However, Zhao's reaction made Mrs. Feng feel that she had won. She was extremely proud and not only refused to leave, but also kept talking nonsense and adding fuel to the fire.
"Oh, I think you're feeling guilty! I'm sure I was right! Your Lin family has always boasted of being the rich and powerful family in our village. You're afraid your status will be shaken, so you're deliberately tricking us into fleeing the famine!
By then, we'll all be left penniless, and wouldn't we have to curry favor with you? Wouldn't your family's position be even more secure?
Bah! What a joke! You can't judge a person by his appearance. Anyway, I'm the first one who doesn't believe this.
"The abbot has already said, 'I won't run away even though it's about to rain. Whoever wants to run away can run away! We're still fighting, and people are almost starving to death. What kind of war is this?'"
Xiao Lingdang was no stranger to this Mrs. Feng. She had never fought with her before because her own grandmother could easily crush her and she had no use for her at all.
But this time, Mrs. Feng bullied Grandma in front of so many people, so she couldn't just sit back and watch.
So little Lingling took a few steps, relying on her small stature, and quickly ran through the crowd to her grandmother, pointing at Mrs. Feng with her little finger and said angrily.
"You are bad! You are the one who is guilty! Your mouth stinks so much, did you fall into the toilet at night and didn't wash it clean?
Grandma said that people who love to tell lies will have all their teeth fall out! Then you won’t be able to eat meat even if you have it. You’ll be so greedy, hum, lululu...”
Little Lingling put one hand on her waist in a menacing manner, pointed at Mrs. Feng with the other hand, and puffed out her cheeks, looking fierce and aggressive. Feeling unsatisfied, she made a face at Mrs. Feng.
For her, not being able to eat meat is the cruelest punishment, so she is extremely proud of it.
This move successfully made Mrs. Feng so angry that she fell backwards, but it also made Zhao and the others laugh out loud.
"Oh, grandma's little darling! How can you be so cute! Hahaha, our little bell is right, people who love to tell lies will lose all their teeth! Without teeth, they can't eat meat! Hahahaha."
Mrs. Feng was so angry that she was shaking. In her decades of life, this was the first time she was scolded by a baby who was still breastfeeding. She immediately rushed forward and wanted to hit the child.
Seeing this, the Lin family members all rushed to Zhao and Xiao Lingdang, and even the four brothers were not left behind.
"What are you doing! Old witch, don't bully my sister!"
"That's right! I'll beat up anyone who dares to bully my sister!"
"You're such an ugly and unreasonable old woman! No wonder everyone calls you Old Lady Feng! You're so old, are you still thinking of laying hands on my two-year-old sister? You have no shame, lolololol!"
Mrs. Feng was so angry that she gasped for breath. She felt her vision getting darker and her words became even more out of control.
"You, you little bitch! You're only two years old and you're already so vicious! Zhao, is this how you usually teach your children? You're definitely not a good person!"
If this old lady Feng had scolded herself, Zhao would not have been so angry, but since she scolded her granddaughter, she could not let her off so easily.
Zhao took three or four steps and came up to her. Before Mrs. Feng could react, she swung her arms left and right and slapped her twice.
Zhao was used to doing rough work and had strong hands. With these two blows, she made Feng Po's face swollen.
In the past, the two of them would at most have a quarrel or curse at each other. This was the first time they had fought. Mrs. Feng was stunned and looked at Zhao in disbelief.
"You, you dare to hit me?"
When Mrs. Feng thought that Zhao dared to hit her in front of the whole village, anger surged in her heart. She immediately stood up and was about to rush over to fight back. Everyone hurried to help separate them.
The scene instantly became chaotic, with curses coming one after another, including some obscene words that were unbearable to hear.
The village chief was already unhappy about the famine, and now he couldn't hold it back anymore. He pushed the two groups of people away and shouted with a dark face, "Enough! It's already late, and you're still going crazy here!"
Zhu Zheng has been the village chief for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has gotten so angry. Everyone was afraid to act recklessly for a while and stood aside obediently.
Even Mrs. Feng just glared at Zhao with resentment, but did not dare to make trouble anymore.
The village chief swept his cold eyes over everyone and sighed after a long while.
"I know you're worried and concerned, but you have to use your brains! You can choose not to believe the Lin brothers, but you can't make random accusations.
Whether your family is rich or not, the Lin family has not taken advantage of you by a penny. Is it necessary for them to deceive everyone with such a thing?
They are willing to remind everyone out of kindness. Even if they just left without saying a word, who would know?
When the time comes, whether natural disasters continue or wars come to us, what does it have to do with them?
So, everyone, use your brains. You may not appreciate it, but don't let it get you down. Since you all don't believe me, I'll send a few people to the county tomorrow to inquire about the situation. We'll make a decision then!
If you still don't want to escape in the end, no one will force you. After all, your legs are on your bodies. If you don't want to leave, who can force you?
Okay, let's all go away. Stop standing here. It's annoying to watch people. "
Seeing that the village chief had already thought of a solution, no one could say anything more, no matter how dissatisfied or unwilling they were.
After all, the village chief didn't owe them anything. What if they were pushed too far and followed the Lin family? What would they do if no one cared about them?
So, even Mrs. Feng had no choice but to obey and turned around to walk out.
I don’t know if it was because there were too many people, and they were pushing and shoving each other, and someone was walking carelessly, but there was a scream, and I saw a group of people falling down and piling up in a pile.
Everyone quickly helped each other to stand up. Only Mrs. Feng, who was pressed at the bottom, was crying and screaming. Two big men were unable to help her up.
The village chief was so distressed by her crying that he took a few steps forward and asked impatiently, "What's wrong? You can't even walk?"
When everyone heard what the village chief said, they quickly made way for her. When the village chief got closer, he found that Mrs. Feng was sitting on the ground, crying bitterly while looking at the bloody tooth in her hand.
Everyone grinned, and some people kept looking at Xiao Lingling in the yard with complicated expressions.
Zhao subconsciously protected the child behind her, but also walked forward to take a curious look.
It turned out that Mrs. Feng had actually fallen and hit the stone bench on the right side of the door. Several teeth were knocked out, and her hands and mouth were covered in blood. It was really scary to look at.
The village chief hurriedly called out, "Alright, stop crying. Send her back quickly, and then go to the next village to ask Doctor Chen to come and take a look!"
After hearing what the village chief said, everyone helped the person up and prepared to send her back.
Mrs. Feng was in great pain, but she stared viciously at the little bell behind Zhao, sobbing and saying something, but because she had no teeth, her words were unclear.
