Fan Zhong didn't want to hear her excuses and directly said to Fourth Fan, "You go to the Xu Family, explain everything that just happened clearly, and let them ask questions. Handle it later."
"Father, what about you?"
"It's not wise to make a scene now. The people from the Yu family who came to deliver the dowry are still here. I'll go to the Xu Family after they leave. This matter is serious; it concerns the reputation of our Shangshi Village and can't be taken lightly."
"Yes."
Fourth Fan dragged the still struggling Ge Qifei and Xu Cai away, taking several villagers with him.
Fan Zhong noticed Madam Liang retreating quietly and hurriedly called out to her, "Mrs. Third Lu, did you hear what I just said? Especially you, don't go spreading this around."
Madam Liang pouted, she used to fear the village chief, but now she didn't. Who's to say she wouldn't speak if he forbade it?
