In broad daylight, the elder brother and others were watching from the side again. Even if Huang Zhiqiang borrowed a hundred courages, he would not dare to do anything.
So Sophie was not afraid and stood there without moving, without even a hint of expression.
The eldest brother stopped the man and said, "Huang Zhiqiang, what do you want to do?"
The sister-in-law also stood beside Sophie with a defensive look on her face, full of vigilance.
Huang Zhiqiang tilted his head, "Why don't you do anything? Dongzi was taken away, so I'm worried too."
"Set a bet at the beginning, this kind of thing can be serious or trivial, you will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, short-term detention or public surveillance, and you will also be fined."
"I'm a bit of a loser in town. If you need help, you can come to me at any time!"
The arrogance and pride in his tone could not be concealed.
Zhao Xiaoman was not used to seeing people bullying his aunt, so he relaxed the dog leash slightly, and at the same time muttered, "Dabao, come on!"
Erha's IQ was on the line. He let out a ferocious bark and pounced on Huang Zhiqiang!
Huang Zhiqiang was unprepared and screamed in fright. He lost his footing and fell down like a dog eating shit!
Zhao Xiaoman caught Dabao in time, squatted down and touched his head, "Dabao, good job, I'll give you ham to eat tonight!"
Dabao was like a child who had been praised, barking at Huang Zhiqiang a few more times!
There were roars of laughter all around, but Huang Zhiqiang's group of younger brothers did not dare to laugh out loud.
Zhao Li hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person up, "Zhiqiang, are you okay?"
Huang Zhiqiang couldn't bear to lose face. Before leaving, he glared at Erha, "Damn dog, I'll stew you and eat your meat sooner or later!"
Erha was frightened by Huang Zhiqiang, and hid behind Zhao Xiaoman with his tail between his legs.
Zhao Li was indignant, "You don't know how to appreciate things, Zhiqiang is kind and helpful, but you still bite Lu Dongbin, just wait for Zhao Dong to sit through the jail!"
The group of people left arrogantly.
The silent second uncle suddenly spoke. He didn't dare to look at Zhao's mother. Instead, he looked at his aunt and said, "Xiaotong, I have a few words that I want to talk to you alone..."
The aunt ignored it and said, "Second brother, you have done such despicable and shameless things, why don't you dare to admit it?"
The second uncle tried to explain, "Xiaoqing also had no choice but to..."
The aunt's tone became more severe, "You have no choice but to let them frame Xiaodong?"
The second uncle hurriedly said: "Huang Zhiqiang promised that I will go to the ancestral hall later. As long as you change your mind and no longer participate in this matter, Xiaodong will definitely come back safely!"
"Xiaodong is my nephew, can I still push him into the fire pit?"
"Xiaotong, listen to me and forget about it. This is Backer Town. We can't fight Huang Zhiqiang!"
"Just think it's for Xiaodong and Jiaqi, let's stop!"
"Wouldn't it be good for our whole family to return to Tianzhou together and live a peaceful life?"
"Do you have to make the Zhao brothers turn against each other and make the elder and the younger become enemies before you can feel at ease?"
Out of worry, my aunt ran out of ideas.
Zhao Dong was not here, so everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Sophie.
Sophie took a deep breath and said, "Second uncle, you don't need to say anything!"
As she said that, she held her arm and said, "Aunt, let's go!"
My aunt didn't react for a moment, "Where are you going?"
Sophie said loudly: "Of course it is the Zhao family ancestral hall!"
Auntie hesitated, "But, Xiaodong..."
Sophie turned around and asked, "Auntie, do you believe Xiaodong?"
Auntie nodded.
Sophie raised her voice and said, "I believe it too, because he is my husband!"
"Don't worry, villains like Huang Zhiqiang won't be rampant for long!"
"Why does he want to touch my Sophie's man? It's just blinding him!"
The second uncle hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao Fei, there are Huang Zhiqiang's people over there at the ancestral hall. The dragnet has been set up, and Zhao Dong is not here. What can you do even if you pass?"
Sophie asked, "So what? Zhao Dong is not here, but justice is still there!"
The second uncle wanted to say something more, but the eldest brother stepped forward and yelled, "Get out of the way!"
The second uncle had no choice but to slowly step away and watch the group of people go away.
Someone saw this scene and immediately went back and told Huang Zhiqiang and others!
…
The courtyard of the ancestral hall was filled with people!
The Zhao family has not experienced such a big event for a long time. All adult men who are qualified to participate will have a stool in the courtyard.
The wives and children who were not eligible to participate could only stand around.
In the middle of the hall, there are more than a dozen chairs sitting.
Those who are eligible to sit in the main room are the elders of the clan.
The patriarch sat on the throne, followed closely by Huang Zhiqiang and Zhao Li.
With a creak, the courtyard door was pushed open!
Everyone looked back, and the discussion suddenly became quiet!
Auntie and eldest brother walked side by side in front.
Sophie and her sister-in-law held their arms around Mother Zhao and followed closely behind.
Although Huang Zhiqiang's hands and eyes can reach the sky, not everyone in the Zhao family is afraid of him.
Moreover, everyone is not without doubts about the clan’s accounts.
However, in the past, due to Huang Zhiqiang's threats, no one dared to stand up, let alone question him face to face.
Now, Zhao Dong has asked everyone's doubts, and naturally some people still support him!
In addition, Zhao’s mother was highly respected, so people quickly stood up to give way and lined the streets to welcome her!
Although I have already broken my heart, I still have to do some superficial work.
The clan leader and others also stood up, and after a brief greeting, everyone took their seats one by one!
There is an empty seat in the main room, and it belongs to Zhao Dong!
Seeing this, some people below began to discuss in low voices, and the atmosphere gradually got out of control!
In the weird atmosphere, the clan leader coughed lightly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
After the words fell, there was silence in the ancestral hall!
After all, the patriarch is in a high position, and he stabilized his situation as soon as he spoke, "Everyone already knows the matter. Because of the accounting issue, some people are planning to impeach me."
"I am not greedy for the position of patriarch, but over the years I have fought for the Zhao family, and I think I am worthy of the Zhao family and my own conscience!"
"There are indeed problems with the accounts, and the procedures may be unreasonable, but I am also dedicated to the public good and the good of the Zhao family!"
"In a market economy, if everything cannot be done according to the rules, it is easy to miss business opportunities!"
"Of course, it is a violation after all. Some people don't understand, I can accept it, and I am willing to admit my mistake!"
"Actually, we all belong to the Zhao family. It doesn't matter to me who will be the patriarch!"
"As long as it is for the stability and prosperity of the Zhao family, I can abdicate in favor of someone worthy of my title!"
As he said that, he turned his gaze and said, "Auntie, do you still insist on impeaching me now?"
My aunt took a deep breath and said loudly: "I only have one request: to announce the income and expenditure of the accounts and the whereabouts of the money!"
A look of indifference flashed in the patriarch's eyes, "Okay, then just follow the rules and let the votes speak for themselves!"
After the words fell, Huang Zhiqiang waved his hand.
Bang!
The heavy door of the ancestral hall was slammed shut!
Many new faces poured out from behind the courtyard, surrounding the entire Zhao family in the ancestral hall!
Someone recognized them. They were the mine's security team. They were ruthless and ruthless, and they were all hooligans from surrounding towns!
The pressure is coming!
Discussions also quietly exploded!
Huang Zhiqiang grinned and said with a gloomy look: "Don't worry, everyone. There have been a lot of foreigners in the town recently. It's for everyone's safety!"
"Come on, what did the patriarch say just now? Let's continue!"
