The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 49 Decision
"You can't do this!" "My son, my son!"

"It's all because Mother is useless..."

The middle-aged woman couldn't pull him away, and worried about the child behind her, so she didn't go forward. Instead, she sat on the big rock and slapped her thigh hard.

She also shouted at the young woman, "What are you standing there for? Don't you know to go and pull him away? You're just watching! He's your husband's nephew!"

"I..." The young woman, heavily pregnant, dared not go up.

"What are you doing?!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Liulang and the others stopped what they were doing, turned around and saw that, good heavens, it was people coming from another route.

They're obviously not from Hujia Village.

There were more than twenty people who came this time, most of them were wives like them, and there were also three men.

They rushed over.

When Wang Dalang saw that there were people among them, he called out to his younger brothers from a distance, "Come back first."

Wang Silang pulled his younger brothers along, saying, "Let's go back!"

The boys immediately left, and the middle-aged woman quickly pulled the little boy up.

His face was already swollen from being slapped.

"My son, you have such a miserable life!"

The little boy buried his face in the woman's arms, crying incessantly, his body trembling uncontrollably. He was a far cry from the fierce and scathing man he had been just moments before.
The middle-aged woman felt waves of pain in her heart, more painful than if she had been beaten herself.

"Your Hu Family Village is really bullying us! If you don't want to forgive, then don't. Why resort to violence?" a young woman said indignantly. "Believe it or not, we'll report you to the authorities and have all of you arrested!"

The people of Shanyang Village never expected that the Wang family would be so stubborn.
Actually, this group of people had arrived a while ago. After discussing it, they decided to have the two people who seemed the most vulnerable bring their children over first.

I was hoping it would soften their hearts.

Unexpectedly, after exchanging only a few words, the little boy from the Wu family got beaten up instead.

The Wu family's little child is their treasure. Back then, when they resorted to cannibalism, the Wu family actually exchanged all three of their granddaughters for him.

I heard that he even ate a baby so that the Wu family's son wouldn't go hungry!
This is also the only child in the entire village who has ever eaten a baby.

"If this fight continues, Wu's son will really be beaten to death, and when we get back, Wu Laoliu will definitely cause a scene!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

They only showed up when things were getting out of control.

"Then go and report it to the authorities!" Old Mrs. Wang returned at some point. She walked forward with a cold smile, looking at each of the people in Shanyang Village with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"I was wondering why the people of Shanyang Village were doing such beastly things, and I thought I was wronging them. Now it seems I wasn't wrong. The whole village is full of beasts, and they're rotten to the core!"

A cowardly soldier is one coward, and a cowardly general leads to a whole army of cowards. Their problem stems from a crooked upper beam, which causes the lower beams to become crooked as well.

Even without this incident of exchanging children to eat, given the prevailing customs in their village, they would eventually rot away completely!
"You bastard—" The men hiding behind couldn't stand it anymore, their faces turning very unfriendly.

"What kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman? If you're so capable, come forward and talk to this old woman properly, and see if she can drown you with a single spit!"

The three men looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Grandma Wang looked down on those three men even more.

He's obviously the kind of good-looking but useless person who just talks big but is actually useless.

With Grandma Wang back, the Wang family felt like they had found their pillar of support. They were already fearless, and now they were even more confident.

When Old Wang hurried home, he saw more than twenty people sitting on the big rock in front of his house.

"What's wrong?" Old Wang asked.

"Don't worry about that for now, wait for Village Chief Hu to come over."

Grandma Wang had already asked Wang Dalang to call Village Chief Hu, and about fifteen minutes later, Village Chief Hu arrived.

After he arrived, he quickly understood the whole story, and his brows furrowed even more as he heard the rest.

Aside from the initial incident of having his grain stolen, he couldn't muster any goodwill towards the people of Shanyang Village.

This incident, in particular, made him see the true nature of Shanyang Village: it was a group of lunatics.

Village Chief Hu said, "Don't try to pin the mistakes you made on a child. Besides, I don't want to hear anything more about Ayu not being from our village. She's been raised in our village since she was a baby. What do you mean by 'picked up'? You pick up one yourself and let me see."

"He's just a money-loser. So what if he's good-looking? He'll still end up in the pot—" A man had barely finished speaking when a small stone flew towards him and hit him on the forehead.

Wang Wulang brandished his slingshot and made a face at the other person.

Wang Silang silently put down the broom in his hand.

"You can't even behave yourselves on someone else's turf. That's all the Shanyang Village has to offer." Village Chief Hu silently added another mark against them in his mind.

