I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 16 Let’s get something affordable

"Don't call me Uncle Chong, I don't have any relatives like you." Bai Chong's face was dark, and his usual amiable expression was gone at all.

He had already learned from the villagers' gossip that these two gossipy women were actually spreading rumors about his wife in the village, saying that she had done something shameful and scandalous when she was at her parents' home.

Bai Chong was so angry that he was going crazy. How could he give face to relatives like them who were worse than having nothing?

He said to Bai Lizheng, "Uncle Lizheng, they not only spread rumors about Wenxuan, but also about me, my wife, and my son. My family will never let this go just because they say a few good words."

Many people in the village heard what the two said, and now they are standing outside Bai Lizheng's yard. If he doesn't show his attitude, who knows how others will talk about their family behind their backs.

The two of them panicked when they heard this. Bai Lizheng had already mentioned the seven reasons for divorce, but Bai Chong still said that he would not just let it go. So how did he want to deal with them? He would not really force the clan to divorce them, would he?

The men and children of the two men were also a little panicked at this moment.

Of course, the children did not want to be motherless or have a stepmother. As for the two men, the younger one had deep feelings for his wife, who although had a bad temper was hardworking and pretty. Not to mention divorcing her, he even felt sorry when his wife was beaten.

Although the older one was dissatisfied with his wife, he had never thought of divorcing her given his family's financial situation. He did not help to plead for mercy just now because he was sure that Bai Lizheng was trying more to scare the two of them.

The two men looked at each other, then came together between Bai Jingzhou's family and Gu Wenxuan's family, bowed and kowtowed in a very embarrassed manner, apologizing and pleading for the two women.

The children of the two families also followed over, and they all cried and begged Bai Chong not to let the clan divorce their mother.

An elder in the tribe felt sorry for the child crying so he stepped in and acted as a peacemaker.

Of course, they didn't ask Bai Jingzhou's family and Gu Wenxuan's family to let the two people go unconditionally. They just asked them to raise their hands slightly and not let these children really lose their mother.

Bai Chong knew that Bai Lizheng didn't really intend to divorce those two people on behalf of the clan. He said this more to make those two people afraid and stop doing this kind of thing in the future.

The elders of the clan would certainly feel sorry for those children and would persuade their family and the Gu family to show mercy.

Without their support behind the scenes, Bai Chong would not be able to kick these two gossipers out of Baijia Village.

But "knowing" doesn't mean that he can't follow Bai Lizheng's words and increase his bargaining chips for subsequent bargaining.

He waved his hands at the elders with a sullen face, "Please don't talk to me about kinship. When they were making up stories about my family, they didn't care about kinship at all. Now it's their turn to suffer the consequences, but you want me to care about kinship. Does that mean kinship is used to bully honest people like us?"

Gu Yongming also said to the elder of the Bai clan who advised his family to take a step back: "Why, from what you mean, they are allowed to harm us, but we can't seek justice for ourselves?"

The elder waved his hand quickly, "That's not what I meant."

Although Bai Lizheng's surname is Bai, he will not unprincipledly favor his clan members just because the person who made the mistake is a member of the Bai clan and the victim is a person from another clan.

He was very far-sighted and knew that in today's world, he had to unite as many people in the village as possible, instead of protecting the dead branches and rotten leaves in the tribe and causing the morale of Baijia Village to become corrupt and people's hearts to fall apart.

The elder of the Bai clan, who had worked with him for many years, not only understood his thoughts and concerns, but also agreed with them. So even though there were only three families with the surname Gu in the village, and one of them had a bad relationship with Gu Wenxuan's family, the elder of the Bai clan did not dare to be unreasonable by relying on the prosperity of the Bai clan.

Not only did he not dare to be unreasonable, he did not even dare to complain to Gu Yongming directly, "Your wife slapped each of them more than ten times, and there was blood on their faces. How can you have the nerve to say that you didn't seek justice?"

He was afraid that if he said this, Gu Yongming's family would misunderstand that he intended to use Jia Guizhi to slap those two people in the face to offset the harm that the two people's malicious lies brought to their family.

With Jia Guizhi's explosive temper, he, an old man, didn't dare to rush to cause trouble. If someone pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would lose his face.

The old man carefully considered his words, trying not to irritate the angry Gu family members. "They did something wrong, so they should apologize and accept the punishment. I just hope you can have pity on those children and not let them be without their mother to take care of them at such a young age."

Li held her granddaughter's hand tightly and said, "When they were making up stories about my family, they didn't show any pity for my children at all. They were so vicious that they wanted to force my granddaughter to death!"

Elder: ...Alas!!! I am, really speechless.

He looked at the two families with disdain, "It was your family that did such a ruthless thing. Now you want them to show some mercy, shouldn't you also show some sincerity?"

Since that gossipy woman at home still wants it, then I should take up the responsibility.

It's no use just saying that you know you're wrong and that you'll keep them under control in the future. It would be better to do something practical as soon as possible to teach these two families a lesson and let Bai Jingzhou's family and Gu Wenxuan's family calm down a little.

The two families looked at each other, and then the two women who were mothers-in-law were the first to express their opinions.

"How about letting Guizhi beat them up again to vent her anger?"

"I think it's okay. As long as you don't kill him, you can beat him however you want!"

The person who spoke later was speaking directly to Jia Guizhi, but Jia Guizhi didn't buy it at all.

She sneered, "How can that be? I beat someone up, and the next thing they did was to make up a story about murder in my family. Who can afford that?"

Bai Lizheng thought for a moment and said, "Then let them apologize to your two families in front of the whole village and make it clear that those were all lies they made up and should not be taken seriously."

Bai Chong shook his head. "That won't do. If we just ask them to apologize, all kinds of rumors will be flying around in the village. Anyway, even if they are caught, they only need to apologize casually, and then everyone can talk nonsense."

Bai Lizheng said: "Of course it's not just that, this is just the most basic."

He looked at the elders of the Bai clan and said, "In my opinion, why not let them compensate the Gu family and the Jingzhou family with some rice, flour, cloth and other things."

Several elders nodded. They were farmers, and they valued practicality. How could they apologize without courtesy?
