The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

When Li Xiulan heard that the village chief didn't want to intervene, she cried even louder. "Village chief, you can't just ignore it. My daughter Wanwan is going to marry Mr. Zhang, the only scholar in the village. He will take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. The Yan hunter family is so poor that they can only do petty thefts."

Chu Wanwan also echoed: "Village head, you can't encourage this kind of atmosphere. If everyone follows suit, it will be terrible. Wouldn't our village become a village of hooligans?"

The village chief was suffocating, unable to breathe in or out. He really wanted to curse, but what could he do without any evidence? Last time he followed them, and whoever got it was scolded and left in shame. This time, they came directly to threaten him.

The village chief took a long time to come up with a sentence: "If you have evidence, go to the government office. I can't make the decision."

Chu Wanwan said: "You are the head of the village. Villagers would come to you when they have difficulties, but you keep shirking responsibility. Could it be that you really accepted some favor from Chu Xiaoxiao?"

Li Xiulan also screamed, "Yes, you accepted a chicken from him last time. This time he stole money from my family. Could it be that he gave you some benefits, and you deliberately covered it up for him?"

The village chief almost lost control and wanted to hit someone. Li Xiulan really dared to say anything without any evidence.

The village head's wife rushed out with a broom and started beating Li Xiulan: "You shameless person, you are the most shameless person in the whole village. You bullied the young master of the Chu family, occupied his land and house, and now you are slandering him for stealing your money. How can you be so shameless?"

"If you have evidence, go to the government. If you don't have any evidence, what do you want my man to do? I'm joining you in slandering a good man. You have no shame. My family still needs him."

Li Xiulan and Chu Wanwan were beaten so hard that they were on their backs, and they kept shouting, "Oh, you crazy woman, village chief, don't bother to do anything about it, she is hurting people for no reason."

The village chief stood there motionless, watching his wife beat the man out of the door, "Li Xiulan, if you dare to come to my house and make trouble again, I will beat you every time I see you."

After saying that, she slammed the gate and stood in the yard cursing, still not satisfied. The villagers nearby naturally heard it clearly and knew that Li Xiulan was jealous of Hunter Yan because he bought the cow and then accused him of stealing his silver.

Li Xiulan and Chu Wanwan returned empty-handed and had their hair messed up by the village head's wife. They went home in embarrassment.

The mother and daughter went out early in the morning and there was no one to make breakfast. Chu Peng had no choice but to go into the kitchen and do it himself. Seeing the two of them coming back in such a mess, he went up to ask what happened.

When Chu Peng heard that they went to see the village chief, not only did he not get his support but he was also beaten out by his wife, he said nothing, went to the kitchen with an expressionless face to prepare the meal, and after breakfast he went to the fields silently.

Now more than half of the family's land is gone, and it's not the busy farming season, so there's only weeding and catching insects, work that even a child can do. Chu Lao Er got lazy and let Chu Peng do it alone.

Li Xiulan felt aggrieved. The village chief ignored them, and they didn't dare to go to the government office to file a complaint. If they went directly to Yan's house to make trouble, Chu Xiao was not a good person either. What's more, if they really angered Yan Zhenshen, what would happen if he came to her house and beat her husband?

But she had to accept the loss of the forty-five taels of silver that was stolen from her home. Li Xiulan was furious, but later she thought that Yan Zhenshen was a hunter and he would definitely go up the mountain to hunt. Chu Xiao had gone with him last time and might go next time too. If she made trouble again when these two were not at home, she would not be afraid of Zhao Guizhi.

Li Xiulan has added another topic of conversation to the village. It must be said that the slack season in the village is really rich and colorful.

It took two days for Chu Xiao to hear about Li Xiulan's making a scene at the village chief's house.

The two had been back for a few days and were packing up to go up the mountain. Coincidentally, Wang Wu came back from the city and brought Luo Ge'er to express his gratitude in person.

Wang Wu gained a lot of knowledge during this trip to the city. He told them loudly how high the arch bridge was, and how people walked on it and boats passed underneath. He also said that there was a five-story building in the city, and that the girls inside were all dressed lightly, had their eyebrows drawn and red, and smiled at everyone they saw. He also said that he spent two taels of silver to order four dishes at a restaurant, and the portions of the dishes were not enough for him to eat alone.

Chu Xiao found it curious and even thought about whether he could make his big house five-story. He just didn't know what the construction method was here and whether it would be sturdy.

This time, Wang Wu came over and brought them two small cans of fruit wine, saying that the woman liked this flavor the most, and he bought it specially for Luo Ge'er to try. But she got pregnant, so of course she couldn't drink it, so he decided to give it to Xiao Ge'er to try.

In addition to fruit wine, I also took some kelp, dried shrimp and the like. The city is not close to the sea, but there is a canal, so many merchants will stop in the city, and naturally they can buy some seafood. There are no fresh ones, but there are quite a few dried ones.

That is, they were chatting and mentioned the incident of Li Xiulan being beaten out by the village chief's wife.

Chu Xiao said with a fake smile: "Let them make a fuss. If the fuss gets bigger, I don't mind going to the government office to help them."

Wang Wu smiled cheerfully: "Xiao Ge'er is still very courageous. If we really go to the government office, I will get the villagers to testify for you and sentence them to thirty strokes of the cane."

Yan Zhenshen frowned disapprovingly: "Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Xiao held Yan Zhenshen's hand and looked at him innocently: "Brother Shen, you don't have to endure it anymore. I'm not afraid of them coming to trouble me. I'll just take it as a fun thing. But if we go up the mountain and Li Xiulan comes to our house, do you think mother can handle it? Even if she can, she will still have to endure the anger."

"And my third sister has a bad temper. I'm afraid she'll get impulsive and start fighting with others. Then it will be even harder to say what will happen."

Yan Zhenshen remained silent.

Wang Wu patted his chest and said, "Boss Yan, you should go up the mountain if you need to. If things don't work out, I, Wang Wu, am still here in the village. If Li Xiulan dares to make trouble, I will block the door for you. No one can enter your yard."

"Okay, then our family will depend on you to go up the mountain." Chu Xiao said.

Wang Wu laughed loudly, then stopped talking and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Yan Zhenshen asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Wu hesitated for a while. "Boss Yan, I remember you got wild honey in the mountains before. A lot of the honey in our county is diluted with water. I was wondering if you could get me some in the mountains. I want to sweeten my husband's mouth."

"The beehive I found before is gone this year. It must have been taken out by a blind bear."

Wang Wu shut up. There was nothing he could do about it, but he still felt a little disappointed.

Luo Ge'er didn't mind it too much, and said with a smile: "The wild fruits that Xiao Ge'er picked last time were also delicious. I've been craving for them recently, so I'd like to trouble Xiao Ge'er to bring me a few more next time. It doesn't have to be many, just a few to satisfy my craving."

"Okay." Chu Xiao said, "I'll help you find the beehive too. I remember there seemed to be a lot of bees in a valley where I collected herbs before. I'll take some time to go over and take a look. If I find any, I'll bring them back for you."

"Ah?" Wang Wu was a little embarrassed. He troubled Yan Hunter because of their brotherly friendship. It was not nice to trouble a little brother to do such dangerous things: "No, no, no, these wild bees are very fierce. Don't take risks."

Chu Xiao said: "Whether we can find it or not is still uncertain. If we find it, I can ask Brother Shen to go get it."

Yan Zhenshen nodded.

Only then did Wang Wu laugh embarrassedly.
