The village chief glared at the man: "What if they hadn't taken you in? Can't they even have a guest?"
"Who knows what kind of customer they are? Even customers from brothels are customers."
"Alright, everyone disperse. I need to think about this carefully."
After driving the villagers away, his wife, Feng, pouted and gave him a sideways glance.
"You don't still want to go back, do you?"
"How could that be? Last time, the two of them conspired to frame me."
"Hmph, Granny Wang is eating well now, she has meat every day, and she looks younger. Didn't you have feelings for her when you first met her?"
The village chief angrily pointed at her and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
“I’ve heard it from my clansmen.”
"Who? Tell me, who is it? I'll beat him to death!"
"I would never betray my own people."
The village chief put his pipe on the table and said angrily, "Go and ask about the Wang family's matter. You're the village chief's wife; it's not illegal for you to ask!"
"Why don't you go?"
"Didn't you say I was thinking about her? Really, at my age, what's there to be thinking about? Go on, hurry up."
Feng snorted and wiggled her hips as she arrived at Wang Pozi's door.
Seeing that there was another show to watch, the villagers quietly gathered around.
This time, Xiao Nan opened the door. Seeing that it wasn't the man she was looking for, Madam Feng peered inside.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Nan asked with a gloomy face.
“My husband asked me to come and ask. There’s a strange man in your house. I heard he’s been staying there for quite a while. There are regulations that require reporting when a stranger comes to the village.”
"Oh, that's it."
She waved to Meng Fei, who was working, and he came over with his tools. Feng's eyes lit up; what a handsome and tall man!
The villagers who gathered around were stunned; they couldn't find such a handsome and tall man in the surrounding area.
Meng Fei had a bad impression of the villagers, and asked with a stern face, "What do you want with me?"
Coming to her senses, Madam Feng asked, "Who are you? Where do you live? What is your relationship with her?"
“A hunter from the southwestern mountains was swept here by a flash flood and was rescued by Miss Xiao. I am now her husband, and we are registered with the government.”
Mrs. Feng screamed, "What? You're her man?"
"Correct."
"How come I've never seen you before?"
“My wife said that the people in your village are difficult to deal with, and she won’t let me come out.”
Feng's face darkened. Having asked all the questions she needed to, she felt she had nothing more to say, so she turned and left angrily, glancing back halfway down the street.
The villagers all swallowed hard. You might as well just say we're bullying your family, instead of being so difficult to deal with. Bah!
Seeing Xiao Nan's murderous gaze, they all retreated and turned to flee in fear.
Xiao Nan is willing to fight to the death, but they have elderly parents and young children to support, so they dare not fight her. It's truly blind that someone would want this crazy woman.
They were so focused on looking at Meng Fei that they didn't have time to take a closer look at Xiao Nan.
Today, she looks radiant and beautiful, a true young lady.
Even Wang Feng, who was there that morning, was stunned when he saw her.
The women's clothing and the men's clothing are really very different.
Back home, Ms. Feng had a long talk with the village chief.
"Old man, that man is that slut's husband. They say he's already registered in her household. You don't know, he's really handsome. He's blind to be with her, tsk tsk..."
"husband?"
"Yeah, I don't know how many men that shameless woman slept with to get her household registration. Bah! Lowlife, all she knows is how to use her body to get it. I bet that's how Wang Po got her house and stuff. Otherwise, with Wang Po's resources, it would be impossible."
The village chief lowered his head, smoking his pipe, deep in thought. He dared not provoke that woman now.
But he had seen the household registration process before. If that girl could get her own household registration, she could naturally get that man's as well.
Luckily, I sent my wife instead; otherwise, I would have had to slink back home in disgrace.
Who exactly registered her household? Could it really be, as she claims, the old lady Qiao whom she saved?
If that's true, then wouldn't Old Madam Qiao become her backer?
If it's not true, then did she really go and sell herself?
However, as the village chief, he had the right to punish the two of them, since that vile woman and Granny Wang were in cahoots and disobeyed the village rules.
