Old Doctor Ji should have finished his work. However, the two people had fought fiercely. They were probably still in pain and didn't seem to be leaving immediately.
After taking a short break, the village head's wife started nagging and scolding the village head again.
"Are you so great? You even wanted to divorce me? I think you're just drunk and don't know who you are anymore!"
The village head's face turned bright red with anger. He wanted to retort but held back because Old Doctor Ji was right beside them. He glanced at the doctor and said nothing.
Old Doctor Ji knew there was something going on between the couple, so he pretended not to hear and walked away with the medicine tray.
Just as he opened the door, he bumped into Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan, who were sneaking around. He stared at them with wide eyes.
"What are you two doing here?"
Yun Que'er was startled and didn't dare to say a word.
Fortunately, Ji Chengxuan reacted quickly and immediately pulled Old Doctor Ji aside.
"It's okay. We just wanted to watch the show. Dad, you go and do your own thing."
Old Doctor Ji couldn't help but laugh and cry. "You two naughty kids. What's so interesting about the village head's business?"
"Who asked him to always act so high - and - mighty." Ji Chengxuan pouted. "Dad, just let us listen for a while. You go and do whatever you need to do."
Old Doctor Ji shook his head helplessly. Kids just loved to watch the show. If they wanted to listen, let them. So he carried the medicine tray and went to the back room.
Yun Que'er let out a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, Old Doctor Ji didn't ask too many questions. Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain.
"You reacted really fast!"
"Of course." Ji Chengxuan said without any modesty.
"Stop talking. Hurry up and listen to what's going on inside."
Yun Que'er held her breath, afraid of missing any word the village head said inside.
Everyone in the village knew that his wife was tough. Although the village head had some complaints about this, most of the time, he was overpowered by his wife and basically didn't dare to say a single word of opposition.
But today, he actually hit her. It seemed that there was something big going on.
Although Yun Que'er didn't know the reason, she had wanted to take down the village head for a long time. If she could catch the village head's weakness this time, she must make him suffer a big setback.
Only when he knew the consequences would he be more well - behaved in the future.
When the village head saw that Old Doctor Ji had left, he said to his wife angrily,
"I just went out for an afternoon. It's not the first time. Instead of talking nicely, you even hit me. What kind of person are you? Look at which other wife is like you!"
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan glanced at each other and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
So it was just because of this. His wife had quite a temper.
"Who knows if you've been seduced by some vixen!" The village head's wife scolded persistently. "Don't think I don't know about your affair with Widow Wang from the neighboring village!"
"What's wrong with me and her?" The village head got anxious. "We were just classmates before. Her husband died, and as a woman, she can't do heavy work. I just helped her carry some water. How come it seems so dirty in your eyes? What's in your head!"
The village head's wife snorted coldly, obviously not believing the village head's explanation.
"Oh, I haven't seen anyone else carry water for her. The village head of her own village didn't even care about this, but you were so eager to go and help. You're so good at protecting women. Why haven't I seen you do any housework? You went to see Widow Wang even in rain and snow. You still dare to say there's nothing going on between you two!"
"We're innocent!" The village head stood up in a hurry, accidentally twisted his waist, and couldn't help but take a sharp breath. He let out a groan.
He rubbed the injured area. After a long while, he said angrily,
"Think whatever you want. Anyway, there's nothing going on! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll really divorce you!"
"Fine!" The village head's wife was so angry that she threw the palm - leaf fan at him. It hit him right on the head. "You don't want to live with me anymore? Okay, let's divide the family tomorrow! Back then, your family was so poor that the house leaked. This house was rebuilt with my father's money. The kitchen stove, the kang, the wardrobe for clothes, oh, and the sewing machine, all of them were my dowry! Plus the money my father spent on you over the years, you should pay it all back!"
The village head's wife crossed her arms and looked at the village head with disdain.
She was confident and wasn't afraid of the village head at all.
Seeing the village head stuttering and unable to say a word, his wife became even more complacent.
"Also, back then, in order to help you become the village head, my father spent a full 500 yuan. That was a lot of money back then! You pay it all back to me! As long as you do, I'll go back to my mother's place immediately and live with my mother!"
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan outside both widened their eyes in surprise. They didn't expect that the village head's position was bought.
They had been wondering before. The village head was neither talented nor virtuous, and some people in the village were dissatisfied with him. How could he hold his position for so many years?
It turned out that he had bribed the superiors early on, so he hadn't been removed.
Catching the village head's weakness, Yun Que'er couldn't help cheering silently in her heart.
She had been worrying about not having any evidence against the village head. Now it just fell into her hands! And it was his wife who said it. There couldn't be any mistake!
This village head who never considered the villagers' interests was just waiting to step down!
Hearing his wife talking without restraint, the village head stared at her and told her to shut up immediately.
"The money was spent by your father. Do you think you can get away with it? If you dare to let others know about this, our whole family will be ruined! If you don't want me to be happy, then don't expect to live a comfortable life in the future!"
"My father has been dead for many years. Isn't that what you said?" The village head's wife was so angry that she laughed. "Yes, my father did bribe the superior leaders to help you get the position. But my father is dead. Are they going to dig him out of the grave? Even if there's a loss, it's your problem, not mine!"
"Are you stupid?!" The village head scolded angrily. "Your father is dead, but do you think the food and drinks our family has had over the years came from nowhere? And the money you've saved, isn't it all because of me? If you really dare to expose me, all that money will be confiscated. You'll just wait to starve! What evil did I do in my previous life to marry a wife as stupid as a pig!"
The village head's wife was stunned. Was there really such a thing?
"Are you scaring me?"
"Why would I scare you?" The village head waved his hand angrily. "If you don't believe it, go ahead and try. Anyway, it'll be the two of us who will be locked up in the end! If you're looking for trouble, just wait to go to jail!"
The village head's wife seemed a bit panicked and didn't say a word for a long time.
The two people outside were getting impatient. Keep talking! Why did they stop?
