Chapter 374 Apology
Early the next morning, Chen Biantan brought Li Pandi, who had been bandaged, to apologize.
But no matter how they shouted at the village chief's house, no one came to open the door for them.
Seeing more villagers gathered around to watch the fun, Li Pandi stamped her feet in anger. "Duan Meihua did it on purpose!"
Chen Biantan comforted Li Pandi. "We are here to apologize. It is only natural that others should take advantage of us."
"Are you feeling unwell? Are your eyes hurting again? Sit here first, I'll go knock on the door again." There is a big stone in front of the village chief's house, which is deliberately left for daily rest.
Chen Biantan placed Li Pandi on a rock, and considerately took the bamboo tube from behind and placed it in his hand. He also picked two leaves from a nearby catalpa tree and placed them on Li Pandi's head. "Drink some water first."
Seeing that Li Pandi had calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to continue knocking on the door.
About a quarter of an hour later, the village chief finally opened the door.
Chen Biantan chuckled. "Village Chief, we're here to apologize!"
The village chief glanced at the couple and, though still angry, he stepped aside. "Come in!"
After entering the house, they did not see Duan Meihua, "Village Chief, where is my sister-in-law?"
"He's lying on the bed." The village chief pointed to the room not far away and his tone was not very friendly.
Chen Biantan acted as if he hadn't heard anything. "Then can we go in and take a look?"
The village chief nodded.
Only then did Chen Biantan bring his wife into the room.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine. Duan Meihua had a white cloth wrapped around her head and her face was very pale. She looked very seriously ill.
Chen Biantan placed the items on the table nearby. "Sister-in-law, Zhaodi was wrong about what happened yesterday. I've been feeling more and more regretful since I got home. I couldn't sleep all night. So I brought him here to apologize to you. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive him."
Duan Meihua slowly opened her eyes, ignoring Chen Biantan and looking directly at Li Pandi, who was standing behind him. "You didn't sleep all night? You must be thinking about how you didn't perform well in the fight yesterday, right?"
Although Duan Meihua was being deliberately sarcastic, she was also speaking the truth. After all, she hadn't slept all night, constantly reviewing the reasons for her loss.
Oh, I should have broken her arm first! Wouldn't that way she couldn't pull my hair?
What a mistake! What a mistake!
"Is she a child? She can't even apologize on her own? Or do you not think you are wrong at all? Or do you have a problem with the way the village chief handled the matter?"
"If it really doesn't work out, go back. When you divorce me, remember to let me know so I can make a couple of firecrackers and set them off!"
Duan Meihua was very dissatisfied.
If this happened in any other family, it would cause chaos. It would not count unless they gnawed a piece of Li Pandi's flesh off.
But her husband is the village chief after all. If they go too far, it will be difficult for them to manage the village in the future.
So even if he didn't want to forgive Li Pandi, he still had to forgive her.
I felt wronged just thinking about it, so my face looked very bad.
Chen Biantan tugged at Li Pand's sleeve, motioning him to say something.
Li Pandi took a deep breath. "I'm sorry!"
"I didn't hear it!" Duan Meihua closed her eyes.
Li Panli raised her voice again. "I'm sorry!"
Duan Meihua tilted her head, her eyes full of mockery. "I didn't expect your Li family's apology to be so empty."
Li Pandi has been domineering in the Chen family for so many years and has never been a good-tempered person.
In order to avoid being forced to divorce, she had been very patient, but this damned little bitch kept making things difficult for her! "Don't you see the gifts all over the table?"
Seeing Li Pandi angry, Duan Meihua was happy. Her headache was gone, her eyesight was no longer blurry, and her voice was even louder. "Humph, you didn't even give me the most basic apology. I don't feel your sincerity!"
"Duan Meihua, don't go too far!" Li Pandi jumped up and down.
Who did she think she was? She wanted Li Pandi to pour her tea? Why didn't she let her wash her feet?
"I'm going too far, but how can I be more excessive than you? You start talking nonsense as soon as your lips touch. If you don't fall for me, then get out!"
Then she yelled out the door again, "Huang Ping, Li Pandi said she'd rather be divorced than apologize to me. Please help them write the divorce papers."
"Shut up! When did I say I would rather be divorced? Don't talk nonsense." Li Pandi was furious, but she couldn't do anything to him!
"Oh, you know you can't talk nonsense, right? Then you're always talking to this person or that person all day long. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"You probably don't know, right? Speak bad words and you'll be thrown into a frying pan!"
Li Pandi was frightened by Duan Meihua and turned pale. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see the Black and White Impermanence standing in front of her.
Looking at his wife's expression, Chen Biantan was at a loss for what to do.
He doesn't want to be separated from his wife.
Although Li Pandi has various shortcomings and is a bit lazy and likes to eat and do nothing, he will argue even if he is not right, and will not let it go even if he is only partially right.
But they have been together for more than ten years and are accustomed to each other's presence. They are inseparable.
Besides, marrying a wife is so expensive nowadays. My family doesn't have that much spare money.
So he picked up the kettle on the table beside him, poured a glass of water, put it in Li Pandi's hand, and looked at him pleadingly.
Li Pandi angrily took the water cup. Although she was still a little unwilling, her attitude softened a lot. "Sister-in-law, I was definitely wrong about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have made up stories and gossiped about it, causing the villagers to misunderstand the village chief. And I shouldn't have hit you later."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I hope you can be generous and forgive me!" As she spoke, she actually started crying.
You know, Li Pandi has been very strong-willed since she was a child. Except when she gave birth, she never cried at other times.
Even Duan Meihua sat up in bed. "You, what do you mean? I didn't do anything to you, and you're so upset just because I asked you to apologize?"
"Chen Biantan, you can see for yourself that I didn't bully my wife."
People like Duan are soft-hearted and don't like to be tough.
If you confront her forcefully, she will argue with you to the end, but if you soften your attitude, she will soften herself first.
Seeing Li Pandi being so humble, Meihua's resentment had eased a lot. But now that she was crying, she couldn't help but wonder if she had gone too far.
It's just a few insignificant sour remarks. After all, if you're honest, you have nothing to fear. If they have a clear conscience, let them say what they want.
Besides, she beat Li Pandi pretty badly, and her left eye is still swollen.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I forgive you. But you must remember not to talk nonsense again in the future."
Li Pandi's left eye was hit quite badly. When Lin Yi applied medicine to her, he told her not to cry, otherwise it would easily become inflamed.
Although she didn't know what was causing the inflammation, she knew it was something bad. She had been very restrained, but for some reason she suddenly felt particularly aggrieved.
Seeing Duan Meihua forgive her, her tears flowed even more. "I know, I didn't mean to tell anyone. It's just that the day before yesterday, when I was coming back from my mother's house, I ran into Gu's eldest sister-in-law. She told me that she saw the village chief taking money from Jiayue to repair the house. She said it with all her heart, so I dared to tell anyone else."
The village chief happened to overhear these words. "Gu's eldest sister-in-law? Who?"
