"Mom, it seems like there was a fight. What happened?"
"Quick, go find a stick."
"Hey, I'll go right away, be careful, mom."
Li Le rushed out and ran to the kitchen. Li's mother hurried to the bridal chamber, which was full of people inside and outside. She hurriedly called out Li Huan's name.
When everyone saw that it was Li's mother coming, they made way for her. Li's mother rushed in and saw Cheng Qiao hugging Zhang Yuefang and comforting her, while Qian Longkun and Zhao Xiaobao were punching and kicking a man.
"Li Huan, what's going on?"
Li Huan did not answer. Cheng Qiao saw that it was her mother-in-law who came, and hurriedly asked her to sit on the kang, but she still held Zhang Yuefang tightly and did not let go.
"Cheng Qiao, what's going on? Why did they start fighting?"
"Mom, this Chen Dalang is so mean, he... he wants to tease Sister Yuefang."
"Chen Dalang dares to tease a woman. How can he be so bold?"
Mother Li was shocked. No wonder her daughter-in-law hugged Zhang Zhiqing so tightly. Zhang Zhiqing was really pitiful. He made a fuss in the bridal chamber and ended up getting himself imprisoned.
"Why don't we report it to the police? It's too dangerous to keep such people in the village."
Zhao Xiaobao spoke, but Han Xuemei and others hesitated and refused to nod. If this matter was reported to the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Yuefang's life would be ruined.
"Let's call the police. Chen Dalang was an attempted hooligan. Zhao Xiaobao got in the way. Sister Yuefang was not touched by this beast."
Xiaoping stood up and spoke loudly. She was standing on a stool with a rope in her hand. A red apple was tied to one end of the rope. This was an indispensable prop for the bridal chamber.
When she saw Cheng Qiao and Li Huan biting into the apple at the same time, she quickly pulled her hand upwards, and the mouths of the newlyweds touched each other, and everyone laughed.
Just at this moment, Chen Dalang came in and looked at Xiaoping. Xiaoping felt sick when she saw the obscene eyes. When Cheng Qiao and Li Huan were about to take a bite of the apple again, she passed the show.
As soon as Chen Dalang came in, he squeezed towards Xiaoqin. Xiaoping saw that Xiaoqin had not noticed the danger, so she jumped off the stool anxiously and was about to pull Xiaoqin away.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dalang's target was not them at all, but Zhang Yuefang. He squeezed over and hugged Zhang Yuefang's waist with a pair of unclean hands.
At the critical moment, Zhao Xiaobao was pushed by someone and was suddenly stuck between Zhang Yuefang and Chen Dalang. Seeing that he had failed, Chen Dalang wanted to leave, but was punched hard by Zhao Xiaobao.
When Qian Longkun saw Zhao Xiaobao taking action, he went up to help without asking the reason. Chen Dalang was a coward to begin with, and when he saw two male educated youths beating him up, he could only lie on the ground and shout for help.
"Then report to the police. I'll go."
Jiang Guangrong turned around and walked out. As the leader of the educated youth site, of course he had to take the lead. However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Chen Dalang's parents who arrived in time.
"Jiang Zhiqing, you must not report to the police. Someone asked my Dalang to come here. She said that Zhang Zhiqing is rich. If Dalang hugs Zhang Zhiqing like a second-rate guy, Zhang Zhiqing will marry here with money."
"Who is it?"
"It's Xu Laidi"
When Zhang Yuefang heard that it was Xu Laidi, anger flashed in her eyes. He almost harmed Cheng Qiao at the beginning, and now he was trying to harm her again. This Xu Laidi was really too much.
"Mrs. Dalang, what benefits did Xu Laidi give you to let you ruin my wedding?"
Cheng Qiao also walked out and asked sternly at Dalang's mother.
"What benefit? There is nothing. By the way, she said that Zhang Zhiqing has more money than you do. Not to mention a bicycle, she can even buy a sewing machine. That's why we..."
"Someone go call the village chief over here. We, the female educated youth, are now demanding to report to the police and leave Xiangyang Village. Otherwise, we will be eaten alive by the people of Xiangyang Village."
Zhang Yuefang almost fainted after hearing this. It was already good enough for her to have a few money in her pocket and to have enough food and clothes to eat. Why did she want a sewing machine and a bicycle? What was she thinking
This won't do, but what else can I do? I suddenly remembered what Cheng Qiao said when he threatened the village chief, and I thought it would be a good idea to put it into practice.
Chen Weidang had already received the news and rushed over. Seeing that his clothes buttons were buttoned incorrectly and his face was ashen, he knew that the village chief was really angry this time.
Sure enough, when the village chief saw Chen Shuigen, he went up and punched him hard. He said, "As a grown man, he can't control his wife or his son, so why is he still wasting rice and flour?"
"Village chief, why are you hitting me? I'm not the one who made the mistake."
When Chen Shuigen saw the village chief coming, his legs went weak. Now he was knocked to the ground by his punch and started crying in grievance. His miserable appearance made the frightened Dalang feel ashamed.
"Chen Shuigen, is everything your wife said true?"
"Really, really, I heard it clearly from the side."
Chen Shuigen nodded rapidly.
"You were just listening and didn't stop me, you wimp. The two things you gave birth to are better off being fed to dogs. Get up and take me to find Xu Laidi."
Chen Weidang walked over and kicked Chen Shuigen twice hard on the butt. Chen Shuigen grimaced in pain but dared not make a sound.
He glared at his wife fiercely. Everyone said that this method was not good, but she refused to listen. Now she is in trouble. If Xu Laidie does not admit it, Dalang will be finished.
No, he had to make Xu Laidie admit it no matter what, otherwise he would secretly kidnap Xu Laidie and take him home. No matter what, he had to bring one back.
Chen Shuigen got up tremblingly, and ran towards the educated youth center with a hunched back. The courtyard door of the educated youth center was not locked, so everyone pushed the door open and went in, but both dormitories were dark.
"Xu Laidi, come out here."
Dalang's mother stood in the yard and shouted angrily, but after shouting two or three times, no one came out. Instead, she called out Chai Jianmin who was sleeping next door.
Chai Jianmin lit a candle in his hand. The candle was very short, and Cheng Qiao was worried that the fire would burn his fingers. But in the eyes of the villagers, Chai Jianmin was like a ghost. His sallow face and deep sunken eyes were particularly creepy under the dim candlelight.
Qian Longkun was also shocked by Chai Jianmin's sudden haggardness. After Chai Jianmin distributed the food and money, he promptly paid back the money he owed to Cheng Qiao, and then ran around looking for cotton.
It’s just looking for cotton, how could he get himself into this state? Qian Longkun was somewhat disgusted with Chai Jianmin’s incompetence, but he still kept his lips tightly closed and said nothing.
"Chai Jianmin, have you seen Xu Laidi?"
Chen Weidang was also frightened by Chai Jianmin's dead look, but someone had to speak up. As he was the village chief, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"Xu Lai Di"
When Chai Jianmin heard the three words "Xu Laidi", a sinister smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he could finally get his revenge tonight.
