Because the village chief was reasonable, Zhou Xiang was willing to tell him, "I am Zhou Xiang."
The village chief and the old lady stood up together. "You, you, you are Zhou Xiang?"
Zhou Xiang nodded.
The old lady walked over to Zhou Xiang and looked her over. "Oh! You're just like us! One nose and two eyes, but Bai Jing is more refined."
The village chief was still in shock. After hearing his wife's words, he couldn't help but scold her, "How can you talk like that!"
Zhou Xiang immediately defended the old lady, "Village Chief, you are right. I am just an ordinary person, not a monster. It is impossible for me to have three heads and six arms."
Upon hearing this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Xiang was not as difficult to approach as he had imagined.
"Zhou Xiang! That's what I'll call you."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Names are meant to be called by people. You are right to call it that."
After hearing this, the village chief once again felt that his idea might be feasible. "Zhou Xiang, I, you, what can our village do? Last year's income of your Zhoujia Village made the surrounding villages jealous.
I inquired for a long time before I found out that there was a man named Zhou Xiang in Zhoujia Village. He not only gave us strategies, but also lent us capital and bought us good seeds every year. I was so jealous!
How come our Xia Village doesn’t produce such a talent? Even the Zhou family’s ancestral tombs haven’t produced any smoke! "
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "The Zhou family's ancestral tomb is not here. Even if there is green smoke, you won't be able to see it."
The village chief was also amused, "Yes, yes, Zhoujia Village moved here more than a hundred years ago."
"Village Chief, saving people is the most important thing now. After I finish dealing with the Zhou family's affairs, I will definitely come to thank you. Then we can discuss it again."
"Okay, okay! We should save the people first. Tell me whose house it is and I'll take people there right away."
"The shabbiest house at the end of the village. It looks a bit shabby."
"Xia Tian? This brat said he wanted to change. What did he change? He even committed a serious crime."
"Village chief, don't worry! I told you to persuade him to surrender and report the crime. After he gets educated, he should be able to reflect on his actions when he gets out."
"How long will his sentence be?"
"The principal offender received about three years, so he should get less. Furthermore, he still has a good conscience and has persuaded the criminals to take action. So, if he provides evidence and ensures the criminals receive the punishment they deserve, his sentence should be reduced. Even if he turns himself in and reports the crime, his sentence could be reduced further."
"Alright! I'll take people to his house and hold him down. You go and rescue him. Have you brought people with you?"
Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs up and said, "Village Chief, you are really great. You are at the entrance of the village."
"You go and bring the people in. I'll go and call for help. Let's gather at the end of the village."
"Okay! Thank you, Village Chief!"
"You're welcome. You're right. No matter how big the conflict between the two villages is, it's nothing compared to human life."
Zhou Xiang waved and ran towards the village entrance.
Several people at the entrance of the village were getting impatient waiting. When they came, they just said they would listen to Zhou Xiang's arrangements. Zhou Xiang had been in the village for almost an hour. If something happened, no one could afford it.
"Zhou Gang, how about we go in and take a look? Don't let anything happen."
"Yes! Let's go and take a look. It's really not safe for a little girl like her to go into Xia Village alone."
Zhou Gang ignored their words and just stared at the village. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "She's out. Cousin Zhou Xiang is out."
The crooked people immediately stood up straight.
Zhou Xiang felt relieved to see that everyone was there. If he rushed in rashly, the conflict would escalate and become more difficult to resolve.
She waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the end of the village!"
Ten strong laborers immediately followed her into Xia Village. They had come here before to fight, so what was their purpose this time?
Village chief Xia, along with a dozen young men, was already waiting at the end of the village. When the two gangs saw each other, it was like enemies meeting, and they were extremely jealous of each other!
Seeing the villagers getting restless, Village Chief Xia stopped them, saying, "What are you doing? Stay still!"
"But they, the people from Zhoujia Village, dared to enter the village."
"I allowed it, don't make a noise!"
The young men immediately quieted down. It seemed that the village chief had good prestige, much better than that of Zhoujia Village.
"Zhou Xiang, let's go in first."
Zhou Xiang nodded.
The dozen or so young men from the Xia family all looked sideways. Zhou Xiang? Isn't that the golden egg from Zhou Village that the village chief mentioned? This is Zhou Xiang? A very ordinary person!
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry in and hold Xia Tian down. Whoever dares to let him escape will take the blame."
The boys were shocked. Xia Tian had committed a crime? No, he must be asked to turn himself in.
More than a dozen young men rushed forward, kicked the door open, and some climbed over the broken wall to get in. After a while, noises were heard from inside.
"What are you doing? Let me go now."
A dozen young men dragged out that scoundrel Xia Tian, tied up.
Zhou Xiang secretly praised the people of Xia Village for their high quality and quick actions.
"Brother Zhou Gang, go into the dilapidated house on the west side. My second cousin Zhou Chao is inside."
Zhou Chao? The ten men were relatively obedient. Although puzzled, they still headed towards the west room. The shocking scene inside was so brutal that one of them couldn't help but rush out to beat up the bound Xia Tian.
Zhou Xiang stopped him coldly, "Stop, what are you doing?"
"I, I'm going to beat up this son of a bitch."
"Shut up! Second cousin is imprisoned here by Zhou Yue. What does it have to do with him? He's doing this for money. Go back and beat up Zhou Yue."
The man who had been furious just now was stunned after hearing this. Zhou Yue? No wonder he was tied up.
"Go to the house and find something that can lift your second cousin. Buy it with money, but don't rob it."
"oh!"
A few people came out of the west room, all with red eyes.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and asked them to go to the main house to find something and carry the person back to the village.
They found a broken bed in the main room, covered it with straw and sheets, and gently lifted Zhou Chao onto it.
That little weight made the people who carried him cry.
After Zhou Chao was carried out, he saw the long-lost sunshine and smiled.
However, when the people from the two villages saw his appearance, they couldn't help but turn their heads and cry. How much hatred must it take to torture someone like this?
"Go borrow another bed and quilt." Zhou Xiang gave the order.
"good!"
Someone took out a torn quilt from the main room and covered Zhou Chao with it.
Zhou Xiang said to Zhou Chao, who was smiling on the cool bed, "Second cousin, I'm late."
Zhou Chao shook his head, "No, it's not too late."
Zhou Gang stuffed the money for the summer bed and quilt into the hands of the tied-up Xia Tian, and then followed the group who were lifting up the summer bed.
Zhou Xiang waved to the village chief and turned to leave.
Village Chief Xia sighed, "This Zhou Xiang is very extraordinary, he has a unique leadership style."
A dozen young men also nodded. This little girl directed those people in an orderly manner, more stylish than the village chief.
The people of Zhoujia Village were silent all the way. The four of them were carrying the light mat, and they were all shuddering in their hearts. Zhou Yue was too cruel.
