Chapter 591 I don't have it, it wasn't me

a dish, she simply made a chicken egg soup. Mu shi needed food that was easy to digest and nutritious. Finally, she seasoned some wild vegetables with vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt.This lun...Hu Ai-lan was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face ashen.

"You, you're talking nonsense."

Zong Bai squatted down and gave her a playful smile.

"You'll know if it's nonsense after you hear what my sister-in-law has to say."

Zong Bai grabbed Hu Ai Lan and threw her back to the front of the crowd. Fang Jinxiu quietly gave Zong Bai a thumbs-up.

This evening's performance wouldn't be the same without Hu Ai-lan.

"Li Gou has a history with our family, I believe everyone knows that."

"That's why I didn't let the Li family members work on the mountain back then. It was to prevent them from coming up here for personal revenge and causing trouble."

"I thought I had everything covered, but I still couldn't stop Li Gou's underhanded tactics."

"Since he couldn't come to the mountain himself, he sent his two cousins up. As for what kind of terms Li Gou used to persuade his cousins, I think I'd have to ask the two of them personally."

"Pull the person out."

Zhao Yi and Zhao Er pushed Li Gou's two cousins to the center of the open space. The two men avoided each other's gaze, keeping their heads bowed low.

"We don't know what you're talking about, my cousin is already dead. Do you still want to take it out on us"

Fang Jinshi smiled, "Yes, he's dead. Why are you still covering for him"

"Do your families also have people to support To be honest, I can keep you employed and let you continue working here to earn a living for your families."

"Now, besides my place here in the village, where else can you go to get a bite to eat"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and simultaneously lowered their heads.

"Alright, we're good."

"You need to keep your word and not fire us."

Although Fang Jinshu was smiling, her eyes were cold as ice.

Of course.

The whole village held its breath, waiting for the truth.

"Yes, Li Gou did promise us that after we go up the mountain, he will let us teach you a lesson."

"You know the reason, your past conflicts caused quite a stir."

"What promises did Li Gou give you" Fang Jinxiu asked directly.

"Yes, it's a large sum of money. He also said that after the deal is done, he will become the head of the gang. Then, according to him, we can follow him and live a good life."

Upon hearing this, even Village Chief Wang was taken aback.

"Will he become the manager"

"What a joke! They wouldn't even let him go to the top of the mountain, how could he possibly become the headman and promise you rations"

The villagers also found it strange.

"That's right, Li Gou's attitude is too big, isn't it Who gave him the guts to make such a promise to others."

"It's crazy that these two uncles actually believed it, aren't they foolish"

"They're not really stupid," Fang Jinshu said with a cold smile.

"You're also curious why Li Gou dared to make such a promise, right Of course, it's because someone else made a promise to Li Gou too."

The villagers erupted in an uproar once again.

"What Did someone else promise Li Gou something"

"No, this just keeps getting weirder."

Zong Bai stepped forward and replied, “This is nothing strange at all.”

To put it plainly, this whole thing is aimed at my sister-in-law and our family's mountain.

Think about it, during this time, who has been at odds with my sister-in-law the most, who has caused us trouble the most

"If my sister-in-law is driven away, who benefits the most"

Fang Jinxiu lowered her head and smiled, exchanging a glance with Zong Yu.

Zong Bai this kid is really getting more and more promising, this set of rhetoric said one after another.

With every word he spoke, Hu Ai-lan's face grew paler.

What on earth is Fang Jinshi trying to do Could she have found out something

It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Li Gou is dead; no one knows she ever sought him out back then.

Hu Ai-lan nervously swallowed, her eyes darting back and forth. She realized that every escape route had been blocked by villagers.

"Zong Bai, just stop playing coy. Do you know who ordered Li Gou to do this Just tell us directly."

"I said, who can be more believable than hearing it from these two cousins of Li Gou."

The two people were glared at harshly by Zong Yu, and immediately they trembled all over with fear, their legs went weak and they fell to their knees.

Let's talk, shall we

"It's Hu's girl. She's the one who misled my cousin, making us look for opportunities to kill Fang Jinxiu on the mountain. She even said that if we can't kill her, it's good enough to give her more trouble."

Hu Ailan immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"

"I don't, it wasn't me."

But her expression was panicked, she almost wrote the words "guilty" on her face.don't we go into the city together first and report this to the county magistrate We can bring some yamen officers with us to deal with those bandits. There's safety in numbers."Zong Yu shook his head...
