nThe Junior Officer’s words meant that he had decided to banish Old An from the village. The Chief’s eyelids twitched. He had a bad feeling.

n

n“Junior Officer, I’m not trying to do anything to anyone. It’s just that Aunt Wang is too much of a bully. Since she dares to bring Ministry Councilor He here, she might do something worse next time.”

n

nAn Jiuyue glanced at the Chief before looking at Old An and his wife.

n

nMinistry Councilor He thought he should not go overboard with beating them up. With his servants holding him by the arm, he instructed his thugs to retreat.

n

nHowever, they were really beaten up badly, lying motionlessly on the ground although no one was hitting them anymore.

n

nAn Jiuyue remarked faintly, “I wonder if there is anyone in town who has contracted the disease. What happens if Aunt Wang brought someone with the disease in?”

n

nThe Chief and the Junior Officer gasped in unison.

n

nWhen the men around them heard that, they looked at Ministry Councilor He’s group in horror as if they were the source of the disease.

n

n“Chief, what do we do now?”

n

n“Chief, did Aunt Wang leave the village already? Otherwise, how did Ministry Councilor He and the others come here?”

n

n“This family is so detestable! We didn’t even notice when they left the village! If I saw them, I would’ve definitely broken their legs!”

n

nA few men glared at the two motionless people on the ground.

n

nThe Chief’s heart skipped a beat.

n

nNobody knows when these two left the village. What if they really brought the epidemic disease in?

n

nWhat’s the most important thing now?

n

nIt’s not about whether An Jiuyue’s child would be taken away or how detestable Old An’s family is. The epidemic is the most important!

n

nHow will the villagers survive if the epidemic disease finds its way into the village?

n

nOn the other hand, the Junior Officer did not consider as much. He walked up to the couple and kicked them.

n

n“Why are you still lying there? Get up!”

n

nOld An, already in pain, cried out when he was kicked again.

n

nHowever, he did not dare disobey the Junior Officer and sat up with difficulty. When he saw his wife still lying down, he kicked her.

n

nAunt Wang whimpered a little. She stood up, snot and tears everywhere, and hunched over.

n

nThe Junior Officer yelled at them, “Spill! When did you leave the village?”

n

nAunt Wang was startled. She took a step back instinctively and looked at Old An timidly.

n

nThis was not the time for her to stand out. She should leave it to the man.

n

nOld An did not dare to hide anything from the Junior Officer and explained, “L-Last night, this woman and my eldest son planned to sell An Jiuyue’s child. They left the village and contacted Ministry Councilor He.”

n

nHowever, he pushed all the blame on his wife and son as he did not want to be chased out of the village.

n

nAunt Wang was shocked and lifted her head up quickly.

n

nShe would have a hard time in the future if the Junior Officer held her responsible for everything.

n

nShe would definitely be divorced and sent back to her parents. She was already old and did not want to cause such an embarrassing matter.
