Chapter 187 The Village Chief Mediates

Su Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw so many villagers coming. After Shen Zian and Li Shi arrived, she was sure that she could take Liu Si Niang away. Now, when she heard others shouting that the head of the village was coming, she only thought that there were really no secrets in the countryside at that time. If something happened in someone's family, everyone would rush over to watch the excitement. She had experienced this several times before, but at that time, it was related to her personally, so she felt helpless. But now, she is really grateful to those people who remembered to call the head of the village after watching the excitement, which really saved her from having to ask others to invite him again.

"I'm telling you, Zhao Li! Why did you hit your daughter-in-law again? You even hit Zi'an's wife as well. This is too outrageous!"

The village head walked in with a stern face. His family lived on the west side of the river, separated by a river. If there was a little noise here, it could be heard there. He was walking on the road in front of the door when he heard someone calling him, saying that there was another fight in Zhao Daliang's family. This time, not only the mother-in-law beat the daughter-in-law, but also Zi'an's wife. He rushed over immediately after hearing it. As soon as he entered the door, he scolded the old lady Li first, and even called her rudely.

Old Lady Li was unhappy when she heard this and said, "Village head, it is only natural for me to beat my daughter-in-law. As for Zi'an's wife, I didn't even touch her hair. You can't wrongly accuse her! It was her little wolf cub who bit my daughter. You have to stand up for us, an orphan and a widow!"

Zhao Xiaohua screamed in pain even louder.

The village head saw that there was a tear on Zhao Xiaohua's pants, and blood was seeping out of it. But he didn't feel sorry for her at all, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Zhao Li! That's a holy beast, how can you call it a little wolf cub? You have to know that if a holy beast bites someone, even if it kills someone, you can only say that you are unlucky! Besides, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are usually so obedient. They have never bitten anyone before, so why did they bite Xiao Hua today? Do you want to beat them up?"

Mrs. Li then remembered that the two little wolves that were being interrogated in Chapter 187 were the cubs of the Holy Beast, and they were different from ordinary dogs and wolves. They could not be scolded casually, let alone beaten. Even if the Holy Beast killed one or two people, the government would not care. If someone beat it, the government would arrest the person. In other words, if the Holy Beast killed someone, that was the person's life. Unless it killed too many people, it might be caught by the government and raised. This is a truth that almost all the people in Liangguo who know about the Holy Beast know.

Now Xiaobai bit Zhao Xiaohua, but it was just a bite, no one would do anything to Xiaobai, not to mention that the Zhao family was not well-liked by the people of Hebian Village. Xiaobai was loved by most people in Hebian Village, and almost fell to the ground. Everyone thought the same as the head of the village, that it must be because Zhao Xiaohua fought against Xiaobai that Xiaobai bit her.

When old lady Li saw someone asking her if they were going to beat Xiao Bai, she said it was wrong for them to beat the holy beast. She thought to herself, how could Xiao Bai be the holy beast that killed its cubs? It seems that Shen Zian and his wife didn't pay for the medical expenses, and no one said they were wrong. Their daughter could only be bitten by Bai.

"Li Zheng, how dare we hit Xiao Bai? We didn't touch it at all."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said that she did not want to be known as someone who beat the Holy Beast. Although the Holy Beast could not be considered a god in the hearts of the people of Liang, if she reported the matter to the government, the government would certainly take care of it.

Xing'er said, "You kicked Xiao Hei and made him roll on the ground for several times. Xiao Bai bit him."

Zhao Xiaohua sobbed and said, "It bit my skirt. I was also scared. You can't blame me."

Zhao Daliang stepped forward and said, "Village head, this is just a small misunderstanding. Xiaohua accidentally slapped Xiaohei, and now she's been bitten. Let's not dwell on this matter anymore. Let Xiaohua go back to her room and clean the wound first. It won't be good if it leaves a scar."

Old Lady Zhao saw Dazhu's wife standing in the crowd and asked her to come over and help Zhao Xiaohua back to her room. Dazhu's wife was reluctant, as she wanted to watch the fun from the side. But she had no choice but to go over and help Zhao Xiaohua up and take her back to her room. She wanted to come back later, but she was very interested in Zhang Qingniang who was standing next to her.

After the crying Zhao Xiaohua left, the room finally became quieter. Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Si Niang again. Seeing the wound on her head, they thought she was beaten again. She was really miserable. Everyone looked at the Zhao family with contempt and blame. They all knew how diligent and docile Liu Si Niang was.

The head of the village asked sternly, "Daliang, when did you come back? Why is your wife injured again?"

Zhao Daliang bowed awkwardly and said, "I arrived home yesterday, when it was already dark. I am really ashamed to have disturbed the head of the village and the villagers so early in the morning. Si Niang's injury was an accident. It was not like what you heard, that she was beaten by our family."

The village head turned to Su Zhi and asked, "Mrs. Zi'an, were you beaten here?"

