Chapter 138: Drag the Village Chief and the Clan Leader into the Water
"What does this bitch Widow Tong want to say? Uncle Yong, Uncle Kun, look at how my fourth son was beaten. His roots were cut off. This cut off the incense of our Xu family."
"Widow Tong keeps saying that my son Si Er harassed her. As the saying goes, flies don't bite cracked eggs. If Widow Tong hadn't seduced her, would my son have attacked a widow for no reason?"
Mrs. Yan spoke with tears in her eyes, rubbing her wrist which was swollen from being stepped on by Tong Huaqiong.
Widow Tong is so cruel!
She nearly broke her fingers.
She knew that the village chief and the clan leader would definitely side with Xu Si, so she became bolder and began to attack Tong Huaqiong unscrupulously.
Tong Huaqiong refused to be outdone, clapped his hands and jumped, cursing: "You are the egg with a crack. If you were not the egg with a crack, would the village chief and the head of the Xu family support you for no reason?"
"You can bully me and mistreat me just because I'm a widow. I'm not like Old Lady Yan who has the support of men in the clan. Apart from my son, who else can support me? You can bully me just because I don't have a man!"
Tong Huaqiong pounded the ground and cursed.
Tong Huaqiong's scolding made Xu Yong and Xu Kun so angry that they were about to explode.
What’s wrong with this widow Tong? She won’t let go of them.
Xu Kun, the head of the Xu family, had a dark face. Widow Tong talked about the village chief, so why did she involve him in this?
What does that mean? How can a clan leader like him have gossip with his niece's wife?
Tong Huaqiong was determined to drag Xu Yong and Xu Kun into the water. Aren't they going to help Xu Si and Yan Pozi?
She insisted that Xu Yong, Xu Kun and Yan Pozi were in cahoots, and asked them to think about the consequences if they wanted to help Yan Pozi and her son.
Hearing the noise, Brother Xu and his friends came running over and squeezed into the crowd.
Xu Kun waved his hand and asked Xu Da and his brothers to help Xu Si up. Xu Da's hand was a little too strong, and Xu Si covered his crotch and wailed.
The village chief asked the Xu family members to carry Xu Si away and ask for a doctor.
Gu Dashu, Gu Dahan, Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua stood aside to stop them from taking the people away.
"My mother hasn't gotten justice yet, so don't even think about taking her away."
"My brother's roots are cut off, how are you going to compensate him?" Xu Da looked gloomy.
"Bah, how can I compensate you? I'll compensate you with a cucumber!" Gu Taohua spat on Xu Da's face, put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You think Xu Si's root is so precious? If it is so precious, you should tie it up and keep it at home as a worship. Why let it out to bite people like a dog? Since you let it out to bite people, it deserves to be cut off."
"It's not our fault that Xu Si's roots were cut off, it's your fault for not hiding them well. Such a disgusting thing was taken out and thrown around, and cutting it off is to get rid of harm for the people. Besides, it wasn't us who cut the roots off, it was Xu Si who was useless and cut them off himself. If you are not satisfied, just report it to the police."
Gu Taohua's bold words made the young girls and wives in the village blush.
It's really eye-opening to see a girl always talking about her roots.
The village lady shook her head slightly. Even if Widow Tong won against the Xu family this time, it would probably affect Gu Taohua's reputation, and it would be more difficult to get married in the future.
Tong Huaqiong nodded in agreement and said, "My Taohua is right. It was Xu Si who broke his own roots. If you are not satisfied, report it to the police. It was clearly Xu Si who harassed me, but you Xu family members said that I was wrong. Xu Si harassed me and blamed me for seducing him. Xu Si's roots were broken and that was my fault."
"Xu Da, if you don't believe me, take out your roots and see if I have the ability to break them." Tong Huaqiong jumped up and ran to Xu Da.
This bold attitude frightened Xu Da so much that he lost his balance and threw Xu Si in his hand to the ground.
