As Liu San Niang rushed towards Old Lady Wang's house, the villagers who had been watching the commotion saw the battlefield shift and hurriedly followed her in a large group.
Village Chief Fu was also troubled. He turned to Elder Fu and the others and said:
"I'll handle this for you, so you don't need to go over there."
Fu Laoda snorted coldly, "Uncle, tell Old Lady Wang that once is acceptable, twice is acceptable, but not three times. If she does anything disgusting afterward, don't blame us for being impolite."
"That's right, Village Chief. Our family isn't very tolerant. Even clay figures have tempers. Old Lady Wang is always causing trouble. Does she really think we'll just let her bully us?"
Fu Wan was also somewhat annoyed. Although she wanted to see how Liu San Niang dealt with Wang Lao Tai, she still felt it was unlucky to go to Fu Lao Er's house.
After listening to what Fu Wan and the others said, Village Chief Fu nodded with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I will definitely punish them properly this time."
The village chief was also very annoyed by the constant disturbances.
After Village Chief Fu left, there were hardly any people gathered at the entrance.
Just as Boss Fu closed the courtyard gate, Fu Ming returned on his motorcycle.
"Dad, did A-Wan tell you that we're having guests?"
Fu Ming was already excitedly shouting even before he got out of the car.
"Huh? Where did this guest come from?"
As soon as Fu Wan entered the room, she heard Fu Ming's movements and realized that she had something she hadn't mentioned.
I was truly maddened by the commotion they caused when they came back!
But where did Fu Ming get this information?
Upon seeing Fu Wan emerge, Fu Ming pulled Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui into the main house and whispered the source of the information.
"I brought some steamed buns to Anning and Xiaobai, and guess what? I ran into Leader Sun at the camp gate!"
"Hey, Leader Sun really lives up to his reputation as the camp's top leader; he even remembers someone as insignificant as me."
Fu Ming was beaming with joy. Heaven knows how shocked he was when Sun Shao Ping greeted him from the side.
Ye Xiaocui grew anxious upon hearing this and quickly nudged him with her elbow, urging, "Get to the point!"
"Oh, this is important. Leader Sun told me that they spoke with the municipal and county party committees last night. This matter is of great importance, and people from the county party committee should be arriving soon."
Those people might stop by our house when they go to the camp!
"What?! Coming to our house?!"
Ye Xiaocui was completely shocked. It's true that they are mother and daughter; her expression at this moment was exactly the same as when Fu Ming first found out.
Fu Wan didn't show any expression. She knew from the beginning that the county committee was going to send people, but she didn't expect them to come today.
"I've heard about this from Leader Zhao. We should continue as usual; there's no need to feel burdened."
Despite saying that, Ye Xiaocui wouldn't listen to a word she said.
They immediately began tidying up the things in the yard.
“Amin, take all these bamboo tubes to the backyard. And husband, tidy up the firewood too.”
Ah Wan…
"I'll go sweep the floor!"
Fu Wan hurriedly spoke up, preparing to grab a broom and run away.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the broom from before.
She thought about it carefully, and oh my god, it seems that Liu San Niang took the broom to use as a weapon!
Fortunately, there were quite a few bamboo brooms made by Fu Ming and his family at home. In no time, the Fu family got to their places and started working. Even Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu in the house ran around doing chores.
At the same time, Liu San Niang's sharp curses could be faintly heard over.
"You damned old woman Wang, you heartless troublemaker!"
Other troublemakers only cause trouble for their own families, but you only cause trouble for others! Let me tell you, if you go looking for trouble with Old Master Fu's family again, I'll throw manure at your doorstep!
Fu Wan heard all of this clearly, and she couldn't help but give Liu San Niang a thumbs up for her fighting prowess.
If I had to say, it would have to be Liu San Niang. Over the years, she's been the most shrewish person in the village.
Old Lady Wang was so embarrassed by Liu San Niang's scolding that she lost face, and many villagers around her chimed in to support her.
In particular, Wang Xiuer, who heard the commotion, also ran over.
For a time, everyone in the village who had received favors from Fu Wan's family pointed and gossiped about Old Lady Wang's family. Seeing this, Fu Lao Er simply slipped out through the back door.
This was clearly caused by his mother; he couldn't handle it. He decided to go to the docks and see if there was anything he could do.
As a result, only Grandma Wang and Wang Zhaodi remained in Grandma Wang's house.
Wang Zhaodi was also terrified. The more she enjoyed the excitement just now, the more she wanted to cry.
Good heavens, how come I'm the one getting all the attention?!
"What's it to you? All you people do is bully us orphans and widows! Is there no justice in this world?!"
Old Mrs. Wang immediately started wailing again, but Liu San Niang wasn't having any of it and spat at her.
"Give me a break! Fu Xiulian caused trouble at Old Master Fu's house just now. You dare to say that this has nothing to do with you? Didn't you instigate it?!"
"Yes, Fu Xiulian herself said that you were the one who made her go!"
"That's right, Grandma Wang, you're just jealous because you see how well the Fu family is living!"
Several older women in the village didn't let her off the hook either, and immediately started pointing and gossiping about her.
Old Mrs. Wang was a woman who cared about her reputation. Faced with so many people's accusations, she felt like killing Fu Xiulian.
It's completely useless, just like her dead old coffin brother!
Even borrowing a little money can cause such a commotion!
You're so useless!
Old Mrs. Wang cursed inwardly, just as she was thinking about how to resolve the matter, when Village Chief Fu squeezed in.
He first tried to snatch the broom from Liu San Niang's hand, but despite his best efforts, the old man couldn't manage to take it away.
Fine, take it if you want.
"Ahem, Grandma Wang, did you send Fu Xiulian to Grandpa Fu's house to ask for money?"
Old Mrs. Wang's eyes darted around. Fu Xiulian wasn't here, so she could just say whatever she wanted.
"No, this has nothing to do with me!"
Old Village Chief Fu chuckled, "Whether it's true or not, you know perfectly well. This is my last warning to you: don't cause trouble in Fu Family Village. If there's a next time, don't blame me for not removing you from the family register out of respect for Fu Lao Er's father!"
"Also, you guys need to go apologize to Elder Fu later, and clean the latrines... Never mind, just apologize!"
Village Chief Fu originally wanted them to clean the outhouse for Fu Lao Da's family, but he was afraid that Wang Lao Tai, that crazy old woman, would buy a firecracker and blow up the latrine!
Grandma Wang remained silent for a long time; she was truly frightened by these words.
Sweeping out the latrine and apologizing wouldn't scare her, but being kicked out of the family tree was what truly frightened her.
In Old Mrs. Wang's mind, once a woman gets married, she must take her husband's surname. If she is removed from the family genealogy, she will be a lonely ghost after death, unable to bear the offerings of her descendants.
This won't do!
Old Mrs. Wang immediately turned ashen-faced, and when Village Chief Fu saw that she didn't say anything, he assumed she knew.
That old woman, she's over sixty years old, and she never stops causing trouble!
He decided to go back and talk to Fu Lao Er again, asking him to take care of these messy things at home!
