Chapter 7: Why don’t you apologize to my big girl?
She kicked Xu Changsheng, "You just watch them tell lies and accuse us?"
Xu Changsheng actually preferred the villagers' views. He didn't think his mother had the ability to save people. But while the wild boar was tempting, his son's future was also more important. Naturally, he couldn't let the villagers sue.
But before Xu Changsheng could speak, Liu Shitou shouted at Mr. Kong: "Don't talk nonsense, don't let me, Liu Shitou, become a person who repays kindness with revenge! Uncles and brothers, listen to me, what happened today was really saved by the Xu family's aunt
If it weren’t for her, I would be lying here as you see me now!”
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Liu Shitou in disbelief.
Liu Shitou sighed, "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. We all know that Aunt Xu's father is also a good mountain expert, and Auntie learned some skills from her. Today is thanks to her. Wife, you wrongly blamed Auntie,
Quickly apologize."
After saying that, Liu Shitou pulled Kong to his knees in pain and kowtowed to Zhang Xiaoying, "Aunt, I, Liu Shitou, will never forget your life-saving grace. My wife was so anxious that she said the wrong thing and blamed you wrongly. Please help me."
Do not be angry."
Zhang Xiaoying frowned and said, "Second brother, don't let him kneel down. You managed to save your life. Don't die in the Xu family's ancestral grave again later. I don't want to see your damn father again!"
When Xu Changsheng and everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhang Xiaoying.
Kong was shocked.
"Master, you, are you telling the truth?"
"Why should I talk nonsense about such a thing?"
Kong was shocked, but she dared to take the responsibility and immediately apologized to Zhang Xiaoying: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't understand the matter clearly so I talked nonsense. You can hit or scold me if you want. I have no complaints."
Liu Shitou had a good reputation in the village, so when they heard that something had happened to him, many villagers dropped what they were doing and went up the mountain. When they heard Liu Shitou's explanation, they knew that they had wrongly blamed Zhang Xiaoying this time.
Even if they didn't believe that Zhang Xiaoying would do such a thing, the facts were in front of them. They did not argue for what they said and all apologized to Zhang Xiaoying.
Zhang Xiaoying pretended to be impatient: "Okay, carry the person back quickly. If the delay continues, if the person dies, don't blame me again and accuse me of killing him!"
Mrs. Kong thanked him again, then helped Liu Shitou onto the shelf and carried him back together with the villagers.
Before leaving, everyone looked at the wild boar. Liu Shitou said, "Let's go. I'll thank you all properly later."
Everyone said nothing more and went back to the village.
On the way back, Mrs. Lin was criticized by the villagers all the way. She was full of anger. When she saw that the chicken that was used to burn paper for her ancestors was eaten, it only added fuel to the anger.
"Mom, are you okay?" Xu Qinglin murmured. He was obviously still young, but his hunched back seemed like he would never be able to straighten up. "I'll carry you down the mountain."
"No, you two brothers, carry the wild boar back. My brother, I have wronged you today." Zhang Xiaoying pushed Xu Qinglin away and looked at Lin, "It's getting late. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it when we get back."
What can Mrs. Lin do if she is dissatisfied? Zhang Xiaoying is her mother-in-law!
She had a long face, didn't say a word, picked up the basket and left angrily.
When Xu Changsheng looked at such a big wild boar, he subconsciously felt tired and said, "Mom, brother is very strong. He can carry the wild boar back alone. Let me help you!"
Zhang Xiaoying resisted the urge to slap the big boy away.
"I have good hands and feet, so I don't need you. How do you ask your eldest brother to carry a wild boar of more than 300 kilograms alone? I think we should divide you up and let your eldest brother carry it back!" Zhang Xiaoying stared at him pitifully and raised her eyebrows.
He raised the hatchet in his hand and said, "Your grandfather taught me how to cut open animals."
Just as a gust of wind blew by, Xu Changsheng was so frightened by Zhang Xiaoying that his hair stood on end, "I will carry it with my eldest brother!"
Zhang Xiaoying narrowed her eyes, "Why don't you start working quickly? What are you doing in a daze?"
Xu Changsheng held back his anger and helped Xu Qinglin tie up the wild boar, and together they carried the wild boar down the mountain.
The big girl didn't dare to speak from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Xiaoying didn't say anything anymore, and was observing the environment and vegetation of the back mountain all the way.
As the saying goes, the Xu family cannot stay poor forever!
But there was no rush now, Zhang Xiaoying slowly made a plan in her mind.
Back in the village, the news that Zhang Xiaoying killed the wild boar and saved Liu Shitou had already spread, and the villagers came to watch the Xu family's wild boar.
Most people don't believe that Zhang Xiaoying really saved people. They all prefer that Zhang Xiaoying bullied Liu Shitou into being honest and forced Liu Shitou to say this.
In fact, it's not surprising that they thought this way. The original owner often took advantage of the situation in the village.
"Poor Shitou, I managed to catch a wild boar, and I thought I could exchange it for some money, but I didn't expect that I met Zhang, an old pious woman, and lost the wild boar in vain. I almost lost my life."
"Please keep your voice down. I heard that Mrs. Zhang has seen a ghost. She is very evil. She will keep an eye on you carefully and make you shed a layer of your skin. Anyway, stay away from the Xu family from now on."
"You are shameless. You dare to kill even people for wild boars. Why don't the Liu family report it to the officials? At least let the village chief come forward. It would be best to drive this old woman out of our village."
…
Those who say these things usually do not deal with the original owner.
To say that the original owner is a shrew, these people are no less willing to give in. They band together to target the original owner.
When the original owner's husband just died, they were still spreading rumors in the village that the original owner had hooked up with a wild man and murdered her husband. No matter how ugly they said it, the original owner was so tough that he came right to the door and the rumors disappeared.
"From the Zhao family, I heard that you are planning to let a eldest girl come in and be Genzi's wife? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The old man has a vicious mind, and the younger one is no different. I'm afraid he would seduce your family's root at such a young age...
" Before Xu could finish her words, she was silenced by a slap in the face.
Zhang Xiaoying caught a glimpse of the embarrassed and aggrieved look on the big girl's face from the corner of her eye, and slapped Xu again.
The eldest girl is still young, but she grew up in such an environment and has developed a precocious and low self-esteem character.
Zhang Xiaoying couldn't help but that Mrs. Xu was full of malice towards a little girl, and her cold gaze fell on Mrs. Xu's face as if it had substance, "If you go to the latrine and don't rinse your mouth, just stay away and don't spit shit all over your mouth. I'm not enough to spread rumors.
Even my eldest daughter is spared, am I digging your ancestral grave?"
Xu covered her face, stared at Zhang Xiaoying and gritted her teeth: "Old man, I'll fight you!"
She rushed over and beat Zhang Xiaoying.
However, the next moment, Mrs. Xu stood there in cold sweat, looking down tremblingly, and saw a hatchet on her neck.
"Kill, kill..." Mrs. Xu screamed in fright, "Help!"
Zhang Xiaoying's hatchet touched forward, and Xu's legs became weak and she almost sat down.
There was silence all around, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoying with wide eyes.
Zhang Xiaoying looked at Mrs. Xu and said word by word: "I'll apologize to my eldest girl!"
