The child in Li Lanzhen's arms was so frightened that he cried loudly.
Bao Ya's mother was also awakened. "Auntie, what's going on outside?"
Li Lanzhen turned to comfort her, "It's nothing, get some sleep. Come on, watch the baby, I'm going out for a bit."
Gently placing the child beside her, Li Lanzhen picked up her basket and put one of the prepared items, including the three hens that Silver Fox had already prepared, into the basket.
She came out but didn't even look at the group of people standing in the courtyard.
He told the water cypress, "Go and cook some poached eggs for your wife, add brown sugar, and serve them to her. Stay in the room and keep a close eye on your wife and the two children."
Turning to Bao Ya, who was clinging tightly to the cypress's thigh, he said, "Bao Ya, go see your mother. Stay in your room and don't come out."
Bao Ya's brother was carried by the water buffalo into his mother's room and lay down.
The child had bumped his head and was bleeding; when they returned, he was unconscious on the ground.
He's probably still asleep.
The metasequoia took the basket and went into the kitchen.
Li Lanzhen casually took out two axes from her basket, one in each hand, and stood in the yard before noticing a group of people approaching at the gate.
There were three men standing at the door; they were probably three brothers, and they looked quite alike.
The one in the middle is in her 30s, and the one over there should be in her 20s.
The three men were tall and sturdy, with fierce-looking faces.
Seeing Li Lanzhen looking at them, the man in the middle pointed at Li Lanzhen with the stick in his hand and said.
"Why are you hitting my son, you old woman from out of town?"
A young man next to him said, "Did you hit my wife?"
No matter what they said, Li Lanzhen remained silent, holding the axe in both hands, looking at them with a half-smile.
Han Mingjiang held the stick in his hand, standing behind Li Lanzhen, watching them warily, afraid that they might suddenly rush up and hurt Li Lanzhen.
At this moment, Buffalo Mother also came out of the house on the east side, probably to see her grandson. Seeing that there were a lot of people standing in the yard, she picked up a stick by the door and stood on the other side of Li Lanzhen.
"What are you doing here? Your family members broke into our house, stole our things, pushed down my pregnant daughter-in-law, causing her to have a premature birth, and injured my grandson. What do you want? Is there no law anymore?"
Standing next to the three men were several teenagers.
One of the boys pointed at the water buffalo woman with his stick and said...
"The law? In Shanghe Village, the law is what my grandfather decides!"
Who do you think you are! Bringing outsiders into our village today, I wonder what you're planning to steal from our village!
The water buffalo angrily came up and said, "You're talking nonsense. No one in my family, big or small, would steal anything."
Only your family members would steal things.
"Did you take my aunt's raft home with you? You have no shame!"
Li Lanzhen only realized what was going on when she saw the men and boys talking to the water buffalo.
It turns out that these people are the children and grandchildren of that skinny old man.
The son and grandson of the skinny old man were both tall and strong!
The buffalo and the others became increasingly agitated as they talked, and before they knew it, the village chief's three sons and several of his grandsons rushed at them.
Han Mingjiang rushed over from behind Li Lanzhen to help the water buffalo.
Li Lanzhen knew that Han Mingjiang was strong, but even so, he couldn't beat these ruthless guys no matter who he was. Every move they made was aimed at a person's vital points!
When Li Lanzhen saw the village chief's eldest son, she raised a thick wooden stick and was about to strike Han Mingjiang on the head.
That's fucking deadly! A direct hit to the head!
Li Lanzhen walked over and kicked him in the waist, sending the village chief's eldest son rolling several times on the ground.
This move was like pressing the pause button; everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and stared at Li Lanzhen in astonishment.
Li Lanzhen said, "Get out of this yard, or my axe won't discriminate!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman's voice rang out.
"Fine, let me see why your axe doesn't recognize people?"
"Let me show you just how capable you are, you outsider!"
A woman appeared at the door, a woman as tall as an iron tower!
The woman was tall and strong!
His face was full of fat, and he wobbled as he walked!
She entered the courtyard, crossed her arms, spread her legs, and stood there, looking at her eldest son lying on the ground with disdain.
"You piece of trash, get out of the way!"
Only then did Li Lanzhen realize why the skinny old man had given birth to such a tall and strong son—it turned out he had a robust wife!
Judging by this woman's appearance, even ten skinny old men couldn't beat her.
The village chief's wife said.
“You, an outsider, have come to our village to act like a bully. You not only injured my grandson and my daughter-in-law, but now you’re bullying my children and grandchildren. Today, I’ll teach you what kind of rules you should follow when you’re in another village.”
As she spoke, she walked closer to Li Lanzhen step by step, and then kicked Li Lanzhen in the chest.
Li Lan truly thought that both the son and the mother were equally ruthless.
That kick was delivered with full force; if it had landed on his chest, he would have been either dead or seriously injured!
Just as her feet were about to touch her chest.
The back of the axe in Li Lanzhen's hand slammed hard into her calf.
Unexpectedly, the axe only lightly swept across her leg, and the woman quickly withdrew her foot.
Li Lanzhen was amazed by her speed and her judgment.
Therefore, Li Lanzhen dared not underestimate her opponent and focused all her attention on her.
Li Lanzhen caught a glimpse of the village chief's sons and grandsons out of the corner of her eye and tried to sneak into the house from the side.
He immediately shouted, "Second brother, beat anyone who tries to get into the house! Break their legs and throw them out of the yard!"
"Water buffalo, take your mother and step back! Guard the house door."
Li Lanzhen's words stopped the few people who were itching to rush into the house.
But this also angered the woman.
She rushed up and, taking advantage of her height and size, tried to grab Li Lanzhen's hair with overwhelming force.
Li Lanzhen nimbly dodged, hiding behind her, and kicked her in the ankle.
With a "thump," the woman was kicked and fell to her knees.
The village chief's wife was both ashamed and angry. She never imagined that she, who had been a powerful figure for most of her life, could make this small mountain village tremble with a single stomp of her foot.
He was actually kicked to his knees by a skinny outsider.
She turned over and stood up, then turned around fiercely, reaching out to grab Li Lanzhen's shoulders.
Li Lanzhen seized the opportunity to grab her arm, swung her up, and slammed her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
This time, Li Lanzhen did not hold back and used all her strength.
The village chief's wife, who was as strong as an iron tower, was thrown to the ground and was stunned for a moment!
I really can't understand how this stranger, this thin and small old woman, could pick her up and throw her to the ground.
Her back ached terribly. Despite being lazy and good-for-nothing for so many years, with flesh on her back that was two feet thick, she still felt a sharp pain from the fall!
Li Lanzhen didn't give her a chance to get up. She stepped forward and pressed her knee against her chest, then held a gleaming axe to her neck.
She turned to her grandson, her son, and said.
"I advise you to quickly put my family's raft back to yours in the same way you took it."
Otherwise, I'll chop her head off and kick it into the river.
What to do? Li Lanzhen wanted to rid the people of this scourge!
With this family running rampant in such a small fishing village, how can the villagers possibly have a good life?
Her children and grandchildren were frightened and were about to take a step when the woman shouted loudly.
“Where is your raft? When have we ever seen your raft? We have two boats, who would want your rotten raft?”
Her children and grandchildren stood motionless in the yard, as if to say that this was indeed the case and that we had not seen it.
Li Lanzhen was so angry she laughed.
