Ordinary happy life

Chapter 50 Meeting

Lin Erzhu picked up two empty buckets with a pole in one hand, held the wooden basin that Li Mo had just brought in his other hand, and then walked to the village chief's house.

At this time, most of the women and husbands in the village were busy at home, so there were not many people walking outside in the village. This also made Li Mo breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would not know that he would be rumored in this way. What will become.

When Lin Erzhu sent Li Mo home, the village chief's husband was cleaning the yard. He almost fainted when he saw Li Mo's disheveled clothes. He swung the broom to the side, opened the courtyard door and pulled Li Mo in. He looked anxiously up and down at Li Mo. He saw scars on the corners of Li Mo's mouth and several holes in his clothes. He became more and more panicked and looked up and down. Stroking Li Mo to see if he had any other injuries, he asked urgently, "What happened? Didn't you go wash clothes? Why are you still injured???"

Li Mo didn't dare to hide it, so he went to wash him directly. When he was putting on his clothes, he met some women who were quarreling with each other, so he got into an argument with them and finally got into a fight. Of course, he didn't forget to tell the village chief and his husband that Lin Erzhu had saved him.

After listening to Li Mo's explanation of the cause and effect, the village chief's husband was really angry and angry. He was angry that Li Mo was willful and childish in doing things, and he was naturally angry that those women actually beat Li Mo in a group and injured Li Mo like this. Although he was very angry, the village chief's husband still thanked Lin Erzhu and said, "Er Zhuzhu, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known how badly I would have been hurt!!!"

"Uncle? " Don't say that, Brother Mo only got into trouble with those people just to stand up for Brother Qin." Lin Erzhu said repeatedly.

That's what he said, but if it weren't for Lin Erzhu's appearance, Li Mo would still have suffered a lot, so the village chief's husband was truly grateful to Lin Erzhu.

"Uncle, my family is still waiting for me to carry water back. Since Brother Mo has been delivered safely, I will leave first." Lin Erzhu saw that the village chief's husband wanted to find something to thank him, so he quickly found a reason to carry it. The bucket ran away.

The village chief's husband couldn't help but look annoyed when he saw Lin Erzhu running away. He also thought about catching a chicken or duck for Lin Erzhu to take back, but as soon as he turned around, Lin Erzhu ran away.

The village chief's husband had no choice but to take Li Mo to freshen up and change clothes and take some medicine. He could only wait for the village chief Li to come back for the rest. Those who bullied his little brother must not just let it go. Everyone is protective of their shortcomings. Even if it can be said that Li Mo started this attack, the village chief's husband will not care about them. He only sees them. My little brother is injured.

When Village Chief Li came back with his sons, he saw his husband sitting there wiping his tears, and his daughters-in-law and sons-in-law were there to persuade him. He was shocked and quickly asked distressedly, "What happened? Why are you crying?" ."

Li Teng and his brothers also gathered around and chatted with each other, looking at their wives (husbands) from time to time.

The daughters-in-law (sons-in-law) knew what was going on, but their father-in-law didn't say anything and they didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, the village chief's husband didn't want to make Village Chief Li anxious, so he directly told what happened to Li Mo, and finally choked with sobs and said, "Although our Brother Mo is wrong in this matter, they can't do anything about it." It's too cruel. Didn't you see that the corners of Brother Mo's mouth were broken and his clothes were torn out several times. If Er Zhuzi hadn't happened to pass by and saved Brother Mo, Brother Mo wouldn't have known that he was being attacked by them. What a beating."

After the words of the village chief and husband fell, the faces of the brothers from Village Chief Li to Li Teng all turned dark. Li Mo is the youngest brother in the family. When he was born, he was the youngest at that time. Li Si is already seven or eight years old, and Li Teng is more than ten years old. It's not an exaggeration to say that Li Mo is an old man, so even a little brother has grown up being pampered. How can he not be angry when he hears that his old son (younger brother) is being bullied like this?

"I'll go find them." Li Er, the most ill-tempered of the four brothers, was about to rush to the homes of the women who had bullied Li Mo to vent his anger on Li Mo.

"Stop, you're just a man looking for trouble with a group of women. Do you still want to hang out in the village?" Li Teng grabbed Li Er and said angrily.

"Then forget it." Li Er calmed down and realized that his behavior just now was too reckless, but he just couldn't get angry.

"Of course we can't just forget it. If we can't settle accounts with women, why don't we settle accounts with their men? I don't want to come forward in this matter, lest people say that I, the village chief, only cares about my own family. Li Teng, what are you bringing? My younger brother went to the heads of those women and had a good talk, husband, do you know which women bullied Brother Mo???" Village Chief Li said, looking at the village chief and his husband, and asked.

"I know, I already asked Brother Mo just now." The village chief husband said, naming the people who had bullied Li Mo one by one.

Li Teng took his younger brothers to find a "manager", while Village Chief Li took a chicken prepared by the village chief's husband to the Lin family to express his gratitude. Of course, he didn't forget to go to his old son's room to see his old son before going there. Li Mo had already tidied up again, but the scars on the corners of his mouth and the bruises on his face were still very obvious, which made Village Chief Li feel angry. Burning, if it weren't for the fact that he was the village leader, he would have wanted to do it himself.

When Lin Erzhu went home, he did not tell his family that he had rescued Li Mo, so when Village Chief Li came to the door with chickens, the Lin family were very surprised.

