Chapter 25 Make Them Bleed
After hearing this, Zhang Defu flew into a rage and pointed at Zhang Laosan and yelled, "Bullshit! It was obviously you who proposed this!"
However, Zhang Laosan and his wife insisted that they were innocent and pushed all the faults onto Zhang Defu and his wife.
"I never said such a thing. It was you two who insisted on teaching my second sister-in-law's family a lesson and made up lies to scare people."
Zhao Chunhua silently watched this group of people who were blaming each other.
In the end, it was Zhang Ruoan and several elders who stepped forward and pulled the people who were fighting apart.
Zhang Ruoan had a gloomy face as he stared at Zhang Defu's family.
"Zhang Defu." Zhang Defu's heart trembled.
Then, Zhang Ruoan said, "Zhao is right. Your actions today are disheartening. You should find another way out."
After saying that, he turned around and ignored the two people's tearful pleas.
Seeing Zhang Ruoan's cold look, Bai Xiaowei and Zhang Defu became so anxious that they lost their minds and no longer cared about their face. They hugged his thighs and cried.
"Village chief, please don't chase us away. We know we were wrong. Please give us a chance."
It's unsafe everywhere now and they can't find a place to stay.
If they encounter bandits after leaving the team, their lives may be in danger. In order to survive, they must stay here.
Zhang Laosan and Zhu Fangfang also looked pale, fearing that they would be expelled, and hurriedly followed suit to apologize.
"We won't make mistakes again!"
No one spoke for them at the scene. This incident was neither big nor small.
if
If they hadn't made it up, the village chief wouldn't have sent people up the mountain to look for him.
The villagers have all caught a cold recently, and some people's illnesses have become more serious.
What's worse, Zhang Tian was seriously injured.
These people are causing more trouble in this chaotic situation, so naturally everyone is displeased with them.
Zhang Ruoan kept a tense face, showing no sign of relaxing.
Zhang Defu couldn't help but look at the people he had a good relationship with, hoping to get help.
However, the other party looked away as soon as he saw his gaze, obviously not wanting to speak for him.
Zhang Defu felt a chill in his heart and clenched his fists. Bai Xiaowei, who was standing beside him, was crying bitterly, with despair in her eyes.
It seems that the village chief is really determined to drive them away!
Zhang Er happily came back with the bird eggs and was planning to ask Bai Xiaowei to cook them for him, but who would have thought that he would see the scene in front of him.
Looking at Zhang Defu and Bai Xiaowei lying on the ground, he felt extremely ashamed.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing? This is so embarrassing! Get up!"
Veins bulged on Zhang Defu's forehead, and he really wanted to slap this ignorant kid twice.
Bai Xiaowei was afraid that Zhang Erxi would say something that would add fuel to the fire, so she quickly grabbed his arm and covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.
Zhang Erxi looked at Bai Xiaowei in confusion.
Just as he was about to struggle, he was met with Zhang Defu's warning eyes and immediately stopped moving.
Although he usually acts rashly, at least he knows what's good for him and can read people's expressions.
"Village chief, we really have nowhere to go. Please be merciful and let us stay. As long as we can stay, we will do anything! If you say east, we will go east. We will never dare to go the other way."
As Zhang Defu spoke, he pushed his son down to his knees and whispered orders.
"Erxi, you should also quickly beg for mercy from the village chief."
Zhang Erxi stiffened his neck and said nothing. He didn't want to beg anyone. "I won't!"
Zhang Defu was almost driven crazy by his stubbornness.
Everyone knew that Zhang Ruoan was soft-hearted. As long as Zhang Erxi acted a little pitiful, the village chief might not drive them out.
But in front of Zhang Ruoan, Zhang Defu didn't dare to say it directly and could only wink at him desperately.
"I've given you a chance before." Zhang Ruoan's brows twitched slightly and he said with a bad look on his face.
"You spoke nonsense and almost caused Tian Bao to lose his life. I really can't forgive you on behalf of the Zhao family."
Upon hearing this, several people's faces immediately turned pale.
Zhu Fangfang reacted the fastest and immediately grabbed the hand of Zhao Chunhua next to her.
"Second sister-in-law, we know we were wrong. Can you please give us another chance? After all, we are a family. We really didn't intend to harm Tian Bao."
"Now that I am sick and injured and need care, I know how to take good care of people."
In order not to be driven away, Zhu Fangfang tried her best. Zhang Laosan also nodded in agreement.
Seeing them like this, the eldest and his wife finally understood. Compared to being driven away, it seemed better to ask Zhao Chunhua for help.
So he gritted his teeth and endured the pain and walked towards Zhao Chunhua.
"Sister-in-law, the third brother is right. We are still a family. Just give us another chance. As long as you don't let the village chief chase us away, we are willing to do anything!"
Zhao Chunhua looked at them quietly without saying anything. She waited until they had said all the good things they could say before she spoke: "My Tianbao is seriously injured. He has to stay in bed to recuperate."
"I'm best at strength, so I can be responsible for pushing the cart." Zhang Defu understood her implication and responded immediately.
"As for the luggage at home..."
"Leave this matter to me. I'll help you get it." Zhang Laosan quickly responded.
In order to keep their family here, they responded to whatever Zhao Chunhua said.
"My Tian Bao was seriously injured and needs to be well nourished." Zhao Chunhua glanced at everyone and continued.
The two families were a little embarrassed to hear this request. After all, neither family had much surplus food left.
And from the way she spoke, you could tell that just fooling around wouldn't work.
No one from the third brother's side said anything, but the eldest brother couldn't pretend he didn't hear anything.
They had had several unpleasant experiences with Zhao Chunhua before, and this time they even angered the village chief.
It now seems that there is no other way out.
"There's still some bacon left at home. I'll go get it later to feed Tian Bao." Zhang Defu agreed with a distressed look on his face.
"Meat? Do we really have meat at home?" Zhang Erxi's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the word "meat".
"Even if there is, it won't be for you!" Zhang Defu replied, kicking him impatiently.
That piece of precious bacon was a delicacy that he had hidden away secretly and was reluctant to eat, but this time he was going to give it to someone else.
It was like cutting off a piece of his heart. Zhao Chunhua sighed softly. As she expected, the other party had a treasure in his hand.
This time they must bleed.
Zhao Chunhua was slow to speak, and Zhang Defu mistakenly thought that she was not satisfied enough, so he gritted his teeth and reluctantly added two kilograms of fine grains and five kilograms of coarse grains.
"That's all my family has."
Then Zhao Chunhua looked at the third family who had remained silent.
Under her gaze, the two could only say helplessly: "There is indeed no fine grain, only a few kilograms of coarse grain. If you don't mind, I will send it to your house later."
"I won't mind." Zhao Chunhua showed a smile, "In this day and age, who would complain about having too much food?"
"Then let's..."
