Chapter 65: No Tolerance

Zhao Yaozu was furious. These women were really capable. If they were just helping others, it would be fine, but they were obviously harming Li Sihui. As the village chief, he would never tolerate it.

"I'll go call for help."

Liu Changshui glared fiercely at Grandma Li, who was pleading with the village chief with snot and tears on her face. What a black-hearted old lady! How could she still do such a wicked thing at such an old age?

Liu Changshui took the gong and started beating it all over the village: "Everyone, come out quickly. Someone is practicing feudal superstition."

When he shouted like this, the villagers who were already lying on the kangs quickly got up. This was a very lively event and they couldn't miss it.

Li Jianguo and his sister were lying on a bed made of wooden planks. He didn't know why he felt uneasy tonight. He looked out the window from time to time, feeling that something was not going well tonight. Maybe he was frightened by his father and Li Guozhu, and was afraid that they would come to steal things again at night.

Li Sihui closed her eyes to rest. She also couldn't sleep. She wanted to know whether the village chief and his men had gone there or not? Would they catch them in the act? What would they do if they were caught?

As for Liu Jingyun and Li Laogen, they were lying on the kang where Old Wang had died, and they felt a chill in their spines.

But the window is made of paper and no one has lived there for a long time. When the wind blows, it makes a rustling sound, which is particularly scary in the quiet night.

"Old Li, look, is there someone standing by the window?"

Liu Jingyun was suspicious. She always felt that Lao Wang was leaning against the window and looking into the house. She quickly shrank into Li Laogen's arms and dared not look at the window again.

"No, don't scare yourself."

Li Laogen looked out the window anxiously, feeling vaguely uneasy. He had pulled his daughter's hair with his own hands, and he didn't know how Zhao Cuihua and Sun Erya would deal with her.

After all, he still had not completely lost his conscience. He felt a little sorry for his daughter, but then he thought, who told her to be disobedient?

She had no respect for her father, and didn't even give him a bite of delicious food. She closed her eyes and stopped thinking about her. Love her however you want! It was all her own fault.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of gongs, which scared the two of them and made them jump up from the kang.

"Listen, what's that shouting?"

Li Laogen pushed Liu Jingyun. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong. His heart began to beat in fear. Something bad had happened...

"It seems like they have caught someone performing a shaman act."

Liu Jingyun also heard clearly what Liu Changshui shouted, and was immediately frightened and collapsed on the kang.

How did these two useless things get discovered?

"What can I do?"

Li Laogen was so scared that he rubbed his hands. Although he was not caught in the act, he was the one who pulled out the girl's hair and gave it to Zhao Cuihua. If it was revealed, would he also be criticized?

"I will never admit it."

Liu Jingyun was also afraid, but she thought that since she and Li Laogen had not been caught, as long as they refused to admit it, the village chief would have no choice.

Besides, all the men, young and old in the village were called out by Liu Changshui and gathered in the threshing ground. Generally, all the meetings in the village were held here.

At this time, four or five torches had been lit on the threshing floor, illuminating the middle area.

Granny Li was still wearing her shaman costume. She stood there with a deathly pale face and her head hung, like a defeated rooster.

Zhao Cuihua and Sun Erya stood there with their heads down, you hit me and I poked you, blaming each other.

"All the men in the village are here! Today we caught three women who were practicing feudal superstition and harming people. Everyone, watch out. We will never allow such things to happen in Kaoshan Village. What do you think we should do with these three people?"
