A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Bad temper

When Village Chief He heard this, he said to He Dacang: "Go, get the gong from the clan, ring the gong to notify the He family, and ask everyone to go to the ancestral hall. Men, women, and children must go. Everyone except those paralyzed on the bed. Don't fail!”

He Dacang didn't know why his father suddenly wanted to summon his clan members to the ancestral hall, but seeing his father's serious look, he could only take the gong and go to inform the He family.

Village Chief He took the key to the ancestral hall and said to the He family present: "Go to the ancestral hall, and I will give you an explanation today."

Widow Qiu, He Daqian, and He Laosi were very happy when they heard this. They thought that Village Chief He was afraid of them and had given in. They immediately followed Village Chief He to the He family ancestral hall happily.

The He family ancestral hall is a blue brick building with a large courtyard. If something happens in the He family, they will gather here to discuss it.

The sound of a gong rang in Dafeng Village. He Dacang was beating the gong while notifying the He family to go to the ancestral hall quickly, saying that the clan had something to say.

 After a lot of busy work, all the He family members were gathered in the ancestral hall in the evening.

There are many members of the He family, including hundreds of people, old and young, but all of them are wearing patched old clothes, which shows that the He family is very poor.

“Village chief, why did you suddenly call us to the ancestral hall, but what happened?” asked a member of the He family.

Before Village Chief He could say anything, Widow Qiu stood up with her hands on her waist and shouted: "It's not like something big happened. Then the Gu family promised to give our He family a batch of tofu and let us pick it up and sell it in other villages so that we can make money." . But the village chief kept this matter secret and only informed the three families of He Wazi, He Laotian and He Wanli that he wanted to hand over the tofu business to them and not let us do it. We are all the He family, why should we not let them do it? Let's make a living by making tofu together?!”

When the He family members heard this, they were all shocked and asked Village Chief He: "Village Chief, is this true?"

They had already heard some rumors when Widow Qiu made a fuss at Village Chief He's house, but they could bear it and didn't follow suit. But now that they heard this, they felt really uncomfortable.

Widow Qiu was extremely happy when she heard the questions from the He family. As long as the He family followed her in making trouble, not to mention the tofu business, even the village chief could win her over to the position of village chief.

The Lu family hates Village Chief He so much that they have long wanted to take away the position of Village Chief He and make Lu Laosan the village chief. As long as she accomplishes this, she can go to the Lu family to take credit.

Village Chief He did not answer the words of the He family members, but pointed at Widow Qiu and said: "The ancestral hall is an important place, and the clan leader and the clan elders have not spoken yet, how can there be any reason for a woman to yell? You have violated the clan rules, come on, take it. She held it down and hit twenty boards.”

Village Chief He is the head of the He family. As soon as he said this, ten members of the He family stood up immediately. They were people who specialized in enforcing the clan rules. Ignoring Widow Qiu's shouts, they grabbed her and pushed her down on a bench. Go up and bang the board.

“Ah—” Widow Qiu screamed in pain. She tried to break away but couldn't. She could only threaten: “Stop, stop, if you dare to hit me, the Lu family will not let you go!”

When the He family heard this, thinking about how they had been bullied by the Lu family, they beat them even harder.

Many members of the He family cursed: "Hit her, beat this shameless prostitute hard, and make Father Shanwa angry!"

 Shanwa's father was a good man. When he was alive, he often went hunting in the mountains, and everyone in the He family ate the game he gave them.

 But Widow Qiu was a shameless person. Because of her good looks, Shanba's father had just been dead for two months, and she started hooking up with the Lu brothers.

Dachu allowed the widow to remarry, and the He family did not want Widow Qiu to be guarded by Shanwa's father. After rumors spread in the village, the clan sent an old woman to find Widow Qiu, saying that if she could not keep her Yes, you can remarry, don't make it so ugly.

 But Widow Qiu didn't know why she was so upset that she said she would not remarry and would raise the mountain baby herself.

