After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 133: Take Control of the Home Field

"The village chief is here? I’ve just walked in the door." ng Yao spoke enthusiastically, "This trip to the county expanded my horizons greatly, and I bought quite a few things to bring back. I even got a wooden hairpin for sister-in-law, intending to send it over soon. Now that you’re here, it’s perfect for you to take it back for ."

Good attitude, and there’s sothing for his wife.

The village chief’s previously stern face relaxed a bit.

"I really shouldn’t accept it, how can I take your things? Bringing along so many kids is no easy task, and still thinking about my wife while you’re out!" The village chief hesitated before replying.

"I get along well with sister-in-law, and it just happened by chance, it’s nothing valuable. You’ve always looked after Dahe, isn’t it right for us to show so appreciation?" ng Yao replied smoothly.

"Dahe’s mother, you’re too polite."

You don’t hit a smiling face, and the village chief’s tone beca even gentler.

The air of sternness almost completely dissipated, and ng Yao felt it was enough but continued to maintain the upper hand, inviting the village chief, "Co on in and sit down. I’ll let Dahe tell you about his recent exam, you have experience, you can help analyze it."

The village chief valued scholars the most and genuinely paid a lot of attention to Zhao Dahe’s studies.

With this, the initiative was entirely in ng Yao’s hands.

Zhao Dahe responded and ca out, greeting the village chief with polite bows.

The village chief, having participated in exams several tis, though with poor results, had experience and was eager to discuss such topics, naturally starting to inquire with Zhao Dahe.

In front of outsiders, Zhao Dahe was definitely the ideal child.

He answered appropriately, with perfect manners.

Listening to Zhao Dahe’s humble yet confident words, the village chief was very excited.

"Good, good, good, if you make the list, it’s not only a joyous event for the Zhao family, but for the entire Shanghua Village." The village chief slapped his thigh.

"Dahe’s mother, you’ve done well in educating the child so well."

ng Yao also received a complint incidentally.

"It’s all thanks to the care you and sister-in-law give our family on a daily basis." ng Yao casually flattered, who doesn’t like to hear nice words?

"It’s only right, it’s only right." The village chief grinned widely.

"We’ve been focusing on talking about Dahe’s exam and haven’t even asked you, you ca over suddenly, surely there must be sothing?" ng Yao brought the topic back around.

The village chief slapped his forehead, oh right, he ca today to hold soone accountable.

Got so carried away talking earlier, he forgot the main point.

"You just got back, they probably haven’t told you yet, have they?" The village chief cleared his throat.

"Just got back, Xiu’er and the others are busy tidying things up, Xiao Hua reluctantly ntioned that she caused a small trouble, I haven’t had the chance to ask in detail yet?" ng Yao played dumb.

"She knows she caused trouble? Just a small trouble? Soone almost lost their life, is this a small trouble?" The village chief’s tone grew stern again.

ng Yao quickly followed his lead, "What do you an?"

The village chief, full of righteous indignation, recounted what Mrs. Han had tearfully told ng Yao.

ng Yao appeared to humbly listen on the surface but was silently criticizing in her heart, in Mrs. Han’s account, her son was entirely blaless.

"ng, you’re also raising a child on your own, you understand how difficult it can be. Mrs. Han was a lady of a prominent family, bringing her child to settle in our Shanghua Village, which was difficult to begin with. It’s only right for us to look after them a bit more, right?" The village chief said with heartfelt sincerity.

"Yes, you’re right, it’s not easy. We’re not talking about taking care of them, but definitely not bullying them." ng Yao replied righteously.

"You’ve done well teaching Dahe, but you can’t just teach one, right? Xiao Hua isn’t young anymore, many at her age in the village are starting to receive proposals." The village chief said, "Getting proposals ans growing up! A grown-up needs to act appropriately, right?"

ng Yao agreed verbally.

While thinking to herself, no, our Xiao Hua is still a child. (This is not ant sarcastically.)

"How can a girl be so rough and malicious? How can she tie Young Master Han to a tree to blow cold wind?" The village chief said with distress.

ng Yao replied solemnly, "I agree and accept what you said before this. However, I do not agree with what you just said. Roughness aside, using malicious to describe her... didn’t you watch Xiao Hua grow up? Don’t you know the nature of this child? Labeling her as malicious would ruin her reputation."

Confronted with ng Yao’s question, the village chief paused, realizing the words seed inappropriate. He hadn’t thought much about it, as Mrs. Han had used those words, and he rely repeated them.

Without waiting for him to explain, ng Yao continued, "Tying soone to a tree isn’t great, but did you find out why Xiao Hua did such a thing?"

What did Mrs. Han say? Oh right, Xiao Hua’s young heart blossod, got rejected, and in anger and sha...

Though Mrs. Han was vague, that’s approximately how he understood it.

"ng, climbing branches to beco a phoenix is not so easy." The village chief spoke earnestly.

ng Yao sneered, "You an Xiao Hua was clinging to Han Muchi, got rejected, and in anger and sha, did such a thing? May I ask, was this a fact seen by soone, or just ’facts’ said by soone’s mouth?"

Isn’t this all the sa? Could Mrs. Han be making things up about Xiao Hua?

"Xiao Hua saved Han Muchi’s life, this is well known." ng Yao stated.

The village chief nodded, "Indeed."

"Young Master Han believes that since Xiao Hua and he had skin contact, even as the one being saved, he should take responsibility and is willing to do so. Thus, Mrs. Han ca to propose marriage afterwards. Of course, only our two families know about this matter." ng Yao continued.

The village chief: ???

"Young Master Han is a young prodigy, liked by all. Logically, with the Han Family proposing, we’d have no reason to refuse. But Xiao Hua believes that saving people is the duty of a dical practitioner, not bound by conventional ethics. Hence, we refused the Han family’s proposal while accepting Mrs. Han’s consultation fee, agreeing between both parties not to ntion this matter again." ng Yao explained.

The village chief, stunned, "Is that so?"

"Young Master Han is a scholar, sentintal and just, with the scholar’s pride and stubbornness, feeling responsible where responsibility is due, even ca personally. Xiao Hua also refused face to face, very clearly. So I don’t understand, how could there be any talk of Xiao Hua clinging to Young Master Han?" ng Yao’s voice grew increasingly chilly.

"This..." The village chief was at a loss for how to respond.

"I’ve explained the situation clearly, but how this matter stands cannot rely solely on Mrs. Han’s account, it deserves a confrontation from both sides, right?" ng Yao asked, "That would be fair, wouldn’t it? You’ve always been known for your fairness."

ng Yao did not forget to add a bit of flattery to the village chief at the end.
