"You hit me again! I'll fight you to the death!"
Xia was desperate; she reached out and grabbed Old Man An's face, and the two instantly started wrestling.
An Darong had already run far away by then.
An Miaomiao kicked An Meili away and said to An Wanwan, "Wanwan, aren't you going to chase after him?"
"Need not."
An Wanwan shook her head.
Less than 15 minutes later, officials from the yamen arrived. At that time, An Meili and her group were still fighting with An Miaomiao and her group.
As for the few diners who helped, they have already stopped.
As soon as they saw the government officials arrive, they started talking amongst themselves.
"Brothers, you've finally arrived! These people are awful! Not only did they cause trouble as soon as they arrived, but when we tried to break them up, they beat us up!"
"Exactly, look at what our faces look like now."
"And our hands..."
"..."
Xia's face darkened: "Brother constable, that's not how it is..."
"Who are you calling 'big brother'?!"
The fat constable in the lead rolled his eyes at Xia Shi. Were they any older than her?
They've all been called old.
Old Man An forced a smile and stepped forward, saying, "Young officers, this is just a minor dispute. My wife is making a fuss over nothing. It's kind of you to come all this way..."
The fat constable sneered, "A minor conflict? They've beaten him up like this and you call it a minor conflict? You're probably trying to kill him!"
He had no idea which side those people were when he said that.
Hearing him say that...
An Meili thought someone was backing them up. Despite her face being swollen like a pig's head from An Miaomiao's beating, she stepped forward and cried, "Brother Officer, they just wanted to beat us to death! Look at my face..."
"And me..."
An Dagui and the others stepped forward one after another.
Several constables sized them up, then looked at An Wanwan and her companions.
The fat constable coughed and asked, "What exactly happened? Can someone explain?"
"Let me speak."
Anke came over and told him about what had happened before, picking out the parts she could talk about.
An Meili noticed that he only mentioned that they caused trouble and attacked them first, but didn't mention that the other diners helped beat them.
She shouted, "You're talking nonsense! How did we cause any trouble? An Wanwan shamelessly got pregnant, and we, as her family, spoke up against her, but you attacked us and even incited the other diners here to join in..."
"That's right, that's right."
Li Qingmei and the others echoed this sentiment.
The constables couldn't say whether they were right or wrong, so they took them all back to the yamen.
After the town magistrate finished his interrogation, he examined An Wanwan's marriage certificate. After reading it, he looked up and said, "An Wanwan has a marriage certificate. Although she became pregnant out of wedlock, you cannot drown her in a pig cage!"
As a civil official, he always held those who dared to go to the battlefield in high esteem.
now.
This has happened.
He was naturally on An Wanwan's side.
Li Qingmei protested, "Even if they weren't drowned in a pig cage, they were still in the wrong today! Lord Town Magistrate, look what they did to my man!"
An Xiaomei and the others chimed in, "Lord Town Magistrate, you must stand up for us..."
If An Miaomiao didn't care that she was in a government office, she would have loved to spray them in the face.
The town magistrate slammed his gavel down.
Li Qingmei and the others fell silent.
The town magistrate glanced at them and said, "You came here to cause trouble, started the fight, and then got beaten up in return. You have the nerve to ask me to settle things for you?"
“Lord Town Magistrate, you are right, let’s just let this matter go.”
When Old Man An saw the onlookers pointing and whispering about them, he wanted to disappear into the ground. He had no desire to stay there any longer.
Xia was so angry with Old Man An that she was about to die.
"Forget it, how can we just let it go? Da Gui and the others suffered injuries for nothing!"
An Miaomiao said in a loud voice, "Grandma, you started this, and now you want us to pay you? Everyone can see this. Ask everyone, shouldn't we pay you?"
"No!"
Many people spoke up for An Miaomiao and her group.
An Miaomiao continued, "Speaking of compensation, I think you should apologize to my sister. You scared her, you must apologize!"
