Chapter 383 Warning
"But after all, it was not you who killed this man." Xu Miaomiao changed the direction of the sword in his hand and aimed it at the child in the corner.
Village Chief Wang was even more panicked when he saw this scene, and he immediately said, "Madam Xu, you may not know since you just came back, but this child is the one born to me by the concubine of Liu Quezi, and he is also the grandson of my Wang family. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. He is so young, who can he kill?"
The child was a little scared when he saw someone pointing a sword at him. He huddled in the corner and burst into tears, looking at them pitifully.
"Do you want to say it yourself, or should I?" Xu Miaomiao looked at the child in the corner and spoke without any mercy.
The child was frightened by him and lost consciousness, not knowing what to do.
"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to scare her. I didn't know I would knock her down at that time."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he understood the reason first. He immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Could it be that I got into trouble again by holding the youngest child? Madam Xu, I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Will an apology be useful? Will an apology make Liu Niang's health better? Will an apology bring back the baby in her belly? I have been tolerant of you again and again, but this is what happened. Village chief, you know Gu Yuanniang's character. She has always been kind and considerate. I just wanted to give the child two pieces of candy, but he threw stones at us. Liu Niang fell to the ground and miscarried. The baby in her belly is gone. How can I swallow this anger? How come their lives are lives? But the life of the baby in Liu Niang's belly is not life?"
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to stop it. Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment, and Village Chief Wang immediately stopped him. The child was so scared that he kept crying, but Village Chief Wang didn't stop his actions. He directly pulled down his pants and slapped him on the butt with a loud slap.
This child was originally born to Liu Quezi. Liu Quezi was old and everyone loved him very much. This was the first time he was beaten like this, and he burst into tears.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this, he put away his sword and said, "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
"When a child does something wrong, he must be punished. Madam Xu, this is all my fault. I didn't teach the child well, so he accidentally hurt the girl. You want us to pay you money or do hard labor, but you see that he is just a child, and he doesn't even have a clear sense of right and wrong. Please spare his life."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao's brows relaxed and he slowly put away the sword in his hand.
Now Xu Miaomiao was a little soft-hearted. Village Chief Wang slapped the child's hands even harder and kept saying, "I told you not to listen. If you dare to throw stones at others in the future, I will take some stones and throw them all at you. I will also let you taste how painful it is when stones hit people."
Hearing this, the child burst into tears and nodded, saying, "I know I will never do this again. It was my uncle who said that their family were all bad people. It was my uncle who said that they made my legs like this. I just wanted to avenge my uncle. I didn't intend to hurt them."
Xu Miaomiao laughed when she heard this, then walked over to look at Wang Mang. Wang Mang was startled by her and said tremblingly, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Miaomiao immediately pinched Wang Mang's mouth, looked at him and said, "If I hear any rumors again in the future, I don't mind letting your tongue and your feet end up like this."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao let go of Wang Mang's face, wiped it with her hand scroll in disgust, pinched Wang Mang's hand and said, "Today is a lesson for you. You must remember that the reason you can lie here in one piece is because of the village chief. If it weren't for him, I would make you pay for the life of the child in Liu Niang's belly."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's serious expression, Wang Mang wanted to scold her but didn't dare to open his mouth. He could only swallow all the words back into his mouth and dared not say anything.
The child's crying resounded through the heavens and the earth. Even when Xu Miaomiao was about to leave, Village Chief Wang did not stop beating the child. Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly and was about to leave when a lame man standing at the entrance of the village limped over. Hearing the child's crying, he immediately walked in.
Seeing that Village Chief Wang was beating him, he stepped forward and immediately pushed Village Chief Wang to the ground.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she wanted to leave but couldn't, so she immediately stepped forward and helped Village Chief Wang up. Village Chief Wang was old, so he pinched his thigh where he had just fallen, and stood up tremblingly.
Liu Quezi was so angry that his legs almost gave out. He looked at him and said, "You were the one who wanted to give me a concubine. You said you would treat this child as your own grandson and love him as if he were your own. But now what you said is all bullshit. Why do you want to beat my son without my consent?"
When the little boy saw this, he immediately fell into Liu Quezi's arms and cried loudly, "Dad, they beat me."
"You should ask about the whole story of what happened. Why do you push people for no reason? What's more, this person is your leader."
"Pooh."
Liu Quezi spitted and said with disdain, "What do you mean the older he gets, the more crazy his daughter is. If it wasn't for his daughter's despicable behavior, would she have given me a concubine to cover up this scandal? Now he's acting like a father-in-law and even hitting my son? If it wasn't because I was in poor health, I would have asked him to take care of my son. Do you think I would be willing to ask him to do that?"
Liu Quezi thought for a while, then fixed his eyes on Xu Miaomiao, and said with disdain: "What's the matter, Madam Xu? You have dealt with your own affairs. I heard that you were demoted. How come you are still showing off here? Could it be that this sad world has changed? It's all your family's world now."
"Enough, what are you talking about?" Village chief Wang was really dissatisfied when he heard this, and slammed the table angrily.
Seeing this, Liu Quezi immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you pretending in front of me? It was you who wanted to give me a concubine. If it weren't for my poor health, would my son be raised here with you? You treated him like this again today. You must give me an explanation today, or I will sue you for child abuse."
