Chapter 562: Complaint
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Niaoniao was so angry that she laughed.
...“What murder? Didn’t you say that all of this was an accident back then? The Feng family died in an accident. Since it was an accident, how could there be a murder?”
The low-ranking official was embarrassed by her words and his expression immediately turned ugly.
“Why are you so sharp-tongued?!”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Why? You can’t argue, so you started to attack me personally?”
The petty official pointed at her. “You’d better watch your attitude!”
Just as he finished speaking, his outstretched finger was hit by a stone, causing him to scream in pain.
The bailiffs beside him immediately became vigilant and quickly looked around to see who had thrown the stone.
At this moment, Xiao Juan put down the hoe in his hand and said coldly to the official.
“You’re the one who should be mindful of attitude.”
The low-ranking official covered his swollen finger and scolded angrily, “How dare you attack an official? You’re really rebelling.”
He shouted at the bailiffs beside him.
“Why are you still standing there stupidly? Hurry up and arrest these people and throw them into jail. Let’s see if they still dare to go against the government in the future!”
Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha were about to attack when they saw the commoners led by Auntie Wang rushing over aggressively to stand in front of Yu Niaoniao.
They widened their eyes in anger and roared at the top of their lungs.
“If anyone dares to move, we’ll fight them to the death! Come if you’re not afraid of death!”
They looked murderous, as if he was really going to fight to the death.
The guards shrank back in fear.
Even the low-ranking official was a little afraid, and his arrogance became smaller.
This time, it was Xiao Juan, Lo Pingsha, and Ling Hai who were surprised.
They had heard that the people of Bashu were valiant in the past, but they did not expect that the people here were not even afraid of the soldiers and even dared to fight them head-on with weapons.
Such a thing was unimaginable elsewhere.
The low-ranking official said weakly.
“This has nothing to do with you. All of you, walk away. It won’t end well for you to go against the government.”
Auntie Wang retorted angrily, “We’re helping Niaoniao clean her house. What has it got to do with you? Stop being an eyesore here. Get lost!”
With that, she picked up the broom and threw it at the official!
Seeing that she really dared to attack, the low-ranking official hurriedly retreated in fear.
“You, you shrew!”
Auntie Wang swung the broom and chased after him. “I’ll splash your face! You short-lived child, if you don’t get lost, I’ll break your legs!”
The low-ranking official could only cover his head and flee. The bailiffs beside him wanted to help, but as long as they moved, the commoners would rush over.
Although this group of bailiffs wore official uniforms and had sabers at their waists, they had actually not learned martial arts for many days and did not even know how to use knives.
If they really fought, they would definitely be injured.
As bailiffs, they only wanted to make a living. They did not have any fearless spirit, let alone sacrifice themselves for this.
Therefore, Xiao Juan, Lo Pingsha, and Ling Hai were forced to watch a scene of Aunt Wang chasing after a small official.
Not to mention that it was quite interesting, the three of them wanted to laugh.
Not long after, the village head in charge of managing this area was alarmed. He rushed over on an ox cart with a family of old and young.
When the low-ranking official saw the village head arrive, he pounced on him as if he had seen his savior and complained loudly.
“Old Master Zhang, you’re finally here! Control this shrew. How dare she hit me with a broom in broad daylight? She’s simply lawless!”
Village Head Zhang had white hair and was walking slowly with a walking stick.
Not only was he senior, but he was also well-known. When Aunt Wang saw him, she immediately put down the broom and obediently called him Uncle
Zhang.
The other commoners also shouted.
Village Head Zhang frowned and said to Auntie Wang in disapproval.
“That’s right. Which one of you hit someone in broad daylight? It’s not good. If you want to hit someone, you should find a private place to do it.”
The low-ranking official, who had been nodding in agreement, was stunned when he heard the last sentence.
He turned to look at Village Head Zhang in disbelief.
Old Master, listen to yourself!
Aunt Wang looked like she had been taught a lesson. “Uncle Zhang is right. I didn’t do this well.”
Village Head Zhang said, “You have to be careful in public, lest outsiders think that the people here are especially fierce. They’ll scare those traveling merchants so much that they won’t dare to do business here.”
Auntie Wang hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely pay attention next time.”
The official couldn’t take it anymore and raised his voice.
“Old Master Zhang, are you blind? I’m the one who was beaten up now. As the village head, aren’t you going to uphold justice for me?!”
Village Head Zhang frowned and said slowly, “Lower your voice. I can hear you.”
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at everyone, as if he was looking for someone.
“I heard that Niaoniao is back. Where is she?”
Yu Niaoniao quickly stood up. “I’m here.”
Village Head Zhang immediately smiled when he saw her.
“My little girl has grown up and is slender and elegant. Like your mother, you’re a beautiful child. Come, come, I have candy here. Take it and eat it.”
With that, he took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into Yu Niaoniao’s hand.
Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao’s eyes stung and she quickly reached out to catch it.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
When she was young, her favorite elder was Village Head Zhang because every time she saw him, he would give her candy.
His sleeve was like a Doraemon pocket, where he could take out candy at any time.
After so many years, Yu Niaoniao was past the age where she needed candy to be coaxed , but Village Head Zhang still maintained this habit of giving her sugar when they met.
Village Head Zhang was very happy.
“Of all the dolls, you’re the most polite. You say thank you every time. The other dolls take the candy and leave.”
Yu Niaoniao was embarrassed by the praise.
She called Xiao Juan over and introduced him to Village Head Zhang. “Grandpa, this is my husband. His surname is Xiao and his name is Juan.”
Xiao Juan tidied his clothes and cupped his hands at Village Head Zhang as a junior. “Grandpa.”
Village Head Zhang saw that his tall figure and handsome eyes matched the way he stood up and could not help but nod repeatedly.
“Not bad, lad. You’re not from around here, are you?”
Xiao Juan replied truthfully, “I’m from Liangzhou and live in the Imperial Capital.”
Village Head Zhang said, “The Imperial Capital is good. It’s a big place with everything. Niaoniao will definitely be able to live a good life with you. It’s rare for you to come back. You must come to my house for a meal today so that you can try the most authentic specialty dishes in Sichuan.”
Seeing that their topic was getting further and further away, the low-ranking official could not help but remind them loudly.
“Village Head Zhang! Can you stop chatting? Now is the time to do serious business!”
Village Head Zhang sighed. “Is there something wrong with your ears? Why is your voice so loud?”
The lowly official was speechless..
