"Gu Hong was able to become a general not because of you, because he sacrificed his life on the battlefield. He earned his military merits with his blood, water, and sweat. I was able to become a county lord not because of you. It was me who discovered the method of making water. It was me who discovered potatoes! I saved countless people, and I saved you too!"
Shen Ningcun had walked to the door at some point. Although his face looked a little weak, his words were resounding and powerful.
"I... since you saved us, why are you still nitpicking with us now? My son already knows he was wrong!"
Wang Er's mother looked like she was being unreasonable.
The village head watched from the side and shook his head. What else could he not understand at this moment? Because he wanted to embezzle a pearl, Wang Er actually wanted to kill Gu Yuner!
"Haha... you know you're wrong? San Yazi, tie him up and throw him into the river!"
Shen Ningsi didn't want to mess around with this kind of person and hurt the people she cared about, so she would make him pay with blood!
"Yes, ma'am!"
Sanyazi walked over, picked up Wang Er and walked outside.
"Hey, you bastards, my son..."
Wang Erniang hurriedly chased after him.
Shen Ningsi originally didn't want to argue with her, but Wang Er's mother never thought that her son had done anything wrong. Instead, she thought that Shen Ningsi and the others were being unreasonable.
Therefore, there was no need for her to be polite with these people.
Wang Er's mother chased for a while and then hurried back. She knew that Shen Ningsi had the final say in this matter!
"Sisi, your leg is still injured, why did you come out?"
When Gu Hong saw Sanyazi taking the person away, his anger subsided a little, and he hurried over to support Shen Ningsi.
"Didn't she want to reason with me? Naturally, I came out to help her!"
Shen Ningsi looked at the woman who walked in from outside with an indifferent expression.
The reason why she came out was actually because she was worried that Gu Hong's involvement with these village women would affect his career in the future and cause him to be criticized by others.
If word got out that the general was arguing with these ignorant village women, what would the people in the court think? How would he survive in the military camp in the future?
Moreover, it will also affect the cultivation of literature and martial arts.
"Chen Ningsi, what do you want? If anything happens to my son, I will never let you go! I will go to the capital to file a complaint!"
Wang Er's mother was a little confused for a moment and said a few random words.
"Go ahead and file a complaint. Even if this matter reaches the current emperor, it will be your son's attempt to murder someone for money! The laws of our great Zhao Kingdom will show no mercy to such unruly people!"
Shen Ningsi spoke coldly. She felt a headache when she saw this woman!
"Wang Er's mother, I used to call you aunt, but from now on, our two families will keep their distance from each other. Our past friendship ends here today! As for the matter Wang Er mentioned, I'll have him sent to the county magistrate later. Official matters will be handled impartially! If you still dare to continue to entangle here, I'll send you all to the county government office!"
Gu Hong spoke in a cold tone, with a frosty look on his face.
When Wang Er's mother saw the cold expression on his face, she also felt guilty.
"Mrs. Wang Er, everyone knows who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Don't make such a fuss here. If you really anger General Gu, he will be forgiven for killing your son on the spot! After all, Yun'er is a daughter of an official!"
The village head now knew that he could no longer stand idly by.
"Gu Hong's family has done so much for us in Wanning Village! We couldn't even get enough to eat before, but now we can have meat every few days! If we offend them badly this time, they'll move away, and then our Wanning Village will be ruined!"
The head of the village showed an expression of disappointment on his face and looked at the villagers around who were watching the fun.
After hearing what he said, the villagers who were watching the fun suddenly realized what was going on!
"Yes, it's clearly your Wang Er's fault for what happened to Wang Er Niang. You should sincerely apologize to General Gu and the others!"
"That's right, that's right. Last time, a few kids just stole some water from your house, and you demanded triple the compensation and even asked for placenta! General Gu was very generous not to come after you when he came back!"
The villagers immediately changed their stance.
Wang Er's mother didn't expect that the villagers would scold her like this!
"Wang Erniang, your family is narrow-minded and vicious. I think we should kick you out of Wanning Village!"
The villagers talked to each other, and then secretly looked at Gu Hong and Shen Ningsi, hoping to see approval in their eyes.
However, the two of them still stood there, with expressions of neither sadness nor joy on their faces, making it impossible to tell what they were thinking at the moment.
"Xiu Wen, Xiu Wu, you must remember that in this world, strength is everything. If you're useful to them, then even if you're wrong, you're still right. Just now, they were watching coldly from the sidelines with the look of weakness, but now that their own interests are involved, they've all changed their attitude."
Shen Ningsi spoke slowly and without any mocking expression on his face.
She understands human nature too well, or rather, she understands the people in Wanning Village too well!
"Mom, we got it."
The two little guys nodded seriously, and at the same time, their belief in becoming stronger became stronger.
Only if they become stronger can they better protect their mother and sister.
“I…I…”
Wang Er's mother naturally knew that she was in the wrong. Seeing countless villagers blaming her, she immediately knelt down.
"Gu Hong, no no no... General Gu! You grew up with Wang Er, so please forgive him this time!"
Wang Er’s mother saw that the hard approach didn’t work, so she had to try the soft approach!
Then there was the sound of kowtows, the force was so strong that the forehead began to swell up in a short while.
The expression on Gu Hong's face was still very cold.
"Fuck you, stop using this self-torture trick on me. I won't fall for it! Last time, Xiuwu just took a little water from you, and you wanted to beat and kill me. Now you want to kill my child. Let the county magistrate handle this matter!"
Gu Hong waved his hand. At this moment, he really disliked all the villagers in the room.
If this wasn't the place where he was raised, if...if Shen Ningsi agreed to leave with him, he would never return to Wanning Village in his life!
"Get Wang Er's mother out of here! Stop embarrassing yourself by staying here!"
When the village head saw the undisguised disgust in Gu Hong's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
