Zhen Wanwan was also shocked by Zhang Ergou's mother's outrageous demands.
Which eye of hers saw that the Zhen family had so much money in total?
The Zhen family would rather spend a copper coin as if it were worth two, yet she dared to ask for two hundred thousand taels!
It's so outrageous that anyone would find it absurd.
Old Mrs. Li screamed in fright, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to devour Zhang Ergou's mother.
"Your face has so many layers of skin, how can it be so thick! I think it's even thicker than those women in Chunyan Lane who wander the streets and seduce men everywhere."
Zhen Wanwan was worried that Old Lady Li would faint from anger, so she gripped the stun gun tightly.
"There's no way we'll give you the money. Not only do we not have it, but even if we did, we wouldn't give it to you."
I thought they were here to cause trouble, but it turns out they were here to extort money. Zhenwan has handled countless cases like this in her life.
Zhang Ergou sneered, a deep groove appearing on his already thin face.
"If I can't produce it, then all these years of my life as Er Gouzi haven't been for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan recalled what Zhang Ergou had done: introducing business to casinos.
They specifically prey on poor families, causing them to sell their children and their families to be destroyed.
Relying on his connection with the brother-in-law of the head of the town's gambling den, he engaged in petty theft and other disreputable activities in the village.
Because Wang Er, a fellow villager, had his hand chopped off by a gambling den, the people of Lijia Village dared not easily provoke him.
Previously, Zhen Wanwan's aunt had married into the county and had a connection with them, so Zhang Ergou's mother didn't dare to come and provoke her family like this!
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that her aunt, Zhen Wenxiu, went to the south with her husband's family.
Feeling that the Zhen family had lost their support, they deliberately came to cause trouble and try to get some benefits.
These people are extremely greedy; once they start, they'll start again. If we really get the upper hand this time, we'll definitely face endless trouble in the future.
"Hmph, you're just a lackey, do you really think you're someone important?"
Zhen Wanwan planned to knock Zhang Ergou unconscious with an electric shock if he tried to make a move, since the family consisted mainly of elderly and infirm people.
It was almost noon, and Zhen's family should be back by now.
The priority now is to stall until Zhen's family returns, to prevent Zhang Ergou from really taking drastic measures.
Zhang Ergou couldn't stand being called a lackey because he had been humiliated by wealthy and powerful people, and he had always held a grudge about it.
It was obvious that Zhen Wanwan was rubbing salt into his wounds.
He was determined to teach Zhen Wanwan a lesson she would never forget and to teach this ugly woman a lesson.
"Heh, Zhen Wanwan dares to mess with me, Er Gou. Then let me show you how powerful your master, Er Gou, is."
Zhang Ergou picked up a thick stick and, with a vicious look in his eyes, began to strike Zhen Wanwan.
Grandma Li was so frightened that she fainted. Luckily, Wang Juhua caught her in time. Otherwise, the mud on the ground was so dry and hard that she might have fallen and gotten seriously injured.
Zhen Wanwan pulled Zhen Xiaohu behind her, preparing to let Zhang Ergou experience the taste of the stun gun.
Just one meter away from hitting Zhen Wanwan, she pushed Zhen Xiaohu away and then ran towards the main room, carrying her big belly.
Before he could take two steps, Zhang Ergou grabbed him by the back of the collar.
Now!
Zhen Wanwan turned around and aimed the stun gun at Zhang Ergou's groin, thinking, "Let him be childless!"
Before Zhang Ergou's smug smile could fade, he instantly felt a sharp pain in his groin.
A painful scream instantly pierced the sky.
"Ah! My God, it hurts so much! Help me..."
Zhang Ergou grabbed his groin with both hands, then collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones, his body convulsing.
"Hey, Er Gouzi, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!"
Tears streamed down Zhang Ergou's mother's face. Although Zhang Ergou was the middle son, he was the one whose personality was most like hers and whom she loved the most.
Seeing Zhang Ergou lying on the ground, convulsing, was truly terrifying for her.
"Heavens above! My son and I have been living peacefully, why do we have to put up with this Zhen family's mistreatment? If anything happens to my son, how can I go on living?"
Zhang Ergou's mother cried and berated Zhen Wanwan. She originally wanted to rush over and settle scores with Zhen Wanwan, but she gave up after seeing the person outside the door.
Suddenly, the village chief of Lijia Village, who was also the head of the Li clan and the most powerful person in the village, appeared in the crowd.
According to the original owner's memories, the clan chief's status was even higher than that of the county magistrate in the eyes of the clan members.
They were in charge of handling clan affairs and communicating with government officials; ordinary people would avoid seeing officials if possible.
Speaking of which, this clan chief was quite famous when he was young. It is said that he went out to fight in wars when he was young and made meritorious contributions. He should have been given an official position, but he refused, just to stay at home and take good care of his parents.
"Village chief, my Er Gouzi was harmed by Zhen Wanwan! Waaaaah... Er Gouzi... if anything happens to you, how are your father and I supposed to live?"
Clan Chief Li looked to be around fifty years old, nine years older than Grandpa Zhen, but a generation older, so Zhen had to call him Grandpa Li.
"Zhang Wangshi, carry Zhang Ergou home first, then go to town to fetch a doctor to take a good look at him."
Chief Li frowned slightly, glanced at Zhen Wanwan with a deep look in his eyes, and then turned to Zhang Ergou's mother and said.
How could Zhang Wangshi possibly let Zhen Wanwan off the hook? She glared at Zhen Wanwan through gritted teeth.
"Village chief, my Er Gou was harmed by that wicked woman Zhen Wanwan!"
After filing her complaint, Zhang Wangshi started throwing a tantrum, hurling vulgarities and making it clear she wanted Zhen Wanwan to be buried with her.
Clan Chief Li looked at Zhen Wanwan again, as if trying to see through her. Zhen Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that he knew she had been resurrected in another body?
After all, her behavior just now was so different from the original owner's.
When Old Lady Li heard Zhang Wangshi constantly cursing Zhen Wanwan, she was so angry that she jumped up and down. Her face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Zhang Wangshi's nose.
"Bullshit! How dare you say that? How could Zhang Ergou, a strong, grown man, be bullied by my Wanwan!"
"Everyone here, please be my judge. Zhang Ergou suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground, but no one touched him."
The onlookers nearby also confirmed that Zhang Ergou had his back to them, so they could only see his back and couldn't see what Zhen Wanwan was doing.
She immediately put the stun gun back into her spatial storage after Zhang Ergou screamed. Coupled with her current refugee-like appearance, anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her.
Others would only believe that she was innocent, which put Zhen Wanwan at ease, and she dared to look directly at Chief Li.
“I didn’t do this to Er Gou. He almost hit me with this thick stick just now, but I didn’t expect him to suddenly collapse and keep convulsing.”
Zhen Wanwan took the wooden stick from Zhen Xiaohu and explained to Chief Li with an innocent yet somewhat aggrieved look in her eyes.
After looking around and gaining the approval of the others, Chief Li gave Zhen Wanwan a sharp look.
snort!
He snorted coldly and turned to speak to Old Lady Li.
"Why did Zhang Ergou suddenly come to your house and fall ill for no reason?"
A busybody nearby chimed in, seemingly eager for more drama: "It's Er Gou's mother who's come to demand justice from Zhen Wanwan."
"Yes, yes, Er Gou's mother said that because Zhen Wanwan's reputation is too bad, the girl Er Gou has his eye on doesn't want to marry into our village anymore."
