Chapter 199: One Life for Another
"Zhanchuan threw the man to the village entrance. Someone recognized the thief and quickly called his family."
"Who knew that this man's sister was just taken away by the leader of the Black River bandits some time ago, and now she is his new favorite."
"That man's family saw that Zhan Chuan was tall and strong and was not easy to mess with, but they knew that Zhan Chuan was from our family, so his women did not go to the village entrance, but came directly to our door to make trouble."
"I heard that the father of the man who fell half to death has gone to the Black River bandit camp to ask for help, saying that he wants us to exchange our lives for each other's!"
Zhou Yunshu frowned slightly, but Ji Mingzhu beside her didn't care. She even had the leisure to put the flowers Zhou Yunshu gave her under her nose and smelled them gently.
Although it is a wild flower, it tastes good.
"Why, that man died?"
Wasn't Zhan Chuan still breathing when he was carried away? He died so soon.
"Not dead, but if I continue like this I'll be dead soon."
After hearing that the family was coming to cause trouble, Zhan Chuan directly picked up the person he had thrown on the ground and walked over here. When Wu Gui came to the backyard, he was already stepping on the man who was breathing more than breathing in, and confronting the woman in the man's family.
Zhou Yunshu nodded after Wu Gui finished speaking, then turned to Ji Mingzhu and said, "Grandma, let's go take a look."
Ji Mingzhu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
When Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui passed by the front yard, Zhou Yunjia had just helped Kang Jingyu move his luggage to the west wing of the front yard.
Zhou Yunjia looked at Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui walking towards the door and muttered something. Kang Jingyu immediately put down what he was holding and dragged Zhou Yunjia towards the door.
"Let's go and help too!"
As Kang Jingyu ran towards the door holding Zhou Yunjia's arm, the quarrel outside became more intense.
"Damn these outsiders! How long have they been here in Dongwang Village? And they're already beating and killing people on our land? Won't they become the kings tomorrow?"
"Fellow villagers, you all watched our Xingtian grow up, and yet he hasn't even found a wife yet, and he was beaten like this by this outsider! Is there any justice in the world?! Are they treating the people of Dongwang Village like animals to be beaten and killed at will?"
The woman was very good at instigating. She kept talking about the people from Dongwang Village and tried to stir up hostility towards the Zhou family from all the people from the surrounding Dongwang Village.
“Who is this unreasonable person?”
Aunt Liao was helping at the door. She started arguing with the woman without knowing the whole story. When she found out that the half-dead man on the ground was seriously injured because he stepped on a trap on the owner's mountain when he was stealing ginseng, she wanted to kick him again.
"That bastard from your family came to our mountain to pull out our ginseng, and fell into a trap. He's lucky to be alive, and we'll still say the same thing even if you report him to the police!"
Aunt Liao pointed at the long-faced woman across from her and cursed loudly, "I've never seen such a shameless person. You think you're justified in stealing other people's things! I think even the shit in the toilet has better manners than you!"
The woman put her hands on her waist and cursed at Aunt Liao: "You said stealing, so I stole it!"
"This Xiaoqingshan originally belonged to our Dongwang Village. This ginseng was planted on Xiaoqingshan by our family. What's wrong with us pulling it out ourselves if we planted it ourselves?"
The woman pointed at Aunt Liao's nose and cursed, "It's you outsiders who took advantage of us, and you're blaming us!"
"I'm telling you, we're not just going to pick the ginseng today, we're going to go up the mountain to pick ginseng tomorrow as well. We won't let you shameless outsiders take advantage of us no matter what!"
"Bah, I think you're the ones who are shameless. This ginseng is obviously planted this year. This mountain was our home at the end of last year..."
While Aunt Liao and the woman were arguing with each other, Zhou Yunshu glanced at Zhou Yunzhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair by the wall, groping back and forth with a short blade in his hand.
She winked at Liao Quan, who was standing beside her, and asked him to push Zhou Yunzhi into the yard.
Seeing Liao Quan's actions, Zhou Yunzhi looked at his sister.
Seeing Zhou Yunshu giving him a soothing smile, he put away the short blade in his hand and the hidden weapon in his sleeve, and let Liao Quan push him into the yard.
If a fight really breaks out later, although Sixteen can take care of himself, Zhou Yunshu will lose a thug, so he should not cause trouble outside.
After Zhou Yunzhi went in, Zhou Yunshu listened to the quarrels and discussions around her and looked at the person at Zhan Chuan's feet.
This man is really pitiful. His father went to ask for help, but his mother just kept arguing with Aunt Liao. Now the argument has reached the point where they will ask the Zhou family to get out if they don't compensate them with two hundred taels of silver.
In fact, after all she said, she just wanted money.
If you really care about your son, seeing how half-dead he looks now, shouldn't your first reaction be to find a doctor to treat his injuries?
But now she gives people the feeling that she is waiting for her son to die so that she can extort a large sum of money from the Zhou family.
"Is he dead?"
Zhan Chuan took his foot off the man and kicked him. Seeing that he was still moving, he said to Zhou Yunshu, "Stay alive."
"Grandpa Xue, please take a look at him."
Zhou Yunshu did this not because she was a good person, but because she saw that the people of Dongwang Village had become more critical and hostile in their eyes under the instigation of that woman.
They had just moved to Dongwang Village and didn't want to go against the villagers over a life.
Liao Lin moved two chairs to the door, and Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui sat down. The woman finally realized who was the head of the Zhou family, and immediately turned her attention from Aunt Liao to Zhou Yunshu.
"You are the master of this old hag, right? What? You are relying on your family's little money to come to our village and call the shots? I tell you, you are dreaming!"
"If your family doesn't pay me two hundred taels of silver today, I will not only report you to the authorities, but I will also have someone tear your house down and show you who's really in charge of Dongwang Village!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the arrogant woman opposite and smiled without saying anything, but some people were dissatisfied with the woman's arrogance.
"Zhao Laosan's wife! Who do you want to be the head of the family?" Wang Shuitian rushed over panting, just in time to hear Zhao Laosan's wife saying harsh words to Zhou Yunshu.
This morning, he brought his two grandsons and two granddaughters to Zhou's house to register, and then asked his son to drive to his son-in-law's house in Xiwang Village.
The two sons of his son-in-law have not started school yet, so he wanted to let his two grandsons come to Zhou's house to study, so that they can keep the four children in the family company.
But who knew that when he had just finished lunch at his son-in-law's house and returned to the village with his two grandsons, he heard that Shi Tou from Zhao Laosan's family had secretly gone to Xiaoqingshan to steal things, but stepped on a trap and fell half to death. Zhao Laosan had already gone to the village on the edge of the Heihe River to move people!
When Wang Shuitian learned that Zhao Laosan, a traitor, had actively lured the pirates into his village, he wanted to pick up a hoe and beat him to death.
