Zhao Fangzhi was held by the arm and couldn't move, while Yue Jiangshi was extremely pleased, thinking to herself,

"I'm not going to let you, you little slut, get away with this."

“Jiang, shut up! You are incredibly foolish, incredibly foolish!”

The village chief, leaning on his cane, walked briskly towards the Yue family's house.

The loud shout just now came from the village chief, which clearly shows that he was furious.

The village chief was panting heavily. Luckily, the two families lived close by, otherwise his old legs would have broken from running all day.

"Jiang, do you know your mistake?" the village chief questioned again.

The usually domineering Yue Jiangshi had never seen the village chief speak so sternly before, and she immediately wilted.

She straightened up again in a moment.

"What the village chief said is true. It's only natural for a mother-in-law to educate her daughter-in-law. What's wrong with that?"

"Isn't there a saying that parents are never wrong? If anyone is wrong, it's this little brat's fault."

The village chief was so angry he was practically fuming. He thought to himself that this stupid woman was utterly foolish and didn't bother arguing with Yue Jiangshi any further.

He shouted, "Yue Laiwu is here, why don't you hurry up and come out and discipline your unlucky wife?"

Logically speaking, it is really inappropriate for a village chief to scold a woman like this, but the village chief was really furious today.

Yue Laiwu kept a close eye on the commotion outside, and the old man, who always believed that women should manage household affairs, had no choice but to move out of the house.

As he walked, he didn't forget to puff on his pipe.

"Here she comes, village chief! What has my wife done wrong to make you so angry?"

Upon hearing Yue Laiwu's words, the village chief nearly burst into flames, and took a few deep breaths.

"Laiwu, I watched you grow up. You were such a smart and clever child when you were young. How come you've become so confused as you get older?"

Did you know that a member of the Zhao clan held an official position?

Now that they have returned to visit their relatives, they have specially invited Zhao to attend the banquet.

With such good news, your whole family should at least prepare a car to take your daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, if not prepare generous gifts and show your faces.

But look at what your family has done!

You're stopping your daughter-in-law from going back to her parents' home? Do you even realize what your family has missed?

The village chief whispered the last sentence into Yue Laiwu's ear.

Seeing Yue Laiwu's bewildered old eyes looking over, the village chief was so angry that he slapped Yue Laiwu on the head.

Yue Laiwu screamed in pain as he was being whipped, "Village Chief, why are you hitting me when we were having a perfectly good talk?"

The village chief took a deep breath, then another. He wished he could just grab a stick and beat the stupid guy in front of him to death.

Thinking about it again, anyway, these aren't his own descendants, so it's none of his business how they live.

He closed his eyes.

"Alright, alright, this is your in-laws' business, I'm not going to get involved anymore. Laiwu, I hope you won't regret it later."

Zhao, hurry up and pack your things, take the children, and go back to your parents' home.

Anyone who dares to stop you from going back to your parents' home today is going against this old man.

Anyone who disagrees will be expelled from the village.

After saying that, the village chief just stared at Yue Jiangshi's hand, waiting to see when she would let go.

When Yue Jiangshi saw that her husband had been beaten by the village chief, even if she was stupid, she knew that the village chief was angry.

Looking again at the village chief's gaze, it seemed as if there was real fire burning him, causing Yue Jiangshi to let go of his hand.

Freed from her predicament, Zhao Fangzhi went to the village chief, knelt down before him while holding her child, and then tried to kowtow, but the village chief stopped her.

"Zhao, what are you doing? Please get up quickly and take the child back to your parents' home."

The old man can't do much more than this; this is all he can help you with.

The village chief sighed; he truly felt powerless.

All reasoning is meant for those who understand; clearly, the Yue family is all stupid.

Zhao Fangzhi naturally understood the village chief's meaning, thanked him again, and got onto the Huang family's oxcart.
