Chapter 138 I am not your slave, Village Chief Jiang
Ever since Shen Nanzhi led hundreds of people from Yushu Village into the village, everyone was still confused and didn't understand what she was doing.
Everything was fine, but suddenly they came to the door. The Shen family is too overbearing.
It was not until Shen Nanzhi stopped in front of Hunter Chen's door that the villagers realized that she came for Hunter Chen.
Village Chief Jiang's face was dark. He understood Shen Nanzhi's intention and it was easy to deal with. He stepped forward to stop her and said, "Shen, you came to the village to take people away. Have you asked me, the village chief, what I think?"
Shen Nanzhi: "Village Chief, please change your address first. I am Shen Nanzhi, not some Shen family. Don't forget that Jiang Chen and I have divorced and have no relationship. If you call me like this, do you still regard me as one of your villagers?"
"This is not important..."
"No, it's very important. I get upset when I hear this Shenshi. I can't control my anger. Please remember, don't call me Shenshi anymore. I have a bad temper and I can't control my temper and I'm too harsh. You should find your own faults and stop talking. I will teach you how to talk."
Shen Qingshan's son was called Shen Desheng. He was a smart young man of about seventeen or eighteen. He brought a chair for cousin Nanzhi to sit down, and he and another cousin Shen Dexi stood on both sides of her, like two generals.
Shen Nanzhi sat down with her arms and legs spread wide. Her plump figure was very imposing, like the mistress of a wealthy family. If she was too thin, and didn't have silk, satin, pearls, jade, and other rich things to wear, she wouldn't be able to show off her aura and overpower others.
Shen Nanzhi's behavior really gave the villagers a great sense of oppression. They were so frightened that they couldn't even bring themselves to question him.
Village Chief Jiang had no choice but to continue: "Okay, Miss Shen, it's just a title, I don't care, I just want to ask you, what does it mean to come to my village and take someone away?"
"What do you mean? Do I need to explain to you? He, Chen the Hunter, is a free man, right? He is a good citizen, right? He is not a servant of your Jiang family. Do I need to explain to you what I did with him?
"Village chief, do you regard all the people in this village as your slaves? You have such great ambitions to be the local emperor of Shimo Village!"
The villagers' faces changed and they all looked at Village Chief Jiang with complicated expressions. He was indeed very impatient with the villagers recently. Anyone who was dissatisfied would be suppressed forcefully and almost got beaten.
Village Chief Jiang's face changed even more. "Miss Shen, don't put the blame on me. I am the village chief, so I must protect the safety of the villagers. Can't I ask clearly?"
"Oh, you want to protect him? Fine, take the money and take him to the county town for medical treatment. Don't just talk about it, everyone can do it.
I also said that when I become rich, my fellow villagers will receive 100 taels of silver every year. It is not illegal to make big promises, but it is a little hypocritical and disgusting. "
"you……"
Village Chief Jiang was furious. He couldn't get through to Shen Nanzhi, so he said to Shen Qingshan: "Village Chief Shen, you are also the head of the village. You should also consider the overall situation. How can you indulge your niece to act so recklessly?"
Shen Qingshan snorted coldly: "You don't have to care about what my family does. My niece is making trouble to save people. She is not like some people who are human but do nothing. I am ashamed to be associated with them!"
Shen Desheng said, "That's right. Everyone in our village listens to Nan Zhi. You can't even manage your own family, but you worry about ours. Is it your turn to manage it?"
Village Chief Jiang suppressed his anger and said, "What if I don't agree? This is our village. If you want to take people away, you have to ask all the villagers whether they agree or not."
Shen Nanzhi stood up, looked at the villagers where he had lived before, and said, "Are you going to help Village Chief Jiang stop me?
You know better than me what Village Chief Jiang has done, I don't need to tell you. Hunter Chen has been injured for a day and a night, but he didn't call a doctor and no one cared for him. He stayed at home waiting to die and let Sister Xu cry until she went blind.
Ask yourself, if you were in this situation, would you still be willing to stay in this cold and heartless village when you were helpless? "
Widow Xu wiped her eyes and walked out, her face full of coldness, "Nanzhi, don't waste your words with them, I knelt down and begged every household, even if they could just send my husband to the town for medical treatment, I would be grateful.
But no one helped me. The village chief forcibly took away my family’s land and only gave us fifty taels of silver as compensation, which was then snatched away by someone else. If it weren’t for the hunter Chen who helped me, our family would have starved to death.
I finally found someone to rely on, and then something like this happened. They are trying to wipe out my family.
Village chief, let me ask you, for those twenty acres of land, do you have to kill my entire family to be satisfied?"
Village Chief Jiang flatly denied it: "You are a bad person, no one is willing to help you. Why don't you look for the reason in yourself and ask me?"
Widow Xu said angrily, "You are threatening the villagers. Anyone who helps my family is against you. I am not stupid, and neither are the villagers.
Do you feel guilty for saying this, you black-hearted old thing? My family has met a noble person like Nan Zhi, so we must live well in the future and wait for the day when you will be punished."
"How dare you, Xu! Have you forgotten the help the village gave you in the past? Your family doesn't have labor to farm the fields, and every time the villagers helped you to plant and harvest the crops? You are so ungrateful!"
"Bah, you still have the nerve to say that. When did I not give out food as compensation? Who worked for me for free? Who of you would I dare to ask for help? Wouldn't your wife block my door and scold me for being immoral?"
Widow Xu was extremely angry. She didn't dare to take advantage of the men in the village for fear of being scolded by the women. The income from the land was barely enough to keep her from starving.
Hunter Chen raised his hand, "Li Niang, come here."
"Hey, Master, I'm going with Nan Zhi. I believe in her and she will definitely cure you. I'm not a husband-killer. I want to grow old with you."
Shen Nanzhi's eyes were sore. It was so difficult for Widow Xu to live.
Hunter Chen felt even more distressed and said, "I know, you are right to think so. From now on, our whole family will settle in Yushu Village and will no longer be people of Shimo Village."
"Well, okay, it's up to you."
Village Chief Jiang's expression became even uglier: "Chen Hu, I watched you grow up, do you have to do things so drastically?
Leave this village and never come back, and don't even come to worship at your ancestors' graves."
Chen the Hunter's real name is Chen Hu. This was the first time Shen Nanzhi knew about it. The villagers had all forgotten it and just called him Chen the Hunter.
When Shen Nanzhi heard that the old man was still making trouble, his eyes were sharp, "The graves of our ancestors have also been moved. If you hadn't reminded me, Village Chief Jiang, I would have forgotten about this important matter."
Shen Qingshan said: "Okay, there is a piece of land near our Shen family's ancestral tomb. It's not a big deal to move here. There's no need to consider Feng Shui."
Chen Hu was very grateful: "Miss Shen, thank you very much."
Shen Nanzhi: "Why are you being polite? We are partners who have killed bandits together. We are friends who have risked our lives for each other. If you don't mind, I will call you Big Brother and Sister Xu Big Sister-in-law from now on."
Chen the Hunter was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Don't mind, I suffered a lot, but I got a good girl, it's worth it!"
