Wang Dafu couldn't help but feel aroused when he thought of Yang Meiqin's alluring charm. Yang Meiqin was bold and uninhibited, something that none of the concubines in the family could match.

Thinking of Yang Meiqin's wantonness beneath him, Wang Dafu chuckled, his fat puffing up in a heap. Without a second thought, he kicked open Yang Meiqin's door and leered, "Little lady, I'm here! I'm here to pamper you!"

Upon hearing that familiar tune, Yang Meiqin reacted swiftly, shoving Lu Yanping aside, disheveling her hair, and letting out a shrill scream: "Help! You've been molested!"

Lu Yanping, who had been pushed away, was stunned and looked at Yang Meiqin in disbelief: "You... what did you say?"

Upon seeing Wang Dafu, Yang Meiqin, as if seeing a lifeline, threw herself at his feet and began to cry hysterically, "Master, thank goodness you came, otherwise I would have no face to see you."

Wang Dafu steadied himself, found a stool to sit down, glanced at the stunned Lu Yanping, and asked with a serious expression, "What's going on?"

"Master, you must do justice for me! This scoundrel cannot be let off!" Hearing Wang Dafu ask this, Yang Meiqin cried even harder, her tears falling like raindrops.

Yang Meiqin sobbed a few times, her eyes darting around, and said in a seductive voice, "Master, I'm just a widow, everyone can bully me." She then pointed angrily at Lu Yanping, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "It was him! He just sneaked into my courtyard and started hugging and embracing me. I couldn't escape and almost suffered humiliation. Luckily, Master arrived in time, otherwise… otherwise… I would have no face to see Master!"

Lu Yanping trembled with anger at Yang Meiqin's ability to turn the tables on him: "You..."

He did sneak into Yang Meiqin's yard. He was afraid of being seen, and even more afraid of his mother finding out, so he didn't dare to enter through the main gate and sneaked over the wall. And he did indeed start kissing and hugging Yang Meiqin right away.

But what kind of person is Yang Meiqin? A prostitute, anyone who pays her will do. She's probably seduced every man in the village. Lu Yanping is young and not bad-looking, but every time he's slept with Yang Meiqin for free.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanping was furious, his face contorted with rage: "You slut, who doesn't know you're a whore, a bastard ridden by a thousand men, and now you're pretending to be a chaste and virtuous woman."

Yang Meiqin flinched in fright and quickly hid behind Wang Dafu, looking pitiful: "Master, I'm scared!"

Wang Dafu patted Yang Meiqin on the back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it for you!"

Looking at Lu Yanping in front of him, Wang Dafu showed disdain. Dressed in coarse linen clothes typical of country folk, his eyes darted around, clearly showing he had never seen the world. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old country bumpkin, daring to mess with his woman, he must be tired of living.

Wang Dafu shouted towards the door, "Laifu!"

"Master!" Laifu pushed open the door and bowed respectfully to Wang Dafu.

Wang Dafu raised his hand towards Lu Yanping: "Go, teach him a lesson. He dares to touch my woman, he's asking for trouble!"

"Yes!" Lai Fu responded, walked up to Lu Yanping, grabbed his collar, and dragged him out.

Lu Yanping rarely did farm work and was spoiled by Li Shi. Facing the tall and burly cart driver Lai Fu, he was completely helpless. Hearing that he was to be punished, he was so frightened that he wet himself and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Sir, please spare me! I'll never dare to do it again!"

Wang Dafu impatiently yelled at Laifu, "Move away from me and keep making noise!"

Wang Dafu is truly ruthless. His henchman, Yang Meiqin, knows a thing or two; she's tall and strong, and if Lu Yanping fell into his hands, who knows what kind of beating he'd give him. If she offends Wang Dafu, her fate might be even worse than Lu Yanping's!

Suppressing her fear, Yang Meiqin feigned gratitude and cried, "Master is my heaven. Every time you save me from danger, I don't know how to repay you."

Yang Meiqin cried with tears streaming down her face, her shoulders trembling. Her clothes had slipped down, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders.

Wang Dafu felt a surge of heat throughout his body. He pulled Yang Meiqin into his arms and said lecherously, "Want to repay your master? Come on, let me see what you've got." With that, he ripped off Yang Meiqin's clothes and lay down on top of her.

Yang Meiqin giggled: "Grandpa, you're so naughty!"

A scream came from outside the door, echoing the indescribable sounds coming from inside the room.

...

Mrs. Li searched the entire village for her son, but couldn't find him. Remembering her son's words about Huang Qingqing being inferior to Yang Meiqin, Mrs. Li didn't linger and turned to walk towards Yang Meiqin's house.

Before even reaching the door, I heard a series of screams. They didn't sound like that kind of thing; they sounded like someone had been beaten. The voices sounded somewhat familiar.

Li listened carefully and exclaimed, "Why does it sound so much like Yanping's voice!"

As Lu Yanping was being beaten, he cried out for his mother, "Mother, my mother, save me! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Mother, please save me!"

Hey, it really is her son!

Li rushed forward and roared, "Who hit my son!"

Hearing the voice, Laifu turned around and saw Li Shi. He thought she looked familiar. "Isn't this the woman who beat up Yang Meiqin on the way that day? Are they mother and son?"

Lai Fu only glanced at Li Shi, but his fist did not stop.

Upon closer inspection, Li realized that this was Yang Meiqin's lover's rickshaw driver. Seeing this, she understood immediately: her son had undoubtedly come to see that slut Yang Meiqin again, and had just been caught by her lover.

Mrs. Li was disappointed in her son, but seeing him being beaten, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Li was also clever; she knew that a direct confrontation wouldn't work, so she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Fellow villagers, come quick! Someone's been killed! Outsiders have come to our village and are beating people!"

Hearing the commotion, the villagers rushed out to join in the fun, some even bringing brooms and sticks.

When Laifu saw this, he was stunned. He stopped punching, crossed his arms, and glanced at the group of villagers with disdain.

Judging from Fu's demeanor, the villagers didn't think he was afraid of trouble; his clothes and appearance suggested that he came from a powerful family.

None of them dared to step forward.

"Yanping, my son!" Li cried out as she ran to the side of the beaten man, tears streaming down her face.

Although Li was known for her meanness and poor interpersonal skills in the village, the village as a whole was still very united. At that moment, someone shouted:

"The village chief is here!"

The village chief looked at the scene before him and was furious. He pointed at Laifu and said, "Which village are you from? How dare you come to our village to beat people and cause trouble?"

Lai Fu snorted and walked towards the carriage not far away.

Horse-drawn carriage?

This is clearly the standard equipment of a wealthy family. How did Lu Yanping offend such a big shot?

...

At the same time, Gu Nanjiao, Lu's mother, and her younger sister had just finished packing up their stall and arrived home. Before they could even sit down for a cup of tea, they heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Is anyone home? Is Gu Nanjiao home?"

Gu Nanjiao was puzzled. Who was looking for her? Judging from the voice, it was a man!

Gu Nanjiao was stunned when she saw the person at the door.

"Wang Sang? What are you doing here? How did you find my house?"

Wang Sang didn't answer her question. He collapsed at the doorway, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat.

Wang Sang's fat face was full of anxiety. He wiped the sweat from his face haphazardly, panting heavily, "Master Gu... Master Gu... Master Gu..."

Seeing Wang Sang covered in sweat and too exhausted to speak, Gu Nanjiao quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him: "Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened to my father?"

"Master Gu...Master Gu has been beaten up?"

"What?"

"My dad got beaten up?"
