Chapter 162:
After Li Zhengxin arrived, he saw the mess in the courtyard, his face ashen.
He happened to encounter that group provoking him, holding various clubs, threatening verbally, and swaggering out of the village.
They grabbed Li Wei and lectured him, “Li Wei, this means you’re not taking me, the village chief, seriously!”
“As the village head, Uncle has to criticize you a few words today. You’re at least a member of Zhao Li Village. Not to mention striving for the village, if you keep bringing outsiders into the village to cause trouble like this, don’t blame me for not being polite!” It had only been a few days since the Li Ergou incident settled?
Li Wei’s face flushed green then red, finally turning purplish, not daring to lift his head under the scolding.
“Your parents ran to someone’s home to cause trouble and got bitten. It’s not like they were bored and brought Bill to eat your mother’s ear!”
“What do you mean by bringing those shady people back to the village to beat their mother and daughter? You scared the innocent women, old women, and little children in the village, hurt them. Can you take responsibility?” His gaze looked at Old Lady Zhao, who was covered in mud and trembling in fear.
“Getting bitten is something no one wanted to see. The family that needs to see a doctor is paying silver for treatment. San Mao’s Wife also said she’s willing to provide some financial compensation depending on the situation!”
“As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. You’re relatives, so why fight to the death?” Meaning their two brothers at the top were on bad terms, leading the younger generation to fight with weapons!
Li Zhengsen was embarrassed, head down, face red and neck thick. This matter was also picked by Zhao Xiaomei when she was young!
“As the current sole pillar of the Old Li Family, is this how you handle things? Isn’t she Luo Zhi’er, Miaomiao not from your Old Li Family?”
“Bullshit! They split the family long ago. Who would go to prison with them as family!” Zhao Xiaomei jumped up. This damn Li Zhengxin actually shamed her family’s Li Wei in front of the whole village!
The village chief glanced at Zhao Xiaomei, who was putting on a show like singing opera: “We’ll talk about you later. It’s because you have a mother like this that there are such descendants!”
“What’s wrong with my descendants? My family’s Li Wei is too outstanding. Who in our village can compare to him?” Her shrill voice pierced everyone’s ears painfully.
“Even if you cultivate for ten lifetimes, you might not compare to my son!”
“Li Zhengsen, control your woman. I see her ear doesn’t hurt at all!”
Continued criticizing Li Wei,
“When Luo Zhi’er and they were framed, bullied, and had no food, why didn’t you help their mother and daughter? You’re not even as good as an outsider?”
It was because he saw neighbor Old Lady Zhao anxiously limping to find him, losing her shoe, that he spoke like this.
“Village Chief Uncle, you say it easily. The one whose ear was bitten off is my mother. Even more hateful is that the damn beast ate it.”
Zhao Xiaomei chimed in, immediately starting to groan and wail, “My ear, poor ear, it hurts me to death. You’re really standing and talking without backache!”
Li Wei glared viciously at Bill, who was nonchalant on the side, and said through gritted teeth,
“It was Luo Zhi’er who deliberately let the dog bite people first. Since she Luo Zhi’er was lucky to escape today, I must punish that damn beast today!”
Luo Zhi’er sneered, “Such big talk!”
Li Wei smiled sinisterly. Little bitch, don’t be arrogant. Wait for me!
Continued to cup his hands to the village chief, “Village Chief Uncle, you can’t stop me this time. This is also for everyone’s sake. Keeping such a scourge in the village, won’t the villagers be bitten at any time? Do we have to wait until everyone is missing arms or legs?”
Li Zhengxin heard from his words that this was defiance against him, meaning he always deliberately helped Luo Zhi’er and her daughter!
The culprit cannot be lenient!
As soon as he said this, the villagers immediately started chattering.
That’s true. That thing is still silent now, caused such a big disaster, yet it’s quietly huddled on the ground, coldly staring at them with its fierce face.
Not taking them seriously, making their scalps tingle!
“Don’t hurt Bill!”
Miaomiao said vigilantly.
“Mother, what to do?”
Old Lady Zhao looked at Bill, also a bit reluctant. She had fed it food for several days; it was like her companion.
“Zhengxin, this won’t do. Bill is at least a life. How can you bear to kill it? It didn’t bite people randomly!”
Li Zhengxin pondered for a moment.
Zhao Xiaomei intensified her crying.
Villagers began to suggest, “Kill Bill. Keeping this thing is always a scourge!”
“There are so many elderly and children in the village. Although it’s tied with a rope, what if it breaks free and runs out to eat someone? It’s not just biting injuries; this thing might take lives!”
Li Zhengsen hurriedly said: “Brother Decai, this time you finally said something fair. If this fierce dog isn’t removed, the village can’t be peaceful. Today it’s my Li Zhengsen’s family, tomorrow it might be your Li Decai’s family. No one can sleep easy.”
