Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

Chapter 158 Verbal Battle

"Going up the mountain again?"

"Do you think the police are a joke?"

"It must be Zhang Wenshan who committed a crime and was arrested."

Under the banyan tree.

Li Yuegang's mother stood on a big rock, jumping up and down and shouting.

"I told you long ago, he was just speculating and profiteering."

"My grandson said he was swindling money under the guise of a fishing and hunting group, but you don't believe him."

"Now look what's happened, the police are here to arrest people, let's see what you have to say now."

Among the crowd, Xu Xiulian and Zhang Fengxia were so angry that their faces turned ashen.

They were staying at home peacefully when they heard that someone was spreading rumors that Zhang Wenshan had been arrested, so they rushed over to clarify the situation.

But Zhao Cuihong completely ignored their words, letting the mother and daughter shout their explanations while she continued to make a scene.

Bystanders, preoccupied with watching the spectacle and stirring up trouble, mistook their explanations for a guilty conscience.

Several voices that spoke up for them were silenced.

Normally, they would have started cursing long ago, but now, for some reason, they just can't bring themselves to say those words.

"Really? Shanzi isn't that kind of person. He just installed a well for our village and helped those in need—"

"What good is that? Speculation is a serious crime, and nobody can change that."

"Wei, what did I tell you? You were going to work with him, and now look what happened."

In the crowd, Feng Jianwei's father had a knowing look on his face as he pointed at his son and scolded him.

"Honest farming is the only way out; getting a job as a factory worker in town is what makes you successful. Doing business? Bah!"

"Just watch, none of those who followed him will escape."

Feng Jianwei's father spat on the ground, his face full of the satisfaction of getting revenge.

The father and son had a major falling out when the father tried to stop his son from joining the fishing and hunting group.

Later, he heard that Zhang Wenshan's family was leading a fishing trip, but he refused to let them go out of spite. As a result, every household had a harvest, but his family was one of the few who got nothing.

Even his wife was starting to waver.

They no longer support his idea of ​​raising his eldest son.

Later, when Li Dong was collecting snails, he didn't take it seriously at first. But the next morning, when he heard that everyone had made money from selling them, he rushed to collect some.

When they tried to deliver it, the recipient refused to accept it.

Now that Li Dong has vanished without a trace and Zhang Wenshan has been arrested by the police, he feels incredibly relieved.

"Old Feng, don't you dare bastard."

A strong, resonant voice rang out from not far away.

Everyone turned around and saw Chunhua helping her mother-in-law, Old Mrs. Wang, arrive.

"My mother is here, don't worry."

Chunhua came to Xu Xiulian and her daughter's side and gave them a reassuring look.

"Mrs. Wang, what's it to you?" When Feng Laonian saw the person who came, he shrank his neck, somewhat intimidated.

"I don't even bother to talk about your family's petty squabbles." Old Mrs. Wang didn't even glance at her, her gaze fixed on Li Yuegang's mother, "Zhao Cuihong, what's the point of bullying the younger generation? Let's have a talk."

Without waiting for the other party's reply.

Mrs. Wang has already launched her attack: "People say that like begets like, and a mouse's son knows how to dig a hole. When you were young..."

"They like to steal other people's things."

"Now my grandson is even more successful."

"Just break the lock on the brigade's warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cuihong immediately flew into a rage: "What utter nonsense! When have I ever looked for anyone's things? It wasn't my grandson who picked the lock!"

"If you say it's not, then it's not."

Mrs. Wang didn't respond at all.

"If it wasn't him, why did Li Dong run away?"

"What's it to you? I'm saying Zhang Wenshan has been arrested by the police."

"I was talking about Li Dong breaking the lock on the brigade's warehouse," Mrs. Wang said with a smile. "I didn't stop you. You say yours, and I'll say mine. It won't interfere with each other."

"Cao—"

"I'm telling you all about Li Dong's cheating at cards."

The conflict between the two escalated rapidly, quickly degenerating into a pure war of insults directed at each other's relatives.

The words used were sharp and sarcastic, and the angle was so unique that it left onlookers stunned.

No one dared to interrupt or try to break up the fight; they could only stand aside, mouths agape, and watch the spectacle.

Meanwhile, the three police officers who were still some distance from the banyan tree were completely dumbfounded.

Little Li and Little Wang had never seen anything like this before.

They had seen arguments in town before, but they always stopped short of each other, as everyone wanted to save face.

Compared to these two old ladies, their arguments were nothing more than children playing house and flirting.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, your village is... quite tough." Cao Zhigang came to his senses, thought for a long time, and finally found a more tactful way to put it, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Logically, one shouldn't just stand by and watch in this situation.

You can go up and manage it.

"An isolated incident." Zhang Wenshan scratched his head, unusually speechless.

He understood Cao Zhigang's concerns.

I don't care, I feel bad for the clothes I'm wearing.

If you try to manage it, you'll most likely get nowhere and only create more trouble for yourself.

He thought for a moment and said, "We can get across from here, so let's not join the crowd."

Cao Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully. He was really afraid that Zhang Wenshan would insist that he explain the situation and clarify right and wrong.

Of all times.

Enraged by the scolding, Zhao Cuihong jumped off the large rock, grabbed a wooden bucket, and threw it forcefully.

"Serves you right for calling me your grandson."

Mrs. Wang is getting old, and even if she sees the other person's movements, she doesn't have time to dodge.

At the crucial moment, Chunhua stepped forward without hesitation.

"stop!"

Cao Zhigang realized something was wrong and rushed over to shout, but it was too late.

Clang!

The wooden bucket hit Chunhua's arm and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Auntie, are you...are you alright?"

"Chunhua, where are you hurt?"

"Zhao Cuihong, I'll kill you—"

With a roar, Mrs. Wang charged forward.

The conflict was escalating.

Cao Zhigang charged straight into the crowd, blocking Old Mrs. Wang who was trying to rush forward, and shouted, "I'm a policeman from the town's police station. If you cause any more trouble, you'll all be detained!"

The moment the words "police station" and "public security" were uttered, the scene seemed to be put on pause.

"Why are the police here?"

"Shanzi is back too. We were making such a racket earlier, I didn't even see him."

The crowd erupted in uproar. Zhao Cuihong, who had previously been so imposing, shrank back and tried to hide in the crowd.

"Stay where you are."

Cao Zhigang, with his sharp eyes, noticed her movement and suddenly pointed.

"Get her under control."

The people around immediately dispersed, leaving Zhao Cuihong standing alone in the same spot. Xiao Li and Xiao Wang stepped forward and sandwiched her between them.

"Comrade, how are you feeling?"

Cao Zhigang turned his head and looked at Chunhua.

"I...I'm not feeling anything anymore."

When Chunhua heard the police questioning her, she instinctively tried to get up from the ground and say that she was fine, but then she noticed that her mother and the team leader were both blinking.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he immediately changed his tune.

"Does your village have a doctor?"

"Yes, there are barefoot doctors."

"You two, take the person over there and check on the situation."

Cao Zhigang spotted Xu Xiulian at a glance and immediately told her to go, as a special favor, while turning his head to say...

"Please call the person in charge of your village over here. What are you trying to do by injuring someone in public?"

It didn't take long.

The three leaders of Chishongtun all rushed over, each one trembling with fear, their eyes fixed on Zhao Cuihong with ill intent.

For many years.

Unexpectedly, the first time the police came to the village was because of her.
