Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 99: The Village Chief Arrives
Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Village Chief Arrives
"Anping, why did you call the village chief here?" Cheng Ying saw her husband had returned, and he brought the village chief with him, which surprised her, so she asked.
To be honest, she didn’t want to trouble the village chief. Because once the village chief intervenes, the matter of her privately giving the letter to Cheng Li would inevitably become known to more people.
In this way, it was not a good thing for her.
"I was afraid you’d suffer, so I went to get the village chief." Song Anping explained. He knew what his wife was thinking, but to him, safety was more important than reputation or anything else.
With someone like Cheng Li, who knows what madness she might do. If she teamed up with Mrs. Cheng, Jiang Xue and his wife definitely wouldn’t be able to handle the two of them.
It turned out that Song Anping had run out of the yard earlier and then returned. He just hadn’t come inside, but he heard Cheng Li’s denial.
Seeing Cheng Li deny it, he thought for a moment and decided to go find the village chief to resolve it. He didn’t expect that when they arrived, they saw Cheng Li chasing Jiang Xue.
"What’s going on?" The village chief finally spoke, looking at Jiang Xue and then at Cheng Li. novelbuddy-cσ๓
The village chief was aware of the good relationship between Jiang Xue and Cheng Li. After all, his son liked Cheng Li, so he naturally paid more attention to Cheng Li’s matters.
But today, what was going on? Why was Cheng Li chasing Jiang Xue like this? Moreover, it didn’t seem like the two were playing around.
What’s more, with Cheng Ying and Song Anping, her in-law, there, what exactly happened that made Song Anping seek him out for help so early in the morning?
Earlier, when Song Anping went to find him, he wasn’t very clear, only saying that something happened to Cheng Li and asked him to uphold justice.
But who knew, he would see such a scene as soon as he arrived?
"Village chief uncle, you’re here." Cheng Ying greeted the village chief with a smile as she stepped forward. Although she was somewhat complaining about her husband bringing the village chief, she also knew that Song Anping did this for her sake.
"Yingzi, what’s going on?" The village chief was quite surprised to see Cheng Ying at Cheng Li’s house so early in the morning, as he had watched her grow up.
"Village chief uncle, this is what happened." Cheng Ying explained what happened, and the village chief frowned throughout her account, and his gaze towards Cheng Li gradually changed.
To be honest, he had a pretty good impression of Cheng Li. In addition, his son Dazhu liked her, so he took more care of Cheng Li and her mother.
He didn’t expect Cheng Li to be such a person, taking someone else’s letter, and it was a letter from the army at that. If this was pursued, it could cause big problems.
Not only would Cheng Li get into trouble, but even their village would be talked about by others.
However, he was always a fair person, so he didn’t just listen to Cheng Ying’s side of the story, but looked at Cheng Li and asked, "Xiao Li, is what Yingzi said true?"
Cheng Li bit her lip, hesitating about what to say. If she didn’t admit it, the evidence was clear. If she admitted it, she was afraid the village chief would look down on her and no longer take care of her family.
However, her silence seemed like an admission to the village chief. So, with a tone of disappointment, he said, "Xiao Li, how could you do this? Aren’t you disgracing our village? Hurry and apologize to Jiang Xue."
"Village chief uncle, me?" Cheng Li’s face turned ugly again when she heard she had to apologize to Jiang Xue. She didn’t want to apologize to Jiang Xue at all.
Although she didn’t have reason in this matter, Jiang Xue hitting her had yet to be accounted for, so she didn’t want to apologize to Jiang Xue.
"What, aren’t you listening to me now?" The village chief’s face turned dark. He wanted Cheng Li to apologize as a way for Jiang Xue not to pursue this matter further.
