Chapter 201 Zheng's Madness
The next morning, before daybreak, there was a knock on the door of Old Mrs. Wan's house.
Along with the knocking on the door, there was a woman's scream.
"You bastards, get up right now. You beat my man half to death, and you can still sleep peacefully without worrying about nightmares? You beat him up, and you instigated the village chief to make our family compensate you for your losses. You are like Zhu Bajie dreaming of marrying a wife - you just want good things. Today, I want to see if you have the guts to take my money. I will fight you, open the door for me."
Zheng held a machete in his hand and slammed the door panels of the Wan family, making them bang loudly. He also used the machete to hack at the door panels, leaving deep marks on the wooden door panels.
The people of the Wan family tossed and turned until midnight yesterday before they finally fell asleep. Not long after they fell asleep, they were awakened by Zheng's shouting. They were all furious, especially the men of the Wan family, who were preparing to go to the fields to work today. The baby, who had hardly cried since birth, was also awakened by the loud noise. He kicked his bare legs, opened his toothless mouth and burst into tears.
Liu felt extremely distressed and quickly took her son into her arms to comfort him. The little guy smelled his mother's scent and gradually calmed down.
Soon the door to the upper room was opened, and Boss Wan ran out angrily.
Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao Er also came out of the house. It was dimly lit and everything was blurry. The only sound was the frantic chopping of the door panels.
"Brother, it seems to be Zheng. Is she crazy? Why is she here so early to cause trouble?"
Wan Laoer rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered towards the door.
However, there were some hardworking people in the village who were already pushing their carts to queue up for water. When they heard the noise at the door of the Wan family, they took a detour to see what was going on.
As a result, when they saw Zheng acting like a madman with a machete in his hand, they did not dare to stay for long and ran away. Zheng was usually difficult to deal with, and now he had a machete in his hand. They were afraid of being implicated, so they ran away quickly. This excitement was not to be watched casually, and it was very likely that someone would die. Some people also hurried to the village chief's house to report the news.
Boss Wan didn't know that Zheng outside was holding a machete, so he went straight over to open the door.
At this time, little Fubao was carried out by Wan Ersao and called out softly, "Uncle, be careful."
Boss Wan's hand, which was about to open the door, paused for a moment. At this moment, the sound outside became more and more urgent, and it seemed that the door might be chopped off.
After hearing what Xiao Fubao said, Boss Wan cautiously leaned over the crack in the door and took a look outside.
Just then, I saw Zheng swinging the machete at the door again.
Boss Wan was terrified. If Xiao Fubao hadn't reminded him, he would have opened the door directly and the other party's machete might have hit him.
After composing himself for a moment, Boss Wan took a few steps back and whispered to his two brothers, "That crazy woman has a machete in her hand and is chopping at the door. So, second and fourth brothers, you two go open the door. When that woman tries hard again, you pull the door open suddenly. Zheng will definitely fall down if she misses. I'll take the opportunity to hold her down while you quickly take the machete from her hand."
Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Si had never thought that the women here were so fierce. When women in their own border areas fought, they would just pull hair and scratch faces. Who would use a knife directly? The two were also shocked.
"Okay, listen to Big Brother. When we say one or two, the door will open. The rest is up to Big Brother."
The three brothers looked at each other. Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Si quietly came behind the door, listened to the sound and prepared to open the door, but the other party stopped at this time.
The people in the Wan family didn't hear any sound, and their hearts were beating fast. Was this woman trying to play some tricks again?
Zheng had been chopping the door outside for a long time and was panting with exhaustion. She didn't see anyone from the Wan family open the door, so she turned to the fence and prepared to chop it.
The people in the yard soon heard the sound coming from outside the fence. The brothers were stunned. Was this madman trying to cut down the fence to get in?
Boss Wan no longer hesitated. As long as he was not at the door, it would be fine. He picked up a hoe leaning against the wall, walked a few steps to the door, and opened it.
The three brothers walked out of the yard carefully and saw Zheng, with disheveled hair and dirty face, chopping at the fence with a knife. She had already cut off several fences, but there were wooden boards blocking the inside, so she couldn't do anything about the fence for a while.
When Zheng heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly turned around and saw the three brothers of the Wan family standing not far away looking at her.
Zheng finally saw her enemy, her eyes flushed, and she swung her machete towards Boss Wan. How could Boss Wan stand there and let him chop her? He blocked it with the hoe in his hand, and Zheng didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. The machete hit the hoe, and sparks burst out, which made Zheng's palm numb, but she still held the machete tightly and didn't let go. This block made Zheng even more angry.
