Chapter 22： Blackmail

Chapter 22 Blackmail

“My son is back, and he is back with a big wild boar!” Mrs. Jin proudly said to Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai curled her lips when she heard this, and said sourly: "They have only been up the mountain for a long time, and they can kill a big wild boar. What does this wild boar have to do with your son? Maybe it was killed by the Gu family..."

Mrs. Jin's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and she was obviously aware of this possibility.

But her son Zhang Orion, at this time, had already said loudly: "This wild boar was killed by the Gu family. Mingda said that we will share the wild boar equally with those of us who came up the mountain to look for people!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar among the villagers.

Just by going up the mountain to find someone, you can share a large wild boar that can be seen with the naked eye at least two hundred pounds. Who wouldn't want this good thing?

The villagers who had someone in their family come up the mountain were overjoyed, but the villagers who had not gone up the mountain to help search for the person were all regretful and beating their chests.

Some people even looked at Granny Cai with unkind eyes.

"It's because you said that Niu Niu was a scapegoat and stopped us from entering the mountain. We originally wanted to go up the mountain to help find people!" The villagers lost a good opportunity to share the pork. Naturally, they would not resent themselves and would just give up all the pork. Dissatisfaction is vented on others.

Zhang Guangzong's family, who had previously been jumping up and down to prevent the villagers from going up the mountain, naturally became the target of public criticism.

After scolding Mrs. Cai, they felt that it was not enough, so they chased after Zhang Guangzong and scolded her: "Thank you for being a scholar. The child you have raised for five years got lost in the mountains and you stopped him from letting others save him. You are really a black heart!"

"A rotten person like you deserves not to be admitted as a scholar!"

Hearing these cursed words, Zhang Guangzong, who always regarded himself as a scholar, naturally couldn't stand it.

When my mother was fighting with someone, Zhang Guangzong claimed to be a scholar and didn't come forward to help at all. Now that the matter involved him, he couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't care about being polite or not. He directly cursed: "It's obviously you. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now you are blaming me!”

Zhang Guangzong likes to show off as a scholar, which not only means that he doesn't like to deal with villagers, but also means that he has no experience at all when it comes to scolding.

The old ladies in the village were different. Quarrels and fights were an important part of their lives. It was easy to deal with an innocent scholar.

"If you hadn't stopped us, we would have gone into the mountains long ago. You're such a bad thing, even your relatives will be harmed!"

"Old Gu's family is really unlucky for eight lifetimes, marrying your family!"

"Ms. Yun is really a good thing. She is completely different from you and that black-hearted girl of yours!"

"Although your surname is Zhang, it doesn't matter whether you are a member of the Zhang family. I have never seen Mrs. Cai hooking up with a wild man before!"

"Yes, yes, no one in the village knows about Granny Cai and the poor man from the next village!"

When these old ladies in the village were scolding each other, they didn't have any control over their words. They just said everything with their mouths. All the bad things that Mrs. Cai had done in the past were revealed.

Zhang Guangzong had never faced such a scene before. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He was a scholar after all, and he still cherished the dream of becoming a master after being admitted as a scholar. How could he endure such sewage.

But for people who are not good at quarreling, words like "Why are you talking nonsense" and "How can you arbitrarily accuse someone of innocence" will come out of their mouths.

These pale rebuttals seemed so weak in the face of the **** scenes casually made up by the old women in the village.

As a well-known tongue-tied woman in the village, Mrs. Chen showed no inhibitions when it came to gossiping in person. She vividly described to everyone the incident between Mrs. Cai and Diarrhea: "I saw it all with my own eyes. In the woods outside the village, Mrs. Cai... And that scoundrel, the two of them were rolling on the ground naked..." When Zhang Guangzong heard this, he felt his head was buzzing, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He even forgot about the difference between men and women, and rushed to that place. Mrs. Chen went to her: "That's nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! My mother is loyal to my father, that's not what you said!"

Although Zhang Guangzong was a man, he never did farm work.

Mrs. Chen is an elderly woman, but she works in the fields almost every day. After a fight, Mrs. Chen doesn't need help from others, she can hold down Zhang Guangzong's hammer by herself.

When she was hammering people, she still used her special skills and shouted to everyone: "You have all seen it, Zhang Tongsheng is scornful of me! Fortunately, he is still a scholar, but he actually plotted against me because I am good-looking, in public." You are so cruel to me!"

Listening to this nonsense, Zhang Guangzong was going crazy.

He is only thirty years old, while Mrs. Chen is already over fifty. Due to years of working in the fields, Mrs. Chen's face is full of ravines and her hair is mostly gray. She looks older than his mother, Mrs. Cai.

Zhang Guangzong felt that no matter how hungry he was, he would never fall in love with such an old country woman!

The reason why Mrs. Chen dares to be so shameless and doesn't care about her reputation is very simple, because her whole family has this kind of virtue.

There are no scholars in her family, so her family cares more about the benefits than their good reputation.

Mrs. Chen’s husband’s surname is Liu, which is also the most common surname in Qingshui Village.

As a well-known rogue family in the village, Mrs. Chen's family rushed to help immediately after seeing Mrs. Chen and Zhang Guangzong fighting. The two tall men directly picked Zhang Guangzong up.

Of course, during this process, the Liu family often touched Zhang Guangzong, deliberately kicking or pinching him, making Zhang Guangzong unable to express his pain.

"You are so brave, you dare to belittle my mother in broad daylight! If you, the Zhang family, don't give us an explanation for today's matter, I will go to the county to make trouble in front of your classmates and argue with them Tell me what you are!" the Liu family said angrily.

When Zhang Guangzong heard this, he immediately struggled violently, but the two strong men of the Liu family were not vegetarians. They held him down tightly, unable to move at all.

"With so many pairs of eyes watching, how can you have the nerve to talk nonsense! Patriarch, the Liu family is bullying me, you have to make the decision for me!" Zhang Guangzong shouted to the head of the Zhang family.

Patriarch Zhang was not too upset at this time.

Earlier when Granny Cai had a fight, Patriarch Zhang got scratched by the old ladies. Now his face was burning with pain. Granny Cai was still being held down. Zhang Guangzong started fighting with others again. He tried to break up the fight as if he was rushing to the scene, making a fuss. Half a day's work was all in vain.

But no matter how troubled he was, for the sake of Zhang Guangzong, the only scholar in the clan, Patriarch Zhang gritted his teeth and looked at Patriarch Liu who was standing aside.

Patriarch Liu also had a headache when he saw Mrs. Chen and his family. This was a notoriously rogue family among the Liu clan, and no one in his family dared to provoke them.

Of course, Patriarch Liu knew that Mrs. Chen's family was causing trouble today, but if he dared to confront this family, he, the patriarch, would definitely be troubled by them in the future.

Patriarch Liu rolled his eyes and immediately looked like he had a headache. He covered his head and said, "I'm old and confused. I don't know what just happened. I'm very dizzy. Please help me go back and rest." "

Patriarch Zhang was so angry that he deliberately organized the Zhang people in the village to unite to fight against Mrs. Chen and her family.

However, Zhang Guangzong didn't have a good reputation in his family. His eyes were always higher than his head, and he barely showed his nose to others. People surnamed Zhang didn't like him very much, so even if the clan leader called for him, it would be of no use.

Before Patriarch Zhang could come up with a countermeasure, the Liu family had already begun to make demands: "Today, Zhang Guangzong is frivolous with my mother. If we don't have thirty taels of silver, we will never end it with him!"
