Chapter 8 Village Chief Jiang’s Weighing
Li Peilan was young and had a sour look on his face. He just howled without a single tear. On the contrary, Jiang Miao cried very sadly and still had so many injuries on her body.

Obviously the latter is more distressing.

Everyone who had been talking about the brother and sister looked at each other tacitly.

"This is the villain who filed the complaint first. Look at how these two children were beaten."

"I've long heard that Yongguo's wife is mean, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious. She is her nephew and niece after all, and she actually wants to beat her to death."

"Ah Miao was so fair and fair before being raised by Jiang Qian's mother, but now she is as thin as a bean sprout. What a sin."

Seeing the villagers' cries of oppression getting louder and louder, Jiang Miao seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels and knew what to do without having to learn.

"Mom and dad, A Miao misses you so much, woo woo woo..."

Luo Tingye's handsome face curved slightly, and his handsome eyes were full of interest. He couldn't tell that this silly girl was talented in acting. If she brought him back, she would definitely be entertained.

At this time, the patriarch of the Jiang family and the head of the village came forward. Seeing this scene, he scolded with a stern face, "Jiang Yongguo, look what kind of wife you married. She is crying in front of so many people." Heaven and earth shout, and I don’t know how to be ashamed.”

Jiang Qian frowned. The village chief's words were obviously scolding Li Peilan, but in fact he also scolded A Miao.

Jiang Yongguo originally wanted to pretend to be dead, but when he raised his eyelids, he discovered that the other party was the clan leader and village chief. He immediately did not dare to pretend anymore and stood up politely, "Uncle Village Chief."

It doesn't look like he's injured at all.

Village Chief Jiang's face turned darker. He was not angry that he was cruel, but angry that he was stupid and couldn't even pretend.

He pointed at Jiang Yongguo's nose and cursed him, and even Li Peilan didn't move away.

When he looked at the Jiang brothers and sisters, his tone was still not very good, "If you have something to say, you can't say it properly, and you have to cry and make people laugh. If people from other villages see this, they will think that everyone in our village is like this." ."

Village Chief Jiang is very prestigious and senior in the village. Not only Jiang Yongguo is afraid of him, but Jiang Miao is also a little afraid, "Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, Amiao, I know I am wrong."

Village Chief Jiang glared at Li Peilan. He felt that the upper beam was out of alignment and the lower beam was crooked. Amiao used to be a very sensible and considerate girl, but now she has learned to behave in a bad way. Li Peilan must have led her into trouble.

"Okay, it's all over now."

Jiang Miao nodded, but was pulled back by Jiang Qian, who looked at the village chief.

Village Chief Jiang frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He thought for a moment and asked Jiang Miao, "How did you get these injuries on your body?"

"The second aunt was the one who beat me. The second aunt wanted me to marry Zhang Laosan in exchange for half a bag of noodles, so the second aunt beat me."

"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously you..." Li Peilan opened her mouth to speak.

"Shut up." Village Chief Jiang scolded her sternly.

When Li Peilan heard this, she immediately didn't dare to speak. She hid behind Jiang Yongguo and pinched him hard, "You should say something!"

Jiang Yongguo grimaced in pain but did not dare to speak.

Village Chief Jiang asked keenly, "Isn't this thing over? Why did she hit you today?"

"..."

Jiang Miao thought he had discovered it, and was suddenly speechless.Jiang Qian heard what the village chief meant. He had known for a long time that Li Peilan wanted to sell the ginger seedlings but had ignored it. Now he needed a reason to want him to take care of it.

Or maybe there is something he likes.

Jiang Qian wanted to understand this and used Jiang Miao's body to bow.

Only then did Village Chief Jiang remember his identity as a scholar, and the balance in his heart suddenly tilted a little.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people studying in the village, and those who studied in the past few years have not made a name for themselves. The person who did best in the past was Jiang Qian, but his legs were disabled again.

He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, but today he saw a different Jiang Qian.

"Ah Miao was a bit feverish. I wanted to lend her two eggs to replenish her body, but I didn't want my uncle and aunt to beat me up. They probably thought that if I died, Ah Miao would be able to marry Zhang Laosan. .”

After he finished speaking, he added, "If I die, my second uncle and my second aunt will be able to occupy the Jiang family's house."

"You little bastard, what are you talking about? The house belongs to me."

Jiang Yongguo's eyes were splitting, and he wanted to eat Jiang Qian. The house was originally his, and Jiang Qian was unfilial to miss the house.

Jiang Yongguo regretted, why didn't he just beat him to death harder?
This sentence reminded the village chief and the people in the village.

The Jiang family's house was built when Jiang Qian's father was still alive. Logically speaking, after his father died, the house should fall on Jiang Qian's head. At first, Jiang Yongguo and his wife said they moved here to take care of their brother and sister. Now it seems obvious that he just wants to occupy the magpie's nest.

The innocent villagers lamented the cruelty of this couple.

To be so unscrupulous for the sake of the house.

But no one stood up. After all, Jiang Yongguo was still young, and Jiang Qian, a brother and sister, one was weak and the other was physically disabled, so they had no chance of winning.

Li Peilan even pointed at her nose and cursed: "The house belongs to the Jiang family. Your father is no longer here, and the house belongs to your second uncle."

This was what Jiang Qian was waiting for, and he said meaningfully, "The rule of the Huns is that brothers are brothers. There is no such rule in the Central Plains. People who didn't know about it thought there was a foreign spy in Hewan Village."

Village Chief Jiang, who originally didn't want to care about it, had an unprecedented serious expression on his face: "I don't know where I heard it from, but I dare to talk nonsense. We in the Jiang family don't have such rules. I don't know where I came from." Where did you hear these messy rules? If you are talking nonsense, I will open an ancestral hall and ask Jiang Yongguo to divorce you."

Li Peilan hid behind Jiang Yongguo, not daring to show his face.

Jiang Qian saluted again, "The village chief's grandpa also saw it. The second uncle and the second aunt were only thinking about brotherhood and brotherhood. Someone happened to show up today and saved us brothers and sisters. If we live in the same room again, I'm afraid we won't see each other tomorrow." The corpses are those of our brother and sister. Please, please save us, for the sake of being members of the general clan."

Jiang Miao looked at her eldest brother with admiration. Suddenly something hit her calf, and tears burst out of her eyes. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, "Grandpa Patriarch, please save us!"

The villagers also interceded, mainly because the two children were so pitiful.

Village Chief Jiang had some expectations for Jiang Qiansheng, thinking that the child had become decadent. It was good that he could stand up today.

Hewan Village needs young people like this.

"Yongguo, Li, Jiang Qian's legs are bad, but he is still a child of the Jiang family. No matter what the reason is, you can't ruin the children of the Jiang family like this. Is this worthy of your elder brother?"
