"That's because my father and brother didn't go. If they had gone, they definitely could have helped too," Zhang Chunhua said, her voice clearly lacking confidence.
Her father was lazy and greedy, and no one in the village dared to claim to be second to none. It's not a question of whether her father would rush to help in a crisis, but rather that he would never even leave the house!
As for her younger brother, she looked at the frail Zhang Xiaogou beside her, whom even she couldn't pull away. What use would it be if he went? He might even delay people from protecting him.
Sun Jinhua also had her own explanation: "What could my husband, Erzhu, and Sanzhu do? Everyone else had knives, but the three of them didn't. If they rushed in, they would just be throwing their lives away."
"Life is precious, what more could you possibly ask for?"
"Bullshit! Uncle Ding and Brother Jin didn't even arrive. They just grabbed bags of lime and rushed up. Aren't their lives precious?"
"If you're afraid of death, just say so. Don't sound all wronged! And don't make a bunch of demands after you haven't helped at all."
"Why don't you mention that Feng Da was injured? Why don't you talk about Feng Er's fearless and valiant fighting with a full warehouse full of supplies? You're only focusing on those outsiders. What, is that all you see?"
"Let me tell you, I agree that all twenty-three of them should attend the village banquet. No, they are part of our Shanshui Village! If you two are not happy, I also agree that you should not attend! We will not force you to eat or not."
"Yes, it's okay if you don't eat, no one will care!"
These normally taciturn men became furious and spoke without any restraint.
He glared at the two of them, his face flushed, forcing them to unconsciously take a few steps back.
Fan Qian had been listening the whole time. Now he came up and scolded Sun Jinhua: "You ill-mannered woman, what are you doing making such a fuss? Get back to work!"
If I see you causing trouble again, watch out, I'll beat you to death when I get home!
Sun Jinhua pursed her lips, looking resentful. Thinking of today's meal, she sat down again to wash the dishes with a dark face, still holding her anger.
Zhang Chunhua also sat down at Zhang Xiaogou's urging.
After the farce ended, Fan Qian approached Wang Guifen with a grin, patting his chest and promising, "Changlin's mother, my wife was wrong this time, so please don't hold it against her. If she causes trouble again, just tell me, and I'll deal with her when I get back!"
Wang Guifen snorted coldly and bluntly pointed out: "Don't come here. You don't know if I'm right or not."
I'm asking you, why didn't you intervene when you heard everything? It's simply because you agreed with what your partner said, and you only came out to intervene after hearing the men trying to kick you out!
Fan looked embarrassed.
Wang Guifen didn't want to waste time listening to Fan Qian's explanation, so she flicked her sleeves and walked towards Li Dani and her group.
Her father said that the village feast was a lively event attended by the whole village, but she felt that these two families were like rat droppings in a pot of porridge, always disgusting people.
The initial shame and indignation of Li Dani and the others vanished, replaced by a deep sense of gratitude.
Even the men who were not usually good with words spoke up for them; the villagers were so kind to them!
They looked at Wang Guifen as she approached, knowing that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the old village chief and the person in charge of organizing the village banquet, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Wang Guifen changed her previous assertive attitude and apologized with a smile: "No, this trouble has nothing to do with you. If anything, it's our fault for not handling it well and causing you to suffer."
