But Village Chief Feng had long since regretted it.
Taking in a family of lazy bums, plus that troublemaker Old Lady Chen—Village Chief Feng regretted his initial decision.
However, he was kind-hearted. Even if the Chen family was like mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall, he wouldn't easily drive them out of the village.
Of course, if Old Lady Chen really went to report them to the Public Security Bureau and had someone from the Feng family arrested, he would absolutely drive the Chen family away without a moment's hesitation.
"Uncle Village Chief, my mother won't cause any more trouble. This was my mother's fault. We won't report it, we don't want compensation, and we'll leave right now."
Chen Shengjun was terrified that the Village Chief would get angry and truly kick them out, so he hurriedly helped his mother up and dragged her away.
Before leaving, he cast a subtle glance at Feng Yuanchun.
That look was filled with pain, sorrow, and dejection.
Feng Yuanchun, in turn, grinned mockingly at him and slowly raised her middle finger, pointing it downward.
However, Chen Shengjun didn't understand the gesture.
After the Chen mother and son left, Qiu Guihua looked at Liu Qingqiu and laughed heartily, "Second sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so fierce in a fight once you lost your temper."
Liu Qingqiu was thin-skinned and felt embarrassed, "Eldest sister-in-law, stop making fun of me. I was just so angry that I lashed out."
The three sisters-in-law of the Feng family had always been united; there had never been any backstabbing or petty squabbling between them. Liu Qingqiu had a quiet personality and didn't know how to fight or curse; whenever someone bullied her, the other Feng family women would stand up for her.
This was the first time Liu Qingqiu had ever participated in a fight.
Grandma Feng looked at her daughters-in-law with a dark face and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Hurry up and get to work. If you don't finish your tasks and your work points are deducted, I'll deduct your rations tonight."
"Mother, you say that every time, but I've never seen you let us eat a bite less," Ding Xiaotao said with a giggle.
Grandma Feng was so amused she laughed, "What? Are you dissatisfied with having a charitable mother-in-law like me? Do you want to trade me for a wicked one?"
Ding Xiaotao shook her head quickly, "I definitely don't want a wicked woman as my mother-in-law."
Liu Qingqiu also added, "Mother, being able to have a mother-in-law as good as you is a blessing for me, the eldest sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law. We don't want to trade mothers-in-law."
"Hmph, at least you lot have a conscience."
Grandma Feng smiled.
Village Chief Feng spoke up, "Fifth Sister-in-law, since the Chen family doesn't want to make a scene anymore, let it go. Don't go looking for trouble with them again. If the Chen family tries to use this incident to extort money from your family, I won't allow it."
"She dares?" Grandma Feng's eyes widened. "If she tries to extort money, she'll have to see if I'm willing to give it. Hmph, I think that Old Lady Chen has become increasingly shameless over the years. Seventh, from now on, assign her more dirty and tiring work. I think she's just had it too easy, which is why she's causing trouble everywhere."
Village Chief Feng was the cousin of Grandpa Feng and the seventh in the Feng family hierarchy. He had always respected Grandma Feng, who had raised three sons as a widow, and usually took good care of her.
Therefore, Grandma Feng still gave Village Chief Feng some face.
She dismissed the idea of beating Old Lady Chen every time she saw her.
Yuanchun had thought that since Chen Shengjun was injured, he wouldn't come to bother her for a while. Who would have thought that on her way back after finishing work at noon, she would be intercepted by Chen Shengjun.
Chen Shengjun, sporting a swollen, pig-like face, looked at her with deep affection and said, "Yuanchun, are you still angry with me?"
"I was wrong, I regret it. Yuanchun, let's not break up. From now on, I will never mention breaking up with you again. Please forgive me, can we go back to how we were before?"
*Bang...*
Yuanchun kicked the scumbag away, "Chen Shengjun, it seems you didn't take what I said to heart. I said that every time I see you, I'll beat you once. Since you're so desperate for a beating and insist on seeking attention in front of me, it would be a disservice to your acting skills if I didn't satisfy you."
