However, the villagers didn't directly confront Wang Yizhi.
Having a Cultivated Talent in the village was a rare privilege. If he advanced to become an Advanced Scholar, he could potentially become an officer, bringing honor to the village and benefiting everyone.
With this in mind, Wang Yizhi managed to compose himself and angrily accused the hooligan, saying, "How dare you set me up like this!"
Then he turned to his mother. "Mom, get the village chief here to deal with this!"
Since they were both descendants of the same great-grandfather, the village chief would undoubtedly support him.
As long as he didn't admit to asking Su Lan for the hammer and instead claimed that the hooligan had framed him, he might be able to turn the situation in his favor.
A man informed him, "The chief is here."
The village chief arrived with four men from his family, ready to protect Wang Yizhi.
