Chapter 157 Disquiet
This indeed voiced the concerns of many villagers; Wang Daxiu’s sudden act of brandishing a knife and slashing at someone in their own home was like madness. If she had run into their own home and something had happened, it would have been an irrevocable regret.
Since it had grown dark and the matter was still unresolved, the villagers were unwilling to disperse; they wanted to see the outcome.
Nowadays, nobody wanted to waste lamp oil. Fuming with anger, Old Granny Zhang wouldn’t even light a single lamp. Left with no choice, the clan leaders of both families ordered torches to be lit, illuminating the courtyard bright as day.
The Li Family Patriarch approached the Wang Family Patriarch to discuss, "What do you think we should do about this?"
The Wang Family Patriarch took off his smoking pipe, tapped it against the sole of his shoe, and frowned, "A swift solution is needed for this tangled mess; it cannot be dragged out any longer. It all depends on whether you can make the tough decision!"
The Li Family Patriarch said fiercely, "Had I known that this was a family of madness, why would I have given them ten days? They should have been kicked out with their bags on the very day! The Li Family has been utterly ruined by them this time!"
He gritted his cheeks, a hint of venom flashing across his eyes.
The Wang Family Patriarch gave the Li Family Patriarch a sympathetic look. Indeed, having such people in the clan was like a single rat dropping ruining a whole pot of soup.
It was said that in recent days, several girls from the Li Family who were just engaged had their engagements called off, the reason being the bad reputation of the females in the Li Family.
Li Jinzhi alone had caused so much trouble for all the girls of the Li Family, and with the chaos Wang Daxiu was now creating, it was likely that after this incident the entire Li Family would have to keep a low profile for a while.
It seemed that from now on, more attention would have to be paid to the upbringing of girls in the clan. Should anything like this recur, the Wang Family would not be able to hold their heads high either.
