Chapter 31 Stay
Zhang Ruoan also nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's it."
After saying that, he took the young and strong people in the village and picked up tools to drive the two families out.
Seeing this, the second and third wives no longer cared about their reputation and fell to their knees.
"Village chief, life is hard now, and the road ahead is unknown and dangerous. If you drive us away, aren't you trying to kill us?" Bai Xiaowei said.
Zhang Ruoan looked at them, his expression not changing at all.
He shouted, "You almost killed the villagers, and you still want to stay here and continue to do evil? Pack up your things and leave!"
Zhang Youcai followed suit and said, "Yes, fortunately Aunt Zhao helped save people this time, otherwise I would really have to teach you a lesson."
Zhang Defu shamelessly said, "We imitated it in order to treat the villagers. At most, we failed. Besides, no one is in trouble now, right?"
Seeing how shameless he was, Zhang Ruo'an got angry and pointed at him and cursed: "If you were really kind, why would you use poisonous weeds to hurt our villagers! I don't want to waste my words with you. If you don't leave, I'll have someone tie you up and take you out!"
Seeing the villagers holding thick sticks, the second and third wives were completely scared.
This time they really angered the whole village. The villagers who usually had a good relationship with them no longer spoke up for them and all supported them to leave.
Zhu Fangfang gritted her teeth and kowtowed to everyone, begging for mercy.
"It's our fault. Please give us a chance to live for the sake of our friendship over the years! I will take out all my stored food as compensation."
Zhang Dunzi stared at her, and Zhu Fangfang gave him a look, and he understood what she meant.
Just keep some private food. Although these foods are precious, if you are really driven out of the village, it will be even more difficult to survive in the future.
He quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, I still have a bag of black flour at home, I can compensate you."
When they heard that there would be black flour as compensation, the villagers who had previously clamored to drive them away suddenly became silent and all wanted to take some black flour back.
Seeing that the third room's solution worked, Zhang Defu also said, "I also have a bag of black flour at home, and I am willing to give it all out as compensation."
This way, there were two bags of black flour, and the villagers' eyes lit up.
On weekdays, many people do not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and have to run around looking for food. Even when they are extremely hungry, they are reluctant to use the precious black flour and can only find some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
Now that Zhang Defu and Zhang Dunzi are willing to give out two bags of black flour as compensation, it is simply a huge benefit.
Just as everyone was hesitating, Zhao Chunhua spoke up: "There are eight or nine families affected. If we share these two bags of black flour, each person can have a bowl of thin soup."
She sneered and said, "You're risking your life for this bowl of porridge. Isn't this really a losing business?"
This made the second and third wives want to strangle Zhao Chunhua to death. She was really good at talking.
After this analysis, the villagers came back to their senses.
You are right. This amount of flour is not enough to be distributed. There are at least fifty or sixty people in eight families. How can two bags be enough to feed them?
"Village chief, we don't want their black flour, so let them go! To avoid trouble in the future!"
Zhang Ruoan nodded and was about to give the order to chase them away.
At this time, Bai Xiaowei suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Let's see who dares to touch us. If something happens, can you afford it?"
Zhang Ruoan frowned and asked, "Tie Niu's wife, what do you mean?"
Bai Xiaowei puffed up her belly and said, "I'm pregnant now. If anything happens to me, can you bear the responsibility?"
Zhao Chunhua glanced at her from head to toe, wondering what kind of drama are you putting on here?
Finally, he couldn't help laughing: "Bai Xiaowei, you are already over 50 years old, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for saying such things?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around laughed.
Indeed, who has ever heard of a woman getting pregnant at the age of fifty?
Bai Xiaowei's face flushed, but she still said stubbornly, "What do you know? This is God's blessing to our family!"
She touched her belly and continued, "Anyway, I'm pregnant now. If you drive me away, you'll be harming me. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Farmers in the countryside are most afraid of these supernatural things. After Bai Xiaowei said this, everyone was really a little scared.
One person whispered, "I've heard that unborn children become very fierce ghosts!"
This reminder made everyone feel frightened.
If something really happened to Bai Xiaowei after she was kicked out, wouldn't they be in trouble?
Zhao Chunhua was speechless when she saw these ignorant looks.
She stood up and pushed Bai Xiaowei to the ground.
Bai Xiaowei screamed in pain: "Zhao Chunhua, what are you doing?"
Zhao Chunhua folded her arms across her chest and looked at her, as if she had seen through her tricks.
"Bai Xiaowei, people always say you need to have dignity, but you've lived half your life, and you don't even need dignity anymore!"
"Let's not talk about whether you have a child or not. Even if you do, what does it have to do with us? We want to drive you away because you did something bad!"
"Let me tell you, our ancestors specialized in catching ghosts! Just try to become a fierce ghost, and I'll take you in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Dajun came over and pulled the corner of her clothes, and whispered, "Mom, did our ancestors really have a Taoist priest who could catch ghosts?"
What nonsense, of course it’s false!
Zhao Chunhua pushed him away and said, "Kid, don't meddle in adult affairs. Go away."
Seeing that this trick didn't work, Bai Xiaowei turned around and begged Zhang Ruoan, "Village Chief, I'm really pregnant. Please forgive us this time for the sake of my pregnancy."
As he said this, he secretly pulled Zhang Defu's clothes.
Zhang Defu understood immediately and said, "We can promise that we will behave ourselves in the future and will never cause trouble again."
"If anyone in the village needs help in the future, we are willing to help without taking a penny."
Zhang Dunzi quickly agreed, "Me too. As long as you ask, I'll be there right away."
Zhao Chunhua raised her eyebrows. Does he want to be a free laborer?
Zhang Ruoan was undecided for a moment, and looked at Zhao Chunhua and asked, "Sister Zhao, thanks to you for detoxifying those families today, you can take charge of this matter."
Seeing that Zhang Ruoan gave the decision-making power to Zhao Chunhua, the second and third rooms were dissatisfied but there was nothing they could do. After all, whether they could stay depended on Zhao Chunhua's attitude.
So they had no choice but to swallow their pride and beg Zhao Chunhua desperately.
Seeing this, Zhao Chunhua said, "Well, since you really know your mistakes, then give half of the food to compensate the victims."
"Besides, you will become the laborers of the village from now on. You are not allowed to refuse any help you get from the villagers, and you are not allowed to cheat or act slyly until the villagers stop caring about it. If you are willing, you can stay. If not, you can leave now."
The second and third rooms looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and finally agreed.
