Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 299 Delivering to the Official

The village chief's expression changed, and he looked at Yun Yi with an unnatural expression. He could sense that she was angry, and he also knew that his attitude in pleading for her earlier was indeed not very good. After all, there was Xia Xiaoyue first, and now there was Xia Mingzhu. Anyone would get angry.

Moreover, the village had just started to improve its situation because of Yunyi; if they really drove her away, then…

She couldn't help but glare at Xia Fugui and Guan Guihua, thinking, "Look at the good daughter you've raised."

Xia Fugui and Guan Guihua dared not speak, wishing they could bury their heads in their crotches.

Xia Xiaotian's face flushed red and then turned pale, because he was now hesitant to propose marriage to his sister.

"Village chief, we can't let Yunyi leave." Someone in the crowd couldn't help but speak up.

"Yes, these people don't want the village to prosper."

"Village chief, these people are starting to poison people now. If Yunyi hadn't discovered it, wouldn't she have been poisoned to death?"

"Yes, that's terrifying."

……

"Boss, they've also put poisonous plants in the village wells," Sixteen reminded Yunyi.

"And one more thing, just a heads up, she also put this 'heartbreak herb' in the village wells," Yunyi added.

Now, the villagers who were hesitant earlier started making a fuss. After all, this was a matter of their own safety. If they had to cook as soon as it was light, wouldn't they all die?

Gao Shunfang stepped forward and slapped Xia Baozhu across the face: "You're so vicious."

The rest of the people followed suit and joined in.

Ms. Xiao originally wanted to protect her daughter, but she was also beaten up, after all, her daughter had done something that aroused public outrage.

In the end, without Yunyi even needing to intervene, everyone unanimously decided to expel Xia Baozhu from her clan and then send her to the authorities.

Xia Baozhu was really scared, but there was nothing she could do, because her parents didn't dare to object to anything the whole village had decided.

Because it was still dark, everyone decided to send the person to the authorities after daybreak. Poisoning someone is a serious crime; even if no one dies, the perpetrator will be imprisoned.

People were worried about leaving her with her parents, so they had no choice but to send her to the ancestral hall for safekeeping.

Because of Xia Xiaoyue's previous experience, the village chief decided to send people to guard the ancestral hall in shifts.

"No need, I'll send someone to keep watch," Yunyi suggested. "Everyone should go back to sleep, after all, we have a lot to do tomorrow."

The village chief looked somewhat embarrassed: "Yunyi, it was an oversight before, but it will definitely not happen again." He knew that Yunyi didn't quite believe him anymore, which made him feel rather uncomfortable.

"People always have weaknesses, but they don't." Yunyi snapped her fingers.

A tiger's roar came, and then everyone saw the little white tiger, Twenty, slowly walking over, with the little white fox, Eighteen, on its back.

On one side was Sixteen leading a pack of wolf cubs, and on the other side was Monkey Sixteen leading a pack of monkey cubs.

Although everyone knew it was Yunyi's pet, they still instinctively stepped aside.

"There's no need to go to the ancestral hall and disturb the ancestors. Let her stay here for a few hours." Yunyi glanced at everyone. "Go back now."

Immediately, the wolf pack surrounded Xia Baozhu.

Xia Baozhu trembled with fear, then felt a heat below her and wet herself in fright.

"Go back, everyone," the village chief called out.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Xia Baozhu knelt on the ground. "Please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again, Father and Mother, please save me... Uncle Village Chief, I was wrong, I will change from now on..."

But everyone just sighed and no one spoke.

"Laidi, please plead for me! I really know I was wrong. I'll never do anything reckless again. I was wrong..." Xia Baozhu looked at her sister again.

Xia Laidi didn't say anything, but she clenched her hands tightly.

"Third Grandfather, I beg you, Sixth Grandfather, I beg you..." Xia Baozhu pleaded with everyone, but no one spoke up.

"Yunyi, can't you really let me go?" Xia Baozhu shouted at Yunyi in despair.

"When you were poisoning us, did you ever think about sparing us?" Yunyi sighed. "If I hadn't discovered it, can you imagine what would have happened after dawn?"

Xia Baozhu shrank her neck.

"The amount you've given isn't enough to kill someone instantly, but it will cause them unbearable abdominal pain. Those with strong constitutions might be able to pull through, but what about the weak and elderly? What about the children? They won't survive and will die. You're going to kill people, why should we spare you?"

"That's enough, let's go back." The village chief said, turning and leaving.

The rest of the people followed suit and left one after another.

Yunyi gave the little cuties a final reward before leaving.

Xia Baozhu looked at the wild beasts surrounding her, and she was too exhausted to even make a sound.

Xia Laidi didn't go home. Instead, she ran to Yunyi and bowed deeply, saying, "I'm sorry."

"It's none of your business." Yunyi shook her head. "Go back."

Xia Laidi had no choice but to turn around and go back.

An hour later, the rooster crowed.

Although the villagers had only rested for less than two hours, they all got up again.

This time, Yunyi didn't need to intervene. The village chief directly instructed the villagers to drive an oxcart and take Xia Baozhu to the yamen. As for what happened afterward, Yunyi didn't care.

However, Ms. Xiao fell ill and asked Wang Tianshun to come over, prescribe medicine, and give her acupuncture.

Just after breakfast, the village chief and the villagers came over because the well had been poisoned with poisonous herbs.

This is a big deal! We can use the water stored in the tank for breakfast today, but what about next? Who would dare drink water laced with rotten intestines?

“Uncle Village Chief, I’ve asked myself, since I came to the village, have I done anything to wrong everyone?” Yunyi glanced at everyone. “But I’ve been targeted so many times, and this time it almost resulted in someone’s death.”

The villagers all looked somewhat embarrassed.

“I let it go when Xia Xiaoyue was released, but now I tolerated Xia Baozhu’s tantrums, and she’s actually poisoning me…” Yun Yi scoffed. “Do you really think I have to stay here?”

“Yunyi, I know you’re upset, and so are we.” The village chief sighed. “Before, we thought that since we’re all from the same village and have watched the children grow up, we would feel bad for them. But we never expected…” He paused for a moment, “But don’t worry, it will never happen again. If anyone dares to do anything immoral again, they will not be let off lightly.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Fine, since everyone's made such a promise, I'll believe it for now. But if anyone messes with me again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Yun Yi's face darkened.

Everyone felt a sudden weight lift from their hearts, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously.
