Chapter 36 Punish Them Severely
"What are you guys doing? What's going on? Why did you have to gossip her behind her back? "
Looking at those women who bowed their heads, Horace shouted with a livid face. Those women liked to spread rumors. He usually turned a blind eye to it. This time the person they offended was Sharon, a well-educated college student. How could he do such a thing? Since he had seen all kinds of girls.
"Mr. Horace, we didn't mean it. We didn't mean to hurt them. It was Lucy who started all this, you should go and talk to her."
"Yes, the rumor came out from their own families, and we just talked about it during leisure time."
It was the Tang family's fault from the beginning to the end and ruined Celia's reputation.
Clearly, Sharon was enchanted by Celia when he spoke for her just now. They all had daughters, and they always felt that their family background was much better than that of Wendy's. So Sharon should fall in love with their daughters instead of Celia. If they had such a son-in-law, they would be very proud and they wouldn't have to worry about the rest of their lives.

"Really? So you don't think you had done anything wrong? You may just talk about it behind my back, but have you ever thought that it would destroy my life? And Uncle Andy just works for us, and we pay for him. Nothing happened between him and my mother."
It was the first time Celia had a head-on battle with those gossiping women. Since the fight had started, she would like to make it clear.
"……"
Those women shut their mouths and didn't argue anymore.
"Mr. Horace, I won't let them off easily. I don't want any compensation and I will not make any compromise. I just want to sue them."
Celia was firm. She was determined to make things bigger. It would be the best if all the people in the village knew about it. She would let them know that she was not a pushover. She wanted to stop those rumors.
"Celia, we just heard it from Lucy. It's really none of our business."
"Celia, we didn't mean to damage the reputation of you and your mother."
She was not the little girl who used to swallow all the insults. She had become more capable after she moved out from the Tang family.
"Of course you can say whatever you want to say. If I didn't teach you a lesson, you will never learn how to respect others."
Celia didn't want to let go of them. The village head wanted to weigh in with his ideas, but was stopped by Sharon. He knew clearly that Celia didn't really want to get into trouble with those women. But if she didn't say something harsh, those women would never learn their lessons and the rumors would spread again after a few days.
"Celia, good job! You should not sympathize with such kind of people. They deserve it."
Zack clapped his hands for his niece. He realized that he might have misunderstood Sharon. He looked like a decent man judging from his words. It seemed that it was just a rumor. Besides, those people from the Tang family who were trying to give a hard time for Celia and her mother. They would never let off those women easily.
"Celia, let them go, it is not worth it to damage the relationship with our neighbors."
Noticing that more and more people were standing at the gate of her house, Wendy was a little scared. If they could live in this village, she couldn't bring Celia back to her father's house.
"Mom, don't worry. They deserve it. If we didn't say it, we would suffer a lot for the rest of our lives."
Celia comforted Wendy. She had to make everything clear as the village head was here.
"No wonder Celia is angry with you because you have been gossip about others all day long! Are you satisfied now?"
The man who spoke was exactly Mona's husband. These women gathered together to gossip about others after they finished their jobs.
"I'll teach you a lesson when you get back. Mr. Horace, you should keep an eye on them. As their husbands, there's nothing we can do."
These women's husbands were helpless. Seeing that Celia and Wendy were driven out of the Tang family, as their neighbors, they didn't dare to say a word. Even if they wanted to help Celia and her mother, their wives would complain about it, and they couldn't even take a look at Celia. Celia made a scene this time so that those women could know the consequences of gossiping about other.
"Have you heard that? Your husband couldn't do anything about you. You must have done a lot of bad things and gossiped about others."
Mr. Horace was speechless. Celia was determined to make a scene. What's more, their husbands complained about them a lot.
"Mr. Sharon, what do you think?"
Horace felt a headache when he thought that he even got Sharon involved in this matter.
"Mr. Horace, since you are the head of the village, I think you will seek justice for them. Otherwise, I think you will be disgraced if they really cannot stay in this village."
Sharon was also very angry. Words could kill a person. If Celia hadn't been so mentally strong, any other ordinary girl would have broken down in the rumors.
"Of course. As an aunt and neighbors, they have gone too far this time. Celia will deal with the matter in any way she can. As the village head, I support her."
Since Sharon said so, Horace didn't dare have any objections.
"Celia, what are you going to do with that? We will support you in the village."
Horace said.
"Thank you, Mr. Horace. I hope they can learn their lessons and stop hurting the children like me who don't have a father. I want them to realize their mistakes. But obviously, if we don't take any measures, they will continue to make mistakes. So I think it's necessary to send them to prison until they could behave themselves."
It was not a proud thing to be put in the jail.
"No! I don't want to be sent to the police station!"
Celia, the village head and their husbands would not let them off easily. They panicked. They just gossip about others, but didn't expect things to go this far.
"Mr. Horace, please say something. We really dare not do it next time. What's more, we were also victims under Lucy's instigation!"
