Wasn't Du Qincai quite arrogant and fond of spewing profanities before? How come he became such a submissive donkey after meeting this woman?!
"Who is that woman?" Rong Sheng asked.
Rong Zheng thought for a moment: "She's from Shanggui Village, she's Miao Hongye, the wife of the village head of Shanggui Village!"
"Miao Hongye and Du Qincai have a grudge. I heard that Du Qincai was previously with Miao Hongye's man, Qi Weiwu, the village head of Shanggui Village. I also heard that Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu are Qi Weiwu's sons, but I don't know if it's true. There have been such rumors in the village since we can remember."
Rong Sheng was startled: "Du Qincai is having an affair, does Gu Changqing know about it?"
"I don't know!" Rong Zheng said, "But before Qi Weiwu got married, he often went to the Gu family to see Du Qincai. He stopped going after Gu Erniu was born because Qi Weiwu had also married Miao Hongye by then!"
Rong Mu sneered: "I think Gu Changqing knows, after all, Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu are nothing like Gu Changqing in terms of character or appearance, but they look exactly like Qi Weiwu! Besides, he has been married to Du Qincai for many years, and if he is not blind, he can tell whether his wife has changed."
Rong Sheng could not deny that any problems between Du Qincai and Gu Changqing, and between Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye, would soon be exposed. She just needed to watch quietly from the sidelines.
If her future husband were here and saw Du Qincai being beaten so badly by Miao Hongye, I wonder if he would be happy or angry.
Standing in the Gu family courtyard, Zuo Li and the village headman heard the commotion outside the gate, and their faces showed deep disgust.
There's a saying that goes, "A turtle and a dog are a match made in heaven!"
Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye are a perfect match.
After hitting Du Qincai, Miao Hongye's anger subsided somewhat, and she then ordered the men she brought to kick open the Gu family's gate.
Bang!!
The door was violently kicked open, and Miao Hongye walked ahead with her head held high, with Qi Weiwu following behind her like a bodyguard.
The people they brought entered the Gu family courtyard one after another.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng tiptoed toward the Gu family, but Rong Hua grabbed her, saying, "Sheng Bao, it's getting dark, we should go home! We shouldn't get involved in the Gu family's affairs! It has nothing to do with our family."
Since the people from Shanggui Village came to Zhonggui Village to cause trouble, the village head couldn't just ignore it. Perhaps the village head had already made plans, since after the old gambler caused trouble at noon, the village head went to the county town to find the county magistrate.
At this point in time, if the magistrate wants to resolve the Gu family's affairs and deal with Gu Sanniu's jinx reputation, he will definitely make careful arrangements and will not let them return to Shanggui Village unscathed.
Rong Sheng: "Big brother, I won't go in to see. I'll just sneak a peek!" He just wanted to know how the county magistrate was helping Gu San Niu get rid of his jinx reputation.
Once she gets rid of her jinxed reputation, she can be with Gu Beiyi openly and honestly.
At least, the tribespeople won't gossip anymore.
Rong Mu: "Shengbao, listen to your brother. This is something we shouldn't get involved in. You saw how many people Miao Hongye brought. They looked so fierce. If you go over there, they'll get angry and beat you up like they beat Du Qincai. Besides, Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye aren't good people. Let's just go home and not watch!"
"Shengbao..." Rong Zheng saw that Rong Sheng really wanted to go see, and wanted to secretly hide on the roof with her to watch, but after receiving threatening looks from his eldest brother and third brother, he swallowed the words he was about to say. He then persuaded Rong Sheng, "Shengbao, your eldest brother and third brother are right. You are a little girl who can't even kill a chicken. If they find you, things will be very troublesome! Your second brother's martial arts are good, but I'm not confident that I can handle them. So, Shengbao, let's go home!"
As they spoke, the brothers lifted Rong Sheng up and forcibly took her home.
Rong Sheng felt helpless, but she didn't make a scene and let her brothers take her home.
Later that night, she would sneak over to check on things.
The moment Qi Weiwu and his men stormed into the Gu family's courtyard, they saw Zuo Li and the village head standing in the center of the courtyard, watching them enter with indifferent expressions.
The moment they saw Zuo Li, Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye's expressions changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly.
At this moment, they wished they could beat Du Qincai to death with sticks. Didn't she know that they were at odds with Magistrate Zuo Li? She actually used this "luring them into a trap" tactic, wasn't she just driving them to their deaths?
So Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye quickly turned around and glared at Du Qincai, who was following behind them. Qi Weiwu gritted his teeth: "If I had known you would invite the magistrate here, I should have beaten you to death just now!"
He felt a pang of guilt, but it was all for naught.
Du Qincai felt wronged and aggrieved. She had no idea that the county magistrate would come to their house. If she had known, she would never have gone to Shanggui Village to ask Qi Weiwu to come and help her deal with the old gambler.
Thinking of this, Du Qincai glared at Gu Changqing, who was standing at the entrance of the main room. She glared at him fiercely. The magistrate had come, but he hadn't even informed her, which led to Qi Weiwu and the others being caught red-handed by the magistrate.
Immediately, Du Qincai thought of the widely circulated rumors, and she suddenly felt uncertain. A strong sense of worry and fear welled up from the bottom of her heart, even more so than when she was facing Miao Hongye.
But now, all she hoped was that the magistrate would just come in for a chat, and not cause them any trouble.
Qi Weiwu and Miao Hongye were local tyrants in Shanggui Village, not because they were capable or arrogant, but because Qi Weiwu's father-in-law, Miao Weifeng, was a notorious bandit in Wenhong County, and their stronghold was located on a hill between Shanggui Village and Miaojia Village.
Miao Hongye's father, like Miao Hongye herself, is a ruthless person. Qi Weiwu used to be so arrogant and willful, always hooking up with Du Qincai, but what happened? He was completely tamed by the father and daughter!
As for the county magistrates, whether it was Zuo Li or the previous magistrate, no one could help but feel a headache upon hearing the name Miao Weifeng.
In recent years, things have calmed down and become less noisy. The bandits in the village have settled down in Shanggui Village or Miao Village, and started families.
However, the previous magistrate had been ordered by the imperial court to have them strangled, but he was strangled instead, so no one dared to provoke them.
Zuo Li? Impossible!
But Miao Weifeng warned them to avoid trouble if possible, and not to be polite if trouble came knocking!
"This humble woman greets Your Excellency the County Magistrate!" Since Miao Weifeng had said this, they would first feign weakness and see what the County Magistrate would say. If the County Magistrate really caused them trouble, then they would be embarrassed.
