The Bully General's Spiritual Husband
Chapter 85: Another Trick
Li Jiang, who was eating in the courtyard, looked displeased. It was really lucky that the jinx at the end of the village hadn't been burned to death!
You took away the land I had my eye on a long time ago, so it's no wonder your house burned down.
Wang Huanhua smiled too, thinking that this jinx was really lucky to have escaped a calamity.
I wish I could have been burned to death in the fire.
Even if you get lucky this time, it might not be the same next time. There are quite a few people in the village who hold a grudge against you.
Looking at the table full of vegetarian dishes, Li Xiaobao angrily shouted to Wang Huanhua, "Grandma, I want to eat meat! I heard them say that Li Mo can eat meat every day, and I want to eat meat too."
Liu Xiaolian quickly pulled her son back and glanced at her father-in-law's face.
When Li Jiang heard that his grandson wanted meat, he looked gloomy, but he didn't dare to scold his own grandson. So he shouted at Wang Huanhua sitting next to him, "How can you be such a good parent? You won't even buy Xiaobao a little meat. It's not like we can't afford meat."
Wang Huanhua dared not utter a word. She had no money on her, so how could she buy it?
Li Jiang has always managed the family's finances.
It's all Li Zhe's fault, that ungrateful wretch. He keeps to himself and eats meat, but he won't even send a little over to show his respect.
It's such a waste of time raising those two brothers; I should have just let them starve to death.
"Don't cry, little one! Grandma will make you meat tomorrow!"
Li Xiaobao then stopped crying and happily ate the food his mother fed him.
Li Xiaobao is already over six years old, but he still needs his mother to feed him.
This is the only child in the family, and the whole family cherishes him like the apple of their eye.
They spoiled Li Xiaobao so much that he became the little tyrant of the village.
Today I went to play with my friends and heard that Li Mo gets to eat meat every day, so I got upset and started crying as soon as I got back.
Li Jiang became increasingly dissatisfied. He had recently heard that Li Zhe had made a lot of money selling deer, and his mind started to wander.
After dinner, I called Wang Huanhua into the room to give her some advice.
After listening, Wang Huanhua nodded and went out the door.
Liu Xiaolian, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, looked up for a moment, then continued with her work.
I don't know where my mother went, she left with a happy expression.
Once outside, Wang Huanhua began searching for medicine throughout the village, tearfully lamenting that Li Jiang's condition had worsened and he probably didn't have much time left.
The couple once again put Li Zhe in the spotlight.
The villagers, filled with righteous indignation, followed Wang Huanhua to Li Zhe's house to reason with him.
At this moment, Li Jiang was lying happily at home, waiting for Wang Huanhua to get the "medicine money" back from Li Zhe, so that he could buy meat for Xiao Bao.
Li Zhe was chopping firewood in the yard when Yin Baicai had just put down her bowl when there was a loud banging on the gate.
“Li Zhe, come out here! Do you have any conscience? Your uncle has been bedridden for more than half a month because of your beating, and you just ignore it like this.”
"That's right, Li Zhe, you better come out right now. How dare you, a heartless person like you, live in our Peach Blossom Village? If you don't give us an explanation, you can get out of our village."
Wang Huanhua deliberately stirred up trouble; she is now slumped on the ground, wailing loudly.
"My poor husband... if you just leave like this, what will we, the whole family, do?!"
Those who witnessed it were heartbroken and those who heard it wept. The villagers who had come along all began to criticize Li Zhe.
Li Zhe put down the axe in his hand in the courtyard and said to Yin Baicai, "You eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
Yin Baicai put down her bowl. "I'll go with you. They're trying to extort money from us. I can't stand it. You can't win an argument with them."
As soon as Li Zhe opened the door, he saw the villagers glaring at him angrily.
Wang Huanhua collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting.
Yin Baicai has to admire Wang Huanhua's acting skills; she even won an Oscar for her acting.
