Li Kaishan led a large group of men and said, "Let's see who dares to cause trouble in my Canghe Village! Tie them all up."
At Li Kaishan's command, the men behind him began to tie up all the male members of the Zhao family tightly.
Grandma Zhao was immediately frightened and quickly said, "This is a misunderstanding. This is our own family matter. We have no intention of going against Canghe Village."
Li Kaishan snorted and said, "They brought people to trespass into my Canghe Village without permission, maliciously injured my villagers, and claimed it was a family matter. Even if it is a family matter, I, as the village head, have to take care of such evil deeds."
While Li Kaishan was arguing with the Zhao family, Yan Qingqing helped Old Master Li up and asked, "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Grandpa Li shook his head and said, "Xiang Bao is protecting me, I'm fine."
Yan Qingqing looked at Li Xiangbao again. The child had bruises on his forehead and face, and there were probably more on his body.
When Li Xiangbao saw Yan Qingqing looking at him, he quickly forced a smile and said, "Second Aunt, I'm fine. Your moves just now were really amazing. Could you teach me sometime?"
It was probably when he laughed that the wound at the corner of his mouth was aggravated, and Li Xiangbao gasped in pain.
Yan Qingqing patted Li Xiangbao on the shoulder and said, "Good job, kid! I'll teach you whatever you want to learn in the future. But I still want to tell you not to be stubborn when the two sides are not evenly matched. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. You could have slipped out to ask for help today. If your village chief and I hadn't come, you would have really suffered a great loss."
Li Xiangbao nodded to indicate that he had remembered it. Li Xiangjian also came over to look at Li Xiangbao's injury and then whispered to him, "My mother is willing to teach you these things, which proves that she approves of you. You must seize this opportunity. Let me tell you, my mother is very capable."
"My mother wouldn't even glance at those people who aren't worth teaching."
After speaking, he gestured for Li Xiangbao to look at Li Xiangjin and Li Xiangyin, who were still squatting silently to the side.
The fact that these two men remained silent and timid when the Zhao family came knocking on their door chilled Li Xiangbao to the bone.
However, Li Xiangjian's words just now made him very happy. He was able to catch his second aunt's eye, and even if he only learned a little bit from her, it would be enough for him for the rest of his life.
Yan Qingqing glanced at Li Sanniu and noticed his injuries. She rolled her eyes and said to Li Xiangping, "Go to the next village and ask Doctor Zhang to come and check on your third uncle and the others' injuries."
Seeing that they had more people and wouldn't be at a disadvantage, Li Xiangping said "Okay" and prepared to go home to hitch up the oxcart.
Li Sanniu quickly said, "Second Sister-in-law, wait a minute, my injury isn't..."
At this moment, Li Sanniu was quite honest, and Yan Qingqing helplessly gave him a wink.
Seeing this, Li Sanniu knew that Yan Qingqing had something on her mind, so he quickly cried out, "My wound hurts terribly. How about Dr. Zhang from the next village? If not, let's go to the city and find one. I think Dr. Zheng is pretty good. Why don't we ask him?"
After saying that, he covered his head, squatted on the ground, and cried out in pain.
Yan Qingqing watched him act like a drama queen and sighed that Li Sanniu's mother was quite a talent.
However, Li San Niu's actions frightened Xu Shi and Old Master Li. Xu Shi said to Li Xiangping, "Good nephew, please hurry up and run to the county town. Your third uncle must be seriously injured. Don't worry about the money, your third aunt has it here."
After saying that, she quickly pulled out a large handful of copper coins from her pocket. Zhao Yumei, standing to the side, felt even more resentful. Why were all the others living better than her? But no one had the mind to care about her now.
Li Xiangping just saw his mother wink at his third uncle, but his third aunt probably didn't see it because she was in a hurry.
So Li Xiangping suppressed a smile, accepted the copper coins from Xu, and went to the city to fetch a doctor.
Feeling that the matter was resolved and that he was safe, Li Daniu opened the door.
Yan Qingqing despised this kind of man from the bottom of her heart. He was not only selfish and self-serving, but also cowardly and afraid of trouble.
Seeing his own father and brothers shut their doors tightly because of him, it's clear that Li Daniu is truly cold-hearted—no, this kind of person can hardly be called human.
After Li Daniu stepped out of the house, he said aggressively, "You actually dare to come to my house and cause trouble? Do you really think I've been a scholar for so many years for nothing? Look, even the village chief has personally brought people here."
After saying that, he kicked one of the Zhao family members who was tied up tightly, quite forcefully.
The man also looked down on Li Daniu, baring his teeth and making a fierce expression at him. Li Daniu was so frightened that he jumped up immediately, patting his chest and saying in a high-pitched voice, "Oh dear, you scared me to death."
Perhaps because he lacked that thing, Li Daniu's voice was high-pitched and thin. His appearance was so comical that Yan Qingqing found it almost unbearable to watch.
Li Kaishan and his grandfather also felt ashamed, having spent so many years cultivating such a thing.
Grandpa Li called Yan Qingqing over and asked, "What do you think should be done about this?"
Yan Qingqing looked at Grandpa Li with some surprise. Was he asking her to make the decision, or was he just asking for her opinion?
Yan Qingqing said indifferently, "If you want to solve the problem once and for all, then report it to the authorities."
When Mr. Li heard the words "report to the authorities," he fell silent for a moment. As powerless and ordinary people, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant wanted to get involved with the government.
However, for now, Yan Qingqing felt that reporting to the authorities was their only way out, and it all depended on whether Old Master Li had the courage to do so.
In fact, Li Kaishan agreed with Yan Qingqing's idea, but he couldn't say much about it.
Fortunately, after only a short silence, Old Master Li firmly said, "Then report it to the authorities!"
Now, Old Mrs. Zhao and the people tied up on the ground panicked. They couldn't report it to the authorities.
Grandma Zhao walked up to Grandpa Li and whispered, "My dear in-law, we can talk things over. It's not worth reporting to the authorities."
Before Old Master Li could speak, Old Madam Li's voice rang out: "Your daughter injured my son's manhood, and you brought people to our door to beat up my old man and my children and grandchildren. Why isn't it worth reporting to the authorities?"
As soon as Old Mrs. Zhao saw Old Mrs. Li, she said, "Li Cuihua, you shameless woman, don't you want your family anymore? Don't forget that you don't have any brothers. If you go against me, you'll have no family left. Let's see what happens after you die."
What did you say when you proposed to my daughter? You said you would treat her well and not let her suffer any grievances. I only agreed because Li Daniu passed the imperial examination.
But look at the mess this good-for-nothing has made! One minute he's a whore from a brothel, the next he's a dead woman…”
Grandma Zhao vented her anger, but she didn't see her son on the ground frantically giving her meaningful glances.
Finally, she had no choice but to shout, "Mother, please stop! They've already reported it to the authorities. I don't want to go to jail!"
The others lying on the ground were also shouting that they didn't want to go to jail. Seeing that she couldn't stop them, Old Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to stubbornly say, "Go ahead and report it to the authorities. They also injured our people."
Yan Qingqing sneered. This old lady Zhao really knows how to jump into a fire pit.
