Old Mrs. Li, who used to have the final say in the Li family's old house, was like a mouse seeing a cat and had to hide after being beaten up by Li Mengyue several times.

Recently, he saw Old Man Li going to the fields every day, but he didn't see Old Mrs. Li. He thought she was staying at home recuperating from her injuries, but he didn't expect her to come out again.

If you want to hang out just go ahead and hang out, there are so many places in the village you can go to, why do you have to be so blind as to cause trouble, especially someone who looks like someone not easy to mess with.

At this time, Village Chief Li looked at Old Lady Li sitting on the ground crying, and he only hated himself for not being blind and deaf. How could he come back from the fields? He wanted to go to the river to check out the waterwheel and see how the pulley was installed, but he had the bad luck to meet Old Lady Li.

Village chief Li just felt unlucky. He should have checked the almanac before going out today, otherwise he would have encountered bad people and things.

I'm afraid that after meeting Old Lady Li this time, he will be so sick that he won't be able to eat for three days.

Because as the village chief, when he saw villagers being "bullied" by outsiders, no matter what the truth was, he should stand on the side of Old Lady Li and help fight against the outsiders. This would live up to the trust of the villagers.

But he really hated Old Lady Li, and didn't want to take Xie Ming to find Yue girl, so he turned and walked in the opposite direction.

As luck would have it, when Old Lady Li was wiping her tears with her sleeve, she caught sight of Village Chief Li and immediately gained confidence, shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Ah, village chief, someone bullied me. Please come and help me to judge the matter. If you don't compensate me with twenty taels of silver today, no, even forty taels of silver will not be enough."

Hearing this, Village Chief Li quickened his pace, then immediately stopped, turned around and walked back.

He was not afraid of Old Lady Li, nor was he afraid that Old Lady Li would not be able to extort money from anyone. Instead, he was worried that Old Lady Li would suddenly have a brain attack and offend Xie Ming's master, who would make her suffer the consequences.

If that were the case, he would be considered derelict in his duty as the village chief. He allowed villagers to be bullied by outsiders on his own territory. Other villagers would surely doubt his ability. In the future, villagers would not agree with what he said, and the things he assigned to them would not be implemented.

Under normal circumstances, he would have no worries. He was just a village chief, so he didn't have to be the chief. He was happy and relaxed. He didn't have to give money to the villagers every year, and his family could live a better life.

But it’s not possible this year. With the arrival of Yue girl in the village, everyone’s mental outlook has changed so much. We should continue.

What's more, this year is more difficult than previous years. There has been no rain for a long time, and a locust plague is about to break out. The water level in the river has dropped sharply, and it will dry up soon, so that there will not be a drop of water in the river.

The wells in the village are almost out of water. The water that has been drawn in recent days contains mud and sand. If it weren't for Yue Yatou who found five places and dug five wells, I'm afraid that everyone in the village would have no drinking water now.

There was also a serious drought in the fields. Before, there was water in the river, and every household could carry water to irrigate the fields.

But there is no water in the river. What can we do even if we have a lot of strength? We can't fetch water and irrigate the crops. The reduction in production is the least of our worries. It is normal not to see a single grain of food.

But as common people, they depend on nature for their livelihood. If nature does not provide them with a way to survive, there is nothing they can do.

He originally thought that this year would be even more difficult, but he didn't expect that the village had welcomed a noble person. After catching locusts for a while, not only their Xinghua Village, but also the other six villages around them made a lot of money from the locusts.

In addition, Yue girl also brought water from the mountain. Next, she had to clear the river and build a large reservoir. There were so many things to do. Everyone in the village, young and old, was so busy trying to make a living that they had no time to take care of Old Lady Li's trivial matters.

But he couldn't do that, because he was the village chief. If he really left today, and something happened to Old Lady Li, who knows what would happen.

Old Lady Li watched the village chief walk away, thinking that he would leave her alone. Unexpectedly, the village chief came back again. She was so proud that she murmured to herself, "Boy, what's wrong with riding a carriage? I just want to ride it and satisfy my urge to ride a carriage. Why did you reject me without saying anything? Humph, the village chief is here. If you are not satisfied with the compensation, you will never leave Xinghua Village. What a joke."

Village Chief Li had no idea what Old Lady Li was thinking, nor did he know that her mental activities were so active. He walked up to Old Lady Li and said impatiently, "Gui Li, why are you acting crazy instead of staying at home?"

Old Mrs. Li was still waiting for the village chief to vent her anger and ask the people on the carriage to compensate her with silver. She was dumbfounded when she heard the village chief's words. What did she mean by "she's having a seizure again?"

What's wrong with her? Why should she stay at home? She has legs, she can go wherever she wants. The village chief can't do anything about her.

However, she only dared to think about these words in her heart and never said them out loud.

After all, she still hopes that the village chief will stand up for her. If she offends the village chief too much and he just walks away without caring about her, then who can she cry to?

"Woo..."

Seeing the attitude of the village chief, Old Lady Li knew it would not be easy to get him to come out, so she did not dare to confront him. Instead, she imitated the young girl, raised her sleeves, covered her face, and pretended to cry.

The village chief was disgusted to see an old woman like Mrs. Li imitating a delicate little girl and crying.

He knew that Mrs. Li was always capable, but he never expected her to be so bold.

"Okay, let's go on howling."

Old Mrs. Li was crying hard, but suddenly she heard the village chief's impatient words. She was so scared that she immediately stopped crying and burped a few times.

"belch……"

"belch……"

"Hiccup... Village Chief, I was bullied by outsiders. Why are you being so mean to me instead of helping me vent my anger first?"

Village Chief Li had other things to do and didn't want to waste his time on bad people and bad things, so he said firmly: "Mrs. Li, you know exactly what's going on. If you insist that I confront the people in the car, it will be you who will be embarrassed, not me."

Seeing that the village chief would not stand up for her, Old Lady Li secretly resented him. He was just the village chief.

The old woman took the initiative to ask the village chief for help because she respected him, but she didn't expect the village chief to be so disrespectful. When Li Jian becomes a high-ranking official, if the village chief wants to curry favor with his son, he will have to see whether she agrees or not.

Xie Yunzhou in the car had a very grim look on his face. He didn't expect to meet a difficult old woman as soon as he arrived in Xinghua Village.

When they arrived at the carriage, they got in without saying a word. Manager Wang was also confused by Old Lady Li.

When did the Zhou Dynasty become so open that an old woman could climb onto a young man's car?

Shopkeeper Wang was so dumbfounded by Old Lady Li that he was not paying attention and let Old Lady Li take advantage of the opportunity and almost climb into the carriage.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and did not let the old woman succeed, otherwise the boss’s innocence would have been lost.

What happened next caught Xie Yunzhou and Manager Wang off guard.
