Amid their noisy quarreling, the village head arrived. Along the way, he had heard the villagers' discussions and felt very angry. As soon as he entered, he berated Mo Xiaoqiang, saying he was way out of line as a father, that nowhere in the world should a father treat his daughter like this.
Mo Xiaoqiang naturally denied everything, claiming that he and his wife had simply been trying to introduce a nice family to Xuexue in kindness, and it was Xuexue, the ungrateful girl, who had attacked them.
"Is that really so?" The village head looked at him skeptically.
Already feeling guilty, Mo Xiaoqiang felt a tingling on his scalp under the village head's gaze, afraid his deceit would be seen through. He feigned innocence and said, "Yes, it is! If you don't believe me, ask my wife."
