Da Yong had no intention of letting him off the hook.
He bent down, grabbed Shi Zhenxiang's hand, and twisted it hard, breaking Shi Zhenxiang's hand. Then he broke the other hand.
He then grabbed Shi Zhenxiang's leg and snapped it at the knee with a crack, followed by the other leg.
Shi Zhenxiang opened his eyes in pain, his eyes were frighteningly red, and before he could even let out a cry of pain, he fainted.
"As you can see, this person harassed my fiancée and used vulgar language. I did this simply to prevent such a situation from happening again."
Da Yong kicked Shi Zhenxiang to the side of the road like he was kicking a dog.
Then he picked up those things again.
The people of Lingjia Village turned pale with fright at the sight.
They never expected the Qiao family to be so skilled in combat, with such a menacing aura, leaving one person half-dead while remaining completely calm and collected.
“I saw it, I saw it. It’s Shizhen Township’s fault. He deserves it.” A timid villager quickly nodded.
Shi Zhenxiang's parents, eldest uncle, and third uncle have all been arrested. In this situation, no one in the family will stand up for him.
This person was already annoying to begin with, drooling over the village girls like an animal. Now that he's crippled all over, no one will feel any sympathy for him.
Lingyin glanced at the man beside her. He was protecting her so much, not allowing her to suffer the slightest grievance.
A sweet smile appeared on her face.
Qiao Lian'er wanted to keep an eye on the carriage, so she didn't get off.
After a while, Dayong returned, carrying some things in his hands and holding a jar in one of his arms.
"The jar contains kimchi, made from the tenderest cabbage hearts. This is smoked dried meat, and this is freshly made braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens."
“My uncle and aunt insisted on giving me these things, so I put some back. I couldn’t refuse them all, lest I hurt their feelings.”
After saying all that, Da Yong didn't say much on the way back.
She was also sitting on the front of the car. Qiao Lian'er turned his head and glanced at her; his face was gloomy.
It seems that even making Shi Zhenxiang look like this still cannot quell his anger.
He went back and told Old Lady Qiao that he had bought another shop for 300 taels of silver, and Old Lady Qiao presented the money.
"But Lian'er, this way we'll only have twenty taels left. We'll need that for the wedding banquet and your older cousin's wedding. It might not be enough."
"Grandma, don't worry, we can recoup some of the costs by renting out this shop." Qiao Lian'er said, "However, things are tense these days, so I won't collect rent for now. Let's hold off for a while."
"What's going on? What happened?" Grandma Qiao asked quickly.
Qiao Lian'er told Old Lady Qiao about the matter of collecting half of the silver and grain, and Old Lady Qiao was shocked and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
She patted her chest and said, "Good heavens! Half of the silver and grain will be levied! I'm an old woman who's lived for decades and have never encountered such a heavy tax before. How are ordinary people supposed to survive?"
Old Man Qiao heard it too, and his expression became very serious.
"They're fighting in the north, and they've come here to levy taxes and silver, and they're doing it so relentlessly. Knowing their nature, they've definitely taken more than half of what they need."
Suddenly remembering something, the two elders exchanged a glance.
There are only two hundred catties of grain at home. If we sell the shop tomorrow, we'll only have twenty-odd taels left.
In other words, their family doesn't have to pay too much money or grain.
They realized that Qiao Lian'er had been preparing for this for a long time.
Pay the workers extra money so they can build the yard as quickly as possible.
Prepare the accounts in advance and sort out all the accounts.
Sell all the grain harvested at home.
Use the money you have to buy a shop.
