Chapter 377: Quibbling, Closing the School

"No, no, sir, I didn't!"

Chen is not stupid. Village Chief Zhao and Shen Xiangwan are all here. How could she possibly admit it?

"roll!"

"Snapped···"

"what!"

The black man slapped her hard in the face with his backhand. Chen staggered to the side for several steps, and her face became swollen. The people around her couldn't help but point fingers at them again, but there were very few people who looked at Shen Xiangwan and the Wei family with ambiguous expressions. It was obvious that they were suspicious of something, but they didn't dare to say it in front of her. After all, their children were still studying in the Wei family school.

"I can testify that everything Xiao Zhou said is true."

“We can too!”

Seeing that the woman still wanted to deny it, Wu Lixiu took the lead and stepped out, followed by Zhou Changyun and others. Zhao Dashan's face was extremely ugly: "Fourth Uncle, this matter was caused by your granddaughter-in-law, what do you say we should do?"

"this···"

The man he called Fourth Uncle looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with wrinkles all over his face and a hunched back. He didn't know what to do for a moment and kept looking at Shen Xiangwan and his wife.

"You jinx, do you think you can steal the things of the Wei family's children? Boss, beat me up. If you kill me, I will find you a new wife."

A woman in her forties suddenly jumped out and pointed at Chen and cursed her. She wanted to skin her alive. Was the Wei family someone they could mess with? Who gave her the courage to snatch things from the Wei family's children? She even dared to slander the Wei family. Did she want to kill them all?
"No, mother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Goudan, please help me beg your milk!"

Hearing this, Chen ignored the pain on her cheek and crawled over to hug the woman's legs. Before this, she really didn't expect that the matter would become so serious. In the past, she had taken advantage of the village by throwing tantrums. Under the circumstances at that time, she subconsciously thought that as long as she made a fuss, she would definitely get a lot of benefits. But she never dreamed that before the Wei family had spoken, her mother-in-law spoke first and asked her husband to beat her to death and then marry another one. How could this be possible? Now their life was good, and she didn't want to be beaten to death.

"Milk···"

"Shut up, I love you so much in vain."

Goudan was about to open his mouth, but the woman glared back at him. She was not stupid. If she didn't give the Wei family an explanation, how could they let it go?

"Village Chief Zhao, is there anyone in their family helping me?"

Too lazy to watch their show, Shen Xiangwan turned directly to Zhao Dashan without even calling him Uncle Zhao, which showed that he was going to get serious.

"Yes, two are in the kaoliang wine workshop, and one is in the papermaking workshop."

Zhao Dashan frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh deeply. He really didn't expect that they would actually make trouble in front of Shen Xiangwan.

"Yuanying, ask their names later and let them check out and leave." "Yes."

Shen Xiangwan made the decision without much thought. Yuan Ying bowed and accepted the order. The people of the Zhao family looked up in disbelief. The old man who was called the fourth uncle by Zhao Dashan said hurriedly, "No, Madam Wei, it's all Chen's fault. I will let the eldest brother and his family divorce her. Please don't implicate others."

"No, I don't mean to force you to divorce your wife."

Looking up into his eyes, Shen Xiangwan's tone was unexpectedly calm. After finishing the matter, he swept his eyes over the crowd one by one, "Uncle Yi, starting today, the school will be closed indefinitely. I have contributed money and effort. Even if I can't say that I have cultivated any great talents, at least I should be honest and upright. But now there is a person who openly robbed others' things and unreasonably bit the victim. I think there is no need to continue running this school."

"what?!"

After Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, everyone, except Wei Chengyi, including Wei Jingyi and Zhao Yuping, couldn't help but widen their eyes. Was she trying to knock everyone down with one blow?

The Zhao family suddenly felt as if the world was dark and gloomy. Shen Xiangwan's move was undoubtedly aimed at them. When those people realized that it was their family that caused everyone's children to have no education, wouldn't they be blamed to death? How could they go out and see people in the future?

"Not Wanwan..."

"Uncle Yi, I have made up my mind!"

Wei Jingyi was about to admonish her, but Shen Xiangwan didn't give him a chance to finish. Her tone seemed calm, but her attitude was extremely tough. With her eyesight, how could she not see that many people present were provoked and had some opinions about the Wei family? Since they hated the rich and thought that the Wei family was hypocritical and bullied others, if she didn't confirm it, wouldn't it be a shame to their expectations?

At the same time, this can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey, so that others will not really think that the Wei family is easy to bully. All kinds of cats and dogs will come to make trouble. She doesn't have so much time to argue with them.

No one had expected that Shen Xiangwan would close down the entire school simply because of the crying of a shrew. After the news spread, not only Yong'an Village, but also several nearby villages were shocked. Some people with more flexible minds had guessed that Shen Xiangwan closed down the school not only because of Chen's mother and son, but more people still blamed everything on them.

Suddenly she became the target of public criticism and her family members were fired. That was a job that paid one or two taels of silver per person per month. The Zhao family was so angry that they wanted to divorce Chen, but Chen dragged her son with her to cry and refused to leave. The family was in a mess. The Chen family, who had always supported her, kept silent this time because they also had children studying in the school.

"Wanwan, do we really have to keep the school closed?"

After lunch, Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan found Shen Xiangwan. They still felt something was wrong. The ones who made the mistake were Chen mother and son, and it had nothing to do with other people. It seemed a bit too much to generalize.

"How can it really be shut down forever? Uncle Yi, Uncle Han, don't be anxious, let me explain it to you slowly."

Knowing that they would definitely come, Shen Xiangwan invited them to sit down and personally poured them a cup of herbal tea: "You also saw what happened before. Those onlookers, don't they know that Chen is wrong? Know, have they ever said a fair word? I don't think I have done anything to let down my fellow villagers. Even the children from other villages only receive a symbolic twenty coins per month for writing materials, ink, paper and inkstone. How do they repay my kindness? I don't need them to flatter me everywhere, but at least, they shouldn't stand aside and watch the show, or even develop the same hatred of the rich as Chen, thinking that I am just a hypocrite."

At this point, Shen Xiangwan paused. Closing the school was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration. If it were other wealthy families, would they dare to be so blatantly hostile to the rich? In the end, she was too kind. There were some methods that she didn't have to use, but she had to use them. This time, she would teach them a lesson. Otherwise, there would be brainless people like Chen who would jump out in the future. How could she have so much time to argue with them one by one?