Xu Si started howling again.
"Okay, everyone, please say less. Village chief, head of the Xu family, you really can't carry the body away. Who will be responsible if the body dies after you carry it away? Since you have asked a doctor, just treat it here. We are all fellow villagers anyway, and no one will say anything." Liu Yue'e's uncle Liu Tielian said.
We must never let the Xu family be proud.
He knew very well the purpose of his son's visit to the neighboring village, and he had to thank Gu Jingzhe for the information.
Today he must join forces with Tong Dajiao and Gu Jingzhe to get rid of Xu Yong, the village chief.
If a village chief cannot treat the villagers fairly and always favors the Xu family, what kind of village chief is he?
"Brother Liu is right. We are all from the same village, so it would be good to have a witness." Gu Guangkui, who was squeezed in the crowd, spoke.
The Xu family can't always be complacent.
Previously, Xu Si made such a big fuss about his daughter Gu Xiaocao, but due to the favoritism of the village chief and the head of the Xu family, Gu Xiaocao did not get justice.
If Tong Dajiao hadn't asked his daughter to go to the town to help, Gu Xiaocao would still not be able to hold his head up in the village.
After Gu Guangkui finished speaking, he quietly left. He wanted to go to the town to pick Xiaocao up. Maybe he could get justice for Xiaocao today.
"Yes, yes, I'll treat it right here."
"We can treat the disease while seeking justice for Aunt Tong at the same time. We can do both at the same time."
"I'll go get the doctor."
Some members of the Liu family expressed their support for Liu Tielian.
One of the Liu family members took the initiative to ask for help from a doctor.
"Stop fooling around! It's immoral here." Xu Kun said angrily, waving his sleeves.
As Xu Kun spoke, some of the Xu family members rushed forward to snatch Xu Si away.
"Since the village chief and the head of the Xu family cannot get justice, let's report to the police." Gu Jingzhe said indifferently to the village chief.
"Jingzhe, it's better not to report this to the police. Uncle Liu is here to seek justice for your mother." The one who opposed this matter was Liu Tiechui.
The reason why Liu Tiechui disagreed with reporting the matter to the police was that he felt that the matter could be handled within Qinghe Bay. If the matter became a big deal and spread to the town, it would be bad for Tong Huaqiong's reputation. After all, she was a widow and had to do business.
What a difficult situation it is for a widow to have a bad reputation!
Secondly, the younger son and daughter of the Gu family have not yet been engaged. Although Tong Huaqiong is in the right in today's matter, outsiders do not think so. Tong Dajiao has managed to restore some of her reputation in the past few months. If the incident becomes a big deal, it will affect the marriage of Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua.
Isn’t this the case with Gu Xiaocao? Everyone in Qinghe Bay knows that Gu Xiaocao is a victim, but her marriage is still blocked and her reputation is troubled.
It has to be said that Liu Tiechui's considerations were very comprehensive given the thinking of that era.
Unfortunately, Tong Huaqiong is not from this era. She doesn’t care much about a good reputation in this era. What she wants is justice, and she wants the Xu family to behave themselves in the village from now on.
She's going to make a big fuss.
"Jingzhe, your uncle Liu is right. Although you have studied for a few years at a young age, you don't understand the seriousness of this. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for your mother." Xu Yong said to Gu Jingzhe with a smile.
This clearly shows that he does not take Gu Jingzhe seriously.
Gu Jingzhe calculated the time and thought Liu Tong would be here soon.
Tong Huaqiong clapped her hands and jumped in front of Xu Yong. She stopped crying and sneered, saying, "Village head, I hear you look down on my son. I advise you not to bully a poor teenager. My son is the only student in Qinghe Bay. Even the education commissioner praises him. He will be the only scholar, juren, and jinshi in Qinghe Bay. If you don't give me justice today, my son will get it back sooner or later."
When Tong Huaqiong said this, the crowd exploded.
