Chapter 45: A bit more lively than Caishikou
Shitou raised his feet to greet him, "What happened?"
"Lin...Lin..." Li Xiaoshan held his hands on his knees and gasped, "The Lin family is back."
Shang Wan scooped out a ladle of water and handed it to him, "Take a sip of water first and speak slowly."
Xiaohuan looked at the water scoop and looked familiar. Wasn't it for those monkeys?
Li Xiaoshan took the water ladle without realizing it. While drinking, he glanced at Shitou's chicken coop and asked curiously: "Brother Shitou, why did your hair become like this?"
"You don't understand. This is a symbol of good feelings." Shitou raised his hand and pulled it casually twice, feeling good about himself, "You don't have it yet."
Li Xiaoshan: "..."
No, he doesn't want it at all! His brother would beat him to death if his hair was like this.
Seeing that his breathing had calmed down, Shang Wan asked, "The Lin family is back, what next?"
"They had a quarrel with the villagers."
Shang Wan had heard the noise a long time ago but didn't pay attention. Then he asked, "What's the noise about?"
"The village chief is being unreasonable." Li Xiaoshan clenched his fists and became a little excited. "The village chief said that Uncle Wu and the others did not wait for him to come back to discuss the point-based-work method they came up with. They were acting indiscriminately and taking away his power. He Tell Li Zheng to drive Uncle Wu’s family out of the village.”
"Uncle Liu helped Uncle Wu and said a few words, and the village chief said that he would drive the Liu family out together to prevent his family from raising another Liu Hu to harm our village."
Lu Chengjing suddenly interrupted, "But the villagers told him that Liu Hu was taken away by an official?"
"No." Li Xiaoshan shook his head, "No one had time to say anything."
Shang Wan glanced at Lu Chengjing and saw that he had his eyes lowered as if thinking about something, so he asked Li Xiaoshan, "What else were you arguing about?"
"Aunt Liu is unreasonable," Li Xiaoshan said angrily. "She said that the villagers took a full thirty taels of her family's money and clamored to catch the thief."
Shitou asked: "Who did she suspect of stealing it?"
"No one, just say it was stolen by the villagers." Li Xiaoshan said with a slumped face, "When they came back, the lock on the Lin family's door was still hanging. Everyone was busy with their own things, and no one went in at all. "
Xiao Huan was puzzled: "They were quarreling, why did you come to see my sister?"
Li Xiaoshan glanced at Lu Chengjing and said in a muffled voice: "The village chief said that it was the scholar who came up with the idea, and he wanted... to..."
"We are going to be driven out of the village as well." Shang Wan answered for him.
Li Xiaoshan nodded and said what was in his heart, "Sister, I don't want you to move away."
This was also the reason why he came to Shang Wan anxiously. He felt that Shang Wan was the only one in the village who could deal with the Lin family.
"The Lin family's decision as to whether to move or not does not count." Shang Wan stretched out his hand to rub the child's head, thinking to himself, using chicken feathers as arrows, should the Lin family really make the decision in Yushu Village?
When Li Xiaoshan heard that he had a chance, he grinned so much that his back molars were exposed.
Glancing at the piles of things he had cleared out, Shang Wan whistled in the direction of the forest.
After a while, the howls of wolves could be heard in the forest, making all the small animals tremble in fear.
"Let's go and watch the excitement together and see how powerful this village chief Lin is."
Shang Wan took Yuanyuan from Lu Chengjing's arms, stepped forward to carry Lu Chengjing on his back, and Xiaohuan put the kitchen knife away from his waist. The momentum when he walked was not like going to watch the fun, but more like going to a group fight.
Inexplicably, Li Xiaoshan straightened his back, raised his chin, and took a domineering figure-eight step.
When the group of people arrived at the center of the excitement, under the old elm tree, the quarrel between the two parties had already entered a heated stage.
Mrs. Liu was like a red-eyed fighting cock, akimbo and firing at the whole village, scolding them all in an unpleasant voice. Several aunts were angrily scolding her. Zhou and Chen Guifang naturally couldn't stand it and helped their mother-in-law scold her. When the aunts' daughters-in-law saw this, they also stepped forward to help.
There was back and forth between the two sides, ranging from personal attacks to eighteen generations of ancestors of each family. Shang Wan was eye-opening and even wanted to grab melon seeds.
Yuanyuan was woken up. She rubbed her eyes with her little hands and rubbed her chubby face against Shang Wan's neck.
"Good boy, keep sleeping." Shang Wan patted the little guy's back gently, and the meat dumplings rubbing against him gradually stopped moving. When he lowered his head, he saw that he had fallen asleep again.
Shang Wan continued to watch the show, thinking that it would be better to have a fight if there was no time to curse. The two parties actually got angry and started rolling up their sleeves, pulling each other's hair and clothes, and rolled together instantly.
Everyone started to take action, and naturally the others couldn't just watch. They rushed forward one after another, starting fights and helping. For a while, it was extremely chaotic, and it was even more lively than Caishikou.
Shitou didn't mind watching the excitement and cheered for Aunt Zhou and Aunt Yao from the side.
Xiaohuan stared at Village Chief Lin coldly, and touched the kitchen knife behind him with his right hand several times.
Lin Jianshui stayed by the side of Village Chief Lin and did not give Xiao Huan an opportunity to take advantage of him. Xiao Huan had to regretfully give up the plan of stabbing Village Chief Lin.
"Stop, stop fighting!" Mr. Wu and others shouted with their cheeks reddening in anxiety, "Pull away! Pull away quickly! We are all from the same village. What can't we sit down and talk about?"
"Stop it!" Father Liu called his son anxiously, "Boss, pull your Aunt Zhou away quickly!"
Lu Chengjing sat on the stone, watching the noise in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly covered his mouth and yawned.
Shang Wan secretly raised his eyebrows, are you bored of watching the fun?
"That's enough!" Village Chief Lin shouted with a dark face, his voice almost breaking.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and the brawlers took the opportunity to pull away the slapped brawlers.
Mrs. Liu's hair was torn loose, and there were not only slap marks but also several nail marks on her face. It was unknown who scratched them.
She threw away the support of her two daughters-in-law and sat on the ground crying.
Aunt Zhou's hair was half torn apart. She was held up by her two sons, but she still stretched out her head and spat at Mrs. Liu.
"Whose family does not have two sons? The whole village is watching, and no one has entered your house. Maybe you secretly used it to support your parents' family. You are slandering us here, bah!"
"Zhou Yingchun, you are talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Aunt Zhou snorted coldly, "On the tenth day of last month, we were attending a big fair in Xiaohe Village. I saw you secretly asking someone to bring things to your parents' house. With such a big bag of things, who knew you were there? Aren’t you secretly putting money in it?”
Hearing this, Village Chief Lin's eyes suddenly glanced at Mr. Liu like a knife.
Mrs. Liu shrank her neck, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she still argued: "I didn't go out that day. You got the wrong person."
"Mom, I drove a donkey cart to send you there that day, did you forget?" Lin Jianshui said, "You also said not to tell dad..."
His words were finished after a pause, so why did he say it smoothly?
Liu: "..."
Why didn't she strangle this stick to death? Is she so deceiving her own mother?
"I brought things home, but they were all old clothes and there was no money." Ms. Liu did not dare to quibble anymore and looked at Village Chief Lin, "Master, you keep all the money. Even if I wanted to give it to my mother's family, I wouldn't have any money." ah."
Village Chief Lin had a gloomy face.
"Evidence found!" Lin Jianshan and his party strode over, holding a jade pendant with excellent water quality in his hand.
