Chapter 109 Swear

Chapter 109 Swear
Liu Chunxiu never dreamed that there were such shameless people in the world. She was so angry that her face turned red. "It was obviously you who said it. Otherwise, why don't I say it was someone else who said it?"

"You said it was what I said, right?" Zou Annu said sarcastically, "You are just a little kid. I told you to go find Ah Wei for a cut, and you went? Then I told you to go eat shit, why didn't you go?"

Liu Chunxiu regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She was angry at herself for being soft-hearted and listening to this bitch. Now she was in a difficult situation.

Chen Fulai was so angry that his face turned blue. "It was you who said it. I went to buy matches and you guys were still talking about it. You even said hello to me when you left."

"Who from the same village would meet each other without saying hello? You are husband and wife, so of course you should speak up for her!" Zou Anv retorted righteously.

"You..." Liu Chunxiu was so angry that she trembled all over. She pulled Zou Annu and said, "You said you didn't say it, and I said you did. Since we can't make it clear, let's swear to Master Chuanlong in front of all these people today that whoever tells lies today will have his ship capsized and die in the belly of fish when he goes out to sea!"

The onlookers didn't expect that Liu Chunxiu had such a hot temper. She even proposed to swear a solemn oath to Chuanlong Ye. Now it was up to Zou Anv. As long as she didn't dare to swear, she would be the one behind this.

After listening to Liu Chunxiu's words, Li Changle knew that she was sure to win, because fishermen believed that there must be a "Dragon God" on every boat, and they would offer sacrifices to the boat every time they set sail, asking the Dragon God for protection.

This kind of sacrificial activity has never changed even in special times, let alone now. Even after a few decades, it will still be a taboo that fishermen dare not violate.

Zou Anü was stunned. Her eldest son and son-in-law were on the boat. There were so many taboos on the ship, and no one dared to touch them, for fear that the voyage would not go smoothly.

Besides, this was her fault in the first place, how could she dare to swear to God?

Liu Chunxiu had nothing to hide, so she was naturally fearless. She swore to the ship, "Ship Dragon Lord, if what I, Liu Chunxiu, said today is even a lie, then let my family be eaten by fish when we leave the ship!"

After she swore the oath, she said to Zou Annu, "Weren't you quite talkative just now? Are you mute now?"

Zou Annu's mouth moved a few times, but she still didn't dare to swear. The Boat Dragon was very spiritual, and if her oath came true, someone would die.

When everyone saw that Liu Chunxiu had really sworn a poisonous oath, Zou Anü stood there for a long time but did not dare to speak. They all knew that she was lying, and they all started to talk about it among themselves.

"Look, she was the one who was stirring up trouble. She was screaming so loudly just now."

"When she lived in the village, she liked to go from house to house and stir up trouble. She was exposed in person more than once or twice."

"It was better before, but after her second daughter married a man who was good at making money and opened a seafood store for them, things started to get better."

"She is just jealous of Ah Le. Look, ever since he stopped hanging out with Wang Mazi, his luck has been getting better and better. I heard that he made hundreds of dollars yesterday."

Listening to the sarcasm and ridicule of the villagers, Wang Laokou felt as uncomfortable as if he was scratched by a cat. He winked at Secretary Wang, wanting him to speak up and stop this.

Someone in Secretary Wang's family also went out to sea, so how could they dare to do anything disrespectful to the gods? They pretended not to notice his look and just smoked.

If he had not bought a TV at half price from his son-in-law last year and received some gifts from his son-in-law, he would have asked Chen Adong to deal with it today.

Li Changle had seen all of this and sneered, "Secretary Wang, do you still need to find a witness?"

Grandma Chen took over the conversation, "It's obvious that some people are guilty and dare not swear. Who else do they need to be a witness?"

Liu Chunxiu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I was standing on my family's boat and talking to her. The boat dragon is very spiritual, and he would have heard who did something bad."

"We didn't wrongly accuse her in the first place." Chen Fu said, looking at Secretary Wang, "Secretary, my wife swore a solemn oath, who is lying? There is no need to find another witness, right?"

Secretary Wang wanted to help Wang Mazi's family, but he couldn't do too much under the watchful eyes of the public.

He looked at Zou Annu, who was standing there stupidly, with a headache, and said to Wang Laokou, "It was your wife who did something wrong. What do you say now?"

Old Wang rolled his eyes and stepped forward to give Zou Annu a slap. "You talkative woman, look at what you have done, I will deal with you when we get back. Why are you still embarrassing yourself here? Get out of here right now!"

Zou Anü wiped her tears and limped towards the shop.

Wang Laokou said with a sad face, "Secretary Wang, fellow villagers, look, my wife can't even walk properly. She was wrong to talk too much, and now she has learned her lesson."

He paused, rolled up his clothes, and pointed at the wounds he had received from Chen Yongwei, "But they shouldn't have come to my house to beat people up. Look at what they've done to me.

And my son Awang was beaten and kicked by Li Changle, and he couldn't even scream. We are from the same village, why were they so cruel? "

I saw a red spot on his stomach, which was caused by Awei kicking him just now. It’s okay now, but it will definitely be blue and black tomorrow.

