"Ahhh!!!" The screams from the Wang family seemed to tear through the sky. Their faces turned pale, and they hastily ran away.
Wang Laoda and Wang Laoer shouted at Wang Wei to stay calm while dragging their father and mother in a panicked escape.
Xiao Xiao was initially worried that Wang Wei might actually harm someone, but when she saw that he was just closely trailing behind the Wang family members, she felt relieved. With his speed, he could have caught up and done harm if he wanted to.
The Wang family members were chased with terrified screams, and Wang Wei, holding the firewood cutting knife, pursued them closely, his face filled with an aura of a vengeful spirit.
The villagers from the nearby Xiaoqian Village were alarmed by the commotion and gathered to watch. Witnessing Wang Wei brandishing the knife, they were frightened but reluctant to interfere, only offering advice from the sidelines. No one dared to step forward and stop him.
At this moment, Wang Desheng walked out and stood in front of Wang Wei. "Kid, put down the knife. If you really harm someone, you'll be caught too. Listen to me, you're a good kid. No matter what happens, they are still your parents. Endure it..."
Wang Wei's eyes of madness seemed to calm slightly upon hearing Wang Desheng's words. Seeing it was Wang Desheng, he stopped in his tracks.
The Wang family members, relieved that Wang Wei was restrained, had a sense of gratitude towards Wang Desheng. Wang Fu, who had been chased halfway across the village by Wang Wei, had long lost his tobacco pipe, and his hands were shaking. He felt wronged; after all, his daughter-in-law had given the worker quota to her sister from her natal family. Such a significant matter, as the in-laws, they should at least have the right to ask a few questions.
So, he complained to Wang Desheng, "Captain, he's my son, but I can't control him. His wife didn't say a word and gave the worker quota to her sister from her natal family. It's such a big deal, can't we at least ask a few questions? This rascal chased us with a knife, almost killing our entire family!"
"Didn't we had no relationship anymore? Didn't you all agree to that back then? Since we have no relations, why do you care about who my wife gives the worker's quota to? If you're asking me for the worker's quota, ask yourselves first, do you have the face for it?" Wang Wei pushed Wang Desheng aside and looked at Wang's father with immense sarcasm.
"Ahh!!!" The Wang family's screams echoed through the village once again. Wang Wei, driven to madness, raised the knife again and rushed towards them like a ferocious wolf.
The Wang family members, realizing that their attempts at reasoning had only angered Wang Wei further, scattered in fear. The villagers, watching from a distance, were horrified by the unfolding scene.
Wang Desheng hurriedly stepped forward, trying to calm Wang Wei down. "Wang Wei, calm down! Violence is not the solution. Put down the knife; we can talk things through."
However, Wang Wei seemed beyond reason, and his eyes were filled with a deep hatred. He swung the knife wildly, forcing the Wang family to run in different directions.
The scene was chaotic, with shouts, screams, and the menacing figure of Wang Wei brandishing the knife. The villagers, witnessing the violent outburst, were torn between fear and a sense of helplessness.
At that critical moment, a sudden loud voice echoed through the chaos. "Stop!"
Everyone turned to see an authoritative figure striding forward. It was Chen Hu, the village head.
Chen Hu approached Wang Wei with a stern expression. "Wang Wei, put down the knife immediately! Violence will only lead to more trouble."
Wang Wei, momentarily startled by the village head's presence, hesitated. Chen Hu seized the opportunity to speak further. "If you have any grievances or conflicts, bring them to the village council. We'll solve the issue through proper channels. But violence is strictly forbidden in our village."
