Chapter 42
Jian Li scolded Wang Shuai, but Wang Shuai's eyes rolled around and it seemed as if she didn't listen.
Jian Li slapped him on the back of his head: "Silly boy, if you keep doing this, you won't be able to stay in the village in a few years!"
They are not fools. Now the little black eggs are just playing around, and they can see that they have spent 10 or 20 yuan. That is because the children do not know enough about money. But the children will grow up eventually, and the county town is not far away. It is unknown how much Wang Shuai has taken in the meantime, and it is possible that he will be exposed at any time.
Jian Li threatened and warned him, "No one will want to play with you then. Even if you sell things, everyone will assume that you make more money. You will be a rat crossing the street, everyone will shout and beat you, and everyone who sees you will say you are black-hearted."
Wang Shuai shuddered, he was half believing and half doubting: "Is it true?"
He originally thought that his actions were foolproof and no one would know about it, just like Jian Li. If it weren't for today's accident, his sister would never have known how much kickbacks he had taken.
Jian Li slapped him on the back of the head again: "Are you the smartest person in the world?"
Wang Shuai: "I can't say that I can win the whole world, but I can still fight for the whole village, right?"
Seeing his shameless look, Jian Li immediately experienced how her mother always felt when she said she wanted to beat her up.
Wang Shuai is in a state that he deserves a beating.
However, Jian Li was a kind person. Before she went back to complain, she told Wang Shuai why she wanted to punish him.
"A man without integrity cannot stand. If your reputation is damaged, you will not be successful in anything you do in the future. The reason why adults ask you not to lie is that although lying can bring short-term benefits, it is not cost-effective in the long run."
They are all from the countryside. Although Jian Li does not live in the countryside, she has heard her mother talk about it many times.
The countryside is a society based on personal connections.
This matter of General Wang was a big deal, but it was also a small matter, but Jian Li remembered it deeply for the rest of her life.
In his previous life, Marshal Wang had been a frequent visitor to the police station since he was in the eighth grade of junior high school. Rumors were as sharp as knives, and people in the village pointed fingers at him, as if everyone was a prophet.
"I already knew this guy was not a good person."
"He has been cunning and lazy since he was young. You can tell his character by the age of three."
"It's also the fault of the adults for not teaching well."
Everyone found clues from small things to prove that Wang Shuai had never been a worry-free person since he was a child.
The reason my uncle Wang Yuedong's hair turned grey was probably because of this. The strange looks and comments from the villagers made him feel ashamed for many years.
Thinking of her uncle's subsequent depression, Jian Li became even more determined.
Complain as soon as you enter the door.
So on the third day of the New Year, Shuai Wang’s wails echoed throughout the entire village.
Jian Li watched Wang Yuedong swinging the broom vigorously while Wang Shuai was being beaten to tears.
Zhao Chunlan cried out in pain: "What a sin! Beating a child on New Year's Day!"
Sun Cuifang and Wang Mengmei both went to protect him, but Wang Yuedong, who was furious, refused to listen.
Sun Cuifang watched Wang Shuai being beaten for a whole round while wiping away her tears and quarreling with her husband.
Jian Li stood in front of Wang Shuai with her arms folded: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Tears were still streaming down Wang Shuai's face, and he didn't even want to talk to Jian Li.
Jian Li didn't care. It didn't matter whether she knew it was wrong or not. As long as she knew that the broom was hard, that was enough.
Wang Shuai was crying and groaning in Sun Cuifang's arms, while Zhao Chunlan was waving her walking stick to hit Wang Yuedong.
Jian Feng saw that the situation was not good and quickly pulled Wang Yuedong out.
Wang Mengmei coaxed her mother and her brother's wife, and she felt ashamed.
How could such a devil be born?
Zhao Chunlan covered her chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She glared at Wang Mengmei and accused her, "Come on, why don't you take care of your little Li? It's happened so many times over the years. Whenever she comes back, the handsome guy gets beaten up. If this happens again, don't bring her back!"
Before Wang Mengmei could say anything, Sun Cuifang silently pushed away the hand that Wang Mengmei handed to her.
Obviously, he was not happy with what Jian Li did.
Wang Mengmei had nothing to say and angrily went to find Broomstick to beat Jian Li.
Jian Li knew this would happen, and as soon as Wang Shuai was beaten, she dragged Wang Yunyun out.
The two little girls were wandering outside, and Jian Li spoke to Wang Yunyun in more detail, telling her everything that Wang Shuai had done.
Wang Yunyun never expected that Wang Shuai actually embezzled money from it!
"You deserve to be beaten!"
Wang Yunyun's face turned red and she expressed her deep support for Jian Li's approach.
Jian Li sat on a big rock by the road, swinging her legs: "I can't do anything. Look at Wang Shuai. Even if it weren't for that man, he wouldn't be able to control him."
This guy is too cunning. He says one thing and does another.
Sometimes Jian Li could really understand her uncle. When facing someone like Wang Shuai, she had no choice but to beat him.
Wang Yunyun also sat next to Jian Li: "Yes."
Wang Yunyun sometimes felt that her family's problems were an unsolvable problem. Wang Shuai deserved to be beaten, but her father sometimes beat him too hard, and her mother was too protective.
Wang Yunyun: "Sometimes I want to persuade them, but beating them like this won't have the effect of punishment, and it won't protect them either. I really don't know what's the point of always starting off strong but ending weakly like this."
Sometimes Wang Yunyun even felt that Wang Shuai was also distressed, being torn between two completely different educational methods.
