Villagers watched Qinghe's pitiful defense, and many were moved. Some tender-hearted women couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
"Qinghe is such a poor child, has suffered her whole life, and now some wicked people have plotted against her again! They don't even spare children, truly inhumane!"
Mrs. Liang was at a loss for words for a moment, watching as everyone seemed to side against her like reeds swaying with the wind; the situation had turned completely unfavorable!
The Village Head said authoritatively, "Mrs. Liang! If you don't want to be drowned in spit, you'd better let Shitou come out and clarify things! Otherwise, don't think it's just Qinghe who won't let this go, you won't get past me either!"
The villagers also chimed in, "Exactly, let Shitou come out! What's the point of hiding him? Afraid the truth will come out once confronted?"
