Chapter 233: Obediently Wait for Death

“Okay, okay, I’ll go now. Chief, please wait for me. I’ll be back in a while.” After Xue Dagui finished speaking, he ran off to see his father, Xue Da.

He had always placed his father first.

“There’s no rush. You must talk to your father properly. Anger is harmful to the body. Your father is already old, so don’t get angry and cause him to become agitated.” Chief Lu shouted at Xue Dagui.

Xue Dagui had already run far away, but he still heard Chief Lu’s loud voice. He answered without turning his head, “I know, I know. I’ll go to your house to find you after I’m done visiting my father.”

Xue Gouzi also hurriedly followed.

“Chief, let’s go!” Xue Dafu and the others looked at Chief Lu.

“We don’t need that many people to report to the authorities,” Chief Lu said. “Just Dagui and I will do it.”

“Chief, let’s get some more people to go with you. If Chen Laoba and Zhang Meili knew that you went to report this to the authorities, they would die. Would they just wait for their deaths? They will definitely stop you in case something happens.

“‘Besides, Chen Laoba has eight brothers. Their parents are still healthy. Chen Laoba is the most doted on by his parents. They won’t let you report their baby to the authorities. It’s just a precaution to bring us there.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Sihu is right.” The others agreed.

“That’s a good idea.” Chief Lu said. “Then Sihu, you, Erhu, and Dafu can come with us. And for Darong, you, and Xue Wen. Dahua, you and Xueju. You’re all relatives of Dagui, so you must make this trip. Make sure you stay vigilant.”

Xue Dafu, Xue Darong, Xue Dahua, and the others all said, “We will.”

“Zhuangniu will come too. He can take on two people by himself.” Chief Lu added. Then, he pointed at a few young and strong men in the crowd and asked them to go with him.

Those young and strong people were also willing to go to such a big event.

On a larger scale, this involved three villages. One was Locust Village, the other was the village where Zhang Meili’s maiden family came from, and the last was Chen Village. In their village, Xue Dagui was the victim. They were doing this so that others wouldn’t look down on their village and think that they had no one left to bully the people from their village.

They could already see how difficult it would be for the girls from Zhang Meili’s village to get married in the future.

Zhang Meili was married out of that village.

Zhang Meili was really a troublemaker for doing such a thing.

The men who were not called out all said, “Chief, if something happens on the road, let someone come back quickly to report. Let Sihu come and report it. He’s always smart. We’ll go there immediately.”

“Alright!” Chief Lu agreed. He also had this thought in mind when he asked Xue Sihu to come along. “Then, everyone should go back first. Hurry up and have lunch. Later, the people who follow me to the county office to report to the officials will come to my house. We will wait for Dagui and go together.”

“Alright.”

Everyone dispersed just like that.

Liu Guixia and the others served rice to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, but they didn’t eat. Instead, they closed the courtyard door and went to their uncle’s house to see their grandfather, Xue Da.

At first, Xue Da was really angry, but after thinking about it, Xue Zhuzi was a black-hearted person. It was better if he wasn’t his biological grandson.

The old man could figure it out on his own, so he didn’t need Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s comfort.

When Xue Dagui ran over, Xue Da was talking to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
