"Brother, go to the team and borrow a donkey cart right now. Tell them that A-Jun has fallen and hurt himself and needs to go to the county clinic for treatment."
Wang Yanli, acting like the head of the household, began directing Old Wang's family:
“Sister-in-law, go to the village chief’s house and call him over to uphold justice.”
“The three of you,” she turned to Lin Mo, Miao Qingsong, and Awang, speaking to them in a condescending and imperious manner.
"Don't even think about leaving!!!"
"When the village chief arrives, I'll go find your parents and ask them how they raised you!"
After being yelled at by Wang Yanli, who was like a shrew, even if he had any confidence, it was all gone.
When Miao Qingsong heard that his parents would also be alerted, he burst into tears on the spot.
"Waaah, Auntie..." Miao Qingsong wiped away her frightened tears and immediately gave in:
"Don't tell our parents. We'll take responsibility for the trouble we caused ourselves."
As he spoke, his hands trembled as he took down his basket and scooped out handfuls of the thirty-odd bird eggs inside:
"This is something we worked hard to get all morning, can we just consider it a loss? Waaah."
Looking at his cowardly appearance, Lin Mo felt a wave of helpless complaints in his heart. This was just too timid.
Just a few words and you're this scared.
"You two are cousins, Qingsong is being kind by taking you in..."
"Who told him to be kind enough to bring it along! Huh? Being kind enough to bring it along means it falls off a tree, right?!"
Lin Mo was about to say a few words on Miao Qingsong's behalf from the perspective of relatives, but he still underestimated the fighting power of the village shrew.
Before he could finish a sentence, he was shut down by a shout.
I thought relatives were really close, but it turns out they show their true colors when something happens. Tsk tsk tsk.
Awang was also afraid of causing trouble for his parents, and he was so frightened that his eyes welled up with tears.
He obediently put down his basket and presented the bird eggs he had painstakingly collected from the trees that morning.
"Don't disturb my parents..."
Wang Yanli looked at the bird eggs and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many! There are seventy or eighty eggs gathered together in the two baskets!"
She was surprised and secretly swallowed, while a look of satisfaction gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Hmph, that's more like it. Even if you don't have money, you should still have some attitude! You understand?"
"From now on, learn to be a decent human being! Understand?"
After being lectured on how to be a person, Qingsong and Awang could only nod in fear and accept the lesson.
The shrew's sharp eyes fell on Lin Mo; she had already spotted the two dizzy chickens in Lin Mo's basket.
It was precisely the allure of the pheasant that gave her the primal motivation to unleash her shrewish tantrums.
"Lin Mo, you were the one who suggested leading the hunt, weren't you? Shouldn't you bear the main responsibility?"
"If you hadn't started this nonsense, would A-Jun have gone along with it? And ended up falling like this?"
Lin Mo didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, but unexpectedly, the blame fell on him.
He wouldn't tolerate that:
"What do you mean? Oh, I led the hunt. If we caught something, we'd eat and drink well. If we got hurt, it'd all be on me. Why don't you just give back the fish I caught?"
“If you spit it out now, I’ll take responsibility; otherwise, don’t try to apply double standards to me.”
Wang Yanli never expected that the tricks that worked so well on her relatives and younger generations would not work on Lin Mo.
After a brief pause, she once again acted like a shrew, hands on her hips:
"Both of them, the accomplices, have admitted their wrongdoing! And you, the ringleader, still don't want to pay?"
"What do you mean, principal offender and accomplice? What crime did we commit?" Lin Mo had no intention of indulging her at all.
"You were enjoying it while eating, but you're unhappy when you throw it up. Look at the way you look!"
"Ugly as she is, yet she has such high aspirations?"
"Spit!"
After a barrage of sarcastic remarks, Lin Mo turned to leave.
However, the vicious words stung Wang Yanli so much that she immediately bristled and grabbed Lin Mo.
Enraged, Wang Yanli was about to spit all over his face.
Lin Mo was, after all, a man. No matter how fierce a shrew was, she couldn't outmaneuver a man. He easily shoved Wang Yanli aside.
"What, are you going to hit me? Come on, come on."
"You're still making a fuss about going to the county, huh? Go, go, go right now! Call the police officer here too. If you dare touch me, I'll lie down on the ground and make you buy me a bicycle and build me a new house!"
The two of them were now locked in a stalemate.
Ah Jun's parents, with their honest yet secretly selfish eyes, only wanted to get some benefits out of this situation.
I never imagined it would escalate to the county level.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Young Master Lin Mo took our child fishing and hunting; he meant well..."
After mixing the mud with water, Lin Mo picked up his bamboo basket and prepared to glare at Wang Yanli and leave.
"Having met is just karma."
Suddenly, Wang Yanli nimbly snatched the pheasants from Lin Mo's basket with one hand and one with the other.
"Get lost! Consider the pheasant as compensation for part of the loss!"
"???" That was the wild pheasant that Lin Mo planned to take home and raise to lay eggs.
Just as I was about to argue my case.
Ah Jun's parents, who had remained silent and let Wang Yanli rant and ramble on, suddenly moved aside and blocked Lin Mo's way.
"Alright, alright, Lin Mo, you go home first."
"We'll handle our own affairs; you don't need to interfere."
"Go back quickly, go back quickly."
In a swift and decisive move, the two pushed the bewildered Lin Mo out.
It was pushed from the main room to the courtyard, and then from the courtyard out of the courtyard.
The door was slammed shut.
Lin Mo was also amazed.
So, values really aren't as important as three meals a day?
I'm so angry!
With noon fast approaching and his mother unable to move, still waiting for food and medicine, Lin Mo temporarily swallowed his frustration.
I'll go home first to take care of my mother.
