Everyone laughed out loud and happily finished their rich lunch. When the rain stopped, they went to the street to buy some food and other stuff. They returned to the village as soon as they finished shopping.
At this time, Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu pulled Village Chief Li in front of Hu Family’s yard while crying. Their crying voice sounds so miserable, and it was even mixed up with cursing words.
“They’re back, Hu Changlin and the others are back.”
The onlookers on the road said to Village Chief Li.
Village Chief Li stretched his neck and saw that the carriage coming slowly towards them.
The carriage stopped in front of everyone, and Awu, who was driving asked the crowd: “What are you doing here?”
Village Chief Li squeezed himself out of the crowd and asked Awu: “You’re back, I waited for you for a long time.”
Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu also squeezed themselves out of the crowd. Then, Old Lady Bai put her hand on her waist and pointed her finger on the other hand at Awu: “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you should be stabbed by thousand knives, you run away after hurting my son. If you have the ability, don’t come back here!”
Bai Zhi said to Zhao Lan and Zhao Sue: “Don’t come out yet, I’ll deal with it.”
She gets out of the carriage and stood by the stair frame. She coldly looked down at Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu. Her cold eyes flashed with a trace of sarcasm.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Stabbed by a thousand knives? Who are you scolding?” Her voice was soft, but every word fell clearly in everyone’s ears.
Old Lady Bai’s heart beat so fast. She doesn’t know why, but recently, whenever she saw this little girl, she can’t calm down, nor have the heart to look at her. Her eyes seemed to be able to see right through her heart… …
However, Mrs. Liu, who was on the side, didn’t feel the same. When she saw the old lady didn’t answer back immediately, she hurriedly shouted, in fear of their momentum suddenly disappeared: “Who are we scolding? Isn’t your dog slave who hurt Dazhu? Are you going to say that didn’t happen?”
Bai Zhi’s face drastically changed, she angrily said: “Liu Guihua, you better keep your mouth clean. Even if your whole family became a dog slave, Awu Dage is not a slave. Besides, there were so many people in the village who saw it. It was your useless husband that wants to hurt others but accidentally hurt himself. He deserved it. It has nothing to do with Awu Dage.”
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she almost vomited blood, she immediately put her hands on her waist and shouted: “You fart, in a broad daylight, you’re talking about ghostly things. Dazhu broke his arms, is that even possible when you fall? Awu must have used some magical power to hurt my Dazhu.”
Bai Zhi coldly laughed: “Liu Guihua, you need to show evidence before you speak. You can’t just speak words so casually. I heard that in Chu Country, using magic power is prohibited. There is no exception. Village Chief, isn’t that true?”
Village Chief Li busily nodded his head: “Yes, yes, that is indeed the case.”
Bai Zhi then continued to say: “I also heard that any informant can receive a reward for merit, which can be as high as 1000 silver coins, but if you falsely accused people, you will compensate people for tainting their reputation. Village Chief, isn’t that right?”
Village Chief Li nodded his head again: “That is true!”
Bai Zhi didn’t know this before, but when they went to the tea house today, she some people sitting nearby talking about it. She just heard about it.
Bai Zhi then looked at Mrs. Liu with a cold eye: “I don’t know if your family can get 1,000 silver coins for compensation. If you can’t get it, it would be better if you stop talking about such thing casually.”
