Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 909 - 911: Foolish, You’re So Foolish

The villagers were quite perplexed by Shitou’s actions.

"Yeah, Shitou, why did you poison everyone?"

"What did we ever do to offend you?"

"What kind of deep-seated grudge do you have?"

"You truly have no conscience, isn’t this harming our village? What are we supposed to do if the governnt office cos to slaughter the village?"

"..."

"..."

Facing the villagers’ questioning, Shitou remained silent, refusing to reveal why he poisoned them.

Shitou’s deanor made the Village Chief heartbroken, as he coldly spoke, "Shitou, since this is the case, you shall pay with your life, prepare for cremation."

"Village Chief, no, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I’ll never dare again, spare ."

Xiaoxiao was speechless, wondering just how backward this village was, resorting frequently to vigilante justice when sothing happened. Cremation seed like sothing they did often.

Over at Yang Family Village, they never heard of such things happening in Stone Village.

Xiaoxiao almost wanted to vent, feeling fortunate not to have traveled to such a village, imagining how much trouble that would be.

Hearing about cremation, Yang Ming stepped forward and persuaded, "Village Chief, cremation doesn’t solve the problem. We should find out why he poisoned the villagers to prevent it from happening again and also figure out where the poison ca from and how to cure the villagers."

At this mont, the Village Chief felt quite embarrassed facing Yang Ming, having inexplicably blad the matter on an outsider, only to find out the culprit was one of their own.

Confronted with this event, he felt deeply ashad, valuing Yang Ming’s suggestion more than before.

So he turned to Shitou, speaking coldly, "Shitou, I’ll give you one last chance, tell us, why did you poison the villagers?"

But faced with the Village Chief’s questioning, Shitou stubbornly refused to speak.

The Village Chief was furious, shouting, "Arrest him, take him to be cremated now."

Swiftly, Shitou was seized and escorted by the villagers towards the cremation square.

Yang Ming shook his head, feeling quite helpless, thinking that Shitou was timid and afraid, having seen him gamble and win just now, he assud Shitou wouldn’t hold out much longer before confessing.

Indeed, before taking a few steps, Shitou began to shout, "Village Chief, I don’t want to be cremated, I don’t want to be cremated, let go, I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."

"Let him go first, let’s hear him speak." The Village Chief called out to the villagers.

Only then did the villagers halt their steps toward the cremation square, waiting for Shitou to reveal the truth.

Finding no other way, fearing for his life, Shitou had no choice but to speak, "It was... it was Silver who made do it."

At these words, the villagers seed to realize suddenly.

"That unscrupulous Silver, he must hate us for not selling him the land."

"This is his way of seeking revenge against us."

"He’s too ruthless, wanting to take all our lives."

"..."

"..."

By this ti, Shitou was already crying uncontrollably, as he lanted, "Everyone knows my mother has been sick in bed for years and is almost dying, I don’t have Silver to treat her. Because everyone wouldn’t sell the land, Silver said he wanted to teach everyone a lesson, so he found , offering Silver, and I lost my senses at the sight of money."

Hearing this, the Village Chief felt deeply anguished, "Foolish, you are foolish indeed."

"Village Chief, I didn’t really want to harm everyone, Silver said it was just a lesson and wouldn’t really take anyone’s life."
