Chapter 022 Traitorous Minister 22
Wait, that's not right!
Yesterday, Xiao Yan said that he saw her fighting with Shan Huang. How could he not recognize her?
Little Li was confused and asked the same question.
Xiao Yan looked at Madam Li in surprise, his face calm and his heart calm. "Auntie was covered in dirt yesterday, and today she's in mourning. How could I recognize her?"
Little Li: “…”
Although this explanation made sense, for some reason, Xiao Li was still a little suspicious.
Before she could think it through, Xiao Yan asked again, "Why did you come to me, Aunt? Did Xiao Dashi beat and scold you, so you wanted to start your own household?"
Beating one's wife is a very common thing, but everyone really looks down on such men, especially after they become good at embroidery.
If he were to beat or scold his wife as usual, she would go on strike, and then the family would lose an income. This would make the family, which was used to having spare money, return to the financial difficulties of the past. Who would want that?
Some women couldn't bear the divorce and remarried with the embroidery quota, and even lived happier. After all, it was the helper herself who signed the contract in Aunt Zhao's family, not a certain family. This was also Xiao Yan's idea, in order to make the women's lives better.
Of course, we agreed with Aunt Zhao that she would speak for the other women, saying that as a fellow woman, she couldn't bear to see other women being mistreated. This way, the men would be restrained and naturally wouldn't dare to act as they pleased.
As a participant and the wife of the village head, my third aunt-in-law is very supportive of this.
Although she disliked Xiao Li, she couldn't just watch a girl like her with no relatives being beaten and scolded. One reason was that they were both women, and the other was that if the news got out, which girl would be willing to marry into their village?
Little Li asked solemnly, "Is that so?"
She picked up the stick and went out to find Xiao Dashi, cursing, "This Xiao Dashi is getting more and more unreasonable! No matter how hard he tries to hit people, how dare he do that? It's New Year's Day, and he's really spoiled!"
Little Li: “???”
Little Li: “!!!”
Xiao Li didn't expect that Xiao Yan would be so unsportsmanlike and would expose the conversation between the two without saying a word. Shouldn't such private matters of others be kept more confidential?
You said it so openly, but have you ever thought about the feelings of the person involved?
Xiao Yan not only felt no guilt, but also comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie. My third uncle's ancestor was a bodyguard. They know some tricks. It will be easy for them to deal with Xiao Dashi. They will definitely not suffer any loss."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Third Auntie will definitely seek justice for you!"
The more Xiao Yan said this, the more uneasy Xiao Li became.
God damn it, she should just keep her heart at peace. All the bad words Xiao Dashi said to her were lies she used to deceive Xiao Yan and gain his sympathy, pretending to be a victim as well!
Xiao Dashi didn't hit her at all!
Xiao Li couldn't imagine what the scene would be like after Xiao Dashi found out that she had slandered him outside. The thought made her scalp tingle.
Even if she looks down on Xiao Dashi, she still has to rely on him for her livelihood. If Xiao Dashi finds out, what will become of her?
Xiao Li knew that she could cover up the past, but Xiao Dashi would not treat her as usual. How could she bear this when she enjoyed the life of not having to do any work?
If things don't go as expected, we can't destroy Xiao Dashi's retreat!
Little Li was in a state of panic and didn't care about Xiao Yan at all. She hurriedly grabbed the headman's wife.
"Thank you, Third Aunt, for your consideration. However, Xiao Dashi is greedy, cunning, and stubborn, and he's the easiest to hold a grudge against. As they say, a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against them for a thousand days. How can I bear to see you suffer Xiao Dashi's hatred because of me?"
Xiao Li tried to dissuade the headman's wife from having such an idea.
Unfortunately, she misjudged the villagers' attitude towards the head of the village, including her. Apart from them, most of the escorts were living on the edge of a knife. The head of the village's wife had seen her family members going through fire and water since she was a child, so she would not be afraid of Xiao Dashi.
The village head's wife held a stick, the veins on her hand exposed, looking even more powerful than a mature man. She said with a fierce face, "I'll give him three moves. Does he dare?"
I'll give him three moves...
Let him make three moves...
Three moves...
Little Li's head was buzzing, and the village head's wife's loud shout was echoing in her head.
Seeing that the headman's wife was about to stride forward, little Li shuddered, came to her senses, and hugged the headman's wife's arm.
What is surprising is that little Li was actually dragged away by the village head's wife!
Little Li: “???”
Little Li: “!!!”
Xiao Li shocked her entire family. Is this guy still a woman?!
What kind of woman can easily drag others away and say she wants to fight with a man?
Little Li was dragged along in a daze.
Speaking of it, Xiao Li does have a weak temperament, but that is only limited to her temperament. She is still quite voluptuous, with very nice breasts and buttocks. Otherwise, she would not be able to fully control Xiao Dashi with just her weak temperament.
This also shows that she does have a certain weight.