Su Zhi glanced at the Zhao family and said, "No, but just now I was trying to take Si Niang to my house, and they stopped me and pulled me a few times. They pushed Yue Yue down, and she started crying."

"They pushed Mom, pulled Aunt Liu, and pushed Yueyue. Yueyue is in pain!"

Yueyue blinked her big misty eyes and said aggrievedly, and with this blink, the tears in her eyes turned into beads and fell down. The sound was so soft and pitiful that made people want to pick her up and comfort her.

"How can you push a kid? Look how scared the kid is!"

"That's right! Her eyes have turned red from crying, and there's still dirt on her clothes. I don't know how hard she fell, or how hard she was pushed."

"Zi'an's wife wants to take Si Niang to her home. Why are they so anxious? They must be hiding something!"

"Look at Si Niang's head. No wonder she wants to leave with Zi'an's wife. What is the Zhao family thinking by not letting her leave?"

"Are you afraid of being embarrassed if you get seen? Now you are even more embarrassed..."

In just a short while, not only was the room full of people, but there were also quite a few people outside the door. Although it was still unclear what was going on, because the things the Zhao family had done in the past were so unkind, now everyone was on Liu Si Niang's side, and they were saying that the Zhao family was cruel and wanted to harm their daughter-in-law.

After hearing this, some people naturally noticed Zhang Qingniang. Such a beautiful woman with painted eyebrows and eyes and well dressed appeared here, and she was also supporting Old Lady Li. One could not help but think of her identity at a glance. When thinking of Liu Si Niang's injury, these villagers, no matter how simple-minded they were, guessed the identity of this woman. Immediately, their eyes became brighter. In the countryside where there is little entertainment, this kind of talk is the most welcome.

When Zhang Qingniang saw that people were talking about her, their eyes were as if they were looking at a vixen, she felt a little embarrassed, but she still suppressed her anger and smiled at the villagers, which made her look dignified and generous.

Old lady Li said to the head of the village: "Head, we didn't mean to push Yueyue. She is so cute, how could we push her? It was just that the adults were tugging at each other and she bumped into us."

Zhao Daliang said, "It's like this. Zi'an's sister-in-law wanted to take my wife away, but we thought it was inappropriate for Si Niang to go to their house, so we made excuses, and then we ran into the baby. It wasn't a fight as you said."

The village head said, "How did Si Niang get hurt? And why did Zi An's wife bring her to their home? There must be a reason behind this, right?"

Zhao Daliang was a little speechless. In his imagination, he made Liu Si Niang become a concubine from his wife. Even if Liu Si Niang was unwilling, she would be obedient. Then he would marry Zhang Qing Niang and let the people in the village know about it. Even if the people in the village talked about it, Liu Si Niang would not say anything, and others would not say anything either. Anyway, Liu Si Niang had been married to him for three years without any children. This alone could explain why she became a concubine. If his family did not divorce her, the people in the village should think that the Zhao family was kind and righteous.

But unexpectedly, Liu Si Niang was contrary to her usual docility this time, and insisted on not being a concubine. As a result, not only did he get hurt, but he also invited Zi An's wife to come. She even wanted to divorce him, and now she was making trouble again. In front of the villagers, if he said now that he wanted to demote his concubine to a concubine and marry another woman as his wife, the villagers would not know what to say to him. He didn't know how to start.

When Old Lady Li saw her son was silent, she stood up and said, "Liu Si Niang, that little bitch, has been married to our Zhao family for three years, but she hasn't laid a single egg. My son wanted to marry another wife to continue the family line, but this little bitch disagreed and caused such an injury that made people pity her. Zi'an believed her cries and wanted to take her away. She is a daughter-in-law of our Zhao family. If she doesn't stay here and wants to live in someone else's house, isn't this embarrassing for our Zhao family? Of course, we can't let her go."

Su Zhi heard that although Mrs. Li was vulgar, she would still speak in her favor. This was really beneficial to the Zhao family.

"Mrs. Zhao, why can't you tell the villagers that you want to make Si Niang a concubine? Why don't you say that Si Niang didn't want to be a concubine and would rather leave the house, but you didn't let her go and insisted on letting her be a concubine in your Zhao family, and you said that was your Zhao family's kindness. Si Niang didn't want your kindness, and you still didn't agree. Why didn't you say these things?"

As soon as Su Zhi said this, the discussion became louder, and everyone began to blame the Zhao family. Most of them only married one wife in their lifetime, not to mention taking a concubine, even taking a concubine was only done when it was absolutely necessary. However, no matter what, the first wife was more important, and now the Zhao family was actually going to demote the first wife to a concubine, which was unheard of in Hebian Village.

Li Shi looked at Liu Siniang, who was also looking at him, and then they looked away. Liu Siniang turned her face to the side to wipe her tears, and Li Shi's hands clenched into fists. rq!!!