They were also very surprised to know that Lin Erzhu saved Li Molin's family, but they unanimously rejected the offer brought by Village Chief Li.

"Uncle Li, our family has troubled you a lot in the past. The smooth settlement of Brother Qin's matter was all thanks to you. And Erzhuzi also said just now that the reason why Brother Mo was bullied was also to bring trouble to our family. Brother Qin came forward, wouldn't it be embarrassing for us if we still accepted your chicken?" Lin Dazhu said.

"Dazhuzi is right, Brother Li, put this chicken away quickly, we won't take it away." Lin Han waved his hand and said.

Lin Qin was more concerned about Li Mo's condition and asked anxiously, "Brother Li Shumo, are you okay???" "Fortunately

, there's nothing serious about him. He just ruined a piece of clothing and suffered a little injury on his face." Village Chief Li said.

When Lin Qin heard that Li Mo was injured, he was very anxious. He told Lin Han to go see Li Mo and left in a hurry.

No matter what Village Chief Li said, the Lin family refused to accept it, so Village Chief Li had no choice but to bring it back anyway, just thinking about taking more care of the Lin family in the future.

When Village Chief Li returned home, Lin Qinzheng and Li Mo were chatting in the room. Li Teng and his brothers had also returned, and were telling the village chief and his husband how they had just "taught" those brothers A woman is the head of the family.

The village chief and his husband were relieved after hearing this. Those women would definitely not dare to tell their men that they had bullied Li Mo when they returned home. Now not only was Li Teng stabbed in front of their men, but he also made their men eat a meal. No matter how good-tempered the man was, he would get angry, not to mention that all the men in the countryside had bad tempers.

"Teng'er, in the evening you go beat the gong and ask everyone to gather at the big banyan tree. I'm going to hold a meeting." Village Chief Li was also relieved, but he was more concerned about another thing.

Li Teng agreed at first, and then asked doubtfully, "Father, it's not such a big deal, why do we need to hold a conference???"

"It's nothing serious. There are various rumors in the village about Brother Qin. If this rumor is not suppressed, we don't know what it will be like in the future. What if it accidentally spreads to other villages? , then others will think that the young men in our village deliberately cheated on marriages for money, and then the girls and young men in our village will not want to get married." Village Chief Li said angrily.

Li Teng had really not thought about it so much before. Hearing this, he sincerely complimented, "Father, you are so far-fetched that I didn't even think of this."

Village Chief Li felt so comfortable after being complimented by Li Teng that he nodded and said, "Boy, you There is still more to learn." The position of village chief is basically assigned by the previous village chief. Village Chief Li naturally hopes that the next village chief will still be from his family, so he always trains his eldest son Li Teng.

Lin Qin chatted with Li Mo all afternoon. During this period, Li Mo would ask Lin Qin about Lin Erzhu from time to time. At first, Lin Qin only thought that because Lin Erzhu saved Li Mo, Li Mo wanted to know Lin Erzhu's preferences. Thank you. he. But the more Li Mo asked, Lin Qin felt that something was wrong. Even if he wanted to thank him, he didn't need to ask so carefully. He thought that Li Mo wouldn't fall in love with Lin Erzhu just because he saved the beauty this time.

Although Lin Qin was a little suspicious, he didn't ask any more questions. Li Mo was so shy that if Lin Qin really asked, Li Mo would have to dare not see him for several days. But thinking about Lin Erzhu and Li Mo, Lin Qin said why he never thought of pairing them together before. One is his second brother and the other is his best friend. It makes him happy just thinking about it. However, Lin Qin also knew that with the Lin family's previous conditions, they did not dare to ask for a younger brother from the village chief's family. The conditions were too unmatched.

In the evening, Li Teng took the gong at home and knocked on the door of each house, notifying all the villagers to go to the big hall for a meeting.

The villagers were a little confused, wondering why the good village chief suddenly wanted to hold a meeting. The women who had just had a fight with Li Mo in the morning were a little panicked, wondering if the village chief wanted to attack them in front of all the villagers. Bar. Thinking about the fact that they had already been severely punished by their men because of this incident in the morning, if they were punished again in front of the villagers and the men lost face, the women became more and more frightened.

Village Chief Li didn't know what those women were thinking. After everyone arrived, Village Chief Li said loudly, "I called everyone here today because of the matter of Brother Qin. I know that there are many people in the village recently." It is said that the Lin family chose to get engaged because of money, knowing that Li Jie had a lover outside, and even caused a few quarrels over it." Many

villagers in the village are not aware of this rumor, but now many people are worried after hearing what the village chief said. There was a discussion below. Of course, most people still didn't believe it. They all felt that the Lin family could not be that kind of people.

Seeing that most of the villagers didn't believe it, Village Chief Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know some of you may say that I am making a fuss out of a molehill to hold a meeting just for such a trivial matter, but I really am not making a fuss out of a molehill. Regarding Brother Qin's matter, I I knew you had been talking about it, and I didn't want to take care of it, but I didn't expect that the rumors would become like this in just a few days. If I didn't ignore them, I don't know what the news would be like in a few days. What if the news spread out of the village? If other villages find out, the boys and girls in our village will have to get married."

The villagers didn't take it to heart at first, just as the village chief said, they thought he was making a fuss, but after listening After Village Chief Li's words, everyone's expressions changed a little. Who doesn't have a girl and a brother? If the news really spreads and affects the marriage of their brother and the girl, thinking of this, they all glared at the women and husbands who usually like to gossip the most. .
