The three younger brothers of the Huo family all came, and there were also several people from the house opposite, both men and women.
They are arguing.
"None of your business. This is our Group 3's business. You intercepted our water flow, and since our millet harvest is poor, we have to harvest it from your fields!"
"Why is it none of our business? You are bullying my sister-in-law.
This water flows into my sister-in-law's field. You divert it to your own side and still have the nerve to cause trouble? Don't you see that this field is almost dry and cracking!
How can you do things like this? We are from the same village, and you are bullying two women, right? "
Li Mo said to Xiang Nan with an angry look on her face, "As for Feng Mingli's family, their water supply should have been full these past two days, but they refused to release the water.
Look at how dry our land has become. They would rather put the water somewhere else than leave it in our fields.
It’s too bullying.”
In previous years, after they diverted the water to irrigate their own fields, they would ask Xiangnan's family to divert the water back.
But today, when Huo Yun came to divert water, he was directly stopped by Feng Mingli's family. Huo Yun remembered what his eldest brother had told him: no one could bully his sister-in-law.
He immediately went back to call his two brothers, pushed away the people in Feng Mingli's family, and diverted the water to Xiangnan's fields.
Feng Mingli's second daughter-in-law also went home and called people over, but she refused to let them take the water away, which made Li Mo so angry that her face turned blue.
"The Xiang family isn't a farming family. They're a big business family. They don't need our water for irrigation. Today, I'm going to see who dares to touch the water in our fields."
"I'm going to make a move today. It seems you've bullied our sister-in-law before. Get out of here!"
Huo Yun was impatient and pushed Feng Mingli to the ground.
When Feng Mingli's two sons saw their mother being pushed, they rushed up and started fighting with the three brothers of the Huo family.
When the three brothers of the Huo family saw their sister-in-law being bullied like this, they wanted to take revenge and showed no mercy. The three of them teamed up to beat up Feng Mingli's family.
Of course they were injured too.
Feng Mingli and his family hadn't expected the three Huo family members to be so capable of fighting. They stood up and yelled at them, "Just wait! I'll kill you today if you meddle in other people's business!"
"Hey, Aunt Feng, who are you going to kill?" Xiangnan slid in from behind the crowd and said, "You want to fight, right? I, Xiangnan, will be sitting right here. If you have the guts, just step over my dead body.
Otherwise, don't even think about intercepting this water flow. Logically, this water should be used to irrigate my fields first.
In the past, we had a small family and could not compete with yours, so we did not bother with you. We let you fill the fields first, and then we would irrigate them. Because of this, our millet harvest was delayed every year, and the yield was reduced a lot.
I didn't expect you to bully me like this this year. You filled your own house with crops, but you won't let me fill my own. You want me to have nothing to harvest!
Taking someone's food is equivalent to taking their life. Come, today it's either you or me."
Xiangnan took a small stool and sat down on the edge of the field.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. We are here. No matter how many people he calls, we can defeat them." Huo Yun shouted loudly.
Huo Qing thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if they are beaten to death or crippled, just let them lie in bed for a few days."
Huo Sheng shook his head: "Second brother, you are always so kind. If you don't cripple a few people, they will bully my sister-in-law again in the future."
Feng Mingli said with a spitting sound: "What sister-in-law? Everyone in Daxiang Village knows that the three brothers of your Huo family can't get married. Who would be willing to marry into your family with only three thatched houses at home?
Since you can't find a wife, you want to get some benefits from Xiangnan, right? Don't you look in the mirror? She doesn't even like Zhang Hao, so how can she like you three damn guys?
Xiangnan, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Zhang Hao doesn't want you anymore, but don't degrade yourself like this. What kind of people are those who sell their bodies..."
"Fuck, who the hell are you calling a prostitute? You called my sister-in-law a prostitute?" Huo Yun kicked Feng Mingli in the stomach, picked up a stone at his feet and threw it at her mouth: "You stinky mouth, you're talking nonsense!"
Xiangnan's eyes lit up. Huo Yun was a good guy. He really dared to take action when something happened.
Xiang Nantian is fearless and is most afraid of others causing trouble. As long as she doesn't bully others first, she will not be soft-hearted if others bully her.
She had allowed them to bully her before, firstly because the fields were still irrigated in the end, and secondly, she was too busy with business to take care of the fields.
But Feng Mingli's family was too excessive.
He was jealous of her making money in business, so he prevented her from farming.
I hate people who have no ability, don’t work hard, but envy others’ hard work the most.
Feng Mingli's family members who were beaten had no choice but to fight again, but they couldn't win in the first place, and the three brothers of the Huo family were really angry now, so they were beaten again.
The Feng family's relatives rushed over with hoes in hand. Counting them, there were about twenty of them. Xiangnan was worried that the three Huo brothers would suffer, so he quickly said, "Go to the back and be quiet."
Xiangnan waved his hand and asked them to stand behind him.
She sat on a low stool and laughed: "Oh, you called so many helpers, you are going to do something big, right? Who can help me call the village chief and ask him if he cares about the martyr's family being bullied by dozens of people from Feng Mingli's family.
If he doesn't care, as long as I'm not dead today, I'll go to the county and sue him for condoning the murderer and beating and killing the martyr's family. He's dissatisfied with his superiors and wants to rebel! "
When Feng Mingli's relatives heard this, they dared not move. Fighting is one thing, but if it escalates to killing the martyr's family members, they will be sent to jail.
No matter how ferocious the rural people are, they never intend to take anyone's life.
Feng Mingli's second daughter-in-law cursed: "Bah, who hits and kills who? You have beaten our family to such a state. You have even knocked out my mother's teeth. How will she eat in the future?"
"People who talk too much deserve to have their teeth cut off. My husband's three legitimate brothers are rumored to have an abnormal relationship with me. Shouldn't I be beaten?
Don't you forget that the last foul-mouthed guy is now lying in the county hospital. How can he eat when his mouth is full of feces?
Aren’t you here to help? Come on, hit me on the head, I want to see who is squatting in the police station!
My brother sacrificed his life for our country and was posthumously recognized as a martyr. Now that he is gone, his sister, wife, and son will be bullied by a bunch of useless people like you!
I usually let you guys have your little fights, and I don't bother with you because we are from the same village.
Do you really think that no one in our family is easy to bully? The government is behind me. Come and fight me if you have the guts. I think you have some guts. Come on, hit me on the head with a hoe and I'll die.
What? You don't want to smash it, you don't dare? If you don't dare to show off, just go back to where you came from."
Xiangnan sat there calmly, scolded the man, and threatened him to come if he had the guts.
Feng Mingli's relatives were shaking with their hands holding the hoe. How could they dare to use the hoe? What if Xiangnan fell to the ground and said she wanted to kill her? They all said they would not clean up.
Usually, Xiangnan's family never talks about the martyr's family, so everyone forgets about it.
Now, even the village chief has to be taken care of.