But such a voluptuous woman was actually being dragged along by an old woman who was nearly fifty years old, and she still had strength left...
This is totally against the worldly concept!
Little Li looked bewildered as she looked at the sole of her shoe that was being dragged. Perhaps thinking that she was in the way, the headman's wife half carried and half embraced her to the ground.
Little Li: “???”
Little Li was startled back to her senses by this action and started struggling.
"Aunt San, Aunt San! Please listen to me!"
The headman's wife glanced at her. Although she was only half a head taller than her, she still felt as if she was looking down on her.
At this time, the headman's wife was feeling angry that someone would beat her, especially on New Year's Day. Her face was full of ferocity, which frightened little Li.
She swallowed silently and decided that even if Xiao Dashi got beaten, she would never tell anyone that she had made up the story.
She didn't want to be hit by that punch as big as a sandbag.
With this punch, her fragile body will definitely be half crippled!
When she met the eyes of the headman's wife, Xiao Li was about to hit the opponent, but when she heard the excuse that was so unreliable, she swallowed it back.
She said softly, "Aunt San, please be gentle. Xiao Dashi may be a jerk, but he is still my husband after all."
It is better to pretend to be a timid and foolish woman than to be exposed.
Xiao Yan was shocked and said, "So, Auntie still can't stand the hardships of life and would rather swallow her anger than support herself as a daughter-in-law?"
Little Li: “…”
Damn, I forgot that bastard Xiao Yan was here!
Why is this damn dog still here?!
The headman's wife frowned upon hearing this and put the man down directly. Her face was so dark that it seemed as if a storm was about to come.
"Since you two are willing to fight and be beaten, why do you pretend to be so resentful?"
The headman's wife knew that if one of the husband and wife refused to stand up, even if others intervened, things would return to normal after a while.
Maybe he will even turn the tables!
Little Li stammered and couldn't say a word. The village head's wife was furious seeing her like this.
She said angrily, "You can't even stand on your own two feet, how can you expect others to help you? No matter how much I say, you won't listen, so it's up to you!"
Just as Little Li was beginning to feel relieved, she heard her say, "Yan'er has severed ties with Xiao Dashi. They are from two different families, he's an outsider, and he's only a half-grown child."
"As an elder, you should be aware of the differences between men and women. Why do you keep looking for Brother Yan over and over again?!"
Little Li: “…”
Well, things are back to square one again.
Little Li couldn't reveal her plan, so she could only bite the bullet and accept the label of being reckless and stupid.
"I was just flustered and lost my composure..."
The village head's wife glared at him, "You've lost your temper! There are so many elders in the village, why would you forget about them and go and bother Yan Ge'er?"
For a moment, Xiao Li thought that the headman's wife had seen through her plan.
"Since you don't want to live apart from Xiao Dashi, then you deserve it! Don't let me know that you're entangled with Yan'er and Chen'er, otherwise I will have to ask Xiao Dashi about how he treats his wife. She has lost her sense of propriety and even forgotten the elders of the clan, and instead asks me for help!"
The village head's wife said with a fierce look on her face, "Brother Yan, come with me."
Xiao Yan followed behind with an indifferent expression, leaving behind little Li with a pale and red face.
After entering the door, the headman paused for a moment, then said goodbye and pulled Xiao Yan and his wife to the side room.
"But Xiao Dashi is pestering you again?"
The village head's wife was furious. "I think Xiao Dashi had this plan, but it wasn't his idea. I guess it was Xiao Li's own idea!"
Seeing the shock and surprise on Xiao Yan's face, she looked a little proud. "I'm not that old and blind. How could I not see what little Li was thinking?"
The wife of the village head was not in a position to discuss matters between men and women with a younger generation like Xiao Yan, so she could only vaguely say, "Brother Yan, you're right to listen to your aunt. This little Li has bad intentions. Stay away from her!"
The village head also said angrily: "Xiao Dashi and Xiao Li are becoming more and more unreasonable. They are even plotting against the younger generation in the village!"
I have to say that they are worthy of being a couple. The village head and his wife said exactly the same thing.
But no matter how much they see through it, it is just their speculation. There is no direct evidence to prove that the person should be dealt with.
"If you two brothers have nothing else to do, please return to town as soon as possible."
The county examination is approaching, and both brothers of the Xiao family have great hopes of passing. We cannot allow their family to influence this matter.
This concerns the glory of the village!
The village head's wife also nodded, "That's right."
"The town is far from here. Even if they try their best, it's hard for them to go there often. It's always better to be careful and attentive."
Xiao Yan bowed to the two of them as a junior, his expression suddenly enlightened. "I never thought that human hearts could be so sinister..."
The head of the village glanced at his wife and sighed in his heart that she was just a child after all and didn't think things through. However, this also showed her pure nature and it was better for her to be open-minded than a cunning and mercenary person.
When interacting with others, we still hope to be more kind.
