The moment the Village Chief saw 2 men chatting with Yao Zhi, he frowned and said, "Yao Girl, I received a report that you are being harassed by strangers. Are you okay?"
When they heard this, both Zhou Boming and Zhou Zihong were startled. They looked at the villagers who were glaring at them in confusion.
Yao Zhi glanced at them and noticed several women were looking at her gloatingly. Connecting the dots, she could guess that someone was trying to smear her already bad reputation.
Under everyone's gaze, she stood up and greeted the Village Chief with a smile. "Village Chief, I wonder who spread the rumors and made a fake report."
Hearing this, the Village Chief looked at the 2 strangers and asked, "If the report is fake, then who are they?"
"Village Chief, this is Uncle Zhou, and this is his son. They own a seasoning store in the town, and they came to give me the payment for my sauces," Yao Zhi replied with a smile.
