Chapter 23 Aunt 2 shows off her power
Boss Ma couldn't even stop his elderly mother, so how could he stop the young and vigorous Li Xiuxiu.
After being pushed impatiently by Li Xiuxiu, she and my mother fell to the ground.
"You are not a good thing either!"
Li Xiuxiu noticed Ma Er's daughter-in-law who took a few steps back, kicked her over, and then rode on Ma Er's daughter-in-law and punched her several times.
"Hey! Don't fight, don't fight yet!"
"Don't just watch, go up and stop me."
When the ladies were fighting, the village chief couldn't get involved, so he had to call on his daughters-in-law.
The village chief's daughter-in-law couldn't wait to cheer for Li Xiuxiu, so she pretended to pull her up a few times.
"Forget it, Sister Li."
"Ouch, you look like your face is swollen, stop fighting now."
The village chief's third daughter-in-law also took the opportunity to secretly kick Ma's second daughter-in-law.
In the end, He Sutong stepped forward and pulled Li Xiuxiu away, "Second brother and sister, stop fighting and listen to what the village chief says first."
Li Xiuxiu got up from Ma Er's daughter-in-law and wiped the tears and nose stuck on her hands on Ma Er's daughter-in-law's clothes.
"Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law. The village chief will speak first."
"This……"
The whole Ma family was wailing on the ground, and they were all beaten. The village chief didn't know what to say for a while.
"Village Chief, you just heard that these two evil-hearted people are planning to drown my children!"
"If it weren't for my child's cleverness, I don't know what he would be doing now."
"It's a matter of human life that can't be solved with just a little money."
Seeing that the village chief didn't say anything, Li Xiuxiu said something. The Zhao family was determined not to suffer this loss.
"This... nothing happened."
The village chief said this without any confidence.
"Oh, the village chief is right. Besides, she is just a girl. How big can she be if she drowns?
Something. "
The mother-in-law, who had something to do, took the opportunity to say something. It had been agreed before that 30 taels would be given to the village, and each household would get a lot, so it couldn't be messed with.
Drowning a girl is not a human life, let alone not dying.
Li Xiuxiu followed the voice and looked over. It turned out to be Granny Sun.
"You also grew up as a girl. Drowning you is not a big deal. Why don't you jump into the river and drown."
Grandma Sun didn't get any favors, and the Zhao family looked at her unkindly. She didn't want to offend her, so she could only whisper in a low voice, "Sharp teeth and sharp little hooves."
The village chief was in a dilemma. Ma Er's daughter-in-law told her about this matter, and the results of the previous discussions were probably lost.
The Zhao family will definitely not agree, and even they themselves will have uneasy conscience.
Mr. Zhao stood up at this time and said, "Village Chief, what I promised before still counts, but I have to add one more."
The village chief didn't even ask what conditions he would add. He simply nodded and agreed, "Okay, Brother Zhao, just tell me what you want to add."
Mr. Zhao pointed at Ma Er's wife: "When the ancestral hall in our village is rebuilt, let her kneel in the ancestral hall for a month."
Kneeling in the ancestral hall for a month will not cause any serious sin, but it will affect her reputation.
Ma Er's wife did not resist, but she was caught anyway, and her reputation was already ruined.
"No, why should my family pay so much money!"
Madam Ma was still lying on the ground, her mouth still stiff.
Boss Ma stood up slowly and helped Mrs. Ma up as well.
Mrs. Ma wanted to say a few more words, but Boss Ma quickly stopped her, "Mom, you have to agree."
Mrs. Ma always listened to what the elder said. She hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, village chief, I will pay if you pay."
Madam Ma relaxedly agreed, and most of the matter was solved.
All that's left is
What happened between the Zhao and Ma families was still in the middle of the night, and the village chief called all the villagers who were watching back.
"This matter has been settled. You go back to bed quickly. There is still work to do at dawn."
The crowd left in twos and threes, and the children couldn't stand it any longer, so the three wives of the Zhao family took their children back to the shed first.
Several men from the Ma family and the Zhao family were left to discuss the next compensation with the village chief.
The back of Lu Ming's head was still red and swollen, and there were tears in his eyes.
Li Yuebai was so distressed that she cried, praying that her daughter's pain could be transferred to herself.
"Stop crying, my second sister-in-law will vent your anger tomorrow."
Li Yuebai and Li Xiuxiu have the same surname, and their personalities are compatible. Li Xiuxiu takes care of Li Yuebai like a sister.
