Chapter 19: Bah! Shameless

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The village chief held back his anger and did not curse out loud. He pointed at Old Madam Bao and the others. “Look, what kind of twisted logic is this? This wild boar was picked up by the Zhou family's daughter. Why is it yours now and why should it be shared with you?”

“So, according to what you said, in the future, whatever our villagers pick on the mountain will have to be distributed to all villagers?”

Then, he waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Don't be here picking bones out of an egg. You're talking nonsense. It must be busy at home right now. Go home and work.”

Those old women obviously wouldn't leave if they didn't achieve their goal. They used all their skills to make a scene, and were utterly shameless.

Moreover, after these old women started fussing, many villagers joined them. It was clear that they would not stop until they were given pork.

For a moment, there was no end to the argument.

The village chief's family and Liu Liangcai's family were full of anger.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli stepped forward and said, “It's not impossible if you want me to share the pork with everyone.”

A clear voice that's unique to a young lady rang out, which was especially prominent amidst the commotion.

Instantly, everyone looked at her.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli's words, Old Madam Bao and the others naturally thought that Zhou Xiaoli was afraid of them, and had a complacent expression on their faces.

Liu Liangcai quickly stopped Zhou Xiaoli in a low voice. “Little Li, don't be afraid of them. Uncle and the village chief are here. We can't let them succeed. This wild boar can be sold for a lot of money and your family is in urgent need of money.”

Even Lin Xiujuan, who had never liked Zhou Xiaoli, spoke up for her.

Zhou Xiaoli deeply felt that the only reason she did so was that she was afraid that she would not be able to get that much pork should they split it equally with the other villagers.

Lin Xiujuan placed her hands on her waist and was instantly in her shrew mode.

She was famous in the village for being shrewish. As soon as she spoke, it was priceless at how she scolded the others. “Pfft! Why are you so shameless? How old are you? Aren't you ashamed to snatch a young lady's things, huh?”

“Everyone in our village knows how difficult the situation is for the eldest son of the Zhou family.”

“There's no place for them to live in and no food to eat. Her mother is sick and her father is stupid. They were hoping that this wild boar could be sold for money to live but you wanted to snatch it away. Do you want to force the little girl to her death?!”

After being scolded by Lin Xiujuan, many people felt guilty.

However, Bao Meifang and Lin Xiujuan had never gotten along and often quarreled with each other.

Hence, coupled with the fact that she was a shameless person to begin with, Bao Meifang was able to fight back despite Lin Xiujuan's suppression.

She opened her mouth and spat. “Ms. Lin, don't talk nonsense! Of course you won't say anything. Your family got such a big piece of pork and you're pretending to be a good person. You're the shameless one!”

“You're shameless!”

“You're shameless. Your entire family is shameless!”

…

The two of them exchanged insults.

“I think the eldest son of the Zhou family still has the final say in this matter. Madam Lin, don't interfere blindly.”

At this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd which instantly attracted the attention of Zhou Xiaoli's family.

“That's right, that's right. The girl from the Zhou family has already said that they're willing to share. You're from the Liu family and you don't have any connections to them, so don't interfere!”

“That's right. It still depends on Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou, you do the talking.”

Those people were certain that Zhou Xiaoli was a pushover, and so she would not dare to disobey them.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.

Zhou Xiaoli was stubborn, and super stubborn at that. If one should cross her, it's clear that the other person would give way first!

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhou Xiaoli pretended to be afraid and looked at them timidly.

She had a small round face and her almond-shaped eyes were soft. At this moment, she deliberately put on a pitiful look which instantly made the enemy let down their guard.

Everyone felt that this person would be easy to bully and manipulate.

Wei Chiyu, who had just returned from outside, happened to see this scene. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he was on the mountain and saw how she had calmly dealt with the two wild boars.

In comparison to the girl pretending to be pitiful in front of him…

The corner of his mouth twitched.

This girl actually had two faces!

On the other hand, Liu Liangcai and the village chief immediately stepped up to support Zhou Xiaoli. “Little Li, don't be afraid of them. With Uncle Village Chief around, just say what you think!”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. She bit her lip and said, “If you want my pork, I can give it to you, but I have a condition.”

Madam Bao did not care at all. “What condition? Tell me!”

Zhou Xiaoli: “Aunts, I heard from you that everything on the north side of the mountain belongs to all the villagers of Boyu Village.”

“In other words, be it the trees, grass, or animals on the mountain, they should all belong to the villagers. Is that what you mean?”

“Hmph, that's what I meant.” Bao Meifang and the others crossed their arms, their faces full of pride.

They felt that they had Zhou Xiaoli in their hands, but they did not know that they had in fact, fallen into the trap that Zhou Xiaoli set out.

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Alright, I understand.”

Then, she tapped her chin and said softly, “Yes, then we'll do as you say. I think that all the villagers' families have to split anything that we pick from the mountain equally.”

“There's no reason that only our family has to split, right? Therefore, my condition is that everyone must be treated equally and split all things in their house equally. With that, I will agree to share the wild boar with everyone.”

Zhou Xiaoli's voice was neither loud or soft, and it did not sound domineering, but everyone present heard it clearly.

As soon as these words left her lips, the village chief smiled. “Miss Zhou is quite smart,” he thought.

He immediately clapped his hands and said, “Yes, I think Miss Zhou is right. There's a balance to everything. If you want to split the pork equally, then take out everything in your family and share it equally with everyone else!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

At this moment, someone raised an objection. “But Village Chief, the wild vegetables and mushrooms we picked aren't worth sharing. Besides, we've already eaten them. How can we split them now?”

The village chief snorted coldly and said, “Then we'll convert it all into cash and split it equally.”

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli was smiling in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. “I think Uncle Village Chief's idea is good. Let's convert it into cash for ease of calculation.” she said in a harmless tone.

“Oh, right, don't try to hide it. You have to take them all out, or it won't be fair. Eh, Grandma, you're here too.”
