Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 111 - 111 111 Incitement

?Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Incitement Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Incitement Li Dashan saw that people were coming and pointed at Bai Xiao, saying, “You… you dared to hit me… I won’t let you leave Liu Family Fortress today, just you wait.” Wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, he spoke vehemently. Now that there were more people, Li Dashan felt emboldened; after all, people from the same village wouldn’t stand by and watch him being bullied, and, no matter what, Bai Xiao was still an outsider.

This was a deep-seated instinct to defend one’s own, something every village shared.

“Folks, my fellow villagers, look how domineering the people from Liupan Village are. Bai Yue sends her sister, my little sister-in-law, to hit me, her brother-in-law! Look what they’ve done to me. I’m telling you, Bai Yue, I want a divorce, and don’t think you’ll get a penny from me. Just because of her malicious behavior, I can’t keep her. Just look, the people from Liupan Village are bullying us from Liu Family Fortress like this. If this continues, won’t our people from Liu Family Fortress be bullied to death when they go out? And our daughters and daughters-in-law, how can they stand tall? If you’re from Liu Family Fortress, go deal with them!” Although Li Dashan wasn’t capable, his mind was quick.

This even incited the village’s unity. He tried to escalate a domestic matter to another level. After all, it’s hard to defy the anger of the masses. Once the entire village’s people rose to attack, the law wouldn’t hold the crowd accountable, and Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan would really end up in trouble without any way out.

The crowd was confused; they hadn’t seen what had happened clearly. They had just entered the courtyard, knew nothing about what had happened inside, and then heard Li Dashan say this. Some, whose minds were more straightforward, really thought Bai Xiao and others had come to bully Li Dashan, and this sense of shared enmity was deeply ingrained; they rolled up their sleeves, ready to step in.

Some were more perceptive. Who in the village didn’t know what kind of person Bai Yue was? Kind and upright, a diligent woman. Besides, the Li Family had never treated Bai Yue as one of their own. Usually, it was Li Dashan who beat Bai Yue until her nose was bruised and her face swollen. Who knew what was really happening today?

This kind of thing needed less chaos.

“Let’s see first, just a sister-in-law and a man, even if it’s a fight, how severe could it be? If we don’t ask clearly and it turns out Li Dashan is in the wrong, won’t we be disgracing ourselves for his sake?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped their motions, and those who had rolled up their sleeves felt embarrassed. Yes, one girl and one officer—if they went up to fight, wouldn’t they be the bullies? Besides, people then realized that the man standing by Bai Xiao was a public servant. Just looking at his attire, if they laid hands on him, it would be considered assaulting a leader, who knew what consequences would follow.

Thus, everyone stepped back, exchanging looks. Some wise ones had already started shouting, “Call the village chief! Call the village chief!”

Exactly! This matter needed the village chief to intervene.

The ones with quick legs had already gone to call the village chief.

Bai Xiao, holding Bai Yue’s hand, stepped forward in front of everyone, “Folks, my fellow elders, my name is Bai Xiao, and I am Bai Yue’s sister. I came here today with big bags and small bags to see my elder sister, but who knew that before I even entered the door, I saw this man, who should be my brother-in-law, beating my sister until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. Everyone, look, even if it’s his own wife, can he beat her like this? All of you have daughters; if your own daughter was married into a family and was beaten like this, could you bear to watch?”

The crowd was speechless. If anyone dared to beat their own daughter like that, they would probably have gone to beat up that son-in-law long ago, breaking his legs even. But Li Dashan was from Liu Family Fortress, so they truly couldn’t say much.

“The child at home is so sick he can barely manage, and all my sister asked was for Li Dashan to ask his mother-in-law for some money. Normally, the money my sister and her kids earned from carrying stones was all taken by her mother-in-law. Li Dashan just talked about getting divorced and even said my sister should leave without anything. Is that something you say? My sister has slaved away for this family for so many years and saved this man’s life using her own dowry. He’s not only ungrateful, but he also has the nerve to say such things. Today, in front of everyone, I admit, I hit Li Dashan. But if I hadn’t hit him, I would have let down my sister who carried stones to earn our living expenses. If I hadn’t, I would have let down my deceased parents. If my parents were alive, I believe they would have broken Li Dashan’s legs today too.

Today, in front of everyone, my sister wants to divorce Li Dashan. The money at home was earned by my sister, and she is not unreasonable. She only asks for half, just so she can save my nephew. My sister will take the three children, but of course, if the kids want to stay, we won’t stop them. We just fear that Li Dashan might turn around, remarry, and the kids would suffer. The house and land must be split half with my sister. The marriage law stipulates that in a divorce, the property is divided equally between the spouses. If Li Dashan doesn’t agree, we will have no choice but to sue him. We believe socialistic law protects the good people.”

This speech made everyone step back even more, mainly because of the lawsuit. They didn’t want to stir up trouble and get drawn into a lawsuit.

The simple villagers, upon hearing about a lawsuit, who would want to involve themselves in that?

Seeing the silent crowd, Li Dashan became anxious. Why is everyone so cowardly? Now isn’t the time to stay quiet but to grab that damn girl and beat her to death.

Still letting that damn girl talk?

“You still want to split my property? I tell you, Bai Yue, no way. I want to see who dares to take our family’s property.” Li Dashan had gotten up by now but was still clutching his stomach. Bai Xiao’s kick had been terribly painful. Bai Xiao hadn’t really hit him fatally; if he did use his special ability, Li Dashan could have been crippled.

But with things turning out this way today, Bai Xiao wasn’t stupid. Crippling Li Dashan might make everyone suspect them. Even if they wanted to teach Li Dashan a lesson, now was not the time. Who doesn’t know to seek benefits and avoid harm?

The village chief came running. With such a big incident happening in the village, how could he not show up?

Seeing the state of Li Dashan and Bai Yue, he knew it was a domestic issue, a couple fighting. He immediately said sternly, “Alright, alright! Disperse! What are you gathering around for? Haven’t you seen a couple fight before? Go on, go on, get back to what you should be doing!”

Seeing the village chief say this, the crowd slowly dispersed. After all, thinking about it, when couples fight, they say harsh words but end up making up by the end of the bed.

Village chief Liu Baoshan looked at Li Dashan’s disheveled appearance and was furious. A grown man beaten up by a little sister-in-law, his face bruised, and he still had the nerve to ask people to help him in a fight. What a shame.

Looking at Bai Yue, he was displeased too. A woman’s domestic life seemed so problematic because Bai Yue made him feel embarrassed, leading him to be unkind towards Bai Yue as well.
