Chapter 149

Upon hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen paused, glanced at his own stomach, and then turned to look at her.

"Then you go on top."

Like other parents in the village, when their child was wronged, the other party even came and brazenly provoked them. It was truly unbearable to swallow this anger.

Her hands were itching.

"Huh, what?"

Hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen instinctively took two steps forward, but then paused upon realizing.

"Ahem, okay."

It was certainly not right for a man to lay hands on a woman, but it was possible to "tilt the scales" with underhanded means.

Immediately after, it was discovered that in the melee where the two sides were initially evenly matched, one side suddenly lost the upper hand.

"Don't know what happened," on Qian's Mother's side, people would suddenly lose strength in their arms or legs, as if struck by something, and then go limp.

In no time, they were pinned down and beaten by Wang Sister-In-Law's group.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

And the village chief and others nearby, upon seeing the small clods of dirt in Gu Jinchen's hand, broke into another fit of coughing.

Seeing this scene, the men from Qian Family Village who had secretly followed to support their women could no longer sit still.

They rushed out from their hiding places one after another.

"What are you doing! Bullying with numbers, are you not?"

As they spoke, they approached the group of fighting women, laying hands on Wang Sister-In-Law amidst the melee.

Here comes the action!

Seeing this, the men of Gu Family Village exchanged glances, rolled up their sleeves, and went to block them.

Gu Jinchen looked at Luo Ge and followed suit.

As it turned out, the two groups of men were completely unmatched, and in no time, the other side had fallen in droves.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

Qian's Mother and her cohorts had also been thoroughly defeated by Wang Sister-In-Law's group, looking as disheveled as roosters after a fight.

And on the other side, Qian Duoduo and the others, who had been pulled aside earlier, were cowering with their heads down, watching the kids from Gu Family Village leading the big yellow dog and carrying a rooster.

"You even said if we didn't give five taels, it wouldn't end!"

Hearing Wang Sister-In-Law's words, Qian's Mother was at a loss for words.

However, the people of Gu Family Village also understood that five taels of silver was an astronomical sum for an ordinary family.

Considering the actual situation, they eventually compromised and agreed on one and a half taels of silver per child as compensation.

Luo Ge had them all sign the letters of apology she had mentioned before letting them go.

Those who had silver on them were made to pay immediately, while those who didn't had to sign IOUs, to be paid later or else reported to the authorities.

Although they were villagers, the people of Gu Family Village were not unreasonable people.

Initially, they were prepared to let things slide if Qian's Mother and her group could speak reasonably.

But those people were simply too much, taking advantage of any kindness shown to them.

So there was really no need to indulge them.

Some people just won't learn unless they're taught a lesson. Once they've been taught, everything falls into place.

The others left quickly, but Qian Duoduo's family, being the ringleaders, were the last to leave.

Nowadays, there were two teachers at the village school - one was Elder Mr. Xu, and the other was a young scholar brought in by Elder Mr. Xu.

He was a very learned young man.

With the increasing number of students at the school, Elder Mr. Xu couldn't handle it alone and needed someone to share the workload.

Yesterday, Elder Mr. Xu had taken half a day off and was not at the school.

When he returned today and learned of the incident, he came to check on the children in the village and happened to witness Qian Duoduo's family causing trouble.

Seeing Qian Duoduo, Elder Mr. Xu sighed.

"From now on, you need not come to the school anymore."

With such character, it was unfit to keep him.

Upon hearing Elder Mr. Xu's words, Qian Duoduo's entire family was stunned. Finally, it was Qian's Mother who spat first.

"If he's not coming, then so be it! We don't care, you old thing! Now return my child's tuition fees!"

Originally, Qian Duoduo was upset upon hearing these words, but after listening to his mother, he also spat.

"Return the tuition fees? I don't care about coming anyway!"
