Chapter 172 Xiong Kai Finds Trouble
Niu entered the room in surprise, "Brother, who made you so angry?"
"Yes, uncle, tell me what's the matter. Your nephew will stand up for you!" Xiong Kai said, patting his chest.
Niu Youfu saw that their expressions had eased a lot, so he told them all the frustrating things that had happened at home during this period.
Niu frowned when she heard this. "The Wei family is going too far! If they want to take back the land, they should have told us in advance. If they don't tell us, they are cheating us!"
Xiong Kai stood up and was about to go out, "I'm going to go and talk to them!"
As he spoke he pressed his fingers twice, not as if he was going to reason but as if he was going to fight.
Niu Youfu quickly stopped the man, his eyes flickering, "Don't go, your uncle is the village chief and he can't do anything to them, you will suffer if you go there."
"Uncle, we can't just let it go like this, otherwise everyone will be able to bully you in the future." Xiong Kai stubbornly pulled Niu Youfu away and rushed towards the Wei family with great momentum.
Niu Youfu pretended to pull it once and then let go.
Xiong Kai arrived at the Wei family and asked Liu Jinhua, who was working in the yard, rudely: "You are the ones who bullied my uncle and left him with no land to farm?"
"Who are you?" Liu Jinhua put down her work, frowned and stood up.
Xiong Kai said in a gruff voice: "I am Xiong Kai, the nephew of Niu Youfu! You must give me an explanation today, otherwise this matter will not end!"
Liu Jinhua didn't expect that Niu Youfu would not give up even after the incident. She got angry and shouted at the top of her voice, "Okay! You want an explanation, right? Let's go! Report to the authorities! Let the officials decide who is right and who is wrong! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're tall and strong!"
Xiong Kai didn't expect that an old woman would dare to confront him like this. He narrowed his eyes viciously and gritted his teeth, "You old woman, don't think I don't dare to hit you!"
"Come on, come on! If you have the guts, try to hit me! You are Xiong Kai, right? Niu Youfu's nephew, right? I've got this under my belt! Come quickly, fellow villagers! Someone's been murdered, someone's been murdered!" Liu Jinhua shouted as she lay on the ground.
Soon some villagers came running over.
No one saw anything. They only saw Liu Jinhua lying on the ground and the tall and strong Xiong Kai. They subconsciously thought that Xiong Kai had done it because he looked at him with an unfriendly and angry look.
Wei Daya rushed out from the vegetable patch in the backyard and saw Liu Jinhua lying on the ground. She burst into tears out of fear, "Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
At this moment, Wei Laoqi also rushed over from the blacksmith shop next door. He was so angry at the scene that his eyes turned red and his anger went straight to his head. "Asshole, I will fight you!"
Xiong Kai was shocked and angry, and subconsciously reached out to resist.
Suddenly a shrill howl was heard in the yard.
Niu Youfu and Niu Shi, who were chasing the bear, heard the sound and their faces changed at the same time.
When they squeezed into the crowd, they saw Xiong Kai lying on the ground, curled up and groaning in pain.
Niu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Niu Youfu's face turned pale, and he pointed at the Wei family members tremblingly, "You all! This matter is not over yet!"
After making these harsh remarks, he quickly asked the nearby villagers for help to carry Xiong Kai and Niu Shi back.
Wei Yi and others who rushed back from the fields ran all the way.
When Chen heard that Liu Jinhua was seriously injured, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that if Liu Jinhua fell, no one would be able to suppress her. Unexpectedly, when she entered the room, she saw Liu Jinhua intact, and her expression froze instantly.
He asked unnaturally, "Mom, where are you hurt?"
Liu Jinhua drank some water to cover up her guilty conscience. "I just twisted my waist, but I feel much better now."
Wei Yi and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're alright. What happened just now?"
Wei Daya explained the whole thing in a hoarse voice, "It was all that Xiong Kai. He came to our house to cause trouble and threatened grandma. Grandma was scared by him and fell down. Grandpa was working and rushed over to fight Xiong Kai when he heard the noise.
Because he was so anxious and angry, he forgot that he was holding the red-hot iron pliers. It was also the fault of Xiong Kai's recklessness that he actually used his arm to block it and got burned. "
Everyone knows what Wei Laoqi's iron pliers look like. Getting burned by them is no small matter.
For a moment, Chen's face turned pale with fright. She subconsciously covered her arms and dared not breathe.
Wei Laoqi and his wife looked at each other silently, feeling extremely guilty. They dared not say a word, thus tacitly agreeing with their granddaughter's statement.
So, what happened in the Wei family spread according to the version told by Wei Daya.
Village chief Liu Zhu and Niu Cuihua rushed to Niu Youfu's house and asked, "How is Xiong Kai?"
Niu Youfu was filled with righteous indignation and yelled, "Brother-in-law, you are the village chief, you have to make the decision for our nephew! That Wei Laoqi is too outrageous. How could he burn someone with those red-hot iron tongs? It's obvious that he wants to kill someone! We can't just let this go!"
Mrs. Niu was crying beside him, her eyes full of resentment. "Brother-in-law, I only have this precious son. He has never suffered such a great hardship since he was a child. You must make the decision for him!"
Liu Zhu was angry and distressed. He walked up to Xiong Kai and said, "Tell me honestly why you went to the Wei family? What did you do there?"
"Brother-in-law, the Wei family bullies my eldest brother so much, and my son is just standing up for his uncle. What's wrong with that?" Niu was dissatisfied with Liu Zhu's attitude and retorted angrily.
Liu Zhu was furious, "You know nothing! The Wei family was wrong for not informing us in advance, but my brother-in-law was found to have withheld other people's food. Does he still have the right?"
"What do you mean?" Niu looked at Niu Youfu blankly.
Niu Youfu's eyes flickered and his face flushed. "Akai ran away before I could say anything. Oh! This is the cause of the trouble..."
Niu's heart suddenly felt cold. It turned out that her son was wrong to stand up for his uncle. Was he suffering in vain?
Xiong Kai had not expected this to happen, and his anger was immediately half extinguished.
Niu Cuihua grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Even so, they can't burn people with pliers!"
Niu perked up, "That's right, how could they be so excessive!"
Liu Zhu looked at them with a complicated expression, "Do you know what people outside are saying? People outside are now saying that it was Xiong Kai who first caused Liu Jinhua to fall, and that Wei Laoqi was just eager to protect his wife and didn't think too much about it. There are also people who testified, so it's useless for you to say anything!
It was not my fault in the first place, and I thought they were scared because they didn't pursue it! If the matter gets out of hand, I, the village chief, won't stand any good either!"
The villagers already had some complaints about Niu Youfu being the only one cultivating the Wei family's land, and if they brought up the past, he would be blamed as well.
Niu Cuihua didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
After Liu Zhu left, she secretly stuffed some silver into Niu's hand and whispered, "Your brother-in-law has a hard time as the village chief, so don't blame him. Take this money to treat Akai's injuries first, and don't cause trouble for the Wei family again.
They were never reasonable people to begin with, and now that they have married into the Shen family of Shen Village, they are even more disregarding of us."
"Who are you talking about? Chen Zhuang? Second Uncle Chen Yi?" Xiong Kai asked with eyes wide open.
