After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family
Chapter 30: The Power of the Village Chief
An uncle came out with his waist twisted. He was also married from Majia Village, and for decades, he would go back to his father's house during the New Year and other festivals.
He looked down on Ma Taoguo with contempt. But every year when he went back home, he would hear his father say that his brother was not living well. Not only did he go back to his father's house every day to borrow food, but he also always brought his children to eat and drink for free. He was so shameless.
Ma Taoguo's body was trembling a little. What he had done was indeed not very glorious. It had been decades. Why did these people keep picking on him?
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the uncle.
"I was ignorant at the beginning and was deceived by others. I am innocent. You see how miserable my life is now. Are you very proud of it?"
Seeing his reaction, the uncle also felt uncomfortable.
"You said you were deceived? You should just say it out loud. Everyone knows that Zhang Xiu has failed the exam for several decades and you just want to use her to get ahead. You said you were deceived, but you are just making an excuse for yourself."
Ma Taoguo's lining was torn open fiercely, and most of the people in Luoshan Village looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
"What are you arguing about? Go home and have dinner."
This powerful voice came from behind.
The head of the village was just about to have dinner when he was invited by Song Xin. Moreover, this matter concerned the reputation of Song Xiucai's wife, so she could not be careless and had to handle it properly.
She looked around the Ma Taoguo and then said politely.
"You must be Taozhi's brother! We welcome you to visit our Luoshan Village, but why are you kneeling at the door of Song Xiucai's wife's house?"
The village head is not a simple woman. She has been the village head for decades and has seen everything.
Ma Taoguo didn't say anything. He just wouldn't get up and lowered his head even more. It seemed that he would not give up until he couldn't borrow the money.
Song Yu, Song Yi and Song Jing in the room were all speechless. Who the hell are these people!
The head of the village smiled. This guy really won't cry until he sees the coffin.
"Your wife is the lady from Wuyun Village, right?"
Ma Taoguo said nothing and continued kneeling at the gate of the Song family.
"Okay! It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. Tomorrow I will go to the head of Wuyun Village to talk to him about how the ladies in their village discipline their husbands, or did Zhang Xiu force you to come? If that's the case, such ladies should not take the imperial examination. It's simply a disgrace to society."
"No, my wife didn't force me to come here. I came here of my own accord."
As soon as Ma Taoguo heard her mention Zhang Xiu, she reacted immediately.
"But isn't this bringing shame upon your wife? You should know that if this matter of yours gets out, Zhang Xiu won't be able to take the exam to become a scholar, and he may even be deprived of his political rights in the future."
Ma Taoguo opened his eyes wide and shook his head. No! He had waited for this day for so many years, how could he give up.
"do not you know?"
Seeing the head of the village say something incomprehensible, he asked back.
"what do you know?"
"If a scholar with a good reputation is slandered, threatened, and forced, guess what will happen to you."
Ma Taoguo's face turned pale. He had never thought about those things before. He thought that by doing this he could make the Song family compromise, but he didn't expect that this would pose a threat.
"A scholar's wife doesn't need to kneel when she sees an official. How dare you, a little boy, challenge her reputation and fame again and again? You are bringing shame upon her, so you will have to see the official."
Looking at the frosty smile of the head of the village, he trembled all over. Only now did he realize how unwise it was for a nameless boy like him to provoke the family of a scholar with a reputation.
"Alas! Considering that you are a first-time offender and you are ignorant, I don't blame you, but the Song family really has no money to lend you. Sister Song is still lying in bed! She takes medicine every day, where can she get the money to lend you?"
Mr. Song was both responsible and insolent, which made Ma Taoguo feel very embarrassed.
"Forget it, you'd better get up quickly! It's getting late, and it's not safe to go back to Wuyun Village. How about this! You stay at my house for one night, and I'll take you back tomorrow. It's just the right time for me to have a chat with your headman."
"No, I'll be back right away. I walk fast, so I'll be back in no time. You don't need to see me off."
Ma Taoguo didn't dare to kneel down. His legs felt numb when he stood up and he almost fell flat on his face.
But after standing firm, he ran away quickly, without even looking back.
He was afraid in his heart. The head of Wuyun Village was a ruthless character. Not only was he the only one in power, but he also particularly enjoyed torturing people.
When he ran to the village entrance, Zhang Xiu was waiting for him there stealthily.
"How's it going? Did you borrow it?"
"No."
Ma Taoguo shook his head and left without looking back. Zhang Xiu was furious and wanted to scold him, but thinking that the money was nowhere to be found, she held back.
After watching the two unlucky guys leave, Song Xin felt relieved. His grandmother was right. If he had any problems, he could just go to the village head. She would help the Song family anyway.
Village head:……………………
Pan Xiaofu thanked the head of the village repeatedly. If this matter was not handled properly, it would damage Song Jushu's reputation, which was very important for a scholar's wife.
"Thank you, Uncle Song Jun. If it weren't for you this time, I don't know how this Ma family brother would have ruined the reputation of my Jiashu family."
"Hey! There's no point in saying these things. Our Song family is one, and it's normal for us to help each other. Besides, Ju Shu has also given back a lot of benefits to the village. How can I just stand by and watch?"
I didn't expect that after not seeing her for so many days, Aunt Song Jun had become so wrinkled.
"Okay, I'm going to go back first. If you need anything, just come to me. Your brother Xin is really smart. He knows who to call for help when there is something wrong."
This time, Pan Xiaofu also felt that he should reward Xin Ge'er well. If the village head had not been invited, this shameless boy from the Ma family might not have left.
It was really a headache from morning to night, and then he said in horror.
"It's bad. Can I feed Sister Yu milk today?"
Ma Taozhi's face turned pale immediately, and he hurried back to his room. Looking at Song Yu's wide-open eyes, he immediately undressed.
He hated Ma Taoguo in his heart. It was all his fault. He dragged him and his father into forgetting that Yujie'er had not yet been breastfed. It was he and his father who neglected it.
The head of the village went home happily with a bowl of rabbit meat in his hand. It's no wonder that in this village, only Mr. Song's wife's family is well-behaved, and her husband knows how to handle things.
Breakfast turned into dinner, and Song Yi was very hungry, so he started eating the cold rice in big mouthfuls.
Everyone in the family, except Ma Taozhi who was feeding her baby, was starving.
Pan Xiaofu left some food for Ma Taozhi. He was extremely worried and hoped that nothing would happen to Yu Jie'er, otherwise he would have to go to Wuyun Village and tear that little bitch apart.
Then go to Ma Village and make a fuss about how the Ma family educated their brothers. It is obvious that Taozhi in their family is a very good person, so how come they raised a shameless and slutty brother?
