present?"
Hu San said with contempt: "What this uncle said makes no sense! Since it is a private meeting, how can outsiders be allowed to be present?"
The implication was that they were the only two people present at that time.
Grandma Xie snorted heavily: "I just said that bitch didn't know how to behave, but you still protected her. Now that the adulterer has been tied up here, do you still want to favor her?"
No one spoke.
Xie Rongzhao was small, so he patted Xie Laifu's thigh, and then motioned for him to squat down and listen to what he said.
After hearing this, Xie Laifu's eyes lit up, he gave her a thumbs up, and ran out quickly.
There were more than a dozen female family members who came to watch the fun, and they all hid on the west side outside the door. Apart from Xie Grandma, the only female family member in the room was Mrs. Gao who was standing behind her.
When Mrs. Gao saw no one answered, she agreed: "Aniang is right, these two younger siblings are just too restless. They just came back from their parents' home, and they turned out to be dishonest outside. I didn't know she had a child living in her parents' home. Yue, is she really serving her mother?"
The patriarch couldn't bear to hear this the most, and he struck hard with his crutch, "What nonsense! As the eldest sister-in-law, how can you talk about your sister-in-law in such an arrogant way? The rules of your family are so unbearable?"
Grandpa Xie couldn’t keep it off his face.
His female family members were scolded one after another, and his face was not bright.
"Shut up! You're the only one who talks too much! The matter hasn't been clarified yet. If you dare to talk more, get out of here!"
Mr. Gao's face turned pale and he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The clan leader then snorted with satisfaction and continued the interrogation.
"That is to say, you have not seen the Lady Liu you mentioned since the second quarter of Youshi?"
"Yes, she's gone, so of course I can't see her."
The patriarch then signaled the village chief with his eyes, asking him to continue.
"This matter should be left to my boss and his wife. They are both witnesses and can prove that Xiuwen's wife is innocent."
Grandma Xie's pupils suddenly shrank, why are there still witnesses?
The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, whose surname is Zhu, came here to seek blessings in life before testifying.
"At three o'clock in the morning, I had already picked the wild vegetables and headed back. However, when I left, Mrs. Wang was also there, not far from my cousins. At that time, my cousins were still taking Sister Zhao with them."
Grandma Xie couldn't wait and said, "You've already left, what kind of testimony can you give?"
Zhu just glanced at her lightly and continued: "At one o'clock in the morning, I was washing vegetables in the courtyard. A scholar came to the house and said that he lost his money bag while going up the mountain. He came to ask my father-in-law if he could help find it. , it happened that my cousins brought Sister Zhao over, saying that Sister Zhao had picked up a money bag on the mountain and came here specifically to ask my father-in-law for advice."
There is no need to say much else, except that Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao, mother and daughter, can enter the village chief's house at Youshi, so it must be at least Youshi when they go down the mountain.
Therefore, what Hu San said earlier is obviously not true!
The village chief nodded and said: "The scholar is studying in a private school in the town. I know his name. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to find it later. As for when Mr. Liu came to my house, it was indeed the hour of You. It was obvious. It’s not consistent with what this rogue said!”
Xie Grandma's face darkened.
Hu San, who was kneeling, was also a little panicked.
If things don't go well, not only will he not get the reward, but he may also be in big trouble!
"Well, maybe I remembered it wrong!"
The patriarch sneered: "Remember it wrong? I asked you again and again, and you said you would never remember it wrong. Why do you say you remember it wrong now?"
Hu San was hesitating, and his guilty conscience was already reflected on his expression.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Xie came out to help him smooth things over.
"The sun is not bright in the mountains, so it is possible to remember the wrong time! Besides, Mrs. Zhu also said that she left at three o'clock in the morning, so from three o'clock in the morning to a quarter in the hour, who can prove Liu's innocence? "
