When Lord Li heard Su Huaiyue's answer, he looked at Wang Laosan thoughtfully and smiled slightly, but did not ask any more questions.
Wang Laosan's pretense failed and he was forced to admit his mistake. Even if he was stupid, he could still hear the ambiguous answer from Su Huaiyue's mouth.
Li Er curled his lips and looked at Wang Laosan meaningfully, feeling secretly proud that although the situation was chaotic, he had already gained the upper hand.
The crowd around was silent for a moment.
Li Er was very proud, and his face showed a confidence that seemed to be in control of the overall situation.
He raised his chin slightly, a smug arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a coquettish light flashed in his eyes.
He declared arrogantly, "Well, Wang Laosan, you didn't kill the fox at all.
Since Madam Wei has said so, why don’t we just follow our previous bet and fulfill our agreement!
A man's words are as good as his words, so don't deny them."
His words were full of provocation, and he glanced at Wang Laosan smugly, as if he had already expected this result.
Wang Laosan said nothing, his face suddenly turned gloomy, almost as if water could drip out of it.
The veins on his clenched fists were exposed and they were trembling slightly, revealing the raging anger in his body.
This was the first time Wang Laosan had made a fool of himself in front of so many people. Where was his dignity going to be?!
He glared at Su Huaiyue fiercely, as if he wanted to pierce through her with his gaze. The anger in his heart instantly ignited.
Although he knew in his heart that he had lost the bet, if he did not fulfill the bet today, he would be accused of being dishonest in the future.
There seemed to be an invisible sense of oppression in the air. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for Wang Laosan to react. Those people were waiting to laugh at him.
Seeing this, Wei Yunrou moved slightly and wanted to say something to help her sister-in-law, but Su Huaiyue gently held her arm.
She turned her head slightly and exchanged a meaningful look with Wei Yunrou, signaling her to be patient.
Su Huaiyue still stood there with an expressionless face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
She knew that if she tried to excuse Wang Laosan at this time, it would only make him more angry.
So he just stood there silently, looking firmly at Zhier who was playing not far away.
Su Huaiyue could never forget the scene of him raising the whip to hit her ear.
Now it was Wang Laosan's turn to face such an embarrassing situation, and he just stood here and watched him make a fool of himself, feeling so proud in his heart.
Wang Laosan finally raised his head slowly and said to Li Er through gritted teeth, "Okay, you're awesome. I admit defeat today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he announced to everyone present, word by word, "I, Wang Laosan, keep my word. Today I will crawl!"
Having said that, he reluctantly began to fulfill the bet.
Wang Laosan's heart was extremely complicated at this moment. His slightly trembling shoulders revealed his inner unwillingness and helplessness, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes of being forced to accept.
He pursed his lips tightly, as if trying to hide his inner anger and shame, but in the end he lowered his head under the pressure of everyone.
His fat butt was raised up and he supported himself on the ground with his hands and feet. In just a moment, he was sweating profusely and panting with exhaustion.
He crawled around the camp in circles, his flesh trembling with every movement.
By the time he reached the last lap, his whole body was shaking.
When everyone saw this, they burst into laughter, as if they could not imagine that such a funny scene would actually happen.
Li Er was completely different, his pride was evident in his words.
He stood aside with his hands on his hips, a slanted smile on his lips, and a hint of mockery and contempt in his eyes.
Li Er sometimes held his stomach and laughed, and sometimes slapped his thighs, so that his facial muscles twitched slightly.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Wang Laosan's figure seemed particularly abrupt.
Soon the farce was over.
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Su Huaiyue quietly pulled Wei Zhi aside and handed him a piece of hidden pork belly: "How about this? Today's show was good, wasn't it? We finally got rid of our anger. Let's see if Wang Laosan dares to bully us next time."
There was a gleam in Wei Zhi's eyes. He nodded excitedly and looked at Su Huaiyue gratefully.
I didn't expect that my mother was actually venting her anger for him, even though he was almost beaten by Wang Laosan before.
But being able to get my mother's care in this way makes me feel very satisfied.
At this time, Wei Li also came over excitedly: "Mom is still the most powerful. She helped brother vent his anger."
Everyone slowly dispersed, and the camp was filled with laughter.
The foxes were very fat and everyone was very happy.
Except for Wang Laosan who still looked unhappy, everyone seemed to be in high spirits.
The women carried the three foxes to process the meat.
The men lit a fire and set up a pot, just hoping to eat the food as soon as possible.
The children danced with joy, they all had a great meal tonight.
Su Huaiyue walked towards the tent alone. She had been lying on the ground hunting today and her clothes were a little dirty, so she wanted to change.
However, before he had walked far, Wei Che followed closely behind him. He quickened his pace slightly and caught up with Su Huaiyue.
"Su Huaiyue, wait for me."
Wei Che called him, his tone somewhat hurried and a little reproachful.
"You just embarrassed Wang Laosan in front of so many people. That's not a good thing to do. We can't afford to offend someone like him."
Su Huaiyue stopped and turned to look at Wei Che with doubt and confusion in her eyes.
Good job, this man really came after her just to accuse her.
He raised his hand and touched the broken hair on the tip of his temples. With a hint of uncontrollable anger in his tone, he said angrily: "So you mean to make me swallow my anger? If this continues, people like him will become more unscrupulous."
“…”
Wei Che was speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to remind Su Huaiyue to be more cautious of Wang Laosan in the future, but the words somehow turned into accusations as soon as they came to his lips.
Su Huaiyue's words made him at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.
Facing Su Huaiyue's determined and angry expression, he was a little at a loss, and his tone was slightly stuttering: "That's not what I meant, I..."
"You know, sometimes blindly giving in will only make the enemy more aggressive."
Su Huaiyue's voice was firm and clear, no longer as gentle as before.
She no longer looked at Wei Che, but turned and left, heading towards the place where the cuckoo was caught.
Wei Che stood there in a daze, staring at Su Huaiyue's determined back as he left, his heart suddenly filled with mixed emotions.
At this moment, he felt a little guilty about what he had said just now. He was keenly aware that Su Huaiyue seemed to have experienced many unknown stories behind her, which made her so unwilling to give in.
