The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

Chapter 157: Disbelief (Part 1)

Miao Zhen said calmly, “It’s indeed despicable.”

Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang provocatively and looked away arrogantly. Hmph, this was the consequence of offending her.

The villagers were furious. They looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan with eyes filled with flames. They shouted angrily. “We must punish them severely!”

Xia Qiluo had succeeded in provoking everyone. She looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan in the crowd and wanted to see their expressions of fear and regret.

However, she didn’t see what she wanted. Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm and did not show any fear or regret. She did not look like a little girl. At this moment, she gave Xia Qiluo a mysterious feeling.

There was no need to even mention Chu Yan. His expression was as cold as ever, making people want to stay away from him. His gaze was only gentle when he looked at Liu Sanniang.

Xia Qiluo clenched her fists and couldn’t help but stomp her feet. Damn it, why weren’t they afraid at all? These ignorant villagers were very likely to burn them to death in anger.

Destroying the temple and Buddha statue which people worshiped was an enormous offense. Moreover, the importance of the Buddha statue to these people far exceeded Xia Qiluo’s expectation. Burning them to death, sinking them, and all kinds of torture were possible.

In this village, people solved things in private. No one would report it to the government. Even if the government knew about it, they couldn’t really do anything.

Xia Qiluo could not figure out why Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were not afraid.

The reaction of the crowd was intense. The entire fishing village was here, filling the courtyard. There was the chatter of women outside.

Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. When the crowd’s emotions reached an extreme, she raised her hand to suppress them. The noisy crowd quietened down, and they all listened to Miao Zhen.

The village chief said, “Granny Miao, you’re the person we respect the most. Tell us, how should we deal with these two foreigners?”

......

Miao Zhen raised his hand and said calmly, “Everyone, calm down and listen to me.”

Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang and narrowed her eyes. After a moment, she said, “These two people are really evil, but repairing the Buddha statue is the most important thing. Let’s keep an eye on them and not let them leave. We fishermen live by the sea, and have to go out to the sea all the time. Destroying the Buddha statue is a huge crime. Let’s repair the statue first. After that, we’ll deal with these two foreigners in front of the Buddha statue.”

The village chief nodded. “Alright, Granny Miao is right. Everyone, don’t go out to sea for the next two days. We need to repair the Buddha statue.”

After saying that, the village chief looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan coldly. “Lock up these two detestable foreigners.”

“Chief, it’s a misunderstanding.”

Outside the crowd, Mr. Xu and Xu Xue tried their best to squeeze in when they heard the news. Mr. Xu grabbed the village chief’s hand and hurriedly said, “Chief, Miao Zhen can’t be trusted. She has committed a heinous crime. She wants to give a healthy body to her grandson, Zhang Tianyou, by using the lives of our entire fishing village. Don’t be deceived by Miao Zhen.”

Mr. Xu was burning with anxiety. No one understood this matter better than him.

Afraid that others would not believe him, Mr. Xu pulled Xu Xue and said, “My daughter, Xue, broke off the engagement with Chen Wen because Miao Zhen drugged her with the love poison. Now that the love poison has been removed, this is all thanks to Miss Liu. There must be a reason why Miss Liu took down the Buddha statue.”

Mr. Xu looked at Liu Sanniang anxiously. “Miss Liu, quickly explain.”

Liu Sanniang said, “The temple’s Buddha statue is one of the formations. There are seven other formations in the village. They are the Buddha statues worshiped by seven families. Only by destroying them one by one can the formation be destroyed. Otherwise, when the sun rises the day after tomorrow, the formation will be automatically activated.”

Miao Zhen smiled coldly. “Your daughter just hates my grandson because he is a handicapped person. If I were so capable, why would I wait until today? If I wanted your lives, why would I help you all in the past?”

The village chief frowned and looked at Mr. Xu. In the end, he still sided with Miao Zhen. “Granny Miao has been in the village for decades. She watched many of us grow up. Although Granny Miao is strict, she will never turn a blind eye when we are sick. We all know about Tianyou’s body. It’s impossible to treat it. Mr. Xu, these two foreigners live in your house. Don’t side with outsiders just because they gave you some money.”

Zhang Tianyou’s congenital deficiency was incurable. Miao Zhen’s ability was unquestionable, but there were still some things she couldn’t do.

The village chief looked at Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang and felt a wave of anger in his heart. “Our village has relied on the Buddha statue to protect our safety for many years. If these two people destroyed it, they would be punished. Miao is virtuous and noble. We are blessed to have her!”

Mr. Xu was so angry that he had a hard time catching his breath. “Bullsh*t! She’s a demon. She poisoned my daughter and wanted my daughter to marry that useless Zhang Tianyou. If you believe her, you won’t even know how you died.”

Mr. Xu took two steps forward and grabbed a man. “Xu De, have you forgotten how your wife died?”

Xu De frowned. “She died in childbirth.”

Mr. Xu snorted. “Pfft, when your wife gave birth, was Zhang Tianyou seriously ill? In the end, your wife died and Zhang Tianyou recovered. Think about it, every time Zhang Tianyou is sick, someone will die in our village? As long as someone dies, her grandson will recover.”

“Shunzi, Qian Zi, think about your father and your dead relatives.”

Mr. Xu felt indignation surging up in him. Seeing how much the villagers trusted Miao Zhen, he really wanted to beat Miao Zhen to death.

In the past, he did not realize it. But now the more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. Miao Zhen had secretly killed many people.

In Mr. Xu’s eyes, Miao Zhen was like a venomous snake that was ready to strike. Her teeth were filled with venom, but she was wearing human skin to confuse people and make them unable to see her true appearance.

Xu Xue also said anxiously, “Uncles, please believe my father. We’ve been in the fishing village for generations. How can we lie and harm our own people?”

The village chief frowned. “In this world, how can there be a village where no one dies? You said that every time Zhang Tianyou is sick, someone will die. But this time, why didn’t anyone die? Previously, when Zhang Tianyou left your house, he was very seriously ill.”