The village chief rolled his eyes. Since they were so disobedient, he decided not to let them use the village well. After all, it was a well that the villagers had dug together with their own money and effort, and he couldn't let the two of them benefit from it.
He immediately instructed Feng to relay his orders.
The villagers cheered. They had long disliked Granny Wang and her group, and now that they were out of water, it was a way of driving them out of the village.
Some people guarded the well and would stop anyone who came to Wang Pozi's house!
However, no one came out of Wang Po's house when it got dark, and the villagers couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Upon hearing this, the village chief was unwilling to give up and sent people to keep watch that night.
Xiao Nan's family was unaware that they had just finished dinner and were strolling in the yard when a soft knock came at the gate.
"Wang Pozi, open the door. I am Jiang Shi."
The three of them looked at the courtyard gate at the same time. The old woman jogged forward and gently opened the gate.
A figure flashed in: "Wang Po, what did your family do to offend the village chief?"
The old woman was taken aback: "What brings you here?"
“I went on a long trip with my husband a while ago and just got back. As soon as I got home, I heard that the village chief wouldn’t let us use well water anymore.”
"Oh? We didn't know that."
At this moment, Xiao Nan and Meng Fei had already approached, and Jiang looked at the two of them in astonishment.
"they are?"
The old woman turned around and introduced, "This is, this is the girl from the Zhang family."
"Huh?" Jiang looked Xiao Nan up and down, her face showing disbelief. "How come you're different?"
"You just got back, so you naturally don't know what happened..."
"I see. It's good that you're leaving the Zhang family. It'll be good to keep you company. And this man?"
"This is her husband who moved in with her family. This is Aunt Jiang from the Jiang family, whom you mentioned earlier, who came from the south."
"Hello, Aunt Jiang," the two stood side by side and called out at the same time.
Jiang smiled and nodded at them, "Good, good, girl, now that you have a husband, you must live a good life from now on."
"Yes, it's necessary."
Then she remembered her purpose: "The village chief won't let your family draw water from the well anymore. You guys need to think of a way. That old man is getting more and more outrageous as he gets older. He's corrupting everyone in the village. When I came here, there were still people guarding the well."
"It's alright, I'll go to town tomorrow and find someone to dig a well in the backyard," Meng Fei said.
"Yes, yes, we just dug our own well for convenience. That's all, I just wanted to let you know so you can be prepared."
"Thank you!"
Jiang smiled at Wang Po and said, "In this village, you're the only good one. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with you. I'm leaving now."
"Yeah, come again anytime."
"well!"
As Jiang walked out the door, she looked around and walked very quietly.
She also needs to make a living, so naturally she can't go against the villagers. It's good that she came over to give them a heads-up.
The three sat in the courtyard, and Granny Wang sighed heavily.
"That bastard, ugh!"
Meng Fei grinned: "Grandma, don't be angry. That's all they've got. Once we've dug the well, let's see what they can do to our family then."
"It will take several days to dig a well. How will we get water? What if they won't even let us cross the village road in the future?"
"Then let's report it to the authorities. It doesn't matter if the officials are good or bad, as long as we have money, that's all that matters. I hunt in the mountains and I have some money on hand. We're willing to risk our money. Do the village chief and the others dare to do the same?"
Xiao Nan nodded: "Yes, Grandma, don't worry. If they don't let us fetch water, we won't go. We have the money to dig our own well. If it gets to the point where we can't even walk on the village roads, why bother with a lawsuit? With that money, we can just pay to replace the village chief."
Meng Fei slapped his forehead: "That's right, just replace the village chief. If he's not the village chief, will he still dare to be so arrogant?"
"But, if an outsider becomes the village chief, won't they bully him?"
"He's just a small fry; how could he possibly fight against the powerful government?"
"Well, that's all we can do for now."
Before dawn, Meng Fei stood outside Xiao Nan's door and said softly.
"Nan'er, I'll go find some friends to dig a well. I'll get a lot of people and try to get water within three days."
"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."
"Ok"
