Chapter 212 Reasons for the Fight
Chapter 212 Reasons for the Fight
Xiao Siyue was speechless after hearing this; what kind of situation was this?
Leaving aside the reason why the Liu family and the Xiao family fought, let's talk about those who tried to break up the fight.
You guys were trying to break up a fight, how did it turn into a brawl? Is this funny? The people fighting are still standing there perfectly fine, while the people trying to break it up are already lying down.
However, since this happened in the workshop, no matter what the reason was, Xiao Siyue couldn't just ignore it, so she sent someone to fetch a doctor to treat the person.
"Let's stop work today and talk about it again tomorrow." Work can't start under these circumstances. Several people are injured, and with this incident, people's hearts won't be at ease until the situation is cleared up. It's better to stop, deal with the matter, and then resume work.
"Shi Hai, go and fetch the village chief first," Xiao Siyue said. Although this happened in the workshop, the village chief still needed to know.
"Yue girl, no need, I'm already here." Just as he finished speaking, the village chief's voice rang out from behind.
The village chief already knew about what happened here, and he came over in a rage.
"Grandpa Village Chief, do you already know?" Xiao Siyue didn't expect the village chief to arrive so quickly.
"Yes, Yue'er, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter." After giving Xiao Siyue a doting look, the village chief immediately changed to a gloomy expression and looked at Granny Liu and the others.
He never expected that the people in his village would actually cause such a ruckus. Did they think life was too good for them? They actually dared to come to the workshop and fight.
"Xiao Ming's wife, tell me, why did you hit Liu happy's wife?" the village chief asked one of the parties involved.
“Village chief, Liu happy’s wife deserves to be beaten.” Xiao Ming’s wife said, glaring at Liu’s mother, without any fear of the village chief’s gaze.
Granny Liu was immediately enraged and started cursing: "Xu Xinghua, you shameless hussy, what are you saying? You hit someone and you still think you're right? I think you're the one who deserves to be hit. I'll beat you to death!"
The person holding Liu Pozi was caught off guard and Liu Pozi opened her eyes. Liu Pozi rushed in front of Xiao Ming's wife, Xu Xinghua, and started to tear her hair.
Xu Xinghua was also a shrew, and she wouldn't let Granny Liu get away with it, so she reached out and grabbed Granny Liu's already messy hair.
While tearing the cloth, she cursed, "You're the slut, your whole family are sluts."
The village chief was furious with the two of them. He was still there, and they dared to fight.
"Stop right there! You don't respect me, the village chief, do you?" The village chief's words were full of anger.
The two daughters were already in a frenzy and completely ignored the village chief's words.
However, Xiao Ming and Liu happy could hear the anger in the villagers' words, so they quickly went up and pulled the people away.
"Are you quiet now? If you still want to fight, I'll let you fight to your heart's content." The village chief looked at the two of them with icy eyes.
Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were torn. Now that they had regained their senses, they realized that the village chief's authority was not something they could challenge.
"No, I won't fight anymore," Granny Liu stammered.
"Hmph, it's good that you're not fighting anymore. Then tell me what exactly happened that caused you to make such a fuss here," the village chief asked seriously.
"Village chief, you have to stand up for me! You have no idea how badly Xu Xinghua beat my daughter-in-law. She's still bedridden and can't get up," Granny Liu said, squeezing out a few tears.
However, she wasn't worried about her daughter-in-law; she was worried about the money. How much would it cost to see a doctor? Another thing was saving face. She could tolerate her daughter-in-law being beaten and scolded by Xu Xinghua, an outsider. How could she accept that? Where would her pride be? How could she maintain her standing in Xiaojia Village afterward?
Why did Xu Xinghua hit your daughter-in-law?
The village chief was beginning to believe Granny Liu's words. Xu Xinghua had definitely hit Liu happy's wife, but it was hard to say exactly how badly she was injured.
"This... I don't know either. My daughter-in-law was taking my grandson to play in the village when, for some reason, Xu Xinghua beat her up. By the time I got there, my daughter-in-law was already on the ground." This was the truth; she was just strolling around the village when she happened to run into the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the village chief turned his gaze to Xu Xinghua, who was glaring fiercely at Granny Liu.
"Xiao Ming's wife, is what Granny Liu said true?" Xu Xinghua is indeed a notorious shrew in the village, but she doesn't easily cause trouble. Why did she beat Liu happy's wife this time? Did the two of them quarrel?
Thinking about this, the village chief felt it was very likely. Although Liu happy's wife was timid and submissive under her mother-in-law, she was quite arrogant in front of outsiders.
"It's true, but I didn't say she couldn't get up after hitting her. She clearly walked back by herself in the end." Xu Xinghua glanced at Granny Liu with disdain.
"How could it not be? My daughter-in-law couldn't get up after she went back." Granny Liu was a little guilty, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
"Oh, shall we go to your house and take a look?"
"Hmph, even if it's not that serious, it's a fact that you hit my daughter-in-law." Upon hearing Xu Xinghua's words, Granny Liu immediately changed her tune.
The village chief also noticed, and glared at Granny Liu with displeasure. How dare Granny Liu deceive her!
"Alright, Xu Xinghua, tell me, why did you hit Liu happy's wife?" The village chief didn't want to hear what the two of them had to say. He needed to get to the bottom of things as soon as possible so he could give Xiao Siyue an explanation.
"Village chief, you must stand up for my Xiao Ming!" Xu Xinghua suddenly said to the village chief with a sob in her voice.
"This..." The village chief was completely bewildered. What did this have to do with Xiao Ming? Did Liu happy's wife hit Xiao Ming? The village chief looked at Xiao Ming with suspicion.
Xiao Ming was also completely bewildered. How did this involve him? He had thought it was his wife and Liu happy's wife having a fight.
"Wife?" Xiao Ming looked at Xu Xinghua, puzzled.
“Village chief, you don’t know, I originally wanted to go to the fields today, but I ran into Liu happy’s wife… she actually plotted to harm my Xiao Ming.”
"Why would she harm Xiao Ming? What grudge does she have against him?" The village chief was even more puzzled.
“My son Xiaoming is doing well in the workshop, and Manager Liu wants to train him. Liu Xi’s family is not satisfied with this, so they want to frame my son Xiaoming for stealing paper from the workshop so that they can kick him out.” When Xu Xinghua heard this, she was immediately enraged and went up to fight with Liu happy’s wife.
During this time, Xiao Ming told him when he came back that Liu Xiaoyu had been taking care of him. Xiao Ming also secretly told him that he might be in charge of managing the workshop in the future.
She was overjoyed to know this, but then she heard what Liu happy's wife said, and how could she not be angry?
