Chapter 103: Not as Good as Wu Ergou
As soon as Zhao Zhilan said this, Zhou Cuihua exploded: "Why?! My man risked his life to go up the mountain, and he got nothing. The wild boars all went to the cave where you took shelter from the rain?!"
"I think it's you, an old woman, who's behind this! You're teaming up with Hunter Yang and the others to steal the wild boar!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the families of the people who had gone up the mountain with her and said, "We can't just let this go! I heard there were four wild boars! Each one must weigh at least 300 to 400 kilograms. We absolutely can't let them take them all!"
After hearing what she said, several people who had gone up the mountain but got nothing were immediately tempted and started clamoring to share the wild boar.
Only Wu Ergou stood aside silently.
"What are you arguing about? You signed the document yourselves. If anyone wants to go back on his word now, let's go talk to the county magistrate!" Zhao Zhilan couldn't stand these people's bad habits.
Besides, this wild boar shouldn't belong to them.
What a bunch of idiots, they almost killed Liu Lizheng and Yang Liehu trying to find them, and they're still thinking about dividing the pork? Why don't they just go to heaven!
She fed all the wild boar meat to the dogs and refused to share it with these nasty things!
"Cough!" Liu Lizheng, who walked out of his house with his hands behind his back, coughed and stood in the crowd.
After all, he was old. When he came down from the mountain, he stared at the three brothers of the Yun family and Yang Daguang and asked them to find someone to rescue the seven people who went up the mountain. He also asked someone to find a doctor for them.
After wandering around for most of the day, I finally took the time to go home, change clothes and rest for a while.
When they saw Liu Lizheng coming, everyone stopped arguing and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
When Liu Lizheng was young, he passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate of Ping'an Town. He worked there for more than 40 years with diligence, fairness and integrity, and managed Ping'an Town in an orderly manner.
Because he didn't have any big ambitions and just wanted a stable and peaceful life, he gave up many opportunities for promotion.
Later, when he was old, he resigned from the court and returned to his hometown. He then returned to Feishui Village, where he was born and raised, and took over the position of village head.
There was no one in the village who didn't know him. They all admired and respected him, and were subject to his management.
"Liu Lizheng, please take a look!" Zhou Cuihua wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, and she looked so pitiful.
She hugged Chen Xiaojuan to her and cried, "My Xiaojuan is still so young, Chengcai is still studying in town, and now Chen Changshui has fallen, how can I live like this!"
"Look at the Yun family! Now that they've become wealthy, they've brought Hunter Yang along with them to devise evil schemes and harm the folks of Feishui Village!"
"Now the seven of us who went up the mountain are all injured, and her three sons secretly went up the mountain to hunt wild boars. Not only did they not hurt anyone, but they also didn't even share the meat with us! Tell me, how could that be possible!"
"Please ask the village head to help us!" Zhang Xiuer also cried.
"Liu Lizheng, you are the most fair. We all trust you!"
"That's right! The Yun family didn't sign the document, yet they went up the mountain without permission. How can we explain this?"
The other four who followed him up the mountain also started shouting.
Only Wu Ergou frowned and said nothing.
"What do you mean? I think there's nothing wrong with what Aunt Zhao said! I shouldn't give you a single pig hair!"
Liu Lizheng was so angry that his beard was shaking. He pointed at Zhou Cuihua, Zhang Xiu'er, and Li Fugui.
"As human beings, have a conscience. Check your own chests. Do you still have a conscience?!"
"The Yun brothers went up the mountain to save Hunter Yang and me! Besides, if they hadn't brought people up the mountain to look for you, you'd still be trapped there! How dare you come and share the pork?!"
"If anyone makes trouble again, we'll meet at the county government office!"
He spoke so harshly that those people immediately fell silent.
But Zhou Cuihua refused to give in, and said shamelessly, "Liu Lizheng, I'm not talking about you, but Yang Daguang and the Yun family are clearly colluding to cheat us!"
Liu Lizheng was about to speak when Wu Ergou, who had been silent next to him, spoke.
"You guys are shamelessly asking for pork, but I don't have the nerve to ask for it."
"What...what's going on?" Zhang Xiu'er was stunned by what he said.
Then Wu Ergou said, "You old ladies, watching your husbands get hurt and gaining nothing, don't you feel unwilling? Then let me tell you what happened at that time."
"How else could this be? The Yun family must have bad intentions!" Zhou Cuihua stiffened her neck and said unconvincedly.
Wu Ergou glared at her without saying a word, and she immediately backed down.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu were also crowded in the crowd watching the fun. Seeing this, she shook Yun Chenglu's sleeve and said, "Second brother, why do I feel like things are getting complicated?"
Yun Yue beside him was also puzzled: "Why is that idiot Wu Ergou still speaking up for us?"
"Shh, just watch the show." Yun Chenglu was watching intently, and raised his hand perfunctorily to touch Baoya and Yunyue's little heads.
Yunhua thoughtfully took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and shared them with them. Once the two little girls closed their mouths, they didn't bother to ask any more questions.
"Actually, Liu Lizheng and Yang Daguang came to find us and met us." Wu Ergou glanced at these unreasonable women and said.
"When they found us, it wasn't raining yet. Liu Lizheng urged us to go back quickly, but we had already seen the wild boar's shadow, so naturally no one listened. We were all focused on chasing the wild boar..."
At that time, Liu Lizheng and Yang Daguang tried to persuade them in every possible way, and their lips were almost worn out. If they were not outnumbered and could not defeat this group of people, they would have wanted to knock them out and carry them back.
But the wild boar was right in front of them, and they were all overwhelmed, thinking that although the sky was cloudy, it would definitely take some time before it started raining again.
As long as they chased the wild boar, even if they only caught one, they would immediately drag it down the mountain and nothing would happen. So they went into the mountains on their own.
In the end, the wild boar was lost, and the seven of them were trapped in the mountains and couldn't get out. Everyone was injured.
As he spoke, Liu Lizheng sighed beside him, "Ah, after that, Daguang and I were helpless. They left, and we couldn't stop them, so we had to turn back. But halfway there, it started to rain, like a downpour, really heavy."
"We wanted to go down the mountain, but the road was blocked by rubble. We tried to take a detour, but ended up being buried by fallen rocks. We weren't rescued until the three Yun brothers showed up."
After Liu Lizheng finished speaking, Wu Ergou glanced at the six people and said, "Anyway, I don't have the face to share any pork. If you guys still shamelessly ask for it, I really have nothing to say."
"Liu Lizheng, my injury is not serious. The doctor won't see me. I'm leaving first." After he said that, he turned around and left, no longer paying attention to these noisy people.
Baoya smacked her lips as she watched, pointing at Zhou Cuihua, who was slumped on the ground, dumbfounded, and said to Yunyue, "Fourth sister, why do I feel like Aunt Zhou is even worse than Wu Ergou?"
Yun Yue cracked melon seeds skillfully, spitting out the shells one by one: "So, I think her face must be thicker than that city wall!"
Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Lizheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've made it clear. These four wild boars belong to the Yun family. Do you have any objections?"
