Chapter 189 Others Do Others
The chief of Majia Village finally arrived at the battlefield.
When Village Chief Ma arrived, he glanced at Old Lady Ma and cursed inwardly, "Stupid! You can't even handle a small matter." As the saying goes, if you catch someone, you take their dirty laundry; if you catch an adulterer, you take both. This guy clearly wasn't in the mood for that, and yet she was forcing herself on him?
At the same time, he cursed in his heart. The noble man had clearly told him to just cooperate when necessary, so how did he become the main force? He really didn't want to get involved in this mess!
Old Mrs. Ma was really wronged. After Meng Yun came home, she tried twice. She put medicine in the tea, but he didn't drink it. She put it in the food, but he didn't eat it. She failed twice in a row. Can she be blamed?
Meng Yun: ...No matter how hard I tried to defend myself, I couldn't stop you from coming at me!
Village Chief Ma first took a look at Lü Songli's group, wondering what kind of group this was. Those shackled men, those in police uniforms—could they be escorting fugitives? And those under the guise of an escort agency? Those men at the edge exuded a mix of righteousness and ruthlessness, reminiscent of elite soldiers who'd seen bloodshed. How did all these people come together?
He tried to speak in a dignified tone, "Everyone, this is our Majia Village's internal affairs. It's not okay for you outsiders to interfere, right?"
Xue Xu said slowly, "When we see injustice, we naturally have to draw our swords to help. I believe they are innocent. Are we going to watch you take their lives so lightly?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Ma glared at Old Lady Ma again. This old woman was too rough in her work.
"Isn't he still alive? Since he stole the wife of our Ma Village, he should give an explanation, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it make our Ma Village seem easy to bully?"
"My cousin and I are innocent! I can die to prove my guilt!"
When Qi Zhenniang shouted this, everyone else fell silent.
Old Mrs. Ma was stunned at first, then she was ecstatic, "Then just go and die! Don't just talk about it!" After Qi Zhenniang died, she would let Meng Yun pay with his life, and everything would be done.
"If my death can prove my innocence..." Qi Zhenniang crawled up from the ground. She really didn't want to live anymore. If her death could save her cousin's life, then she would die.
Xue Xu quickly stopped her and said, "Qi Zhenniang, don't rush to die. Even if you die, they won't let your cousin go."
Some of the people in Majia Village swallowed their saliva. They were confused. Could they have really misunderstood? Were Qi Zhenniang and her cousin truly innocent? Then why did Old Lady Ma insist that she saw them having sex?
"Village Chief, I think since it has come to this, and the beating has already happened, let's just forget about it. At most, I can ask cousin Qi to pay some compensation."
"Yeah, you can't really take someone's life, right?"
"Old Ma is shouting and threatening people, that's too much."
Old Ma said angrily, "No, this adulterous couple must be thrown into the pig cage, otherwise where will our Ma family's reputation be?"
Zhu Dazhuang, who was called by Hu Guangcong to restrain Ma Zhongping, couldn't help it and slapped her on the back with his big hand. "Die, die, die, die your mother! To be honest, I have tolerated you for a long time. He is innocent, why do you want to put him in a pig cage? You just talk back and say that he is not innocent and want to kill him? Who do you think you are? Fuck!"
“Ah ...
The slap sent Old Lady Ma rushing forward four or five steps, howling like a pig being slaughtered. In the end, it was thanks to her daughter-in-law who helped her that she didn't fall flat on her face. But even this one slap was enough for her to bear.
Cool! So satisfying!
The people on Lu Songli's side were trying to hold back their laughter; they could hardly contain themselves.
Old Ma, who rarely went out to the fields, was hit hard by Zhu Dazhuang's palm. She kept howling, "Damn it! I was beaten by a stranger. Village chief, you have to seek justice for me!"
Before Village Chief Ma could say anything, Zhu Dazhuang shouted, "Alright, stop yelling! Even pigs can yell louder than you!"
