Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 12 Counterattack
These words sounded sincere yet strange, which made people suspicious.
The village chief sensed something unusual in this: "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with what your father said?"
Seeing that something was not right, Zhang Laoda quickly interrupted and tried to stabilize the situation: "Second brother, if you have done something, you must have the courage to admit it. My parents and I saw the scene last night with our own eyes. Don't try to fool around here!"
Zhang Laoer did not refute, but kept his pitiful look and whispered: "Brother taught me that all the mistakes are mine. I admit it. Village chief, please don't pursue it anymore. It's all my fault for being confused..."
His words seemed frank on the surface, but they seemed to hide a secret that could not be told, which made people suspicious.
This series of events made everyone present feel heavy-hearted, especially Boss Zhang. His mood was extremely complicated. What Boss Zhang said seemed reasonable at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong.
Just as Zhang's father and son were still immersed in the confusion brought about by Zhang Laoer's sudden "confession", Xu Liyun suddenly burst into tears.
Although she was tall, she looked extremely thin due to long-term hard work. The little daughter in her arms was also sobbing constantly. The picture of the mother and daughter hugging each other moved everyone present.
Even though Village Chief Zhang was known to be a hard-hearted man in the village, he couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment.
"Second brother, today's scene is really confusing. As soon as I entered the door, I heard children crying and adults wailing. We gathered together to discuss serious matters. If you have any grievances, you can speak out directly without hiding anything."
Hearing this, Xu Liyun gently rubbed her eye sockets with her fingers. That action seemed to want to wipe away all the strong disguise and completely release the pain in her heart, making her eyes look even more rosy: "Village Chief, it's not that we are hiding it on purpose, it's really that this matter involves the face of our elders, and we two really don't know how to bring it up!"
Faced with such evasion, Village Chief Zhang, who has always been resolute and decisive, has the least patience with pretentiousness.
He suddenly slapped the table, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he could not refute it: "Speak! With me, Zhang, here, is there anything that cannot be put on the table?"
After hearing what Village Chief Zhang said, Xu Liyun seemed to have found support, and said resolutely: "Since the village chief is so reasonable, I will put aside the concerns of Zhang's wife and tell the truth! You may also know that my family has never been kind to me and the second brother, and they prefer the eldest brother and the third brother. Over the years, the second brother and I have worked hard outside, busy from morning to night, saving every penny, just to make life better for our family."
"I naively thought that as long as we tried our best, we could win the understanding and warmth of our family. Who would have thought that a few days ago, our family was in urgent need of money. We traveled day and night, but unfortunately met with misfortune by the creek. The most heartbreaking thing was that when my parents arrived, they did not ask about our safety first, but rushed to search if we had any hidden money. When they found that the money was gone, they cruelly abandoned us by the river and left us to fend for ourselves!"
Recalling this, Xu Liyun was overwhelmed with grief. She covered her face and cried, and her tears fell silently like pearls from a broken string.
On the side, the young girl was obviously deeply touched by her mother's sadness.
Her round eyes were filled with tears and her chubby little hands gently touched her mother's cheek.
"Mom, don't cry, I'm here, I love you, and when you grow up, I'll earn money to support you and won't let you suffer anymore!"
After hearing the little girl's warm words, Xu Liyun's crying gradually subsided. She took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"We, a family of five, were lucky enough to escape the flood. But when we returned home exhausted, we found that the big house that belonged to us had been taken over by our eldest nephew. Poor little mother, only three years old, was forced to live in that leaky woodshed!"
Xu Liyun's narration moved everyone present, especially the village head Zhang and his wife. When they thought of You Niang's experience, they felt as if their hearts were being stabbed by needles.
Mrs. Zhang, the village chief, was naturally familiar with her own dilapidated woodshed. It was small and run-down, with leaks everywhere. Even adults could not stand it, let alone young children.
"We are not greedy for that room, but now that our luggage is lost, it is really difficult for a family of six to squeeze into that dilapidated woodshed. We had no choice but to beg the eldest son to let us borrow it for a few days. The second son also contributed a lot to the construction of the Zhang family's house. It was clearly agreed that everyone except our parents would get a room. Now we just want to return to the place we deserve. Isn't this request too much?"
Xu Liyun's words reveal helplessness and persistence, and every word is gripping.
Village Chief Zhang's eyes were like sharp swords, piercing through the air, and he glared at Zhang Fu fiercely.
He didn't say much, just let out a dull hum from his nose.
Xu Liyun's voice was filled with helplessness and indignation. "Who could have expected that when I asked for temporary accommodation, Da Wa would be like a lit firecracker and beat up You Niang without saying a word, and he kept saying that he wanted to sell her for money to go to school! For the sake of my precious daughter, I was so angry that I couldn't help but slap Da Wa a few times. Perhaps it was this incident that made my eldest brother resent me and instigated my old father to come to the village to seek justice."
Zhang Lao Da was furious when he heard this. He pointed his finger at Xu Liyun and scolded her, "You bitch, you are talking nonsense! It was you who started the fight first. We, father and son, just couldn't stand your tyranny, so we came to the village chief to seek justice!"
Facing Boss Zhang's harsh accusations, Xu Liyun's body involuntarily shrank slightly, and she subconsciously hugged her younger daughter Youniang tighter.
Her face turned pale and a trace of panic and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Youniang felt her mother trembling. Although her voice was also trembling, she stood up bravely and used all her strength to defend her mother: "Mom didn't say anything nonsense. Big brother Da Wa often bullied me. Mom only did that to protect me."
At this time, Zhang Siwa interrupted and tried to ease the tense atmosphere: "Young mother, don't say anything for now. Uncle and Third Uncle don't like us very much. If we say something bad about them in front of the village chief, Uncle will definitely be furious when he gets home, and he might even smash our house. Just like last night, Uncle smashed his own house like a madman. Fortunately, my parents stopped him in time, otherwise I'm afraid we would not be able to escape."
Village Chief Zhang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and quickly grasped the key point in the conversation: "You mean that the damage to the items in the house was caused by your uncle, and it has nothing to do with your parents?"
