Chapter 28 The husband sings and the wife follows



Hu Dahai hurriedly took out the document and showed it to the head of the village.

The village head nodded: "That's exactly what it says."

It was his suggestion at the time, and the boy from the Fu family wrote it down and also included his name as the village head.

The Hu family was stunned on the spot.

I originally wanted to destroy the crops so that the Fu family would not get any advantage, but I didn't expect that they would end up harvesting half of my crops.

He really shot himself in the foot!

"I've returned the land to you, and you've taken the crops. Get out of my house!"

Qian picked up the broom again and prepared to chase the man away.

Fu Ciyi continued, "The Hu family committed murder for money, attempted murder, and injured someone. Now, are you planning to take the case to court or settle the matter privately?"

The voice was so cold that not a single ripple could be heard.

When he said this, he couldn't help but cheer for Yan Funing's words about murder for money.

It is undeniable that this woman has a very active mind.

Hu Xingwang straightened his neck and said proudly, "Let's sue each other. Let's see whether the county magistrate will help you or us."

"Dad, they were driven to the countryside. My uncles and cousins will definitely help our family." Hu Ajing's panic just now calmed down in an instant, "Get out of my house now."

As he spoke, he tried to snatch the sickle from Yan Funing's hand.

"The sickle is evidence. What do you want?" Yan Funing hid behind Fu Ciyi to make sure Hu Ajing couldn't get involved. She poked her head out and said, "Then everyone in Ling County will know that you, Hu Ajing, are so brave that you dared to cut people with a sickle."

As she spoke, she unconsciously grabbed the fabric on someone's waist.

Fu Ciyi's whole body stiffened, and he felt an itch on his waist.

Does this woman know that men and women should not touch each other?

But this was not the time to think about this. His eyes darkened and he said, "Go home."

"Okay." Yan Funing responded crisply, and then called out, "Bei Mo, let's go."

However, they didn't expect that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fu and Qian families blocked their way.

"Don't leave yet."

Fearing that they might disagree, Fu added, "We can discuss this!"

Yan Funing exclaimed, "You guys have a strong backing, what else is there to discuss?"

Hu Ajing rushed over: "Grandma, Mom, what's wrong with you? We will definitely win the lawsuit!"

Mrs. Fu glanced at her granddaughter, frowned, and the wrinkles on her face deepened instantly.

Qian pulled Hu Ajing's arm and lowered her voice, "If we really go to court, everyone in Ling County will know that you dare to hurt people recklessly, even men. How will you find your husband then?"

Not to mention finding a live-in son-in-law, even getting married is a problem.

Besides, it is true that her daughter Ajing cut someone.

Even if the county magistrate defended them and ruled in their favor, her daughter Ajing's reputation would be almost ruined.

Thinking of this, Qian said loudly: "Let's settle it privately."

"At this moment, we don't want to settle it privately."

Fu Ciyi's voice was so faint that it was blown away by the wind.

Fu hurried back to the house, took out a sickle, and grabbed Hu Ajing's wrist.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

Hu Ajing had never seen her grandmother look like this before. She felt anxious and her hands were shaking.

Fu hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and quickly cut her granddaughter's arm with a sickle.

Suddenly, a sound like slaughtering a pig was heard.

Hu Ajing cried and rolled on the ground.

Fu then said to Fu Ciyi, "A knife for a knife, isn't that fair?"

Fu Ciyi stood there indifferently and did not respond.

Fu Beimo was puzzled: "She cut me, you cut her, and my brother and sister-in-law and I didn't do anything. How can this be fair?"

The Hu family immediately started cursing.

The village head said, "If you ask me, let this matter rest."

He finally understood that the second branch of the Fu family had driven Wan Niang and her family out of the house out of her heart. Now that Fu had stabbed her granddaughter, she was also cruel.

Fu Ciyi glanced at Zhongzheng indifferently, then left with Yan Funing and Fu Beimo.

On the way, Yan Funing gave Fu Beimo a thumbs up: "Beimo is really smart, and the summary just now was really good!"

Fu Beimo nodded happily: "They cut it themselves, we didn't force them."

Fu Ciyi suddenly said, "Bei Mo was injured, so logically the Hu family girl should have been stabbed as well."

This is a tooth for a tooth.

Of course he disdains to do it.

Now the Hu family is doing it themselves, which is in line with his idea.

Yan Funing suddenly realized and asked quietly, "Just now, when you asked them whether they wanted to fight the lawsuit or settle it privately, were you trying to get them to do it themselves?"

"Aren't you cooperating well?" Fu Ciyi asked back.

Fu Beimo suddenly laughed out loud and clapped his hands in approval: "I know, this is called husband singing and wife following."

Fu Ciyi: “…”

Yan Funing held her forehead with her hand. What kind of husband-wife-singing relationship is this?

The three of them walked home in unison.

Fu Beimo was walking in the middle, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the expressions of his brother and sister-in-law beside him.

He asked himself, "Is my sister-in-law still selling winter bamboo shoots?"

"It's probably too late to go to town now," Yan Funing sighed. "I was thinking of selling the winter bamboo shoots and buying some walnut kernels, sesame seeds, and glutinous rice flour. That way, we can make glutinous rice balls tonight and have a good Lantern Festival."

Fu Beimo's mouth sank: "It's all the Hu family's fault!"

Fu Ciyi said, "Although many vendors have left early, the shops are still there."

"That's right, I'll go now."

After saying this, Yan Funing quickened her pace.

Fu Beimo followed her closely: "Sister-in-law, I want to go to town too."

Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi: "This..."

Fu Ciyi thought that to prevent the Hu family from causing trouble, he had to stay home. Bei Mo went to town with a woman and could help her carry heavy things...

So he nodded in agreement.

The three returned home.

Fu Ciyi returned to his room to copy books.

Fu Beimo carried the winter bamboo shoots on his back and followed Yan Funing to the village entrance to ride on the ox cart driven by Li.
