Eldest Chen, not yet fully recovered, was punched by Feng Ergou and stumbled backward.
Still not satisfied, Feng Ergou pinned Eldest Chen down and landed two more punches.
Eldest Chen’s yard was enclosed by a simple fence, so the commotion quickly attracted the other villagers, who were dumbfounded by the sight.
After all, Feng Ergou and Eldest Chen didn’t usually cross paths. So why had they suddenly started fighting?
Fearing things would get out of hand, the villagers hurried forward to pull the two men apart.
Having been beaten, Eldest Chen was naturally not going to let it slide, so the two of them went straight to find the village chief.
Village Chief Xu had only just returned. The birth of his new grandson had put him in much better spirits.
But as he looked at the two men before him, he remained silent.
’He never thought his daughter could be so much trouble. She was long gone, yet here were men brawling over her out of jealousy. It was a real eye-opener for him as a father.’
The entire Xu Family fell silent.
Any other family could have simply ignored trouble caused by a daughter they’d cut ties with. But Village Chief Xu was the village chief, and all village affairs were his to manage. How could he possibly refuse to get involved?
After a moment of silence, Village Chief Xu looked at his eldest son, Xu Chongfeng. "Go get the commune leader."
A villager quickly brought the commune leader over.
Chen Beiguo wore a stiff expression. This winter, it seemed like nine out of ten incidents he handled were related to Xu Wenwan.
As he walked in, he couldn’t help but glance sympathetically at Village Chief Xu. ’He hadn’t believed it before when people called Xu Wenwan a jinx, but now, he was beginning to wonder.’
’After all, nothing involving Xu Wenwan ever seemed to end well.’
With a cold expression, the commune leader listened as the two men rambled on. In the end, he found the whole situation utterly baffling.
’First, there’s Feng Ergou. You have absolutely no relationship with Xu Wenwan, yet you’re fighting Eldest Chen over her. Are you nuts?’
