Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 51 - Village Head

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Village Head

The village head, around fifty years old, of average height and lean, was dressed in a blue cloth outfit and looked very spirited. His face darkened and his eyes glared as he said to Old Lady Mo, “Auntie, I heard you severely injured Chuner?”

“Hehe…, that’s not true, village head. I’m very kind-hearted, don’t listen to that nasty old maid’s nonsense,” Old Lady Mo said with a sheepish laugh, while also taking the opportunity to glare fiercely at Madam Xie.

It was all the fault of that meddlesome old maid for actually alarming the village head and causing him displeasure. Once the village head left, she would surely punish her severely, thinking bitterly in her heart about whether she would dare to defy her again.

“Hmph! Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once Doctor Xu has a look,” the village head snorted coldly.

Old Lady Mo often bullied her eldest daughter-in-law, which he knew about, yet Madam Xie was so virtuous and had never complained about her, so he didn’t feel it was right to interfere in family matters.

Today, if Madam Xie were not driven to desperation, she would definitely not have come to him, and the village head knew it was impossible not to intervene.

...

“Doctor Xu, Chuner is lying in the room, please go check on her quickly,” Madam Xie urged, her hands anxiously wringing together, afraid that Old Lady Mo would stop the doctor from entering to treat Chuner.

“Alright, I will go have a look,” Doctor said.

Doctor Xu, who was carrying a medicine chest, was an old man past the age of fifty. He bowed to the village head and followed Madam Xie to their thatched hut.

“Hurry on, Doctor Xu,” the village head called out and stepped forward to follow and have a look himself.

Old Lady Mo quickly blocked him and said with a smile, “Village head, why enter those filthy places? Why not come inside the main hall and have some tea?”

“Auntie, your granddaughter is barely clinging to life after you beat her, and you’re in the mood for tea?” The old woman’s attitude was outrageous, increasing the village head’s dissatisfaction with Old Lady Mo.

Old Lady Mo’s face stiffened momentarily, then she smiled again and said, “Children being disobedient and getting beaten happens in every household. It’s just that Madam Xie is making a mountain out of a molehill, village head, please don’t take it against me.”

The village head’s expression darkened even further as he said coldly, “In other homes, they only scold lightly, but you, you beat her nearly to death. Chuner is still so young, what kind of grandmother are you? This is utterly disgraceful.”

Having said that, he turned and followed Doctor Xu without looking back, going to check on Chuner.

“This…,”

Old Lady Mo’s face turned a mix of colors, gloomy and severe. She turned her head and glared fiercely at Mo Xiaoqiang, gritting her teeth as she said, “Qiangqiang, look at your wife. She can’t produce a son, yet she dares to fetch the village head to suppress me.”

“Husband, this time your sister really went too far. She shouldn’t let our mother-in-law lose face in front of the village head,” Auntie Sun added fuel to the fire whenever she could.

“Qiangqiang, listen to your mother, divorce that barren old maid,” spurred on by Auntie Sun, Old Lady Mo became even angrier.

“Mother, isn’t that a bit much?”

Mo Xiaoqiang hesitated. Although Madam Xie hadn’t borne a son, she had given him three daughters. He had just taken a concubine and now to divorce his legal wife might cause the neighbors to criticize him behind his back for being fickle.

“What’s so bad about it? Since she can’t produce offspring, just divorce her. Besides, you now have Auntie Sun. What need do you have for that foul old maid?” Old Lady Mo said with ruthless finality.

Actually, this plan had been in her mind for a long time. Driving Madam Xie away would mean Xuexue and Chuner would also leave, instantly reducing the Mo family’s mouths to feed by three. Just thinking about it made Old Lady Mo happy.

Upon hearing this, Auntie Sun was overjoyed internally, amazed that just a few words had led to the demotion of the legal wife.
