Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1294 - 1296: Sealed

The government officers stepped forward and arrested the five elders.

With the five heads of the Zhong Family taken, everyone panicked and rushed forward. The Zhong Family was not to be trifled with; their fierceness was well-known.

They had just been subdued by the Feng Family because someone actually died, but now it was different. That matter had been resolved. How could they still arrest the whole family, and five of them at that? How could they accept this?

Everyone began to tussle with the officers, refusing to let them take the men away. The courtyard turned into chaos.

"You can’t take them! No one will take them away!"

"Exactly, you can’t take them!"

"That matter has already been privately resolved with the Feng Family. Why is the government still arresting people?"

"..."

"..."

The scene terrified the villagers; could the Zhong Family really be defying the government? Were they crazy?

The arrest officer, Guan, was speechless seeing the scene. He knew Xiaoxiao’s family would react like this.

To resolve it quickly and prevent any further wrongdoing, Guan hurried to Xiaoxiao’s mother’s side. At that moment, she was still tussling with the officers. Suddenly someone pulled her, and she shouted, "Let go of me!"

But when she turned around, she saw her nephew pulling her. Her fury instantly flared. Her nephew had brought people to raid her home, and she started pounding on him.

Guan was utterly speechless. His aunt had lost her cool completely, but he couldn’t defy the Magistrate’s orders, right?

He quickly pulled his aunt aside and shouted loudly, "Do you dare to defy the government? Are you looking for death?"

As he spoke, he winked at Xiaoxiao’s mother, who finally stopped hitting him. Her nephew leaned close and whispered, "Aunt, tell everyone to stop. If this continues, everyone will end up inside. Who will save Uncle then?"

These words snapped Xiaoxiao’s mother back to her senses. Her nephew’s voice echoed again by her ear, "Don’t worry, they will be fine. Quickly prepare the Silver to bail them out."

After saying this, Guan bellowed at the crowd, "If you don’t stop, you’ll all be taken in."

Realizing what was happening, Xiaoxiao’s mother also shouted, "Everyone, stop and let them leave. We’ve settled things with the Feng Family, they won’t be harmed." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The Zhong Family members looked at Xiaoxiao’s mother in confusion.

"Second sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law."

"Second aunt."

"..."

"..."

The message was clear; they didn’t want the officers to take the five elders of the Zhong Family away. Looking at everyone, Xiaoxiao’s mother just shook her head, signaling for everyone to listen to her.

After looking at Xiaoxiao’s mother, the family members turned to their heads. The eldest uncle of the Zhong Family was the first to speak, "Stop. They won’t do anything to us. Wait at home. We’ll be back shortly."

The other four elders of the Zhong Family nodded to their wives and children, and only then did everyone release the officers.

The courtyard finally quieted down. Seeing that things were mostly resolved, Guan announced the Magistrate’s decision, "The Zhong Family’s Stone Mountain, due to causing a death and posing dangers to people, has been sealed by the government. As for when it will be unsealed, wait for notification. During this period, do not go up the mountain to mine stones privately. Violators will be arrested."

After speaking, he waved to his subordinates, "Take them away."
