Chapter 108: Finding a Place Part 2

The village head looked a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Jun family, for such a small matter, you made such a fuss that you asked me to gather everyone together, and at such a late hour, isn't that a bit of an overreaction?"

As soon as Su Hanchu heard this, he felt that he was trying to take sides.

"Uncle Zhao, if it was just the children fighting, it would indeed be a small matter, but with adults intervening and even hitting my child, this is no small matter for our Jun family. It's like someone is trying to step on our Jun family's face.

In short, I must make those people come out and apologize today. Uncle Zhao, as the head of the village, I believe you will definitely do justice to this matter, right?"

The head of the village frowned when he heard this, and he became more and more displeased when he saw Su Hanchu and his wife, who looked like they would never give up. The Jun family caused trouble as soon as they arrived. It turned out that these exiled people were not good people.

Seeing that the atmosphere was strange, Aunt Zhao quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Young lady from the Jun family, this matter is not a big deal after all. It's too late tonight. How about this, you go back first, and tomorrow I will ask who attacked your child, and I will tell them about them."

This kind of words sounded like an attempt to smooth things over, and Su Hanchu naturally would not agree to it given his personality.

"Aunt Zhao, I know you mean well, but I want an explanation from those people on this matter. I'd also like to trouble Uncle Zhao to gather everyone together. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Lizheng was furious when he saw that she refused to listen to his advice.

“What if I don’t gather people together?”

Jun Moye spoke from the side.

"Then we will go to the town early tomorrow morning to ask the headman to seek justice."

Zhao Lizheng's face turned pale when he heard this.

"It doesn't look to me like your Jun family came here to settle down. Instead, they came here to act as overlords."

Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice after hearing this.

"Zhao Lizheng, although we were exiled to the northwest, you don't know what's going on in the imperial city. Many of the people who came here were simply implicated, and the children are innocent.

Moreover, we have now accepted our punishment and become ordinary people like you. As citizens of Tianyuan, we naturally enjoy the same treatment as ordinary people of Tianyuan. As the head of the village, you should treat the residents of your village fairly and justly."

Seeing Jun Moye being so strong, Zhao Lizheng finally spoke with a serious face.

"If we want the whole village to gather, we can only go to the gathering dam at this time. But it's cold, and it's dark, so we can't see clearly. We need to build a few fires. The firewood is contributed by every household in the village every year. If anyone needs to gather everyone, they have to contribute 500 coins as public funds."

Su Hanchu took out a tael of silver and put it into Jun Moye's hand.

Jun Moye took it and put it on the table.

"Here's one ounce of silver, please excuse me, Uncle Zhao."

Finally, under the insistence of the Jun family, Zhao Lizheng asked Zhao Shun to take the gong and beat it, asking everyone to gather at the dam in the village.

Five bright fires were burning, lighting up the dark night, and the dam was suddenly as bright as day.

While Su Hanchu was calling everyone to gather, he asked Jun Moshi to go back and get some melon seeds.

The people who gathered at the dam one after another were talking about it.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. We haven't gathered people so late at night in these years."

"Hey, why are all those children from the Jun family here?"

"I don't know. From the light of the fire, it looks like those children have injuries on their faces."

"Indeed, there is. Look at the oldest child's face. Isn't there a slap mark?"

"Yes, it's obvious. I don't know if it was caused by a slap from an adult at home. The slap mark is from an adult's hand."

The adults who attacked Jiang Liheng and the others today all felt a little guilty. What did the Jun family want to do? They couldn't make such a big fuss over such a small matter, right?

Su Hanchu handed Chuntao half a basin of melon seeds and motioned her to share it with everyone.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you all by gathering here so late at night, but there's something urgent that I need you all to be a witness. Please go ahead and eat some sunflower seeds and waste a moment listening to a few words from me, Su Hanchu."

Zhao Li was about to speak when Su Hanchu interrupted him again.

"My family has only arrived in Guanping Village in the past two days. As latecomers, I know some people in the village may not welcome us. Of course, there are also some warm-hearted people who are very kind, such as Aunt Zhou and others."

Aunt Zhou, who was named, spoke hurriedly.

"Hanchu, kid, what are you talking about who came first and who came later? We will all be from the same village from now on. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be afraid."

With Aunt Zhou taking over the conversation, Su Hanchu became more direct.

"Today, a few children from our Jun family were just picking up rocks in our field, but for no reason, a group of naughty kids came over and started yelling at us. It was originally just a children's quarrel, but some adults were so shameless that they actually attacked our children.

Although our Jun family is new here and not a prestigious one, we will not allow others to step on our faces. Today, let everyone bear witness. Anyone who has assaulted our Jun child, please come forward and apologize to our child. I am willing to end this matter here."

Many people seemed to suddenly understand when they heard this.

"It turns out that it was your own child who was bullied. You should support your own child."

"Su Hanchu isn't very old, probably around sixteen or seventeen, but I didn't expect him to have such a bad temper. Who would go to such great lengths to pick a fight?"

"I don't know which adults attacked the Jun family's children?"

"Yeah, it's normal for children to fight with each other, but if adults start fighting, that's bullying."

Jiang Liheng looked at a few people in the crowd and pointed.

"Young Madam, that one, that one, and those two, I recognize them... There's a child in front of the adult on the far right. He's the one who threw the stone at Young Master Mo Yan."

Su Hanchu looked over when he heard that.

"Aren't you going to stand up for yourself? Our children remember your faces. If you don't stand up for yourself, then I won't be polite."

After being told this in front of so many people, one of the people who bullied Jiang Liheng and his companions stood up.

"How rude of you want to be? Didn't your child beat up my child? Do you think I should watch my own child get beaten?"

Su Hanchu glanced at the other people.

"You have the ability to do it but don't have the guts to admit it? Are you all just a bunch of cowards?"

Finally, several others stepped forward.

"So what if he beat me? Your family is already an exile."

"That's right, are we, the Wang family, afraid of you?"

"Yes, our Sun family is not afraid either. He even apologized. He's just an exiled little bastard. Do you want me, Li Cuicui, to apologize?"

Hearing the word "little bastard", Su Hanchu rolled up his sleeves.

"Who is this bastard scolding?"

Li Cuicui spoke hastily after hearing this.

"Of course I'm calling you bastards..."

Su Hanchu raised his hand and slapped Li Cuicui in the face.

"Oh, it's the wild bastards cursing. I thought it was a stray dog ​​barking."
