Soon a villager ran in from outside with a panicked look on his face.
Yu Qingshu quickly stood up and ran to the villager, grabbed his arm and asked anxiously:
"What happened, Brother Jiang? Tell me quickly and have a drink of water."
Yu Qingshu picked up the water on the table and gave a sip to villager Jiang Huai.
After taking a sip of water, my throat, which felt like it was about to smoke, instantly felt much better.
Jiang Huai lives not far from Yu Qingshu and his family's home, and usually gets along very well with Yu Qingshu and his family.
Everyone looked at Jiang Huai curiously, waiting for him to tell them what happened.
After Jiang Huai calmed down, he said anxiously: "Oh, Village Chief Liu asked me to call you over.
Goudan's mother was holding Goudan and throwing a tantrum at Village Chief Liu's house, saying, "I won't leave."
She told Village Chief Liu that your family beat her and is demanding compensation. Her husband hasn't come back yet, and Village Chief Liu said he wants you to go over and find out what happened.
While Jiang Huai was speaking, he also glanced at Yuan Xichen and found that he had an extraordinary temperament.
After hearing this, Yu Qingshu also knew what was going on. He didn't expect that this woman would be so difficult to deal with.
Since the matter has been brought to the attention of Village Chief Liu, it naturally needs to be resolved.
Yu Qingshu immediately expressed his gratitude to Jiang Huai, then turned to Yuan Xichen and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, I'll go take care of something.
How about I go get my father-in-law to chat with you for a while? I'll excuse myself now, as I still need to go for this matter."
Yu Qingshu felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't nice to have others wait for him. It was even worse to have his daughter alone with a man, so he suggested asking his father-in-law to come over.
In just a few moments, Yuan Xichen learned from the conversation that something must have happened. Since he had come across it, there was no reason for him to ignore it.
He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, "Since something has happened, I'll go along and take a look.
If you need any help, Uncle Yu, please don't hesitate to help. Let's go over and take a look. Let's go!"
"Oh, this..." Yu Qingshu's face flushed, feeling that he was causing too much trouble for others. Before he could say anything, Yuan Xichen had already walked out the door.
He had no choice but to follow and take a look first.
Yu Qingqing followed closely behind, she felt that it was best to have someone to help.
Then several people rushed to the home of Village Chief Liu, but at this time the home of Village Chief Liu was also noisy.
"I don't care. Since she hit my daughter, I want her to compensate me. She took advantage of my son-in-law's absence to bully them, an orphan and a widow.
Since when has your village allowed a refugee to do whatever he wants?
"Village Chief Liu, please don't favor those who have fled famine just because their families have given you a little benefit. If you don't help people from your own village, you will be laughed at."
The person who spoke was Goudan's mother, Linzhi. Because Goudan's mother hadn't gotten any benefits from Yu Qingqing this time, she had specially returned to her parents' home.
Goudan's mother has five brothers. When they heard that their sister was bullied, they rushed over with their mother.
Village Chief Liu was in a dilemma as he looked at the people before him. They had even brought their brothers from their mother's side with them, so he couldn't act rashly.
So someone was specially asked to call Yu Qingshu and others over, but the person who delivered the message did not know the specific situation, and naturally did not mention that Goudan's mother's family members also came with them.
Village Chief Liu stood there, bewildered. He didn't want to offend either side, "I'm talking to Goudan's mother, you really misunderstood.
That's not the case, and I don't know what Goudan's mother told you. Both parties are wrong in this matter. Please listen to me first."
When Lin Zhi heard that Village Chief Liu was still trying to explain for others, she became furious and said, "Shut up, what can you say?
It's nothing more than defending that family. Anyway, my daughter was beaten, and this matter cannot be resolved without fifty taels of silver.
You don't need to say so much, just wait for that family to come and compensate you. I heard that this family has businesses in town, and fifty taels of silver is not difficult for them. "
Lin Zhi heard that the Yu family had a business in town, and since her daughter had just been beaten, she felt that this was her chance. She had to take advantage of this opportunity to extort a large sum of money.
Her purpose was to get money, and she didn't really care about her daughter's grievances.
Goudan's mother has a very low status in the family. People usually call her Daya. Because her parents favor boys over girls, she doesn't even have a decent name.
Whenever Daya's mother Linzhi knew that her daughter had something delicious or money, she would basically ask her to give it to her.
Of course, Daya is used to this kind of pattern.
There are also several brothers in the family who are sincere to her, but when it comes to money, money naturally comes first.
Village Chief Liu felt very embarrassed. Why did he keep talking more and more? And the situation was not like this. He tried to persuade her again: "Daya's mother, please don't say that.
This incident happened because Daya hit someone else's child, so they came to our house. Both parties are responsible for this matter, so you can't be so unreasonable."
When Village Chief Liu heard the fifty taels of silver, he was also shocked.
Life is not easy for anyone, so how can you ask for fifty taels of silver right away?
Lin Zhi would not listen to what Village Chief Liu said. She insisted, "My daughter was bullied and that's not okay. She must pay compensation.
As for my daughter hitting someone else, it must be because someone else provoked her, so we won’t care about it.
Did you ask someone to call them over? If not, I'll just take them over directly. I'm telling you, as a village chief, you can't help outsiders."
Lin Zhi's shameless remarks also completely shocked Village Chief Liu.
What is she saying? Others deserve to be beaten, and it is wrong for others to beat her.
Village Chief Liu was so angry at her words that he glared at her and said cruelly: "You better have some dignity. What a ridiculous statement you made.
They will be here soon, so please don't say anything nonsense then. Otherwise, I will not be in charge of this matter anymore."
Village chief Liu was really tortured by the other man's wife and was almost losing his temper.
A lot of people soon gathered at the door of Village Chief Liu, and everyone was eating melons.
When Lin Zhi heard Village Chief Liu say this about her, she couldn't help but retort, "Humph! I don't care. The Yu family has plenty of money and won't care about it."
Yu Qingshu and his companions had just squeezed through the crowd and struggled to get in. After hearing what Lin Zhi said, he was so angry that he started cursing, "Scoundrel! My Yu family is not to be bullied."
