"Absolutely disgraceful!" Du Wenjin suddenly burst out and chided her. "Zhang Yeshi, do you have any proof that I am covering up for the Ye brothers? I can bring you to the government office to be punished for such baseless slander, no matter how pregnant you are. You will be given fifty slaps as a warning to others!"
Although the village chief of a small village wasn't a major government official, he was still a public official. How could she slander him as she pleased?
The furious Du Wenjin looked at Ye Lanlan sternly and this scared her so much she suddenly trembled and hastily apologized. "Village chief, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such words. Please don't send me to the government office to be slapped…"
Du Wenjin wasn't a petty-minded person. When he heard her apologize in fear, he no longer spoke sternly and instead said good-naturedly, "Zhang Yeshi, I will forget it since it was your first offense. I definitely won't forgive you so easily the next time. Understood?"
