Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 132 - Jingshan Town

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Jingshan Town

As soon as the village head entered, Old Lady Mo wept as if she had seen a family member, crying and saying between sobs, “Village head, you’ve come at just the right time, you must stand up for me. It’s all this old hag’s fault. Why should the Mo family have to pay the silver? Anyway, I have no money left, only this one life, oh woo woo woo…”

With the village head present, thinking she had someone to back her up, Old Lady Mo became fearless and began to throw a tantrum.

Unable to get any money, Butcher Yu became furiously embarrassed, he stepped in front of Old Lady Mo, raised his fist, and said viciously, “You old hag, don’t push your luck, hand over the silver now or be careful I might punch you to death.”

“Village head, you see, you see, like bandits, he’s threatening my wife! Is there no justice left, no imperial law, oh woo woo woo…!”

“Who are you calling bandits? Debt repayment is a natural duty, even if we go to the Yamen, I’m still in the right,” Butcher Yu was also very annoyed, having spent his own silver and been injured, now being called a bandit.

Old Lady Mo was notoriously stingy and miserly in Mo Family Village, asking her to give up twenty-five taels of silver at once was practically asking for her life.

Knowing it was pointless to reason with her, the village head didn’t bother to persuade her and changed the subject by asking, “Where’s the old master? Why don’t I see him?”

“They went to the town early in the morning, just before this gang of bandits came to my house to wreak havoc, bullying an old woman like me, village head look, look what they’ve done to my house, damn it all, everything was bought with silver.” With the village head present, Old Lady Mo felt quite settled and began to incessantly complain.

“You are the village head, right?” Butcher Yu glared at the village head and asked in a coarse voice.

“Yes.” The village head nodded.

“Then what do you think should be done about this matter? Repaying debts is just and right, I’m not asking for much, either return the money or give us a person, we can’t be left empty-handed. Although Jingshan Town is small, we still abide by the imperial law.”

Since the Old Maid was always talking about the imperial law, Butcher Yu wasn’t stupid and also mentioned it, giving extra emphasis on these words, to show that what he was doing was legal.

The village head lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, “You guys go back today, and come back in a few days, I’ll give you a satisfying answer then.”

“No, this matter can’t be delayed any further,” Butcher Yu flatly refused.

“You see, their head of the family is not here, Old Lady Mo, a woman of the inner quarters, can’t possibly come up with that much silver,” the village head patiently explained. Although he knew Old Lady Mo ran the household, he couldn’t help it because she was a miserly miser; asking her to give up money was harder than killing her.

Butcher Yu thought about it for a while, turned his head, and murmured with a few strong men for a good while, before looking up to the village head and saying, “Alright, just for you this time, we’ll come back in two days. But if there are still no taels of silver, we’ll burn down the house.”

After stating this, Butcher Yu left in a huff with a few strong men.

“Look, look, bandits, true bandits! Village head, you should report this to the officials and arrest them all.” When Old Lady Mo heard about her house being burned, she started wailing and crying again.

“This isn’t their fault, you were in the wrong from the start.” The village head glanced at Aunt Sun, who was crouching on the side too afraid to make a sound, his tone full of reproach.

Just then, Old Lady Mo looked up, following the village head’s gaze, spotted Aunt Sun, and in a burst of rage, she rushed forward and began beating her furiously.

“You disgraceful woman, selling my granddaughter and making me pay the money, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.”

Aunt Sun was not like Madam Xie, who would just take it and blame herself without fighting back.

After a few punches, she snapped back to reality and immediately fought back, quickly grappling with Old Lady Mo.
