After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 240 The Mo Family Conflict Erupts
Gao Zhi carefully recalled everything that had happened. It seemed that things started to change when they were fighting with Dongmen Village for water. Dongmen Village was getting better and better, while they were getting worse and worse. And Xiong Kai and the Mo family were more or less involved in all of these things.

"They're all jinxes, troublemakers!" Gao Zhi cursed angrily, slamming a stool down.

Liu was startled and quickly stepped aside. "Old man, don't be angry. When you have time, go to the Mo family and have a good talk with Mo Laotian. Just because his family is having a hard time doesn't mean it will affect other families! If you keep making a scene like this, the neighbors will start to complain. If things get out of hand, you'll be the one to settle things."

"How could I be such a useless village chief!" Gao Zhi cursed angrily and strode away.

When he arrived at the Mo family's house, he found the courtyard so crowded with villagers who had come to watch the spectacle that there wasn't even room to put his feet down. Enraged, he roared again, "What are you all doing idly here? Have you finished all the work in the fields? Do you think Old Man Mo will give you any money?"

The villagers turned around and, seeing the village chief's gloomy face, quickly dispersed.

Once there were no outsiders in the courtyard, Guan immediately rushed forward, sobbing, and grabbed Gao Zhi's arm. "Village chief, what a misfortune for my family! You have to stand up for me! My two ill-mannered daughters-in-law are practically defecating and pissing on my head. If I were ever unable to move, they would have thrown me into the back mountain! You have to be my judge!"

Mo Dali's wife, Huang, with her hair disheveled, retorted loudly, "Village chief, my mother-in-law is a traitor! She does no work, yet she squanders the money we work so hard to earn! There's no justice in this world! If my mother-in-law doesn't give us an explanation today, we can't live like this anymore!"

Huang clenched her fists and stomped her feet angrily to vent her extreme dissatisfaction.

Chen, Mo Erli's wife, chimed in, "Sister-in-law is right. If we don't get this straight today, we're not going to live together anymore. We'll just be divorced! If your Mo family has the guts, then divorce both of us! Let the villagers see how you mistreat your daughter-in-law! I'm going to go to the town and the county to speak on your behalf, and make your Mo family infamous!"

The village chief's face darkened upon hearing this, and he had no choice but to suppress his anger and try to appease Chen Shi, "Erli's family, we're all one family, it's not that serious. If you have any complaints, just say so. I'm here today, and I'll make sure to sort out all these messy things in your family clearly. I promise, I won't be biased. If you don't trust me, just bring all the village elders here, and let them all be witnesses, okay?"

Old Mo panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Village Chief, these are just small matters for our family, how could we bother the village elders! No need, no need, we can handle it ourselves."

"I disagree with handling this myself!" Huang was extremely agitated, glaring angrily at Mo Dali. "Tell me! What kind of logic is this, with your sister turning our family into such a mess? What am I to your Mo family? Are you on their side or mine? If you choose them today, I'll go back to my parents' home immediately, and we'll never see each other again!"

Mo Dali originally intended to reprimand Huang Shi as before to demonstrate his status as a husband, but when he met Huang Shi's resolute gaze, he panicked instantly and stammered, "Wife, we are a family, of course I will stay with you! We also have children, calm down."

"I can't calm down at all!" Huang roared wildly, "From now on, this family will have Mo Chunxiang but not me, and me but not her!"

"Yes! I agree with my sister-in-law. You have to make a decision now! Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go and ask the village elder." Ignoring the children's attempts to stop her, Chen rushed out without a care in the world.

Mo Laotian's face was particularly grim, but he dared not make any rash moves in front of the village chief.

Guan sat on the ground like a shrew and began to wail, "Waaah, heavens! Why don't you just strike me dead! What's the point of living like this? I just want my daughter to have a better life, but those vicious people keep shouting to kill me. You might as well just kill me! I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore!" Mo Dali was exasperated. As long as Guan used this tactic, they would be helpless.

The village chief watched this scene with a sense of normalcy, picked up a stool and sat down, saying coolly, "Dali, divorce your wife."

"Village Chief!" Mo Dali stared at Gao Zhi in astonishment, shaking his head frantically.

"No, I can't divorce my wife. My children can't be without a mother, and I can't be without a wife!" Mo Dali answered without the slightest hesitation.

Gao Zhi sneered, "If you don't divorce your wife, you'll be forcing your mother to her death. Can you bear that crime? Listen to your uncle, divorce your wife and let her go."

"Why?! Why should my son divorce the wife we ​​paid for?" Guan jumped up from the ground, shouting excitedly.

Gao Zhi scoffed, "Why? Because they're in the right! Because they're reasonable! Guan, your old-fashioned trick won't work on me. I just want the village to be peaceful. Your family has caused trouble time and time again, and I've had enough. Don't force me to kick your whole family out of Ximen Village!"

Seeing Gao Zhi's serious expression, Mo Laotian knew he was serious. He didn't dare to be a coward any longer, so he stepped forward and pulled Guan Shi away, smiling ingratiatingly, "Village Chief, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I promise that our family will be quiet from now on and will definitely not cause any more trouble."

"Get out of here! I don't believe your guarantee!" Gao Zhi didn't give Mo Laotian any face at all, and instead scolded him sternly, "You ignorant fool, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. To put it bluntly, even if your daughter really becomes a widow, there is no reason for her to stay at home and eat and drink for free!"

Not to mention her husband is still alive and well. Outsiders would spit on a woman who abandons her husband and children, and only you two idiots treat her like a treasure! To ruin your son's peaceful life for such a scumbag, I think you've really lost your minds!

Old Mo felt wronged. "Village chief, Chunxiang is innocent too! She's been pampered since she was little and has never suffered any hardship."

Gao Zhi angrily interrupted his sophistry, "If she hasn't suffered, let her eat her fill! Besides, what did she eat at the Xiong family's house and cry about? Did her mother-in-law mistreat her? Or did she not even have a bite to eat at home? Or is she an orphan with no one to rely on?"

Mo Laotian couldn't answer a single question.

Huang said sarcastically, "Village chief, you misunderstood my father-in-law's words about suffering. To them, my sister-in-law should never lift a finger, be waited on hand and foot, wear gold and silver, and be served by others. Making my sister-in-law do any work is considered making her suffer."

"What nonsense are you spouting, eldest brother?" Old Mo retorted, his face flushed, but he seemed guilty and lacked confidence.
