Zhou Yiwen was extremely angry when he heard others tell him that his eldest son and third son were kidnapped by Yidong and his men.
He went straight to his father and said, "Dad, this is the person you chose as the successor to the clan leader? He didn't even give you face, didn't even say hello, and just brought people to kidnap Dayong and Sanyue. Does he still have eyes for the people of our eldest branch?"
The great grandfather raised his eyelids, looked at him and said, "Stop your provocative words. What's the difference between you and a nagging woman? If you don't think highly of him, do you think highly of you? If it weren't for your incompetence, would the eldest wife have fallen into such a state? Have you asked the reason for this?"
Zhou Yiwen shook his head.
The grandfather picked up the whip and casually hit him, "Why are you coming here making such a fuss without even asking the reason? Could Yidong have tied them up for no reason?"
Zhou Yiwen felt nervous. Could it be that his two sons had done something wrong?
They're just playing around, is it really necessary to tie them up?
"Dad, I'll go take a look!"
The great-grandfather waved his hand and sighed helplessly. He had two sons, but the eldest son was not very good and the two children he had were not as good as the children brought by his eldest daughter-in-law.
The second brother doesn't care about anything, and when Yidong becomes the leader, he even has some opinions about himself.
Alas! My wife passed away early, and I have to be both a father and a mother, and take care of the affairs of the village. I really didn’t teach them well!
When Zhou Yiwen arrived at the lake, he saw his two sons tied up and thrown to the ground.
He walked up to Zhou Yidong angrily, "Yidong, what do you mean?"
Zhou Yidong shook his head. "Don't ask me. I don't know the details. She arranged it because she wanted to come back."
Zhou Yiwen didn't expect that Xiangxiang was involved in this. So, it must be that the two bastards did something that made Xiangxiang discover it and get angry.
"Where is she?"
"She's gone to do something else. When she comes back, everyone will know what happened."
"Well, then I'll go ask those two bastards."
Zhou Yidong grabbed him and said, "No! Xiang Xiang said that no one is allowed to touch them, including you and uncle."
And now he's not even allowed to see his son? Zhou Yiwen felt dissatisfied with Zhou Xiang.
He looked at his two sons who were tied up like pigs and had no choice but to go back to find his father.
"father!"
"Have you made your inquiries?"
“I asked, but I don’t know!”
"What's the meaning?"
"Yidong said that Xiangxiang had returned, and she asked Yidong to bring people to tie up Dayong and Sanyue."
Hearing this, the grandfather became nervous. He thought that if such an arrangement could be made, something serious must have happened. "Where is she?"
"Yidong said he was out on some business. When he came back, everyone knew what happened. Dad! Dayong and Sanyue were tied up like pigs. It hurts me to see them like that!"
The great grandfather waved his hand and said, "Come on, take me to see it!"
Zhou Yiwen quickly helped his father down and took him to the lake.
Zhou Xiang brought his men to the entrance of the next village and stopped. "You guys wait here, Brother Zhou Gang, you are responsible for watching and not allowing anyone to run around. Wait for me to call you."
Zhou Gang nodded.
Zhou Xiang walked quickly into the village, found a house with its door open, and asked about the village chief's residence.
"What do you want to see the village chief about?"
"Oh! It's like this. I'm from the county town. I need to discuss some things with the village chief. I don't know exactly where his house is."
The words "from the county town" stunned the villagers. They pointed to a slightly better house in the village and said, "That's the village chief's house. It's a mixture of brick and adobe, so it's easy to find."
"Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome."
Watching Zhou Xiang leave, the uncle sighed that city people are just polite.
When he was about to reach the house made of a mixture of adobe and bricks, Zhou wanted to hide in the alley between the houses.
He smuggled two cans of food out of the space, put them in a net bag, held them in his hands, then walked out and knocked on the village chief's door.
Zhou Xiang stood at the gate and knocked on the wide-open door. "Is the village chief home?"
There were footsteps in the main room. "Here! Who is it?"
The sound arrived, and the people arrived too.
A man in his fifties was wearing a blue suit and a military coat.
He looks good. His blue clothes are half-new, and not everyone can get a military coat in those days.
The old man saw Zhou Xiang and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Zhou Xiang held up the net bag in his hand and said, "I'm from the county town. I have something to discuss with you. Do you think we can go inside and talk?"
The old man smiled and said, "Okay! Let's talk inside."
Zhou Xiang followed him into the main room, which looked like an ordinary villager's home, without anything special about it.
Maybe this village chief is a good person.
There was another old lady in the room, sitting on the bed sewing shoe soles. When she saw her husband bringing people in, she quickly put down her work.
Seeing the girl put the can on the table, he quickly took it and said, "Let me do it, don't break it."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiang gave the net bag to the old lady.
The village chief pointed at a stool and said, "Sit down!"
"Thank you!" After sitting down, Zhou Xiang hesitated about how to say it more tactfully.
Seeing her hesitation, the village chief spoke up, "Just say what you want to say."
"Don't get angry or upset after I tell you so!" Zhou Xiang gave a warning.
The village chief smiled and said, "I don't have such a bad temper."
"I want to know what grudges exist between your village and Zhoujia Village. Is it irreconcilable? In other words, when faced with human lives, would your village choose to save the people of Zhoujia Village? Or would you choose to shield the villagers of your village who made the mistake?"
When the village chief heard the name Zhoujia Village, he wanted to jump up, but Zhou Xiang's next words suppressed him.
Zhou Xiang saw that he was about to explode, so he quickly asked the rest of the question. He couldn't let him be filled with anger and not listen to the rest of the question!
"You, what do you mean? What's your last name?"
"What do I mean? Someone in your village assisted the criminals and provided the venue. I didn't call the police directly for the sake of harmony between the two villages. Otherwise, the police would have come directly instead of me.
I came here to peacefully rescue someone, and you can persuade that person to surrender himself to the police. His sentence will be lighter. If he reports the criminal and provides strong evidence, his sentence will be reduced."
The village chief's arrogance was completely suppressed. As the village chief, Zhou Xiang certainly understood what he said.
"The person you want to save is from Zhoujia Village? The criminal is also from Zhoujia Village? Is your last name Zhou?"
Zhou Xiang immediately raised his hands and applauded him, "Village Chief, you are very smart. You are smarter than the clan leader and village chief of our Zhoujia Village."
The village chief sighed, "It's a pity that our Xia Village doesn't have a Zhou Xiang like Zhoujia Village."
Damn it, Zhou Xiang exclaimed in his heart, am I really that famous now?
