Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1293 - 1295: Who to Arrest?

This Stone Mountain is the property of the old Zhong Family.

The old man Zhong has passed away, and after his passing, the five brothers of the old Zhong Family divided the household, each living their own lives, but the Stone Mountain was not divided.

Profits are divided equally among the five families, and naturally, any trouble that arises must also be shared equally.

Old Zhong didn’t think twice and directly accepted the silver.

The elder Zhong looked at Yang Ming with increasing fondness, feeling that Xiaoxiao indeed had good taste, choosing this son-in-law who stood up for their old Zhong Family by leveraging his scholarly aspirations. He generously praised, "Yang Ming, we’re all grateful for you in this matter."

Others also found Yang Ming more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, we owe it to Yang Ming."

"You, kid, Xiaoxiao didn’t misjudge you."

"..."

"..."

Faced with everyone’s praise, Yang Ming simply replied, "I am also part of the old Zhong Family, so naturally, I must help."

Old Zhong’s eyes glistened with gratitude. If not for Yang Ming coming today, their Dalong might have ended up taking his own life, "Everyone quickly come inside."

As they spoke, everyone entered the house. Xiaoxiao originally wanted to step out to help with the matter, but seeing Yang Ming already intervening outside, she felt reassured, and indeed, the issue was resolved perfectly, albeit at the cost of one hundred silver taels.

However, the incident happened on their family’s mountain, and there’s no way to avoid responsibility, especially since a person died. That person was someone close to Zhong Dalong, and if not for them, it might have been their family’s Zhong Dalong who died. So, the silver spent was not wasted.

After entering the house, everyone praised Yang Ming to Xiaoxiao, who kept laughing happily.

Seeing everyone chatting warmly and playing with the children, Yang Ming stepped outside to bring the things he brought from the carriage into the house.

Xiaoxiao saw Yang Ming bringing the items in, and seeing all the relatives present, she began distributing the things. "These fabrics are for the aunties and sisters-in-law, these wines are for the elder uncles and brothers, and these snacks are for the children. Every family gets a share."

Seeing that Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming had bought quite a lot of goods, and each family received a share, the relatives were overjoyed.

"Xiaoxiao, auntie hasn’t loved you in vain."

"Our family only has one daughter, who else would we love? Even if you didn’t buy anything, it would be fine, but we’re really happy with the gifts."

"Indeed, happy."

"Hahaha."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere at old Zhong’s house finally improved somewhat thanks to Xiaoxiao’s family of three arriving, and it no longer felt so gloomy after the trouble.

"Xiaoxiao, this matter just happened yesterday, how did it spread to your village so fast?"

"Oh, I was just feeling homesick and came back to have a look, not realizing the family was in such a big trouble." Xiaoxiao was truly relieved she returned at this time, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what the family would be like; her brother might have even ended up giving his life for someone else.

The Zhong family hadn’t conversed inside for long when there was noise and commotion outside, raising the family’s tension. Could it be the Feng family people came back again?

Everyone rushed out to see, only to find that government officers had come, accompanied by quite a few villagers, here to watch the spectacle.

Leading them was arrest officer Guan, who spoke, "An incident occurred at Stone Mountain, someone died, and Lord County Magistrate ordered us to come and arrest people for questioning."

"Who to arrest?" everyone asked in unison.

"Stone Mountain belongs to you five brothers of the Zhong Family, the magistrate orders me to bring you five brothers back." Arrest officer Guan said while waving his hand.
