Before she finished speaking, the guests applauded and cheered, "The proprietress said it well!"
"We must not encourage these unhealthy trends!"
"Yes, the social atmosphere is bad now. Everyone wants to carry a knife and act like a gangster!"
"Your village did the right thing, so we must unite and fight the evil forces to the end!"
"Sigh! That's true, but it's only because the villagers are united. If this happened in the city, most people would be scared to death the moment the knife is drawn."
Some guests, driven by curiosity, even pressed for details about what happened next.
"Boss lady, tell everyone how many people have been injured so far in this incident?"
How many people did the police take back for investigation? Will they be detained, fined, or sentenced?
Chen Hong looked around and saw that everyone was no longer enthusiastic about eating; their gossip was just too strong.
He could only give a brief account of the situation at the scene, "Don't worry, everyone. A total of twenty or thirty people were injured in the two villages today, but most of them suffered minor injuries and can go home after being bandaged up."
The village officials and clan leaders all went to the police station, but we acted in self-defense, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
More than a dozen people from the other side were taken away, and the rest were hospitalized. They were the ones who committed the violence and provoked the incident, and should be punished accordingly.
Given the severity of their injuries, medical expenses may arise. However, the final decision cannot be based solely on our side of the story.
The police will definitely investigate and question people, and may even collect evidence. Anyway, in my opinion, arresting everyone who came to cause trouble and attacked with a knife is the only way to vent our anger!
Whether the police can satisfy us or not, we don't know, but I hope that in the end, things will turn out as we wish!
"Hahaha, the landlady is right, we should arrest all these people, especially those guys who are carrying knives!"
"Boss lady, in the end, things will definitely turn out as you wish!"
The guests were very supportive and ate at her house; they were definitely on her side!
Chen Hong was very pleased that the guests hadn't been frightened or complained about. She was extremely satisfied!
In her excitement, Chen Hong wanted to add more dishes for the guests!
"Auntie, Sister-in-law Xiaofeng, put a bowl of the oysters I just dug up today on every table. It's on me!"
Everyone laughed and said, "Thank you, boss lady!"
Aunt Guo laughed, "You're really lucky! Our boss always gives us free vegetables when he's in a good mood!"
The guests were delighted and called out to Aunt Guo, "Thank you too, Chef Guo!"
Aunt Guo smiled and went into the kitchen, and Chen Hong followed her in.
"Auntie, I'll call Xiaofeng and Uncle Village Chief to ask how they're going to have dinner tonight."
No, we might still need to deliver food. I doubt the hospital and police station will provide meals.
Aunt Guo slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! It's already past eight o'clock. Regardless of everyone else, even the wounded in the hospital need to eat!"
"Chen Hong, hurry up and make a call. We'll cook for you these next few days, and the village will reimburse us."
"Why bother reporting this small amount of money to the village? I'll pay for it! This is the time to show our village's unity!"
Chen Hong first called Xiao Feng. The phone was noisy; the hospital had received so many injured patients and was bandaging them in batches!
According to Xiaofeng, there were four police officers guarding the hospital. As a result, the wounded from the two villages and the villagers who went to take care of the wounded almost got into a fight in the hospital.
Fortunately, there were five or six security guards at the hospital maintaining order, which allowed them to separate the two groups and treat their injuries.
But these people, though they've fallen from grace, their spirit remains unbroken; they're still as stubborn as ever! They're still shouting insults across the hallway!
Everyone's too busy arguing and tending to their injuries to think about dinner yet!
Chen Hong asked them and they said it would probably take another two or three hours to finish, and that they were currently getting stitches and bandages.
Chen Hong called the village chief again to inquire about the situation. The village chief was in a low mood, and it was said that he had just come out of the interrogation room and did not know the situation of the villagers.
They were questioned separately. According to the police, some people from Xiyu Village were seriously injured. It is still unknown how the incident will be classified. No one is thinking about food right now.
Chen Hong advised him to relax, saying that at worst it was just excessive self-defense, and that he should also persuade the clan leaders to bring them dinner when he got back that night.
Chen Hong then called Xiao Feng again, telling him that she would bring them food later and that he should not do anything in front of the police, and that he should keep an eye on the villagers and make sure they did not act impulsively.
After hanging up the phone, Guo and the other two people set aside time to cook for more than thirty people in the village.
At ten o'clock at night, Chen Hong arranged for Yu Yang to go home to sleep and locked the gate. She then drove her van, taking Uncle Erhu and Xiao Hao's mother with her.
They were pulling three large stainless steel insulated buckets filled with food and egg drop soup, a large basket of bowls and chopsticks, and five bags of mineral water.
Taking advantage of the cool night air, we headed straight for the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I could hear shouting and cursing coming from the emergency room building from afar.
Chen Hong had never known that men could be quite good at cursing, from ancestors to grandchildren, from male elders to female juniors, from the upper three fields to the lower three roads.
There's nothing they won't curse at! Their insults are just too outrageous! Chen Hong and Xiao Hao's mother simply didn't get out of the car and drove it to the side of the emergency room.
They asked Uncle Erhu to get out of the car and call the villagers over. They prepared the meals one by one and brought them to the benches in the hospital corridor to eat.
The villagers didn't feel hungry until they saw the food, but once they did, their stomachs started rumbling.
They didn't bother with politeness anymore; each person had a bowl of rice, half a plate of braised fish and half a plate of braised pork, and the other person also had a bowl of soup and a bottle of mineral water.