Li's mother sneered, "Didn't your Wang Mazi say that he hit people because he was angry? My A-Le is a tall and big man. He watched his wife being beaten, but he didn't hit her back. He might as well jump into the sea and die." Seeing Wang Laokou playing the victim, Grandma Chen also trembled and said, "You were the first to hit people. A-Wei and A-Le came and saw your Wang Mazi beating An Nan, so they hit you."

Wang Mazi limped over and said, "Li Changle stepped on my hand and I can't straighten it out yet. If I can't work and earn money in the future, I will go to his house to eat."

He was really in pain all over, especially his right hand which was stepped on by Li Changle, which was extremely painful.

"Let's eat at my house?" Li Changle supported Zhou Ruonan, "My wife's ears are still buzzing, and school is about to start. She won't be able to attend classes and won't get paid. You guys have to pay me back!"

"My wife earns 12 yuan a month, which is more than 140 yuan a year. My family depends on my wife's salary! If my wife can't hear and can't go to work when school starts, my family will go to Wang's house for dinner!"

Zhou Ruonan's face turned red with anger because of what he said, but she couldn't say anything bad about him, so she could only pretend she didn't hear it and kept her head down without saying anything.

Everyone laughed as they had never seen anyone living off a gigolo so naturally.

Someone else joked, "Ah Le, Wang Mazi said that his family always has braised pork, be careful it's too greasy, or you'll have diarrhea."

"Ah Le, you only earned 480 today, which is equivalent to your wife's salary for more than three years. Do you still want your wife to support you?"

Li Changle said with a smile: "The money I earn is also my wife's money. My son and I depend on her for everything we eat and use!"

"After all this time, Ah Le is still afraid of his wife."

"It's good to be afraid of your wife. It can make you rich!"

Wang Laokou saw that his father and son were beaten like this by the Chen and Li families. Not only did he not get any sympathy from anyone, but everyone was still laughing and making fun of Li Changle, as if they wished a big typhoon would come and blow them all into the sea and drown them.

"Secretary Wang, they beat my family of three like this, how should we solve this problem?"

Seeing that no one in the village sympathized with the Wang family, Secretary Wang also began to smooth things over. "Zou Annu was wrong in today's incident. Your family should be more polite. The three families should sit down and have a good discussion. We are all from the same village. Don't make things too ugly."

Seeing that he was trying to smooth things over, Wang Laokou said in dissatisfaction, "Secretary Wang, what do you mean by stop making a scene? My father and I were working peacefully in the shop, but someone came to our door and beat us up.
The deal has been ruined, and now I can't even get justice. Should I make a scene or should they make a scene?"

I have given you so many things in the past year, but now you don’t even dare to say a fair word when something happens. I might as well give you to the stray dog ​​at the dock, who can still help me guard the door and wag its tail at me.

"Secretary Wang!" Li Changle said loudly, "Our two families were happily preparing wine and food to celebrate the encounter with a large school of fish, but because of Zou Annu's gossip,

It has caused unrest to three families. My wife is still deaf. Tell me the truth. Who is causing the trouble?"

"It's all my fault. He's soft-hearted. After being provoked, he went to you to ask for a commission. From now on, you all should be more careful about those who pretend to be enthusiastic."

Secretary Wang said in a deep voice, "It was Zou A-nu's fault for stirring up trouble first, but your mother and Chen A-nai brought people to the house and ruined their business. A-wang got angry and started beating them, but ended up hurting your wife by mistake."

"Then, you and A Wei beat up the Wang family father and son in a rage, and your mother and sister-in-law beat up Zou Anv. People from both families were seriously injured. Both families were wrong."

"We are all from the same village. We will meet each other sooner or later. Everyone should take a step back and take their own family members to see a doctor. No matter how serious the injuries are, you cannot regret it later."

"You can go to someone else's house for dinner, or ask someone to pay for the medicine. If you feel satisfied with this solution, then do it this way. If not, I can't do anything about it."

"You can fight as much as you want. If something happens, the police will intervene. They will arrest those who should be arrested and compensate those who should be compensated. No one will be left with a good outcome."

If they are still not satisfied with this, he really doesn't want to care about it. Let Wang Mazi's family do whatever they want. The worst that can happen is that they can give him the money for the TV.

Old Chen stepped forward and tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Secretary Wang is right, we are all from the same village, we will meet each other sooner or later, let's both take a step back, if the situation gets out of hand, it will be bad for us both."

Everyone felt that what Secretary Wang said was fair. "Yes, if we make a big fuss, nothing good will come of it. Ah Le, you should also take a step back and take Teacher Zhou to the hospital first."

Zhou Ruonan pinched Li Changle's hand, signaling him to take a step back, so as to avoid giving people the impression that the Li family was being unreasonable.

Li Changle stepped forward and said, "For Secretary Wang's sake, I will not hold the Wang family responsible for what happened today. But from now on, the Wang family must not stir up trouble again. If they do, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and gave one to Secretary Wang and the onlookers. If there was not enough, he asked Chen Yongwei to take out some.

The villagers who watched the scene all said that Li Changle was a good person, unlike some people who looked down on others just because they had a few bucks.
