After discussing the matter about renting the land, Old Village Head was about to leave. However, at this moment, he heard someone outside calling for the Village Head to take charge.

"What is it?" Old Village Head was puzzled. Luo Qiuyun and the rest were curious too, so they walked out of the door together to see what was going on.

When she saw Old Village Head, it was as if he had found his lifeline. Luo Qiuyun waited for him to finish speaking before she found out that someone from the Liang Village had come to ask for the young man's cousin to be a widow.

"What's going on? "Explain to me clearly, who has the guts to make my Chen family's virgin give him that sick fella a widow!" Old Village Head seemed to be angered by this matter and his expression was extremely ugly.

"Village Head, it's the Liang Family's second son of a bitch. He said that before he died of illness, he had discussed marriage with my sister, and that my sister was the bane of his plans. Because my family didn't agree to his marriage, and so he …"

"What a load of nonsense. Don't say that your elder sister didn't have a marriage engagement with him, even if it is true, the death of that sickly woman isn't her fault. What nemesis, I think it's the people from Liang Village who see our Chen Village as easy to bully, they even bullied their way up here."

"Then …" What about the Village Head? My parents are cowards, and I'm afraid that my cousin will suffer a grievance. " With Old Village Head's support, the teenager became slightly bolder and dared to voice out his thoughts.

"Come, let's go to your house and take a look. Is the Liang family still here?" Old Village Head asked as they walked.

The youth replied, "I was still here when I arrived. Village Head, why don't I call Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang over as well. There will be more people to fight later."

"How can two be enough? Call over all of the village's brawny men. Just tell them what I said, they are bullying us to the doorstep, why are we still talking about etiquette with them." The moment Old Village Head said this, it immediately overturned the impression Luo Qiuyun and Luo Qiuyun had of him.

"Sis, many things are getting out of hand. Why don't we go take a look as well?" Luo Tianli asked with a pair of curious eyes.

Luo Qiuyun was initially a little worried about Luo Tianli going to join in the fun, but seeing Luo Tianli's rare interest, she was also happy to accompany him. Perhaps it wasn't bad to have a look at the ancient brawls.

Of course, whether she could beat him up in the end was a problem. After all, she knew that the village chief was a sly old fox.

As expected, someone was causing trouble. The leader was the young man who had mentioned Liang Village earlier, and was said to be a famous hoodlum from nearby. When Luo Qiuyun and Old Village Head arrived, he was holding a wooden stick to threaten the young man's parents.

There was a hint of pride in her eyes, but more than that, she was filled with despair. After all, as a woman, after this incident, her future reputation would not be good. It would be even harder to find a good husband.

Seeing this, Luo Qiuyun secretly sympathized for her. It was just that she had just arrived at the village and did not want to interfere in this matter, so as to not burden the two little ones, she did not intervene to mediate. However, with Old Village Head intervening, the originally weaker side had become the stronger one.

"Listen up, no one dares to bully our Chen Village. Obediently scram out of the village, or else we will be served with big sticks."

"That's right. You're just serving you with a big stick. Second fool, others might be afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. At worst, I'll just fight you."

"…"

Behind Old Village Head stood a group of hot-blooded teenagers. They stared at the people of Liang Village who had already retreated to the side after hearing the news and shouted.

"Fourth Elder Zhang, you're surnamed Zhang. You're not surnamed Chen, yet you came here to work for Chen. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Second Fool said.

The youth he mentioned by his name made a "pei" sound and replied: "Stop bullshitting, what are you thinking about? Don't think that we don't know, even though I'm surnamed Zhang, I'm still a member of the Chen Village. Back then, if my grandfather didn't have Chen Village, I wouldn't be around, but instead a coward from your village who dared to come to our village under the light of day to commit evil, do you really think that our Chen Village doesn't have anyone!"

Raising his stick, he said to his companions behind him, "Brothers, since those bastards are unwilling to give up, let's beat them to a pulp and have them beg for mercy. Let's see if they still dare to come back to our village and act presumptuously next time."

"Hit, hit him!"

"Screw it!"

The situation suddenly became chaotic. Before Old Village Head could stop them, he saw Zhang Laotong leading the group of people to fight against the people from Liang Village.

Luo Qiuyun gaped at the scene before her. She had thought that everyone was just trying to scare the other party, but who would have thought that they actually did it? Could it be that they're not afraid of the people from the county magistrate?

Luo Qiuyun couldn't figure it out, so she was too lazy to think. Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic, she quickly pulled Luo Tianli, hugging Luo Tianxiang tightly and hiding to the side. It wasn't because she was afraid of fighting, but because she was afraid of the two little ones getting hurt by those people.

