Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

The police station specifically called the village head, making it clear that Li Fu had to be evacuated.

Changgui was worried that if this matter was not handled properly, the village's annual performance evaluation would be ruined, and his promotion would also be delayed.

Wang Changgui was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, and he quickly advised:

"Big Foot, I know you're frustrated. Anyone would be furious in your shoes. Li Fu is a complete scoundrel, he does nothing right, but we have to consider the bigger picture!"

"You said he's been sitting in the police station the longer this drags on, the more gossip will spread, and the whole village will laugh at us. Let's get him out first, and we'll deal with the rest later, okay?"

Xie Dajiao had a sullen face and bloodshot eyes. She remained silent for a long time, feeling both angry and helpless.

She really didn't want to care! Not even a little bit!

But Chang Gui was telling the truth. If things escalated to the end, she would be the one who lost face and suffered the consequences.

After a long while, she gritted her teeth, opened the money box, counted out the cash, and slammed it heavily onto the counter with a "thud".

"I'll pay for it, you go and get him out."

"But I only have one condition: get him out of here immediately! And never let him come back! I feel disgusted just looking at him; I've truly had enough of living with him!"

Wang Changgui immediately nodded:

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Big Foot! I'll definitely make it clear to him, let him go out and do whatever he wants, and absolutely won't let him come back to the village to cause trouble or give you any trouble!"

After saying that, he pocketed the money, got on his bicycle, and hurriedly headed towards the town.

The main gate of the town police station —

After Wang Changgui finished the formalities and paid the fine, Li Fu strolled out a short while later.

His face was covered in grease and grime. Instead of showing any remorse or repentance, he looked resentful and defiant, as if everyone owed him money.

Wang Changgui quickly pulled him to the side of the road and whispered, "..."

"Li Fu, you've really gone too far this time. How old are you? Doing such a ridiculous thing has completely broken Big Foot's heart. I advise you, don't go back to the village and cause trouble. Go out and do something worthwhile, and calm down."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu scoffed, glancing sideways at Wang Changgui with a sarcastic and mocking expression.

"What? You won't let me go back to the village?"

"Are you afraid my return will interfere with your good time together? Wang Changgui, I've known for a while that something's not right between you two! While I'm not home, have you two been spending all your time together at the grocery store?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wang Changgui was instantly enraged, his face turning red and his neck bulging.

"I kindly helped you out of a predicament, and you're biting the hand that feeds you! You're utterly hopeless!"

Li Fu ignored him completely, stubbornly sticking his neck out and acting arrogantly:

"My home is in Ivory Mountain, why shouldn't I go back? Xie Dajiao thinks she can get rid of me? Dream on! I'm going back today and staying here, let's see what she can do to me!"

After saying that, he turned and left, and no one could stop him.

Wang Changgui watched his arrogant back and stomped his feet in frustration, thinking to himself that things were going to go wrong. However, he dared not go back with Li Fu, fearing that Li Fu would expose him again. He was caught in a dilemma.

……

Li Fu packed a woven bag of clothes, carried it back to the village, and Xie Dajiao saw him return and immediately locked the door.

Seeing that he couldn't open the door, Li Fu started banging on it without saying a word, shouting in his hoarse voice:

"Xie Dajiao! Open the door! Open the door right now! This is my house! Why can't I come in!"

Xie Dajiao, inside the house, heard everything clearly. She was so angry she trembled, her hands and feet turned ice-cold, and she roared back through the door:

"Get out! This isn't your home! After doing such a despicable thing, you still have the nerve to come back and embarrass yourself? Get out right now!"

"I'm not leaving! Why should I leave!"

Li Fu pounded on the door even more fiercely:

"You want to kick me out? No way!"

The commotion attracted a crowd of villagers who gathered in small groups by the roadside, pointing and whispering. More and more people came to watch the spectacle.

Xie Dajiao was most afraid of being humiliated in public, and having no other choice, she gritted her teeth and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Li Fu barged in, threw the woven bag onto the kang (a heated brick bed), plopped down on the counter, crossed his legs, grabbed a bottle of ice-cold beer, crunched it open, and chugged it down his throat, acting like a shameless scoundrel who wasn't afraid of boiling water.

"Put it down! You're not allowed to drink my wine!" Xie Dajiao stepped forward and tried to snatch it.

During the struggle, the bottle slipped from their hands and crashed to the ground with a bang, shattering into pieces and splattering beer foam everywhere.

The pent-up conflicts finally erupted, and the two had a big argument on the spot.

Li Fu slammed his fist on the counter, acting like a rogue, saying "This is my house, I can do whatever I want." Xie Dajiao was driven to tears by him, her eyes red as she shouted that she wanted a divorce and couldn't live like this for another day.

Just as the argument was raging, Wang Changgui finally returned. Seeing the mess in the shop and the crowd gathered at the door, he was dumbfounded and stood there helplessly.

The onlookers separated the two and escorted Xie Dajiao out of the grocery store. Wang Changgui took her to his home and told people to start a meeting immediately.

Wang Changgui's home—

The room was filled with smoke, as several heavy smokers puffed away, making it stuffy and difficult to breathe.

The kang (heated brick bed) was full of people: Wang Changgui, Xie Guangkun, Liu Neng, Zhao Si, Wang Laoqi, and Accountant Xu—all the bigwigs of the village's major families were there.

