Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 323 - 322

Chapter 323: Chapter 322

As Wu Laohu spoke up, the previously noisy courtyard became utterly silent.

Nobody dared to breathe.

In White Dragon Village, Wu Laohu was like a king, his word was law.

Few dared to defy Wu Laohu’s will, and at this moment, it was clear that he was displeased with Zhang Xiaoshan.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan was furious and did not leave any face for Wu Laohu, directly retorting.

"Uncle Daming, although you are the village head of our White Dragon Village, you still don’t have the right to erase my household registration, do you?"

"If you can’t stand me, you can have someone drive me out of White Dragon Village right now."

"What?"

As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan made this statement, the crowd around him was shocked.

Was he openly challenging Wu Laohu?

"Zhang, has Zhang Xiaoshan gone mad?"

Their looks towards Zhang Xiaoshan were filled with fear.

This move was too crazy, too bold, wasn’t it?

Wu Laohu himself was livid.

"Fine, Zhang Xiaoshan, it seems like you’ve really grown wings, and can’t stand me in your eyes anymore."

"Wu Biao, take some men and seize this kid for me."

Wu Laohu was about to explode with anger at this point.

But Wu Biao hesitated, struggling to speak to Wu Laohu.

"Uncle, there, there’s some misunderstanding here, it’s not entirely Zhang Xiaoshan’s fault; he, he was just hot-headed, he didn’t mean to defy you intentionally."

Joking aside, Wu Biao had taken so much money from Zhang Xiaoshan, and he was the first to rush into Wei Bao’s house today. How could he not speak up for Zhang Xiaoshan?

The other men also averted their eyes and stepped back.

These men were members of the village defense team, and several of them had participated in the gambling last night and received benefits from Zhang Xiaoshan.

At this moment, they themselves were guilty and uneasy.

"You, you all..."

Seeing Wu Biao and the others stay put and even speak up for Zhang Xiaoshan, Wu Laohu’s face turned red with anger.

In White Dragon Village, he had always held absolute authority, his word was final, and no one had ever dared to challenge him before.

Today, the back and forth with Zhang Xiaoshan had set a precedent, but what angered him even more was that his own village defense team wouldn’t listen to him.

Had Zhang Xiaoshan’s prestige in the village now surpassed his own?

This, this?

"Wu Biao, can’t you hear what I’m saying?"

"Get moving."

Wu Biao was in a terrible dilemma.

On one hand there was the clan leader of the Wu family, his uncle; on the other hand, there was his financier.

This, helping either side was tricky.

If it were just a personal issue between Zhang Xiaoshan and Wu Laohu, he would undoubtedly stand firmly on Wu Laohu’s side, since Wu Laohu represented the interests of the entire Wu family.

But today’s issue originated with that bastard Wei Bao.

He had long wanted to deal with Wei Bao himself; he would love nothing more than for Zhang Xiaoshan to beat Wei Bao up severely and take the woman away.

"Uncle, this, this..."

Wu Biao stammered, but just couldn’t bring himself to act.

"Scoundrels, all of you scoundrels, don’t call me uncle; I will expel you from the Wu family, and you others, I will deal with you one by one."

Wu Laohu roared furiously, as if he had taken gunpowder; clearly, he was infuriated.

Seeing this, Jia Lanhua hurriedly grabbed Wu Laohu’s arm, trying to console him.

"Daming, don’t get angry straight away. Wu Biao and the others usually listen to you well. Xiaoshan has always had a good attitude towards you; their unusual behavior today must have a reason behind it. Perhaps they suffered some injustice. Listen first, understand the truth of the matter, and then decide."

"Xiaoshan, apologize to your Uncle Daming quickly, let’s talk it over nicely."

Jia Lanhua kept making eye signals to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Clearly, she hoped that Zhang Xiaoshan would give Wu Laohu an opportunity to step down.

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated momentarily.

Though Wu Laohu was annoying, taking ten thousand steps back, he was still the village head of White Dragon Village, and today, if he wanted to take the noble lady with him, Wu Laohu’s approval was essential, anyhow.

With that thought.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and spoke to Wu Laohu in a more humble tone.

"Uncle Daming, I apologize. I was too hasty just now, and my tone was harsh."

"But I truly have been wronged. Since you are here, it’s good; please, I need you to mediate this for me."

Saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan handed over the promissory note Wei Bao had made out to him last night to Wu Laohu.

Wu Laohu was itching with hatred towards Zhang Xiaoshan at that moment.

But, with Wu Biao and the others not listening to him, if he continued to rage, he might end up embarrassing himself.

Since Zhang Xiaoshan had already bowed his head and given him some face, it was better to leave well enough alone.

He thought about getting back at Zhang Xiaoshan later; there would be plenty of opportunities after today.

Thinking this, he opened the note Zhang Xiaoshan had handed him.

He muttered under his breath.

"You’d better have a good explanation today, otherwise, boy, you’re going to be getting a beating in the ancestral hall."

As he was saying this, he froze.

"What the hell, Wei Bao lost the woman to you?"

Looking at the content on the note, Wu Laohu was dumbfounded.

He had thought Wei Bao and Zhang Xiaoshan had a physical altercation or some economic dispute.

Who would have expected it to involve a woman?

"You, you’ve even started gambling, and it’s over a woman?"

Wu Laohu’s mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

This was not typical of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Jia Lanhua, standing beside Wu Laohu, was utterly stupefied.

Just now she had still been speaking up for Zhang Xiaoshan.

But, Zhang Xiaoshan had actually come to Wei Bao’s house to snatch the woman.

This, wasn’t she helping her own rival?

"Good on you, Zhang Xiaoshan, I always thought you were an upright guy, but it turns out you’re into this kind of thing; just you wait, the next time we get together privately, I’ll get you back for this."

She narrowed her eyes, glaring at Zhang Xiaoshan irritably.
