Chapter 187: Just a joke among peers
His gaze was deep and unfathomable. He gently swept over Wei's wife's face, which was swollen and purple from the severe injuries she had suffered. His tone revealed a complex hint: "Even if the Wei family has made some mistakes, you should also consider that the Tu Su family has just arrived and the village has been generous in accommodating them. You should be more tolerant. How could you openly cause such a scene?"
"Village Chief, what do you think?"
The village chief was completely confused by the chaos before him.
However, after hearing his grandfather's implicit and reproachful words, his old face instantly became as rosy as the sunset.
The Tu Su family has always been outsiders and may not be familiar with the customs and habits of the village, but the village chief knows everything about the Wei family!
Originally, the village chief and several elders were invited by the grandfather to come out and check the growth of the seedlings in the greenhouse. However, as soon as they arrived here, they heard a noise coming from behind the Wei family's door.
Upon hearing the grandfather's words of taking the initiative to take responsibility, several people couldn't help but reveal an indescribable embarrassment on their faces.
The village chief's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily, "What are you guys arguing about? Why did you end up in such a mess?!"
Frightened by Gu Yuexuan's domineering aura, Mrs. Wei was still in shock and screamed in frustration: "What does this have to do with us? It was this stinky girl who broke into my house without permission and started beating people up!"
"Look at my two grandsons, they've been bullied by her!!"
"And me!"
"Look at my face, it's been ruined by her! As soon as this little bitch walked in..."
Crack!
A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and Tu Subo seemed to casually withdraw his hand that was resting on the half brick wall. The wall under his feet collapsed instantly, and broken bricks and stones were all over the ground.
Amidst the instantly frozen anger and exclamations of the Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he gave a gentle smile, his eyes flashing with sincere apology: "I'm sorry, I couldn't contain my anger when I heard someone insulting my wife."
"Don't panic, I'm hitting a brick wall, not a person."
However, in just a moment, it is difficult to predict whether it will develop into a fight, which would be quite bad.
Wei Tianwen, who was about to lash out at someone, was so frightened that his lips trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
The Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were originally aggressive, were instantly speechless under Gu Yuexuan's calm gaze, like a giant goose bound by a spell.
Tu Suting rushed forward in a hurry.
He breathed heavily and said angrily, "The young people of the Wei family started the quarrel and bullied the weak. Min Yang and Yan Ting and the others had a conflict for some reason, and the elders of the Wei family rushed out and attacked the children!"
"Children's little fights are harmless, but how can adults get involved and take their anger out on children? They beat the children and then dared to come to our house and cause trouble, forcing us to pay for medical expenses!"
This was the first time in Tu Suting's life that he encountered such a vulgar woman. His hands trembled as he pointed at Mrs. Wei. He said indignantly, "What a mouthful of a lion!"
"It was clearly their family that started the fight first and was in the wrong, yet they still shamelessly demand ten taels of silver from us!
If I don't agree, I'll come to our doorstep and try to commit suicide! Isn't this a blatant threat? They're really going too far!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person in my life!"
"Absurd! Hilarious!"
“It’s unbelievable!”
Seeing Tu Suting so angry that he could hardly speak, Tu Subo smacked his lips and said calmly, "Third Uncle, you are really something. Did you really believe him when he said he wanted to commit suicide?"
As he spoke, he picked up a rope of unknown purpose from the scattered rocks on the ground and tied a knot in his hand casually, with a warm smile in his eyes.
"Wouldn't it be easy to end one's life with a rope?"
"Why should I rush to my humble abode to search for that strong beam and add to my troubles?"
"If anyone is desperate and eager to embark on the road to the underworld, just ask, and I will immediately provide you with convenience."
After he finished speaking, there was silence all around. Tu Subo stared with confused eyes, looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Where did everyone go?"
"Bo'er."
The old grandfather called out helplessly, and Tu Subo immediately put down the rope full of murderous intent in his hand and took a half step back.
The old grandfather slowly said: "Yuexuan, come here too."
Gu Yuexuan glanced at the panicked Mrs. Wei with complicated eyes, and then stepped back as she was told.
She and Tu Subo stood side by side behind the old grandfather. The young couple stood side by side, revealing an air of submissiveness and docility from the corners of their eyes and eyebrows to every strand of their hair. This scene caught the eyes of the village chief and others, and immediately made them feel even more embarrassed.
The Tu Su family moved into the village not long ago, but their interactions with the villagers were not fictitious, and the kindness and enthusiasm of the Tu Su family towards the villagers were also well known.
In other words, this is not a family that likes to stir up trouble. If the Wei family had not forced them into anything, how could they have lost their patience and come to the door to seek an explanation?
However, the old grandfather seemed to think the situation wasn't exciting enough. He looked Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan up and down and said, "We should be careful about how we deal with problems. No matter what, you shouldn't break into someone else's home and start a fight. Otherwise, how are you any different from those unscrupulous villains?"
Gu Yuexuan lowered her head in thought, muttering with a hint of resignation, "But Grandfather, Sister Wei beat our Yan Ting so hard that she was swollen, and the children were scared out of their wits. If..."
"Even so, we must not act rashly."
The grandfather explained calmly, "We are a family that values morality. We would never do such a vile thing as bullying the weak."
"My grandfather is above me, and according to our seniority, we absolutely cannot bully the weak in today's matter."
Tu Subo interrupted in a leisurely tone, "Those two young men of the Wei family are certainly my juniors, but I am only acting as your grandchildren in front of you."
"Since we are all grandchildren, the competition between us is just a playful game between peers, it's not a big deal."
His argument is obviously far-fetched.
However, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be a hint of truth in this far-fetched argument!
Not to mention age, just in terms of seniority, he and Gu Yuexuan are indeed the youngest in the field.
Although they always follow everyone else's way of calling each other by that name in the village, almost no one remembers that they are actually grandchildren.
Tu Subo glanced at the two stunned young men from the Wei family and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you and I are from the same lineage. If you ever want to compete with me, you don't need to look for others. I will come to you and learn from you."
"I want to have fun with you."
The two brothers of the Wei family had already been frightened out of their wits. When they heard Tu Subo's words that sounded like a declaration of war, they immediately opened their mouths in fear and burst into tears, their voices shaking the whole area.
"No more fighting!"
"We will never bully Tu Su Minxu again!"
"We really won't do it again!"
The collapsed crying sounded like thunder, and the right and wrong were obvious. The village chief's weather-beaten face was extremely embarrassed.