Due to the advantage in numbers, Zhang Lao4 and his gang quickly beat the man who had come to challenge the Liang Village until he had no way to fight back.

"Alright, enough." Old Village Head only spoke after seeing that his side had gained the upper hand. However, at this time, the villagers of Liang Village, led by the second son of a b * tch, were all gathered together like pigs.

Second fool, it is you who brought the people from the Liang Village here today to cause trouble for us, it is only right that we will retaliate. Even if we end up in that place, your Liang Village wouldn't be in the right either, and this matter is fine, but if I hear again in the future that someone dares to come knocking on our door and ask our Miss Chen Village to help that necromancer survive, our Chen Village is also not something that can be easily bullied.

After all, they knew that he was not being reasonable. When he first came to provoke them, it was all because of greed that had knocked their brains out; one had to know that Liang Xiu Cai's mother gave them fifty silvers in order to find Chen Village.

Fifty silver was a huge sum of money for those poor and laughing peasants. In any case, it wasn't as if they were going to do anything to people, and if they couldn't kill them, they would agree. But who knew that things would get out of hand and cause a conflict between the two villages?

It was also because of Second Fool's and the others' bad luck. Originally, they thought that with Chen Er's family's small population, as long as they had a weak character, they could be easily bullied.

If not for Chen Xiao running over to Old Village Head for help, they would have definitely succeeded in what happened today. However, thinking of the culprit who caused them to suffer such a large blow — Liang Xiu Cai's mother, the Guo family, Second Fool and the others were furious.

Not only were they rude and unreasonable, but they also had some brains. If it wasn't for the money, they wouldn't have done such a vile thing. After all, it was very unkind of them to send someone to ruin the girl's reputation just because they didn't want to be engaged.

Of course, who told them to all have the surname Liang? As a member of the Liang Family Village, this idiot knew that what he did was wrong, but what was damaged was the reputation of the Chen Village, so the guilt in their hearts lessened by a bit.

"Don't worry, this matter was caused by us. One person is responsible for doing this, and it has nothing to do with Liang Village. We'll just admit defeat." Second Fool said.

Luo Qiuyun saw that he was quite stubborn. However, she knew better than to come along with a group of people to bully a weak girl. Hence, she did not have a good impression of him and even felt some disgust towards him.

"Since that's the case, then scram. Our Chen Village does not welcome you, so do not come again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." Old Village Head suddenly said seriously.

Hearing these warnings, Second Fool didn't say anything more and led his men away dejectedly.

"The matter is done, everyone can go now. Chen Xiao, help your sister into the house. I have something to discuss with your parents." Old Village Head probably knew that because of what happened today, Chen Xiao's cousin's future days wouldn't be good, so he wanted to help her.

"Yes, Village Chief." Chen Xiao might be young, but he was very sensible and smart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of asking the village head to represent him. Now that the village head had said this, he knew that the village head wanted to protect his own cousin, so he was happy to listen to him.

After that, there was no longer any excitement to watch. Luo Qiuyun brought the two little girls and followed everyone back home.

He had thought that this matter would end here, but after a few days, he heard that Chen Xiao's cousin had committed suicide, and the matter had gotten out of hand.

Luo Qiuyun wasn't very clear about the details. After all, it was none of her business, and Luo Qiuyun had no intention of gossiping about it. It was only on the second day when Old Village Head came to lock the door that Luo Qiuyun had no choice but to take the matter seriously.

"Qiuyun, Tianli, this old man knows that you two are good people, so I came here to beg for your help." Old Village Head said embarrassedly.

Seeing that Luo Qiuyun and her sister did not interrupt them, she continued, "You guys should have heard of the things that happened in the village a few days ago. Chen Jing is also a poor person, her parents are no longer around, and she lived with her uncle and aunt. Her uncle and aunt did not mean well, but in the end, she is not her own child, and is also a girl.

"Ahh, she's also a sinner. I have no other choice. This child is also a suicidal person. So, I wanted to ask, can you all buy her? It's also good to be a hero in the future! " Old Village Head pleaded.

Luo Qiuyun frowned slightly. Although she wasn't sure what happened, but according to what Old Village Head said, there must be something wrong with it. As for whether or not they buy it, although she had Old Village Head's pleas for mercy, she still had to figure it out and not cause any trouble for herself.

Therefore, Luo Qiuyun said directly, "Village Chief, we should at least give some face to you, but you know, even if we siblings are here to buy her, we need to know the reason behind it. Otherwise, if anything happens in the future, we won't be able to afford it."

Hearing that, how could Old Village Head not know what they were worried about? Thus, he told them the whole story.
