Chapter 256: Chapter 254: Shameless Old Man Li, Mighty Miao Cuihua
Old Man Li rolled quickly on the ground, tucking his legs in to dodge the crowd.
The crowd before him formed a circle, with people pointing and laughing at his wet pants wherever he tried to burst through.
He was like a rat crossing the street, everyone was shouting to hit him!
“You…you…make way! Make way!”
Having wet pants in the snowy weather was not fun; at first it was warm, but within a moment it turned into a cold and icy lump, apparently about to freeze, which amused the crowd even more.
“Hey hey! Old Man Li, weren’t you boasting about how great you are? I see how ‘great’ you are now! Is it stiff, huh? What do you all think?” Miao Cuihua’s loud voice came again.
“Yes!——” There was another round of ridicule from the crowd.
But the wrathful Old Man Li did not surrender as a result.
Seeing that he couldn’t break free, he straightened his neck stubbornly: “If you dare, take off your pants and let this old man have a go, to see if this old man still has his edge!”
This sentence was said to Miao Cuihua, but it shocked everyone present.
No matter what, there were so many young girls and women present, people would usually avoid such speech…
The Land Officer hurriedly came to the grain-drying field upon hearing the news. He happened to hear Old Man Li’s sentence and was immediately enraged!
He picked up his crutch and gave Old Man Li several heavy blows, hitting him continuously without discrimination.
“You shameless old man! You have ruined the reputation of the Upper Village! Get out! Get out of the Upper Village! If I see you again, I’ll break your other leg too!”
Others might dare to confront the Land Officer, but Old Man Li didn’t dare.
Thump!
He fell directly to his knees at the feet of the Land Officer, clutching his robe: “Mr. Land Officer! Look at this old and lame man, these villagers are ganging up to bully an old man, Mr. Land Officer, you must stand up for me!”
He was crying and howling, rubbing his tears and snot on the Land Officer’s brand new robe, causing the crowd to feel bad for the Land Officer.
The corners of the Land Officer’s mouth twitched nonstop, he was clearly furious! He roared at the crowd behind him.
“Are you all deaf? Don’t just stand there, drag this man away and throw him out of the Upper Village!”
When Mr. Land Officer spoke, naturally nobody dared to defy him. Two young men quickly came out of the crowd, one on each side, and dragged Old Man Li out of the Upper Village.
“No! Mr. Land Officer, I was wrong, I made a mistake, please spare me this time! Mr. Land Officer…”
The surroundings were incredibly quiet, with no one speaking.
The Land Officer glanced at everyone, then looked up at Liu Sisi, and finally let out a long sigh.
“Sisi! What’s your view on this matter?” The Land Officer suddenly asked her.
Liu Sisi looked up at the crowd around her. The Land Officer was hinting at her! With a quiet sigh, she stepped forward and bowed.
“Mr. Land Officer, in Sisi’s view, although Old Man Li was good-for-nothing when he was young, stealing and breaking one leg, and then poorly bringing up his son who annoyed his mother to death, and later framed others for murder, he only ended up risking his own life. Now only Old Man Li is left. At his old age, being forced to have a child via surrogacy is truly tragic and lamentable. I hope Mr. Land Officer can spare him this time, considering his old and frail condition.”
Liu Sisi gave a long speech, which was quite a mouthful.
