"Oh, I thought it was someone else."
"Sir, isn't this your ungrateful, heartless eldest son who has severed ties with you and abandoned you?"
An affected, pretentious voice rang out.
Li Lanzhen, you don't even need to look to know she's the vixen the old village chief brought home.
Her words drew the attention of those around her.
In this dynasty, failing to support one's parents was considered a grave act of filial impiety, and was condemned by the world.
This woman's intentions are truly sinister!
Han Shunde's face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists.
You, you, you rambled on for ages but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.
The old village chief was taken aback by the woman's words.
After a moment of surprise, she calmly walked past Han Shunde, treating him as if he were invisible.
Li Lanzhen had no intention of letting them go, and she shouted loudly as well.
"Oh, who do we have here! It's you, you shameless vixen, eager to become someone's concubine, and you even have a child to take care of."
He drove away someone's wife who had shared his hardships, his two sons, his grandson, and his granddaughter.
They've taken someone else's man and property, and now they shamelessly make a scene here!
Where's your face? It's either too thick, thicker than the bend in the city wall of Youzhou!
Or maybe they've lost all sense of shame and thrown it into a stinking ditch like a rag!
Li Lanzhen stood there with her hands on her hips, and her slow and deliberate words immediately guided the people around her.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the woman.
The woman, who was in her 40s, wore a long pink dress, her face was covered with a layer of white powder that made her look deathly pale, with two patches of red rouge on her cheeks, lipstick on her lips, and a silver hairpin in her hair. She swayed her waist like a water snake.
The analysis is complete; she is indeed a vixen!
He doesn't look like the type to live a frugal life.
After listening to Li Lanzhen's words, she actually usurped the man's wife and children and drove them away!
So everyone looked at her with disdain and whispered among themselves.
Several women even spat at her.
"You're a real scoundrel, turning the tables on us. If we didn't know the truth, we would have wronged you, young man."
The old village chief, enraged, turned around and yelled at Han Shun, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing standing here? You shameful wretch!"
The old village chief glanced at Li Lanzhen and then asked Han Shunde.
"Where did you register your residence? Were you scattered across different villages and towns?"
Han Shunde turned his head and said, "We've sealed off the entire village of Lishu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him gasped and began to whisper among themselves.
"Pear Tree Village, oh dear, how could I be assigned there?"
“That village was wiped out by villains.”
"Yes, yes, I heard that village is very unlucky."
"That's right. The village has little land. The old village chief of Lishu Village was a good man, but there was so little land in that village that even after a year of hard work, they still couldn't get enough to eat."
The old village chief and the fox spirit looked at Li Lanzhen with schadenfreude upon hearing this.
"Lanzhen, it's good that we're all grouped together. Being poor isn't so bad. Aren't you all very capable? Keep up the good work. If you don't have enough to eat, just go up the mountain and pick some wild vegetables."
Sanwang clenched his fists angrily, ready to confront him.
Li Lanzhen stopped him, and I really wanted to punch his smug old face!
He deliberately frowned and said, "Yes, old village chief, we have no choice but to eke out a living in this small village."
After saying that, he led the way down the steps and squeezed out of the crowd.
After getting away from the crowd, Sanwang said to Li Lanzhen.
"Auntie, why didn't you let me speak just now? That old village chief is simply a petty person who has gotten his way, humph!"
"You know he's a petty person, and we don't argue with petty people. It's beneath us!"
Let's go buy you some good food.
Li Lanzhen glanced back at Han Shunde, who was following behind her with a sullen expression.
"Village chief, let's go! Why are you still paying attention to him? He doesn't even treat you like a son, why are you bothering with him?"
Just take good care of your mother and live your own life well.
Han Shunde nodded in agreement with Li Lanzhen's words, realizing he was indeed being unreasonable.
It's already like this, why are you still thinking about her? Take good care of your mother, live your life well, and let him see!
"Lanzhen, what are you going to buy? I want to look at grain seeds."
"Alright, go ahead. After you're done watching, just go back to Sifang Restaurant on your own."
Li Lanzhen took Sanwang to a pastry shop and bought a lot of pastries for the children.
She bought some brown sugar and sesame seeds at the grocery store.
I'm preparing to fry some flour with lard for a few kids taking the exam tomorrow, so they can bring it into the exam hall.
Just pour boiling water over it and you can eat it with the pancake. It's convenient and easy to inspect, so the food won't be damaged during inspection.
Li Lanzhen put all these things in a basket on her back, and Sanwang snatched it and carried it on his own back.
The two strolled slowly down the street. When they saw some flower hair ties, Li Lanzhen bought a lot to take home to her daughter, daughter-in-law, and young girls, to make them happy.
As they passed the entrance of an alley, Sanwang suddenly grabbed her sleeve and gestured toward the alley entrance with his lips.
He grabbed Li Lanzhen and hid behind the courtyard wall.
Sanwang whispered in Li Lanzhen's ear, "Auntie, it's that vixen!"
Li Lanzhen nodded, signaling him to keep quiet.
At this moment, the fox spirit shouted angrily, "Brother, why are you only arriving now? We've been waiting for a long time."
This is what the vixen is saying to a man.
Li Lanzhen looked at the man; he had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and there were three other men carrying bundles of luggage beside him.
"We'll wait, so what? Where's that old man? Has he registered our household registration yet?"
"None of you have arrived, and you haven't even brought out your original household registration documents. How are you going to register your household?"
The officials at the local government office said that without the original household registration, they wouldn't register the person in the new household in Youzhou City; they would have to go back to their original village.
"That old man failed to get this done; he's utterly useless!"
Look at the kind of person you've found!
The fox spirit became angry when she heard the man complaining about her, and she shouted in a shrill voice.
"Brother, what are you saying? If I hadn't married him, you would have starved or died of illness long ago! Let me tell you, you must never gamble again."
Next time you lose money gambling, I'm not going to help you anymore!
"You dare? You promised my parents you would take care of me."
If it weren't for your brother coming up with this plan, would that old man have wanted you?
If you dare ignore me, I'll sell you into a brothel!
The vixen stomped her feet angrily, pointed at him, and loudly cursed him for being heartless.
"Alright, what are you shouting for? Let's hurry up and go see if that old man can do anything about it?"
The group walked towards the government office.
Li Lanzhen and Sanwang then stood at the entrance of the alley, watching their departing figures.
Sanwang looked up at Li Lanzhen and suddenly grinned.
"Hehe, Auntie, this is going to be a good show!"
Old village chief, you're in for a rough time now!
He has a gambling-addicted brother-in-law; be careful he doesn't sell his old bones for gambling money!
Li Lanzhen frowned; this news was something that needed to be taken seriously.
Once this guy moves into Forget-Worry Valley, he'll cause chaos and chaos there!
Let's just make sure it doesn't affect their Peach Blossom Spring.
Otherwise, she wouldn't mind making him disappear into these mountains!
