Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.
When he opened ...
Everyone was shocked!
I don't know what Aunt Niu is so smug about. Your son is tied up in the back!
Your son attempted to rape that young girl!
What did you say to the captain, "A wife who is not virtuous and a son who is not filial!"
Gai Fengniang didn't see her son, who was tied up in the crowd, but she did see Li Xiangdong following Li Jin with his head down and his clothes torn beyond recognition.
Unlike Aunt Niu, she didn't dare to directly confront Li Jin. Instead, she quietly whispered to the person next to her, "Look at him, the brigade leader is always interfering with this and that, yet he still hasn't raised his own son well!"
The aunt next to her gave her a strange look, but didn't say anything. She just moved away from her, keeping her distance. This crazy woman doesn't even know what sins her son has committed, yet she keeps blabbering about others.
When Fengniang saw that no one was trying to persuade her, she wasn't angry and continued to stand aside, watching the excitement with great interest.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Jin snapped at Aunt Niu. "Where's your old ox? Why didn't he come?"
Aunt Niu was puzzled. "Old Niu doesn't like watching excitement; he's at home weaving mats!"
Weaving mats involves weaving individual reed strips into mats for use on a heated brick bed.
"Watching the show?"
Li Jin was speechless at this woman's thought process. Was there something wrong with her nerve?
"Go and call your old ox, tell him to go to the brigade headquarters. We need to have a serious talk about what to do about this! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare he rape an orphan girl! He's utterly audacious!"
Li Jin's voice was as cold as frost.
"Hey! What's the use of bringing Lao Niu here? If you ask me, rape is a serious crime. Why send him to the brigade headquarters? Just call the police!"
Aunt Niu said nonchalantly.
Everyone realized something was wrong. What did Aunt Niu mean? She usually doted on this son, so why was she asking to call the police?
Considering what she said to the captain earlier—that his wife was unvirtuous and his children were unfilial—could this auntie possibly think the rapist was Li Xiangdong?
Someone couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Aunt Niu, your son not only raped, but he also tried to kill someone!"
"They have to be arrested. They raped and murdered him. What? My son?"
Aunt Niu didn't hear clearly at first, but when she realized what was happening, her face turned pale, and she felt as if all the strength in her legs had been drained away.
Li Jin glanced at her. "If he's not your son, then is he my son?"
No sooner had she said that than Aunt Niu let out a "snap," her eyes popped upwards, and she fainted!
