13 012: Village Chief Arrived_1

Translator: 549690339

Ni Yang has always been a soft, docile, and submissive person.

When was she ever so defiant?

Li Shu felt her temple throb wildly, an ominous feeling suddenly bubbling up.

No way!

She couldn’t let Ni Yang slip out of her control.

Li Shu offered up a forced smile, her eyes focused on Ni Yang, “Yangyang, what’s gotten into you? Your grandmother is thinking of your best interests! How could you talk to her like that? Do you have any idea how wealthy my cousin is? If you marry him, you could live a luxurious life. So many girls crave this opportunity yet you’ve got it. Stop angering your grandmother, apologize to her and get my cousin back here.”

Ni Yang responded with a bright, pointed smile, “If your cousin is such a catch, why not marry him yourself? Isn’t this perfect, seeing as how you’re a widow too?”

Li Shu’s eyes bulged, unable to conceal her fury anymore, “You shameless girl, what are you babbling about?”

Right at that moment, Mu Jinbao rushed in from the yard, his face an image of dismay, “Mom, I caught up with Dazhuang, but he refuses to return…

Who knew what was going on with that Wang Dazhuang.

He was clearly quite interested in Ni Yang just a while ago.

However, after a romp in the cornfield, he returned as if he was a completely different person.

“Refuses to return? Why does he refuse to return? My one thousand yuan! My one thousand yuan!” Granny Mu was so furious it felt like her liver would burst, her face deathly pale, it was more painful than dying a little.

That was one thousand yuan!

A whole thousand yuan!

“Jinbao, beat this shameless wench to death! Beat her till she’s dead!” Granny Mu pointed at Ni Yang and spat out viciously.

Even if Ni Yang was beaten to death right now, she still wouldn’t feel satisfied!

This cheap wench was truly hateful!

Even Mu Jinbao was pining over the one thousand yuan, he stepped up to Ni Yang, raised his hand, and viciously slapped down.

Mu Jinbao’s hand was about to make contact when Ni Cuihua hurriedly stepped in front of Ni Yang, taking the slap full on her face.

Ni Cuihua’s head jerked sideways from the force, but she didn’t retreat, she looked up at Mu Jinbao and summoned the courage to say,

“Mu Jinbao, I want a divorce!”

Divorce?

Mu Jinbao laughed scornfully at Ni Cuihua.

“You’re nothing more than an old cow bought and paid for by our Mu family! You don’t have the right to demand a divorce! You belong to the Mu family in life and death! You’ll never escape from the Mu family.”

Yes, Ni Cuihua was merely purchased by Mu Jinbao for three yuan.

Hearing these words, Ni Cuihua’s face darkened.

Yeah.

How could she have forgotten…

She was bought by the Mu family.

She can’t get a divorce?

If she can’t get a divorce, what should she do?

Does that mean she’s doomed to spend the rest of her life with this scum?

Just then, a few figures appeared outside the door, stopping to listen to the commotion inside.

If Mu Jinbao raised his head to look out, he would see, amongst the group, the village chief of Dam Village.

Ni Yang stepped in front of Ni Cuihua, “Human trafficking is illegal! My mother wants to divorce you now, you have no right to deprive her of her freedom!”

Since Ni Cuihua had never gone through a registration process with Mu Jinbao, this matter was much easier to settle!

Ni Yang caught sight of the shadow on the ground and started devising her plan.

Mu Jinbao was so infuriated at Ni Yang’s retort that he grabbed an axe and swung it towards Ni Yang, “You ungrateful brat! If I don’t kill you today, I’m not a Mu!”

Ni Cuihua gasped and quickly shielded Ni Yang behind her.

But Ni Yang was not afraid of Mu Jinbao, “You don’t have the right to hit me! And you sure as hell have no right to be my father! Don’t think I don’t know who Li Shu is, she’s your mistress and she’s carrying your bastard child! You’re keeping a woman on the side and yet you still expect my mother to slave for you! People like you should all rot in hell!”

Upon hearing that, beads of sweat dotted Li Shu’s forehead.

Ni Yang knew about her and Mu Jinbao’s relationship.

What should she do?

What now?

She thought she could control Ni Yang, but she never expected this girl to be so fierce!

Besides, it’s a sensitive period now, if people find out about her relationship with Mu Jinbao, she won’t get off scot-free!

Mu Jinbao was incensed by Ni Yang’s words and swung the axe straight down.

“Ungrateful brat! I’ll kill you today!”

Just when he was about to strike, a figure rushed in from outside, grabbed Mu Jinbao’s hand.

“What’s going on? Is there no respect for law in your eyes?”

The person who came in was no other than the old village chief along with several men in suits.

The one who grabbed Mu Jinbao’s wrist was indeed the old village chief.

Despite his age, the village chief’s strength wasn’t weaker than any young man’s.

“Village chief, what wind blows you our way?” Mu Jinbao asked playfully as he look towards the village chief.

The village chief also surnamed Mu and was a relative of Mu Jinbao’s, so he wasn’t particularly afraid of the village chief.

How bad could it be if the village chief found out that he was hitting his wife and children?

Would he turn against his own family for this?

Impossible!

But the village chief wasn’t as accommodating as usual and demanded harshly: “If I didn’t come now, there would have been a homicide! Comrade Mu Jinbao, no matter the reason, it can’t be an excuse for you to beat your wife and children!”

Mu Jinbao, grinning ear to ear, said, “Village chief, I was just disciplining my wife and kids. You’re making it sound like a murder…”

How many men in this village don’t hit their wives?

Even the village chief himself perhaps isn’t clean in this regard.

Furthermore, in this remote and poor village, even if one were to beat someone to death, no one would care.

If someone really got beaten to death, one would only need to drag the body up to the mountain and bury it.

It wouldn’t be the first time someone had beaten their spouse to death in the village.

“Comrade Mu Jinbao, take this seriously!” The village chief reprimanded him, “What you just did was attempted murder!”

If it were any other day, the village chief wouldn’t have bothered with such matters. In Dam Village, wife-beating was a daily occurrence, and if he had to deal with every case, he wouldn’t be able to manage it all.

But not today. Today, standing next to him were a few officials with quite a bit of authority!

At this moment, Ni Yang tugged at Ni Cuihua’s sleeve.

Ni Cuihua quickly understood and fell to her knees, bursting into tears, “Village Chief, please don’t support these people just because they share your surname! You must stand up for us! We mother and daughters have had such difficult lives, Mu Jinbao isn’t human, it’s bad enough that he’s having affairs outside, now he even wants to kill us both! I’ve been married to the Mu Family for seventeen years, given birth to five daughters for him and he abandoned three. These children are my life… Now I want a divorces, I want to divorce this murderer, we cannot go on like this, please village chief, stand up for us…”
