Chapter 178: First Battle Victory
Zhao Zhilan took the lead and rushed forward, followed by her three sons, daughters-in-law, and four children in the family, all following behind her.
The news first spread from the well at the west end of the village, which was also the place where the largest and most densely populated people from the two villages gathered. That was Zhao Zhilan's destination.
She wanted to see which chatterbox was talking nonsense and was determined to tear these people's mouths apart!
"This Mr. Wang is so unreasonable!" Wang Cailian was still holding a spatula in her hand, cursing as she walked.
"It's fine that he's an old pervert, but how old is his stupid son? He's not satisfied with having Chen Xiaojuan as his child bride, and he's even thinking about taking advantage of our Baoya? I think his head is filled with shit, I'll teach him a lesson!"
"That's right! He thinks he's so great just because he has some money? What can he do about my daughter?" Yun Sanlang said angrily.
He Chunxiu followed Yun Sanlang and said, "How dare they! I won't give Baoya to them even if I risk my life!"
Yun Erlang and Li Rongyue were also very angry. They even brought a broom for sweeping the floor and a sickle for chopping wood, as if they were going to fight someone to the death.
The four children followed behind the adults. Yunhua was holding Yunyue's hand, and Yun Chenglu was holding Baoya. They were all very angry.
"The dog yesterday was not dead at all, it just fainted. How can the Wang family say such nonsense! Bah, so shameless!" Yun Yue gritted her teeth.
Yunhua also said, "Yeah, his dog is obviously fine, but he actually wants Baoya to be his child bride. This is too much!"
She doesn't curse, and the harshest words she says are "too much" and "too bad".
Baoya leaned on Yun Chenglu's shoulder, blinking at how angry they all were. "Second brother, third sister, fourth sister, what exactly is a child bride?"
Yun Chenglu: ...
"It's nothing. It's just that the Wang family thinks you're good and wants to take you over." Yun Chenglu explained simply.
"Oh," the little girl nodded, then quickly shook her head, "I don't want to go to the Wang family."
"Well, second brother will never let you go!" Yun Chenglu touched her little head and said it very firmly.
The whole family soon arrived at the well at the west end of the village. Because of the news that came out in the morning, a lot of people had gathered by the well. There were people from Heishui Village and Feishui Village, each accounting for almost half of the people.
Zhao Zhilan angrily squeezed into the crowd and saw a skinny man dressed in blue coarse cloth, dressed like a writer, sitting on a big rock and talking with relish.
Next to him was a sturdy servant wearing the same clothes, who echoed his voice.
"Our master is showing them a great favor!" the thin servant said with a beaming expression. "That's a mastiff we bought from a foreign country. I heard it cost over a hundred taels of silver! The master knew they couldn't afford the compensation, so he gave them a way out!"
The strong servant nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the master is now on good terms with the governor of Cangchen Prefecture. I wonder how many people in this village and outside the village are eager to marry their daughters to our young master!"
Zhao Zhilan stood there with her hands on her hips and said bluntly, "Since it's such a good thing, I think you should keep it for your daughter!"
"Hey, where did you come from, old woman?" The stout servant raised his eyebrow. "We're talking about the Yun family, why are you butting in?"
"Why should I butt in? I, an old woman, can't stand you two speaking without restraint and making up stories about my granddaughter!"
As soon as Zhao Zhilan said this, the villagers of Heishui Village who had gathered together to join in the fun were suddenly in an uproar.
Oh! This is the old lady of the Yun family!
"Yun... Old lady of the Yun family?" Both the thin servant and the strong servant looked extremely ugly.
"Hmph!" Zhao Zhilan snorted coldly, "As for yesterday's incident, call your master over to discuss it in person! What's the point of sending you two servants to spread rumors everywhere?!"
"Your young master doesn't care about his reputation, but my granddaughter won't tolerate your nonsense! Don't even think about a child bride for the Wang family!"
The skinny servant was also a little angry when he saw her speaking so rudely: "Poor old woman, you are so ignorant! You think you can be so arrogant just because you have some money and built a new house?"
"I'm telling you, our master said that General Hei was beaten to death by your Baoya. You either have to pay compensation or pay a hundred taels of silver! Think it over, and tomorrow bring your people or the money to the Wang residence in Heishui Village to negotiate."
Wow! A big black dog wants a hundred taels!
The people from the two villages present were all shocked. They were ignorant, but the big dog looked nothing special. It was just a little bigger than the domestic ones. How could it cost one hundred taels all of a sudden?
The villagers who were watching the fun shook their heads. The Yun family was in trouble, and the Wang family was deliberately making things difficult for them. They didn't take the Yun family seriously at all, and Master Wang didn't even show up.
Seeing these two people so arrogant, Zhao Zhilan did not show any fear. She waved her hand and said, "I won't go! I am an old woman, why should I go to your Wang's house to negotiate?"
"Besides, the incident started because your silly young master bullied the children in our village. My Chenglu came to help, but was attacked by your beast. Baoya beat that beast in self-defense. Why should she pay compensation?!"
As she spoke, she stamped her feet and said, "Go back and tell your master that the old lady of the Yun family listened to your master's words and was so angry that she overturned the dinner table. She wanted Baoya to be a child bride for her stupid son. No way!"
"If he really wants to solve the problem, tell him to come here tomorrow to talk with Heishui Village Chief Wang! I'll also call Chief Liu, and we'll be frank and honest. Otherwise, we'll go to the authorities. Anyway, I'm half buried in the ground, so I'm not afraid of you!"
The thin servant and the strong servant were frightened by her aura. It took them a long time to recover and they were embarrassed.
The skinny servant waved his hand to the group of men from Blackwater Village who had come to watch the fun, saying, "Did you see that? This old woman doesn't take us from Blackwater Village seriously! She's trying to intimidate us!"
When everyone heard what he said, they became angry and clenched the water-carrying poles in their hands, pretending to be ready to fight.
Of course, the people in Feishui Village were not to be trifled with. Wu Ergou happened to be there, so he clenched his fists and spat at the feet of the skinny servant.
"What? Fighting? I'm itching to fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and punched the thin servant on the nose.
“Ahhhh!”
The skinny servant was a bluffing paper tiger. He let out a loud cry, covered his bleeding nose, and fell to the ground.
When several men from Heishui Village saw the fire, they immediately took a few steps forward carrying their shoulder poles and sticks.
As a result, when I looked up, I saw a row of strong men from Feishui Village standing in front of me, like a wall.
Led by Wu Ergou, the three brothers of the Yun family, and several people including Yang the Hunter, all of them clenched their fists, carried sickles and carrying poles, looking ferocious.
This was originally the territory of Feishui Village. A strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. Several people from Heishui Village immediately became intimidated, swallowed their saliva, and retreated.
The strong servant quickly helped the thin servant, whose face was covered in blood, up from the ground and called out to the people of Heishui Village: "Let's go! Go back!"
"Tsk!" Zhao Zhilan glanced at them with disdain and reached out to pick Baoya up. "What a bunch of cowards! You're trying to take advantage of my sweet granddaughter!"
Baoya leaned on her shoulder, stuck out her tongue at the backs of those people, and said in a clear voice: "Walk slowly, be careful not to fall!"
The strong servant who was supporting the thin servant tripped and both of them fell down.
