“Village Chief, you can’t be biased. Otherwise, I’ll curse your ancestors until they won’t even be able to reincarnate!” Grandma Gou Dan was so caught up in cursing that she unknowingly crossed a line, but it was too late for regrets.
Li Youcai was so angry that he grabbed what was closest – a porcelain jar – and hurled it at Grandma Gou Dan. The jar missed, crashing into the ground before her. “Who do you think you are? Do you dare to say that again?”
Wang Chunyan was also furious. “No one in the Trinity Village dares to course our Li family’s ancestors!” Who didn’t know the origin of the Trinity Village? The Li family’s ancestor was the first to settle in the area, turning it into one of the most populated villages. How else could Li Youcai have become the village chief? Those who could become village chiefs were in the upper echelons of their community, leading the village and overseeing the fields.
“I… I have a potty mouth.” Grandma Gou Dan regretted her words. While she did not think much of Su Wen, the same could not be said for the village chief. She did not want to offend him.
“Yes, you do. You didn’t lose much having chicken excrement stuffed into your mouth. I think you deserved it. If your mouth isn’t going to spout anything intelligible in the human tongue, you might as well sew it shut.” Li Youcai was scary when he got angry. As the village chief, he held great sway and the highest prestige in all mundane affairs of the community. A word from him was enough to convince most villagers to listen.
Wang Chunyan was so outraged that she threw a rolling pin at Grandma Gou Dan. “I let you curse me to your heart’s content even though I’ve never offended you… So why are you cursing everyone else now?”
Grandma Gou Dan was so old her hair had gone all white, yet she still had the time and energy to find trouble with Su Wen. Now, she had offended Li Youcai, an iron block she should never have kicked.
Such was the scene which greeted Su Wen when she entered. “What’s going on?
Why are they fighting?”
Su Wen was secretly happy. Fight! What a good tight it was looking to be!
Wang Chunyan explained the situation to Su Wen, leaving the latter dumbfounded. She looked at Grandma Gou Dan with unreserved admiration, not knowing what to say.
To think Grandma Gou Dan would have the nerve to curse the village chief and his ancestors!
Was Grandma Gou Dan oblivious to Hengyang’s intention of building a good relationship with the village chief?
At least she did not have to face Grandma Gou Dan alone now that she had attracted the attention of someone she could not afford to offend.
“Out, out!” Wang Chunyan seethed. Seeing her husband’s expression turning for the worse, she immediately chased Grandma Gou Dan out, saying, “If I hear you cursing in the village again, I’ll force you to eat chicken poop myself!”
With the nuisance out of the way, Wang Chunyan gave Su Wen a look of approval and praised, “Little Wen, you did well. How you dealt with Grandma Gou Dan is exactly how you should deal with people like her.”
Su Wen smiled stiffly, guilt weighing on her conscience. She had not asked Little Sister Su to do as she did. She was innocent! What happened resulted from a whim on her younger sister’s part. If anything, her younger sister deserved the praise, not her.
Grandma Gou Dan had stormed to the village chief’s residence, hoping to make Su Wen pay for what she did. Yet, Grandma Gou Dan managed to offend the village chief before she even arrived. As one- third of the village bore the surname Li, Grandma Gou Dan’s only hope for shelter would be with her daughter-in-law.
Wang Chunyan’s anger abated with Grandma Gou Dan’s departure. “Little Wen, there’s nothing you need to be afraid of. That old woman has had a lesson coming for her for a long time now.” Wang Chunyan decided to spread the word of Grandma Gou Dan’s words to the rest of the village.
“Ah. Thank you, Aunty.”
‘You’re most welcome. We’re all family.”
Su Wen stayed behind to chat with Wang Chunyan for a while before the latter took her leave. Li Youcai regarded Su Wen with a complicated look. He could not take it lying down when he thought about how his ancestors had been cursed by Grandma Gou Dan and knowing Su Wen’s part in the whole debacle.
Su Wen was too good at causing trouble.
It had only been a few days since Hengyang left. How had she managed to stir up so much trouble so soon?
The moment Hengyang left, problems cropped up like mushrooms springing from the dirt. Should he keep quiet about what had happened? No. Li Youcai decided he needed to inform Hengyang. Otherwise, who knew what would happen next?
Hence, Li Youcai cycled to the post office in town, paid some money to use their phone, and called Zhou Hengyang..