When Li Jiang left that day, he was full of energy. How come he looks like his relationship is on its last legs now?
They're probably up to some bad idea again!
As expected, Wang Huanhua's cries continued unabated, and the kind-hearted villagers began to chime in.
“Li Zhe told me that if you beat someone up, you should hurry to town and get a doctor to treat the illness and get the medicine.”
"Yes, I haven't seen Li Jiang working in the fields for a long time. I'm afraid his illness is quite serious!"
Li Zhe coldly observed these aggressive villagers, and one could imagine how his elder brother and the others had lived in this village before.
This time, it was probably Li Jiang who instigated Wang Huanhua to stir things up!
More and more people from the village came to watch the spectacle, and eventually even the village chief was alerted.
As soon as Huang Zhong arrived, he saw the villagers gathered in front of Li Zhe's house and asked, "What are you all doing in front of Li Zhe's house? Don't you have anything to do? And did you call Wang Huanhua and the others here?"
"Village chief, you've wronged me! It was Li Zhe who beat my husband, and now his illness is getting worse. The villagers are all here to speak up for me; you have to stand up for me!"
After saying that, she cried as if she was about to stop breathing.
The village chief's dark yellow face was tense. This matter had been circulating in the village, and I didn't think the Li family boy was an unreasonable person. How could he have personally hit Li Jiang?
If this happens once or twice, there's probably something fishy going on.
I remember that in the past, Wang Huanhua would often spread rumors in the village that Li Qian had beaten Li Jiang.
The village chief had lived most of his life, and he could tell at a glance what Wang Huanhua was thinking when she caused trouble this time.
“Wang Huanhua, you said Li Jiang can’t get out of bed, then let’s take everyone to your house to see him. If it’s true, I will definitely stand up for you. If it’s false, you can consider the consequences yourselves.”
When Wang Huanhua heard that they were going to visit her at home, she was unwilling. If she really went to Lijiang and then stayed at home, wouldn't that give her away?
The person in charge just told him to incite the villagers to come to this ungrateful wretch and try to get some benefits from him.
If I really bring that person back, everything will be ruined, and I'll definitely get scolded.
“Village chief, just tell me, I raised Li Zhe and his brother from childhood. Even if I didn’t do anything special, I still put in a lot of hard work. And Li Zhe still dares to hit his own uncle. This is…”
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Huanhua covered her face and began to cry.
The village chief could clearly tell that Wang Huanhua was afraid to let everyone go to her house, so the story of Li Jiang being terminally ill was probably false.
Upon hearing this, the villagers, unaware of the situation, began to chatter amongst themselves.
Li Zhe said coldly, "Village chief, let's go see if Li Jiang's illness is really serious. If it is, I'll do whatever you say."
The village chief didn't want to listen to Wang Huanhua's tearful complaints, so he said to the villagers, "Then let's all go and see for ourselves! Whether the beating of Li Jiang is true or false, we'll find out soon enough."
“Come on, everyone, let’s go and see. If it’s true, village chief, you can’t protect Li Zhe. Daring to hit his own uncle must be dealt with according to the village rules.”
Led by the village chief, the group headed to Li Jiang's house.
Wang Huanhua realized she had messed things up, and now she was in big trouble.
She stopped crying and hurriedly ran to the village chief and called out to him, "Village chief, what's there to see? It was Li Zhe who beat the man, he has to pay for the medicine."
The village chief saw that Wang Huanhua had finally revealed her true colors, that she was after Li Zhe's money, so he decided he had to go and see for himself.
Yin Baicai also wanted to go, but Li Zhe, thinking that he hadn't eaten lunch, told him to go back and eat first, and to help him look after Li Mo.
A large group of villagers, eager to watch the spectacle, arrived at Li Jiang's house, just as the gate had been left open when Li Xiaobao went out to play.
When Wang Huanhua saw this, she thought: Oh no, even if I get the old man to pretend to be sick now, it won't work.
