Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi saw Liu Zhanggui arrive and felt even more relieved.

Chai Mi knew Liu Zhanggui well. He was a master at muddying the waters. Because he had been young and worked away from home for years, meeting all sorts of people, he had developed the habit of speaking human speech to people and ghost speech to ghosts.

Wandering around for years had made him habitually avoid offending people. So, although he had only been village chief for a year, his reputation was surprisingly good, and everyone said this village chief Liu Zhanggui was far better than the previous few village chiefs.

At least, he knew not to harm others. His words and actions had reason and evidence behind them.

Chai Zhongxiao saw the iron hoe in his hand was gone, glared at Liu Zhanggui, and said: "Our family's affairs don't need the village to manage."

(The village means the village, a habitual phrase; I can write more comfortably.)

"Sigh..." Liu Zhanggui reached out and embraced the somewhat impulsive Chai Zhongxiao, who still wanted to go up onto the roof, and said: "Seventh Uncle, you're in this situation now, and it's still a family matter? Whose family matter makes such a big show?"

"It's all Chai Mi forcing us; otherwise my third son wouldn't have broken his leg." Wang Huirong said viciously: "This girl has gone mad; she doesn't even put her own uncle, her own grandparents, in her eyes. She wants to kill someone. Is there still any law?"

Liu Zhanggui hurriedly persuaded Wang Huirong: "Seventh Aunt, look at what you're saying. Whose family doesn't have some bumps and scrapes? I saw it all just now. This You De brother just had bad luck; the ladder broke, and that's why he fell... In my opinion, maybe this is a good thing..."

Chai Mi, on the roof, was completely confused: Hiss... how exactly is this Liu Zhanggui going to smooth this over?

"As the old saying goes, sometimes when life doesn't go smoothly, there must be a villain behind it bewitching people's hearts. Either lose money to avoid disaster, or suffer injury to save your life. You've had such bad luck these past few years; nothing goes right no matter what you do. As village chief, I can't say that the place where your Seventh Uncle's father is buried isn't good enough. But after the old man left the ancestral tomb, it's desolate and withered. Maybe it's your third son it wanted, maybe it favors your third son, and that's why your third son had an accident." Liu Zhanggui said it with a nose and eyes—convincingly detailed.

Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong were both stunned.

What Liu Zhanggui said really wasn't wrong. Ever since Chai Zhongxiao's old father passed away and was buried on that piece of land behind Wuhu Mountain, the family had truly been having bad luck in everything...

This really might be an omen of a great disaster.

"Your third son is lucky; he only broke a leg..." Liu Zhanggui said without blinking: "This counts as saving his life. Falling from such a high roof—if he hadn't landed properly, his head would have hit the ground first, and he'd be dead. In my opinion, Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt, you should think of it in a good light. No major harm to the person—that's already a great fortune."

Chai You De: "......"

Chai Zhongxiao and his wife: "......"

"Well... well, it's also because Chai Mi scared our third son. I won't pursue anything else. But since the third son's leg is broken, his wife knows about it, and she definitely won't let it go easily." Chai Zhongxiao said somewhat guiltily.

Chai You De's wife Che Lianyun was not easy to deal with; she was truly the kind who gets along with no one. Although she held the identity of a community teacher, she was an extremely fierce and ruthless person, and Chai Zhongxiao couldn't afford to provoke her.

"Right, right, right. Chai Mi owes me an explanation for this." Chai You De glanced at Chai Mi: "I won't pursue anything else. After all, I'm her biological third uncle, and I'll show some high moral integrity once. But the medical fees, nutrition fees, lost work fees, and mental distress fees—none of those can be missing."
