Although she cried sincerely, no one present was moved at all, not even the people in Ma Er's family believed it.
Li Changqing ignored her and looked at Qian Dajuan, "You go ahead."
After hearing what he said, Aunt Ma, who was still crying, froze.
Qian Dajuan had disliked Aunt Ma for a long time, so there was no point in her covering up for her. She just told her everything that happened on the donkey cart that day.
Finally, fearing that the village chief and the elders would not believe her, she emphasized, "Village chief, elders, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lianhua and Uncle Erqiang. They all saw it.
When we were in the carriage, Ma Er's wife kept picking on Daya. Lianhua and I tried to stop her. At first, Daya just ignored her. Later, she started to pick on her because her words were so harsh, like she was spitting out feces.
Not to mention Daya, even I want to beat her up after hearing this."
Daya's father had just passed away, and she started saying all those nonsense in front of Daya. If it were her, she would have wanted to kill her.
Li Changqing looked at Aunt Ma Er who slowly stopped crying as Qian Dajuan told the story. What was there that he didn't understand?
Everyone else understood at this time. Although Ma Er's wife looked very pitiful now, she couldn't be pitiful at all when you think about what she had done.
"Village chief, elders." Li Xi stood up and pursed her lips. "I was too thoughtless in what happened today. I shouldn't have used a machete."
Li Xi knew that although she was right, it would be another matter if she started fighting, so she needed to give them and herself a way out.
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Xi said, several elders who felt that what Ma Er's wife did was indeed wrong, but that Daya using a machete to hack people was too much, changed their minds.
Alas, he is still a child after all. I'm afraid he was driven into a corner by Ma Er's wife, the foul-mouthed old woman.
"It's good that you know." Li Changqing guessed Li Xi's intention and secretly helped her smooth things over. "You are a little girl, why would you use a knife?"
"However," Li Changqing changed the subject, "Now everyone knows who is right and who is wrong in today's incident. Ma Er's wife, do you know you are wrong?"
When the elders heard what Li Changqing said, they nodded involuntarily. Yes, today's incident caused such a big fuss all because Ma Er's wife was careless with her mouth. She said everything dirty and smelly. She didn't feel wronged at all for the beating she received.
Even though Aunt Ma often fights with villagers and takes advantage of others, she is actually very good at reading people's expressions. She knows exactly who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.
Li Daya was just like her mother, a weakling who could do nothing even if beaten with eight sticks. Who would have thought that she could be so powerful? Aunt Ma knew that she had been beaten in vain today, but her cotton-padded jacket was no good. It was the only one she had.
Getting beaten doesn't cost anything, but making a cotton-padded jacket does cost a lot of money.
"Village chief, no matter what, Li Daya has to compensate me for this cotton-padded jacket of mine! This is the only cotton-padded jacket I have, and it costs a lot of money! I don't ask for more than one or two taels of silver." Aunt Ma said with her neck stiff.
The Ma family members hiding behind Aunt Ma said nothing when they heard this. They didn't need to charge into battle anyway. If they could really get the silver, it would belong to their entire family.
Li Changqing and the elders of the clan were all amused by her shameless look. She really dared to ask for one or two taels of silver.
"One or two taels of silver. You, Ma Er's wife, are ugly, but you have beautiful dreams." The elders of the Ma family were ashamed to admit that this was a member of their Ma family.
He could tell without even looking that the two elders of the Li family beside him were looking at him as if they were laughing at a joke.
Before Li Changqing could say anything, an old friend of the Ma family spoke up, "Where's Ma Lao Er? Come here!
Whenever something happens, you just hide back and just watch your wife throw a tantrum!
Can you still manage the household? Can you manage the household?
If you can't manage this family well, don't say you are from our Ma family anymore!"
The Ma family is very old. In the past, the second daughter-in-law of Ma was a badass. He was often laughed at by Old Man Li and others because of the troubles she caused. Today, he must not let her off lightly. He must teach them a lesson today.
Li Changqing and other clan elders looked at the aggressive look of the Ma family elder and knew that he wanted to clean up the mess himself. They all lived in the same village, so they naturally had to give him face.
Ma Lao Er hurriedly walked out from behind Ma Ersun and called out to the elder who had just spoken, "Second Master."
Ma Youliang frowned at his behavior and said, "Look at yourself, do you still look like the head of the family?
If you can't even control a woman, what else can you do?"
Hearing this, Li Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at the second uncle of the Ma family. What he said was interesting. She had thought it would be a drama of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice, but it turned out to be something else.
Li Changqing frowned and looked at Ma Youliang. He was pushing all the blame onto Ma Er's wife. Apparently, Li Xi was not the only one who thought so.
But he was not wrong. Today's incident was all done by Aunt Ma from beginning to end.
Ma Youliang knew without even looking that other people would definitely complain about what they said to him, but the clan was the most important, and for the sake of the reputation of their Ma family, even if he, Ma Laoer, was a worthless person, he still had the surname Ma, so he would definitely help if he could.
When the other members of Ma Laoer's family heard what the elder of the Ma family said, they moved away from Aunt Ma Er on the ground with awkward expressions. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that Aunt Ma Er was their mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, as if they were all forced, and now they suddenly realized and drew a line between themselves and her.
Aunt Ma was panicked and jumped up from the ground.
"Second uncle, why don't you make the decision for your own family?
I don't mind that Li Daya hit me, but it was she who chopped my cotton jacket and so many people saw it, she can't just not pay for it."
Madam Liu looked at Aunt Ma who was throwing a tantrum and felt that there was some truth in what she said. The cotton-padded jacket was indeed damaged by Daya and she should be compensated, but one or two taels of silver was too much. Her torn cotton-padded jacket was worth at most a hundred coins.
Just when Madam Liu couldn't help but speak, Li Xi, who was standing beside her, grabbed her sleeve and shook her head at her.
Li Xi felt a little tired when she saw Madam Liu looking at her in confusion. She had just discovered that her mother was such a soft-hearted person. Aunt Ma was still chattering away, but she was actually considerate of others.
"You got beaten because you scolded people, why should I give you money?" Hu Zi, who was standing next to Li Xi, said crisply.
"Fighting is fighting, compensation is compensation, Li Daya has to pay for damaging my cotton-padded jacket!
What do you know, you little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!" Aunt Ma Er was not afraid of the tiny tiger.
