"Hurry up and stop them!"
The third brother blurted out and ran off.
The second brother followed, and Xiao Kai didn't react in time. "Wouldn't it be better if they fought?"
"Those people deserve to be taught a lesson!"
The second brother ran while looking back, shouting, "You want to exhaust my sister to death? If she gets injured, you'll have to carry them all over, and she won't get any sleep!"
A-Yuan realized what was happening and quickly instructed the guards to send some of them up the mountain to help.
The commotion caused by the Ruan family was heard by the Song and Fan families. The Fan brothers, Fan Zizhong and Fan Shiwen, were fine with it, as they were skilled in martial arts. However, Song Shiwen and his younger brother, worried that their second and third sons might get hurt, also rushed over.
-
Half an hour later.
A mournful sound filled the air in front of the Ruan family's courtyard.
They were all injured villagers, or more accurately, newly registered villagers.
They were shouting at the village chief's house, their voices so loud they seemed to be able to lift the roof off. Suddenly, the villagers rushed in and told them to pull them out.
In the midst of pushing and shoving, they started fighting.
The village chief tried to dissuade them, and the villagers agreed. At this moment, the guards, who were hiding in the shadows, mingled with the villagers, took advantage of the chaos, and added fuel to the fire. Taking advantage of the newlyweds' unpreparedness, they beat them several times.
The conflict gradually escalated. Anyway, since the people were outside the village chief's house, they wouldn't hurt the village chief's family. The villagers outnumbered them and wouldn't suffer any losses. The guards just stood by and watched, letting the villagers beat them up to their heart's content!
The villagers were overjoyed!
They were just exploiting loopholes and shamelessly joining the village; it's not like everyone begged them to come.
They were so arrogant, as if the village chief owed them something.
That's exactly who we're going to beat up!
Among these people, besides those who were registered without actual household registration, some were poor relatives of urban merchants and wealthy households who were brought in by the village chief.
Their very identities speak volumes about their abilities.
If they were even slightly useful, with the relatives who found them connections, why would they be in such a bad situation, coming to Fengjia Village looking for business?
They would have been doing very well by now!
These people were initially stubborn and defiant, but after being punched repeatedly and cursed to no avail, they finally became obedient and began to beg for mercy.
The second and third brothers had just arrived when Song Shiwen rushed forward and pulled them aside before they could rush in.
The families stood to one side, not showing themselves.
Seeing them, the villagers felt even more emboldened and rebuked them:
"Not satisfied? Look at what you've done since you arrived! Who would trust or be happy to entrust their seedlings and cubs to you?!"
“If I hand it over to you, you’ll just slack off and try to cheat. You don’t want to do any work, you just want to wait for your share of the money, right? Sorry, Fengjia Village doesn’t support idlers, there’s no such thing as a free lunch!”
"That's right! We men are still working in the mines and on the ships, our lives hanging in the balance. You're acting like tyrants in the village, what gives you the right? Just because you're so powerful!"
"The village chief's opinion is our opinion! Our opinion is the village chief's opinion! If you disagree in the future, come to us! What kind of people are we to bully the village chief's family!"
......
The second and third brothers then realized more clearly that their eldest brother had no intention of asking several families for help in the first place.
The problems of Fengjia Village must be resolved by Fengjia Village itself.
The Ruan family is part of Fengjia Village, but they can't worry about everything, and the villagers can't take it for granted just because they're used to it.
The villagers arrived late, perhaps because they thought the Ruan family would intervene?
When they organized the villagers, they must have realized what was happening.
The injured newly registered villagers sat at the entrance of Ruan Family Medical Clinic, waiting for treatment.
The second and third sons, along with the Song and Fan brothers, had already rushed down the mountain. Impatiently, they shouted at the wailing crowd:
"Stop yelling! There's a sick person in the house!"
These people have fallen silent.
Du Xiaocan helped grind the herbs and was about to apply them to the injured person when Ruan Meng stopped him.
"A-Yuan, Xiao-Kai, please help me."
The villagers in front of them shifted their gaze from Du Xiaocan's face to A Yuan and Xiao Kai, and began to chatter:
"What! They're just giving us the runaround! They have a female healer, but they insist on having a complete stranger treat us!"
Before Ruan Meng could speak, the third brother took the ointment from Du Xiaocan's hand and slapped the man's wound on the face, making the man wince in pain.
"I'll treat you myself, young master. Doesn't that make you look good?"
"What? You're not happy about it? Then I'll call the guards?"
"No, no! No need!"
