Widow Huang let out a wail, her eyes filled with disbelief: "You... Li Ergou, you dare to hit me, you're asking for death!"
Li Ergou kicked Widow Huang: "You filthy widow, how dare you insult my lady? I'll beat you to death!"
Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui watched the commotion from the sidelines. This widow didn't look like a good person at all, and they absolutely couldn't let her live, otherwise her foul mouth would bring who knows how much trouble to the village.
Besides, didn't Widow Huang sign a contract of servitude?
The people who came with them initially tried to use moral blackmail, but seeing the two village chiefs remain silent, they immediately lost their confidence.
Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui waited for a while, then, fearing things would escalate, they exchanged a glance and both stopped the situation.
"Li Ergou, do you want to cause trouble for Madam Mo?" Li Changgeng asked with a serious expression.
Li Ergou stopped what he was doing, looking puzzled. "Huh? Village Chief, I didn't. I'm following the Village Chief's instructions."
Li Changgeng nodded, and Li Ergou stood beside him, glaring fiercely at Widow Huang, his expression full of threat: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Widow Huang lowered her eyes, her face contorted with rage. "Very well, Madam Mo, I will remember this debt."
Li Changgeng said sternly, "Gentlemen, the village is under construction and just starting out. We have already registered with the government. If you stay here now, you will be unregistered..."
This was still an excuse taught to him by Mo Qingcheng, a way to get rid of him temporarily and have some peace and quiet.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances: "Village Chief Sun, is what Village Chief Li said true?"
"Of course, the clan chief said the same thing. It was arranged personally by the imperial inspector. If you want to stay, it's not impossible. However, officials come to our village every few days. If they arrest you and throw you into the mines..." then you'll never come back.
"Oh my god, how are we supposed to live like this?"
"Village chief, you have to save us..."
"Village chief, we're not leaving, we're not leaving no matter what."
"Yes, we're not leaving."
Some people had ulterior motives. "That bastard Li Changgeng is definitely trying to fool them. Humph, we won't fall for it."
The sound of crying gradually filled the air. Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui were at a loss and could not control the situation. Just as these people were about to storm into Li Changgeng's house, a melodious voice came on the wind.
"If you want to stay, you'll have to sell yourself into slavery..." Mo Qingcheng was in high spirits. Just now, Li Ergou had sneaked away and told Mo Qingcheng about the situation outside.
Mo Qingcheng nodded and walked over with a smile, leading Bai Yueniang and Liu Cuihua.
"Lady Mo, what nonsense are you spouting? Sell yourself to me as a slave? Dream on!" Widow Huang flew into a rage the moment she saw Mo Qingcheng.
Liu Cuihua scoffed, "Widow Huang, don't you even take a piss and look at your own stupidity? You want to be a slave to the Mo family girl? You're not worthy! Bah!"
Widow Huang trembled with rage: "Liu Cuihua, you traitor! Don't think that just because you've hooked up with a vixen, you can do whatever you want!"
"Reckless behavior? I'm willing. Come, come, folks, if you really want to stay, sign a contract of servitude to the Mo family girl. At least you'll have a full meal. The Mo family girl won't treat you badly."
"Think it over carefully, Sister Mo. Don't be indecisive. If you want to sign a contract of servitude, it will be for at least ten years!" Bai Yueniang said with a wicked smile.
Everyone: "..."
"Bai Yueniang, what are you?"
"What's it to you? If you're working in my house, you have to be pleasing to my eye, is that not allowed?" Bai Yueniang rolled her eyes: "Sister Mo doesn't concern herself with these trivial matters, I'm the one in charge."
Everyone: "..."
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
"Madam Mo, my child is still young, can we sign the indenture together?"
