Chapter 430 Tit for tat
Village Chief Wang looked at the people around him in the village while looking at Xu Miaomiao's face. Fearing that Xu Miaomiao would be unhappy, he immediately waved his hand to drive away Liu Quezi who was standing aside and said, "Why are you involved everywhere? Hurry and get back now."
"Hey, Village Chief Wang, why are you urging me to do this?" Liu Quezi said dissatisfiedly, "I finally realized why you always side with Xu Miaomiao. Could it be that you have received some benefits from Xu Miaomiao? I've heard that Xu Miaomiao's husband rarely comes home. Could it be that you two are the ones who are doing this?"
When Liu Quezi said this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and glanced at Village Chief Wang and Xu Miaomiao with vague eyes. Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao subconsciously clenched his fists and looked at Liu Quezi with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Liu Quezi didn't take it seriously. After all, Village Chief Wang had been the village chief for decades and most people still respected him. The only one who dared to joke with him like this was probably Liu Quezi.
When everyone heard this, they also felt that what Liu Guizi said was a bit too much. They all lowered their heads, remained silent, and did not respond.
Liu Quezi didn't take it seriously. Seeing that Xu Miaomiao ignored him, he immediately stepped forward and blocked Xu Miaomiao's way, saying, "What? Xu Miaomiao, am I wrong? You ladies insist on going to such a department store. Who knows what shameful things you are doing inside? The most ridiculous thing is that your husband is an official in Bai County after all, but he actually agreed to let his wife go out and show off her face."
"I don't think it's any good stuff."
“Pah—”
A loud slap suddenly sounded in the air. Before the people around could react, Liu Quezi immediately covered his face with his hands. He pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, you dare to hit me? Do you know that this is Wangjia Village, my territory?"
Six Eggplant said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. She just touched herself and the slap she had just given Liu Guizi, and said, "Well, I don't know if this is your territory, but if you want to insult me, don't bring my family with you. Otherwise, I don't know what I can do."
Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately.
When Liu Que heard this, he immediately pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Who do you think you are? You are just a piece of trash. Who would want you? If you didn't have some skills in managing the fields, who would want to pay attention to you? Don't try to make a name for yourself in Wangjia Village. Believe it or not, I will not let you leave today."
As Liu Guizi spoke, he immediately limped to the side, picked up a broom and blocked Xu Miaomiao's way.
Xu Miaomiao looked at his posture, raised her eyebrows and disapproved.
The villagers standing by were so frightened when they saw their appearance that they hid aside and did not move.
Seeing this, Liu Quezi pointed at the villagers and said, "How come you all forgot? Who brought Xu Miaomiao back to you? If it weren't for the fact that my fields were long gone, he would have been the one to boss me around. Now that I've brought her back to you, are you going to abandon me?"
"Have you forgotten why the fields were damaged in the first place? If it weren't for her, how could it be like that?"
Everyone's brows relaxed a little after listening to what Liu Quezi said. They stood silently behind Liu Quezi. The huge team surrounded Xu Miaomiao as if they were going to beat her up. Only Village Chief Wang and Wu Zhuang beside him kept twitching. Wu Zhuang's wife glared at him in the team, so Wu Zhuang could only pick up the broom in his hand and walk towards them.
"Oh, what are you doing? Madam Xu came here today to manage our fields. How can you treat her like this?"
Seeing this, Village Chief Wang immediately spoke up to try to dissuade the people on both sides, but the crazy villagers simply didn't listen to his explanation. Liu Lame stepped forward with a broom and stood in front of Xu Miaomiao.
"You were so proud of yourself just now, why are you so proud of yourself now?"
Xu Miaomiao looked calm as she looked at the people in front of her without any panic. Instead, she glanced at the cripple with a sharp look, disapprovingly, and then immediately said, "Listen carefully, although my husband is no longer an official in the capital, he is still an official from the people. I am an official's wife, and I once rescued the fifth prince."
"Because of this, the current emperor issued an imperial decree to me, granting me a gold medal of immunity from death, and countless treasures were also delivered to Wei. Not only did I save the current fifth prince, but the current general's wife was also cured by me. The department store was once a military camp with officials and merchants working together. It is not the kind of low-class place you say is doing shameful things. Do you dare to speak out about what you just said?"
Xu Miaomiao saw that they began to hesitate, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Today I came to your place to manage the fields in compliance with the order of Magistrate Hu. Not only did you not line up to welcome me, but you also beat me with sticks. Aren't you just not giving Magistrate Hu face? If others knew about this, I'm afraid they would only accuse you, the people of Wangjia Village, of being ungrateful, raising a child and beating his mother to death!"
"These don't matter, but if I really die here today, have you thought about the consequences? Not to mention that my family members are all in the city, will they spare you?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the people in front of her with sharp eyes. She did not try to scare them. After all, she had been conferred an honor by the current emperor and had not committed any serious crime. If these people beat her to death for no reason, she would probably not be able to escape responsibility. Besides, Bai County was originally a remote small village. No one could have predicted what kind of thing would happen. When there was an investigation, the blame would only fall on Liu Quezi.
When Liu Quezi heard what Xu Miaomiao said, he immediately staggered two steps, his eyes turned, and then he took another step forward and said, "Everyone, don't be afraid of them. Who knows whether what he said today is true or false? Have you forgotten? She has a disaster star, what truth can she say? Today we must teach her a lesson and let her know that the people of our Wangjia Village are not easy to bully."
As soon as Liu Guizi finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately became angry again. Xu Miaomiao smiled and slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "Okay, then you guys beat me up. I want to see who will die in the end."
