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 ...
Li Xiangdong whispered to Li Jin, "Dad, Ning Ruoruo has called the police. Not only will the police arrest Niu Guang and Liu Baobao and put them in jail, but their families will also have to pay Ning Ruoruo financial compensation. Don't try to smooth things over here anymore. Look at Ning Ruoruo, does she look like an ordinary girl in our village who's easy to fool? With her stubbornness, if you don't send someone to call the police, she'll go herself!"
Li Jin sighed. Although he didn't want to make a big deal out of this for various reasons, since the victim insisted, he wouldn't stop him. "Shuangxi, go to the commune's police station and report the case!"
There was no telephone at the brigade headquarters of Lijiapo Village. The only bicycle in the village belonged to Aunt Niu. She certainly couldn't lend the bicycle to the person who was going to the police station to report her son's arrest. Zhao Shuangxi had no choice but to run to the commune. Fortunately, Lijiapo Village was not far from the commune's police station.
When Old Niu, Aunt Niu, and Gai Feng's parents saw that Zhao Shuangxi had actually gone to report the crime, they immediately erupted in anger. Aunt Niu and Gai Feng's mother struggled to push through the crowd and were about to grab Ning Ruoruo, shouting, "You slut, you've ruined my son!"
The crowd couldn't let the two of them catch Ning Ruoruo, so they quickly stood in front of Ning Ruoruo and tried to stop them. But the two of them got angry and didn't care who was in front of them. They started scratching wildly with their sharp nails.
Li Jin, Li Kang, and several other aunties and older women had their faces scratched by the two of them. Li Jin, who had been suppressing his anger, suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore and stretched out his big hand to slap Gai Fengniang and Aunt Niu across the face!
"Have you two lost your minds? Niu Yonggui, Liu Laonian! You two better take care of your wives. If you don't, someone else will!"
"Furthermore, every country has its laws, and every village has its rules! Niu Guang and Liu Baobao have broken the law, and the police station will naturally handle their case soon! But before that, as the captain of the Lijiapo Brigade, I must punish this behavior that is corrupting the village's atmosphere!"
"Li Kang, you're the head of security, give each of them ten lashes!"
Li Kang had been holding back for a long time. Upon hearing Li Jin's order, he immediately went to the brigade office and took out the whip he had used to drive the horse-drawn carriage a few years ago. He first cracked the whip a few times in the air, making a loud sound as the air was broken.
Gai Feng's father was terrified. He had seen Li Kang whip thieves before, and with one lash, the thief's back would be torn open. How could his own son's small body withstand that?
He walked shakily to Li Jin and pleaded, "Captain, please spare Bao Bao! My Liu family has a single son on thousands of acres of land. If these ten lashes are lashed, Bao Bao will be half dead!"
Li Jin's face was cold and he remained silent.
Aunt Niu was still yelling from the side, "So what if we report it? I'm not afraid even if you report it to the provincial level! To tell you the truth, our family has connections at the police station!"
"Li Jin, if you dare to touch a single hair on my Guang'er's head today, I'll report you for vigilante justice and make sure you can't even be the captain anymore!"
Li Jin nodded, "Alright! Before I can become the brigade leader, I'll have to get these ten lashes first!"
"beat!"
