Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

"Oh my! There is no law and no justice! Village chief, you have to stand up for us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Look at what that evil widow Wang has done to us! If you don't stand up for us, I will go to the government and sue her for beating neighbors without reason!" Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law sat on the ground in a mess, rolling around and wailing at the village chief who was coming over.

"Shut up! Stop howling! Day after day, you're like a rat shit, ruining the morale of our village. You never stop. Are you too full and have nothing to do? The grass in the village fields is growing well. If you have nothing to do, go and work in the fields. The good image of our village has been destroyed by you. Let's see which girl will be willing to marry into your family! Tell me! Widow Wang, why did you beat the Li family?" The village chief looked at them with a headache. Every time, it was these few people who caused chaos in the village.

"They deserve to be beaten!" Widow Wang put her hands on her hips and glared at the two people on the ground, without any fear.

"Village chief, listen to what she said. She treated us like this even after I beat her. I don't care. You have to compensate us with money! You have to compensate us for our medical expenses! Otherwise, let's go into the city and see if the government will do anything!" Mrs. Li thought to herself that she couldn't take the beating in vain. She had to make Widow Wang pay for it. If the village chief didn't care, they would go to the government to make trouble and see if she dared to be so arrogant again.

"Go to the government office? Just go! I'd love to do that. It's perfect for you to have a good talk with the county magistrate about the dirty things your family has done. You want me to pay you with money? You're dreaming!" Widow Wang stood there calmly.

"You hit someone and want to just walk away. That's impossible. If you don't give an explanation today, your family will have a hard time. It's a fight to the death!" Mrs. Li was determined to get out of this. Her son was already married, and this widow still had sons and daughters who were not married yet, and she had no man. She would let her son find someone to make trouble and see what she, a woman, could do!

"Shut up! Widow Wang, it's wrong for you to hit people. Look at what you have done to the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. We are from the same village. Is there anything that can't you just endure? Just give them an apology and we'll let it go!" The village chief only heard that they had a fight and didn't know what happened.

"I won't! They are talking about the Lu family in broad daylight, slandering Yao Qingnian for finding a stranger. I couldn't stand it and interrupted her. The Li family is even better. They even dared to bring up my dead man. Beating her is the least of my punishment. I can't apologize to them!"

Everyone in the village knows that Widow Wang’s man is her bottom line. Isn’t it asking for a beating if Li’s daughter-in-law provokes her with these words?

"Is this true?" Upon hearing this, the village chief could not help but glare at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family.

"We just heard what Lin Meili said and agreed with a few words. What does it have to do with Widow Wang? Besides, we are telling the truth. Someone saw Yao Qingnian with a pretty boy in the county. If she didn't run away with a strange man, why didn't she come back for so long? Who would believe it?" The Li family member didn't learn his lesson after being beaten and continued to talk.

"You will go to jail if you slander others without any evidence! I think the beating you received was not in vain."

"Village chief! You just favor that bitch Yao Qingnian. Everyone knows that you and your wife have received so many benefits from the Lu family, so naturally you have to speak for her." Old Lady Li said unconvinced.

"Oh! What you said is right. I did accept benefits from the Lu family, and who in the village dares to say that they didn't receive benefits from the Lu family? If it weren't for their family, how could our village live such a life? During the snow disaster, when refugees entered the village, and when the plague broke out, you and I would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago! And how can we still stand here and talk properly! I don't ask you to remember their kindness, but at least don't slander them!" The village chief said angrily.

After hearing what the village chief said, some of the onlookers thought it made sense. Not to mention anything else, just take the snow disaster as an example. If the Lu family had not brought sweet potatoes and driven away the refugees, they would have starved to death even if they had not frozen to death.

"Village chief! Why are you talking about such irrelevant things! Now we are talking about the Widow Wang beating us. Look at what she did to us, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law!" Old Lady Li didn't care about these things. It would be better if Yao Qingnian ran away with someone, and it would be better if she never came back.

"You deserve it! Old Lady Li and Widow Wang, you guys have been fighting and causing trouble in the village today. What are you doing all day? Go get some work in the fields and weed all the crops in the village. Old Lady Li will be in charge of the field in the east, and Widow Wang will be in charge of the field at the entrance of the village. If anyone slacks off, pack up and get out of the village!"

"Village chief! We don't accept it! I'm going to report to the police! Let Widow Wang pay for our medical expenses!" Li's family was beaten and still had to help the village with work, which she disagreed with.

"You go, that's perfect. I'll come with you and have a good talk with the county magistrate. Your family has stolen things from villagers, and there must be at least 10 or 20 of them! According to the law, a sentence of seven or eight years is a small matter. Add to that, you spread rumors and slandered others, which will cost you at least one or two years. Add it all together and you'll be sentenced to more than ten years."

"That happened so long ago, and we all paid compensation for the money and the chickens. Why are you bringing it up again, Village Chief?" Old Lady Li was so mad that she was about to die. Why did the Village Chief bring up this matter again?

"Long? Not long! Don't you want to report to the police? It's still early. Come on, take them with you. Let's go together." The village chief asked someone to go forward and grab Old Lady Li.

"No! We won't go, Village Chief!" Although Old Lady Li was very unconvinced, if she was really arrested and sent to jail for more than ten years, wouldn't her life be over? No, no, she couldn't go.

"not going?"

"not going!"

"Then go to work!"

"Yes! Let's go now!" Old Lady Li grabbed her daughter-in-law and stood up. She glared at Widow Wang fiercely, then walked away swearing, cursing her daughter-in-law as she walked: "Am I too good to you, so that you come out to gossip and get bullied, you idiot! Not only did you embarrass me and get beaten up, but you also have to work for the village for free. You can't even finish the housework. You troublemaker, you are not allowed to eat today, go to work! If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to a grandson for our Li family, I would have asked my son to divorce you!"

"Yes, village chief!" Widow Wang also responded and went to work. There were not many fields at the entrance of the village, and the weeds had just been removed a few days ago. However, the land on the east side of the village was large and abundant, and no one had been sent to work there yet. If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were asked to go, they would suffer. The village chief was favoring her and letting her go through the motions, so Widow Wang nodded obediently with secret joy and went to work in a good mood.
