Chapter 194 Liangjia Village is not easy to bully
Aunt Su's words stirred up a hornet's nest. It's true that everyone loves money and wants money - after all, who would complain about having too much money? But who can resist spitting when being scolded like this in person?
It was quite restrained not to rush forward and attack.
If she were a woman from the next village instead of a servant in a wealthy family in the city, someone would have gone up and pulled her hair.
Surrounded by a group of aunts and sisters, Su Mama was being scolded and spitted at her face. She was so angry that she wiped her face and tried to retort. As soon as she opened her mouth, the spit almost flew into her mouth. Su Mama was so scared that she quickly shut up. She couldn't think about it, she simply couldn't think about it. She was so disgusted that she covered her mouth and bent over, retching repeatedly.
The aunts and the ladies were all stunned.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know."
"This servant of a wealthy family is truly wicked. Did we scold her to death?"
"Bah, what does it have to do with us? I think she probably just had a stomachache."
"I think so too. Besides, if we scold her, she deserves it."
Nanny Su was in such a miserable state, she was dizzy from retching and her head was buzzing. There was no maid around to help her. She tried to hold herself together, but in the end she gave in and fell to the ground.
Just then, an inconspicuous little stone on the ground poked her tailbone. Nanny Su groaned in pain, her facial features twisted, and tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.
The aunts and ladies screamed and stepped back subconsciously.
"Why are you still crying? It's not that serious."
“It’s not me!”
"It's not me either."
"I didn't touch her!"
"None of us did anything to her. She fell down on her own."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Xu Zhichun almost laughed out loud. No matter what era it is, who wouldn't be afraid of being scammed?
To reassure everyone, Xu Zhichun looked at the four Qin family servants and said, "Four young men, you all saw it clearly, right? Madam Su from your house fell down on her own. It wasn't someone from our village who did it. People in our village are reasonable and don't use violence. No one laid a finger on her."
Everyone nodded, "Yes, yes, that's right!", "We didn't do anything!", "She cursed first, so why can't we argue with her?"
The four servants were so frightened that they nodded hurriedly.
Liang Lizheng wasn't home today; he'd gone to the fields to check on the rice and figure out how many days were left until harvest. It just so happened that his family had two plots of land very close to Xu Zhichun's, so Liang Lizheng stopped by to check on them and come back to let them know, saving Xu Zhichun the trouble of making another trip.
When someone ran over breathlessly to tell him that someone had entered the village to cause trouble for Madam Xu, Liang Lizheng was startled and hurried back.
It has just arrived.
"What's going on?"
Aunt Liang San had been accompanying Xu Zhichun the entire time. While Aunt Su was being scolded by all the women in the village, she had already found out what was going on with Xu Zhichun and explained it briefly to Liang Lizheng.
Liang Lizheng was even angrier and more anxious than Xu Zhichun. "Isn't this bullying? Our village finally had a young man who could study. How can you ruin him just because of a few words? Don't even think about getting to the bottom of this matter!"
Liang Lizheng promptly called seven or eight people on the spot and said, "Drive two ox carts and let's go to the Zeng family and get to know the truth."
Nanny Su suddenly felt something was wrong and hurried to her feet, ignoring the dull pain in her tailbone. "Our old father-in-law and his wife will not pursue the matter, but you still dare to come to our door? Don't think that we are afraid of you just because you have more people. The city is not like the countryside. It is not a place for you to run wild. If you don't do it, our father-in-law will file a complaint with the government!"
The expressions of many villagers changed.
The look he gave Su Ma also changed, with a hint of fear in it.
Even if this Nanny Su was just a servant, she was a servant employed by wealthy families in the city. How could they compare to her?
Thinking about how they had just scolded and spitted at her so vigorously, the ladies couldn't help but shrink back. If they hadn't been so eager to watch the fun, they would have definitely run home.
Liang Lizheng was not one to be frightened. He was also afraid that Xu Zhichun and his wife would be frightened by this nanny, so he first tried to comfort them with gentle words: "Zhichun and Mingxuan, don't be afraid. The county magistrate is a good official and he is reasonable. Don't believe what she says. She is just trying to scare us. We won't suffer this loss in silence. This matter must be clarified."
Turning to face Nanny Su, Liang Lizheng's face darkened and he was no longer so polite: "Don't threaten me. Even though I'm from the countryside, I'm not afraid of being scared! Everything is based on reason. You can't wrongly accuse Mingxuan of something he didn't do. People from Liangjia Village are not so easy to bully!"
As the head of the family, Liang Lizheng's righteous and stern speech won everyone's unanimous respect and admiration. Everyone felt warm, excited, cordial, and proud.
Because they knew very well that if they were the ones who were being troubled by outsiders today, Liang Lizheng would still support them.
They have a good head of household.
"That's right! We in Liangjia Village are not easy to bully!"
"Why are you wrongly accusing our people?"
"This matter must be made clear and clear!"
"Exactly!"
Nanny Su was really panicked this time. Why didn’t this trick work?
"Y-you can't do this!"
"Humph, can you have the final say? It's not your turn to intervene in our village's affairs."
“That’s right!”
"Aren't you afraid of seeing the officials?"
"What a joke! We weren't the ones who did the bad thing, so why should we be afraid?"
"Oh, don't say that. Isn't this guy guilty?"
"I think it must be!"
"She wrongly accused our little prodigy. Beat her to death!"
“Beat him to death!”
"Shut up, everyone! We're all reasonable people in this village. What do you mean by beating someone to death or not? Are you some barbaric savage from somewhere?"
The few younger youths who took the lead in the excitement shrank their heads and dared not say a word.
Aunt Su was so frightened that she almost fell down again.
The four Qin family servants were like quails, not daring to move at all. They even wanted to hide their breathing so that no one could see them.
The people in this village are so fierce and scary.
Zhang and Bai also squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun. Both of them pretended that they couldn't get close and didn't move forward. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for them not to come forward to help if Xu Zhichun and Nanny Su came into conflict.
Zhang, in particular, watched as the two sides refused to give in and engaged in a heated exchange of words. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and the villain in her heart kept jumping and shouting: Fight! Fight! Fight!
Unfortunately, Xu Zhichun prevailed in the end.
Zhang was very jealous and secretly cursed Nanny Su for being incompetent.
Look at that guy who looks so well-dressed and luxurious, but he turned out to be a useless wimp. He even comes from a wealthy family, bah!
Liang Lizheng was in charge and did not give Su Mama any chance to speak again. Soon everyone was ready, counted everyone, got on the car and went into the city.
Aunt Su was unwilling to give in, "You——"
"Madam Su," Xu Zhichun said, half-smiling, "If you say another word, we'll shut you up."
Nanny Su was angry but dared not speak.
