Chapter 15: The Village Chief
Because Li Mei was a widow, she faced a lot of things, which gave her a fierce temperament.
When she heard Mrs. Zhao scolding her daughter, she went up to her and started beating her. While beating her, she cursed: "You old witch, your mouth is full of excrement. See if I don't tear up your stinky mouth."
"Ah... you bitch, your daughter is just like you, she is a bitch of a scumbag." Mrs. Zhao did not expect that she would take action without saying anything. Unprepared, Li Mei slapped her twice in the face, and then she was not to be outdone.
Hit back at Li Mei.
Just when everyone didn't know why the two started fighting, someone standing behind shouted: "The village chief is here."
The villagers gathered together gave way one after another.
As soon as the village chief Li Zheng stepped into the crowd, he yelled: "What are you all doing here? You're all full and have nothing to do, right? Why don't you disperse quickly?"
In response to the village chief's majestic words, the villagers were still looking back as they walked.
"Why don't you pull them apart quickly?" Li Zhenggang looked at the two people struggling together and quickly asked someone to separate them.
The two of them quarreled fiercely, especially Zhao. When she saw someone coming to start a fight, she didn't care who it was, but Li Mei saw clearly who was the one who started the fight. The woman who went up to pull Zhao was arrested by her for no reason.
The back of my hand immediately became bloodshot.
The woman was hurt by being caught, so she was no longer polite. She went up to pull Ms. Zhao forcefully, and she also secretly pinched her several times.
The two finally separated, but their mouths were not blocked and they were still frothing and swearing at each other.
"Shut up." Li Zhenggang shouted unbearably.
The village chief got angry and the two stopped.
Li Zhenggang glared at the two of them, then looked at Murong Hao and said, "Xiao Hao, come here and tell me what happened."
When Murong Hao was called, he stepped forward and saluted him and said, "Grandpa, village chief, the thing is like this. My little sister and I went to Hushan to dig wild vegetables today, and finally brought back a pheasant. We wanted to make it for you."
My brother and sister were trying to replenish their health. Who knew that before they could eat, my grandma came over with my third aunt. She insisted that we had stolen her chicken. After that, I showed the chicken feathers to them. All the hunters in the village said they were pheasant feathers.
, but my grandma still has to take the chicken soup away with the pot. Grandpa, the village chief, this is the only chicken soup that my little brother and sister and I have for dinner."
The meaning is obvious. If the chicken soup is taken away, they will only be hungry for the whole night.
"Mr. Yao, why don't you return the chicken soup to them?" After hearing this, Li Zhenggang looked at Mr. Yao with a straight face.
Seeing the village chief's calm and confident expression, Mrs. Yao was so frightened that her hands shook and she almost dropped the pot.
Fortunately, Murong Yue had quick eyesight and quick hands. When she was stunned, she went up and snatched the pot.
"Damn girl, give me the chicken soup." When Zhao saw the chicken soup falling into Murong Yue's hand, she was so angry that she wanted to grab it.
"Ms. Zhao, I don't care how you treat the three siblings, but I'm here today, so don't be presumptuous." It's not that Li Zhenggang doesn't know how Zhao treats Murong Hao and the others, but this is someone else's family matter.
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs, not to mention that all the people in Qingquan Village are surnamed Li, and only Murongfu's family has a foreign surname. He is an outsider. Although he is the village chief, he cannot take charge of it even if he wants to.
If Murong Yue hadn't asked someone to invite him today and said there was a fight here, he would have had a reason to take care of this matter.
"Village Chief, this is the family matter of my Murong family. Why do you care so much about it? Besides, what's wrong with the younger generation being filial to me, my own mother? If they don't respect me, I will go to the Yamen and sue them for being unfilial."
After hearing her words, Murong Yue really wanted to go up and slap her twice.
And this damn ancient time, this damn law.
Murong Yue clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then breathed again.
Murong Hao was also very angry, but he couldn't help it. For so long, Mrs. Zhao had used the word filial piety to suppress them, and she always pinched them.
Li Zhenggang had nothing to say when she said this. There was indeed such a provision in the law, and those who were unfilial would be imprisoned and sent to hard labor for three years.
Seeing that they were silent, Ms. Zhao raised her chin proudly.
He glanced at Murong Yue proudly and stretched out his hand to pick up the pot.
Murong Yue turned sideways and put the pot into Murong Hao's hands.
"You..." Mrs. Zhao thought she could get it, but Murong Yue hid and suddenly felt a little angry.
Li Mei, on the other hand, looked at the proud Zhao angrily and said, "Does a grandma like you deserve to be filial to Xiao Hao and the others? Even if it is an old and disrespectful old man like you who should be arrested, he should be arrested."
"Li Mei, who are you talking about immortality, you bitch? I think your immortal mother should die early and be born early." Mrs. Zhao said angrily.
Li Mei, on the other hand, was not a vegetarian, so she immediately scolded her back: "My mother doesn't abuse her own grandchildren like you. People like you should go to hell to apologize to your second son."
"You..."
"That's enough, what's the fuss about? Why don't Li Mei go back and take care of your mother?" Mrs. Zhao wanted to curse again, but the village chief interrupted her loudly and told Li Mei to leave quickly to avoid further chaos.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao had shut up, Li Mei nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I'll go back right now."
But he still looked at Murong Yue and his three siblings worriedly.
