Noticing that his sister was in a rather low mood, Chen Daming took the initiative to comfort her.

"Third sister, don't think too much. Look at the son you have now. He is at least a smart and sensible child. Our family will work harder to train this son, let him go to school more, read more books, and pass the imperial examination. Then he will definitely become very promising. As long as he becomes an official, you will be the wife of an official..."

Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help laughing when she heard her eldest brother say this.

Because what her eldest brother said was the big cake she usually drew for her eldest brother, mother, and other brothers.

"Brother, I understand. I have the same idea now. Be patient and hold on."

"When this son grows up and becomes successful, I will have finally made it..."

Just when the two of them were talking happily, Chen Daming suddenly heard his sons roaring.

Chen Xuanxuan didn't have time to react to the strange noises. Chen Daming immediately called Chen Xuanxuan's man.

"Gu Yanzhang, something happened outside, get out quickly!"

After saying that, he ran outside.

As soon as he ran out of the door, he saw a scene that made him very angry.

He saw seven or eight strange men running into their large yard.

Moreover, some of them were beating his three sons. The other men, however, kept pulling his two nieces.

Seeing that they were not going to stop, they were definitely going to force his two nieces out of the house.

Chen Daming found the group of people in front of him very familiar, and he didn't think much about it. He picked up a shoulder pole and rushed

in. At this time, Gu Yanzhang also ran out of the house.

Seeing such a chaotic situation in front of him, he took the kitchen knife and started chopping without thinking.

Five men against eight men, it was really hard to tell who was winning for a while.

Chen Xuanxuan was standing aside, and they were fighting together, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who. She was very anxious.

"What's going on?"

"Whose family are you robbers from?"

"Who told you to come to our house?"

Chen Xuanxuan's voice was particularly loud. She yelled loudly, and soon attracted people from the whole village.

Seeing that such a big thing happened to Gu Yanzhang, and noticing that all those who came to fight were a group of unfamiliar strangers, some members of the Gu family couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and started to help Gu Yanzhang beat people.

And the group of Wang family members who came to rob people saw that more and more people with the surname Gu came. They were very anxious in their hearts.

"Dad, if we had known earlier, we should have called more people!"

With that, the man nicknamed "Brother Wen", his most slippery son, ran away with his head tucked in.

The reason for his leaving was very simple, he just wanted to go back and call people.

However, it was particularly easy for the Gu family to deal with this group of outsiders.

In less than ten minutes, the group of Wangs were pinned to the ground.

"Tell me! What are you doing here? Are you here to steal things or to rob people?"

After hearing these words, the Wang family's bachelors were silent.

They couldn't hold it back any longer, and someone shouted angrily.

"You people with the surname Gu, why are you so arrogant? If you have the guts, beat us to death now!"

"..."

Seeing that these people from Wangjia Village were particularly crazy, the men from Gujiagang couldn't help but start fighting.

Good boy.

They have never heard of anyone having such a request in their lives.

Since they like being beaten so much, they will teach them a lesson today.

So, when the village chief of Wangjia Village, along with half of the males of Wangjia Village, came over in a mighty procession, they saw with their own eyes those pig-headed people.

"Hey, fellows, what are you doing?"

"Why are you beating people up?"

"No matter how powerful we are in Wangjia Village, we are not the kind of people who can be easily bullied..."

Seeing them like this, the people of Gujiagang hurriedly started to talk to them.

"Stop pretending!"

"Everyone in this area knows that all the women in your family were kidnapped, sold, or deceived."

"Since you can't get a wife, you're eyeing the girls in our village?"

"In broad daylight, you dare to come to our village in groups of three or five and rob the girls. Is there any law for this?!"

"You were wrong first, but now you are blaming others. Do you think we, the Gu family, are easy to bully?"

As they talked, the people from the two tribes started to quarrel.

The people from Wangjia Village came here well prepared. Most of them carried kitchen knives on their waists and machetes or hatchets in their hands.

A group of young men from Gujiagang felt something was wrong when they saw the situation. They quickly called all the people in the village, some with kitchen knives, some with machetes, and even sickles and hoes.

"What's the matter? Are you going to have a bloody fight with us today?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang quickly pushed his wife and several young ladies into the house.

Today's matter is between the grandfathers.

It's better for women not to get involved.

If the kitchen knife is exposed, blood will be seen.

Therefore, after Gu Yanzhang closed the door tightly, he locked it with special vigilance.

However, he also had a good opportunity.

After finishing these things, he suddenly saw his elder and younger brothers-in-law, along with dozens of men from Chenjia Village, rushing over with great momentum.

The men of Wangjia Village were very confident. Because they relied on the large number of males in their family, they thought that their family would never suffer losses in a fight with the men of Gu's family.

However, once the men of Chenjia Village intervened, their temperament changed.

Because Chenjia Village is a prosperous and deep-rooted tree in their area. Many generations of ancestors have produced many scholars.

Some of their relatives and friends have become local officials.

Although those officials are small officials. But county officials are not as good as current officials.

Those small officials are actually people who ordinary people like them cannot afford to offend.

For example, they have to pay two taxes and head tax every year.

If the tax officials insisted that the grain they ordered was not enough, that the grain they paid was moldy, or that the people in Wangjia Village deliberately concealed the population,

then it would not be difficult to force all the villagers to death.
