The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine
Chapter 179: Enough Trust
"You're right, the lightning was extremely fierce!"
Then another villager nearby echoed.
"In my opinion, if it's any more serious, Brother Song will probably have to become a widow."
Someone else started talking half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Oh, I remember now. Last year when I was hunting in the mountains, I saw a hare get struck by lightning. Its entire body turned completely into charcoal!"
Another person recalls similar events in the past, trying to further confirm the authenticity of the current situation through comparison.
The villagers started discussing it one after another, and it seemed that no one would express any doubt about this conclusion.
But the village chief Li Congyi expressed some doubts.
He first looked up at the sky to confirm that the weather conditions were good, then turned around and looked at the crowd of onlookers, and a series of complicated thoughts came to his mind.
"Brother Song, if this woman was injured by lightning, just take her to a safe place and let her rest. Did you call me here to ask something?"
After hearing the question, Jiang Jinhe immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to explain: "Village Chief, we didn't call you here because Li Yue encountered a natural disaster or man-made disaster."
After hearing this, Li Congyi once again cast an inquiring look at the injured girl who fell to the ground, and the feeling of distrust in his heart became stronger - since the matter was not so urgent, why did she say that the situation was serious and needed help urgently?
Faced with this situation, Song Yuyu forced a smile somewhat embarrassedly, then quickly moved away from the center of everyone's sight and found a quiet corner to hide temporarily.
As for Jiang Jinhe, not knowing the specifics of the situation, he didn't speculate and instead went straight to the point. "Respected Village Chief, the reason I've asked you all to come here for this discussion is because Miss Li Yue came over with the intent to attack my personal safety, and at that moment, I was struck by a sudden thunderstorm. According to the old rules passed down in our village, every family member must obey the head of the household absolutely. Anyone who dares to challenge or violate this rule is considered a serious act of rebellion. Am I understanding this correctly, Village Chief?"
After listening to the story, Li Congyi stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then gave a positive answer: "Yes, there is indeed such a custom."
At this moment, Jiang Jinhe had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness.
"Village Chief, I'm the head of the Song family now. How could it be wrong to ask her to get up and work? But I didn't expect her to not only scold me, but also push me to the ground. If it hadn't been for a lightning bolt that happened to strike, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured!"
The voice of the eldest daughter of the Song family was full of grievance and anger. She obviously felt that she was innocent. After all, in her opinion, asking family members to work was just fulfilling the responsibilities of the head of the family.
Many of the heads of families in the crowd were indignant after hearing this. They were shocked and angry at Li Yue's audacious behavior.
"Li Yue actually dared to go against the wishes of the head of the family. This is simply against heaven. She deserves to be punished by thunder!"
Someone said this with gritted teeth, as if one could hear the deep dissatisfaction in the tone.
His words seemed to imply that this was not the first time something like this had happened.
"Honestly, this lightning should have killed him instantly!"
Another parent made no secret of his thoughts and his attitude was very clear - no tolerance.
"How dare she challenge the authority of her family? It seems even Heaven couldn't stand it and punished her with thunder and lightning!"
After venting their anger, these parents turned around and began to warn their children: "Did you hear me? If you don't obey, you will be struck by lightning!"
These conversations filled the air, and everyone seemed to be shrouded in a suppressed mood.
The children looked at each other in fear and discussed in low voices how they should deal with it if they encountered the same thing.
The village chief, acting as mediator, agreed repeatedly and spoke earnestly, saying, "Harmony within a family can promote the harmonious development of the entire village! Every family member must love and respect each other."
After saying this, he deliberately raised his voice so that all the villagers could hear him.
Then, he looked at Jiang Jinhe again, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "People like Li Yue who violate family rules must be punished."
Although he felt a little sympathy for his daughter-in-law - after all, she was the new head of the family and inevitably lacked experience in handling certain matters - he had to bite the bullet and do it for the long-term benefit of the family.
Although this daughter-in-law was smart and decisive, she was suddenly given such great power to manage the entire family.
No wonder it arouses jealousy in others.
However, no matter what, as long as the current problems can be properly handled and future stability and development can be guaranteed, it is not impossible for Jiang Jinhe to continue to be in charge.
Ever since Jiang Jinhe became the new leader of the Song family, many good things in the village have been related to her, and he himself has also gained a lot of benefits from it.
In particular, she has been studying how to improve soybean processing technology recently, which is said to bring in a considerable income.
Thinking about the good days that might come in the future, a smile appeared on the old village chief's face.
"Mrs. San, how are you going to punish her? Are you going to give her some physical pain, or are you going to parade her through the streets as a warning to everyone?"
There was a tone of encouragement in the village chief's words, as if he was suggesting that the other party adopt more severe methods to completely eradicate this kind of insubordinate behavior.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers also echoed:
"That's right, we must use the most stringent means!"
"We haven't developed enough trust among our new neighbors since we moved in so recently. We absolutely cannot allow this kind of destructive behavior to spread and affect our daily lives."
People were talking about it and the mood was very high.
"I agree with the village chief's opinion."
Uncle Li said firmly, his tone full of unshakable determination.
"I support it too!"
Aunt Wang followed closely behind, her voice high and powerful, as if she was also fighting for her family's cause.
"Village chief, my third son always runs around everywhere, you have to teach him a lesson!"
Uncle Liu frowned and looked worried, obviously he was very worried about his naughty child.
"Yes, and my Er Gouzi too!"
Mrs. Zhang also echoed this, her face also filled with helplessness.
The tone of voice of these two villagers when they mentioned their children was full of requests for help and expectations.
Looking at such a chaotic scene, the village chief felt a headache.
