Chapter 232: Can ‘t Report It to the Officials

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jidong was a little surprised to see Su Xiaoqin. “Village Chief, why are you here?”

Su Xiaoqin panted and said, “Something happened, something big happened!”

Su Jidong was shocked. “What’s the matter? Could it be that the villagers were really poisoned?”

Su Xiaoqin hurriedly nodded. “That’s right. The villagers drank the water from the well and after a while, they really became exactly the same as those people from the well!”

Now, everyone was so frightened that they stopped drinking water!

Su Jidong sighed. “Sigh, we’ve already reminded them. Why didn’t they listen!”

Su Xiaoqin said, “Now is not the time to talk about this. Quickly go and see those people and think of a way to save them!”

Su Jidong looked troubled. “Village Chief, you’re making things difficult for us. We’re the same as everyone else. How can we save them!”

They were not doctors or immortals. What could they use to save someone who had been poisoned?

Su Xiaoqin questioned, “Didn’t you say that you could help if something happened? Now that something has really happened, you guys have such expressions. Could it be that the poison in the well was really released by you?”

Otherwise, why would Su Jidong’s family be the only ones to meet the problem? Were there really so many coincidences in this world?

Su Li snorted and said, “Village Chief, if you have doubts, report it to the officials. I believe the officials will clear our names.’

Report to the authorities? He couldn’t report to the authorities!’

When Su Xiaoqin heard Su Li’s words, he panicked a little. If he reported it to the officials, wouldn’t everyone know that the people in their village had become like that?

They might even be locked up. If they couldn’t be cured, they might as well burn them down.

“That’s not what I meant. I was too anxious just now and spoke without thinking. Don’t take it to heart.”

Su Xiaoqin’s tone was not as unyielding as before.

Su Li didn’t buy it and said, “If everyone is suspected when they do good deeds, I don’t think anyone will stand up when they encounter such a thing next time.”

Su Ze said excitedly, “We kindly reminded everyone. Now that everyone is poisoned, they’re blaming us? You don’t even look at the culprits tied up. You’re just biting people like a mad dog.”

When Su Xiaoqin heard the word “mad dog”, anger flashed across his face.

Su Jidong slapped Su Ze. “Rascal, how can you say that?”

Didn’t he see that the village chief’s face had already turned the color of pig liver?

Su Ze muttered softly, “If they dare to do it, why do they not allow others to talk about it?”

Su Jidong picked up the broom on the ground and was about to hit Su Ze when Su Ze ran away.

Riceball also chased after Su Ze. For a moment, the courtyard became lively.

Su Xiaoqin rubbed his head. He did not come here to watch the show. The pile of rotten things in the village was still waiting for him to resolve!

“Alright, alright, stop fighting. Everyone, quickly think of a way!”

Su Jidong stopped when he heard Su Xiaoqin’s words. He thought for a moment and said.

“There’s nothing we can do about this. Everyone doesn’t listen to us. We can only stop those who haven’t drunk the water and tell them to stop drinking. If there’s really no water at home, we should think of a way to go to the mountain and bring some back. Anyway, the water in the well can’t be drunk.”

Su Xiaoqin quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ve thought of this method long ago, but I haven’t had the time to tell everyone!”

Actually, when he saw the villagers become like that, his soul was so frightened that it flew away. He only remembered that he had come to look for Su Jidong and his family to ask for help.

Su Li chuckled when she saw Su Xiaoqin like this. Their village chief was indeed exactly as the rumors said. He did not have any opinions at all. When he encountered anything, he was even worse than an ordinary villager.

Su Li looked at Su Xiaoqin and raised an opinion. “Since the people in the village were poisoned, we definitely have to invite a doctor over. After all, they would be the specialized personnel. There’s nothing we can do.”

If Cheng Yu could cover for her, she wouldn’t have to be in the limelight.

Su Xiaoqin glanced at Su Li and said, “I’ve already thought of this method, but as the village chief, I definitely can’t leave. I can only let you invite the doctor.”

If he went to get a doctor, he would have to spend a lot of money. Besides, his old bones would not be able to travel for such a distance!

Su Li saw through his thoughts at a glance and said, “It might take more time to walk. I don’t know if the villagers can afford to wait. I’m afraid that before the doctor is invited, the villagers will die!”

“Also, it doesn’t matter if we walk for a while. It’s just that this doctor is abnormally precious. I don’t know if he’s willing to follow us for such a long distance. If he doesn’t want to come when he sees that he’s going to walk, what will happen to the people in the village?”

He wanted them to make the sacrifice? No way!

When Su Xiaoqin heard Su Li’s words, the corners of his mouth twitched. “Isn’t this all for the sake of the villagers? Why are you so calculative? Pay for it yourself!”

Let them pay for it?

Then, this matter was left unsettled. Did they really think they were stupid?!

Su Li rolled her eyes in her heart. She looked at Su Xiaoqin and said awkwardly, “Village Chief, look at our family’s conditions. There are so many mouths needing food the moment we open our eyes. Our family can’t afford it!”

Su Ze nodded at the side. “Village Chief, look, I haven’t married yet. The biggest reason is that my family is poor and can’t even fork out a single copper coin.

That’s why no one is willing to marry me.”

Trying to take advantage of their family? Impossible!

Su Xiaoqin was speechless.

Didn’t he know why other girls didn’t marry Su Ze?

It was not because they were poor at all, but because their family was in a mess.

Su Xiaoqin still did not give up. He did not want to fork out this money, so he had to find a sucker. He looked at Yao Jun. free(w)ebnovel

Yao Jun shrugged. “Village Chief, don’t count on me. I’m someone don’t even have the money to eat.”

Su Xiaoqin saw that each of them was more miserable than the other, so he could only pay out of his own pocket!

“I’ll fork out the money today, but you have to return it to me in the future!”

Su Ze didn’t even look at the money and said disdainfully, “Then we don’t dare to take it. We’re not the ones who are poisoned, and we’re not the ones who need a doctor. We’re helping run errands, so why are you asking us to return the money?”

Su Xiaoqin’s face darkened as he scolded Su Ze again and again in his heart. “It was a slip of the tongue. I meant for those people to return the money. Take the money and quickly get a doctor. Don’t waste time here.”

This money was the village’s income. If there was anything major in the village, it would be taken out and included in the repair of roads, canals, and so on.

However, it was impossible for such a major things to happen in the village.. They still wanted him to take out the silver that had entered his pocket? Dream on!
