"Thank you, village chief, for upholding justice."
Li Sihui flattered the village chief, and Zhao Cuihua was dumbfounded. How could this happen? In the end, she lost both her wife and her army?
"Village Chief, it's sunny today!"
Li Sihui saw the village chief dispersing the crowd and whispered a reminder.
Li Laogen and Liu Jingyun next to them suddenly became nervous and glared at Li Sihui with gritted teeth.
"Yes, it's sunny now. Li Laogen will take your step-daughter-in-law and two children to move to Old Zhoutou's house."
After her reminder, the village chief remembered the decision made last night. He became angry when he thought about that bad boy Li Guozhu. He almost chopped off one of his arms.
"Village Chief, at least give me some time to clean up the house! No one has lived there for a long time."
Liu Jingyun rolled his eyes and came over to continue using the strategy of procrastination. He thought that if he could delay for one day, it would be another day. Maybe he would think of a solution in the next two days.
"I'll give you three days. Move out when the three days are up."
Zhao Yaozu frowned. It would be inhumane to force her to move out now.
"Everyone, look quickly, what kind of daughter did I raise?"
Li Laogen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into tears, and his tears brought back the villagers who were about to leave.
Zhao Cuihua was unwilling to give up, so she naturally did not leave and just watched the fun.
"How can I raise my daughter? She chased me, her father, away."
Li Laogen cried with snot and tears running down his face, and he looked quite pitiful.
"Village chief, look at this heartless and ungrateful girl, how can you still help her?"
Zhao Cuihua hurried over and stepped on her. Now she hated this girl to death. There was so much work at home and no one was doing it, but she wanted to rebel against the court and make herself give her money.
If she is not disciplined, she is not surnamed Zhao.
"That's what happened. Last night..."
The village chief cleared his throat and recounted what happened last night. After hearing it, the crowd went wild.
"You still have the nerve to say that you are the child's father?"
"That's right. He married a second wife and used his daughter to exchange for food to feed her and her two children. Look at how thin Jianguo is and how ragged he is wearing. It's right to chase you away."
"He actually used a knife to attack people? Village chief, don't let him go. Send him to the commune."
Li Laogen was stunned. He had thought that if he cried and made a fuss, everyone would sympathize with him and the village chief would not force them to move. However, he did not expect the opposite effect to occur.
Liu Jingyun panicked, because her son was her most precious. She was terrified when she heard that the villagers were going to send her son to the commune. If he was sent to the commune, he would be handed over to the higher authorities, and they would have no say in that.
"My dear uncles, aunts, grandpa, grandma, my brother and I's biological mother died early, and my father turned around and married this woman. According to the rules of our village, my father is a live-in son-in-law. As long as my mother is gone, his next wife cannot stay in my house. This is the rule passed down by our ancestors. It's not that I, as a daughter, am cruel. They can't take away any grass or tree in the house. They all belong to my brother Jianguo."
Li Sihui spoke in a clear voice. After she finished speaking, the crowd was silent for a few seconds, and then began to buzz about it again.
"The child is right. Every blade of grass and every tree belongs to Grandma Sihui. We can't take them away."
"But how will her father survive? That's too cruel."
"You're so cruel. You traded your wife's child for food, and then let your stepson kill your own daughter with a knife. You're even more ruthless than Sihui."
"But Sihui can't say this. She is the daughter. Jianguo should speak up. He is the head of the family."
Li Sihui listened to people's discussions and her beautiful brows furrowed. She turned her head to look inside the house. Li Jianguo was already afraid of being bullied. If he made the decision and asked his father and the others to move out, would he dare to say so?
