Liu Shile remained silent. She truly didn't want to meddle in other people's business. This world wasn't like the apocalypse, where people could die at any moment.
Even if the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in this family are bullied, their lives will not be in danger, so why should they meddle in their affairs?
Seeing the three men who seemed to have a strong sense of justice, she could only nod and say, "Alright, then we'll wait a bit."
Anyway, it was still early, and waiting a little longer wouldn't delay their return home, so they stood aside and watched the second and third branches of the Bai family fight fiercely, with the latter occasionally adding insult to injury.
Since these people enjoy bullying others so much, let them hurt each other first; the deeper the hurt, the happier she will be.
Having been in this world for so long, I haven't really seen much excitement. Every day it's just studying this and that, which is quite boring.
It's not bad to have a free show to watch, but they only use the same few fighting techniques and they're not very ruthless.
Glancing at the little boy beside her, Liu Shile flicked a few more pebbles out, this time with considerable force, which caused the boy to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
After finishing this, Liu Shile was about to say something when she saw Bai Zhuo whisper to the village chief and then run off.
It seems that this little one is quite clever; he probably doesn't want the two families to hurt each other and then both of them to rely on his family.
Liu Shile narrowed her eyes. She liked smart people who knew when to do what, unlike those stupid people who were impossible to predict.
Soon, Bai Zhuo arrived with his men, saying that the boy was clever, and he really was clever. He not only called the village chief, but also invited other village leaders and senior elders.
When the village chief saw the Bai family members in such a chaotic state, his face turned ashen. He immediately stepped forward and shouted at them to stop.
The Bai family members were fighting fiercely and didn't care what others were shouting. In the end, it was the village leaders and onlookers who arrived that pulled the fighting group apart.
At this moment, the Bai family members were in a terrible state. If it weren't for the thick winter clothes they were wearing, they would probably be covered in bruises.
As soon as they stopped, Bai Zhuo was about to speak when his grandfather, Bai Hua, pulled him back and began to talk about what had happened that day.
He was not young, and his life had not been good lately. Although he hadn't starved to death, things weren't much better, so he looked particularly pitiful at this moment.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, his younger brothers came to their door. He asked the village chief directly whether these people breaking into a commoner's home constituted burglary and asked everyone to uphold justice for his family.
To be honest, although their family used to live a good life, they were always kind to others, so the villagers didn't make things difficult for them, but their own family members were not soft-hearted at all.
The village chief cleared his throat, about to say something, when an elderly man who looked quite old spoke up, "Indeed, they didn't think things through."
The clan chief was highly respected in the village and was quite upright. In addition, the village chief was his junior, so he spoke first, and even the village chief couldn't do anything about it.
To be honest, what happened today was not unexpected for the village chief. After all, how could he not know what kind of person his distant relative was?
He just hadn't expected them to make such a big deal out of it, and that they would be the ones who suffered the most. When he first arrived, he could hardly believe his eyes.
For the first time, I felt that the second and third branches of the Bai family were incredibly stupid. They hadn't even achieved their goal yet, and they were already fighting amongst themselves so fiercely. What exactly were they here for?
Most of the people from the second and third branches of the Bai family were seriously injured, but it seemed to be only superficial injuries. They had no idea that these injuries would have lasting effects.
So when they heard the clan leader say that, they felt a little uncomfortable. This was a matter for the Bai family, what did it have to do with other people?
They were inconsiderate. What were they inconsiderate about? They found nothing at the boss's house and were seriously injured. The boss must compensate them.
So the second wife of the Bai family immediately started wiping away tears, and her words implied that since this happened at the eldest son's house, and they had both suffered such serious injuries, the eldest son's house must pay for their medical expenses and so on.
At this moment, the third wife of the Bai family also realized that since things had come to this point, the responsibility had to be shifted to the eldest son's family!
The daughters-in-law of both families also started wiping away tears. In an instant, the small courtyard was filled with the sound of crying, just like someone in the family had died.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, while someone else was wailing at a funeral, Bai Hua's face was ashen, and even the old lady of the Bai family, who had just been helped out by her granddaughter, looked pale and sickly.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a shrew and couldn't really yell at people; tears welled up in her eyes.
Pointing at them, he said urgently, "You came to my house to steal things on the first day of the Lunar New Year, got into a fight, and now you have the nerve to ask my family to pay for medical expenses? How can you bully people like this?"
"Clan chief, village chief, esteemed leaders, although our family's class background isn't good right now, we can't let people bully us like this. Please give our family justice!"
Honestly, if they were poor farmers, they could stand tall and no one would dare to bully them.
Unfortunately, their family used to be quite wealthy. Even though they treated their fellow villagers very well, there were still some people who couldn't stand to see them doing well and tried to sabotage them.
Yes, it wasn't the villagers who were causing trouble, but the second and third branches of the Bai family. They were a bunch of ungrateful wretches!
The old lady regretted it, but it was too late. There was no use in regretting it. She could only swallow her anger. What else could she do?
“Sister-in-law, you’re wrong. We came here with good intentions to see you and advise you to turn over a new leaf and start anew. If you appreciated our kindness, would we be fighting here?”
Look at my face, my hands, and my children. They're so young, and they're all so badly injured. Shouldn't you take responsibility?
Bai San's wife pitifully wiped away her tears. Unfortunately, she was in a terrible state, with disheveled hair and an old age. Her clothes were also covered in mud from the fight, making her look so wretched that it was truly unbearable to look at.
Wang Guangjie and the others stood silently to the side, wanting to see how these people planned to deal with them.
"Bai Er, Bai San, tell your wives to shut up! What are they yelling about during the New Year?" The clan chief, his head throbbing with pain, immediately reprimanded them.
Liu Shile rolled her eyes. These people were really dawdling. They were already here, so they should hurry up and deal with things so they could leave.
Just as she was thinking this, the village chief spoke up, but his words were biased towards her, while the clan chief and the leaders of the faction stood aside without saying a word.
It's not that they don't want to help, but they can't help openly, since the Bai family's background is really bad.
Finally, the village chief announced that Bai Lao's family should each give Bai Er and Bai San's families twenty yuan for medical expenses.
