Zhao Shanhai supported the old village chief and walked over. They had just started talking about this when someone went to report it to the village chief, and also mentioned that Yu Jiahe, who spread rumors, would have his tongue cut off.

Zhao Shanhai happened to be on vacation at home. When he heard that there was someone in the village who knew about the law, he became interested and came over to take a look.

He had heard of Yu Jiahe, who was a friend of his sister, but he was busy studying on weekdays and usually did not interact with people in the village. He did not expect that there was someone in the village who understood the law.

As for the matter of the Marquis's Mansion recognizing his relatives, he had never heard of it. His family members never talked about trivial matters in his ears. They just hoped that he would study hard.

Zhao Shanhai's words still carry weight. How could he not believe what Yu Jiahe said? He is a scholar and will not lie.

Li Juxiang panicked, "Do you really want to cut off my tongue?"

Zhao Shanhai raised his head and said she was right, "Not only that, he might even be beaten with a stick."

"What?" Li Juxiang exclaimed.

Just for saying a few words, he would be beaten with a stick and his tongue would be pulled out.

She used to be so arrogant because in the village, everyone would at most tell the village chief. If they could get benefits just by being scolded a few times, only a fool would not do it.

Now Yu Jiahe stood up. Just because she said a few gossips, she wanted others to pull out her tongue. She also took ten cents from her. Her hands were not chopped off.

Then you definitely can’t go to the county government office.

Thinking of this, Li Juxiang quickly begged for mercy, "I was blinded by greed, so I said those nonsense. I know I was wrong. We are all from the same village, so don't take it to the government. That would make others laugh at me."

Anyway, she is thick-skinned and saying a few words to beg for mercy is not going to cost her any flesh.

Naturally, the village chief didn't want the villagers to go to court, otherwise it would leave others with a bad impression of the village. He mediated between the two sides.

"Xiao He, since Li has already known her mistake, we should not make a scene. I will let her apologize to you and we can just let it go, okay?"

The damage caused by rumors cannot be repaired by a few apologies.

If Yu Jiahe wasn't strong inside, she might have jumped into the river after hearing such slander outside. By then, she probably wouldn't even have said an apology.

"What do you think?" The village chief asked again when he saw that Yu Jiahe disagreed. He couldn't really send the person to the county government.

"A few words of apology are too insincere. Can't you give a sincere apology?"

If Li Juxiang is not made to bleed, how will she remember this lesson? Maybe the villagers will stop gossiping about her behind her back in the future.

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "How about this? An apology plus a chicken?"

Yu Jiahe hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll listen to the village chief. I'm not such an unreasonable person."

"No!" Li Juxiang quickly refused, fearing that her chicken would fly away if she was a little slow. How could she possibly give away another chicken after only paying ten cents?

Yu Jiahe was not annoyed. "In this case, let's meet in court. I think the knife in the county government office should be very fast. I don't know if you can still speak after your tongue is cut off. But for people like you who like to gossip, this punishment is the most appropriate."

Thinking about her tongue being cut off, Li Juxiang couldn't help but shudder. Can this person survive without a tongue?

No, no, you must not cut your tongue.

Why isn't this damn girl as easy to talk to as her father?

Li Juxiang was very upset.

"Village chief, I am willing to apologize, but can you please let go of the chicken? You know how poor my family is. The chicken is for my children to nourish their bodies. If they don't have this chicken, they will become weak and won't be able to find a wife. Then our family will be extinct."

The village chief's mouth twitched slightly. It was the first time he heard someone say that a family would be extinct because of a chicken.

Yu Jiahe said, "It's the same as if you cut off your tongue. People won't want to marry into your family because their mother-in-law had her tongue cut off. It will also ensure that your family line will be extinct."

Li Juxiang didn't expect Yu Jiahe to be so stubborn and refused to give in. "Are you so hard-hearted? You can't stand seeing my family doing well."

Yu Jiahe smiled, "Your heart is nothing compared to mine. If you hadn't spread rumors everywhere, how could I have done this? It's all your own fault, you can't blame anyone else."

She was determined to make her family miserable. Li Juxiang picked out the smallest chicken and said, "I'll eat you to death. Be careful not to get pus in your mouth."

"Then it must be your mouth that rotted first."

Unable to convince her, she even threatened with the law.

Li Juxiang's life encountered Waterloo one after another. She didn't get any benefits and had to pay for them. This really made her feel painful.

"You damn bitch, I told you to keep your mouth shut. I worked so hard to earn money to buy a chicken, but you gave it away just because of a few words from me. I'll just sew your mouth shut. Don't mess with that evil star anymore. You'll never get away with anything good from her."

When Zhao Laosan heard about this, he was very angry. Who wouldn't feel sad when he gave away his chickens for nothing without even a word of thanks?

Li Juxiang nodded secretly. She really couldn't provoke Yu Jiahe anymore. The benefits she got were getting bigger and bigger, and she had never taken a chicken from anyone else's house.

Yu Jiahe was carrying a chicken, and today could be considered a fruitful day.

Although we didn't find many herbs, it stayed in the mountains and wouldn't run away. But it was different with chickens. Not everyone brought them here every day.

Although this is the smallest chicken in the Zhao family, his family has raised it with great care, so it is not small in size, weighing about eight or nine kilograms.

After this incident, I guess there will be fewer people gossiping about me in the village.

Yu Jiahe continued to study medicine with peace of mind.

Who would have thought that a large string of firecrackers would be set off at the doorstep early the next morning.

The Yu family members who were having dinner looked at each other, none of them understood what was going on outside. Why was it so lively? Why were they setting off firecrackers when it wasn't New Year's? And they didn't hear that anyone was going to get married.

Yu Jiaye opened the door and wanted to take a look.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw things all over the floor and a strange but somewhat familiar old man.

"You are?"

Shi Junya was about to knock on the door when someone came to open it and quickly told them to move the things in.

"No, who are you and why are you giving gifts to my family?"

Yu Jiaye blocked the door and wouldn't let those people in. How could the family afford to take so many things away for no reason?

Yu Jiahe followed and looked at the old man at the door, calling out uncertainly, "Master?"

Isn’t my sister’s master Doctor Shi? But he doesn’t look like this.
