Wang Shufen sneered. "If we followed the old rules, these kids would really be unforgivable. But after all, they're still young and inexperienced. You're the village head. Instead of giving them a good education, you want to send them to the police station? I think you're determined to push them to a dead end!"
Wang Shufen wasn't afraid at all. She didn't coddle the village head either and directly pointed out what was on his mind.
The village head trembled violently. He wanted to refute but found nothing to say.
Li Wenjie stared coldly at the village head. "From now on, don't even think about making things difficult for these kids."
The village head nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then he quickly caught the displeased look from the town head.
This damned village head was really embarrassing him!
Just then, a little boy's voice suddenly came from afar.
"Yun Que'er, you're back!"
Yun Que'er turned around excitedly. Although it was all an act, she really felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
Yun Que'er rushed up and exaggeratedly complained to Ji Chengxuan.
"I was so scared! Fortunately, Sister Shufen came in time and the police didn't give me any trouble. That's why I'm back safe and sound!"
The village head looked embarrassed. This damned Yun Que'er wished the whole village knew she had suffered, didn't she?
"Is Sister Shufen here?" Ji Chengxuan looked up, pretending he had just seen Wang Shufen.
Surprised by the boy's words, Wang Shufen quickly walked over.
"Little brother, it's you. I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you. Thanks to you last time."
"It's okay." Ji Chengxuan waved his hand indifferently. "Moreover, Sister Shufen, you should thank Yun Que'er. It was she who offered to save you."
"You're both good kids." Wang Shufen smiled and hugged them both.
Taking the opportunity, Ji Chengxuan whispered in Wang Shufen's ear, "Sister Shufen, you should be careful of this village head. Finish your business and leave quickly. He has powerful backers."
Wang Shufen frowned. "What do you mean?"
Ji Chengxuan winked mysteriously. "I don't know the details. But Sister Shufen, do you think he could still be the village head while exploiting the villagers if there wasn't someone covering for him?"
Wang Shufen immediately understood what Ji Chengxuan meant and stroked his head.
"Okay, I got it."
Ji Chengxuan turned to Yun Que'er and winked: See, it's easy to solve the problem.
Yun Que'er returned a look: I told you, going against the norm works.
The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other without words.
After Li Wenjie and the others finished their work, they were about to leave. Before leaving, Li Wenjie specifically told the village head to make up for the Yun family.
The village head's face turned almost green, but he could only force a smile and nod repeatedly.
But secretly, he glared at Yun Que'er fiercely.
This damned girl, when would she disappear from this world!
Yun Que'er stuck out her tongue at the village head, looking very proud.
The village head was so angry that he held his breath, and his face turned even paler.
The four Yun siblings returned home safely. But after entering the house, Yun Fujin sent the chattering Yun Jianzhou and Yun Yi out, leaving only himself and Yun Que'er in the room.
Seeing Yun Fujin's serious expression, Yun Que'er thought something was wrong. She quickly forced a smile at Yun Fujin.
"Big brother, why are you looking at me like this? I'm so sleepy. How about we go to sleep?"
"You still have the mood to sleep?" Yun Fujin frowned.
He walked towards Yun Que'er, scaring her to take several steps back.
"What's wrong? I didn't sleep well last night..."
"You still have the nerve to say!" Yun Fujin suddenly raised his voice, scaring Yun Que'er to tremble violently. She quickly lowered her head in front of Yun Fujin.
She thought Yun Fujin must have guessed something, so she apologized actively.
"Sorry, big brother. I was wrong."
Yun Que'er nervously rubbed her hands. She quickly glanced at Yun Fujin and then lowered her head again.
It seemed this kid still knew how to admit her mistake. She wasn't completely hopeless.
Yun Fujin tapped Yun Que'er's forehead. "Then tell me where you were wrong?"
"I shouldn't have not told big brother in advance." Yun Que'er said. "I was afraid big brother would worry... so I didn't say anything. And the other day I heard the village head say he was going to plot against our family. I also heard his position was bought. So I wanted to plot against him in return and stop him from bullying us..."
Yun Fujin had long guessed that Yun Que'er had some plans in advance. That's why she didn't seem nervous at all when she entered the police station yesterday. She was much calmer than a kid of her age should be.
But he didn't expect the village head's position was bought, nor did he know about the plot against their family. He couldn't help but be stunned.
But after a while, Yun Fujin came to his senses.
The point wasn't this. He immediately put on a serious face again.
"Is this where you were wrong?"
"Huh?" Yun Que'er looked at Yun Fujin blankly and mumbled, "What else did I do wrong..."
"You shouldn't have plotted against Sister Shufen." Yun Fujin said. "I felt something was wrong when you said bad things about the village head in front of her and Uncle Li that day. But I really didn't expect you were trying to use her. Sister Shufen is so grateful to you and even stood up for you. How could you bear to do this?"
Yun Que'er was stunned and lowered her head deeply.
She admitted she was really wrong about this. Besides Wang Shufen, there was also Officer Shen. They were both rare good people, but she had deceived them for her own selfish reasons.
So far, they were still kept in the dark, really thinking she was an innocent little girl.
"I know I was wrong." Yun Que'er quickly said. "I won't do this again!"
"Also," Yun Fujin added. "I don't care if the village head bought his position or if he's plotting against us. But we shouldn't do those underhanded things like him."
"But we can't just sit and wait for death..." Yun Que'er retorted carefully.
Yun Fujin sighed and walked forward to stroke Yun Que'er's head.
"Indeed, we can't just sit and wait for death. Appropriate precautions are necessary. But think about it, little Que'er. If we retaliate against those who have wronged us and use such deep schemes, how are we different from them?"
Only then did Yun Que'er suddenly realize. Yes, by doing this, wasn't she just like the village head?
"Big brother, I... I really had no other choice..." Yun Que'er grabbed Yun Fujin's hand. "I did this for our family. I was afraid no one would believe me if I told these things actively, so I had to do it this way. But I really know I was wrong and I won't do it again!"
Yun Fujin sighed. It was good that Yun Que'er knew her mistake.
He didn't think what Yun Que'er did was completely wrong. He was just worried that once she started doing such things, she would naturally think it was okay and keep making mistakes.
