The two men led Erniu toward the Wang family's house. At this time, everyone was at home cooking meat dumplings, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of meat, making Wang Erniu's mouth water and her stomach start to rumble.
Ma Da Sao glanced at Er Niu, feeling utterly disgusted. Her three children were still hungry; how could a meager amount of canned fruit and stewed meat possibly fill them up? Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
Village Chief Ma was a man, and his stride was naturally long. As a result, Erniu was in a tragic situation. She had to jog to keep up with them, even though she was hungry and in pain.
The gate to the Wang family compound was wide open, and Wang Erniu could be vaguely seen standing in the main room. Village Chief Ma strode in, and the scene before him completely changed his mind, which had been watching the daily lives of villagers for more than ten years and who thought he knew everything. Fighting and bickering were common in the village, but he had never seen a whole family get bloodshed.
Sister-in-law Ma was terrified, her thoughts mirroring San Niu's: this family is insane! She grabbed her husband and tried to run away, but the village chief, caught off guard, nearly fell over.
Before I could even ask, Sister-in-law Ma had already answered: "Old Ma, this is a huge problem, we can't handle it. Let's go find the village doctor, the village secretary, and all the villagers need to lend a hand."
Village Chief Ma nodded, and the two split up; one went to find the village doctor, while the other headed straight for the Party Secretary's house.
As she ran, Ma Da Sao shouted, "Help! Something's happened at Wang Gou Dan's house! Everyone, come and lend a hand!"
Yan Xiaoqiang's house smelled wonderful today, with the aroma of meat, rice, and vegetables. Before dark, Yan Xiaoqiang and Dongnan returned home, and Grandma Yan told them what had happened that day. Enraged, Yan Xiaoqiang and Dongnan picked up shovels and prepared to go to the Wang family to fight. "How dare you bully my mother and daughter while I'm away? You've really gone too far!"
Grandma Yan and Cuihua held him back desperately: "Son, what if you accidentally kill someone? You'll be in big trouble! Look, Nan Nan is not even two years old yet. You can go without worry!"
The fact that Nan Nan was not even two years old stopped the two of them in their tracks. Yes, their little girl was still so young. If something happened to them, their mother and little girl would be bullied to death.
Seeing that the two were softening, Grandma Yan took the shovels from their hands and rolled her eyes at them: "Are their lives more precious than yours or something? You still want to risk your life? Don't worry, their family will start making trouble first."
Grandma Yan's words were truly infallible; everything was prepared as soon as she spoke. Ma Da Sao's voice came from outside, and upon closer listening, it was clear that something had indeed happened to the Wang family.
Bei Nan said angrily, "Just kill them already, why bother helping them? They're a family of ingrates. I even gave them two fish that Zhong Nan caught last time. They're such ingrates."
Yan Xiaonan's consciousness began to return, and he saw that Grandma Wang and the others were lying on the ground, while Wang Erniu was standing still with a carrying pole in his hand. Upon closer inspection, Yan Xiaonan realized that Wang Erniu was not still, but his whole body was shaking so badly that he could not move.
Wang Erniu stood blankly at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Sanniu hid by the chicken coop and did not move, and Wang Siniu leaned against the corner of the room, trembling, not daring to lift her head. Tsk tsk tsk, they were really too pitiful.
Her consciousness returned to the people lying on the ground. Wang Gou Dan was fine, with only superficial wounds. Although they looked bloody and scary, they were just cuts and bleeding. His wife had some internal injuries, but she would recover in a few days. The one who was in trouble was Grandma Wang. She had been traumatized too much and would probably have a stroke.
Alas, one can live with the sins of Heaven, but not with the sins of oneself. It's all the fault of greed. I need to pull myself back to eating food and meat; that's the most important thing.
Similarly, the villagers of Mushroom Village were overjoyed today. Every household was preparing, having not smelled the aroma of meat for so long. Today they were going to have a good meal. The strong men in the family even brought out their treasured old wines that had been stored for who knows how many years. Before the wine was even opened, their mouths were already watering, making the children in the family giggle.
Hearing Ma Dasao's shout, everyone was stunned. Tang Jianjun slammed down his wine cup and said, "What's wrong with this Wang Gou Dan? Doesn't he let people eat? He's such a troublemaker."
Aunt Tang told Tang Jianjun to have a sip of wine and a bite of meat before he went. What was the big deal? It was just that his father had beaten his daughter too badly. His family was just too much trouble.
Tang Jianjun nodded, agreeing with his wife. Last time, she had beaten his daughter so badly that she ran around everywhere, and the whole village heard her screaming for help. In the end, she was fine, so he sat down and invited his wife and daughter to eat meat.
Ma Da Sao's shouts didn't elicit many responses. Everyone shared the same thoughts as Tang Jianjun's family: eating meat was the most important thing today. As for meddling and watching the spectacle, sorry, I'm too busy today.
In the end, only a few women who were on good terms with Ma Dasao came to the Wang family's door, but when they saw the scene inside, they all turned and ran away. Had Wang Erniu lost his mind?
When the village doctor and the village secretary arrived, only Ma Da Sao was standing outside the courtyard gate, staring at Wang Er Niu. The village doctor quickly ran in and noticed that Wang Er Niu's body was shaking. He immediately told Wang Er Niu to boil some water and give Er Niu a good wash.
They crouched down and began to check on the situation of the group. Village Chief Ma and the village party secretary were extremely nervous. They couldn't let anyone die, otherwise Mushroom Village would become a model village and be criticized by the commune.
Not long ago, they arrested the old bachelor and Widow Zhang, and now Wang Gou Dan has come out. Are they trying to kill us all?
Just as the group was about to speak, the village doctor stood up and asked Sister-in-law Ma to help Erniu's mother to lie down in the room. He then handed Erniu, who was wiping Erniu's face, a packet of Chinese medicine. "Boil three bowls down to one bowl. One dose of medicine can be decocted twice a day, morning and evening. Come to my place tomorrow to get the medicine for your mother."
The village doctor and the village chief helped Wang Gou Dan up and sat him on a stool, then applied medicine and bandaged his wounds. As for Wang's grandmother, the village doctor hesitated to help her; she must have suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, so he dared not just help her up.
Wang Erniu was finally able to move thanks to the hot water. He plopped down on the ground and burst into tears, which made the people present feel a little sad. It was still because of poverty.
After learning about the situation, the village official left angrily. He needed to go to the village committee to call and report on his work, as well as how to resolve the issue of the old woman from the Wang family lying on the ground. They couldn't just leave her lying on the ground forever.
Seeing that the situation was almost resolved, Sister-in-law Ma hurried home. Her children were still hungry, so getting back to cook rice and meat was the most important thing. Oh, and she also needed to make dumplings today. What time was it? That troublemaker Wang Gou Dan, why is he so annoying?
