Chapter 22 The Ye Family Establishes Its Authority
"My family killed the wolf, why are you taking advantage of it for free? Those of you who just pointed your finger at me and cursed me, how dare you eat my wolf meat?"
Ye Buwei pulled her sleeve, "Qiuyue..."
Luo Qiuyue said, "I know you told me to let it go, but they don't deserve it! Before you went down the mountain, they spread rumors that over a hundred people had died, and a group of people surrounded me and cursed me! They said that the Ye family caused their deaths and wanted me to pay for them! They said that if the Ye family hadn't proposed digging the canal, no one would have gone up the mountain! Just imagine if you and Ah Ping hadn't brought those people back today, what would have happened to our Ye family?"
Ye Buwei's expression turned stern. "In that case, Qiuyue, I'll listen to you!"
So everyone watched as the three sons of the Ye family carried the wolf away.
“No, no…”
How long has it been since they last tasted meat? The meat that was about to be in their mouths flew away without them being able to even say a word of objection. Isn’t that infuriating?
"Which idiot said that? Digging the canal was something we all agreed on. How can we blame the Ye family if something went wrong?"
"Yeah, Yan Ping's mother, those are just a bunch of brainless people, don't be angry!"
Luo Qiuyue snorted, "When they besieged me before, why didn't you say a word of justice? And now your muteness has suddenly been cured?"
Those people were speechless.
The little dumpling opened his little mouth and yawned, then pushed Ye Buwei's hand, "Brain!"
Teach them a lesson! Let them bully grandma!
Ye Buwei covered his lips and coughed softly, "I did learn martial arts for a few days when I was young, but I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that I was injured back then and can't practice martial arts for the rest of my life. In the desperate situation today, I fought hard to protect everyone, and I've already suffered serious internal injuries!"
As he spoke, he covered his chest and coughed continuously, feeling like his lungs were about to be coughed out.
"Dad Yanping, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?" the village head asked anxiously.
"Fellow villagers...it's good that everything is alright..."
After Ye Buwei said this, his body tilted and he fell straight down...
The little kid in my arms burst into tears.
Everyone was shocked and rushed over to help the man up.
This is a hero who saved more than ten lives!
Heroes are also human beings. They risked their lives to save everyone!
Life is really not easy for the Ye family!
"Dad, are you okay? Don't scare me, Dad!"
Ye Yanping cried. How come he didn’t notice that his father was injured along the way?
Luo Qiuyue cried heartbrokenly, "Old Ye, why are you so stupid? Why did you risk your life to save them? They are a bunch of heartless jackals, they are not worth it!"
"We have a conscience!"
"We will remember Yan Ping's father's life-saving grace for the rest of our lives!"
Those who were rescued were anxious.
"I don't believe it!" Luo Qiuyue cried in a long voice, "You say that only because you are unharmed! If you lose even a piece of skin or a hair, you will blame the Ye family for not protecting you well enough!"
Thinking of how he had been misunderstood more than once on the mountain today, Ye Yanping's chest heaved with anger. "Village head, my family will not be participating in digging the canal tomorrow. Today, we're giving away four laborers to the village for free! Whether there are wolves or tigers on the mountain tomorrow, it has nothing to do with the Ye family! We promise not to use a single drop of the water from the canal!"
After saying that, he carried Ye Buwei on his back and left.
The head of the village opened his mouth, pointed at the people in the threshing ground, and trembled with anger!
"Look at you, what kind of people are you! Can you blame the Ye family for being angry? You are so hurtful! We dug the canal to save the whole village, and no one wants to see any accidents happen along the way!
You're putting all the blame on the Ye family without a care in the world. Aren't you forcing them to die? The key is that the Ye family doesn't have to rely on digging canals to survive, so why should they suffer such injustice?!"
The headman became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his heart was broken.
Today, let him see one thing clearly: the villagers of Heihe Village are too disunited and too irresponsible!
"A bunch of short-sighted, selfish, ungrateful people!"
The village head used every idiom he knew. "I've been a village head for over thirty years, and today you almost forced me to slit my throat! I have a record of everyone who said something they shouldn't have said today, and I'm going to settle accounts with you all one by one!"
The village head was so angry that he rolled his eyes to the sky!
"Village head, are we still going to dig the canal tomorrow?" someone asked timidly.
"What do you think?" the village head's face turned pale.
"Of course we have to dig! There's such a good source of water up there. If we divert it down, all the fields in the village will be saved!"
"Yes! We've only dug for half a day today. If we persevere for one more day tomorrow, we'll have water flowing!"
"Do you think I don't want to dig?" the village head said angrily, "But now without the Ye family's protection, who among you dares to go up the mountain?!"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
There are so many wolves today that it really scare people.
With the Ye family following them, they might barely dare to go up the mountain tomorrow, but if the Ye family didn't go, they would definitely not dare to set foot there.
"Let's go apologize to the Ye family!" someone whispered.
"Yes, everyone owes the Ye family an apology!"
…
Led by the village head, everyone came to the door of the Ye family.
"Mother Yan Ping, we have something to tell you."
"Mother Yan Ping, how is your husband? I have some medicinal herbs here, you can give them to him."
Luo Qiuyue responded coldly from inside: "No need, you guys go!"
"Mother Yan Ping, we were wrong. We shouldn't have said those hurtful words to you!"
"We understand now. Your family was helping everyone out of kindness, and it's us who are such assholes!"
"Yan Ping's mother, come out and slap me a few times, as long as you feel relieved!"
…
Luo Qiuyue said: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You are talking better than singing now. Aren't you thinking of digging a canal tomorrow and want my family to lead the way?
When you need my family, you beg for it, but when something goes wrong, my family should take the blame? How can you two be so shameless? "
The little girl nestled in Luo Qiuyue's arms, "Anai, great!"
Yesterday you ignored me, today I will make you feel out of reach! Now I have to take a high-profile approach and teach those people a profound lesson!
Everyone said all the nice things they could, but Luo Qiuyue was determined not to open the door.
"I'm deeply hurt by you!"
The village head glared at everyone with a look of frustration. "You've done more harm than good! It looks like the canal won't be dug. Such a great thing, but you ruined it all! Get ready to flee. Good luck everyone!"
On the second day, Ye Yanping went into the mountains to fetch water, followed by a long line of men carrying buckets of water.
They wanted to follow Ye Yanping into the mountains, but they didn't expect that Ye Yanping would be so fast. He was clearly walking in front, but he disappeared in a flash. When they hurried to the mountainside, Ye Yanping had already come down the mountain with a full load of water.
Looking at the deep and terrifying dense forest ahead, the men thought again and again, and finally went down the mountain dejectedly carrying empty buckets.
This made the whole village understand a truth.
There was a way to survive before, but because he offended the Ye family, the way was blocked.
If you want to survive, you must seek forgiveness from the Ye family.
"Bang bang bang", the gong in the village was struck again.
"Those who have said wrong things to the Ye family, you must go to the Ye family's gate and apologize! Otherwise, get out of Heihe Village immediately!"