When Zhu Dazhuang shouted, Old Lady Ma was like a chicken with its neck pinched, and her howling stopped abruptly.
Bully the weak and fear the strong, definitely bully the weak and fear the strong!
His brothers looked at him with admiration, worthy of being Brother Zhu, who had thirty years of experience in slaughtering pigs.
Xue Xu said to Qi Zhenniang, "Did you hear or see this? Your mother-in-law wants to kill you and your cousin. Even if you die, she won't let your cousin go. Don't you want a divorce? We'll help you. You don't have to die. We'll save your cousin, too."
Qi Zhenniang asked excitedly, "Really? Can you really save my cousin and help me get a divorce?"
Village Chief Ma quickly stopped him, "Brother, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage."
Village Chief Ma also realized at this moment that these people were stubborn and meddled in other people's affairs so thoroughly. He had no idea that they were not meddling in other people's affairs, but were the Tai Sui who had been disturbed by them and were meddling in their own affairs!
When Old Mrs. Ma saw this scene, she felt extremely regretful. She shouldn't have withheld half of the Wu Shi San given by the nobleman. She should have given it all to her eldest son, and the matter would have been accomplished long ago.
"Village Chief Ma, please think carefully. Qi Zhenniang and Ma Zhongping are in such a state, and you won't let them divorce? Their daughter married into your Ma Village, not sold to you. Or is it that your Ma Village has only ever had widows, not divorces?"
"nonsense!"
That last sentence was so vicious! If this got out, who would dare to marry into their Ma Village?!
Xue Xu: "Village Chief Ma, let's do this. Report directly to the police and ask the female coroner to examine Qi Zhenniang. If it is proven that she and her cousin are not in trouble, then you should not hinder her divorce. If they really are having an affair, then we will sentence them according to the law. How do you think that is?"
Village Chief Ma: I was defeated.
"I won't divorce you, even if I die!" Ma Zhongping, who had regained consciousness, panicked. He didn't understand why things had gotten to this point. They were just arguing. If he had just pleaded with his wife a little more like before, she would have relented. How did it get to the point where they had to go to the authorities? And after going to the authorities, no matter what the outcome, it would be bad.
"Okay, report it to the police, we must report it to the police!"
The person who spoke was Old Lady Ma. She had already realized that she had missed her best opportunity. This group of people was obviously not easy to deal with. According to the original plan, there was no way to deal with them. She could report them to the police and let the noble people deal with them!
Village Chief Ma glanced at her and sighed, "Then report it to the police." He didn't care anyway! As for Majia Village, let it be a disgrace, it was destined to be a disgrace anyway!
After they reported the matter to the authorities, the chief constable came with his officers.
Xue Xu suddenly transformed himself into a lawyer, commonly known as a pen-and-paper clerk.
Lu Songli asked Lu Mingzhi to help him and be the second name on the complaint.
The group marched to the Liucheng County government office. Meng Yun, the suspect, was carried away. When the officials arrived, they brought a court physician with them. The physician examined Meng Yun's pulse and confirmed that he was weak from blood loss, leading to his coma. He would wake up after taking one or two doses of medicine.
The Qin family was a fugitive family, and since they had many children, it was difficult for them to squeeze into the yamen, so they chose a relatively remote alley not far from the yamen to live in.
Qin Sheng looked at Lu Songli eagerly. This was the second major task she had given him. He thought that choosing someone loyal and who wouldn't embezzle the land would be enough. However, he hadn't expected such a big trouble to arise. Speaking of which, why didn't Meng Yun bring someone with him when he went to see his cousin?
Lu Songli said to him, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
She really felt that it wasn't that Qin Sheng was inconsiderate. Everyone had different styles of doing things and considered different factors.
In fact, if Xie Zhan had not interfered, Meng Yun would have been enough to guard the one hundred hectares of land.
When we encounter a problem, we solve it. If we do the same thing ourselves, will there be no unexpected situations? Therefore, while we allow ourselves to be ourselves, we should also allow others to be themselves.