Seeing the discontent on the faces of the people from Shanyang Village, Village Chief Hu didn't care. He slightly curled his lips into a detached smile: "It seems our village is too kind. We were thinking that since the men in your village did something wrong, the others were innocent. But now it seems there's no need to have any sympathy for you!"

"Don't worry, no one in your village who has made a mistake will get away with it."

"Don't think that just because our Hu Family Village is poor, we can be bullied. Don't forget, our village once produced a general!"

The people of Shanyang Village panicked and knelt down one by one like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Village Chief Hu, you're a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against us!" "Please have mercy and let Ayu go and speak to the county magistrate. It's just a matter of saying a few words, please..."

"We were just forced into this situation; who wouldn't want to be a law-abiding citizen..."

Village Chief Hu simply leaped to the side, not giving them a chance to kowtow.

"Go back on your own, or we'll send you back. You choose one."

The people of Shanyang Village remained motionless, clearly unwilling to make a choice.

"It seems it's time to make a trip to your Shanyang Village." Village Chief Hu was very disappointed.

He still remembered Cao Hua, the village chief of Shanyang Village, who was originally a very principled person, but unknowingly he had also become one of the executioners.

Cao Hua was sentenced and is currently imprisoned in the county jail.

The people from Shanyang Village were dumbfounded; this was not what they had expected.

They had thought that if a group of orphans and widows knelt down before them, crying and begging for their forgiveness, the matter would be resolved.

Why does this happen?

Isn't it said that the people of Hujia Village are very kind?
Last time the men caused trouble, didn't they also have people in the village deal with it?
[Honey, these people have ill intentions. Remind your family to be careful.]

But that's all we can do; after all, the other party hasn't done anything yet.

Little Ayu immediately hugged Liu's neck, brought her little head close to Liu's ear, and slowly said to her, "Mother, those people are so fierce, I'm scared. Will they do bad things?"

"Don't be afraid, Ayu, your mother is here." Liu gently patted little Ayu's back, slowly comforting her. "Your father and the others are here too. They can't do anything bad."

Xiao Ayu glanced at Wang Chuanman.

Wow, Dad is amazing, he knows how to use knives.

She patted her chest, relieved.

"Elf, my dad is so powerful, I'm not afraid."

Okay then.

Fearing that little Ayu would be frightened, Liu simply called all the children to the kitchen and told them to wait patiently for their buns, without having to go out again.

Fortunately, the steamer was covered, so the aroma didn't escape.

With Village Chief Hu here, the rest is easy.

Village Chief Hu was worried. The villagers were very dissatisfied with Shanyang Village, feeling that they had been punished too lightly. Now it was good that they had driven all those beasts out.

He immediately found several clan elders who were willing to go to Shanyang Village, and sent a few young people to run errands to inform Shanyang Village first.

Then he led his men directly to Shanyang Village, using this as leverage to force the village elders to expel those people from the clan on the spot.

As for those people crying and wailing, acting like they were going to die, the people of Hujia Village didn't care at all.

"Your Hu Family Village is too ruthless!"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

"You should be lenient when you can, so why won't you let us go!"

"Your village didn't have any deaths? Our village did have deaths! We've already paid the price, what more do you want?!"

Faced with the angry shouts of the people from Shanyang Village, the people from Hujia Village remained calm and even said, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

"People from Shanyang Village should be afraid of retribution. Lock your doors and windows at night to avoid being haunted by vengeful spirits!"

Let them go?

Just kidding, it's good enough that we didn't beat them up!

They've already bullied them, why would they give you a friendly face? They don't even have the patience for a spring breeze!

The paralyzed and seriously ill men were moved one by one into the dilapidated house, which was truly dilapidated, leaking wind and rain, and on the verge of collapse.

They were the ones who truly felt regret from the bottom of their hearts.

If they had known it would turn out like this, they shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place!
Eating children is ultimately a loss of conscience and morality.

Some of the wives who were kicked out were thinking about getting a divorce and returning to their parents' home.

Some people were indignant: "Why did the clan elders drive us out? Didn't they turn a blind eye to the child swapping back then?"

"These hypocritical old fogies!"

"If we can't survive, they shouldn't expect to have an easy time either."

"This is not over yet!"

Little Ayu had no idea what was happening outside. She sat in the kitchen, holding a large white steamed bun in her hands, and carefully nibbling on it.

Each bite is so delicious!
Chew it, it's so sweet!
At that moment, Zhang Zhan, who was in the county government office, suddenly received a letter.

His expression changed drastically after opening the letter.

"He actually came here?!"
