Chapter 128 Zhao Xiaoya Asks for Help 128
Chief Li's face darkened, "Chief Zhang, the people in your village are really looking up to the sky, can't they look around?
This is my cousin, and he is also a scholar who passed the imperial examination this year. Don’t I have the right to take care of him?”

Patriarch Zhang's face became even uglier. Even the scholar had come.

How could he not know about the scholar Li Yunshan? He was the first scholar in their area within a hundred miles, and he happened to come from Lijia Village. No wonder Lijia Village dared to be so tough today.

Although Li Yunshan is only in his 20s, he has a high seniority in Lijia Village. He is not only the younger brother of the Li clan leader, but also the great-uncle of most people in Lijia Village.

"So it's the scholar who's here. Why don't we go to his house and sit for a while?"

Patriarch Zhang knew that he couldn't fool people this time, so he thought about whether he could invite the person to his home, beg for mercy, and give some benefits to get the matter done.

Li Yunshan shook his head, "Today, I am just a member of the clan, seeking justice for my descendants.

I just don't know if I am qualified to speak here at my age. "

Old Man Zhang lowered his head and quietly stepped back a few steps. The clan leader's eyes were so terrifying that he was afraid that he wanted to kill him.

He also remembered who this person was. Not to mention his status as a scholar, just based on his seniority, if he offended him, he would be directly making enemies with the entire Lijia Village. But he was not on the same level as an insignificant guy like Li Dashi.

Damn it, he should have let that woman come over just now. Now he is really in a dilemma.

"Old man Zhang," Patriarch Zhang also thought of the key person, "Why didn't the widow come?"

"Clan leader, she is not a widow," Old Man Zhang's face turned pale. Why did everyone hope that Zhang Cheng would continue to be a widow?
"Then go and call your wife. This matter is also caused by her. Your whole family must be present." She is not a widow now, but wasn't she before? I really don't understand why this old man Zhang is entangled in this?
Seeing that the Zhang family father and son did not move, the Zhang clan leader directly pointed to a woman who was watching the fun, "Go and call that woman over, and tell her that someone from her ex-husband's family is here."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew that Patriarch Zhang had offended the Cheng family. By bringing up the in-laws' family at this time, he was also embarrassing Old Man Zhang.

The old woman usually couldn't stand Cheng's behavior, so she grabbed the other two old women who were watching the fun and said, "Come on, let's go together, so that Cheng won't believe me."

Zhang Datou wanted to leave quietly, but he was blocked by someone after taking a few steps back. "Datou, where do you want to go? The matter has not been resolved yet."

Several young guys surrounded him, all with malicious smiles on their faces.

We are all peasants, but you, Zhang Datou, are lucky. Your mother planned to use her first son to work as a farmhand for this boy.

This kid is living a very enjoyable life. We have long disliked him. How can we let him leave when we have this rare opportunity to ridicule him?

"I have to pee urgently, let me go to the side." Zhang Datou just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Even the clan leader didn't help him, so it would be embarrassing to stay here.

"I have to pee urgently," one of the young men said immediately, "I also want to go, so let's go together."

"Then let's all go. Uncle Aben's cowshed is in front. Let's go there."

The closest thing is there, where there is some shelter, and it’s not far away.

Zhang Datou wanted to turn hostile, but he held back. At this point in time, he couldn't afford to cause any more trouble, so he had no choice but to go with them.

When they came back, Zhang Cheng was surrounded by several women, pushing herself forward. "What does this village matter have to do with me? Didn't my old man pass away?" Zhang Cheng looked unwilling. She hid at home only after hearing the rumors.

She knew how much trouble the remarriage had caused back then.

Now when I see the Li family, I still feel a little guilty.

If Li Dashi had not moved to the middle of the mountain, she would not have dared to go in and out of Li Dashi's house so frequently.

This damn ungrateful guy came back and just listened to his wife's one-sided story. He is going to report everything to Patriarch Li.

Seeing them coming, the onlookers consciously made way for them, and Zhang Cheng was pushed to the front.

"Clan leader, uncles, brothers..." The inverted triangle of Zhang Cheng's family all lowered their brows and looked submissive.

"Oh, isn't this my ex-nephew's wife? I haven't seen her for many years. She has aged so much." Patriarch Li looked at the old woman in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this Cheng was one of the prettiest girls in the area within a hundred miles. Otherwise, she would not have been seduced away by old man Zhang as soon as she became a widow.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years. How come he has become like this? He looks old and mean. It really proves that appearance is determined by the heart.

Zhang Cheng stood behind Old Man Zhang. Now only Old Man Zhang and the people of Zhangjia Village could protect her.

“Now that everyone is here, Cheng, please tell us what you think?

When you remarried, you took away all of Dashi's support and said that you severed the relationship between mother and son. Not only our village, but many elders in your village also witnessed it. How many years have passed, and you have completely forgotten it?"

Chief Zhang was complaining in his heart. Chief Li was about to start again. After today, their village would definitely have a bad reputation.

But they were not in the right in this matter. He glared at Old Man Zhang fiercely. Even if you wanted to exploit your stepson, you should at least know the limit. You were forcing someone else's wife and children to death. Any man with a bit of blood in his veins would not tolerate this.

"He is my son," Cheng said bitterly after being pushed out by Old Man Zhang again, "As a mother, can't I care about my son?"

But in his heart he cursed, "What a busybody."

Li Yunshan looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "What were you doing in those early years? Dashi was begging for food in the village. Why didn't you, as his mother, step in to help him?

"It's not easy for the child to learn some hunting skills and support himself. How did you do it as a mother? You must have taken a lot of things from Dashi in these years, right?"

"That was given to me by my son as a gift of filial piety," said Zhang Cheng, feeling somewhat guilty. It was Zhang Dashi who gave it to me on his own initiative during festivals, and at other times he would go to my house to get it directly, or ask for it directly.

"That's not what we heard," Chief Li stared at Cheng Zhang coldly, "Even if you see that the child is honest, you can just come and rob him or take him away. If we follow what we agreed on back then, you will have nothing to do with our Li Village and Dashi anymore.

You have taken a lot of things over the years, I hope you will return them all honestly."

"How is this possible?" Cheng Zhang no longer lowered her head and stared at everyone with a harsh look on her face. "I've already said that Li Dashi gave me this as a gift. I gave birth to him and raised him, so shouldn't I be able to take his things?"

If we really want to settle the accounts, how can we count them? Besides, most of the prey was taken to the town by the old man to sell, and a small part went into their stomachs.