He Sutong took a clean handkerchief and handed it to Li Yuebai, "Wipe your tears."
Li Yuebai took the handkerchief, first gently wiped away the tears on Lu Ming's face, and then wiped his own eyes carelessly.
Li Yuebai's tears dripped onto Lu Ming's quilt. Lu Ming reached out from under the quilt and patted his mother comfortingly.
"Lu Ming, mother's good boy."
As soon as Li Yuebai wiped away his tears, a few more drops fell.
"Oh mother, don't cry, don't cry."
Zhao Nanzhou worried about his feet and wiped Li Yuebai's tears with his hands.
Li Yuebai hugged Zhao Nanzhou and kissed his little face.
"Why did Mrs. Ma agree to take the money?"
Li Xiuxiu couldn't understand that Mrs. Ma was willing to spend money to protect her vicious daughter-in-law without even bargaining.
"Her eldest son is here, and she only listens to her eldest son's words."
He Sutong wiped the faces and hands of the Zhao children one by one so that they could go to bed.
"Ah? Boss Ma? Then why did he agree? Hey, there is also Mr.
My lord, he actually negotiated with the village chief to just get some money. "
Li Xiuxiu still doesn't understand.
"My father-in-law is worried about our family's reputation. The second and third children have to take the scholar examination, and my family has to go to Qiuwei."
"It would be bad if our family had the reputation of forcing our fellow villagers to death."
"Boss Ma also wants Qiu Wei, so it would be best for him to pay some money to settle the matter."
Li Xiuxiu understood He Sutong's explanation, and it was nothing more than saving face.
"Hmph, it's an advantage for him. We scholars want to have face. I am an uneducated person, so I have no shame."
Li Yuebai calmed down and hugged his children, "Second daughter-in-law Ma will have a good life in a few days."
Li Xiuxiu disagreed, "She only kneels in the ancestral hall for a month, and she didn't earn the money."
Li Yuebai's voice was soft, "Second sister-in-law, it's the Ma family who can calm things down with money, not her second daughter-in-law Ma."
"It was so violent today, and no one from her family came out to help her."
"What's more, Ma's second daughter-in-law also had a fight with Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma will not let her go."
"Yes." After settling the children, He Sutong also joined the conversation, "Boss Ma wants to preserve his reputation, and his younger siblings who stole the children will not be allowed to stay."
Li Xiuxiu didn't understand these twists and turns. Anyway, she had to fight back when she was bullied.
Mrs. Ma's teaching of Ma's second daughter-in-law is her family's business. If a family member is wronged, she must teach her a lesson in person.
"Third younger brother and sister, please take Lu Ming to sleep first. My second younger brother and sister will be watching over you. The child is frightened and needs to get more rest."
He Sutong felt sorry for the little child who suffered such a crime. He Sutong urged Li Yuebai to go to bed as soon as Li Yuebai was still in confinement.
Lu Ming listened to the conversation and liked it more and more
Second aunt.
Earlier, when Li Xiuxiu punched Ma Er's wife and kicked Ma's mother-in-law, Lu Ming stretched out his neck to watch the whole process.
The second aunt is mighty! The valiant heroic appearance left a strong impression on Lu Ming.
Someone had been watching her before, so Lu Ming didn't dare to drink spring water from the space.
Li Yuebai put Lu Ming next to him and coaxed him to sleep softly.
The candlelight was blocked by He Sutong thoughtfully with a curtain. Lu Ming could not see clearly his mother's face with his eyes open, so he closed his eyes and entered the space with confidence.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the space is filled with bright sunlight.
Lu Ming looked up and saw only the rolling mountains.
Hey, there's no sun, so how can it be daytime?
There are still many things that Lu Ming in Lingquan Space didn't understand, so he didn't struggle with it. He squatted by the spring, took a few sips of the spring water and drank it.
Wow, so sweet!
Although it was not his first time drinking it, Lu Ming was still amazed by the spring water.
After drinking the spring water, Lu Ming lightly touched the back of his head, and the big bag had already gone down.
It doesn’t hurt anymore!
The spiritual spring space provided by the small turntable is really useful.
There is also danger prediction, which helps a lot every time.
By the way, I also got a new skill, Good Luck Koi.
Don’t know how to use this skill?
Lu Ming thought about the benefits of skills, sleepiness came over him, and he fell asleep in his mother's arms.
