"Look at the dirt on me. If he didn't push it, how could I have fallen on it myself?"
"How old am I? Can I still lie?"
Lu Shunzhi spoke in a bad tone.
Chen Lichu is a man with more tricks than a sieve.
They have been very close to the village chief recently. Maybe they gave him gifts, which is why he always favors their family.
"You can't lie, you can lie with your eyes open!" Lu Yaozu rolled his eyes, "How about you swear an oath, whoever strikes first will die first."
Lu Yangming quickly pulled Lu Yaozu's arm and said, "Brother, he's so old, he will definitely die before you."
Lu Yaozu took a breath and thought it was too hasty.
"Whoever strikes first will die a miserable death. Do you dare to swear?" Lu Yangming felt that this statement could scare Lu Shunzhi.
But Lu Shunzhi chuckled lightly, with a look of disdain on his face: "Childish!"
Liu Zhongyi sighed. After all, they were just two children, and he felt they were childish.
When it comes to swearing, it's just a matter of saying it and forgetting it. It doesn't mean it will really come true.
Who cares about this?
Liu Zhongyi glanced at Lu Shunzhi and said, "Alright, stop arguing. You're all family and there's no deep hatred between you. Let's just let this go."
"Forget it?" Lu Shunzhi frowned. "He beat me up and you're just going to let it go?"
"Yeah, how can we just let it go like this?"
"Village Chief, aren't you too partial?"
Zhang Xiujuan also looked dissatisfied. Was her man beaten for nothing?
What is the village chief here for?
Being a peacemaker?
Or are you here to help those two little brats of Chen Lichu?
"Why would I be partial?" Liu Zhongyi glared. As a village chief, he was always fair and just, and he hated it most when people said he was partial.
The facts are right here, who is he partial to?
"You say he started it first, and he says you started it first. Who do you want me to believe?"
"If you don't listen to my mediation, call the police. You have to listen to the police."
"Anyway, it's not me who will be embarrassed if our family ends up at the police station."
Liu Zhongyi is a decent man. If his family members quarreled and went to the police station, that would be much more embarrassing than quarreling with outsiders and going to the police station.
Not only him, he thinks that everyone in the village will avoid this matter, right?
Who wants others to know that there is discord in their family?
"Then call the police!" Liu Ermei said arrogantly, "I don't believe the police will side with the person who hit someone!"
"Call the police. When the police come, I will tell them that I saw it clearly here." Song Shujuan's voice suddenly came from the top of the wall.
Everyone looked over in shock.
"Did you see it? Tell me what happened." Liu Zhongyi asked hurriedly.
"I saw it clearly. It was Lu Shunzhi who pushed Lu Yaozu first. Lu Yaozu wanted to block it but accidentally pushed him."
"Then he bumped into the door again. Lu Yangming in the yard opened the door, and he lost his balance and fell backwards into the yard."
"Strictly speaking, Lu Yangming belongs to...belongs to..." Song Shujuan thought for a moment. What was the word called? Chen Lichu kept repeating it to her.
"Yes, it's self-defense."
"Lu Shunzhi knew he lost his balance and bumped into the iron gate."
"How can you be so embarrassed as to blackmail a younger person at such an old age?"
Song Shujuan had a face full of sarcasm.
Liu Zhongyi turned to look at Lu Shunzhi: "There are witnesses who saw this, what else do you have to say?"
Before he could speak, she continued, "How dare you, four of you, slander a child who is from the same family?"
"Village chief, are you crazy? You believe everything she says? This is his neighbor, of course he's speaking for him." Zhang Xiujuan was waiting for Liu Zhongyi viciously, feeling completely justified and confident!
"Why are you cursing at people? The village chief came here with good intentions to help you settle the situation. It would be fine if you didn't know how to be grateful, but why are you cursing at people?" Song Shujuan looked surprised, as if she had never seen such a shameless person before.
After saying this, he looked at the village chief with sympathy.
The village chief had a lot of grievances, and Song Shujuan really touched his heart.
"Look at how you flatter me." Liu Ermei glanced at Song Shujuan with disdain. "We are all honest people. We always speak the truth and say what we want to say directly. Unlike some people who only know how to flatter me."
"There is no justice in this world."
Liu Zhongyi was so angry that his face turned blue. Wasn't this a hint that he was biased?
"I can't handle your family's affairs. You should call the police immediately." Liu Zhongyi said and turned away.
He happened to run into Chen Lichu, Li and Lu Qiuyue who were coming towards him.
Chen Lichu walked over quickly and said, "We are bothering the village chief again because of our family's affairs."
Liu Zhongyi shook his head. "Your relative is very troublesome. I suggest you call the police and solve this problem right away, so they won't have to come and bother you every now and then."
"No need to call the police. I know exactly what they're up to. I'm here today to explain things to them. I'd like to ask the village chief to bear witness for us. I'm going to sever my mother-son relationship with these two rebellious sons."
After Li finished speaking, Lu Shunzhi was dumbfounded: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"What do you mean by severing the mother-son relationship?" Lu Xingzhi on the side was also panicked.
If this had happened in the past, the two brothers would have been more than happy to do so.
My old mother is getting older and older. If she has a headache or fever in the future, she will definitely need someone to take care of her, and it will cost a lot of money.
If they sever their ties, this matter will be handled by Lu Yunzhi and his wife.
However, times are different now.
Her mother is now married to a rich man, but he doesn't have any children.
When I die in the future, the inheritance will at least be divided equally among the three brothers, right?
If they cut off ties now, wouldn't they be unable to inherit the rich old man's estate?
No, absolutely not!
Zhang Xiujuan immediately put on a smile, walked up to Li, and affectionately put her arm around her: "Mom, calm down. Shunzhi and Yaozu quarreled in the heat of the moment."
"We are trying to persuade you."
"We're all family, how can there be so much hatred? We can just have a few arguments and it's over."
After saying that, he winked at Lu Shunzhi.
Lu Shunzhi quickly said, "My wife is right. We are all family. Quarreling will only hurt the harmony."
"Let's forget about today's matter. My sister-in-law should just educate these two children properly, so that they won't be criticized for being uneducated when they go out into society."
Chen Lichu was so angry that she laughed. People really laugh when they are speechless.
"What do you think?"
"They blocked my door and cursed us, and my son couldn't even speak up for me?"
"If I say anything, you'll hit me. If I don't hit you, you'll slander my son and say he hit you."
"Lu Shunzhi, how much shit is in your head? To do such a shameless thing?"
"Village chief, you heard it, she was swearing." Zhang Xiujuan seized the opportunity to complain.
The village chief is here, and her mother-in-law is here too. She definitely can't quarrel with Chen Lichu at this time.
Liu Zhongyi turned his head away and pretended not to hear.
