The Farmer Ger in the Apocalypse

Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was despe...

Chapter 78 Lantang: New Year's Eve 2

These words were like a drop of water falling into oil, and the people who came to watch the fun instantly exploded.

If it's about catching a thief from another village, the whole village will be united in hatred of the enemy; but if it's about a private affair, many people will be no longer sleepy. Especially some young men who have a grudge against Shen Qing, although they know in their hearts that this man is probably talking nonsense: If you are looking for someone, why don't you come to look for him during the day? Who would climb the wall to look for someone in the middle of the night?

But maybe Shen Qing and the third brother of this family are real! Although they have never seen this third brother, and have no idea what is going on between Shen Qing and him. But in their minds, how could any man want Shen Qing with this look? If they meet one, they will have to stick to him.

Any words that could discredit Shen Qing would make these guys excited!

There are also some people who know that thieves can say anything to escape punishment, but the lack of daily entertainment makes them completely defenseless against such catchy news!

What a big melon!

Even though it was Shen Qing's gossip that made them a little afraid, this gossip with a hint of danger seemed more exciting. For a moment, all kinds of eyes fell on Shen Qing, some were curious and curious, some were sarcastic and mocking, some were excited and gossiping, and some even wanted to shake Boss Wang and let him say more!

Shen Qing frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind: Wang San ran away?

This is not surprising. Although Shen Qing did not like Wang San, he felt that Wang San's life in their home was really miserable. Now that Wang San ran away, Shen Qing looked up to him a little more: this man finally stopped pinning his hopes on others, thinking of shifting the conflict and letting others fight against his mother for him. Instead, he finally took the step to break free, even though he still did not dare to face his mother directly, but chose to escape in the form of sneaking away.

Although Shen Qing was somewhat happy for Wang San, it did not mean that he was willing to bear the reputation of being related to Wang San. Before Shen Qing spoke, Miao Shi could no longer sit still.

She was frightened that night, and her body was still shaking slightly. But after hearing what Wang Da said, Miao picked up the long bench she was sitting on and rushed out, smashing Wang Da's head and face: "I told you not to slander my brother! I told you not to talk nonsense! Do you have any shame in your Wang family? You are all mentally ill!"

The ultimate of fear is anger! Miao had embodied this sentence. The fear of the night turned into violence, and was all inflicted on Wang Da, who ignited her anger.

Wang Da was tied up like a dumpling, and he had no way to hide. He was hit twice on the head and face, and blood flowed from his nose. Zhao Youdang waited for Miao to beat him for a while before going up to persuade him - if you dare to steal from someone else's house, you must be prepared to be beaten. Nowadays, if the owner of the stolen goods does not beat the thief too severely, it will be useless. The official said the same thing: "Alright, don't tire you out anymore. You have been scared and angry all night, and you will sweat and spit!"

Aunt Guixiang also hurried over to help Miao, and kicked Wang Da twice: "Don't think that we can be fooled by making up such a story. You have sneaked into our village, and you still want to ruin the reputation of our village brothers! Your family came to Qing'er to beg Qing'er to let your third son marry into the family, but our Qing'er doesn't like your third son at all. Everyone in the village knows this? Now that the person is missing, you still dare to blame Qing'er. Do you people in Xiaoji Village have any shame? "

Zhao Youdang did not give them a chance to talk any more, to prevent some people who just wanted to watch the fun from getting even more excited. Since the identities of the four people had been figured out, Zhao Youdang directly picked a few men and dragged them to the village workshop to watch over them, and would take them to Xiaoji Village tomorrow to talk to their village chief.

Shen Qing and the others just thought that these people were talking nonsense to get away with it, but they didn't know that Old Lady Wang actually thought so!

Ever since she took Wang San to Shen Qing's house, and was exposed by Shen Qing in front of her and contradicted by Wang San, Wang San has become a completely different person when he returned home!

He was no longer diligent in doing housework, but compared himself with his brothers in eating and dressing. Whenever she gave the eldest and the youngest one an extra helping of eggs, Wang San would throw his chopsticks and shrug, his face as long as a donkey's.

Old Lady Wang had been partial to Wang San for so many years, and now she was asked to treat him equally. How could she bear it? She kept cursing Wang San at home, and hated Shen Qing in her heart: If he hadn't poked Wang San that day, Wang San would definitely still be the honest child he used to be, and how could he have so many cunning thoughts!

But time cannot be reversed. For Wang San, ever since Shen Qing rejected him and explained the truth to him, a seed of resistance was sown in his heart. This seed sprouted and grew day by day, and his desire to resist became stronger day by day. Wang San also saw things at home more clearly day by day.

His mother didn't love him at all, and his predicament couldn't be improved by a few words or fighting with his brothers for food or clothes. Even if he was the most favored child in the family, as long as he had such a bad temper, his predicament would not change - wouldn't his favored elder brother be unable to find a wife?

Wang San spent a long time figuring this out, and finally he understood why Shen Qing didn't want him.

He must rely entirely on himself and completely cut off ties with this family and his mother. Only then can his predicament be resolved and he can move on to the next step in his life instead of wasting time in this family.

So on a dark and windy night, Wang San took away half of the family's money: in fact, it was not much, only two taels of silver. And Wang San felt that he had always been the one who worked the most and was the most mistreated in the family, so this money was what he deserved.

When Wang Lao Niang woke up, she was furious. She hated Wang San for taking the family's money, hated Wang San for actually daring to resist her, and hated Shen Qing even more for instigating all this and making her son disobedient!

