Chapter 323 Eating soft food
"That's right, this scolding is so satisfying. Let Luo Jing'an also have a taste of being stabbed in the back!" An old man stroked his beard, grinned from ear to ear, and kept cheering for Ma Ergun.
"Brother Ma Er is so awesome! We should scold him like this to let him know that we villagers are not easy to bully!" Another shout came from the crowd, and everyone cast approving glances at Ma Ergun.
Xiuying quietly walked down the watchtower, her steps light and her expression solemn, thinking to herself: For now, it is safest and most beneficial for the village to delay time like this and try to avoid direct conflict with the government.
Then, she quickened her pace and called Mrs. Sun, Aunt Li, Aunt Wu, and even Tian Guilan, who usually didn't like to participate in village affairs and liked to make trouble, to the lookout tower.
"Mrs. Sun, come with me!"
"Aunt Li, stop busying yourself, there's something urgent!"
"Auntie Wu, hurry to the lookout to help!"
"Tian Guilan, you are indispensable this time!"
The village chief, Li Shenghui and Yang Qingfeng were replaced and rested aside temporarily, preparing to deal with any possible situation that might arise next.
Mother Yang and several older women were busy working together. They gathered together and methodically prepared the ingredients for making dumplings.
Several large round tables were placed in the village's open space. These tables, normally the gathering places for villagers, now served as makeshift kitchens. On the tables lay several large pots of fresh pork, its flesh rosy and distinctly textured.
All of this pork was bought and placed by Xiuying in advance from the system. The leg meat was 16 yuan per catty, and she bought catties in total. Pork that is half fat and half lean is best for making dumplings. Meat that is too lean will taste tough.
The women skillfully washed the pork carefully with clean water, then picked up a heavy kitchen knife and chopped the pork rhythmically.
The minced pork was placed in a large basin, and then the tender green leeks were washed, chopped, and mixed into the pork. Their hands kept stirring, allowing the pork and leeks to fully blend and emit an enticing aroma.
The four women who were suddenly called to stand on the observation deck were a little at a loss. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing panic and confusion.
Tian Guilan was standing aside. She had originally wanted to watch the fun, but now she was confused and tugged at the corner of her clothes in a panic.
When the lawyer saw this, he burst into laughter, his laughter was sharp and piercing.
"Hahahaha, this is a remote place after all. Look, even these old cucumbers have been called up!" The lawyer laughed and pointed at them, his face full of sarcasm and contempt.
"Four old cucumbers, are you obsessed with me and want to warm my bed?" The lawyer became more and more arrogant, and his words became more and more vulgar. He twisted his body and made a disgusting gesture.
"Looking at you, you are old and not qualified to warm the bed, but you can still use the chamber pot! Hahaha!" The lawyer laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out.
The lackeys around him also laughed, and the laughter filled the air, full of malice and insults.
When the four women heard the unbearable words from the lawyer, they were instantly ignited with anger.
Mrs. Sun's eyes widened, her hands on her hips, and she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Who are you scolding, you green-eyed wolf? Look at your sharp-nosed, monkey-faced face!"
Not to be outdone, Aunt Li took a step forward, pointed at the lawyer's nose and cursed, "You're so small you'd fall over at the slightest gust of wind, and yet you're still so arrogant! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
Aunt Wu's face flushed with anger. She waved her fists and yelled, "Those little arms and legs of yours are just for show. They're strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I, an old woman, can't stand them! What the hell are they?"
Tian Guilan hadn't wanted to get involved, but now she was completely enraged. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Shut your stinking mouth! You shameless old bastard, you're half buried in the earth, be careful of retribution!"
The four women cursed at each other like a machine gun, leaving the lawyer stunned and his face turning pale and blue.
Luo Jingan's lackeys looked at their master's embarrassed expression and couldn't help laughing secretly. Some of them covered their mouths with their hands, their shoulders shaking constantly; some turned away and laughed quietly.
Luo Jingan was immediately enraged upon seeing this scene, and shouted, "Stop arguing, you bitch! I came here with sincerity, don't make trouble here!"
"I meant well, but you are so rude. Do you really think I have no temper?" Luo Jing'an swung the fan in his hand fiercely.
Mrs. Sun narrowed her eyes, looked Luo Jing'an up and down, then curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Are you the unfaithful man? Humph, I thought you were so good-looking, but you turned out to be like this! With a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, you don't look like a good person!"
Mrs. Sun crossed her arms over her chest, a look of disgust on her face and eyes full of contempt. Today she wanted to vent Shi Liu's anger.
Aunt Li also echoed this sentiment. She shook her head and said with a tut-tut sound, "I originally thought he would be a good-looking man who could live off me. But I didn't expect him to be any better looking than the guy herding cattle in the next village! What a waste of that official uniform!"
As Aunt Li spoke, she pointed at Luo Jingan, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper with anger.
Tian Guilan couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes curved into crescents. "Maybe our county magistrate is 'capable' in other aspects, otherwise how could he do such a shameless thing!"
After hearing these words, Luo Jingan's face became even uglier, turning pale and blue, but he didn't know how to refute.
Luo Jing'an was so angry that he could only curse: "You are a bunch of unruly people. You are insulting the imperial officials! You are simply lawless!" He stomped his feet in anger, pointed at the women with trembling fingers, and his face turned ashen.
Aunt Li put her hands on her hips and cried out, "Oh my god!" "Why do you think Lord Luo can use his power to bully others just because he can't win? If you have the guts, just talk some sense!" Aunt Li was not afraid at all, but became even more confident.
Ma Ergun also took the opportunity to say, "Lord Luo, why are you still serious with a group of women? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it? Look at you, as a county magistrate, but you are so petty. It will not be good if it gets out!" Ma Ergun had a wicked smile on his face and spoke in a deliberately sarcastic tone.
The lawyer's face flushed with anger, veins popping out on his forehead. He said angrily, "Sir, these are a bunch of ignorant and unruly people! They are completely lawless and have no regard for the law!"
"In my opinion, these unruly people are about to rebel! They have evil intentions and are trying to resist the government. My Lord, why don't you arrest them all, throw them in jail, and teach them a lesson? Let them know how powerful we are!"
