Chapter 371 Fight
The village chief's wife has a hot temper, but she usually restrains herself because her husband is the village chief and she doesn't want to cause trouble for him.
But her forbearance made these people forget her glorious history of scolding everyone in the world and being invincible, right?
The women who were talking excitedly were startled by the sudden roar.
When they turned around, they saw that it was the village chief's wife, and they all felt a little embarrassed.
Li Pandi, in particular, felt that they were all from the same village. A year ago, the Gu family was even poorer than hers, unable to afford a pair of good pants. But in just one year, not only had they become wealthy, they even had servants!
It’s okay to just invite them, but judging from the situation, they’re not just inviting one or two, but a lot of people.
How can this not make people jealous?
Didn't you just say a few more words?
Besides, she didn't think what she said was wrong. The village chief's new house was much better than the previous one.
Where did he get the money? Didn't he just take the money from the village?
"Sister-in-law, you're here too?" Although she was filled with dissatisfaction, she still had to put on a smile. After all, the village chief was in charge of the papermaking workshop, and her husband was still working there. What if the village chief's wife went back and started gossiping, and the village chief no longer wanted her husband?
So even though she was very unwilling in her heart, she still called the village chief's wife sister-in-law in a flattering manner.
The village chief's wife didn't give him any face. She looked at him as if she was about to spit water. "I told you to say that again!"
She put the dustpan in her hand aside heavily to avoid affecting her performance later!
"I didn't say anything. I just wondered what the Gu family did to become so rich that they could hire so many servants."
The village head's wife put her hands on her hips. "You short-sighted fools, you only see how much money Gu earns for his family, but you don't see how much money he spends on other things."
"Do your children spend a penny studying in school? Do you ever ask them what they eat when they get home at night? Three dishes and a soup, meat every meal! It's much better than eating pickled vegetables and radishes at home with you all every day!"
"And there's a job for you men, six hundred wen a month! You can go home every day and have eight days off a month! You don't have to pay your wages if you take leave. Can you find such a good job on your own?"
"Don't you know what kind of person your man is? He's lazy and cunning. If we weren't from the same village, he would have been fired by Lao Gu long ago!"
The village chief's wife spoke so fast and loudly that no one could get a word in.
The main thing is that what she said was the truth and these people couldn't refute it.
But Li Pandi, as the main target, had her face sprayed with saliva.
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the village head's wife. "That's enough, Duan Meihua! Why are you so anxious? Did I get it right?"
"Got it right?" Duan clenched her fist. "What did you say?"
"Hmph! See, you can't refute it. I told you the money for your house renovations wasn't legitimate, right? I also heard you're sending your eldest grandson to Wutong Academy. Where did all that money come from? Isn't it all embezzled from us?"
Thinking about how Duan had pointed at her nose and scolded her just now, she became even more outspoken.
"You said the Gu family's school is good, so why don't you send your eldest grandson to school? In the final analysis, you look down on this rural primary school."
Duan looked at Li Pandi's sarcastic face and felt that she would be a coward if she continued to endure it!
This bitch not only framed herself, but also framed that girl Jiayue!
Bah, these people shouldn't help them! They should be left in poverty for the rest of their lives!
She looked around and saw a stone on the ground. She bent down to pick it up and was about to throw it at Li Pandi. "I'm going to beat you to death, you big mouth! I'm going to teach you a lesson for your nonsense! I'm going to teach you to cause trouble!"
Li Pandi was not afraid either. After all, she saw clearly that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully.
Let’s do it!
Anyway, she has been unhappy with Duan Meihua for a long time!
Why? How could her husband be any worse than Gu Huangping? If Gu Huangping hadn't resorted to trickery, the position of village chief might have been her man's.
Then this lucrative job would be his as a man, wouldn't it?
She had heard that, not to mention the school, even the paper mill's daily income was packed in big red boxes.
The village chief must have taken so much money home. Otherwise, where would he have gotten the money to build such a grand new house?
"Hit me, kill me if you dare. If you can't kill me, I'll go to the Gu family and sue Gu Huangping for embezzlement!"
She put her hands on her hips and walked towards Duan with her chest puffed out.
The crowd who were originally watching the excitement saw that a fight was about to break out and quickly took action.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, forget it. It's just a few idle words."
"Oh, big sister, big sister. It's not necessary. She has a stone in her hand, you should stay away."
There were many people pulling, and Duan was afraid that someone might hit someone else with the stone, so she simply dropped the stone and reached out to pull Li Pandi's hair.
Li Pandi was not to be outdone. She curled her hands into claws and tried to scratch Duan's face.
"Ah, my hair! Duan Meihua, how dare you pull my hair!"
"Li Pandi! How dare you grab my face! I'll beat you to death!"
"Oh, who hit me?"
"My foot, who stepped on my foot?"
The scene became even more chaotic.
The sound was so loud that people working nearby heard it. They quickly put down their hoes and ran over to watch the fun.
"Why did the fight start?"
"Sister-in-law? You actually hit my sister-in-law! I'm going to fight you!" The person who came was the village chief's brother's wife. Seeing her sister-in-law being bullied, how could she just stand by and watch? She rolled up her sleeves and joined the fight!
"ah!"
"Stop fighting! It's indecent for you to keep fighting!"
No matter how the onlookers tried to stop the fight, Duan and Li Pandi had already started fighting and neither of them was willing to let go.
The village chief, who was supervising the workshop, was grabbed by the sleeve by a villager. "Village chief, go back and take a look! Your wife is fighting with someone!"
What?
How could someone as gentle as plum blossoms fight with others?
That person must have said or done something excessive.
No, I have to go quickly, otherwise Meihua will definitely be bullied.
"Third brother, please help keep an eye on it. I'll go back and see what's going on."
After giving the instructions, the village chief ran away without waiting for the third brother's consent.
When we arrived under the big banyan tree, we saw Duan Meihua and Li Pandi pulling each other's hair, and the two of them were lying on the ground entangled like two snakes.
"Let go! Let go! How disgraceful!"
When she met the village chief, Duan wanted to give her man face and was the first to let go of her hand.
But Li Pandi's eyes were red with anger. Seeing Duan letting go, she hurriedly pulled out a large handful of Duan's hair, tearing her scalp until it bled.
"Ah!" Duan felt her eyes go dark and her scalp hurt.
The village chief quickly hugged Duan in his arms, his face full of heartache. "Meihua, Meihua, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Huangping was usually very easy to talk to and usually never got angry with the villagers. Whenever there was a conflict in someone's family, he would mediate in a gentle manner.
But this time, Li Pandi had really touched his sore spot. "Li Pandi! You'd better hope Meihua is okay, or else you'll just have to wait and see!"
After saying these harsh words, the village chief quickly picked up Duan and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Today, Lin Yi was setting up a stall there with his apprentice to see a doctor.
