Su Li explained, “Village Chief, they didn’t get sick. They drank the water from the well and became like this.’

The village chief of the Su Family Village was called Su Xiaoqin. His father was the previous village chief. Later on, when his father retired, he used some methods to make Su Xiaoqin the village chief.

Otherwise, with Su Xiaoqin’s methods and ability to cause trouble, he would not have the ability to become the village chief.

Su Xiaoqin still didn’t believe them. He said, “You can become like this after drinking water? What are you talking about? Do you really think I haven’t seen the world? This is clearly an infectious disease!”

Su Li rolled her eyes in her heart. She thought that he had never seen the world. If it weren’t for the fact that there were other innocent people, she wouldn’t have wasted her breath here!

Su Jidong hurriedly said from the side, “Village Chief, it is indeed like this. I’ve already explained to you just now. Now that the villagers have brought the water home, if we don’t stop them in time, we don’t know what will happen!”

Su Xiaoqin frowned and remained suspicious of their words. The main reason was that those people did not look like they had been poisoned.

Su Xiaoqin said, “Let me think about it!”

Su Ze saw the village chief’s hesitation and could not help but say, “Village chief, hurry up and stop everyone! Otherwise, the village will be finished!”

The village chief glared at Su Ze and said, “Our village’s water source is this well. If we tell everyone not to take this water to drink, where can we find water? Moreover, how can you be so sure that the water is poisonous? If it’s not poisonous, how can I explain it to everyone?”

This was no small matter. If he found out that there was no poison in the water in the end, he would not be able to explain himself as the village chief.

Yao Jun couldn’t help but say, “Village Chief, what are you hesitating for? Do you want to see the entire village become like this?”

Su Xiaoqin glanced at him coldly and said, “What do you know? You haven’t even lived to understand yourself, yet you still have the time to meddle in other people’s business. I advise you to wash your face and wake up first.”

He hated Yao Jun and his friends the most. They usually had nothing to do and sometimes even stole from the village. Although he did not catch them, who in the village did not know?

Yao Jun was unhappy when he heard this. “Village Chief, what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to do this for the sake of the villagers?”

Su Xiaoqin said, “You know very well if it’s for the good of the villagers. Perhaps this matter has something to do with you.”

Yao Jun was not a good person to begin with. Now that Su Xiaoqin was not giving him a good attitude, he naturally would not be polite.

“I don’t like what you’re saying. According to your logic, if you don’t care about such a big thing that happened in the village, I feel that you’re in cahoots with them.”

Su Xiaoqin was furious. He pointed at Yao Jun and said angrily, “What did you say?

Yao Jun snorted. “I made it very clear. If you’re deaf and can’t hear me, I can tell you again.”

Su Xiaoqin was angered to death by Yao Jun. He really wanted to give Yao Jun a slap now.

Su Li watched Su Xiaoqin’s every word and action from the side. She really did not expect this village chief to be so long-winded. Her patience was gradually wearing off. She could not help but think that if others did not believe them, was there a need for them to chase after them and tell them that there was a problem with all of this?

Su Li sighed in her heart and said to Su Jidong, “Father, let’s go!”

Su Jidong did not understand what was going on. They were not going to care anymore?

What if the villagers were poisoned?

Su Li said, “Everyone thinks that we’re exaggerating, so there’s no need for us to persuade everyone here.”

Su Ze nodded in agreement. “My sister is right. It’s their business if they don’t believe it. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with us.”

Yao Jun hurriedly nodded and said, “That’s right. If these people don’t believe me, forget it. In any case, we won’t be the ones to suffer in the end.”

Su Jidong wanted to continue persuading him, but when he saw Su Xiaoqin’s expression, he knew that it was useless no matter what he said. He sighed in his heart and said to Su Xiaoqin, “Village Chief, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. We’ll go back first!”

Su Xiaoqin hurriedly said, “If the few of you left, what’s going to happen to these people?”

He did not know what strange illness these people had. He could not keep them for him to deal with, right?

Su Jidong glanced at those people. “This has nothing to do with us. You can deal with it however you want!”

They did not want to get into trouble. It was better not to get involved in such matters.

Su Ze didn’t want to stay any longer and pulled Su Jidong back. “Father, let’s go back quickly. Mother is still waiting for us to go back for breakfast.”

When the group of people heard that Su Li and the others were leaving, they hurriedly shouted, “Please let us go. We’ve said everything that needs to be said!”

Su Li glanced at them and said meaningfully to Su Xiaoqin, “Village Chief, it’s best if these people stay in one place and don’t move. Otherwise, they might harm everyone.”

She still wanted these people to test the medicine. She did not want them to leave just like that.

Su Xiaoqin naturally knew that he could not let them go. As long as these people were still in the village, outsiders would not know what had happened. If he let them go, what if these people ran out to spout nonsense?

Su Li smiled in satisfaction when she saw Su Xiaoqin’s expression. She said to Su Xiaoqin, “Village Chief, we’ll go back first. If you need any help, you can look for us at our house.’

Su Jidong also said, “Village Chief, if you need help, just say the word.”

With that, they walked home.

Su Xiaoqin looked at their backs and muttered in dissatisfaction, “You really do whatever you want. Do you think I’ll believe you just because you say so? There are so many people in the village, why would I ask you for help? I think you really think too highly of yourselves.”

Su Li heard it very clearly. Although Su Xiaoqin’s voice was not loud and there was some distance between them, she heard everything.

When they reached the entrance of the house, Su Li realized that Yao Jun was still following them. He had no intention of going back.

“You’re not going home?”

Yao Jun chuckled when he heard this. “I’m alone. That home is no longer a home. I feel that it’s more lively to be with you guys, so…”

Su Li looked at him in disdain. “Just say that you want to freeload!”

Yao Jun said, “Boss knows me best!”

He didn’t have anything at home, so it was too difficult to eat a mouthful of hot rice. Hence, it was better to follow Su Li and eat delicious food.

Su Ze kicked Yao Jun. “Don’t you have any shame? It’s fine if you’re freeloading at my brother-in-law’s house, but now you’re here.”

Yao Jun chuckled. “I won’t eat for free. The food will be deducted from my salary.”

“Father?” Su Ze looked at Su Jidong and asked for his opinion.

“Deduct his salary after he eats.” Su Jidong looked at Yao Jun with a dark expression, but he did not say anything since he knew about his relationship with Su Li..
