Chapter 32 The Difficult Li Yanshi
The village chief did not think that she was exaggerating. Her appearance, temperament, and skills all showed that she was not an ordinary person. If she was really angered, she had plenty of ways to destroy the body and get rid of the evidence.
When he was traveling with his teacher to study, he had witnessed the ruthless and decisive methods used by some gangsters.
He once heard of a case in which a family of seven, ranging in age from seventy to three, all died at the hands of a widow. The widow was a gangster who, when passing by the town, was attracted by its beautiful scenery and wanted to stay there for a few months to relax.
Unexpectedly, there was a gossipy woman next door to the yard where she rented. She kept talking about all kinds of gossips in the Zhang and Li families to others every day. After learning that she was a widow, she made up all kinds of stories and even said that she heard many men talking in her yard, and they were different men.
People around looked at the widow with contempt. Even the second-rate thugs on the street had their eyes on her, but none of them had the courage to touch her directly and could only tease her verbally.
All this was seen by the woman, who exaggerated the story and made up a lot of nonsense. Some people were worried that she would teach the children bad things and wanted to drive her away, so they joined forces with a group of people to throw vegetable leaves at her.
Well, this stirred up a hornet's nest. She beat all the people on the spot, and poisoned the woman's water at night. The whole family ate the food cooked with the poisoned water, experienced a lot of pain, and then died.
Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to the gossip, but she couldn't stand it when vegetable leaves were thrown at her. She hit the person who threw the vegetable leaves back on the spot. She used a bag of medicine to kill the culprit, all seven members of her family.
The widow did not move out immediately, but waited patiently for the government officials to come and investigate.
Everyone knew that there was a conflict between them, but there was no record of her buying poison, and no witnesses saw her poisoning, so the authorities could not arrest anyone without evidence.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that with her unfathomable Kung Fu skills, it would be easy for her to get poison, but so what?
Again, where is the evidence?
The widow still lived in that yard, but a month later, she moved away in full view of everyone, and no one knew where she went.
"Hoo—" The village chief exhaled deeply, looked at the embarrassed Li Laizi and his wife with a serious face, and asked: "Now that you have let out your anger, are you satisfied?"
Yan Yiyi shook her head: "I'm not satisfied. They haven't compensated me for my mental damages yet!"
"What is mental damages?" If he remembered correctly, there was no such thing in the law.
"She maliciously slandered and defamed me, causing damage to my reputation and serious mental harm. Shouldn't she compensate me?"
Yan Yiyi smiled meaningfully, "If the village chief thinks I'm making a big deal out of nothing, I don't mind letting your granddaughter experience what it means to be hurt by harsh words."
The village chief has a thirteen-year-old granddaughter. In this dynasty, some people have already started to find husbands for the little girl, while some start a few years later. However, if any rumors that are detrimental to her reputation spread at this time, she probably won't be able to marry into a good family.
The village chief was under a lot of pressure, and his face was gloomy: "Li Yanshi, do you still want to stay in Dashan Village?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I just got married and don't have much affection for Dashan Village. My husband and father-in-law are also outsiders who have only been here for more than ten years, so they don't have a deep relationship.
We can move out at any time. With my abilities, it won't be difficult for me to live a good life.
But I will not easily let go of those who go against me.
I can't stay here any longer, and similarly, those who are my enemies can't stay here any longer either. It's okay if you stay here, and you'll have to bear the consequences yourself~"
Yan Yiyi spoke lightly, but only a fool could not understand the threat in his words.
At this time, the village chief's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out.
He had been the head of the village for so many years, but this was the first time he was controlled by a little girl. He glanced at the miserable couple Li Laizi and the messy Li family yard, and he didn't have the courage to confront her head-on.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't have offended the village chief since she had just gotten married, but the village chief was used to smoothing things over and trying to make a big thing into a small one. But why should she suffer?
If she can't stay in this place, then change it. If that doesn't work, change it again. If that still doesn't work, then create a comfortable environment for herself. Anyway, she has the ability and resources.
She can wrong others but not herself, otherwise wouldn’t she be unworthy of the life she has picked up again?
The other villagers who heard her words all looked at her with strange and fearful eyes. At this moment, they unconsciously engraved the words "Li Quezi's wife is not easy to mess with" deeply in their minds.
Seeing that the village chief was helpless against her, Li Laizi and his wife realized belatedly that they were in big trouble and it was too late to regret.
The village chief finally chose to compromise. How could he, a country boy, fight against her?
Moreover, the ones who have offended her now are Li Laizi and his wife. They are hated by everyone in the village. Why should he offend this old lady just for these two troublemakers?
After calming down, the village chief looked at Yan Yiyi and said, "Yan, what are you going to do?"
"I've already said it before. One is to compensate me with ten taels of silver, and the other is to break Li Laizi's legs and send Li Laizi's wife to see the authorities. They just chose the second option. I was just about to take action, and you came?"
The village chief was surprised to hear that so much silver was needed. No wonder Li Laizi and his wife went crazy.
"Hey! Ten taels of silver is really too much for us farmers. Can it be less?"
Yan Yiyi saw that the village chief had a sincere look on his face. She didn't know much about the prices and money of that era. All she could think of were the novels she had read before about the tragic love between princes and princesses, in which people offered rewards of several or even dozens of taels of silver.
It turns out that ten taels is a lot here!
She turned her head to look at Xin Ye, and Xin Ye understood from her eyes that she was asking for help.
Xin Ye stepped forward and blocked Yan Yiyi behind him, standing in front of her in a protective manner: “Village Chief, my wife is used to spending lavishly on weekdays and doesn’t understand the life of country people.
How about this, for your sake, we'll give you a 50% discount, a flat price of five taels."
With the strong labor force in Li Laizi's family, it is not difficult to save five taels of silver a year. But if Li Laizi is willing to find a job seriously and take care of the crops in the fields honestly, he will not be called Li Laizi.
When he was a child, everyone called him Li Ertou. Later, after he grew up and got married, he behaved more and more erratically, like a lazy bum, so people called him Li Laizi.
When Mr. and Mrs. Li Laizi heard that they were asked for five taels of silver, they were so frightened that they started howling loudly and crying poor. They were really poor and could only find one tael of silver after emptying their family savings!
The village chief looked at Xin Ye, and seeing his determined expression, he knew that he would not give in. Then he looked at Yan Yiyi who looked indifferent. He was worried that if he bargained again, the price would probably go even higher. Who knew what this old lady was thinking.
