Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 325 This wicked woman wants to harm Chang'er!

Granny Niu and Granny Huo also stood up and cheered for their old friend, "That's right, Duoyu, give him a good thrashing, make him remember who he is. Chang'e is willing to feed him, and he still doesn't appreciate it. He deserves a beating!"

"No, no, that's not how it is, please be gentle with your words, ladies!" Seeing her son crying out in pain after being whipped, Li Qiulan hurriedly bowed to the women.

She was originally all bark and no bite; she and her son used to bully everyone in their village, and no one could control them. But things are different now.

They couldn't win against Lin Chang'er, that woman, by arguing with her or by beating her.

After making a scene twice, they gained nothing but more debt.

Now they've been brought to Linshui Village to settle their debts through labor. Although it's called settling debts through labor, the mother and son know the truth in their hearts.

How to offset it?

They couldn't possibly make up for what they'd done for Third Sister in their entire lives, and as for Wang Xing'er, forget about it—maybe in your next life!

Of course, these debts were all schemed against them by that woman Lin Chang'er, so they naturally wouldn't admit it, and don't expect them to actually repay them.

We're only stuck here because we have no other choice.

When they find an opportunity, they must file a serious complaint against this woman.

The best course of action would be to sell this woman into slavery, making her work day and night and suffer the hardship.

Li Qiulan cursed inwardly, but somehow Granny Zhou saw through her.

Grandma Zhou, hands on her hips, said, "Who's your sister-in-law? You're not worthy of the title."

"I can see your eyes darting around, you must not have kept your butt up properly!"

"Duoyu, stop focusing on smoking that bastard's stuff and teach this old hag a lesson too. Make sure she remembers what she was once, no matter who she was, she'd better behave herself in Linshui Village!"

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away!" With a flick of his wrist, Xu Duoyu sent the bamboo stick flying at Li Qiulan.

Li Qiulan covered her head and ran away, crying, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Let's get to work, okay?"

Granny Zhou persisted, "That's unnecessary. Ask her what she was thinking just now. Was she planning to tip off the pirates?"

"What?!" Granny Niu exclaimed, her eyes wide. "They're sending a message to the pirates! They're trying to kill our whole village! That's terrible! We have to tell Chang'er about this!"

Grandma Huo became even more anxious. All the able-bodied men of her clan were fighting pirates in the coastal defense team. If this person went to inform the pirates, it would mean the extermination of her entire clan.

She certainly couldn't agree to that, and nodded, saying, "Sister Niu is right. If someone tips us off, even if we guard against it to the death, it will be useless. That would mean the death of our entire village!"

"Not only that, if our village suffers, how can Zhoujia Village, Xiaoliu Village, and other villages fare any better? These two can't be allowed to live. Let's go, let's go talk to Chang'er." Granny Zhou made the final decision, and then she pulled her two old sisters along.

Li Qiulan was dumbfounded. She was only thinking about taking revenge on Lin Chang'er, so how did she suddenly get involved with sea pirates?

Seeing that they were about to leave, Li Qiulan became anxious, "I didn't, don't frame me, I have no grudge against you, why would I want to harm you?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhou said, "So, you want to harm someone you have a grudge against?"

Granny Huo chimed in, "Who else besides Chang'er has a grudge against them?"

Granny Niu immediately chimed in, "That wicked woman wants to harm Chang'er!"

That's alright. Right now, almost every household in the village relies on Chang'er for their livelihood.

Last time, that old man in their clan drank two ounces of horse urine and challenged Chang'er, almost causing all the young and strong men in the clan to lose their jobs.

After descending the mountain, almost the entire clan went to apologize to Chang'er. Fortunately, Chang'er was a reasonable person who kept things separate from what she did, so they didn't pursue the matter.

At that moment, the old man's children were practically begging him to kneel down and kowtow.

If their father were to lose the livelihoods of all the able-bodied young men in the clan, the entire clan would be scorned and drowned in their spittle.

From now on, I might as well not stay in Linshui Village anymore.

You could say that in Linshui Village now, if you offend the elders of the Huo, Niu, or Zhou families, only their clans will hold a grudge against you. But if you're out of your mind and want to mess with Lin Chang'er...

That's not just a matter for the Gu family.

That involved the Huo family, the Niu family, the Zhou family, and a few other minor surnames; roughly speaking, it was a matter concerning the entire village.

"It's unnecessary. Keep an eye on this wicked woman and her son. I'll call Chang'er over right now and see what to do!" Knowing that things could get complicated, Granny Huo made a quick decision.

Li Qiulan, “…” Are these old women sick?

Did she say anything? Why did they push her to the ground?

Grandma Huo and the others didn't care; they could see Lin Chang'er right across the river.

He waved towards the other side of the river, calling out, "Chang'er, Chang'er..."

Grandma Zhou, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted Zhou Hai and Zhou Mu in the crowd and called out, "Hai Zi, Hai Zi..."

Granny Niu was not to be outdone, but after looking around carefully, she realized that most of the men in her Niu family were working in the workshop this time, so she just waved to them.

Lin Chang'er was chatting happily with her brothers and didn't hear anything for a while.

It was Chen Shanzhang and his nephew Chen Yuanwai, who were closer to the riverbank, who heard the shouts from the other side first.

Master Chen chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Chang'er to be so popular in the village! Look, that old woman over there must be from the same generation as Grandma, right?"

Headmaster Chen shook his head. "Why are you meddling in all this? Hurry up and call for help!"

Master Chen said "Oh," and called out to the other side, "Chang'er, there's an old woman calling you from the other side!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er hurried over and saw several elderly women waving at her.

Zhou Hai and Zhou Mu also noticed their elders. Zhou Hai asked, "Grandma, what do you want with Chang'er?"

Granny Zhou hurriedly replied, "Chang'er's two farmhands are dishonest; they're trying to harm our village!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai was alarmed and hurriedly said, "Chang'er, this won't do. Come on, Uncle will go with you to see what trouble these two are up to now."

Lin Chang'er's expression also darkened. She had known that the Li family mother and son were restless, but she hadn't expected that Li Dacai would forget the pain so quickly after being beaten.

Lin Chang'er nodded, "Alright, Uncle, you take a few people over first, I'll take Headmaster Chen and Master Chen back and then come over!"

Headmaster Chen said, "It's alright. It's rare for me to come out, so it's good to see some local customs and traditions."

Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Alright then, let's go together! Just don't scare you later!"

Lin Chang'er raised her hand and led the way with Zhou Hai.

Upon hearing the news, Li Chuan tugged at Li Xun's sleeve, "Uncle, that person and his mother are picking manure and composting it across the street."

Xiaoman told him that he would not acknowledge that person as his uncle, and that he was no longer that person's child, so naturally he could no longer call him "Dad," but could only be considered his ex-Dad. However, the ex-Dad thing was strange, so now they all call him "that person"...
