The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

196 Someone Had Grown Capable

“I went home with Father and found someone at home.

“In the end, I found out that it was Mother. She sneaked into our house and even killed and ate the hen.

“I went to check on the chicken coop, and Father took action against Mother, chasing her and beating her up. I’m afraid he might have chased Mother out of the village by now,” Wang Dashan said as he rushed forward.

Wang Dashi was shocked.

Then, his face lit up with joy.

“Your father is capable of this?”

When his nephew did not respond, Wang Dashi quickly followed Wang Dashan.

“Don’t worry. As long as he didn’t kill her, it will be fine.”

It was that shrew’s fault for breaking into the Wang family’s house. Even if she was beaten to death, she deserved it.

Of course, if Wang Laoshuan really killed her, things would become troublesome.

In particular, that shrew was still the mother of Dashan and Xiaomei at the end of the day.

Wang Dashan didn’t answer and walked even faster.

Seeing this, Wang Dashi did not say anything more and continued to follow his nephew to the village entrance.

In the end, they bumped into many villagers who came out to watch the show.

Thus, through these incidental encounters, many people ended up tagging along behind the uncle and nephew.

Wang Dashan walked very quickly and finally caught up with Wang Laoshuan and Madam Qian at the village entrance.

At this moment, Madam Qian had fallen to the ground after being chased and beaten by Wang Laoshuan.

Even though she kept begging for mercy, Madam Qian still couldn’t escape Wang Laoshuan’s stick which kept hitting her furiously.

Seeing this, Wang Dashan simply frowned but did not say anything.

By the time he reached Wang Laoshuan, Madam Qian had already fainted.

Seeing that his father still had no intention of calming down and was still hitting Madam Qian’s body, Wang Dashan finally stepped in to stop Wang Laoshuan.

“That’s enough,” he said.

It was as if Wang Laoshuan had just woken up from a dream.

He looked at the woman lying on the ground who seemed to have been killed by him, and a wisp of fear flashed across his face.

At the same time, the wooden stick in his hand dropped to the ground.

Wang Dashan’s face was also a little pale. He was a little regretful that he had stopped his father too late.

It was Wang Dashi who eventually stepped forward, squatted down, and checked for Madam Qian’s breathing.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that she had only fainted.

“She’s not dead. She simply passed out from the beating.” Wang Dashi stood up and said to the father and son.

The father and son, as well as the villagers who had come to watch the show, all heaved a sigh of relief collectively.

Wang Dashi smiled and stepped forward. He patted his big brother’s shoulder with a look of admiration on his face.

Then, he turned around and looked at the villagers.

“We’ve made a fool of ourselves again.

“Madam Qian sneaked into my big brother and nephew’s house when they weren’t home.

“She even killed the hen and stole the food at home to eat. She deserves to be beaten.

“Now that she has fainted from the beating, serve her right!

“Since the Wang family has settled the matter, everyone can go back.”

The villagers all began to discuss among themselves. They pointed at Madam Qian, who was lying on the ground, feeling that she deserved it.

This woman was really thick-skinned. She was thrown out of the village last time. It had only been a few days, yet she still came back to be a thief.

Wang Laoshuan had also grown more courageous this time. He actually used a stick to beat Madam Qian to the point that she passed out.

Everyone hoped this woman would really learn her lesson this time and not come to their Brook Falls Village to cause any more trouble.

With such thoughts in mind, the crowd quickly dispersed.

After everyone had left, Wang Dashi looked at the worried father and son.

“Second… Second brother, what should we do?” Wang Laoshuan asked Wang Dashi in fear.

Wang Dashan looked at Madam Qian, who was lying motionless on the ground, and then looked at his second uncle.

“Hah!” Wang Dashi gave a loud laugh.

“I’m going back to sleep. What else can I do?” he said.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Madam Qian, who was lying on the ground.

If she woke up, she would leave on her own if she knew what was good for her.

Otherwise, if she went to pester his big brother again, her flesh would suffer more pain.

At the thought of this, Wang Dashi once again looked at his big brother with admiration.

It seemed that their elderly mother’s words had some effect.

His big brother finally showed some manliness now.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Wang Laoshuan’s face as he turned to look at his son.

...

He only agreed with Wang Dashi’s proposal when he saw Wang Dashan nod at him.

Thus, the three of them ignored Madam Qian and returned to the village together.

On the way back, Wang Dashi was a little excited and talked to the father and son for a long time.

He praised Wang Laoshuan’s behavior today and advised the father and son not to show any mercy to Madam Qian.

The father and son both agreed with him.

After returning to the Wang family’s house, the two of them cleaned up the table and ate the food Madam Qian had left behind.

After the meal, with a tacit understanding, the father and son did not talk.

After cleaning themselves up, they fell asleep.

However, neither of them slept well that night.

It wasn’t until the next day when they found out that Madam Qian had disappeared, that the father and son were relieved.

On the other side, Liu Daniu packed up a big handcart full of things and set off for town.

...

In the Liu family’s newly bought courtyard house in the illegal construction area, the Liu family members were busy again.

As Liu Daniu had brought over quite a lot more things, after the house was furnished, they could finally live in the courtyard house normally.

In addition, the two brothers had gone to their mother to get some money to buy some things, which made the courtyard house even more livable.

After lunch, Uncle Liu led the two brothers to repair the furniture while Aunt Liu led Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei to do some cleaning work.

In addition, Big Girl Li’s parents had brought her younger brother over to help. By dusk, the courtyard house was completely tidied up.

Aunt Liu wanted to invite the in-laws to dinner, but the Li family refused.

They said they would come and join in the fun on the actual house-moving day.

Aunt Liu didn’t insist anymore.

After having dinner at their new home, the old couple left for Brook Falls Village with their two sons.

After they left the town, they walked on the main road and started talking about moving house.

“I’m afraid it will be a bit rushed to move the day after tomorrow,” Aunt Liu said.

Her daughter-in-law had sought someone’s advice, who said that the day after tomorrow was good. The timing was very close, but it was too tight.

“What’s the hurry?”

“The courtyard house has already been tidied up. The earlier we move in, the better!” Uncle Liu said.

After saying that, Uncle Liu looked at his two sons.

“The new house doesn’t lack anything except some firewood.

“Tomorrow, our whole family will go into the mountains to gather more firewood. Then, before the sky turns dark, two persons can push one handcart and send the firewood to our new home.”

If their family’s two handcarts were loaded with firewood, it would be enough to last for a long time.

“Alright!” The two brothers quickly answered.

They were only moving the day after tomorrow, so they could go into the mountains to gather more firewood tomorrow. Even if they couldn’t send all of them to their new home in town, it would be good to leave some at home.

As for buying firewood and other similar stuff, their family was not well-off, so it was better to forget about it.

“In addition, send more foodstuff to town. We’ll eat the grain leftover from last year first,” Uncle Liu said.

In the village, their family was considered one of those families with surplus food.

They still had more than 100 catties of last year’s grain surplus.

However, even so, his two sons had bought a lot of grain to stock up at home during this period.

The price of grain was now alarmingly high.

In his opinion, there was no need for his family to buy any more grain.

If they really wanted to buy, they could wait until they had finished eating the current stock.

Maybe by that time, the grain price would have dropped.

They had no choice. They had just bought a courtyard house and had to spend a large sum of money. From now on, their family would have to tighten their belts.
