Chapter 41 They Sued You 1
Seeing that she refused to leave, Gu Leyou had no choice but to take him and the child to his uncle's house to see his grandmother.
When Liu saw her granddaughter, she ran back home. I immediately scolded her, "Why are you running back here instead of staying at your husband's house?"
"Grandma, your eldest daughter-in-law is arguing with someone in the fields. Don't you want to go and take a look? I heard it's quite lively."
"Yes, Grandma Gu, they were arguing so loudly that many people gathered around to watch, and we couldn't pull them apart."
When Liu heard this, she rushed out in a hurry.
When Gu Leyou saw her go out, he thought that the two of them could resolve the problem, so he took the child home.
In the fields.
The two quarreled fiercely, spit flying everywhere, and the villagers who were working around gathered around to try to stop the fight. Gray-haired Grandpa Zhang squeezed in and advised loudly, "Stop arguing! It's not worth it to hurt the harmony among neighbors over a few chickens. Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, calm down first; Li's sister-in-law, don't get angry either. Let's go to the vegetable garden and take a look. If it's really your chicken, you can pay for the seedlings and just take good care of the chicken in the future."
The two men then snorted coldly and walked towards the vegetable field surrounded by the crowd. The heat of the fierce quarrel still remained on the ridges of the fields, and the village had lost its usual peace in the afternoon.
Liu rushed over to take a look and immediately called her daughter-in-law back.
"Alright, alright, come back with me and don't embarrass yourself."
Yang knew that she was in the wrong, and when she saw her mother-in-law coming, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and wanted to go home with her mother-in-law, but her sister-in-law who had left home was not someone to be trifled with.
I suffered a loss and was scolded by Yang for no reason. I absolutely cannot let it go like this.
She came to Yang and demanded an apology.
"No matter how much you say today, you have to sincerely apologize to me. You can only leave after I forgive you. Otherwise, I will go to the county to sue you. Our Qingtian Daye is a well-known good official. I don't believe that he won't make the decision for me. What will be the consequences for you then?"
Yang thought that Li's sister-in-law was trying to scare her, so she said with disdain, "I don't believe it. Our county magistrate is so busy that he doesn't have time to care about such a trivial matter. So your words don't count."
"If you don't believe me, then let's try it. I'll go back and ask my son to write a petition. I'll go there tomorrow and ask you to write the final chapter. Let's see if you'll still be so arrogant."
After saying this, Mrs. Li squeezed through the crowd and left.
Yang still looked disdainful, "Tsk, who are you trying to scare? I wasn't brought up to be scared. I don't believe that the county magistrate would care about such a trivial matter."
Everyone's eyes were not filled with excitement, so they just dispersed after watching it.
After returning home, Yang was scolded by Liu again.
"You are such a woman, you are not quiet at all. Why are you going to look for that girl again? Her family has severed ties with us, and they are no longer part of our family. Why are you still looking for them?"
"Mom, what you said is not right. Severing the relationship does not mean that he can not pay back the money. He owes us ten ingots of silver. If I don't get the money back, I won't be able to sleep well."
Of course Liu knew what was going on with the money.
Although she loves money, she also knows that she cannot take money that is not hers.
She would only accept money if it was given to her for free.
So he left a sentence: "Boss, take good care of your wife and don't embarrass herself by going out." Then he went into the house.
…
Just after the beginning of autumn, the sultry air seemed to be stagnant. In the fields, people were working. In the Gu family's several acres of square farmland, the rice was heading with all its might. It should have been a scene full of hope, but it was disturbed by a fierce quarrel, which attracted the attention of neighbors and made them rush over.
Gu Haixiong, the second son of the Gu family, is tall and strong, like a solid wall. His bronze skin shines glossy under the scorching sun, which is the mark of years of farm work, exposed to the sun and rain. The calluses on his hands are as thick as the soles of shoes. Whenever people in the village mention him, they have to give him a thumbs up and praise him as a “farmer’s expert.” The younger brother, Gu Haiwei, was thin and frail, but he was restless and had a mind full of new ideas. Looking at the unchanging farming model in the village, he often couldn't help muttering, "There is no future in farming like this. We must find a new way out."
The conflict broke out without warning this afternoon, and the trigger was the issue of fertilizing this season's rice. Gu Haixiong frowned, carrying a load of farm manure, and walked steadily towards his own rice field. His childhood experience made him sure that it was safest to use familiar farm manure at this time. Although the fertilizer would take a long time to take effect, it could steadily maintain the yield. Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at the edge of the field, I saw Gu Haiwei bending over and sprinkling handfuls of white powder into the field - fertilizer.
"You're a spendthrift! You can't use fertilizers blindly. If you don't control the dosage well, it will definitely burn the roots. Then you won't get any harvest and your whole family will have to starve!" Gu Haixiong's eyes widened instantly, as if he saw a ferocious beast breaking into the field. Veins on his forehead bulged. He took two steps at a time and took a firm step forward, grabbing Gu Haiwei's collar, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment through this grab.
Gu Haiwei was already feeling guilty, and being grabbed like this made his face turn red with anxiety. He used both hands to pry open his brother's iron-like hands, stiffened his neck, and retorted: "Second brother, what do you know? This was brought by my friend, who said that if we do it this way, our family will have a big harvest. Do you really want me to be as poor as you?"
"All you do is hang out with your bad friends. What good can they teach you? You don't do anything serious every day, but just think of some crooked ways."
The two of them were arguing back and forth, neither of them giving in, their tempers rising, and in the blink of an eye they were wrestling with each other. Gu Haixiong, relying on his physique advantage, swung his fist as big as a casserole filled with anger; Gu Haiwei was younger and more agile after all, so he dodged to the side and tripped over. Gu Haixiong staggered and almost fell into the rice field, splashing a large amount of mud and water. He was not willing to give up. He steadied himself, became more and more annoyed, and pounced on Gu Haiwei. Using his strength, he pinned him to the ground, and his fists rained down like raindrops. Gu Haiwei was pinned down and unable to move. His hands and feet were waving in the air. His nails scratched Gu Haixiong's cheek, leaving several bloody marks in an instant.
The surrounding rice ears were shaken by the impact, and many tender ears were broken and scattered to the ground. When the neighbors heard the noise, they rushed over to stop the fight. "Stop fighting, brothers, why bother? Let's talk it out if we have something to say." Old Zhang at the head of the village shouted at the top of his voice, while he and a few strong men grabbed the two men. It took a lot of effort to pull the two apart.
