"Chila"
The cloth ripped with a tearing sound, and the belt was snapped. Brother Niu closed his eyes in despair, too ashamed to face anyone.
"Hang him up!" Uncle Niu said in a deep voice.
Tie Dan's mother wanted to plead for her son several times, but she didn't have the courage. Her heart ached when her son was beaten, and she felt ashamed when her son was disgraced. She couldn't do anything, and her heart ached more than if it were being stabbed by a dull knife.
If she had known things would turn out this way, she definitely wouldn't have given her eldest son so much pocket money. She wouldn't have given him a single penny. If she had no money, her eldest son would have stayed home and worked quietly instead of bothering that slutty widow, Wang Guilan. But the hardest thing to buy in this world is a pill for regret.
Niu Erge pulled down Niu Dage's pants, leaving him only in his shorts. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Niu Dabo.
"Those who can't understand human language, strip them all naked!" Uncle Niu shouted sternly.
Without further hesitation, Brother Niu Er pulled again, and he was immediately naked. Brother Niu Dage was filled with shame, anger, and fear, and he fainted from exhaustion.
Tang Yuanyuan quickly turned around and spat several times. She really didn't expect the customs here to be so barbaric, that they could even carry out vigilante justice. Yet the villagers were very calm, and no one felt anything was wrong. For a moment, Tang Yuanyuan thought she had traveled through time!
"Isn't this going too far? What if the police come?" Tang Yuanyuan was worried that things would escalate.
“The police won’t come. Uncle has already spoken with the village chief, so no one will bother us unless we don’t want to live in the village anymore. That’s the rule in our village,” Ya Dan explained.
Although she also disapproved of the ignorant and backward customs, she couldn't change anything by herself and could only adapt. Perhaps in a few years, things would become more civilized.
Tang Yuanyuan sighed. She really hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. She asked worriedly, "Won't someone die?"
"No, even the village chief can't cover it up if someone dies. Uncle knows what he's doing," Ya Dan said confidently.
Tang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there was still a bottom line.
Brother Niu Er tore a rope and hung the unconscious Brother Niu from a large tree in front of Wang Guilan's house. His lower body was indeed completely naked. Most of the onlookers were married women, who weren't ashamed at all, pointing and gossiping, even offering their comments. Brother Niu slowly woke up in the tree, but seeing the chill below, he looked down and fainted again.
“This is a misfortune for our family. Today, I’m cleaning house in front of the whole village. I won’t show mercy to Niu Tiefu, even if he’s wrong. But we can’t let outsiders take what’s ours. Wang Guilan, will you return the money or not?”
Uncle Niu looked at Wang Guilan coldly. He didn't say much, but it sent chills down Wang Guilan's spine.
“When did I take money from your Niu family? Do you have any evidence? Judges need evidence to sentence people. You’re just making baseless accusations that I took money from your family, trying to embezzle a widow’s retirement money. How can you be so shameless?” Wang Guilan made a last-ditch effort.
If it were just a few thousand yuan, she wouldn't mind, but it's tens of thousands of yuan! How could she bear to part with that?
Uncle Niu sneered, "The Niu family never steals other people's things. The evidence is on the tree. Tie Fu, tell me, how much money did you give Wang Guilan? Tell me and I'll let you down!"
Brother Niu was overjoyed and let out a series of cries, but the wind blew his cries away and Uncle Niu couldn't hear him. So he told Brother Niu Er to put the person down first, and if the answer wasn't satisfactory, he could hoist him back up.
“Uncle, I have an account book... at home... it contains all the accounts I keep.”
Wang Guilan's heart sank suddenly. This bastard actually kept a record of it?
Brother Niu Er carried Brother Niu home, and soon returned with a small notebook in his hand, filled with Brother Niu's romantic escapades. What a fine habit!
