Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1400: You've Gone Too Far

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since when do we need a woman to boss us around in the village? Fixing roads isn't that easy! And why send kids to school when they learn nothing useful, just wasting time! They might as well work in the fields or collect firewood and wild fruits. No, we're not going."

"Exactly! Studying is just for dealing with those teachers and village leaders. What's the point of studying?"

"Not going, just a waste of money."

"Right! Fixing roads is something the county and town can afford, not our village. Why should we exhaust ourselves fixing roads when we have no money or food? We're not fixing it!"

"In that time, it's better to stay home and get some sleep, save the exhaustion."

Everyone's just insisting on not doing it.

Daman, Erman, and Sanman are so anxious they're about to cry.

Can't you all just shut up?

If you anger these people, it won't be you who suffers.

Daman roars, "Shut up! Are you all rebelling? My father is injured, but the three of us brothers aren't dead yet. We still call the shots in this village. If Teacher Bai tells you to do something, you do it. If you don't listen, I won't let you collect emergency grain at the end of the year. Whoever doesn't want to do it, step forward now!"

At this moment, years of accumulated authority finally played a role. Emergency grain and relief funds are vital to the farmers; none of them has the guts to refuse.

Some who originally planned to do something now are completely puzzled by Daman's outburst.

How could they not know that fixing the road would benefit the villagers?

Each of them pleaded with the village chief to ask the county for money; the village is poor because of the road conditions.

If there really was a way to change things! Who would want to be lazy, just to eat and wait to die every day?

But Wang Manzhu didn't want to change.

Of course he didn't; the village having no money, being dirt poor, is good. Every year, the county allocates relief funds and emergency grain, from which he can siphon off some. By the time it reaches the villagers, there's little left.

Over the years, Wang Manzhu hasn't missed a chance to embezzle from this. If everyone got rich, where would that leave him?

So it's good to be poor.

Only the poor listen. This way, he can live comfortably by exploiting this fact, as his family has money.

Now suddenly, Daman says this?

Could it be that these three new teachers could really change the entire family of the village chief?

If that's the case, it's a good thing; some nimble people nodded in agreement immediately.

"Alright, whatever Daman says is what we do. The village chief's son is the village chief! We'll listen to Daman; you say what to do, and we'll do it."

"While the village chief is recuperating, let Daman temporarily act as village chief. We agree!"

"Teacher Bai is right, kids should go to school. If they can't recognize words, they won't even be able to write their own names in the future, that's unacceptable."

The wind shifted immediately! Everyone started saying good things, and no one dared to offend Daman.

Daman was smug, thinking how his family was living high and mighty in the village.

He turned to see the three of them, Bai Yiyi and her friends, with expressions that were neither serious nor smiling. Immediately, he started fawning like a puppy, "Teacher Bai, Teacher Yu, Teacher An, if you have any more requests, just say them out loud. I'll handle everything, and anyone who disobeys, I'll deal with them!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It seemed like the three Daman brothers were completely obedient to these three women.

Very obedient indeed.

Many coldly observed the three female teachers and couldn't see what was so special! At most, they were just a bit pretty.

It seemed like Daman and his brothers wanted to please their wives, so they agreed to let these teachers continue their teaching stint. Once the novelty wore off, they'd likely get bored.

After all, they're newly married, and should be treasured dearly.

Once they have children, will a man still let you do as you please outside?

Everyone was just watching the spectacle.

So people started leaving one by one.

They agreed to send their children to school the next day.

Daman watched as people left, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Who knows how worried he had been just now.

Han Mei closed the gate.

Principal Li had already been taken home by her son. Principal Li was scared out of his wits, having witnessed Han Mei beat Wang Manzhu to a pulp with a stick, splattering blood everywhere. The blood even splashed onto Principal Li's face! It was enough to drive anyone mad, seeing the ruthless person finally lose their mind.

He couldn't say anything, couldn't move, just like a living dead.

They were very relieved; Han Mei had nothing to worry about! She had already lived her life to the fullest.

Moreover, Principal Li wouldn't come looking for trouble over Wang Manzhu.

The three brothers, Daman, Erman, and Sanman, squeezed into one room, freeing up a room for Bai Yiyi and her friends to stay. They now had a bitter smile, as if they were serving three gods at home.

In the middle of the night, when Daman, Erman, and Sanman were groaning in pain, rolling on the kang, in more agony than death, they finally understood what Bai Yiyi and her friends had said.

They knew they couldn't escape.

Bai Yiyi had already asked Daman and them; Wang Manzhu's money was hidden in a chest, locked.

It couldn't withstand them tinkering for a moment.

Inside the chest, besides Wang Manzhu's ten thousand yuan, there was also last year's undistributed relief funds.

Each time, Wang Manzhu deposited the money in his own account for a few months to earn some interest for himself before distributing it.

This delay lasted a year.

In other words, next year's relief funds were about to arrive.

Wang Manzhu actually had 150,000 yuan in his hands.

This was indeed unexpected for Bai Yiyi and her friends.

They hadn't thought that this old bastard had that kind of capability! One could only imagine how much money Wang Manzhu had pocketed over the years in that position.

This money would be put to good use in the village.

The next morning, Bai Yiyi and her friends went to the school.

Accompanying them were several volunteer teachers from the village.

These teachers, long restrained by chains, could finally stand up proudly in public.

This was also the result of Bai Yiyi and her friends' discussion with them the previous night.

The men and women in those households were dealt with, how exactly was their business, as long as no one died, they wouldn't interfere.

With An Xiaoxiao overseeing, there was no fear of anyone dying.

These women suffered, and some wanted to go home as soon as possible and leave this place. Bai Yiyi arranged for them to leave the next day by car, of course not forgetting to report to the police.

After all, the punishment they deserved needed to be delivered.

They couldn't just let these people get away with it easily.

Although they had already avenged themselves in their way.

However, a few refused to leave; they felt the punishment wasn't over yet. They wanted to see those bastards punished with their own eyes.

Moreover, they wanted to ensure such episodes would never happen again, so no more girls would be victimized.

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to stay.

To stay and transform this place into the ideal it should be.
