The village chief watched as Da Wa became more and more successful, and snorted when he thought about the future.
I only heard him say: "Huh, a grown-up is not as sensible as a child of a few years old."
After the village chief said this, the onlookers in the yard were waiting for Xia Manni to refute.
Who knew she was just smiling? Is this still the Xia Manni who chopped people?
At this time, the village chief finally felt proud and said, "Okay, I'll give your family the time until tomorrow noon."
Noon is not a good time, and Xia Manni naturally disagreed. After a stalemate, the time was finally moved to the evening.
It was a little dark in the evening, but fortunately the weather was not that hot at that time.
When the villagers saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they gradually dispersed.
After saying hello to Aunt Qiao and the others, Xia Manni took her four children home.
On the way home, the children seemed to be in a bad mood, and each of them looked like wilted herbs.
Even Sanwa, the chatterbox, didn't say much along the way.
When they got home, Xia Manni called her four children over.
"What's wrong with you four? Are you unhappy about something?"
All four children shook their heads.
"Erwa, you say."
The eldest child is older now and has his own little thoughts.
Although Sanwa likes to express himself, he is still young and his understanding of some things is not comprehensive.
Si Ni'er would rather not speak than speak.
Only by asking Erwa can you get his true thoughts.
"Mom, why do I feel like the village chief is bullying us?"
"Well, Erwa, you're right. Go on."
"If we beat him up, wouldn't that make him more convinced?"
Xia Manni looked at Da Wa, San Wa and Sinier, and saw that they all had expressions of agreement.
Then she understood.
Xia Manni asked the four children to sit down. She said, "What would have happened if we had really beaten the village chief just now?"
Erwa said excitedly, "Then I will definitely feel relieved."
"What happens after the fight?"
Xia Manni then asked, if she just wanted to vent her emotions, she also wanted to beat the village chief.
But in this era, she was a widow with four underage children, and people around her laughed at her more than helped her.
If she had made a big fuss just now, she would have beaten the village chief.
It is highly likely that the people in the village will not side with their family. After all, the village chief is hypocritical and good at using power. Such a person will not solve the problem by directly confronting the conflict.
If you really want to gain a foothold here, you can only strengthen yourself.
The children fell silent. Then the eldest child spoke up, "After beating the village chief, we can't irrigate. The villagers will probably accuse us of being unreasonable."
"What if we can't irrigate? What if people think our family is unreasonable?"
Xia Manni's question made the children feel uncomfortable.
It’s not that I felt her tone was aggressive, but more that I felt uncomfortable just thinking about that scene.
"Mom, this Sanwa knows. Without irrigation, the crops will die of thirst."
"Mom, Erwa, other people think we are unreasonable and won't play with our family."
Erwa felt this deeply. When his grandmother was around, the children in the village ignored him.
Later, his mother killed a wild boar, and the children lined up to play with him.
Xia Manni nodded and continued, "You're all right. People with bad intentions want to see this happen. Can we fall for this trick?"
Erwa puffed out his chest and said, "No."
"Do you know how to solve this problem? Our family can't keep being bullied."
Da Wa's eyes lit up as he said, "Mom, when I pass the imperial examination, the village chief will definitely not make things difficult for our family anymore."
Erwa patted his chest and said, "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to learn peerless martial arts. I'm going to be invincible in the world and see who dares to bully us."
Sanwa put his hands behind his back and said like a little adult, "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to make a lot of money and then I'll take our family away from here."
Si Nier hugged Xia Maner and said, "Mom, I want to learn poison."
Xia Manni: “…”
The eldest child covered his face, the second child twitched his mouth, and the third child gave a thumbs up.
"Okay, if you all have ideas, I'll definitely support them. But you must be careful not to cause any deaths or give others any handles."
She didn't dare to directly reject Si Ni'er. After all, this child's way of thinking was somewhat different from the other three children.
"You know our family's situation. We can barely make ends meet. But if we don't want to be bullied by others, we have to strengthen ourselves. My mother is also very angry and wants to kill the village chief. But that would mean she would fall into his trap."
She looked at the four children and continued, "Today, I will teach you what a hypocrite is. He doesn't appear to be a bad person on the surface, but behind the scenes he does evil things."
"In this matter, the village chief said that he forgot to inform our family. Does that mean he is not at fault?"
The four children nodded.
"You don't have to feel aggrieved. There are actually many people like this in the world. You have to learn to identify them and be careful and cautious. If you are powerful, these villains will stay away from you."
"If we don't want to interact with the people in the village anymore, and we don't want to live here anymore, I can chop him down today. But we don't have the strength to do that right now, so I have to teach you something."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Da Wa was very interested in what Xia Manni said. After listening to it, he felt like he had suddenly understood something.
"That means it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
"Mom, don't worry. My brothers and sisters and I will definitely make our Xia family proud."
Xia Manni looked at Da Wa's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh earnestly: "Haha, that's great, Mom is waiting for you to be proud of yourself."
Erwa scratched his head and said, "Mom, then I'll wait until I can beat the village chief later."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
So the discussion about beating the village chief ended just like that.
In fact, Xia Manni didn’t really want to tell these things to the children, which is why she didn’t ask the children to come over at first.
After all, she only realized the complexity of human nature when she grew up.
However, in such a family environment and in such an era, ordinary people must have a strong heart if they want to live a good life.
Thinking about my previous idea of lying down, I couldn't help but find it funny.
"Okay, that's all for today's lesson. Who's cooking today?"
"Mom, it's my turn." Erwa raised his hands high.
"Okay, you cook well today, and in the evening we'll go to the fields and dig ditches together."
"Don't worry, Mom, I have help."
Xia Manni thought of the previous harvest and couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
Erwa's appeal is the best among all the kids in the village.
