Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 88 What were you hiding that you were dawdling over?

Li Ruru looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Junniang and Chen Sanbao, along with the village head and several members of the Chen family, standing at her door.

In the past, Qiqi would always rush up and bark wildly at strangers, but today it went into its doghouse and wouldn't come out.

Wow, this dog is practically a genius!

Yinyin simply covered its nest with wheat straw.

Li Ruru's yard is very large, with lots of vegetables, chicken and duck coops, and rabbit hutches. If you don't look closely, you really won't notice the doghouse under the grapevines.

Seeing that everyone was about to rush in, Yin Yin quickly threw Qi Qi's food bowl into the chicken coop.

The chicks were initially startled and ran far away, but then they ran over to peck at the leftover food scraps inside.

Chen Sanbao stood at the door and shouted, "Li, come out quickly! The village head is here. Aren't you going to come out and greet him? Are you trying to rebel?"

The village head looked rather grim. Although he was a minor official, he rarely put on airs in front of the villagers.

He said unhappily, "Chen Sanbao, speak properly. We're here today to resolve the issue, not to argue."

Chen Sanbao immediately wilted. "Hehe, village head, I was just afraid she would neglect you."

"How could that be?" Li Ruru had just washed her hands. As she wiped them on her apron, she said, "Uncle Da, you've arrived. Please come in."

"Li, what were you hiding for so long? Why did it take you so long to come out?" Zhang Junniang, standing to the side, looked around the courtyard with her eyes darting around.

The dumplings that had already been wrapped were brought to the kitchen by Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu.

Aunt Li's dumplings were made with wheat flour. With so many wheat flour dumplings, Xiao Yishan was afraid that people would say his aunt didn't know how to manage money.

They were also afraid that others would covet their good life.

Zhang Junniang rolled her eyes around a few times, but couldn't find anything suspicious.

Li Ruru said coldly, "I'm in my own home, what is there to hide? It's your Chen family, on the other hand..."

She glanced at him sideways and said, "There's a vixen hiding there."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother Sanbao and I are truly in love. The one who isn't loved is the vixen."

As soon as Zhang Junniang uttered her fallacious reasoning, the village head was speechless. He shook his head and said, "Zhang, you should say less."

He then said to Chen Sanbao, "Sanbao, you said there are wolves at Madam Li's house? Where are they? I haven't seen any."

Chen Sanbao walked a few steps inside, but saw neither dogs nor wolves.

He frowned. Jinbang had clearly said that her family had a dog.

Since Li Ruru moved here, Chen Sanbao has not visited yet.

He was busy with Zhang Junniang all day long, so he naturally had no time to come over and was too lazy to pay attention to Li Ruru's life.

Now, seeing her big house, the vegetables she grows in the yard, and all the chickens, ducks, and rabbits she raises, he is green with envy.

That bitch, her life has actually gotten better and better since she left him.

Their family hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and even two eggs weren't enough to go around. But Li Ruru's family had more than thirty chickens and ducks, so they would have more than thirty eggs that day.

Just thinking about the delicious taste of eggs and the aroma of chicken from his memory made Chen Sanbao's legs tremble.

He strode toward the chicken coop, where Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu appeared at the same time and blocked his way.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Chen Sanbao shouted, but dared not take a single step forward.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu were both armed, giving the impression that if he dared to take a step forward, they would attack him.

Xiao Yishan didn't speak, but Xiao Wu said disdainfully, "What, can't your family afford chicken? You're trying to take advantage of others?"

"We won't let you, and you still blatantly steal it? How dare you be so arrogant in front of the village head?"

The village head coughed, his eyes filled with impatience, and said, "Chen Sanbao, don't act recklessly, or Chenjia Village will never tolerate you." He was the first to object to anyone who bullied orphans and widows.

Chen Sanbao took a few steps back dejectedly, then glanced at Yin Yin beside him and ordered directly, "San Ya, hand over your dog, no, your wolf."

Yinyin blinked and asked, "Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

"Who am I? I'm your father, you little brat, how dare you disobey your father?"

Chen Sanbao's eyes widened. It had only been a few days since she last saw this little brat, yet she dared to challenge her. It was simply outrageous.

Yinyin tilted her head as if she really didn't recognize him. "I don't have a father. I only have my mother and my brothers and sisters."

Chen Sanbao sneered, "You three little girls, where did you get any brothers?"

Zhang Junniang shouted loudly, "Stop wasting time talking to them, just search them. I don't believe we can't find that wolf."

Zhang Laizi said that Li Ruru's dog was a wolf, and he only realized it later.

Zhang Lazi and Zhang Junniang are both from Zhangjiagou, and they have known each other since they were children.

During the years that Zhang Junniang remained a widow, Zhang Laizi harassed her frequently.

Zhang Junniang looked down on him and casually told her family about it.

Everyone else paid no attention, but Chen Jinbang's eyes lit up.

He spent the whole night discussing with the Chen family, and because he had something to do, he decided that Zhang Junniang and Chen Sanbao would personally deal with Li Ruru today.

The Chen family is united and determined to drive Li Ruru out of the village. Without the village's protection, how will she and her orphan survive?

By then, they won't even have a place to live, let alone sell konjac tofu. They'll starve to death on the roadside sooner or later.

Li Ruru stood in front of Zhang Junniang, looking down at her and said, "What right do you have to search my house? Just because you're a vixen?"

Zhang Junniang interpreted Li Ruru's insults as a sign that Li Ruru hadn't let go of Chen Sanbao, otherwise she wouldn't keep calling her a vixen.

"On what grounds? Because you have a wolf. Keeping a wolf seriously threatens the safety of the villagers. Our Chenjia Village will never tolerate you."

Li Ruru said in a deep voice, "Why would I raise wolves? Am I just bored and have nothing better to do?"

She spread her hands helplessly and looked at the village head, "Uncle Da, it's already a miracle that my daughter and I can even get food to eat. Why would I make myself miserable? Don't you think so?"

Having witnessed Zhao's unreasonable behavior, Lü Da also had no good impression of the rest of the Chen family.

He said, "Li is right. Chen Sanbao, Zhang Junniang, are you mistaken? They only raise some rabbits, chickens, and ducks. You should at least provide evidence before spreading rumors."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sanbao became anxious, "The evidence is inside; a search will reveal it."

He was certain that Li Ruru must have heard rumors and hidden the wolf.

He strode towards the kitchen, and Chu Xiu rushed up to him. "Chen Sanbao, right? Hehe, you're not welcome at my aunt's house."

Get lost, don't force this young master to take action.

Chen Sanbao shoved Chu Xiu, "And who do you think you are? How dare you block my way, I..."

Before I could finish speaking, I was bitten on the leg.

"Ah... there's a dog! Help!"

Chen Sanbao shouted and lunged at the village head.

The village headman dodged to the side, but Zhang Junniang wasn't so lucky; he was tackled to the ground by Chen Sanbao.

Qiqi barked and bit the two of them, tearing their clothes to shreds.

Zhang Junniang screamed, "Village head, help! A dog has killed someone!"
