Seeing San Ya's disobedient look, Mrs. Li became furious. She turned around, picked up a thin wooden stick from the side, raised it up and rushed towards San Ya to hit her.
San Ya was not the kind of child who would stand still and get beaten. She reacted very quickly. When she saw Mrs. Li rushing towards her with a wooden stick, she immediately spread her legs and ran as fast as a nimble little rabbit, running straight towards the village chief, turning back and making faces at Mrs. Li as she ran.
Mrs. Li chased after her, cursing non-stop: "You unruly little girl, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
She took big strides, shouting curses louder and louder, as if she would not stop until she caught San Ya and gave her a good beating.
But San Ya was small and agile, moving quickly through the bustling crowd, turning left and right like a slippery little fish. Mrs. Li was so angry that she stomped her feet behind her, her face flushed red, and she kept gasping for breath, but she really couldn't do anything to her for a while, and couldn't hit this naughty little girl.
Sanya was still shouting as she ran: "I won't let you hit me, humph!"
That little face was full of pride and mischief, and from time to time he would turn around and make faces at Mrs. Li, which made Mrs. Li even more furious. The anger in her heart was rising so fast that it felt like it was going to burst out of her head.
The anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger. In a rage, she swung the stick in her hand hard at San Ya's back.
Seeing that the stick was about to hit San Ya, at this critical moment, the village chief's wife was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She rushed forward and pulled San Ya away with force, thus saving San Ya from danger.
The village chief was originally talking to someone when he was attracted by the noise here. When he saw the situation, he saw that Mrs. Li had a face full of anger, and San Ya was so scared that her face turned pale and she hid behind her wife.
The village chief frowned and shouted, "What are you doing? Shouting for war and killing!"
Seeing the village chief protecting San Ya like this, Mrs. Li felt extremely aggrieved. She looked at the village chief with a face full of grievance and said in a tearful voice, "Village chief, this damned girl ate all the meat and left nothing for Jin Bao. She is so heartless! If I had known she would be born, I should have drowned her!"
Those words were full of resentment towards San Ya.
The village chief's face suddenly turned serious when he heard this. He looked at Mrs. Li with a cold gaze and said sternly, "Mrs. Li, this meat is for San Ya. It's her freedom to eat her own portion of meat however she wants. No one else has the right to interfere. If you want to give Jin Bao more meat, then give your own portion away. Don't force the child!"
I'm going to say this today, and I'm only going to say this this time. Such immoral acts as drowning a baby girl must not happen again in our Sujia Village. If you dare to do this, I will not let you off lightly and will immediately expel your family from the family tree!"
The village chief's words were powerful and revealed an unquestionable majesty.
When Mrs. Li heard the village chief speak so seriously, she immediately became frightened.
She knew very well that if their family was expelled from the clan, they would have almost no way to survive in the future!
People who have been expelled from their tribe will be bullied wherever they go. They are helpless and like rootless duckweed, they can only suffer in this world.
She hurriedly said anxiously, "Village Chief, I understand. I was just saying that out of anger. I didn't mean to do that. You must believe me!"
Mrs. Li tried desperately to defend herself, her eyes full of fear, for she was afraid that the village chief would really expel their family in a fit of rage.
The village chief looked at her pitiful appearance and knew in his heart that Mrs. Li was a person who only remembered food and not beatings. She might say nice things now, but she would forget everything after a while.
He sighed slightly and let her go.
As if she had been pardoned, Mrs. Li hurried away in disgrace, and her back looked somewhat embarrassed.
After Mrs. Li left in disgrace, the villagers began to talk about her behind her back. Everyone started talking at once and discussed her various shocking "outrageous actions" that she did in her daily life.
Speaking of this Mrs. Li, she is really a notoriously difficult person to serve in the village.
When her daughter-in-law first married into the family, she was also a pretty young lady who was looking forward to her new life after marriage with great joy.
But who could have imagined that these days would be so unhappy.
In the first two years after my daughter-in-law got married, she gave birth to two daughters.
This made Mrs. Li very angry. She had been looking forward to having a grandson to continue the family line.
So ever since the two granddaughters were born, Mrs. Li has been displeased with her daughter-in-law in every way. She has been finding fault with her all the time, always complaining about this and that. She has been treating her daughter-in-law like a top, running around all day long, but she has never been in a good mood. Her life is really miserable.
In the third year, the daughter-in-law gave birth to another daughter.
This time, Mrs. Li was so angry that her face twisted to one side. Her expression was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, which was frightening to look at.
She was even more unhappy with her daughter-in-law. She was either sarcastic or blaming her daughter-in-law all day long, scolding her so much that she was mad at her. Poor daughter-in-law could only shed tears silently, swallowing her grievances and not daring to complain.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. In the fourth year, the young wife finally gave birth to a son.
This made Mrs. Li very happy. She felt that she could finally hold her head high in the village.
So, she couldn't wait to name her precious grandson Jinbao, as if this grandson was her lifeblood and the hope of the entire family.
From then on, Mrs. Li treated her grandson like an ancestor and doted on him in every way.
Later, under the doting of Mrs. Li, the child gradually became arrogant and unreasonable. He ran around the village all day long, either snatching toys from one friend or bullying another. As a result, the children in the village stayed away from him, and no child was willing to play with him.
When people mentioned Jinbao, they all shook their heads, thinking that this child had been spoiled by Mrs. Li, and what would happen to him in the future?
After the meal, everyone started to work busily, roasting the fresh pork and rabbit meat they had just received.
You know, it is a hot day now. The weather is very hot. If you are not careful, the meat will easily go bad, so no one dares to slack off.
