Chapter 53: Don't Start a Fight_1

"Erhu, if you have something to say, say it nicely, there's no need to resort to violence. Your wife is still lying in bed as we speak. Murder leads to a death sentence. If you actually strangled your aunt to death, the government would take you away, and who would take care of your wife then?" Previously enjoying the role of enigmatic figure in public, the village head lost his composure in light of the situation and hastily stopped Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu was very clear-headed. Even though he was furious, committing murder over someone so unworthy was not worth the legal consequences. His actions were merely intended to scare Zhao Lan, to instill a permanent fear in her so she wouldn't dare to come cause trouble again. He also wanted the village head and the third uncle to take this matter more seriously and not resolve it hastily. Therefore, when everyone came to pull him away, he willingly let go, but glared at Zhao Lan with malevolence.
