Chapter 22 Yang Laoer gets angry
Without saying a word, Jiang Ning rushed forward and beat Qian again.
The villagers in Rongshu Village were also two in size. It was difficult for men to step in and take care of them, but it was hard for women to take control of them. They watched helplessly as Jiang Ning beat Mr. Qian until she couldn’t stand up.
Jiang Ning was about to continue fighting in the middle of the fight, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the patrolling cadre approaching, so he hurriedly got into the crowd and disappeared.
Before Pang and the others could react, the Yamen pushed aside the crowd and looked at Qian, who was lying on the ground crying. He frowned tightly and looked around, "Who did this?"
The people watching were stunned for a moment, and those who had been slandered by Qian immediately stood up with indignation and counted Qian's faults.
The yamen official thought someone was bullying him, but he didn't expect it was counter-bullying. He immediately looked down at Qian with a bad tone and said, "Come with us to the yamen."
Qian was lying on the ground just to blackmail Jiang Ning. When he heard what the Yamen official said, he was so frightened that he stood up straight, widened his eyes and asked, "It's obvious that I was bullied, why don't you arrest that **** Jiang?"
Ya Chai laughed angrily, "Ha! Is it reasonable for you to take the initiative to find trouble? Let's go! Come with us to the Yamen!"
Originally, the two of them were just trying to scare Mr. Qian, but now they feel that their dignity has been challenged, and they are really ready to take Mr. Qian back.
Qian was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and cried heartbrokenly.
Yang Laoer came over after hearing the news. Although he didn't understand what happened when he saw the scene in front of him, he admitted his mistake for Qian without thinking and begged for mercy again and again.
He also gave the yamen keeper five cents.
The government official spared Qian for the sake of Yang Laoer, but he had to give a few warnings before leaving.
Yang Laoer faced the teasing eyes of the villagers, his face turned red from his face to his neck, and he hurriedly left Qian, whose face was covered with tears and snot.
After Jiang Ning was far away from the place of right and wrong, he first went to the grocery store and asked the shopkeeper about lime.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately took some and gave it to her, "How many taels do you want to buy, Mrs. Jiang?"
“How many taels?” Jiang Ning was a little confused.
Seeing her like that, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked: "Do you want to spread it in the granary or use it for something else? One tael of lime costs three cents. I will sell it to you for five cents for two taels and make no money from you."
Jiang Ning thought she was hallucinating. After confirming the price of lime several times, she gave up. If she really wanted to buy this thing and go back to make adobe bricks, she might as well just order green bricks!
Since it was unrealistic to buy it, she had no choice but to think of another way.
After meeting a few children, Jiang Ning found that Yang Sizhuang was holding a candied haws in his hand. The treasure had to look like something and no one was allowed to touch it.
Jiang Ning asked funnyly: "Have you bought any buns?"
Everyone nodded, and Yang Datou said: "They are all in the basket. Sizhuang also wants to buy chicks. I don't dare to raise chicks like ours for fear of being stolen."
Jiang Ning nodded, "It's true that we can't raise them. Let's wait until next year. If we can build a house this year, we can catch a few and bring them back in the spring next year."
Yang Sizhuang immediately jumped up for joy.
As soon as the mother and son entered the village, they met many villagers. They all looked at Jiang Ning with fear and curiosity in their eyes. Even the youngest Yang Sizhuang noticed something was wrong.
“Aniang, why are they so strange?”
Jiang Ning pulled Yang Sizhuang without even looking at them, "Go home, it has nothing to do with us!" Several children had question marks on their foreheads.
Seeing Jiang Ning ignoring them, the village women were so angry that they cursed in a low voice, "Sure enough, there will be lawlessness without men! Look at Qian's face, if it weren't for Yang Laoer beside him, I would have thought there was an outsider in the village! Tsk tsk tsk tsk"
In the old house of the Yang family, Yang Laoer was at war with Old Man Yang and Mr. Li for the first time because of a woman's matter.
"Father and mother-in-law, my sister-in-law is getting more and more outrageous now! Although the family is separated, her bones and tendons are broken, and she completely disowns our relationship? How can she be so harsh on the child's mother? My hand? I didn't go to my sister-in-law to argue for my brother's sake. If you don't care, don't blame me for being rude!" Yang Laoer felt uncomfortable when he thought about the ridiculing and contemptuous looks on him today.
Isn’t it just a quarrel between women? If someone doesn't argue a little, it's wrong to take action!
Old Man Yang had a sullen expression and kept smoking his cigarette without saying a word. Mrs. Li, holding back her anger, glared at Mr. Yang, "Are you done? It's my turn to speak now! Have you asked Mrs. Qian?" What just happened at the market?"
Yang Laoer had an angry look on his face, "Do you still need to ask? I saw with my own eyes that my sister-in-law beat Mr. Qian and ran away!"
How could Jiang escape if he didn't have a guilty conscience?
Li was so angry that she threw something and raised her voice, "Second brother! I thought you were a sensible person, but now it seems that you have been blinded by Qian. You can say such things so righteously and confuse right and wrong." ! Do you still want to be shameless? You said you want to argue with your sister-in-law. We won’t stop you. I want to see how thick-skinned you can be!
Yang Laoer was stunned for a moment, and complained with shame and anger: "I know you are partial to the big house! Now that the Qian family has been beaten like this, you are still looking after the eldest sister-in-law! Okay! Since you don't want to see us, we will move out!"
Yang Laoer slammed the door angrily and left.
Ms. Li began to wipe her tears and said, "What evil have I done! Why did I marry two housewives?"
Old man Yang said: "What does this matter have to do with the old man's family?"
Li said angrily: "If the boss hadn't been so serious and ruthless, this wouldn't have happened!"
“That’s ridiculous!” Old Man Yang complained, got up and went back to his room.
The more Yang Laoer thought about leaving home, the more unhappy he became. He angrily went to the east of the village. When he climbed up the hill and saw the willow leaves in the yard, he asked, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
Liu Ye was startled, and Jiang Ning came out of the room before she could say anything, "What do you want from me?"
Yang Laoer was extremely jealous when he met his enemy. He almost lost control of his emotions and yelled at the top of his voice: "What's wrong with my mother-in-law? Do you want to do this to her? If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end!" "
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Laoer with a half-smile, "Do you really want me to give you an explanation?"
"That's right! If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't be done with you!" Yang Laoer was so determined that he risked his life!
Jiang Ning also lowered his face and ordered to Yang Erdan: "Go! Call everyone over, the village chief and his daughter-in-law Pang, as well as the villagers you met at the market today, and you guys Grandpa, grandma, uncles and aunts, don’t leave any one behind.”
The way to resolve conflicts in the village is to have people bear witness. Yang Laoer had no problem with Jiang Ning calling people, but he scorned Jiang Ning calling so many people and looked down upon her more and more.
Jiang Ning ignored him and sat in the yard helping Yang Datou make fish baskets and dustpans while waiting for someone.
Soon there was movement down the slope. Some villagers who lived nearby and were not too concerned about the excitement arrived first. The village chief and others arrived later.
