Chapter 9 Mom, you're so amazing!
The people of Tangjia Village were also filled with grievance and anger. They had contributed the majority of the money back then, while the people of Zhaojia Village were much poorer than them.
Over the years, they have received financial benefits from irrigating fields in several other villages because of the irrigation canal.
It has only been over the past ten years or so that Zhao Family Village has gradually improved.
Little Su Bao glared angrily at Village Chief Zhao, the little toddler wishing he could rush over and beat him up.
"Hmph! These two are people your village hired, aren't they! How come you're so ruthless now? Taking my husband's life wasn't enough, you want my son's too?"
Madam Qian felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about what had just happened, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Su Bao. She had almost lost her eldest son and grandson.
"I don't know what you're talking about. When two villages fight, neither side benefits. Besides, you two don't have anything to do with each other!"
Village Chief Zhao pursed his lips and said that he actually really wanted to take this opportunity to kill Tang Cheng.
In that case, there would be no way to prove that he took fifty taels of silver back then...
Besides, in a group fight, the law does not punish the many, so even if the authorities come, there's nothing they can do.
"If you want to make a big fuss, we're not afraid. Anyway, no one wants to marry the girls and boys in your village. I think once the people in your village are locked up, who will want to marry someone from your village!"
Village Chief Zhao snorted coldly, "No one's been killed anyway!"
Such things happen far too often here!
It's a common saying that if the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate. If they do complain, most of the time the officials will just give both sides the blame equally!
Besides, they're located deep in the mountains, so even if they wanted to go out and file a complaint, it wouldn't be easy...
The faces of everyone in Tangjia Village were rather grim. They looked at each other, and couldn't help but glance at Tang Cheng.
Is their village chief really going to report them?
However, no one spoke up at this time. Here, if you're not united, anyone can kick you while you're down.
The elderly were worried, and the young men and women were also filled with sorrow.
The little bundle of milk that Mrs. Qian was holding looked around, and she got angry!
"Don't be angry, Mom. Bad people will get their comeuppance!" Little Su Bao patted Qian Shi's back and said in a soft and sweet voice.
Looking at her youngest daughter, Madam Qian's heart softened considerably.
She turned her head and looked at Village Chief Zhao's disgusting face, then sneered, "My daughter is right, people like you will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
Village Chief Zhao sneered, "I'd like to see how you'll get your revenge on me. Our village is doing just fine now, but your village... tsk tsk, you're dirt poor now. I bet you'll be wiped out in a few years!"
Little Su Bao was startled and immediately widened her eyes.
He was unusually fierce: "You're talking nonsense!"
She finally had a mother, a brother, and other relatives; she didn't want this village to be destroyed!
Little Su Bao's eyes were red, and she held onto Qian Shi's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Qian was immediately heartbroken and rushed over. Before Village Chief Zhao could react, Qian raised her hand and gave him a large brush.
"You think I've been cultivating my character and stopped hitting men all these years? You think that's it?!" Qian was extremely vicious, and the villagers from both villages fell silent instantly.
They remembered a rumor...
Qian was actually a bandit in the mountains before...
"Widow Qian, you old bastard..." He wanted to curse again, but Qian gave him another large sum of money.
Village Chief Zhao was stunned. His face quickly turned red and then swelled up, making him look extremely pitiful.
"You're a perfectly normal person, why do you only have a mouth? If you can't speak, then don't speak. If you make my little girl unhappy again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Qian Shi waited for Village Chief Zhao, and when she saw that he really didn't dare to speak, she snorted coldly.
Suddenly she remembered something...
Hmm... she originally wanted to be a loving mother!
Ms. Qian quickly looked at Xiao Su Bao, feeling a little uneasy.
Will their little Su Bao not like her doing this?
If Su Bao doesn't like her fierce appearance, should she change it?
Ms. Qian was mentally preparing herself, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Su Bao at this moment.
Suddenly, Ms. Qian felt a tiny paw on her hand. Looking down, she saw the baby's adorable eyes staring at her.
"Mom, you're so amazing!" Little Su Bao looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes, her eyes full of admiration.
This made Qian a little embarrassed, and her old face turned slightly red.
“Mother, this is nothing. Your grandfather back then was truly formidable…” Qian Shi said, then sighed again.
Village Chief Zhao was furious watching the mother and daughter chatting idly as if no one else was around, but he really didn't dare to make a move.
"Hmph, since you're so powerful, the people of Tangjia Village are not allowed to use this irrigation canal anymore!" After saying that, Village Chief Zhao turned and left!
Tang Shan raised his foot to kick, but Qian Shi slapped his big foot down.
Turning around, he kicked Village Chief Zhao while holding Xiao Su Bao!
Village Chief Zhao was surprised that Qian would be so uncivilized, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Ah... Widow Qian, I'll never let you get away with this!" Village Chief Zhao was furious, so angry that he wanted to come over and beat up Qian!
Unfortunately, despite their elaborate schemes, they failed this time.
He glanced back at the two people lying on the ground, and a thought struck him...
At that moment, one of them had blood streaming from his head, while the other stared wide-eyed, utterly terrified...
Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao simply ignored them and left with the people of Zhao Family Village.
The people of Tangjia Village returned to the village with grim faces, and were all stunned...
This bachelor's peach tree has actually blossomed!
Strange things happen every year, but why are there so many today?
Everyone looked at Tang Cheng; he was their village chief.
The older generation all know that the main reason the Tang family came to this small village was because of this peach tree.
"Brother Cheng, with these peach trees in bloom, does that mean our village is about to prosper?" Tang Yan asked.
Tang Yan was the grandson of the Qian family's father-in-law and brother, and was considered a cousin of the Tang family.
He has a good relationship with the Tang brothers. He's only sixteen this year and is considered an unwanted kid.
"Ayan, stop making a scene! Can't you see your cousin is still injured? Why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Yan's father couldn't help but say.
Tang Yan scratched his head, but still looked at Tang Cheng expectantly.
"Village chief, what are we going to do about this irrigation ditch? Our rice has just been planted, and we'll definitely need more water!" Some villagers were still worried about the irrigation ditch.
Before long, the village entrance became noisy. No one blamed Tang Cheng for being wrong; they were just worried about what would happen in the future.
"I'll go back and look for that receipt first. If all else fails..." Tang Cheng paused for a moment, then suddenly became very determined: "We'll dig the irrigation ditch ourselves. I'll figure out how to get the money!"
Madam Qian raised an eyebrow and glanced at her unruly son, then rubbed her temples. "Why does this thing only know how to cause trouble?"
Don't you have any idea what your own family situation is like?
Is there any other way? Besides carrying heavy loads to earn money, what else can he do?
Besides, the Tang family is strange; they only have a little bad luck in the village, but if they go outside, they'll be even more unlucky...
Only my unmarried uncle has managed to survive in the town all these years, and even that has been extremely difficult!
Yes, now there's Tang Si too, but the two of them always look fine when they come back, just a little thinner...
The villagers of Tangjia Village stopped making things difficult for Tang Cheng and his group. Everyone was busy with spring planting and fighting, and they were still hungry!
Qian didn't say anything, glanced at Tang Cheng, and turned to go back to the Tang family.
As soon as Tang Cheng entered the door, he grabbed his ears with both hands and knelt down in the courtyard.
