Chen Lizheng glanced at Old Lady Wu and said leisurely, "What nonsense are you talking about? Have a good dinner and go to bed quickly."
Originally, Li Zheng was thinking that the matter was not a big deal and he could just let it go.
But before anyone else could express their disapproval, Old Lady Wu started making a fuss first.
"Erdan, what do you mean? Didn't you hear what they said about me? Are we still not from the same family? If you remember your eldest brother, just kick them all out."
Shen Lizheng was able to get the position of Lizheng thanks to a lot of help from his deceased elder brother.
That's why Shen Lizheng turned a blind eye to what Old Lady Wu did, but if he doesn't say something fair about this matter today, he's afraid he'll lose the support of the people.
His face turned cold, and he rebuked Mrs. Wu's sons, saying, "If you don't take good care of them, you will go out on your own like Mr. Shen's family."
They naturally knew what Shen Lizheng meant.
He felt very unhappy being laughed at by so many people, so he pulled Old Lady Wu back.
Old Mrs. Wu is a fearless person, except for her sons.
Seeing that they were really unhappy, he sat down slowly and didn't say anything else.
"Okay, let's all rest quickly." Shen Lizheng said seriously.
Although the others were very unhappy that Chen Lizheng did not say anything to Old Lady Wu, they also knew that they couldn't make things too awkward, so they just let the matter pass.
But in the end, he was alienated from the village head and felt that what he was doing was really unfair.
Over there, the Shen family members saw that there was nothing exciting to see, so they dispersed, packed up their things and prepared to rest.
They are also very tired every day.
After leaving the team, they have to arrange the night watch by themselves.
However, everyone expressed their willingness to keep watch, and finally two people were arranged in the first half of the night and two people in the second half.
Shen Yu'an and Xiao Zhang were still sleeping in the carriage, while the others spread straw mats and thin quilts on the ground and slept on them.
…
Maybe he drank too much water before going to bed, and Mr. Shen Xingwang was woken up by suffocation not long after he fell asleep.
He got up quietly, picked up the crutch beside him, said hello to Shen Rong and Da Lang who were keeping watch, and went to a farther place.
As luck would have it, when Mr. Shen Xingwang was about to go back, he actually met his son.
He originally wanted to say a few words, but when he thought about what they had done in the morning, he hardened his heart and continued walking without stopping.
At noon, the three brothers learned that the Shen family might have found so much food in the city, and they felt very anxious and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
The three brothers who were not asleep happened to see old man Shen Xingwang getting up at night, so they followed him.
When Mr. Shen Xingwang was about to leave, he was stopped by three people.
The old man had a complicated expression on his face and asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"
The eldest brother immediately smiled and said, "Dad, are you okay at Second Uncle's house today? Did they bully you? If they did, tell me and I will definitely seek justice for you."
The second and third brothers also nodded quickly, each smiling more sincerely than the other, as if they were not the cruel ones this morning.
The old man didn't understand what he meant and said, "They are very kind to me, how can they bully me!"
The three of them laughed even more sincerely when they heard this and quickly responded.
"Yes, yes, my second uncle and his family are the kindest. They will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Well, Dad, I heard that my second uncle's family found a truckload of food in the city. You see, my second uncle and his family are so nice, you should give them some. There are several kids at home, and the little food we brought is not enough for them to eat."
The other two brothers nodded quickly.
"Second Uncle has the best relationship with you. He will definitely give it to you if you ask for it." They encouraged again.
The more the old man listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he found it unbelievable.
He could no longer contain his anger and excitedly knocked the ground a few times with his cane.
"You bastards, your second uncle's family sells so much grain to the villagers, but now they don't have as much grain as ours. Not only do you not want to help out with your own grain, but you even want to take their grain."
The three brothers became unhappy when they heard this. They had plenty of food but also a lot of people, and they didn’t know how long they would have to travel. So why not keep some more food for themselves?
"Dad, why do you say that? Didn't my second uncle's family find food in the city? If they add up all the food, they have more than ours. So what if they give us half? They can't finish it anyway."
The old man was so angry that his hands were tangled and he could hardly hold his cane. He gritted his teeth and said, "They didn't find any food in the city."
After saying that, the old man wanted to leave. If he continued talking to these three bastards, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and start beating them up.
The three brothers obviously didn't believe it, and they stood in front of the old man, trying to force him to agree.
As the three brothers pushed and shoved, they accidentally used too much force, and the old man fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"ah!"
A cry of pain came from the old man's mouth.
The three of them knew that they had ruined the situation, and they blamed each other with a guilty conscience, "We didn't push you. You fell because you didn't stand firmly."
"Yes, yes, we didn't push you."
The old man sat on the ground and couldn't stand up. He broke out in cold sweats from the pain and felt increasingly sad.
The three men spoke softer and softer, and seeing the old man sitting on the ground gasping for breath, they felt guilty and short of breath.
"This... this, this, what should we do? Why don't we go back quickly?"
After saying this, the three of them turned around and wanted to run, but they met Shen Yu'an and Shen Rong who came to find them.
It turned out that Shen Rong and Da Lang saw that the old man had not returned yet, and they were worried that he would have difficulty walking at night, so they wanted to look for him.
Shen Yu'an was woken up and followed along.
As a result, I saw the old man sitting on the ground and the three brothers who looked panicked.
Shen Yu'an saw that the old man didn't look well, probably because he fell, so he asked his father to help the old man up, but he himself blocked the three brothers.
The three of them were very nervous, afraid that if they stayed any longer the old man would tell others about what had just happened, so they wanted to push Shen Yu'an aside.
Shen Yu'an would never let them go so easily. He kicked each of them and asked, "Grandpa, were they the ones who pushed you down?"
Before the old man could answer, the three brothers started to explain: "It wasn't us, it wasn't us. He just fell because he was walking unsteadily."
Shen Yu'an didn't even look at them, and still asked: "Grandpa, if it wasn't them who did it, just say something."
If I ask the old man to say that they were the ones who beat him up, he probably won't be able to open his mouth. So I just ask him this way. As long as he doesn't answer, it must be them who beat him up.
Seeing that the old man didn't answer, Shen Yu'an and Shen Rong understood what was going on.
Shen Rong was still supporting the old man and couldn't free his hands, so Shen Yu'an pinched his fingers and walked towards the three brothers with a sneer on his face.
Little did they know that at this moment, Shen Yu'an was like an evil ghost in the eyes of the three brothers.
The three brothers ignored the pain in their bodies, got up and wanted to escape, but how could Shen Yu'an let them do as they wished?