Wang Changgui cleared his throat and said:

"I called everyone here for a meeting today for one thing: the matter of Big Feet and Li Fu."

"Li Fuzhen got arrested for causing trouble, and when he was released, he didn't know what was good for him. He insisted on going back to the village to cause trouble and refused to leave the grocery store. Da Jiao was determined to get a divorce, but he stubbornly refused."

"It's not good for the village to interfere in family matters, but if we let him cause trouble like this, our village's reputation will be completely ruined. Everyone, let's think of a way to resolve this."

Xie Dajiao sat to the side, her eyes red-rimmed, seething with anger. She raised her hand and slammed it hard on the table.

"I've had enough! I can't live like this anymore. He's a scoundrel. I can give up the shop, I can give up the family, I have to divorce him!"

Xie Guangkun, putting on airs, shouted loudly and seriously, even though his ear hadn't healed from the beating.

"If you ask me, we should go straight to court! Li Fu is at fault; we'll win every time. Be firm and don't tolerate his bad behavior!"

Liu Neng immediately shook his head and waved his hands, stammering in rebuttal:

"Don't...don't do anything reckless. If this goes to court, the whole village will lose face. Besides, Li Fu is a stubborn mule, completely unyielding. If the court rules against him and he refuses to leave, who among us can handle him? It's a complete waste of effort!"

Zhao Si's lips twitched:

"In my opinion... give him some travel expenses and send him away. Let him go out and do some work. Out of sight, out of mind. Let's just settle things peacefully."

Wang Laoqi sighed:

"It's no use. Even if you give him money, he might not leave. He's determined to stick with Big Foot. He's too difficult to deal with."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Accountant Xu quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Why don't we try persuading him to move out temporarily, so both sides can calm down before making a decision?"

The group of people argued and bickered for more than half an hour, but in the end they couldn't come up with a solution. No one could control Li Fu, that scoundrel.

At this moment, the air conditioning in Lin Chen's home was on just the right setting, with a cool breeze making it exceptionally comfortable.

The newly renovated house was bright and clean. He filled a basin with water and was sitting in the yard slowly wiping the car, living a leisurely and comfortable life.

Zhao Yutian rushed in, sweating profusely, shouting anxiously:

"Brother Chen! Something's happened! That bastard Li Fu is back in the village, throwing a tantrum at Aunt Big Foot's shop, banging on the door and refusing to leave. Nobody can control him!"

Then, he rattled off a detailed account of what had happened the night before: being arrested for soliciting prostitution, the police coming to his door, getting him released this morning, and then returning to his village to act like a scoundrel.

Lin Chen abruptly stopped wiping the rag in his hand, his eyes instantly turning cold.

He had personally warned Li Fu last time not to return to Ivory Mountain, but this bastard forgot it as soon as he turned his back. He's really asking for trouble!

"I think he's got a death wish!"

Lin Chen's face darkened. He stood up, strode to the wall, and picked up a thick stick. The stick was heavy and hard in his hand.

Where is he now?

"They should...they should still be in the store..."

Lin Chen grabbed a stick and ran straight out of the yard. Zhao Yutian followed behind, but dared not run fast. He was extremely anxious and decided to go straight to Wang Changgui's house to report the news.

Right now, Li Fu was beaming with pride in the grocery store, and he was the only one left there.

He was sitting with his legs crossed, eating chicken feet and chugging beer, his mouth greasy, looking incredibly arrogant, and shouting at the top of his lungs towards the door:

"What's the point of holding meetings? No one can change anything! I'm not leaving! This is my house, and I'll see who can kick me out! Xie Dajiao thinks she can control me? Dream on!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a furious roar suddenly erupted outside the shop:

"Li Fu! You bastard! Where are you?! Get your ass out here!"

The voice was so distinctive, carrying genuine anger.

The chicken claw in Li Fu's hand fell onto the table with a thud. The smug look on his face vanished instantly. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost lost his soul.

His biggest fear is Lin Chen!

In a panic, she frantically tried to hide behind the curtains, but her body went in while her big butt was still sticking out. She tried to crawl under the counter, but she couldn't bend down. She was stuck, sweating profusely, like an ant on a hot pan.

The footsteps outside grew closer, the thumping sound making one's heart race.

Li Fu was utterly terrified. He didn't care about anything else, turned around and jumped out of the window like a madman, rushing out of the grocery store and running away as fast as he could.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and the dirt road was burning hot, steaming with heat.

Li Fugang rushed out and bumped right into Lin Chen, who was carrying a stick.

Their eyes met, and Lin Chen's gaze turned frighteningly cold. He grabbed his stick and charged towards Li Fu!

"You stand right there! Li Fu! Fuck you!"

"You fucking ignored me, huh?! You're asking for it! You stand right there!"

Li Fu turned around and ran as fast as he could towards the east end of the village. He swore he had never run so fast in his life!

Lin Chen chased after him frantically, wielding a stick and cursing as he went:

"You idiot, you big idiot! I'm going to beat you to death today! You son of a bitch!"

Li Fu was extremely fat, like a black bear spirit. He spent his days indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, and had no stamina whatsoever. After running more than two hundred meters in the sweltering heat, he was immediately panting like a bellows, his face covered in sweat, and his vision was blurred.

Lin Chen walked quickly, chasing closely behind, the distance between them getting closer and closer.