She was like a madman, waving the machete in her hand wildly with her eyes closed. The three brothers of the Wan family were unable to get close to her for a while and could only retreat step by step.
Seeing that this was no solution, Wan Laosi hurried back to the yard and took out a long stick. While Zheng was going crazy, he hit her leg with the long stick. Zheng staggered and knelt on the ground with his upper body lying on the ground. The machete in his hand also fell to the ground.
Wan Laosi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled out his long stick and pushed the machete aside. Wan Laoer took the opportunity to step forward and pick up the machete.
Boss Wan dropped his hoe, walked up to Zheng and pushed her to the ground, pressing her face into the earth.
Just at this time the village chief came.
A group of people followed behind the village chief.
"Zheng, what are you doing?" the village chief shouted. He had just heard from the villagers that Zheng actually used a knife to hack people. This made Jinniu very confused. This couple really knew how to cause trouble for him.
The land was dry, and everyone was busy fetching water from the river ten miles away to irrigate the fields. The couple in their family were quite good, one was a thief, and the other was preparing to be a murderer.
When Jinniu saw that Zheng had been subdued by the Wan brothers, he finally felt relieved.
"Village chief, you are here. Look, Zheng was hacking at my door with a machete early in the morning. Fortunately, my door was replaced with a new one before the New Year. Otherwise, how could it withstand such a hacking?"
When Wan Lao Da saw the village chief coming, he let go of Zheng and stood aside with Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Si.
Zheng got up from the ground. Regardless of whether the village chief was there or not, she was determined to take revenge and pounced on Boss Wan. In an instant, several bloody marks were left on Boss Wan's face.
This was Zheng's last counterattack when everyone was off guard. Boss Wan was furious and kicked Zheng out. Zheng lay on the ground, holding her stomach, hunched over, and crying loudly.
Jinniu looked at Zheng with disgust. This woman would die if she didn't do something one day.
Jinniu was too lazy to care about the Zheng family's mess anymore. He said directly to Elder Wan: "Jingui, you can either expel this family from the village, or go to the county to file a complaint, saying that Jinbao stole and Zheng committed murder. I can testify for you. You can choose."
Taurus really doesn't want to see this family embarrassed again.
Before Boss Wan could say anything, Zheng's stomachache stopped hurting. She got up from the ground and ran to grab Jinniu's arm. Now she was scared and stopped making a fuss.
"Village chief, we are all descendants of the same ancestors. Are you so heartless? Do you have to kill us all? If you drive us out of the village, who in other villages will dare to take us in? If we go to the county to file a complaint, the father and I will go to jail. Who will take care of the child? Aren't you pushing us to death? You might as well just kill us with a knife. I will never leave Shizi Village even if I die."
Jinniu pulled his arm out with all his strength and said coldly, "Okay, since you don't want to take either of these two paths, there is a third path. Your family must immediately compensate the Wan family for their losses. Also, swear in front of the whole village that your family will not make mistakes again, both adults and children. If you make the same mistake again, you will be kicked out of the family tree and driven out of the village. Can you do it?"
Zheng weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded. As long as she could stay in the village, everything would be fine.
The farce ended with Zheng's promise to pay compensation and swear an oath.
The weather is getting drier and drier, and the wind is getting stronger. Tables and chairs that have just been wiped in the morning are often covered with a layer of dust in the evening.
The eldest and second eldest Wan were sighing in worry. Although the crops in their fields were growing better than those of other families, they were also wilting recently.
Old Mrs. Wan put little Fubao on the kang to play while she chatted with her two sons.
"Big brother, second brother, how are the crops in the fields now? I heard from old lady Wang in our village that half of her crops have died."
"Mom, ours isn't much better. There used to be some water at the bottom of the pit, but now it's dry as hell."
After hearing this, Old Lady Wan frowned and whispered, "It would be great if it rained heavily. The crops would be saved."
Little Fubao was holding a little rabbit. Upon hearing this, he climbed onto Grandma Wan's legs and reached out to touch her brow.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Do you want it to rain? It will be fine in the evening. Don't be sad. You will die if you are sad."
Grandma Wan knew that Xiao Fubao had special abilities, but how could she make the wind and rain appear just by saying so? However, in order not to upset her granddaughter, she forced a smile and said, "Oh, our Xiao Fubao is the god of rain, and can make it rain. Grandma, you're just waiting for it, right?"
Little Fubao nodded seriously, and only when she saw Old Lady Wan smile did she climb down from her legs.
