The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich!-Chapter 138: Dragging the Village Chief and Clan Leader Into the Mess

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Dragging the Village Chief and Clan Leader Into the Mess

"What kind of solution does that Widow Tong want, that bitch? Hey Uncle Yong, Uncle Kun, look at how my fourth son was beaten up, it’s broken, and that’s the end of our Lao Xu family line!"

"Widow Tong keeps saying my fourth son harassed her, but as the saying goes, ’flies don’t sting seamless eggs.’ If Widow Tong hadn’t seduced him first, would my fourth son have picked on a widow for no reason?"

Yan Pozi, with tears in her eyes, rubbed her wrist swollen from being stomped on by Tong Huaqiong.

Widow Tong is truly ruthless!

Almost broke her fingers.

Knowing the village head and clan leader would definitely side with Xu Si, she got bolder and began ruthlessly attacking Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong refused to back down, clapping her hands as she yelled, "You’re the one with the seams! If you weren’t, would the village head and the Xu Clan leader be defending you for no reason?"

"You all think I’m just a widow, so you bully me relentlessly. I don’t have a man in my clan like Yan Pozi to back me up. Apart from my son, who do I have to support me? You all see that I have no man and take advantage of me!"

Tong Huaqiong pounded the ground and cursed.

Tong Huaqiong’s cursing made Xu Yong and Xu Kun furious.

What is with this Widow Tong, clinging to them desperately?

Xu Clan leader Xu Kun’s face turned ashen. Widow Tong mentioned the village head, but why drag him into this?

What is this about? How could a clan leader be associated with gossip about a niece-in-law in the clan?

Tong Huaqiong made up her mind to drag Xu Yong and Xu Kun into this. If they wanted to help Xu Si and Yan Pozi, she would spin tales implying Xu Yong, Xu Kun, and Yan Pozi are involved, making them think twice about helping Yan Pozi and her son.

Xu Brothers rushed over after hearing the commotion, squeezing into the crowd.

Xu Kun waved his hand for the brothers to help Xu Si up, but Xu Da’s grip was too strong, making Xu Si howl in pain, clutching his groin.

The village head ordered that Xu family members should carry Xu Si away to get medical attention.

Gu Dashu, Gu Dahan, and Gu Jingzhe stood in the way, not allowing them to take Xu Si away.

"Until we get justice for my mother, don’t even think about taking him away."

"How will you compensate us for my brother’s break?" Xu Da’s face was gloomy. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Spit, compensate you with a cucumber!" Gu Taohua spat in Xu Da’s face, cursing with her hands on her hips, "You think Xu Si’s break is so precious? If it’s that precious, you should have tied it up and put it at home as an offering. Why let him out to bite like a dog? If he’s out biting and gets broken, he deserved it."

"It’s not our fault Xu Si broke, it’s your fault for not keeping it hidden. Flashing such disgusting ’thing’ around; breaking it is doing everyone a favor. Anyway, it’s not us who broke it, Xu Si couldn’t hold himself, broke it on his own. If you’re dissatisfied, go report it to the authorities."

Gu Taohua’s brazen words made the young women and wives in the village blush.

A young girl’s constant mention of breaks, truly eye-opening.

The village aunties gently shook their heads; even if Widow Tong won against the Xu family this time, it might harm Gu Taohua’s reputation, making marriage proposals difficult in the future.

Tong Huaqiong nodded in agreement and said, "My Taohua is right, Xu Si broke his own root. If you’re dissatisfied, go and report it. Clearly, it was Xu Si harassing me, but to you Xu family, it’s my fault, claiming Xu Si broke his root because of me."

"Xu Da, if you don’t believe me, take yours out and see if I have the ability to break it." Tong Huaqiong jumped up and ran up to Xu Da.

This bold attitude scared Xu Da so much that he lost his balance and dropped Xu Si to the ground.

Xu Si started wailing again.

"Enough, everyone say less. Village head, Xu family leader, you really can’t take the person away; if he dies after you take him, who’ll be responsible? Since you’re calling a doctor, have the treatment here, we’re all villagers, nobody would say anything." Liu Yueer’s uncle, Liu Tieshan, spoke.

We absolutely can’t let the Xu family gloat.

He knew very well why his son went to the neighboring village, thanks to Gu Jingzhe providing information.

He had to unite with Tong Dajiao and Gu Jingzhe to get Xu Yong, the village head, out of office today.

How can a village head who can’t treat villagers fairly and always sides with the Xu family be a village head?

"Brother Liu is right, we’re all neighbors; it’s good to have witnesses." Gu Guangkui, squeezed among the crowd, spoke up.

The Xu family can’t always be so smug.

Previously, Xu Si made such a fuss about his daughter Gu Xiaocao, and due to the partiality of the village head and Xu family leader, Gu Xiaocao never got her justice.

If it weren’t for Tong Dajiao sending his daughter to help in town, Gu Xiaocao would still be unable to hold her head up in the village.

After Gu Guangkui spoke, he quietly left; he needed to go to town to bring Xiaocao back. Maybe Xiaocao’s justice could be sought today, too.

"Yes, yes, let’s treat him here."

"While treating him, we can get justice for Aunt Tong, two birds with one stone."

"I’ll go call the doctor."

Some Liu family members supported Liu Tieshan.

One Liu family member volunteered to call the doctor.

"Nonsense, this is highly improper." Xu Kun waved his sleeve angrily.

With Xu Kun’s words, some Xu family members rushed forward to snatch Xu Si away.

"Since the village head and Xu family leader can’t get justice, let’s just report to the authorities." Gu Jingzhe said calmly to the village head.

"Jingzhe, let’s not report it, with Uncle Liu here, your mother will surely get justice." Liu Tiechui opposed it.

Liu Tiechui opposed reporting it for two reasons: he believed solving it within Qinghe Bay was sufficient, escalating it to town would tarnish Tong Huaqiong’s reputation, as she needed to do business being a widow.

A widow with a ruined reputation would be in a difficult situation!

Secondly, Gu family’s youngest son and daughter were yet to be engaged, though Tong Huaqiong was right this time, outsiders wouldn’t see it that way. Tong Dajiao worked hard to regain some face in recent months, escalating the matter would affect Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua’s prospects.

Just like Gu Xiaocao, everyone in Qinghe Bay knew she was a victim, yet her match proposals faced hurdles, and reputation suffered.

One has to say, Liu Tiechui was quite thorough in considering issues from this era’s mindset.

Unfortunately, Tong Huaqiong was not of this era; she didn’t care that much about this era’s reputation; she wanted justice and wanted the Xu family to keep a low profile in the village.

She wanted to escalate things.

"Jingzhe, your Uncle Liu is right. You’re still young, only read for a few years, and don’t understand the seriousness of this. Rest assured, I’ll get justice for your mother." Xu Yong said to Gu Jingzhe with a smile.

This clearly showed he didn’t take Gu Jingzhe seriously.

Gu Jingzhe calculated the time, Liu Tong should be arriving soon.

Tong Huaqiong clapped her hands and jumped in front of Xu Yong, her crying and cursing stopped, replaced by a sneer, "Village head, from what you said, you look down on my young son. I advise you not to underestimate the poor youth. My young son is the only child student in Qinghe Bay, even the scholarly administrator praises him. Soon, he will be the only scholar, intake student, and candidate of Qinghe Bay. If you don’t give me justice today, my son will seek justice for me sooner or later."

Tong Huaqiong’s words exploded in the crowd.
