Village Head Gu was simply speechless. What kind of mess was this? What did he mean by telling her that if they didn’t give their village a decent explanation the matter would not end?
Could someone at least tell her what was actually going on? Maybe she needed to talk thoroughly with the villagers, it was fine if they wanted to make trouble but they should at least tell her!
She was always thrown off the loop because she was the last one to find out what was going on and yet as Village Head Gu was the head of the village, she was pushed into the frontline without even grasping the situation.
Sometimes she felt like an innocent soldier who was in charge of chopping and cooking meals for her colleagues but was suddenly pulled out of the kitchen and thrown to the front of the battlefield with nothing but a sword!
This was simply too much!
Village Head Gu was annoyed and frustrated by the actions of her villagers but she still raised her head and straightened her spine before saying in a confident tone, “What do you mean by that you will not let this matter rest? I am telling you Master Zhou, you better put these weapons down.”
“Don’t think that our village is easy to bully. If you dare to show off your might in front of us, it will be your biggest mistake!”
“Do you want to try?”
Village Head Gu’s words left Master Zhou and the rest of the villagers who came with him annoyed but at the same time, they dared not to go against her.
Seeing that her words had worked, Village Head Gu raised and stretched her neck like a haughty rooster before saying loudly, “Hmm? So you want to go to war with us? Why are you not dropping your weapons, huh?”
Everyone from the Zhou village turned and looked at Master Zhou. It wasn’t that they were exceptionally united but they feared Master Zhou whose family had a skilled and well-connected matchmaker.
If they offended Master Zhou who knows what might happen to their children?
Master Zhou scowled as well. He didn’t want to lower the long and thick pole that he was carrying in his hands, but he could sense that if he did not back down, Village Head Gu would really escalate this matter.
“Fine!” Master Zhou snorted as he threw the log in his hands onto the ground and Village Head Gu released a sigh of relief. At the same time, she cursed the idiot who brought this troublemaker to their village.
Master Zhou was not skilled himself but he loved to rely on the third husband of his wife. Thus, even though he was an arrogant and selfish person, he knew when to stop.
With his hands on his hips, he glared at Village Head Gu and said to her, “Since it’s Village Head Gu who asked me to stop, I will give you face but you still need to call the person who beat my daughter up!”
“I am not going anywhere without getting a proper apology! Unless I am satisfied with their apology, this matter will not end — and I telling you if I am not satisfied then I will definitely relay this matter to my third brother.”
“We can’t have young and innocent mers marrying in your village. What if you treat them just as you treated my daughter? Humph! We can’t have their lives ruined in the hands of the beasts living in your village.”
As he spoke he snorted and sat down on the raised platform next to the old banyan tree in the village.
…
Beasts was quite a vicious word.
It was even more disgusting than being blamed for being harsh and cruel upon mers. After all, no one would marry their mers to the Big River Village if rumors were to spread about the women of their village acting like beasts then who would marry them?
Village Head Gu frowned upon hearing his words. She parted her lips, “Master Zhou—”
“And what are you going to call your daughter who was harassing my husband?” Yu Dong who had arrived upon hearing the commotion suddenly spoke up.
When everyone heard her voice, they were stunned.
Because when Master Zhou said that Zhou Jiao Jiao was caught, he said that she was caught harassing a mer whose wife was insignificant. Was Yu Dong someone who could be counted as insignificant?
Even Master Zhou was shocked.
“Y—Your…your husband?” Master Zhou couldn’t believe it. He shrieked in disbelief, “No you are lying!”
His daughter was an idiot but she was not that big of an idiot. How could she offend Yu Dong of all people?
Master Zhou never expected that his daughter would end up causing such a mess, did she eat the gall bladder of a leopard or a tiger? What was she thinking of harassing the husband of Yu Dong?
Master Zhou felt like he was tricked by his own daughter.
When he heard that his daughter was beaten up, he thought that he could make the other person cough up a generous amount of money as compensation.
But could he do such a thing when the other person was Yu Dong?
Master Zhou staggered while staring at Yu Dong.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Dong asked with mock concern. “Do you want me to call the village physician? She is currently tending to your daughter’s injuries. You need to wait for a while.”
When Master Zhou heard Yu Dong’s words, he gritted his teeth in anger. However, he couldn’t act or throw a tantrum because the person in front of him was Yu Dong.
He had long heard of her fame and knew that she wouldn’t be fooled by his actions.
“No…there is no need.” Master Zhou smiled flatteringly at Yu Dong. He was filled with anger at the thought of how he needed to smile and flatter the woman who was the cause of his daughter’s injuries!
Truly annoying.
