"Why did you grab me just now?" Li Hehua angrily shook off her husband's hand.
He shouted indignantly, "That old fox, the village chief, clearly doesn't want to get involved in this matter!"
Hmph, Zhou Jianguo may seem like the same person as everyone else when he's the village chief, but he's actually just favoring Dazhu and his family!
"Look at what happened when we divided the family property. He just let that brat Chengyuan make exorbitant demands and blackmail us."
Li Hehua was seething with anger. That little brat had taken most of the livestock she raised.
Yu Sanzhu said helplessly, "I know what you're saying. The village chief does favor the eldest son's family."
But since he has already promised us, he will definitely go to his older brother's place.
We'll just wait.
We're glad we've achieved our goal.
If you keep pressing the issue, and the village chief gets angry and stops caring about it, you'll be left helpless.
Yu Sanzhu glanced unhappily at his dark-skinned, thin wife, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
Li Hehua glared at him and said angrily, "Fine, since you say he'll go, let's go over there and keep watch!"
If I had known Ping An's leg was fake, I shouldn't have separated from the family. That was a monthly salary of 120 yuan!
From now on, it will all belong to the eldest son's family.
After saying that, his face was full of frustration and resentment.
Yu Sanzhu frowned and replied, "Why should we guard it?"
The village chief said he would go, and he will.
Let's go back now and call my second brother and sister-in-law as well.
We can't be the ones asking for money while they enjoy the benefits!
As for the wages from Ping An's coal mining, don't even think about it. It's pointless; that has nothing to do with us anymore.
We've already separated, what's the point of thinking about this?
It's better that they separated; it saves them from having to benefit from his second child in the future.
Upon hearing this, Li Hehua's eyes lit up immediately, and she said excitedly, "Sanzhu, I didn't expect you to be so smart."
We must bring my second brother and sister-in-law along; many hands make light work.
We can't all do it together!
The second wife's family won't escape responsibility for offending anyone.
Li Hehua patted Yu Sanzhu on the shoulder and praised him with a smile.
Yu Sanzhu smiled smugly and said, "That's right, we can't let ourselves suffer this loss."
Every man desires praise and flattery from his wife, and Yu Sanzhu was no exception.
Li Hehua smiled and took Yu Sanzhu's arm, continuing to praise, "My man is so thoughtful. Let's hurry back and call them."
After saying that, the two hurriedly walked back.
On the other side, at the village chief's house.
"Old Zhou, you're not really going to seek justice for Yu Sanzhu and his wife, are you?"
While eating the remaining half bowl of rice, with her mouth still stuffed full, Hao Qiumei asked her husband indistinctly.
"I have to go!"
"I'm the village chief; I can't openly favor Dazhu and his family."
Zhou Jianguo replied without looking up as he ate his rice.
"Old Zhou, we can't be ungrateful. Dazhu's family has been very good to us."
They don't hide their profits; they're all thinking of us!
Hao Qiumei frowned, then raised her voice and spoke.
"Father, Mother is right. Yu Sanzhu and his wife were never good people to begin with."
Uncle Dazhu and the others are such good people; we can't do that.
Zhou Xiaoyu, who was eating nearby, also chimed in, though a few grains of rice were still stuck to his lips.
"Of course I understand what you two are saying, but I am first and foremost the village chief."
Yu Sanzhu and his wife were talking about how Cheng Yuan and his brother had conspired to cheat them out of two hundred yuan.
If I don't go, I'm afraid it will give people something to say.
Besides, what they said makes sense; how could a limp be cured so quickly?
Even a fool could see that Cheng Yuan was fooling his third uncle.
Zhou Jianguo sighed.
"That being said, but..."
"No buts, all I can say is that this kid is incredibly bold."
Anyone with eyes can see that Cheng Yuan and his brother staged this whole thing to get their share of the family property.
Even the village chief was fooled; this is not a good situation.
"Well, Yu Dazhu and the others had no choice. If they didn't do it this way, that biased old woman, Wang, wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose dividing the family property."
As for the two hundred yuan, it was because Wang Shi was unwilling to give a single penny to the eldest son's family that the two brothers had no choice but to come up with this idea.
Hao Qiumei pouted unconvinced. She actually thought the two brothers were brave and resourceful, which was quite good!
That being said, it's not enough for us to just think that way.
Sigh, if this matter escalates, it will definitely affect the eldest son's family.
I can't possibly ignore it.
Zhou Jianguo put down his chopsticks and sighed.
This matter has become a big deal, and I don't know what the villagers will think.
Fortunately, Yu Dazhu's family is now thinking of the villagers when there are benefits to be had, and I believe the villagers will still stand on Yu Dazhu's side.
"Then what should we do?"
Are you really planning to go to Cuiping's house to confront her?
Hao Qiumei asked unhappily, her expression also not very pleasant.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and go to your Uncle Dazhu's house to tell Chengyuan and Brother Ping'an."
We'll eat when we get back.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Jianguo spoke to his son, who had not yet finished eating.
"Dad, what should I say when I go there?"
"Are you just saying that Yu Sanzhu and his wife came to our house to complain?"
Zhou Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks and asked.
Zhou Jianguo nodded. "Yes, that's all. Remember, don't let anyone see you when you go. It's best not to let the second or third wives see you."
