Lu Chenggong looked at Lu Xiaolan with displeasure: "Shut up! How dare you talk to your sister-in-law like that? Don't you have any manners?!"
Lu Xiaolan felt a pain in her chest from anger and said to Lu Mingcai, "Dad, look at my brother! He doesn't stand up for his own sister and only takes the side of outsiders!"
Lu Mingcai looked at the growing crowd outside, his face turning ashen. He was about to be driven mad by his troublesome family members!
Neither my son nor my daughter is any good!
They've been bullied right to their doorstep, and instead of uniting against outsiders, they've started fighting amongst themselves!
"Shut up, all of you!"
With a harsh rebuke, Lu Mingcai looked at Huo Xiao with a gloomy face, "Huo boy, what are you trying to do?"
Huo Xiao met Lu Mingcai's gaze and said coldly, "This is also what I want to ask the brigade leader! Brigade leader, what are you trying to do by repeatedly allowing your family to cause trouble for my wife? Yesterday, Lu Xiaolan spread rumors in the village that my wife stole someone else's boyfriend, and today Lu Xiaolan came to my house and acted wildly, barking and yelling at my wife like a mad dog!"
As Huo Xiao spoke, he threw Lu Xiaolan, whom he was holding, to the ground. "If you think that becoming the production brigade leader gives your family the right to bully and oppress us ordinary people, then I don't mind eliminating this scourge for the people!"
"You!" Lu Mingcai was both shocked and furious upon hearing Huo Xiao's words.
Since he became the head of Daqingshan Village, he has never been treated like this in the village, being scolded by a junior!
If this were someone else, he would have plenty of ways to make them suffer and teach them a lesson they won't tolerate!
But this person just happens to be Huo Xiao!
He was genuinely scared at this moment!
Although the Huo family didn't flaunt their wealth in the village, he was, after all, the village's head, and he knew some things.
Huo Xiao holds a high position in the military, and I've heard that he's highly regarded by his superiors!
Although he has now retired from the army, given Huo Xiao's abilities, he fears that Huo Xiao might actually remove him from his position as battalion commander!
But he has always been proud, and he couldn't bring himself to admit that his family was wrong in front of so many people!
Those who had come to watch the spectacle were now dumbfounded!
They never expected Huo Xiao to be so fierce!
They even went so far as to say they were ridding the people of a scourge; it seems they've really been angered by the brigade leader's family!
That's true, even a clay figure has a bit of temper!
Lu Xiaolan's foul mouth is truly excessive!
Few people in the village could stand it!
However, everyone was hesitant because her father was the brigade leader. They were afraid that if she made a scene, the brigade leader would target her. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he would assign them difficult tasks and find fault with them to deduct work points was enough to make them suffer!
So, they silently endured every loss they suffered, and now that they saw her run into a brick wall, they secretly cheered and felt extremely satisfied!
Aunt Zhang was furious when she heard Huo Xiao threaten her husband. She got up from the ground and pointed at Huo Xiao, saying, "Huo Xiao! What do you mean? Have you lost your mind? How dare you threaten the brigade leader! I think none of your Huo family members want to live in this village anymore!"
"I'd like to see how you're going to make it impossible for us to survive in this village!"
Liu Guilan rushed over and heard Aunt Zhang's shouting. She pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, slapped away Aunt Zhang's hand pointing at her son, and put her hands on her hips, saying, "What a show of power! Do you think you can bully the Huo family because we have no one to rely on? You've caused trouble for our family time and time again, and now you want us to be unable to live in the village. Today I'm going to see how you're going to make our family unable to live in the village!"
Su Xuemei sneered: "Listen to that tone! He really thinks he's the local tyrant of Daqingshan Village, making it impossible for anyone he doesn't like to live in!"
Huo Hai snorted coldly: "Although my Huo family is small, we are not pushovers. You can't just treat us like this!"
Wu Dayou and Zhao Dabao, along with several other young men who were close to the Huo brothers, stood together behind the Huo family, clearly showing their support for them.
"What are you doing? What are you all trying to do!" Seeing that his wife's words had angered everyone, Lu Mingcai quickly stepped forward and said, "It's just a small conflict, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
Huo Xiao sneered: "A minor conflict? Lu Xiaolan keeps causing trouble for my wife, and now she's going even further, blaming her for everything. Does she really think I, Huo Xiao, am a dead man!"
Lu Mingcai knew that if he didn't take a stand this time, things wouldn't end well. He angrily turned around and slapped Lu Xiaolan, shouting, "What exactly have you been doing behind my back?"
This is an attempt to shift the blame onto Lu Xiaolan!
Lu Xiaolan was stunned by Lu Mingcai's slap and didn't understand his implication at all. She covered her face in grievance and said, "Dad, they're the ones who bullied me, and they've come to our doorstep to bully us. Why did you hit me?"
Lu Mingcai was so angry he wanted to strangle this brainless idiot. He said angrily, "If you hadn't provoked them first, would they have been able to find our way to our house?"
Lu Xiaolan, remembering why she had gone to see Ye Weiwei, was filled with rage. Pointing at Ye Weiwei, she said, "It's all her fault! She's the one who hurt me first! I did nothing wrong! It's all her fault! She must have drugged me last night..."
Her mention reminded everyone of what Lu Xiaolan had done the night before, and they all looked at her with disgust.
Lu Xiaolan was provoked by everyone's reaction, and her eyes looked like they were filled with venom when she looked at Ye Weiwei!
"Where's the evidence?" Huo Xiao sneered. "What evidence do you have to prove that my wife did it?"
Lu Xiaolan's expression twisted in pain. "Who else could do such a thing besides her? She must have drugged me!"
Hearing Lu Xiaolan say this, some onlookers looked at Ye Weiwei with suspicion.
It has to be said that what Lu Xiaolan did last night was indeed quite unusual...
And she just happened to have offended Ye Weiwei during the day, so maybe it really was as she said, that Ye Weiwei had drugged her!
Isn't Ye Weiwei's medical skill very impressive?
Ye Weiwei scoffed, "What? Is it a crime to have good medical skills?"
Huo Xiao said in a deep voice, "I can guarantee with my life that my wife did not go out in the middle of the night after she went to bed last night!"
Hearing Huo Xiao say this, those who had previously had doubts believed him!
Lu Xiaolan roared, "You're in cahoots with her, of course you'll side with her!"
"Shut up!" Lu Mingcai roared. "Apologize to Ye Zhiqing right now!"
"I don't...ah..."
Lu Xiaolan received another heavy slap across the face!
Lu Mingcai glared fiercely at Lu Xiaolan, "Apologize!"
Lu Xiaolan trembled at Lu Mingcai's terrifying gaze. Despite her resentment, she had no choice but to lower her head and say, "I'm sorry!"
