"Village chief, and that Zhou Xiaogua..."
"No...it's not...from Zhou Tianli's family!"
"Here's what happened: today... my son got beaten up by your son, Zhou Xiaohai, in the field... I... that's why I came to your house to ask about this... how to handle it..."
Perhaps she viewed Lin Xue as a prostitute deep down, which is why she stuttered so much when she spoke.
He spoke haltingly and with great difficulty, managing to express his purpose clearly, leaving those around him struggling to understand.
"My Xiaohai hit your son? My Xiaohai has always been sensible, why would he hit your son?"
“Someone go and call my children back from the fields. If my children suffer even the slightest injustice, I will storm your door, tear down your house, steal your grain, and seize your land…”
Lin Xue spoke eloquently, making those around her tremble with fear.
"Someone go and properly invite the Zhou family children back. If you dare to neglect them, and if the Zhou family does anything, this old man certainly won't be able to handle it..."
What good is a village head?
Even the village chief was afraid of being beaten.
Moreover, once the village chief realized that Lin Xue was really going to beat him to a pulp, he dared not continue to act recklessly.
He didn't think his old bones were harder than that big rock.
"I'll go!"
Someone shouted from the back of the crowd, and then there was no more sound.
Lin Xue knew that someone had gone to the field to call her child.
She didn't ask any further questions, but simply stood in the middle of the room and waited quietly.
Lin Xue didn't speak, and no one dared to leave easily. They could only stand there and see how to resolve the situation.
To put it bluntly, these are all bullies who prey on the weak. When they learned that Lin Xue was an even tougher nut to crack than they were, they naturally dared not harbor any more ill intentions.
Otherwise, even without the original owner of the Zhou family, their destruction and death would have been inevitable sooner or later.
"Sister-in-law, what happened at your house? Why is everyone in the village gathered here?"
Upon hearing that something had happened at home, the children rushed back immediately.
"It's nothing serious. This auntie named Wang Cuihua said you hit her child. Is that true?"
Lin Xue was relieved to see that her child had returned safely and had not been bullied by the villagers.
Otherwise, anyone who harms her child will be retaliated against a hundredfold.
"Sister-in-law, it's Little Dog Egg! He stole our corn. Our corn hasn't even grown any kernels yet, and he's already broken off several. We were just trying to stop him, so we pushed him a few times. No one was hurt!"
When Zhou Xiaocang heard his sister-in-law ask about it, he understood why these people had come to his house!
This is just a little quarrel between children, why did the whole village come to beat us up?
He saw a broken broom head on the ditch not far away, and then looked at the half bamboo stick in Lin Xue's hand. What else could he not understand?
However, judging from the way the sister-in-law looked, she didn't seem to have suffered any real loss. But the villagers didn't fare so well; her face and exposed arms were covered in tiny, broken wounds.
I never expected his sister-in-law to be so fierce and ruthless when she hits people.
So, it seems that when my sister-in-law scolded and beat them before, she was holding back. They had misunderstood her!
Regardless of what the children were thinking, once Lin Xue learned the whole story, she turned her attention to Wang Cuihua.
"You've heard everything clearly, right? Now I'm giving you two choices!"
Lin Xue looked at Wang Cuihua, who was shrinking back in fear. Was this the same shrew who had come to her door with foul language before?
"You...you said..."
Perhaps she was genuinely terrified, because Wang Cuihua stammered throughout her speech, seemingly aware that she was in the wrong and that even a beating would be the least of her worries.
Thinking of Lin Xue's ruthless beating, Wang Cuihua wanted to slap herself twice. How could she have thought of going to provoke such a ruthless person?
"Option 1: You give our family 20 eggs to compensate for the corn cobs we lost!"
"Option Two: I'll storm your house, demolish it, steal your grain, and seize your land. Then I'll break the legs of everyone in your family, young and old, and throw them into the mountains behind your house!"
Lin Xue's vicious threat was seen as that of a bandit and a tyrant by the villagers, but by the Zhou family children, it was that of a peerless hero.
It was so satisfying! They had been looked down upon by the villagers since they were children, and they were always very low-key and submissive in front of the villagers.
They only dared to let loose a little when their eldest brother was around; otherwise, they really kept a low profile.
They originally thought that with their elder brother gone, they would have to keep a low profile to avoid offending the villagers and being targeted by them.
But who would have thought that their sister-in-law would be so fierce!
The first point is quite reasonable; since their corn cobs were damaged, they should naturally compensate for it.
But option two is truly devastating, as it involves killing someone in front of the entire village and seizing their property. This is really putting evil in the open.
However, looking at their vicious sister-in-law, Zhou Xiaocang and his younger siblings felt that their sister-in-law was radiating a golden light.
It was as if a god had descended to earth to save the Zhou family.
Lin Xue's eyes caught sight of several children staring intently at her with eyes full of admiration.
Forehead……
What a bunch of greenhorns who've never seen the world!
Lin Xue thought to herself with immense pride.
"We choose option one, and I'll go home and get you the eggs right now!"
When she heard the first clause, Wang Cuihua felt that the compensation was a bit too much.
Besides, they got a good beating from Lin Xue, which should at least make up for the crime of breaking his family's corn.
But when she heard Lin Xue's second option, she immediately felt that the first option was simply the reincarnation of Buddha, extremely benevolent.
He tossed out a message that he was going home to get some eggs, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few seconds, as if he had greased his feet.
Seeing that the matter was resolved so easily, and looking at the extremely vicious Lin Xue, the villagers knew that they had been beaten for nothing and had no choice but to accept it.
"Now that things have been resolved, everyone can disperse!"
"Zhou family, in the future, if you have any problems, you should consult with the elders in the village more often. Don't be so impulsive. You must trust that I, as the village chief, will be fair and just and will definitely help you resolve the issue!"
Having suffered such a huge loss today, the village chief still wanted to say a few words before leaving, to try and make amends.
If something happens again, it would be good if the village could handle it. Otherwise, if someone is beaten to death, they won't be able to do anything about this young lady from the Zhou family.
