The village chief spoke, and only then did the villagers reach out to pull Lan Hua away from brutally beating Yang Xiaocui, rescuing Xiaocui.
Seeing the village chief arrive, Lan Hua seemed to regain her fighting spirit and cried out, "Village chief, you have to stand up for me. They're bullying us, the Yang Family wants thirty taels of Silver to take the land deed for the west end of our land, that's our family's lifeline. Without that land, what will our whole family eat and drink?"
"You must intervene in this matter, Yang Dong almost strangled me just now, and everyone here sides with the Yang Family, forcing me to give these thirty taels. Our family agreed to call off the marriage, but the bride price was only six taels. The Yang Family claims they gave Xiaocui things, including the carriage hire cost, totaling twelve taels at most. How can they possibly ask for thirty taels? It's such bullying!"
