Chapter 179 Head-on Confrontation
The next morning, both Heishui Village and Feishui Village were in an uproar.
The Wang family of Heishui Village, which has always been rich and powerful and never looks down on others, was given face by the old lady of the Yun family of Feishui Village.
Wang Decai, the master of the Wang family, was so angry that he tossed and turned on the mahogany bed.
"She's just a village woman, and she dares to challenge me? She even dares to flip the table?!" Wang Decai slammed the bed. "She's so lucky to have her granddaughter in her eyes! She doesn't know what's good for her!"
Nanny Li stood aside with her head down, saying politely, "Master, let's go to Feishui Village today..."
"Go! You have to go! Otherwise she'll think I'm afraid of her!"
Wang Decai's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light: "Go call Wang Lizheng, let's go now! After making a little money and building a new house, they don't even know their surnames anymore. Today, I, Wang Decai, will let them see the power of the Wang family!"
Wang Decai, who is fifty-seven years old this year, started his business by selling illegal salt. Later, when the government cracked down on him, he quit. He used the money he earned from selling salt to start a business and opened a silk shop. He gradually accumulated his current wealth.
However, in his business dealings, he had more or less dealt with people in the officialdom. As a smooth and sophisticated person, he had made friends with many officials of all ranks, and the current governor of Cangchenzhou was one of them.
Seeing him walking out smoking his pipe, Nanny Li hesitated for a moment before reminding him, "Master, our village still relies on Feishui Village for water. If you leave like this, it will...it will make things difficult for Li Zheng Wang."
Wang Decai paused on the threshold, turned his head and glared at Li Ma: "Why? You seem to be really thinking of Wang Lizheng. How about I sell you out and make you Wang Li's servant? After all, that old fellow is actually my relative."
Nanny Li knew she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly knelt on the ground and slapped herself twice: "Master, calm down! Master, calm down! It was me who spoke too much!"
Wang Decai took a puff from his pipe, twisted the pipe handle with his delicate hands, and blew a big puff of smoke ring towards Li Ma's face.
"Less talk, more action. You are Guikang's wet nurse. I remember that you have worked hard for the Wang family for so many years, so I will forgive you this time."
After saying this, he walked away leisurely, holding his pipe and humming a tune.
Nanny Li didn't dare to get up from the ground until he was out of sight. She coughed several times because of choking. She had tried hard to hold it in because Wang Decai was there.
There was a clattering sound of footsteps outside the door, and a huge black shadow walked in from outside, and its big furry head nudged against Li Ma's body.
Nanny Li sighed and reached out to give it a light smack on the butt: "It's all your fault."
After what happened that day, she couldn't understand why the usually obedient Black General suddenly went crazy.
Because they still had to rely on Feishui Village for water, after she brought Zhuangzi and Wang Guikang back that day, she called a doctor to see General Hei and specifically told Zhuangzi not to talk too much.
But unexpectedly, the problem was caused by Wang Guikang.
The wronged silly young master went to his father Wang Decai to complain. After listening to him, Wang Decai made an idea and decided to take Baoya back to be his son's wife and tell others that the dog was dead.
Nanny Li had a headache. It would take some time to dig the well in the village. Since the master was so impulsive, they might have to go to a farther village to fetch water in the future.
…
On the other side, on the open space at the west end of Feishui Village, Liu Lizheng asked people to build a simple thatched shed and moved a lot of tables and chairs to create a place for meetings.
It is now January. Even if the sun is shining brightly and the wind is biting cold during the day, the thatched hut can provide some protection, but it is not very helpful and is better than nothing.
Many of the villagers who were sitting on the benches and crowded around the shed had wrapped themselves in their thickest cotton-padded jackets. Although they were shivering with cold, no one left. They were all waiting to see how the Wang and Yun families would resolve the matter.
Not the entire Yun family came out today. Only Zhao Zhilan, the three sons of the Yun family, and four children came. The three daughters-in-law were not allowed to come.
After all, for this kind of thing, a few grown men can support you. Asking women to come over will do nothing but scold and argue. It would be better for them to stay at home and look after the house.
At this time, Baoya was sitting side by side with Yun Chenglu, Yunhua, Yunyue and others in the corner of the shed.
A pair of white and soft little hands supported the cheeks and looked towards the direction of Heishui Village.
"Second brother, third sister, fourth sister, what do you think? Will Master Wang really come?"
"Don't worry," Yunhua explained to her logically, "Grandma said such harsh words yesterday. If Mr. Wang doesn't come today, the villagers will probably say he's afraid of Grandma. He will definitely come."
As if to confirm her words, Yunyue suddenly slammed the table and shouted excitedly: "Baoya, here it comes! Look!"
Baoya looked in the direction of her finger and saw a well-dressed, fat old man with a pipe in his mouth walking towards them. Two strong servants followed him on his left and right, and a fat old man with a hunched back was walking in front of him.
Baoya stared at the man for a while and said "Oh".
Yun Chenglu asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Wang and Young Master Wang are definitely father and son."
"Pfft," Yun Chenglu laughed, "That's right, why do you say that?"
Baoya pouted in Wang Decai's direction and said, "Look at Mr. Wang, he's white and plump, and that young master Wang looks like they were cast in the same mold."
Yun Chenglu, Yun Hua and Yun Yue all looked over there.
At this time, Mr. Wang had already sat down on a bench across the aisle from the Yun family's seat. The two strong servants stood beside him, and the fat old man with a hunched back sat on a row of benches behind him.
Nanny Li and Wang Guikang arrived at some point and sat next to Wang Decai.
Yun Chenglu and the others looked at the two almost identical fat faces, one big and one small, with squinting eyes, chubby cheeks, and double chins, and nodded thoughtfully.
"It's true, they are all fat and big-eared, so similar." Yun Chenglu sighed.
At this moment, Liu Lizheng walked in from outside. Seeing Wang Decai and the others, his face suddenly darkened: "Master Wang, Wang Lizheng, since both sides are here, let's get started."
Li Zheng Wang nodded, glanced at Wang Decai who was sitting in front, and said, "Since the Yun family doesn't agree with Master Wang's solution, let them talk about how they want to solve this problem."
Zhao Zhilan immediately said, "You said Baoya killed our dog and forced us to pay compensation. You should at least let us know that the dog is really dead. You can't just say whatever you say is true!"
Wang Decai frowned, waved to a servant next to him, and whispered something in his ear. After hearing it, the servant immediately turned around and left.
"I told him to go back and drag the dog's body." Wang Decai said.