Li Decai’s face changed with anger, “Li Zhengsen, what nonsense are you spouting, child!”
A bit angry. Wasn’t this cursing him?
“Heh heh, Brother, I don’t speak well. The matter is what it is. Just look at Wei Zi’s mother’s miserable state and you’ll know!”
Everyone turned their gazes to Zhao Xiaomei groaning “Ouch, ouch,” then to the missing ear. Angered, Zhao Xiaomei covered it: “Look at what! Stop gawking at my misfortune!”
Ignoring what she said, they looked again at Bill baring its teeth, drooling, sticking out its big tongue to lick its mouth, inexplicably shivering!
Luo Zhi’er looked around and saw Li Zuzu, Zhao Zuzu, and others somewhat agreeing to kill Bill. She bowed to everyone: “Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, Bill is indeed a fierce dog, but it never attacks people randomly. Naturally, you’ve all seen it’s a very intelligent dog. As for the price, it’s extremely expensive!”
“Oh? Heh heh, just a fierce dog. How many silver can it be worth?”
Li Wei said with a half-smile.
Luo Zhi’er looked at him with disdain, faintly saying,
“It’ll scare you to death. No exaggeration, my fierce dog is one of a kind in the entire Taoyuan Town. If you don’t believe, go to the dog market in town and ask around. This Heavenly Dog comes from the distant far north, worth a thousand gold. Since you want to kill it, you must compensate me. Tell me, Li Wei, are you willing to compensate me a thousand gold?”
“What? Hahaha, hilarious, trying to extort me? Worth a thousand gold? Think I haven’t seen the world, that this thing is a mountain of gold and silver?”
“Pretty much. I bet a little Li Wei like you can’t afford compensation. I’ll wait at home. If you want to kill it, send the silver first. If you have no silver and still dare to target my Heavenly Dog, hmph! No way! If my Bill loses even one hair, we’ll meet at the yamen!!!”
The yamen generally doesn’t take trivial cases. For such minor civilian cases, reporting to officials first means getting beaten with planks. But since Bill is worth a thousand gold, the case would be filed very quickly.
Hearing it’s worth a thousand gold, many villagers backed off, booing and sighing. They couldn’t afford to compensate.
Of course, some villagers questioned: “A thousand gold? Heh heh, I don’t quite believe it. Where could Luo Zhi’er get so much silver to buy a dog worth a thousand gold?”
“Right, that’s it!”
Zhao Xiaomei immediately jumped up shrilly: “Tricking ghosts maybe. Luo Zhi’er is fooling you. Where in the world is there a beast worth a thousand gold?”
“Hmph! Today this damn beast is finally going to see the King of Hell!”
“Later, this old lady will chop off your two big ears, make roasted meat to eat! Meat into stew! Fur burned to ash for you, see you be arrogant!”
Bill coldly looked at her, suddenly licking its tongue at her.
Scared, she quickly touched her ear, touched empty, uncomfortably tilting her neck. The bitten side was empty, cool breeze blowing through.
It stimulated her,
“Ah! You damn beast, spit out my ear! Luo Zhi’er you bitch! Compensate my ear, heavens kill you! I Zhao Xiaomei ruined for life!”
Cried and wailed so long, seeing her ferocious expression, though old, missing an ear always felt uncomfortable.
Took a breath, secretly thinking why run out in such hot weather? What if like Li Daniu’s Mother, grew worms?
Scared the little children into nightmares? Previously who was touched by the black bear, came out half face gone, remembered from childhood to old age!
“Wei Zi’s mother, calm down. Even if spit out, what then? It’s chewed up and digested, can’t be sewn back.”
“Wei Zi’s mother, can you still hear me with this ear?” Ma Shenzi stepped forward to ask.
She couldn’t help being a bit curious. The bite left only a bloody hole!
“Wei Zi’s mother?”
Waved her hand in front of her face.
He Hua pulled her.
“Ma Shi, get lost, you old woman! Stirring trouble for fun!” Zhao Xiaomei was furious, ear throbbing painfully making her panic. Wasn’t this stinking woman deliberately mocking her?
Was it time to care if she could hear now?
Actually, she also felt rumbling inside the ear, maybe a problem. Anyway, the other one could hear.
“What are you all standing around for? Hurry and beat that beast to death!” Zhao Xiaomei roared.
“Right, beat it to death!”
“Beat it to death! Beat it to death!”
They all crowded forward, “San Mao’s Wife, don’t blame us. This is for everyone’s safety.”
“I’ll go get the slaughter knife!”
“Everyone calm down. What Luo Zhi’er said might be true!”
At this time, suddenly someone in the crowd spoke out.
