The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Peach Blossom Village

It took Yin Baicai more than two hours to fill her large water vat after carrying the last load of water.

Exhausted and with a sore back, Yin Baicai plopped down on a stool.

As he was carrying the last load of water, he noticed that Li Zhe had not yet returned.

After resting for a while, I thought I'd go to Li Zhe's house to cook dinner for Li Mo.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Huanhua, along with Liu Xiaolian and a woman from the village, walked in aggressively.

The three of them stopped at the door. Wang Huanhua looked at Yin Baicai, who opened the door, and said, "What are you doing here, you rascal? Where is that ingrate Li Zhe? Call him out."

Looking at the three men who seemed to have ill intentions, Yin Baicai thought to herself: "Is Wang Huanhua here to beg for alms after hearing that the bully Li has hunted a deer?"

Sure enough, Wang Huanhua immediately asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? Where's Li Zhe? Call him out. I heard he hunted a deer. If he sells it, he'll have to pay for his uncle's medicine!"

As she continued, Wang Huanhua burst into tears, crying out, "Heavens above! Tell me, this nephew beat his uncle, and he won't even pay for the medicine. He's utterly heartless!"

Qian Cao'er chimed in, "That's right, it's outrageous! He beat his own uncle to a pulp and then ignored him. Now that he has money, he doesn't even think about paying for his medicine. Li Zhe is such an ingrate! Huan Hua, you two shouldn't have adopted those two brothers in the first place."

Liu Xiaolian kept comforting Wang Huanhua from the side.

Hearing the commotion, the villagers all rushed over to see what was going on.

"What's going on? Why is Wang Huanhua causing trouble at Li the bully's doorstep again?"

"You don't know this? It must be Wang Huanhua who heard that Li Zhe hunted a deer and wants to ask for some money."

That person was right. In the morning, Qian saw Li Zhe kill a deer, and in the afternoon, as soon as she returned from town, she went to Wang Huanhua to stir up trouble.

She also said that she saw Li Zhe sell it for several dozen taels of silver, and on a whim, Wang Huanhua, behind Li Jiang's back, brought Liu Xiaolian to cause trouble at his door.

That's when the scene just now happened.

Wang Huanhua made a lot of noise but didn't shed a single tear; she was so busy sitting on the ground howling that she didn't even cry.

Yin Baicai crossed her arms and watched Wang Huanhua's performance.

"Oh God, my poor husband is still lying in bed unable to move. My life is so hard, raising such an ungrateful child!"

The villagers who were watching the commotion joined in the jeering: "That bully Li really has no filial piety; he doesn't even care about his own uncle."

"You all say Wang Huanhua has been wailing for ages, why hasn't Li Zhe come out yet!"

"Who knows?"

Yin Baicai had just unlocked the door. He knew that Li the bully hadn't returned yet. If he had, the door would have been closed from the inside.

Li Mo opened the door and poked his head out. He heard his second grandmother crying at the door.

Everyone hurriedly looked up, thinking that Li Zhe had come out, but it turned out to be Li Mo.

Wang Huanhua glared at him: "You little brat, hurry up and call Li Zhe out."

Li Mo shrank back in fear, and Yin Baicai saw Wang Huanhua glaring at Li Mo.

He walked over and hugged Li Mo, saying, "Li Xiaomo, what are you afraid of? It's just a mad dog that glares at people, we're not afraid!"

Wang Huanhua nimbly got up from the ground, "Who are you calling a mad dog, you 'Ker-man-spirit'?"

"Oh, did I insult you? I didn't name names, why are you so upset! Do you think I was talking about you?"

Wang Huanhua was so angry that she tried to push Yin Baicai aside. "Get out of my way! I'm going in to find that ingrate Li Zhe. You bastard, don't block my way."

Yin Baicai, holding Li Mo, quickly dodged when Wang Huanhua reached out to push her away.

This infuriated Wang Huanhua. This jinx dared to hide; his audacity was growing.

Just as Wang Huanhua was about to push open the gate to Li Zhe's house, Li Hui, the village chief's wife who lived next door, came over.

"Wang Huanhua, what are you making a scene about? It's almost dark, and all I can hear is you shouting and yelling in the village."

Li Hui looked around at the people gathered around her again: "And what are you all doing here? Why aren't you home cooking? You all have to come out and watch the commotion at the slightest sound."

