After listening to his son's crying, veins on the back of Liu Yong's clenched hands suddenly exposed, and his face looked ferocious. Li, who was about to refute, was so scared that she took two steps back in an instant.

Liu Zheng and others had already reacted. Seeing that Liu Yong seemed to be about to take action, they hurriedly shouted at him, "Stop!" Then they walked over and stood between Liu Yong and Liu Dazhi.

Liu Yong retreated back to Qi and Tiedan with an unwilling look on his face.

After Liu Zheng separated the people, he looked at Li, Qi, and Tiedan and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then you guys should also tell me what you want to do."

Yu finally calmed down when she heard Liu Zheng was still intervening in the matter. She immediately squeezed in front of Liu Dazhi and shouted at Qi's mother and son:

"You shameless whore, you want to cheat me, right? Bah! If you dare to ask for money again today, I will hang myself at the door of your house and let the people in the neighboring village see how you force our Liu family!"

Wow, this old lady Liu is really bold. The onlookers sighed in their hearts and looked towards Liu Zheng involuntarily.

Sure enough, Liu Zheng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and Liu Yong was so angry that he jumped up again, but was grabbed by Qi.

Qi nodded at Liu Yong, then grinned at Yu and said with contempt, "Go ahead and hang yourself. Do you think I can stop you? If you don't have ropes, I have a few bundles of strong hemp ropes at home!"

"You, you...you vicious woman!" Yu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and her fingers were shaking as she pointed at Qi.

"What do you mean by 'me'? Don't get angry. You might even save the rope." Qi rolled her eyes.

"Puchi... cough cough." Xia Mo didn't expect that his sister-in-law had such a sharp tongue. He couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment, then he reacted and pretended to cough softly to cover it up.

Fortunately, there were other people laughing, and he was standing relatively far back, with the tall and strong Ling Chuan standing in front of him, so no one noticed him.

"Ah, I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart!" Yu screamed angrily and jumped up to grab Qi's face.

Fortunately, Liu Yong had been prepared. He took two steps forward and slapped Yu's hand away, and protected Qi behind him, otherwise her face would have had a few more scars.

"You old bitch, you still want to beat my wife? Believe it or not, I will beat you too!" Liu Yongwei said in a threatening tone.

"Mom." Liu Dazhi also stepped forward and grabbed Yu. Seeing this, Li did not dare to let her continue crying, for fear that it would backfire.

Liu Zheng stared at them for a long while, his mouth corners pressed tightly together, almost sunken.

It was not until the two sides stopped fighting that he said in a stern voice: "Old Lady Liu, I have been the village chief for so many years and have never seen anyone like you. It's fine if you are disrespectful to the elderly, but you also want to threaten the reputation of Liujia Village? Well, I want to see if you have the guts!"

Yu clenched her crutches, glared at Liu Zheng, then looked at the people around her who were watching the show. Especially when she saw Xia Mo, who was laughing at her, she almost bit her teeth and wished she could cut the little bastard into pieces.

Xia Mo raised his eyebrows and mouthed to her, "You guys are far from it."

"You little bastard, I should have thrown you into the cesspool and drowned you, and let you and your bitch mother go to see the King of Hell together!" Yu was provoked by Xia Mo and became furious, and she scolded him.

Xia Mo's eyes turned cold. You can scold anyone except Ze Ge'er and his mother!

His hands hanging at both sides gradually clenched, and then he quickly pushed aside the people around him and slapped Yu.

With a "bang", Yu's face was hit off-center.

The air around them instantly fell into deathly silence, and many people opened their mouths wide and looked at Xia Mo, whose chest was rising and falling rapidly, in shock.

Xia Mo's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling: "You can curse me, but you can't curse my mother. No matter who it is, if they dare to insult my mother again, I will beat them up!"

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he rushed out like a loach before everyone reacted and rushed back to the room. After all, he was not Ze Ge'er, and he couldn't help but beat Yu, but he didn't regret it at all.

Ling Chuan glanced at the closed door, then turned away without saying anything.

Yu sat down and started throwing a tantrum, muttering things like "Ze Ge'er is so inhumane that he wants to beat my own grandmother to death."

Liu Dazhi and Li were also greatly shocked. They stared at the slap marks on their mother's face for a long time. When he wanted to get angry, the perpetrator had already run away.

Liu Dazhi wanted to find Xia Mo angrily, but was stopped by Ling Chuan.

Liu Dazhi shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Ling Chuan didn't say anything, with a cold face, and refused to give in.

Qi and the others had come back to their senses. She rolled her eyes and tugged at the corner of Liu Yong's clothes.

Liu Yong understood and immediately stepped forward to grab Liu Dazhi's collar. "Why, you want to take this opportunity to skip me? Liu Dazhi, I tell you, no way! Even if Ze'er hit her, what's wrong? She is an old and disrespectful person who doesn't even let her mother go after she died. I only have that little strength, and the beating was light. If it were me, if I dared to say something bad about my mother, I would break his dog legs."

"Village chief, I don't want to embarrass you. Just ask them to compensate us one or two taels of silver for the injuries of my wife and son. It will be used to buy plasters. If it's not enough, we will pay for it ourselves."

"Then we were beaten too, and you have to pay compensation too." Li said loudly.

"Yes, you must compensate." As soon as the topic of money came up, Yu immediately agreed and stopped cursing Xia Mo.

Liu Zheng was silent for a long time, then glanced at the noisy Yu and said, "Just do as Liu Yong says, Old Lady Liu. I hope this is the last time." After saying that, he looked at Liu Dazhi, as if these words were also for him.

No matter how Yu made a fuss or how Li cried, Liu Zheng did not change his opinion.

Liu Yong also said that if they didn't give him money, he would ask his brothers to come and move the things, forcing Liu Dazhi to comply.

When Yu thought about how they had failed to bring the little bitch to justice and had to pay four taels of silver as compensation, she became so angry that she fainted and was finally carried back by Liu Dazhi.

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's just go." Liu Zheng said.

The village chief had spoken, and the others felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they left as well.

Before leaving, Liu Zheng said helplessly to Ling Chuan: "Don't be so impulsive next time. Bows and arrows have no eyes. And Ze Ge'er just now... was also a little impulsive. People's words are scary." After all, he is still young and has a bad temper.

Ling Chuan nodded upon hearing this.

Liu Zheng looked at the closed door again and left.

So, only the Qi family of three were left in the yard and did not leave, and Xia Mo, who had been eavesdropping behind the door, also came out.

Looking at Xia Mo, Qi helplessly pushed Tiedan, who looked hesitant, and said, "Go."

Tiedan looked at the amiable Xia Mo, then at the fierce-looking Ling Chuan, his little eyes full of apology and fear.

He wanted to apologize to his aunt, but Uncle Ling's eyes were too scary. Would he beat him? After all, if he hadn't been greedy, his aunt wouldn't have been beaten...

Tiedan looked timid and rubbed his little fingers together nervously.
