After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 79 I Can't Just Leave Like This

In front of Zeng Hua's stall, mulberry leaves and tofu were scattered all over the floor. Zhang Daniu's face was red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had been beaten. Zhang Daniu supported him, her face full of anger and pain, and tears were falling.

Opposite Zeng Hua and the others stood a group of people. Their faces were more or less bruised, but they folded their hands and looked arrogant.

Jiang Xiaohe and Wang Qiuxia hurried over to ask.

"Second Aunt, what happened?"

Zeng Hua's eyes turned red with anger, and he pointed at the people across from him: "We were selling things, and they were doing well, but they rushed over, and without saying anything, they overturned our stalls and smashed our equipment! Daniu argued with them for a few words, and then they pinned him down and beat him."

How could Jiang Xiaohe not understand when she saw the mess on the floor in front of her, the broken dishes and chopsticks, and the spilled mulberry leaf tofu?

"Is there still law here?" Jiang Xiaohe was very angry.

"We're going to report it to the police!"

The person on the other side heard Jiang Xiaohe's words and seemed to be amused by his words: "Report to the police? Qi!"

"Go ask around. This entire market is under the jurisdiction of my brother-in-law. If you want to report to the authorities, my brother-in-law is the emperor of this market!"

It turns out he is a relative.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and said, "Okay, your brother-in-law is the yamen runner in charge of this market, so please call your brother-in-law over. If he takes sides today and helps you without asking why, I will report him to the head of the pavilion as well as your brother-in-law!"

When he heard that he was going to sue his brother-in-law as well, the man's face changed immediately. He squinted at Jiang Xiaohe and rolled up his sleeves: "If you dare to involve my brother-in-law, I'll kill you!"

"Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Xiaohe looked at her without changing his expression.

Wang Qiuxia was afraid that he would really do something to Jiang Xiaohe, so she pulled Jiang Xiaohe and shook her head at her.

The man immediately pulled her up again and said warningly: "I tell you, this entire market is my territory, you dare to bark at me?"

Jiang Xiaohe sneered: "Your territory? This whole world belongs to the king! How dare you say this is your territory? Just what you said is enough to get you and your family into trouble!"

The onlookers were also talking about it.

Jiang Xiaohe learned from the onlookers that his family also ran a food stall in this market, and it must be that the food made by Zeng Hua and his friends affected his business, so they came to his door.

The man's face flushed with anger at what she said.

"Today, because of your own selfish desires, you overturned my shop and smashed my dishes. If you don't give an explanation, we will meet at the yamen. Then we will see whether your brother-in-law will listen to the head of the pavilion or to you!" Jiang Xiaohe said and was about to go to the yamen.

The man grabbed her and said, "How dare you!"

Jiang Xiaohe shook off his hand and snorted coldly: "Do you think I dare? There are so many people here today who can testify. We have witnesses of everything you did to us, and the mess on the ground is the physical evidence!"

The man was extremely angry and cursed, "Damn it! You are looking for death!" Then he raised his hand and was about to hit her.

Jiang Xiaohe dodged his punch and said, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Are you scared?"

Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua grabbed Jiang Xiaohe. They were already scared when the man said that his brother-in-law was a yamen runner. The people should not fight against the officials!

Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, they will not be able to win.

"Xiao He, forget it!" Zeng Hua pulled her, fearing that she would be bullied: "We can just give up this food business."

When the man heard this, he chuckled and said, "You are quite sensible."

"Second Aunt! Why don't you do it? We earn money with our own hands. We don't steal or rob. We are not like some people who can't cook good food themselves but envy others!"

"You!" the man was very angry!

"Alright! If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you! Ergou, go call my brother-in-law over. Today, I'll have my brother-in-law take all of you to jail!"

After he finished speaking, the person next to him ran to call for help.

Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua were both terrified. Wang Qiuxia quickly went up to apologize, "My dear, I am an honest farmer. I only know how to make some food and make a living in the town. If you don't want us to set up the stall, then we won't. There's no need to make such a scene."

Jiang Xiaohe held her back and said, "Mom, we set up the stall according to the regular procedures. There is no need to apologize to him."

"Xiao He!" Wang Qiuxia shouted, "Have your father and I spoiled you too much?"

"mother?"

Wang Qiuxia glared at her: "Don't you dare say anything more."

Jiang Xiaohe was dissatisfied and bit her lower lip. Her eyes were red. "So we're just going to let this go? We're going to let Daniel get beaten for nothing? We're just going to let the food that Second Aunt worked so hard to prepare and the broken dishes and chopsticks go?"

Wang Qiuxia felt very distressed when she saw her appearance, but she couldn't say anything.

Zeng Hua pulled Jiang Xiaohe, knowing that she was fighting for their family, but the people should not fight against the officials! If they were put in jail, it would be difficult for them to live as human beings in the future, and there would be Daniu's marriage...

"Xiao He, listen to your mother, Second Aunt is fine! It's okay."

Zhang Daniu clenched his fists, secretly hating himself for being incompetent. Zhang Daniu supported him and cried silently.

The people in the crowd looked at them with sympathy in their eyes, especially the vegetable seller, who had some friendship with Jiang Xiaohe before. She couldn't help but come up and persuade her: "Sister, we ordinary people should not fight against officials!"

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the faces of these people and still felt unwilling.

Seeing them like this, the man suddenly became arrogant: "I tell you, pack up your things now and get out of here quickly, otherwise when my brother-in-law comes, none of you will be able to leave!"

Wang Qiuxia pulled Jiang Xiaohe, fearing that she would cause trouble again: "Okay, okay, let's pack up and leave right away."

Zeng Hua pulled Zhang Danniu to clean up quickly. Zhang Danniu clenched his fists but was powerless.

Wang Qiuxia was also helping.

Jiang Xiaohe saw her family members crying but silently cleaning up the mess on the ground. She looked up at the complacent and arrogant man, and felt angry rising in her heart. She understood the principle that a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. She only hated herself for not being able to protect her family now. However, looking at the man's arrogance, she was afraid that he had never used this to bully others before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaohe shook her head in her heart. No, no, they could not just pack up and go home in shame. If this was the result, Second Aunt and the others, including herself, might not be able to set up stalls in this town anymore, and life would be extremely difficult from then on!

Jiang Xiaohe grabbed Wang Qiuxia's hand as she was packing her things: "Mom, we can't just leave like this."
