Auntie Sun refused to help him clarify, and Mo Xiaoqiang was helpless against her.

He stood up from the ground, and seeing the mess Butcher Yu had made of the house made him even more furious. He roared at Auntie Sun again, “Look at this mess, all because of you, you wretched woman! Go clean up right now. When father and mother come back from the wedding banquet tomorrow, you’ll see what’s coming to you.”

Mo Xiaoqiang thought Auntie Sun would be like Madam Xie, who would endure even to her death and submit to her husband.

But he was wrong. Auntie Sun had been out in the world for several years and had met all kinds of people. She was someone who never let herself be taken advantage of.

Upon hearing Mo Xiaoqiang’s words, her eyes widened in disbelief, “Husband, my arm was broken by your daughter, and not only do you not help me find a doctor, but you also expect me to do heavy work? Do you even have a conscience? Do you treat me as your wife, or as a servant?”

“That’s what you deserve.”

...

As the two were arguing, a loud banging sound came from the front door: “Open up, open up! Bang, bang, bang…!”

“Who is it?”

Mo Xiaoqiang, already vexed to distraction, yelled out.

“Mo Xiaoqiang, have you eaten the courage of Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Gall? The village head is here, and not only do you not open the door, you also dare to be fierce?” a voice came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang’s face turned pale, realizing that tonight’s events must have reached the village head’s ears.

“You… you… you wretched woman, look at this mess you’ve caused. In a moment, you’ll need to explain to the village head that it was all your idea and has nothing to do with me.”

“Hmm! Alright then.”

Mo Xiaoqiang was so anxious that he was pacing back and forth. He didn’t notice Auntie Sun’s shifty eyes and insincere response. Upon hearing her agreement, he confidently went out to open the door.

“Creak!”

Mo Xiaoqiang opened the door with both hands, putting on a forced smile: “Ha ha… Village head, it’s dark and you’re here, what brings you by?”

“Nice one, Mo Xiaoqiang, knowing full well the village head is coming, yet you drag your feet and don’t come out to open the door. Are you and your wife figuring out how to sell your daughter again?” a young man next to the village head said tauntingly.

The village head had come over tonight because this young man had reported to him. Tonight, at the doorway of Mo Family Ancestral Home, after hearing Chuner’s words, he was very disdainful of the conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Mo Xiaoqiang. Angered, he had gone to the Village Chief’s House and reported the matter to the village head.

The village head was shocked. Although Mo Family Village was not wealthy, they were not so poor as to resort to selling their children. If the higher authorities came to know of such a grave matter happening in Mo Family Village, which he governed, he feared his tenure as village head might end there.

So, he rushed over immediately with the young man.

“Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Mo Xiaoqiang said as he invited the village head inside.

Entering the house and seeing the destruction, where even the stools were almost entirely smashed, there was hardly a place to sit.

“Xiaoqiang, is this also a misunderstanding?” the village head’s sharp gaze scrutinized him.

“This…”

Mo Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, having forgotten in his haste that the house was not fit for visitors and yet he had invited the village head inside.

Mo Xiaoqiang said, “It’s all this wretched woman’s fault; she took Silver from someone without telling me and even invited Butcher Yu back home. Xuexue, that girl, is stubborn and wouldn’t agree to the marriage, so…”
