Du Wenjin saw that Chunmei’s mother looked like she was going to keep on pestering endlessly so he said imposingly, “Even if this news has spread through the village, we still need to make sure it doesn’t spread to other villages. Having Chunmei find a husband in the neighboring villages is all the same!”
Her own unmarried daughter did this. Just because he didn’t say it out loud clearly didn’t mean he was an idiot. He wasn’t going to ignore what’s right and what’s wrong and have Ye Ling take responsibility!
The imposing Du Wenjin gave Chunmei’s mother a fright and she immediately shut up.
This improved Liu Duo’s image of Du Wenjin and she found him to be quite a good village chief. He was always thinking of what was best for his villagers.
Du Wenjin remembered that he had other things to do and he said, “This issue ends here. I have other things to attend to so I’ll be going now.”
As he spoke, he nodded towards Ye Yang and the others and then headed towards the yard door.
Li Chunmei still hadn’t recovered from Ye Mo’s hateful gaze and fierce words towards her. Her heart was completely shattered all over the floor.
“What are you guys doing here!?” Du Wenjin asked when he walked out the door and saw all the villagers who were listening in on the ruckus.
One of the villagers smiled and said, “We aren’t doing anything, just getting ready to chop the bamboo. Did Chunmei really set a trap for the fourth brother of the Ye family?”
When Du Wenjin heard him, he said to them, “Don’t mention or discuss this topic anymore. If I catch anyone talking about this then get prepared to pay a few more packs of grain as tax this year!”
He already made himself clear so the villagers naturally understood. They all nodded to show they wouldn’t talk about this anymore.
The village chief had already left but the mother and daughter pair still didn’t have enough self-awareness to leave on their own. Ye Mo chased them out and said, “Are the two of you still not going to get out. Do you want me to beat you guys up before you leave?!”
“Ye Mo, you dare to touch me? Go ahead and try. Don’t think just because the village chief said this matter is over that it will just go away with no conclusion. You guys wait and see!”
Chunmei’s mother wiped her tears away and stared at Ye Mo while still looking arrogant and overbearing.
Let her own daughter marry into a neighboring village? For what reason!
Upon hearing her, Ye Liu couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with her. He stood up and went to get a broom straight away and swept towards them.
“Time to sweep the floor. Unsightly things should be swept away, otherwise it would affect one’s mood and could even more so affect one’s appetite!”
“Ahh… Ye Liu, you dare to hit people…”
“I am clearly sweeping the floor. With which eyes did you see me hit people?” Ye Liu interrupted her while smiling brightly.
At this time, Li Chunmei regained her senses. She looked at Ye Mo and tears kept falling out. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Mo shouted at her.
“What are you looking at? I never thought you were such a shameless person and that you would do something so shameless! So disgusting.” He even spat in contempt as he spoke.
She could no longer stand having the person she liked say such things to her. Her face full of tears, she turned around and ran out.
Upon seeing this, Chunmei’s mother shouted, “Chunmei, what are you running for. Come back quickly. We won’t leave today until Ye Ling takes responsibility!”
Won’t leave?
Ye Mo immediately went forward and gave her a kick. “I will kick you to death if you don’t leave. You want Ling to take responsibility? Stop f**king dreaming!”
The villagers who were there to join in the ruckus saw Li Chunmei run out while crying. They all looked at each other and then left.
The main character had already left so, naturally, there was nothing left to see.
“Oh my. Ye Mo, you damn brat. You dare to kick me? Just you guys wait, I won’t let you guys get away with this.”
She wanted to go report it to the officials. She definitely must go report it to the officials!
Chunmei’s mother cast a glance at them before turning around and running after Li Chunmei. If she stayed behind, she would just be beaten up. She was by herself and was no match for Ye Yang and the others.
Even if only one of them was there, she was only just a woman and she wouldn’t be a match for him either!
