Seeing their loud chatter and the fifth son running away quickly with Sisi in his arms, Qin was terrified, her heart leaping into her throat.
"Fifth brother, slow down, don't fall and hurt Sisi."
Xie Yan stopped and unconsciously moved his legs, only then realizing as if from a dream that his legs were really healed.
He can run and jump now!
"You brat, you want everything!" Zhou Erqian snatched the purse and glared fiercely at Sisi.
Sisi stuck her tongue out at him, "Second Brother is so naughty! He won't even let Sisi look at him, how annoying!"
Zhou Erqian stuffed the baby into her arms and snorted, "You've made me dirty. Who knows what kind of dirty things your hands touch every day without washing them?"
"Touching poop."
Sisi touched his arm, her bright eyes full of innocence, "Sisi touched it and it smelled bad."
Zhou Erqian was so angry that he wanted to pinch her face, but Qin Shi grabbed him and said, "Alright, stop making a fuss. Come with your mother to the village and see what trouble your second uncle might be causing this time."
He then gave up.
"Mother, I'll go too," Xie Yan said softly.
Since Erguoguo and Da Mowang are going, she wants to go too.
Sisi waved her chubby little hands excitedly, "Mommy, Sisi wants to go too! Sisi wants to go to the village chief's house too!"
Qin chuckled, "You little rascal, what are you going to do? You won't be able to contribute in a fight."
"Sisi, go protect Mommy and Guoguo, heave-ho!" The little one clenched her fist and pounded the air hard, making a cute little sound.
Down with the bad guys!!!
Qin was completely charmed; her little girl was just too adorable, almost too cute to be true.
"Okay, okay, let's all go as a family."
On the way to the village chief's house.
Sisi hugged the Demon King's neck and saw his gaze glancing at her more than once.
She bit her finger and let her mind wander.
Why is the Great Demon King always watching her?
His gaze was as intense as Sisi's when she saw a big chicken leg.
roar?
Sisi's big eyes suddenly widened.
Is the Demon King thinking about how to eat her?
No, no, the great demon king undergoing tribulation has no magic power. He can't defeat her at all and won't eat her.
Why is he always staring at her like that?
Sisi racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out.
Xie Yan watched her face change from fear to anger, a very rich expression, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
What's the little guy thinking about now?
Thinking about how the little one got angry and caused thunder, Xie Yan felt a sense of anticipation. He wanted to know if the thunder was really because of her.
Or is it just a coincidence?
They soon arrived at the village chief's house.
The village chief's house has three mud-brick houses and a large courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate is a wide open space used by the villagers to dry their grain.
Zhou Youfu sat on the open ground crying. When he saw them coming from afar, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the village chief.
"Village chief... Village chief, they're here."
The village chief was scared too. He had witnessed Liu being struck by lightning and killed with his own eyes. He wanted to hide too!
Seeing the two men's cowardly appearance, Qin snorted coldly, "Village Chief, I heard from Rongrong that you asked me to come and take the Second Brother away?"
The village chief wiped his sweat and stammered, "Yes, yes, he... he kept crying at our doorstep. We have children at home, it's really bothering us."
As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Zhou Youfu out.
Zhou Youfu fell to the ground and looked up at the sky like a turtle in fright. Only when he saw the bright sun and clear sky did he breathe a sigh of relief and stand up.
“I’m not leaving. My wife was struck by lightning and died. It’s all that stupid girl’s fault. Village chief, you have to do justice for me. My son has no mother now.”
He pretended to cry again.
"Bullshit! You're the one who's cursed! Why don't you say your wife was cursed to death by you?" Qin said angrily.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." The village chief coughed twice and looked at Zhou Youfu. "So, what do you want?"
“They have to compensate me. My wife died because of that idiot. They have to compensate me for my losses.”
The village chief then looked at Qin Shi and the old lady, "Is your family willing to compensate him?"
Before they could speak, he said earnestly, "To put it bluntly, although Liu's actions were unethical, since someone died in your house, you have to bear some responsibility."
Qin sneered, "Heaven punishes the wicked, so how come in the village chief's mouth it's our fault?"
"No matter what, the person died in your house, didn't they?" The village chief pressed on with this point.
"Qin family, we're all one family, so let's not make things too ugly. Youfu has lost his wife and his son has lost his mother; he's really pitiful."
Is he pitiful?
When her Sisi was falsely accused of having smallpox by Liu and her gang, and they wanted to burn Sisi to death, who pitied her Sisi?
Tears welled up in Qin's eyes, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I won't pay, I'd rather die than pay!"
The village chief looked troubled and then turned to the old lady, "Grandma Zhou, what do you think?"
The old lady smiled coldly, "Not only will we not compensate you, we'll also split the family property with Zhou Lao Er!"
"What?!" Zhou Youfu bristled. "Mom, are you getting senile?"
He used to take everything from the Zhou family. Now that the family is splitting up, won't even a single piece of bread have to be broken in half and given away?
"No, I disagree!"
The old lady, hands on her hips, sneered, "While I'm still alive, you little brat have no say in this! This family must be divided!"
Now that we've separated, let's see if he still dares to covet things from this place.
"Mom, you're being unfair! You only lie to the eldest son!"
The old lady strode forward, grabbed his ear, and said sternly, "You little brat, you think I favor the eldest? You've taken everything from the Zhou family, but the eldest doesn't have even a tiny bit. You think I'm favoring the eldest and you can trade with him?"
