It's too much of a rip-off

  After Da Gou's "seventh day" was over, Zhai Wang came to Er Gou's house with his hands clasped behind his back. Er Gou's father saw Zhai Wang coming and knew he wanted to talk to Er Gou about something, so he found an excuse to leave.

  Er Gou poured a cup of tea for Zhai Wang and sat down opposite him.

  "Zhai Wang, thank you for your trouble with my brother's matter. However, I don't understand why you didn't let my sister-in-law send him up the mountain? You and I used to have a grudge, but I've long since put those things behind me. Are you still holding onto resentment?"

  "Second brother, am I that kind of person? You actually think I didn't let your sister-in-law send your older brother to the mountain because I intentionally let him get married and was taking revenge on you?"

  The village chief looked at Er Gou with a smile on his face.

  "What's it for?"

  "For your family. To be exact, for you, and for your wife."

  "If you really care about us, you should let her send my brother up the mountain and cut off her idea of remarriage!"

  "If she doesn't remarry, your family will be at peace? How old is your sister-in-law? She's not bad-looking, and she's been a widow at home. Men won't have designs on her? That household has many troubles! In the future, if she wants to secretly get along with someone, do you care or not?"

  "It's her private business, what can I do about it? Secretly loving whoever she wants is up to her, at least she brought my nephew and stayed in our house. In any case, it's better than taking my nephew away with her when she gets married!"

  "Why must she take your nephew with her when she marries another man? Can't she rely on you with the child?" The village chief looked into Er Gou's eyes.

  "What does it mean? Speak clearly!" Er Gou also looked at Zhan Wang.

  "What I mean is, your sister-in-law can marry you and you two can live together."

  "You're going too far!" Er Gou stood up.

  "I'm doing it for your family's sake!" The village chief sat still, his eyes still fixed on Er Gou.

  "Get out! Scram! Otherwise, I'll dig you to death with a single spade, you turtle egg!" Er Gou glared at the bandit chief.

  "Why are you still so excited? You're not a young man of over ten years ago, calm down for me!" The village chief still didn't move.

  "Can't you get out? Do I have to take action myself?" Er Gou's face turned menacing.

  "We're not without our moves, you may have been a soldier, but ordinary people aren't your match. However, Chief Wang's methods are something you've experienced before!" Chief Wang remained seated.

  "Don't think that just because Village King taught you some Three-Legged Cat kung fu, I'm afraid of you! Are you not leaving?"

  "I'm not leaving today! What can you do?" The village chief glared with wide eyes.

  "He's too much of a bully!" Er Gou picked up a long bench and charged at Zhai Wang.

  The village chief indeed fulfilled the saying "slow in speech, quick in action". As soon as he stood up, the stool he was sitting on suddenly flew up, already higher than his own head. The second villain's stool came over and hit the stool that the village chief had raised with both hands.

  With a "bang", Er Gou's stool bounced back, and then Zhang Wang's bench rushed over horizontally. Er Gou fell to the ground, and Zhang Wang threw down his stool and pressed Er Gou down.

  "Second Dog, you also know that just now if I had used the stool to poke at you vertically, you would have been dead!" The bandit king's hand movement changed and he grabbed Second Dog's collar: "You get up and sit properly to listen to me speak, I am truly thinking of your family's well-being!"

  It turned out that Zhai Wang, although not standing, had long been prepared for battle. As he sat there, his right hand grasped an equiangular shape. When Er Gou made his move, with a swift motion, the hand holding the stool lifted it into the air, and the other hand immediately followed, blocking Er Gou's attack. With a quick push, Er Gou was caught off guard and couldn't help but fall to the ground.

  The two bandits were subdued by Wang in just a few seconds and had no choice but to sit on the bench, panting heavily.

  The village chief sat down on the stool after pressing Er Gou onto it, then picked up the stool and returned to his original seat.

  "I've already spoken to your father about this. He agreed, and allowed me to take on your responsibilities. Yet you still remain so obstinate!" the village chief said sternly.

  "You, have you spoken with my father? Has he agreed?"

  The village chief nodded.

  "Why didn't you tell me earlier that my father had already agreed?"

  "Let me tell you, you'll be impulsive too! You say it! Are you willing to let your sister-in-law take your nephew away to marry elsewhere, or will you and your sister-in-law work together to carry on this family?"

  "What would people say? How would they look at me? No way. Absolutely no way."

  Zhai Wang had already seen through Er Gou's mind. So he repeated what he said to Er Gou's father to him again.

  The tone of voice became slower and slower during the listening process.

  "Your union with your sister-in-law is a reasonable and lawful thing, what are you worried about? Do you look down on your sister-in-law?"

  "No, no. Even if I agreed, my sister-in-law she, if she didn't agree, how would I face my sister-in-law in the future?" Er Gou said with his head down.

  "I've already thought about this for you, so don't worry. You have no opinion on it now, that's good. Tomorrow I'll do the work of being your sister-in-law. Just pretend you don't know anything about it, okay?"

  "Alright! I know, it's also hard for me to get a daughter-in-law. Marrying another woman and helping her raise children is not as good as raising my nephew." Er Gou raised his head and smiled.

  "You can still have children with your sister-in-law. When the time comes, I'll drink at your wedding as a father. If your sister-in-law agrees, after your brother turns 49, you two can get married and obtain a marriage certificate."

  "Thank you, Chief Wang. I was thinking with a petty mind and measuring your noble heart. Sorry." Er Gou looked at Chief Wang with embarrassment.

  "We two are not on good terms! In the future, you won't resent me, Zhang Wang, for giving you a slap today!"

  "No, no!"

  "Alright, I'm leaving!"

  "Come on! I'll fry some dried fish and we can have a few drinks. You won't mind the lack of dishes, will you?" Er Gou said with a smile.

  "Alright! Let's have a few drinks! You and your father both agree on this matter. As for your sister-in-law, I guarantee that I will get the job done, once or twice if needed. For the sake of your family, I'll be patient." Village King said with a smile.

  "My dad knew it early, he went out on purpose! Village king, you go to the door and ask my dad to come in, you chat. I'll cook rice and stir-fry vegetables." Er Gou said as she got up to cook.

  The village chief arrived at the gate, and Second Brother was just thinking of poking his head in to take a look. He looked at the village chief with a smile as he came out, smiling and asking: "Is it done?"

  "It's done."

  "I heard you guys fighting inside and I almost couldn't help but rush over to scold him." Er Gou said with a smile.

  "It's all right. I won't hurt Er Gouzi." said Zhai Wang with a smile.

  "When the King of the Village was young, his kung fu skills were impressive. At that time, the people in the village were more barbaric than when you entered the village. Four men refused to submit to him as the King of the Village and surrounded him together. He quickly defeated them with a few punches and kicks, then pulled each one up from the ground. Wow! It was all over in the blink of an eye!"

  "Come on in and talk, come on in and talk." Village King said, pulling Er Gou's hand.

  "I later heard people say that Village King Wang was already wandering the jianghu at the age of thirteen!"
