"You... you old bastard, you still have the nerve to come here and talk nonsense.
Silly girl, come here!"
The captain's wife yelled at the silly girl.
"Oh..." Silly girl had been slapped by Wang Zicheng before, and her face was covered with snot and tears. Then when she heard the captain's wife shouting at her, she was so scared that she trembled and timidly moved towards the captain's wife.
"Look at what my daughter is holding? And look at what your grandson is holding.
This little bastard of yours cheated my daughter time and time again, using his broken steamed bread to trick my daughter into giving him the food she stole from home.
You are so wicked, not only wicked but also shameless. You two are weak and don't know the difference between grains. Not only do you not work hard in the team, but you also take advantage of the team and even run out to eat and drink for free.
Bah! You shameless thing, just piss and drown yourself."
The captain's wife pointed at the coarse flour steamed bread in Silly Girl's hand, and then pointed at the corn cake that Wang Zicheng had not let go of even though he was dizzy from the beating, and started cursing.
"She...she insisted on switching with me." Wang Zicheng finally came to his senses and quickly defended himself, but his mouth was so swollen that his speech was a little unclear.
"Bullshit! I'll let you tell lies with your eyes open, and I'll tear your mouth apart." The captain's wife slapped Wang Zicheng twice in a row, and then really opened her fingers to tear Wang Zicheng's mouth apart.
"Let my grandson go!" Wang Fengxue got anxious when he saw this, and immediately rushed forward and kicked the captain's wife to the ground.
"Ah! You dare to hit me? I'll fight you!" The captain's wife jumped up and rushed forward like crazy.
“Uncle…Uncle…the monsters and demons beat my aunt, Dad…the monsters and demons beat my aunt…” A boy shouted and rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the team leader’s house.
After a while, two strong young men rushed in and beat Wang Fengxue and Wang Zicheng.
"Ah! The captain's two sons are rushing up."
"His two sons are famous for their love of fighting."
"This is going to be fun."
"Oh! That guy surnamed Wang was scratched by the captain's wife."
"Yes, my face is all scratched."
"The clothes are torn."
"Pull the grandparents and grandchildren together and beat them up!"
"He didn't beat anyone to death! Why hasn't the captain come yet?"
"I don't understand. The captain will wait until his sons have beaten enough people before showing up. Isn't that what he always does?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... these grandparents and grandchildren, I guess even their mother wouldn't recognize them now."
…
More and more people gathered around, and the discussions grew louder. A small figure nimbly slipped through the crowd and disappeared silently in the deafening noise.
The result of that day was that the two sons of the production team leader and the two nephews who arrived later beat Wang Fengxue and Wang Zicheng until they were covered in blood and unconscious, and were carried back.
Although the incident was caused by Wang Zicheng's misconduct and the production team leader's daughter had been deceived for a long time, the production team leader was still generous enough to help invite a doctor to treat the wounds of the grandfather and grandson.
According to the barefoot doctor, both the grandfather and grandson had only skin injuries and nothing serious. They would be fine after a few days of rest.
In order to allow the grandparents and grandchildren to recover from their injuries, the "kind" production team leader asked other members of the team to share their labor tasks. This result caused extreme dissatisfaction among the members.
So all his anger was directed at the grandparents and grandchildren. For example, while the two were recuperating from their injuries, the steamed bread delivered to them every day became noticeably smaller, and even the vegetable porridge was so thin that a person's reflection could be seen in it.
"Grandpa, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore. When can we go back to Pingdu? Didn't you say you had a way to get us back? What is that way? Wuuuuu..."
Wang Zicheng wailed, holding his empty stomach.
He was so hungry these days that he couldn't stand it anymore. The steamed bread that he used to despise and couldn't swallow, he now eats it all up. After drinking the vegetable porridge, he would lick the bowl clean.
Even so, he was still so hungry that he couldn't sleep at night. When he had no other choice, he could only drink a bellyful of cold water to relieve the pain.
After this beating, he no longer had the courage to run out and beg for food.
Before, besides that silly girl, there were two other girls who were also deceived by him. But after this incident, every family ordered their children to stay away from him, and it would be difficult for him to find another opportunity in the future.
Besides, my whole body aches and it’s difficult for me to even walk, so how can I get out?
"I have already written the letter. I will wait a few days to see if anyone goes to the county town, and then ask someone to help mail it. Grandpa can guarantee that as long as the letter is sent, we will have hope when we return to Pingdu.
Humph! When I return to Pingdu...I will not let any of those people in this village who have offended us go."
Wang Fengxue's gnashing teeth made his face, which was still covered in bruises and purple, look even more hideous and terrifying.
"I will kill the production team leader's two sons, two nephews, his wife, and those who talk about us. I will kill them all." Wang Zicheng's ferocious look with his fists clenched was exactly the same as Wang Fengxue's.
"Yes, after we return and stabilize ourselves, we will definitely find an opportunity to come back and let them see how glorious we are, so that they will regret it and be unable to curry favor with us. That will be the most painful thing for them."
Especially after this incident, Wang Fengxue dreamed of this day coming true.
"The problem is that I'm starving now. Grandpa, please think of a solution!
You insisted on bringing me here at the beginning, saying that only you could protect me and only you could protect the only root of the Wang family.
Is this how you protect me? If I had known this, I would have gone to the Northwest with my dad!"
Wang Zicheng was full of resentment towards Wang Fengxue.
"You wait at home." Not only Wang Zicheng, but Wang Fengxue was also so hungry that his stomach was almost sticking to his back. If it weren't for his bruised face and difficulty walking, he would have gone out to solve his stomach problem long ago.
"Then go quickly, and be sure to bring me more food!" Wang Zicheng was so hungry that he didn't even bother to ask Wang Fengxue where to find food or who to ask for it.
Wang Zicheng waited alone at home and drank two glasses of cold water in a row. It was not until late at night that Wang Fengxue returned.
"Eat!" Wang Fengxue actually brought back food.
"Oh! Corn tortillas?" Wang Zicheng took the two big and thick corn tortillas, which were already cold, and exclaimed, then began to eat them voraciously.
There were several times when I choked so much that I stretched my neck but I didn't want to stop, and I ate two pancakes in one breath.
Wang Fengxue: “…”
Watching his grandson eating with relish, I felt gratified but at the same time I couldn't feel happy. There were two big pancakes, but when his grandson was eating them, I didn't even ask him if he had eaten them.
Although he had filled his stomach, he still felt a little empty and uncomfortable in his heart.
