Not to mention the relatives who came to help Feng Mingli, even Feng Mingli himself was a little scared. Since Xiangnan had moved out as a martyr's family member, who would dare to touch her?
Besides, her family was not in the right in this matter.
Village chief Zhang Ming hurried over at this time.
"What are you doing? What are you all doing with your hoes? You've never been so active since the Japs entered the village!"
Zhang Ming had no intention of intervening. It was common in the village for people to occupy farmland and grab irrigation water. They would fight and whoever won would own the farmland.
He had no relationship with Xiangnan's family, and his nephew had broken up with him. Even though he knew that Xiangnan's family would definitely not win the fight, he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
But who would have thought that Xiangnan would call him by name? As the village chief, could he just sit there and watch the martyr's family being bullied?
"The village chief is here." Zhou Xiumei shouted behind Zhang Ming. It was she who ran to inform Zhang Ming.
Xiangnan gave her a grateful smile, then said to Zhang Ming: "Village chief, let me ask you, is the irrigation of the village's paddy fields solved by fighting?"
If he dared to say yes, Xiangnan would beat them today so that they would never dare to steal water from her house again.
I have to file a complaint at the county level tomorrow.
Zhang Ming didn't dare to say that. He smiled and said, "Of course not. This water belongs to everyone. Everyone can use it. Just take it from each family. Why are you arguing over such a small thing? Let's all go!"
"That's fine, village chief. The water from this canal flows to my house first, so it's reasonable for me to use the water to irrigate my fields first, right? I don't have the time to argue with Feng Mingli's family about this every year.
Since we've started a fight, let's make things clear. Let's fill my house with water first, then fill theirs. This is in accordance with the rules, what do you think, Village Chief?"
Zhang Ming coughed lightly and said, "That's what we should do, Feng Mingli. Xiangnan's family has had a hard time. Her brother sacrificed his life for the country. You should take care of her family."
Let Xiangnan and the others fill the water first, it won’t delay your family.”
What else could Feng Mingli say? He snorted and took his sons, who were beaten black and blue, home.
Xiangnan quickly said to the village chief, "It's good to have a village chief. We have been bullied for two years, and you helped us as soon as you came.
If I get a chance, I will definitely go to the county and tell the leaders that the village chief is giving special treatment to us, the families of martyrs."
Zhang Ming waved his hand: "Alright, alright, everyone go away."
"Wait, Village Chief, these three are my husband's younger brothers. I got married to the eldest son of Huo Mengxiong's family.
In recent days, some people have been saying bad things about my husband. He is in the army and was injured while on duty.
"Village head, you still have to take care of what needs to be taken care of. This village is always making up stories about people joining the army. If other villages knew about this, they would think our village is ostracizing soldiers and rejecting soldiers who work for the country."
"How could we reject them? Our village loves soldiers the most. Every time we recruit soldiers, our village is the most active. Don't worry, they won't dare to gossip about us in the future."
"Okay, thank you, Village Chief. I made some braised pork yesterday. It tasted delicious. I'll send a bowl to your house later. You've worked hard. Goodbye."
"No, no, it's my duty to do things for the village. How can I accept gifts?"
Zhang Ming said this and left, but the onlookers had not yet dispersed.
They whispered to each other, "Xiangnan married that thirty-year-old man from Huo Mengxiong's family who still hasn't married?"
"I knew she couldn't find a good family. Only a family like this would be suitable for her."
"What do you think she wants? Zhang Hao is rich, good-looking, and young, but she doesn't want him. She'd rather find an old man with three thatched huts."
"It's not that she doesn't want him, it's that Li Lanjiang doesn't like her, so Zhang Hao broke up with her."
"Huo Mengxiong's family only has a few rooms. No wonder the old man came back and stayed at Xiangnan's house to recuperate."
"You better stop talking. He's a soldier, a wounded soldier. What good will come of goingssip about him?
Whether Xiangnan is willing to marry is her own business, but she will suffer in the future, just wait and see."
Everyone talked for a while and then dispersed.
Xiangnan and the three brothers of the Huo family ignored all this. They were conscientiously getting water to irrigate the fields.
After that, Xiangnan invited them to his home, gave them ointment and asked them to apply it on their wounds.
The three of them look thin, but they are fierce when fighting. However, they don’t really know kung fu, so they will get hurt if they fight.
A fighting style that kills one thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of your own.
While applying the medicine, Huo Yun said to Huo De, "Sister-in-law is really amazing. There were more than 20 people from that family, but she put us in the back and just sat there, blocking the way with one person!
The group of people rushed over, but the sister-in-law made them stay there with just two words, not daring to move. They wished they could throw away the hoe in their hands.
The eldest sister-in-law said a lot of things, scolding them like dogs that had lost their homes, just like what they said in the opera, where they won the battle without bloodshed.
Huo Sheng nodded: "Yes, it's much better than our brute force. Sister-in-law is very smart. Brother, you really know how to choose a wife."
After his second brother got married, it was his turn to choose a wife.
I wish he could be as picky as his elder brother.
After listening to them, Hood finally understood the great achievements his little wife had made outside.
"You didn't let your sister-in-law get bullied, did you?"
"Of course not. We were the ones who fought, and they didn't even touch a hair of my sister-in-law's head."
"Okay, you did a good job. You should do this in the future. Our Huo family never causes trouble, but don't be afraid of it when it comes."
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you if anything happens."
With such a high status as the eldest brother, what is there to be afraid of? Huo Yun does not have any psychological burden at all.
With his elder brother's words, he dares to do anything, since he has the tall guy to support him.
