Don't worry, I have food, money and space.

Chapter 141 Punishment of the Old Xia Family

When the village chief saw Xia Chengan lying on the bed unharmed, he thought the child was just frightened and was sleeping in the bed, so he just took a look and left.

"Ye, kid An is back now, you can relax now." The village chief said as he sat aside and took a sip of hot tea.

Ye knew this was the truth, but when she thought about how her son was harmed to this extent because of the Xia family, she was extremely angry: "Third Uncle, my Fairy An'er has returned, but I only have one idea, that is, I want to report to the authorities. I want to send all the people in the Xia family who were involved in this incident to the government."

The village chief frowned slightly. If this matter was reported to the government, the reputation of Shanghe Village would be ruined. The village chief thought for a while and said, "Ye, originally it would be best for me to report this matter to the government, but you should also think about it. There are so many girls and boys in our village."

"This year, thanks to Xin Yatou, every family has made a lot of money, and several families have decided to rebuild their houses when spring comes."

When Ye heard this, she opened her mouth to refute, but the village chief raised his hand to stop her: "Ye, I know you feel bad. An'er has been through this twice for no reason at such a young age, so Third Uncle thinks that you should not report it to the police. We..."

Ye Wenshan slapped the table and it broke. "What do you mean by this? Do you want my family to swallow this bitter fruit? In the past, the Xia family bullied my Shuang'er because she had no mother's family to rely on. Now, we are here, and we will never allow them to bully people like this again."

The village chief was frightened by Ye Wenshan's move and his pupils shrank, but he quickly came to his senses: "Hey, brother, can you please listen to me first? I haven't even finished what I'm saying. Why are you so angry?"

Ye Wenshan snorted and turned his head to look away: "Okay, keep talking. If you dare to go to them, you should weigh my fist carefully to see how heavy it is."

"Ye, An will take the imperial examination in the future, so sending his family to prison is not a good idea. The things the Xia family did are really not human."

"We can't let those beasts tarnish our reputation, but you can solve it in your own way. Just treat it as an illness. In this way, An can continue to study, and there will be no stain, don't you think? Besides, this way, your revenge will be avenged, and the scourge of the village will be gone."

In fact, the village chief's idea coincided with Xia Yanxin's: "Third Grandpa, what you said makes sense. This way, our uncle will all benefit. I hope there won't be any accidents in the middle."

"Oh, what kind of accident could have happened? He just died of illness. It's winter, and there's a snowstorm and illness. It's not surprising that someone died."

The village chief seemed to speak very easily, but in fact, it was quite difficult for him to make such a decision as the head of a village. However, this approach was the best decision for the village.

Helian didn't want to let these people go, but he also knew that Zhou was not from Shanghe Village, and the village chief had no right to make any decisions: "Village chief, you are not going to take care of the people of the old Xia family, what about the Zhou family? This time my grandson was sold to the capital, but Zhou also had a share."

Speaking of Zhou, the village chief was a little embarrassed: "This Zhou is really not that easy to deal with. After all, she is not from our village."

Xia Yanxin calmed down and said, "Zhou is easy to deal with. As long as Third Grandpa can let her go home, this person still believes in returning to her roots."

The village chief looked at Xia Yanxin in surprise: "Xin girl, do you have any ideas? But I tell you, you must not get involved in these things. You are still a virgin."

“Third Grandpa, don’t worry, I am still the same girl as before, and I will not be alienated from the people in the village because of these things.”

The village chief glared at Xia Yanxin and said, "Oh, what are you saying? You call me Third Grandpa, so you are still my granddaughter. How can I not think of you?"

"Okay, I'll go back first. The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. I don't think I can go out." The village chief looked outside with a worried look on his face.

Third Grandpa, wait a minute. I have something else to ask you: "Third Grandpa, after this snowstorm, when the snow on the mountains, the ground, and the roofs melts, will the village be in danger? Will the water level in the river rise?"

The village chief stopped and looked back at Xia Yanxin: "What else can we do? We can only solve the current predicament first. How can we have the energy to think about what will happen next?"

Xia Yanxin pondered and said, "Village Chief, how about we dig a deep pit next to the village or by the river? You see, we have so much snow. Let's put all the snow in the pit, and when the snow melts next year, we can drain it out little by little?"

The village chief looked at Xia Yanxin hesitantly: "Is this...will this work?"

Xia Yanxin said honestly: "Village Chief, I don't know if it will work. This is just a solution I came up with temporarily."

"Third Grandfather, I've been walking around outside these past few days. I think after the snowstorm, if the court can provide effective disaster relief, it will be fine. If not, many people will be displaced. At that time, we still have to be prepared for safety reasons."

The village chief was really frightened this time: "Then...what should we do? Xin'er, what do you think we should do next?"

Xia Yanxin smiled and said, "Third Grandpa, you are the village chief, how can you ask me this?"

The village chief calmed down at this time and said to Xia Yanxin: "Third grandfather knows that you are a capable girl. Since you have brought it up, you must have an idea. You might as well tell it to Third grandfather."

Xia Yanxin really didn't know how to respond: "Third Grandpa, I really can't think of any solution for this. How about Third Grandpa let me think about it and I'll tell you in a few days. After all, this is still a far-fetched thing."

The village chief nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you think about it carefully, and I will think about it carefully too. We must always plan ahead."

In the face of this snowstorm, the village chief's precautionary approach was praised by the county magistrate. It was also because of this precautionary approach that the village chief reaped the benefits, so he now likes to do such things.

"Xin girl, I'm going to find someone to dig a hole first. You need to keep this matter in mind and think about it carefully."

Xia Yanxin stopped the village chief from leaving again: "Third Grandpa, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
