When Village Chief Wu heard this, he didn't care about etiquette and cursed directly: "Ignorant woman."
After saying this, he ignored Mrs. Wu's instantly livid face and turned to Wu Laoshi beside him and said, "I've said before that if anyone doesn't follow my requirements, then they won't get any share of the profits this quarter.
Honestly, I'm giving you a chance now. If you can handle this matter properly today, I'll ask He Xiucai and the others for mercy, and ask them to show some leniency. This quarter's share will still go to your family. If you can't handle this matter properly, then forget about your family's share in the future."
Before Wu Laoshi could say anything, Mrs. Wu said disdainfully, "What share of the profits? How much can you get from that share? I'm afraid that young man must have cheated you. He wants to trick us into working for nothing. We've been working for so long, and who in the village has received any wages?"
Village Chief Wu ignored her and just looked at Wu Laoshi, waiting for his answer.
Under the pressure of Village Chief Wu's gaze, Wu Laoshi couldn't do nothing, so he looked at Wu Lian and said to him, "Brother Lian, I know you are a good boy. Talk to the village chief and tell him that things are not like that. If we talk things out, we can also let the village chief and his family go back to eat earlier."
Upon hearing this, Wu Lian directly refused in a cold voice: "Grandpa, I won't listen to you this time. Do you want to look at the wound on my leg? The area around the wound is still black. If it weren't for Brother Shen who saved me, I would have died on the mountain. If you treat me badly again in the future, I will definitely not follow you anymore."
"You won't obey us?" Mrs. Wu screamed. "If you don't obey us, then who do you want to obey? That playboy who hangs out with men? Don't forget, you still live in our house, you eat our food and drink our drinks, what right do you have to disobey us?"
When Chen Zhen heard Mrs. Wu's vicious words, he couldn't stand it and wanted to go up and beat her up, but was stopped by He Jinshu.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen said angrily, "Ashu, don't stop me. How dare she say that to me? If I don't tear her mouth apart today, I won't be called Chen Zhen."
He Jinshu hugged Chen Chen's waist and said coldly: "Ah Chen, you don't have to go, let Brother Mo go."
After that, he whispered in Shen Zhen's ear: "You are a scholar's husband now, it's not right for you to hit someone so blatantly. If you want to hit her in the future, let's find a place where there is no one."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen stopped struggling and said to He Jinshu, "Then ask Brother Mo to slap her a few more times. If he doesn't make Mrs. Wu's face swollen, don't even think about eating the food I cook in the future."
Li Mo, who was standing aside, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. What a guy, he even threatened to eat. For the sake of his future enjoyment, he had to fight him. It turned out that there was a price to pay for watching the fun.
But since he is here, if he hears someone scolding his brother-in-law, he will definitely not ignore it, so this person must be beaten today.
So after receiving He Jinshu's eye signal, Li Mo walked forward and, before anyone could react, slapped Mrs. Wu 10 times, saying as he slapped her, "You deserve a slap for insulting a scholar."
After the fight, Li Mo retreated directly back to He Jinshu and the others.
Li Mo's martial arts skills were such that he certainly didn't hit her lightly. After Wu Pozi received five slaps on each side of her face, her cheeks immediately became red and swollen.
She was beaten by Li Mo until she was dizzy and her body was shaking and she could hardly stand. It was Wu Ergou's wife who was standing not far from her. After she came to her senses from Li Mo's beating, she hurried forward to support her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
When Mrs. Wu realized what had happened, she covered her swollen cheek with one hand and pointed at Li Mo with the other. Her face turned red with anger, but she didn't know what to say.
After being angry for a while, Mrs. Wu yelled at the other people in the family, "What are you still standing there for? Your mother has been beaten, why are you still hesitating? Go and beat her back."
Mrs. Wu gave birth to three sons and one daughter in her life. The three sons are Wu Dagou, Wu Ergou and Wu Sangou. They are all married and have children, and the daughter is also married.
There are currently 7 children in the family. The oldest is 14 years old and the youngest is 5 years old. Except for Wu Lian, who is a boy from Wu Ergou's family, and a 5-year-old daughter from Wu Sangou's family, the rest are all boys.
Although everyone in the family heard Mrs. Wu's roar at this moment, no one was willing to step forward. It was not that they did not want to fight, but Chen Zhen was standing there. In addition, Li Mo was also a martial artist. If they fought with Chen Zhen, they would have no chance of winning and would only be beaten.
The incident was caused by Wu Lian, so Wu Ergou persuaded Wu Pozi: "Mother, please calm down for a while. If you keep making trouble like this, when will it end?"
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became even more furious. She pointed at her own face and said angrily, "Am I the one who is causing this trouble? Look at how badly they've beaten my face. Are you still my son? Ah? You actually helped outsiders to accuse your mother, you bastard."
Wu Ergou knew his mother's temper very well. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, he stopped trying to persuade her and just stood there with a sullen face and didn't say anything.
By the time the farce was going on, the elders of the clan had already arrived, and with them came a group of villagers who came to watch the fun, some even coming with their bowls of rice.
Village Chief Wu looked at Wu Laoshi and said, "It's getting late now. We don't have time to waste time with you. Laoshi, tell me the truth. How do you want to deal with this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu snapped, "What do you mean by what to do? Why didn't you do anything about them beating up the village chief? Are you trying to climb up the social ladder because they're rich?"
"Shut up right there." Village Chief Wu cursed directly.
The main reason why Village Chief Wu was willing to talk to them for so long today was that he wanted to rectify the atmosphere in the village. More importantly, he wanted to establish his authority and make an example of someone else.
Village Chief Wu had been the head of Wujia Village for several years, and he had felt frustrated for several years. The main reason was that Wujia Village was too poor. When people are poor, they have the most troubles, and Wujia Village is a typical example.
Ever since he took office as the village chief, there have been many major and minor issues in the village. The annual grain tax has to be collected repeatedly, and even soldiers have to come into the village to collect grain (usually the villagers pay it to the county government themselves).
Not to mention the personalities of the villagers, they steal and gossip every day, and even over a vegetable in the field, two families can quarrel for half a day, and if the quarrel gets serious, it can even develop into a fight.
Even if they wanted to work outside, people were unwilling to hire people from Wujia Village because the villagers were afraid of being poor, so they always wanted to take advantage of small opportunities when working.
But as a landlord, who would be willing to hire a person who likes to take advantage of others to work? There are plenty of workers on the street, so there is no need to hire you.
Because of his habit of taking advantage of others, the villagers were often visited by others, which made Village Chief Wu lose face every time.
