Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 1295 - 1297: Isn’t It Chaotic Enough Already?

Just like that, the five old n of the Zhong Family were taken away by the governnt officers under everyone’s watchful eyes.

After the officers left, the villagers in the courtyard started buzzing with chatter.

"What the heck happened? Wasn’t this matter settled privately? Why did the governnt still co?"

"Soone died on the mountain, so the governnt will definitely seal it off."

"Isn’t the Zhong Family losing their silver and having their people arrested?"

"What bad luck."

"Who could argue with that? The Zhong Family’s truly finished this ti."

"Now we’re done for too. The mountain’s sealed, no more quarrying, we’re out of work."

"Soone died; who would dare work on the mountain now?"

"..."

"..."

Hearing the villagers gossiping in the courtyard, Xiaoxiao’s mother exploded and shouted, "Go, go, go, leave now. There’s no spectacle to see at our Zhong Family."

The Zhong Family’s eldest aunt also yelled, "Our Zhong Family isn’t falling apart, so stop worrying needlessly. If I find out you’ve been gossiping, you’ll see how our Zhong Family deals with you."

Seeing the anger in the Zhong Family mbers, the villagers knew they couldn’t provoke them, given how fierce the Zhong Family is, so they all left.

The incident on Stone Mountain involving the Zhong Family that alerted the governnt, with the five old n being taken away, quickly spread.

The Zhong Family mbers had no ti to worry about the rumors, as they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, unsure of what to do.

"What should we do? The mountain’s sealed and the people arrested?"

"Yeah, we need to co up with a solution. Those old n can’t handle the hardships of prison."

"..."

"..."

While everyone argued, Zhong Dalong squatted to the ground with his head in his hands, sobbing loudly, constantly saying, "It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for , none of this would have happened, Father wouldn’t be imprisoned, the mountain wouldn’t be sealed, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault."

Seeing her son like this, Xiaoxiao’s mother got fired up again, grabbed her son, and said, "What are you doing? Why are you crying? Your father’s not dead yet. Our Zhong Family doesn’t have cowards like you."

The hardest hit by this matter was Zhong Dalong. At this mont, he blad himself for all the mistakes, unable to move forward; his mother’s shout made him feel even more ashad. He had never been so cowardly. As if inspired, he suddenly made a major decision, stood up, looked firmly at his mother, and said, "Mother, I’ll go in place of Father."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother got even angrier, slapping Zhong Dalong’s back again, "Go in place of what? Isn’t this chaotic enough already?"

The other few in the house were thinking the sa as Zhong Dalong, wanting to go in place of their father but closed their mouths tightly after hearing Xiaoxiao’s mother’s shout.

The situation was indeed chaotic now. Xiaoxiao’s mother rembered her nephew’s words and reassured everyone, "This matter, don’t panic, everyone. They’re just going to endure so hardship inside; it’s no big deal. That arrest officer is my nephew, he said so just now."

Upon hearing this, the Zhong Family’s eldest aunt suddenly realized, "Oh yeah, that arrest officer is your nephew. Look how anxious I was, forgetting such a big thing."

"Oh dear, so we have soone on the inside in the governnt office. Even if they’re locked up, they should be spared from hardships, right?"

"But your nephew is just an arrest officer; he can’t make decisions for the Magistrate, can he?"
