Sickly Peasant Girl: General, I'm In Charge!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Carrying bags in the county town was really tiring. It’s a job no one wanted to do unless they had no other choices. Dashu was barely providing for his family, and now he’s got two kids who were sick from getting beaten up. And where was he going to get money for doctor and medicine?

Chen Xiaosang paused for a while and then continued, “Auntie was the one who injured my nephews, so Auntie should pay for the treatment. You can’t just bully our family like this!”

The more everyone listened, the more they felt that Chen Xiaosang was making a lot of sense. They all glared at Mrs. Qian.

“The Qingshan family has to fork out money!”

“Pay up! He had to fork out money for doctor, medicine, and food!”

Mrs. Qian was starting sense that the crowd was starting to go against her. She said stubbornly, “Why is it my family that’s paying? Those aren’t my grandkids!”

The people in the courtyard were furious, “You beat them up, so you pay!”

“You beat up a child and refuse to compensate? You’re too shameless!”

The Qian family’s three daughters-in-law were so anxious that they were sweating. The eldest daughter-in-law shouted, “But where are we supposed to get the money?”

“If you don’t have the money, give your family’s big brick house to the Baolai family to pay for it.”

At the mention of the big brick house, none of the three daughters-in-law made a sound. Each of the three brothers had a large brick house. What if they were targeted and their houses were taken away at this time?

Mrs. Qian was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at Mrs. Li’s nose, “Good job, Mrs. Li! So you’re after my house! You black-hearted b * tch, why don’t you go and die?”

What a shameless woman Mrs. Qian was! She had no remorse for beating up children, and now she’s cursing the children’s grandmother? Chen Xiaosang couldn’t stand this. She had to teach her a lesson.

Chen Xiaosang glared at Mrs. Li, then she turned around and hugged Mrs. Li’s leg, trembling, “I don’t want to go out, Mother. I’m afraid that I’ll be beaten by Auntie. We don’t have the money for doctors, so I’m just going to tell my friends to not go out and play.”

Mrs. Li tried to suppress her anger and comforted Chen Xiaosang softly,” Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Mother won’t let her hit you.”

Chen Xiaosang shook her head, “Mother has to work! You can’t just watch over me all day…”

The villagers all felt fear in their hearts and looked at Mrs. Qian with vigilance.

It was common for the children in the village to fight. Everyone usually did not care. Even if they were beaten up, they would complain to the elders in the children’s families.

But what if his child fought with the child of Mrs. Qian’s family? Get beaten up by Mrs. Qian again? They couldn’t keep an eye on the children at all times. If they were injured, would they have to pay to treat him?

No, they had to have this matter settled. Otherwise, no one wouldn’t dare to let the children run around anymore.

“Hurry up and get the money!”

“It’s useless to talk to her. Find Chen Qingshan!”

“Yes, ask Chen Qingshan for the money. His wife just beat up two of his grand cousins. There’s no way he’s going to tell us that he doesn’t have money!”

The men were too lazy to argue with Mrs. Qian, so they just rushed towards the house. Mrs. Qian was anxious. She rushed to the door and opened her hands to support the door frame. She shouted, ” The child’s father is not at home.””

“Who are you lying to? I just heard you calling for Chen Qingshan to save your life.”

“It’s so late at night. If he’s not at home, where can he be? Hurry up and move aside. Otherwise, we’ll rush in directly. Don’t blame us if we bump into you.”

Mrs. Qian was afraid, but when she thought of the silver at home, she sat on the threshold and made a fuss, “He is not at home! You can’t enter the house!”

Mrs. Qian’s throat was getting sore from all the arguing she was doing with the villagers, but she was did not dare to move one inch away from the door. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she could not let Qingshan out.

Reputation was everything for men in this village. When it was obvious that Che Qingshan was in the wrong, he could only admit his mistake. Otherwise, no one would want to interact with him.

The woman beside her had already let go of the daughter-in-law and Mrs. Li. They surrounded them and advised them not to be anxious. Chen Xiaosang was in Mrs. Li’s arms, staring at the door.

Chen Qingshan was definitely in the house, but he was not coming out. Mrs. Qian was blocking the door, so the men in the village could not rush in.

Why not urge the women in the courtyard to carry Mrs. Qian away and let the men go in to pull Chen Qingshan out?

If it was a good idea, he had to do it.

Chen Xiaosang made up her mind. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a dignified voice coming from outside the courtyard, “What are you all doing in the courtyard of Qingshan’s house?”

“The village chief is here. Hey, the village chief is here. Stop arguing!”

There was another round of shouting in the courtyard, and everyone quieted down. Everyone turned around and saw that the village chief had already entered the courtyard with Chen Baolai walking beside him.

Chen Xiaosang finally understood that her father had gone to see the village chief. No wonder she hadn’t seen him.

Everyone made way for the the village chief and Old Chen to walk to the door of the house.

When Mrs. Qian saw the village chief, she panicked even more and glared at Chen Baolai.

The village chief stood still in front of the door sill with his hands behind his back. He said to the room, “Qingshan, come out. We have to settle this matter.””

“Qingshan and the children are not at home. If there’s anything, just tell me.”

Chen Bao Lai ignored her. He looked straight into the room and said coldly, “Big Brother, do you want me to invite all the elders in the clan before you’re willing to come out?”

Mrs. Qian was so frightened that her body trembled. She wanted to keep pretending that Qingshan wasn’t here, but her throat was so dry that she could not say anything.

Getting the elders was a serious thing in the village. If Mrs. Qian didn’t respond well, her whole family would lost their place.

The people around them all sucked in a breath of cold air. They knew that this matter had really blown up, and none of them dared to say anything.

Mrs. Li was relieved. She said to Dashu’s wife, ” Your father-in-law has invited the village chief. He will definitely seek justice for us. Let’s just wait in peace.”

Dashu’s wife also stopped crying. She cleaned her nose and responded quietly.

Chen Xiaosang slid down from Mrs. Li’s body and ran to the door with her short legs. She knew her father was being serious as he had both of his hands on his back. She was happy that he was taking this matter seriously, so shedidn’t say much and just stood in the crowd.

He had just finished speaking for a while when there was a sound from inside the room. Chen Qingshan walked to the door.

When Mrs. Qian saw this, she hurriedly pushed him into the room, “What are you doing out here? They’re all waiting for you!”

This damned old man, how could he be so brainless? Why did he still come out at such a time? Wasn’t he waiting to give Chen Baolai money?

Chen Qingshan’s tone towards Mrs. Qian was no longer pleasant, “What are you shouting about? Hurry up and bring out a few stools.”

Mrs. Qian was so angry that her eyes were burning. She knew that she had no other choice. She turned her head and shouted at her three daughters-in-law,Do you all need me to shout before you know how to move? Bring out the stools!”

The three daughters-in-law didn’t dare to talk back, and all of them went back into the house.

“It’s getting late. Go home and rest,” the village chief said to the people in the courtyard.”

Since the village chief had spoken, they could not stay and watch the show. They said their goodbyes and left.

After they left, only Chen Baolai’s and Chen Qingshan’s houses were left in the courtyard. The village chief sat in the middle and asked Mrs. Qian, “Did you hit Dazhu and Erzhu in the head?”

Mrs. Qian glared at Chen Baolai and said, “I hit them twice, yes, but I don’t think Chen Baolai needs to bother the village chief for every little matter. ”

Chen Xiaosang was not going to let Mrs. Qian say whatever she wanted. She was a child, and it was now time for a child to say what other people couldn’t.
