Chapter 183 Either pay the money or marry me
When Su saw the three people who had just set up their stall and returned, she asked in surprise, "What happened? Why did you come back so quickly? Did you forget anything?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi explained to her, "Mom, our cakes were all reserved by a steward in the mansion today, so we sold out as soon as we opened the stall today!"
Su: "Really? Oh, if I had known earlier, mother and your aunt would have steamed more today, then the steward wouldn't have needed so much, and the three of you could have set up a stall and sold some for a while."
"Mom, it's okay. We've earned some money today, and we have some free time!"
After lunch, Xu Zhiyi was about to go over to see how she was doing with the purification of calcium phosphate powder from phosphate ore. Wang Xiaohe hurried into the yard and saw Xu Zhiyi and said hastily:
"Sister Zhiyi, the people from Shitou Village are here. I heard one of the girls came to report that the village chief had asked someone to bring the fat man here!"
Su: "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, I'll explain it to you later. Let's go over and take a look at the situation."
The head of Shitou Village said: "Today, I came here with only one request, that is to hand over Yan Yue who broke my nephew's legs and several ribs. Otherwise, we in Shitou Village will never give up."
The head of Cuilin Village said, "Humph, if you want to find fault, you should make up a better excuse, okay? Your nephew's body is bigger than the pigs I have raised for a year. How could a delicate woman like Yan Yue break your nephew's legs and ribs? Even if you sue him in the government, do you think the county magistrate will believe it?"
Ma: "That's right, your nephew is as heavy as a pig. We need several grown men to kill a pig together. Yan Yue is a girl? She may not be able to lift a pig's trotter, not to mention that your nephew's leg is not lighter than a pig's trotter!"
The head of Shitou Village was very angry when he heard these mocking words: "You...you guys, don't go too far! My nephew is a human being. You keep mentioning pigs and insulting him. This is simply too much."
But after hearing this, he discovered the problem. How could Yan Yue, a woman, break her nephew's legs and ribs? His nephew was not dead, so how could he stretch out his legs for her to hit?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had no choice but to squat down and whispered, "Big Fatty, tell me the truth, was it really Yan Yue from Cuilin Village who broke your legs and caused all these injuries on your body?"
When Dapang heard this, he immediately felt guilty. He just wanted to blame it on Yan Yue and ask her to marry him and serve him for the rest of his life.
He wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought about the tigress who was stronger than a black bear, if he accidentally lost her, wouldn't he be courting death?
So Yan Yue is still the best. Although the tigress is also good-looking, he doesn’t dare!
"Uncle, although she wasn't Yan Yue, she was also present and could be considered an accomplice."
Upon hearing this, the head of Shitou Village was so angry at his nephew that he almost died: "What? You... you have a pig brain? How can you pin this kind of thing on a woman? No one will believe it if you tell others!"
"No, uncle, my ribs were broken by a woman, but I don't know her name! Uncle, my whole body hurts now, you must help me!"
Hearing this, the head of Stone Village became even angrier, and almost vomited blood: "Is your brain okay? Did you break it by kicking someone? And it was a woman? Are you stupid? You really just lie there and let someone kick you? And they really broke your big thick legs and ribs?"
Fatty: "No... that woman was very strong. She lifted me up and threw me against a tree. My ribs were broken by the tree. Uncle, it hurts so much. I'm going to die...!"
"It hurts, it hurts, my chest hurts right now because of you. My brother who is so smart has such a stupid son like you."
Then he stood up and looked at the people in Cuilin Village: "I heard the wrong person. It's not Yan Yue, but he is also from your Cuilin Village. So, Village Chief Chen, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you hand over the person, our two villages can still be good neighbors, otherwise we will be mortal enemies. You choose one!"
Xu Zhiyi brought everyone over. Da Pang recognized Xu Zhiyi and pointed at her and said excitedly: "Uncle, tigress, it was the woman in front who beat me up."
Upon hearing this, the head of Shitou Village looked at Xu Zhiyi and said coldly: "You broke my nephew's leg? Humph, today, either you pay three hundred taels of silver to protect my nephew's life for the rest of his life, or you marry him and make amends and serve him for the rest of his life. You, choose one..."
"Uncle, I don't want the person, I just want her to pay me money."
Xu Zhiyi: "Your nephew probably broke his leg somewhere, and you just want to blame it on the woman in our Cuilin Village? I broke his leg? Can you just blame it without any evidence?"
Broken leg? She clearly broke her ribs yesterday!!
Dapang: "It was you, yesterday afternoon at Zhifeng Mountain..."
Before he could finish his words, Ma on the side interrupted and said, "No one from our village went up Zhifeng Mountain yesterday. I was working in the fields at the foot of the mountain, and no one went up all afternoon."
Mu: "Yes, I can testify. I went to see Miss Xu in the afternoon and she was at home at that time."
Mrs. Wu: "I can testify to this. I passed by Miss Xu's house several times this afternoon, and she was busy in the yard."
The head of Shitou Village: "You all have informed each other, I will file a complaint with the government."
Village Chief Chen: "Go ahead and sue us! Even if we go to the government, we are telling the truth."
Yan Yue also hurried over with the three women from yesterday: "And me, I stayed at home all day yesterday, and I didn't expect someone to be so shameless. I don't know how he broke his leg, but he wanted to blame me. It's so funny to tell others about it! What a brainless person!"
The villagers of Shitou Village couldn't deny the incident because there was no evidence. What's more, the person they were blaming was a woman. How could it be possible?
In fact, they didn't believe it at all. This fat guy went to other villages to stare at girls every day. Maybe he was retaliated by the brother of one of the girls. Now they came to help to blame the girl from Cuilin Village. It was so embarrassing!
"Village Chief, why don't we just go back? We have no evidence, and we can't get any good out of this!"
"That's right! I may not be able to beat Big Fatty, let alone a girl."
After hearing this, the chief of Shitou Village was very angry, but he also knew that he had never been able to defeat Cuilin Village once in decades. He was really angry!
"Let's go back and discuss it first. This will be it for today for now."
When Big Fatty heard this, and the effect of the Ma Fei San on his legs was about to wear off, his legs began to hurt more and more, and he became irritated and roared angrily:
"If I don't, will my leg be broken in vain? Uncle, let her pay three hundred silver coins, or we will sue her. We have people in the government office. Didn't my third aunt's sister-in-law's niece's daughter marry a jailer?"
The head of Shitou Village: "Your third great aunt died more than ten years ago."
Dapang: "My cousin is still alive, isn't he? He can also help pass on a message. Uncle, my father died early. You promised to treat me as your son when he was lying on his sickbed. Now you can't just ignore me!"
"Alright! I'll go back and ask. Let's sue Cuilin Village. They will all be held accountable for harboring the thieves."
The people of Cuilin Village breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the people from Shitou Village leave in disgrace.
