Chapter 154
Chapter 154
"Your second sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger now. Your eldest sister-in-law asked her to bring the child in to avoid being accidentally injured." Father Zhong explained, his eyes still fixed on the eldest daughter-in-law and Zhou's mother in front of him. Suddenly, his eyes became stern, "Eldest and third brother, you should go too!"
It turned out that when Li Guihua and Zhou's mother were fighting, Zhou Yushou took advantage of no one's attention, picked up a wooden stick in the yard and wanted to hit Li Guihua on the back of the head.
Seeing that the wooden stick was about to hit Li Guihua's head, Zhong Ruyi's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he immediately stepped forward to snatch the stick away.
The people around were also shocked by this sudden change. They never expected that Zhou Yushou had such a vicious side.
At this moment, Li Guihua suddenly turned over. She was originally riding on Zhou's mother, pressing her under her and beating her. With this turning over, the person on top became Zhou's mother, and the wooden stick that was supposed to fall on Li Guihua's head hit Zhou's mother's head instead.
Mother Zhou let out a cry of pain and then fainted.
The scene was in chaos, with all kinds of noises coming from the crowd.
"Oh my god! The eldest son of the Zhou family killed someone!"
"Catch him quickly! What if he kills one and it's not enough?"
Zhou Yushou's mind went blank. The wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He was immediately grabbed and his hands were tied up.
Zhong Ruyi quickly pulled her sister-in-law over to prevent Zhou Yushou from suddenly going crazy.
"Are you okay, sister-in-law?!"
The Zhong family members also gathered around at this time, and Zhou's father was also tied up and thrown aside.
Zhao Ganwei was furious. "Old Zhou, do your people want to kill someone? I just saw that he was going to hit the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family with this stick!"
"It would be unreasonable not to report this to the authorities. Come on, tie up these three people. Let's go to the town to report to the authorities and see the county magistrate!"
Li Guihua also had a frightened look on her face. Fortunately, she had just seen Zhou Yushou's actions out of the corner of her eye, otherwise the back of her head would have been in danger.
Village chief Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He wanted to persuade Zhao Ganwei, but he was not the only one who saw what happened just now. So many people around him saw it, and he couldn't explain it away even if he wanted to.
He loudly rebuked Zhou Yushou, "Are you crazy? You came here to cause trouble and even wanted to hit someone? Fortunately, your mother blocked it for her, otherwise, what would have happened to you?"
Then he turned his head and smiled at Li Guihua, "My dear sister-in-law, you don't have anything to worry about. Why don't you just let it go and let them compensate you with some money so that the matter is over, okay?"
"Go over?" Zhong Ruyi smiled. "Village Chief Zhou, right? I think you are talking without any pain in your waist, right? If my sister-in-law hadn't dodged the situation just now, she would be the one lying there now. How can you have the nerve to say something like forget it?"
"Also, when they came to our house to cause trouble, we had already told them to pay some money and that would be the end of it. Do you think they have any intention of letting it go? They even wanted to beat up my sister-in-law. This is attempted murder and we must report it to the police!"
Li Guihua wanted to say something, but when she received the look from her younger sister, she immediately understood. She cried out "ouch" and almost fell down. Fortunately, Boss Zhong caught her.
She leaned weakly on Boss Zhong, looking like she was about to faint.
"Oh, I have such a miserable life! Not only was I beaten up at home out of nowhere, but now I was almost killed. And someone wants me to just pretend it never happened. I have such a miserable life!"
Village chief Zhou was so anxious that he almost wanted to cover her mouth with his hands. He originally thought that the women in the village would be more easygoing. As long as the Zhong family did not pursue the matter, there would be nothing they could do even if Zhao Ganwei wanted to report to the police.
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant. You should take a rest first!" Village chief Zhou was shocked when he saw her weak appearance, fearing that she would really collapse.
The people around were noisy. They were all from Xinghua Village, and they were all very excited.
"People from other villages have come to our Xinghua Village to beat people up. If they dare to beat people up now, they will dare to kill people in the future! I'm really afraid that I'll be killed for no reason when I walk on the street in the future!"
The one with the loudest voice was Aunt Tian. Zhong Ruyi didn't expect that she could howl so loudly.
"Yes, everyone in our Xinghua Village has been bullied. We must not let them go!"
"Village chief, please take them to the police! I'm so scared!"
Zhou's mother, who was lying on the ground, had woken up dazed. She didn't know what had just happened. She was clearly fighting with the Zhong family, and she didn't know who had launched the surprise attack.
She staggered to her feet, holding her head, and saw that her old man and son had their hands and feet tied and their mouths blocked.
She was so panicked that she quickly grabbed the sweaty village chief Zhou and said, "Village chief, what happened? Why did you tie up my old man and Yu Shou like this? Let them go quickly. I am willing to pay you!"
She was reluctant to take the money just now, but when she saw the old man and his son being tied up like this, she panicked and just wanted to give the money quickly and leave.
Village Chief Zhou was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "I asked you to give me money just now but you refused. Now it's hard for you to give me money!"
Zhou's mother was very panicked, or maybe she was too dizzy after being hit on the head with a stick. "Village chief, didn't they say to give five taels of silver and let it go? I have it, I'll give it to you now, ask them to release Old Zhou and Yu Shou!"
She took out the purse she carried with her and took out five taels of silver from it. Ever since all the silver in the house was stolen by Zhou Yuru last time, she had developed the habit of keeping all the money on her.
While the two were talking, Zhao Ganwei had already asked people to send the father and son to the town to meet the officials. After she woke up, he wanted to have someone tie her up and send her away as well.
Mother Zhou was panicked and didn't know what to do. She turned her head and saw the Zhong family looking at them with a look of anticipation. She rushed over and said, "I beg you, don't send my son to see the officials! I am willing to pay compensation! I beg you!"
The Zhong family members looked at her lying on the ground begging them with blood all over her forehead, and their hearts softened for a moment.
But when he thought about the bad intentions of the three Zhou family members who came to his house, his heart suddenly hardened. Besides, the stick should have been hit on Li Guihua's head, it was just that a different person was used.
Li Guihua shuddered when she saw the blood on her forehead. This family was so cruel. She couldn't even imagine how painful it would be if she was hit by such a thick stick.
Zhong Ruyi frowned and said to his father, "Dad, you and your elder and third brothers should follow the village chief to the town to report to the police. My elder and second sisters-in-law and I will wait for you at home."
Mr. Zhong nodded, then left with his two sons with a sullen face.
The village chief had already brought people to take the Zhou family with him, and Village Chief Zhou also followed.
Some of the people around wanted to watch the fun and followed to the town, while others left in twos and threes. I believe that what happened today will be discussed for a long time in the future.