When the village chief's wife came out to speak, everyone naturally dared not watch the commotion any longer and reluctantly returned to their own homes.

The village chief's wife is a formidable woman in the village. It is said that when she was young, many people in the village could not out-argue her, and she was very sharp-tongued.

Even though she's getting old, she shouldn't be underestimated. She's the village chief's wife, and she's already spoken up. If you still refuse to leave, and the village deliberately excludes you from any benefits in the future, you'll have nowhere to complain.

Wang Huanhua and the other two felt a little scared after everyone in the village left. They had only made a fuss to get some money from Li Zhe, and besides, they didn't believe Li Zhe would dare to hit them in front of the villagers.

Li Hui glanced at Wang Huanhua and the other two still standing at the door of Li Zhe's house, and gave them a cold look. She hated troublemaking women like this the most.

They cause trouble in the village all the time, making the village no longer peaceful.

"Wang Huanhua, why aren't you leaving? What are you still doing standing here?"

Wang Huanhua pretended to cry and said, "Sister Li, you don't know that my husband is still in bed! Li Zhe hit someone, don't think you can just let it go like this."

Yin Baicai was so angry at Wang Huanhua's performance that she almost laughed. Li Jiang looked full of energy when he left, and he was lying in bed. He was just lying through his teeth.

Li Hui had naturally heard about Li Zhe hitting Li Jiang, and she was extremely annoyed by Li Jiang's family.

When Li Qian was alive, they would come to Li Qian's house to cause trouble every few days. Now that Li Qian is gone, they've started causing trouble for Li Zhe.

All that's said is that he just wants to steal money from other people's pockets.

The whole family is envious of others; they don't work hard to earn money themselves, and they're always eyeing what others have in their pockets.

Li Hui: "I heard that you broke into Cai Ge'er's house and even kicked down his gate. Li Jiang looks so energetic, I'm afraid he's alright."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huanhua's expression changed, and she shouted, "Who said that? It was Li Zhe who hit someone. I don't care, Li Zhe has to pay compensation."

Seeing that Wang Huanhua's true colors had finally been revealed, Li Hui looked at her with a forced smile, knowing that she was still after Li Zhe's money.

Wang Huanhua's friend, Ms. Qian, chimed in, "If someone was assaulted, it wouldn't be right not to pay for their medical expenses."

Li Hui: "Really? Li Jiang is bedridden and can't get up. Why didn't you ask the village chief to help you back then? Now you're making trouble again. This is probably fake. You're just trying to extort money from him."

Wang Huanhua felt a chill run down her spine, then retorted, "At the time, I thought Li Zhe was a junior, and my husband said we shouldn't make a fuss about it. Who would have thought he wouldn't be able to get up the next day?"

Li Huicai didn't believe Wang Huanhua's nonsense. If Li Zhe had really beaten Li Jiang so badly that he couldn't get out of bed, Wang Huanhua would have already caused a huge uproar. How could she just be spreading rumors in the village?

This is exactly the same thing that happened when Li Zhe first came back; what an ugly face.

"Alright, let's go to your house now and see if Li Jiang really can't get out of bed. If he really can't, I'll ask the village chief to help your family."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huanhua and Liu Xiaolian's expressions both changed. They dared not let Li Hui go to their house, otherwise they would be exposed.

Qian Shi was unaware that Li Jiang's story was false, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see what Li Zhe has to say then."

When she visited last time, Li Jiang was lying in bed pretending to be sick, so she naturally assumed it was true.

Yin Baicai held Li Mo and watched the show from the side. He was sure that Wang Huanhua would not dare to let the village chief's wife go.

"It's getting late, I need to go back and serve my husband. Xiaolian, let's go." Wang Huanhua pulled Liu Xiaolian away.

The Qian family followed closely behind.

Qian asked, "Huanhua, why don't you take the village chief and the others to see for themselves? That bully Li will definitely have to pay compensation then."

Wang Huanhua naturally wouldn't dare, and she easily brushed off Qian Shi with a few words.

After everyone left, Yin Baicai said, "Grandma Li, I'm so grateful to you for helping me."

"It's nothing, I just can't stand Wang Huanhua causing trouble all the time. You should take the child inside."

Afterwards, Li Hui went home and told the village chief what had just happened. The village chief, being a shrewd old man, couldn't see through it.

He simply said, "That old bastard Li Jiang is getting better and better at putting on an act. After bullying Li Qian, now he's bullying Li Zhe."