The clan had no choice. Seeing that she was unwilling to remarry, they couldn't tie her up and send her to the Lu family. They could only give her a warning and ask her to take care of Shanba and grow up, and not to be a slave to the He family or Shanba again. An embarrassing thing for father and son.

Unexpectedly, Widow Qiu went too far and refused to remarry. In the end, the situation became so unbearable that the entire He family's face was ruined by her. By the time the village chief wanted to drive her out of Dafeng Village, it was no longer possible. Widow Qiu actually convinced the Lu brothers to come forward and warn them not to drive Widow Qiu away.

In fact, the He family knew very well that the Lu family just wanted to use Widow Qiu to slap the He family in the face. But the Lu family's daughter was the concubine of the county magistrate, and she was protected by the county magistrate. How could they dare to offend the Lu family.

I can only endure it, and I have endured it for so many years.

 The twenty big slabs were quickly finished, and Widow Qiu was beaten until she fainted. Several women from the He family took her aside to guard her.

He Daqian and He Laosi were trembling with fear. Unexpectedly, Village Chief He, who had been cowardly for twenty years, actually showed his power.

The Widow Qiu is protected by the Lu family. If any village chief dares to beat her, wouldn't they be beaten to death?

Village Chief He looked at He Daqian and He Laosi who were trembling all over. He was not polite to them and had someone push them down and hit them ten times each.

He Daqian and He Laosi were beaten until they screamed. After the beating, they were taken aside.

After teaching these thorns a lesson, Village Chief He said to the He family: "I personally went to the Gu family to ask for the tofu business. I can make it for whomever I want. How can you be so embarrassed?!"

“The Gu family's tofu is in short supply, and the tofu they make every day is not enough to sell. I can get these for the He family because the Gu family has given them to me for the sake of my fellow villagers.”

"But before this business has even started, you are taking the lead in making trouble. Do you think that making trouble will lead to trouble? I tell you, it's a dream!"

“I will only make a living in this tofu business for tribesmen who are honest and willing to work. The Wazi family, Lao Tian family, and Wanli family are all more honest and can endure hardship than you. If you don't accept it, fine, get out of Dafeng Village and find another way!”

　　He Village Chief scolded him so hard that he could hardly breathe. After resting for a while, he continued to curse: "Don't even think about going to Gu's house to make trouble if you can't get tofu from me. Let me tell you, it's useless!"

"If you want to go to the Gu family to get tofu, you have to sign a contract with your fingerprints. Our family has already signed the contract. The Gu family only signs one family from each village as a representative. You don't want to make trouble with the Gu family. If you annoy the Gu family, they will report it to the official. Catch you! That's a family protected by the county captain, you can't afford to offend me!”

Farmers are all afraid of officials. When the He family heard this, they really felt timid. Originally, some people wanted to go to the Gu family to ask for tofu, but now they stopped thinking.

Village Chief He saw that they were scared, and finally said: "If you want to make a living by making tofu, you have to wait patiently and honestly. I have already made an agreement with the Gu family. When the Gu family makes more tofu, we will let the Gu family Give our He family a few hundred more pounds so that everyone can do this business. I am the patriarch of the He family, can I not think about you?"

When the He family heard this, they felt happy and asked the village chief: "Is what the village chief said true?"

He Dacang sneered: "Believe it or not, can my father still lie to you?"

Hearing this, the He family did not dare to question it anymore.

Village Chief He made such a fuss today just to beat up the He family. Seeing that they all learned a lesson, he waved his hands tiredly: "Let's all go back. I will take the matter of making a living seriously, whether it is tofu or other kinds of making a living, I will Even if I die, I will find a few for you so that you will not be poor for the rest of your life!"

These words were very serious. When Village Chief He said it, his voice was choked with sobs. He family members did not dare to stay any longer and left one after another.

He Daqian and He Laosi were also helped back home by their family members.

As for Widow Qiu, no one paid attention to her. After she woke up, she limped away, but instead of going home, she went to the Lu family to cry to Lu Laosan.
