This is when the fighting power of these old women is brought into play. Normally, they are the most powerful when they quarrel. They can scold their opponents speechless, and they can curse their opponents' ancestors with different words for eighteen generations, and they can also scold you so much that you want to crawl into the ground. -- --
While cursing, some people were also spreading the strange things about the Huang family. Of course, this time it was not just about the Du family, Huang Zhong was also the focus, which was what Xia Ruzheng meant.
Xia Ruzheng hated Huang Zhong the most. If it weren't for this man, her past life wouldn't have been so miserable, and she wouldn't have died with a good reputation. She really wanted to grind Huang Zhong into ashes, but she knew that was impossible. So she had to completely destroy Huang Zhong, making it impossible for him to climb up, to stand over others and show off his power, and to oppress those poor people. Although her memory was not clear, Xia Ruzheng remembered that many people had become victims of Huang Zhong's struggle for power and profit. That was not the fate they deserved!
Huang Zhong allegedly instructed Du to spread messages, not just to the Xia sisters, but to other people as well. For example, a quarrel between brothers was sparked by a fabricated message accusing the second brother's wife of gossiping about the third brother's family, leading to a confrontation and a falling out. Others spread rumors that the boys had mobility issues or were alcoholics. In short, they ruined the lives of many people visiting their relatives. Why, you ask? Do bad people need a reason to do good? They're simply unhappy that other families are better off than they are!
These were not empty words. Xia Ruzheng knew exactly what the Huang family had done. Sometimes when Mrs. Du talked about these things, she was quite proud. Everyone was fooled by her, but no one noticed!
As for the motive, Xia Ruzheng had indeed never figured it out.
When the onlookers heard this, they suddenly realized what was going on! No wonder things were so strange! In this case, this family was not only the troublemakers in the family, but also the evil ones who made life miserable for everyone!
Moreover, those aunts and young wives were even more talented than the storytellers. Their tone, movements and expressions made the stories full of climaxes and gripping stories. Even if it had nothing to do with their own family, others were inevitably attracted to it. They were surprised and exclaimed as the story developed, and then confirmed with others that they had indeed heard some rumors at that time. They did not expect that these were all planned and spread by Huang Zhong and the mother and son of the Du family!
As for Du stealing other people's vegetables, touching other people's eggs, and even catching other people's lost chickens or ducks, these were all trivial matters.
"Village chief! People like this must be kicked out!"
"Yes! Get them out! It's their family that's causing all the trouble!"
"You have to take charge of this for me! They steal our things every year, and we can't live like this anymore!"
Everyone cried out in unison, and the village chief of Tile Village was suddenly pushed to the forefront. The village chief was also complaining bitterly. In the past, he had helped the Huang family clean up the mess, but he had to advise the orphans and widows every day that it was not easy. Now the resentment had accumulated and everyone could not bear it anymore. So he exploded.
But it is not so easy to drive a family away. Although the village chief still has considerable power, it is not as strong as before. Since the Huang family’s household registration is here, he must give them land and let them settle here. As the village chief, he can teach them a lesson and make things difficult for them, but he cannot drive them away!
The village chief had no choice but to stand up and said, "Okay, I know everyone is angry, and I'm angry too. The Huang family's troublemaking has caused me a lot of trouble, but it's impossible to drive them away. Their household registration is here, and that can't be changed! How about this? Let Du and Huang Zhong swear an oath not to cause trouble again. If you do, I'll make your family give a few buckets of rice from the harvest to everyone as an apology! This time, Huang Zhong, you take your mother to each family to apologize! You're an educated person, so of course you know better than your mother. Don't do things like this again!"
The village chief had no choice, otherwise he would have wanted to kick out the troublesome mother and son from the Huang family! To be able to become the village chief, he was not a pushover. He had long known that this mother and son were not good people, but things could not be so easily fulfilled.
Everyone was still indignant, but since what the village chief said made sense, they had no choice but to accept it. Then everyone started discussing how to apologize and how to supervise the Huang family in the future.
The people of Tile Village were appeased, but the people of other villages were not so easy to get rid of. If the people of Tile Village could get an apology, they should be able to as well, right? After all, Huang Zhong and the Du family had offended them! The Xia family was not the only one to be affected.
The village chief had no choice but to pull Huang Zhong to bow and apologize to everyone, but bowing and apologizing could not make up for the harm that the Huang family had brought to everyone. This matter could not be settled all at once. The village chiefs of each village needed to hold a meeting together to find a way to solve this problem.
Those young wives and aunts weren't too happy yet, because they hadn't started arguing with Mrs. Du yet, and hadn't scolded her enough to make her faint! Speaking of which, scolding people like the Huang family is the most satisfying. They're covered in insults, which is really inspiring! And you get paid for scolding them! It's really hard to find such a good thing in the world!
They wanted to catch Du and continue scolding her, but Wen Zhichao and Liu Guoqing felt that things had come to this point and that was enough. At least what Huang Zhong and the Huang family had done had been exposed, and everyone knew about it, so their goal had been achieved.
Wen Zhichao thought, even if he took his wife out to do business, she would stand out too much and easily become the center of attention. If he stayed home, someone would frame him for adultery or something. Would he believe it or not? How could he save his wife?