This damned boy, not only did he not follow her wishes and honestly take out the money, but he also poked her son to take the money and run away - yes, Wang Lao Niang thought, a boy like Shen Qing, which man would want it? How could he really look down on his own boy? He must be unwilling to pay the ten taels of silver, so he tricked Wang San into taking his own money to go to him, so that he could get a son-in-law for nothing! Otherwise, where could Wang San go? Wang Lao Niang didn't believe that he had the guts to run away!

It just so happened that Shen Qing went to Yucai Middle School to look for books during those days and was not in the village. After some inquiries, Wang Lao Niang thought that Shen Qing and Wang San were hiding somewhere.

She was really unwilling to accept this. How could she not get a penny for raising such a big boy after so many years? She also heard that Shen Qing invested the money in a tofu shop. She was afraid that all the cash would be spent. What would her remaining son use to marry a wife? She hurriedly summoned the remaining four boys in her family and planned this theft.

Although she sincerely believed that Wang San had run away with Shen Qing, the previous experience also made her realize that she was no match for Shen Qing. The subsequent confrontation with Wei the matchmaker made her realize that people from their Xiaoji Village would not be able to gain any advantage by going to Lantang Village!

If it doesn't work openly, they will do it secretly and take it themselves! The money that Old Lady Wang said she was taking back from her family was not only the two taels taken by Wang San, but also the ten taels of betrothal gift that she believed Shen Qing must give!

This was also thanks to the four brothers of the Wang family. They were not professional thieves. It was their first time doing such a thing and they had no experience. It took them a long time to climb the wall, but Shen Qing solved it so easily.

Old Lady Wang waited at home for a whole night, but her sons did not come back. She thought to herself: Isn't it bad that Shen Qing is not at home, and only Miao is left? Even if Shen Qing comes back, can't her four boys be defeated by a boy?

Until the sun was high in the sky, her heart was finally at peace: a woman who had always been at odds with her came to her house with a smile on her face, reporting the news: "Hey, Wang family, how dare you still live? The four boys in your family went to another village to steal things, and were caught by the master of that village. They were taken to the home of our village chief, and the master of that village is making a fuss and saying that he wants to see the officials! Our village chief is so embarrassed that he is going to drive your family out of the village!"

No family in this village can get along with this old lady Wang! Relying on the fact that she gave birth to five boys, she wants to walk sideways in the village. She is so poor, but she doesn't like this or that. She is hysterical every day, thinking that others are targeting her family. Some time ago, he even coveted her niece. Bah, why don't you take a piss and see if your family is worthy of her!

The four boys from the Wang family went out to steal things and even stole things from other villages, ruining the reputation of the entire Xiaoji Village. But the woman was more than angry, she felt happy: if this scourge of Old Lady Wang could be driven out of the village, it would be worth it to be gossiped about by other villages for a while!

In the past, Old Lady Wang would have had a quarrel with this woman. But when she heard that the village chief wanted to drive her family out of the village, Old Lady Wang panicked immediately. How could she care about these things? "The village chief is really confused! It was obviously that guy who was shameless and seduced my son for nothing. How can he blame my family? He is the village chief of our Xiaoji Village, how can he not protect my family!"

The old woman who passed the message rolled her eyes: Are you panicking now? How could you be so bold when you were planning to steal the money?

The head of the Little Chicken Village felt really unlucky! It was almost the New Year, a happy day, and he was just lying in the house playing with his grandson, but the head of Lantang Village came to his door early in the morning. He was so embarrassed!

The Wang family was still stubborn. What else could they say when they were caught in the act? It couldn't be that the people from Lantang Village sneaked into Xiaoji Village, kidnapped the people, and then framed them, right?

The head of the Little Chicken Village was not happy about the Wang family being in the village! Their family was like a troublemaker in the village. Many conflicts were caused by Wang, and she also said that others bullied her and her husband died early, and she wanted to force her orphans and widows to death. It was true that they were orphans and widows, but which orphan and widow would fight with other families all day long just because they had many children?

So when Zhao Youdang proposed that each person should be beaten with 80 sticks or driven out of the village, the head of Xiaoji Village was very tempted. But after all, he had lived in the same village for many years, and the head of Xiaoji Village was still hesitating because of his rare compassion. Old Lady Wang came to his door crying and said, "Head, you have to make the decision for me. How can we let the people from Lantang Village bully us? The guys from Lantang Village are shameless. They seduced my third son and didn't pay the betrothal money. How can this be justified? I let these guys in my family get the betrothal money. He is with my third son and we are one family. How can this be called stealing?"

Shen Qing almost laughed out of anger: "Are you sick? Did you see him go to my house with your own eyes or what?"

Old Lady Wang put her hands on her waist and said confidently, "Who else could it be but you? It was you who provoked my son to talk back to me last time with just a few words, and then he told you that he was willing to stay in your family as a son-in-law, and he didn't even need any betrothal money - you're looking at me and I don't know?"

"Since you know about this, you should also know that I didn't agree." Shen Qing was speechless: "I told Wang San very clearly at the time that I don't want to have anything to do with someone like you, so even if Wang San is okay, I won't want him."

"Village chief, did you hear that? He admitted that he thought our third child was okay!" Old Lady Wang seemed to only hear what she wanted to hear. "So for your sake, he no longer wanted me as his mother and cut off all ties with me. Isn't this just what you wanted!"