Jian Li joked, "Actually, do you know how to solve this kind of situation in your family? It would be best if there is someone who can hit the mark every time."
The best candidate for this role is actually Zhao Chunlan.
She could also tell Wang Yuedong not to be too harsh, and from the perspective of an elder, she could tell Sun Cuifang not to be too protective.
Unfortunately, Zhao Chunlan is even more protective than Sun Cuifang.
Jian Li complained in her heart that with such a living environment, it was not surprising at all that Wang Shuai would become like he was in his previous life.
After Jian Li finished speaking, she pulled Wang Yunyun to the canteen, without noticing the thoughtful look in Wang Yunyun's eyes.
…
Originally, Jian Li and her family planned to stay for a few more days. Jian Feng could go home on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and Wang Mengmei would stay with her daughter until the eighth day. However, because of a beating from Wang Shuai, Wang Mengmei was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
On the fourth day of the New Year, the family of three went straight back home.
Wang Mengmei grabbed Jian Li's ears and scolded her, pulling Jian Li's ears until they turned red.
"Come on, why are you complaining? You asked your uncle to beat your brother up in the middle of the year!"
Jian Li retorted: "Just tell me whether he should be beaten or not?"
Wang Mengmei: …
If Wang Shuai was her child, he would have deserved a beating.
Just like Jian Li took Qian Ping to the market without a word last time, she thought the child had good intentions, but good intentions can also lead to bad things, and Wang Shuai was breaking the law knowingly. How could he not know how much money his sister wanted him to give to others? Jian Li said he had embezzled half of it.
As an adult, if you cannot immediately correct your child's behavior at this time, what kind of parent are you?
But Wang Shuai is not her own child, and Wang Mengmei can't say that she is just an aunt and there is no need to offend her brother's wife.
"... Stop talking nonsense to me!"
Jian Li pouted. Adults are always like this. When they encounter something they can't explain, they will talk about other things.
Wang Mengmei's momentum was weakened by the lady's words, and in the end she just let the matter go.
When the family of three left, Wang Shuai had already dragged his limping leg to go from house to house to repay the money.
Thanks to his good bookkeeping habits, every entry is recorded clearly.
What Jian Li found most amusing was that Wang Shuai was already well versed in the workings of officialdom.
This guy made two sets of accounts, one true and one false!
Seeing Wang Shuai taking out the real account book from a secret place, Jian Li almost died of laughter.
She touched the head of Wang Shuai, who was full of resentment, and said, "I won't cheat you. You will know the benefits of this beating in the future. Study hard, and I will come back during the summer vacation."
Thinking about what Wang Shuai liked most, Jian Li took out ten yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into his pocket: "Are you not angry now?"
Wang Shuai, who was crying yesterday and thinking that he would never be friends with Jian Li again, now remembered Jian Li's kindness and asked Jian Li why she didn't stay a few more days while sniffing.
"I'm not mad at you, please stay a few more days."
Jian Li smiled and said, "How can we still live here? My aunt and uncle quarreled until midnight yesterday."
"Take care of yourself. I'll come back and help you make money."
When Jian Li's family got on the bus to work, Wang Shuai started crying.
Sun Cuifang felt embarrassed for crying, how could she not know that Wang Mengmei left in such a hurry because of her shame.
But doesn't she feel sorry for her son?
It is true that Sun Cuifang was protective of her shortcomings, but she felt guilty when she thought about it carefully.
Wang Mengmei was really doing this for the good of her family. If they weren't particularly close, would she have bothered to file a complaint?
She patted her son and said, "Don't cry, your sister will be here during the summer vacation."
Marshal Wang wiped away his tears and put the ten yuan given by Jian Li into his pocket. He suffered heavy losses today and spent half of his own piggy bank in one breath, which made him feel heartbroken.
Some families treated the money as free money and were very happy, and even let their children play with it. Some families thought that Wang Shuai was not a good kid and did not let their children stay with him.
But the little black eggs all reacted in unison.
Wang Shuai is a good man.
The money given during the summer vacation was already enough, and now they give so much more.
The little kid didn't know much, he just knew that General Wang was the best and stuck to him.
After returning home, Wang Shuai finally started to think. He considered everything carefully. Although he still didn't fully understand what his sister said, Wang Shuai now knew that he couldn't make money from his partners.
If you are not careful, you will be beaten.
Starting from the fourth day of the New Year, more families visited relatives. With the New Year's money given to the children and the money just given by Wang Shuai, the children started shopping.
Wang Shuai thought about it and decided that he had to make up for his losses.
I decided not to rest at home and took the black eggs to the city to buy goods.
During the Chinese New Year, I went to the surrounding villages to sell goods and bought some expensive new goods.
Wang Shuai had a strange and beautiful thought, but he also overlooked one point.
The Chinese New Year is also a high incidence period for children being lost.
Everywhere there are relatives visiting, and strangers are the ones coming and going in the village. In the past, if a stranger entered the village, everyone would pay more attention, but now, every village is a family that visits once a year, and it is easy for human traffickers to mix in.
There were five or six little black eggs that Wang Shuai took away, and the whole village was going crazy.
So when Wang Shuai came back from the county, he was faced with a crying mother, a sullen father, and a rejoicing grandmother.
Wang Yuedong's face was as dark as a pot sticker. It was obvious that it was Wang Shuai who started it again.
He is really helpless.
General Wang seemed to have two brains. He would listen to what he wanted to listen to, but he would never obediently follow what he didn't want to listen to.
This kind of thing of taking other people's children out to have fun has happened three times in the past few years.
The first time was when he took people to the river, asking them to go swimming. The river was several meters deep, and Wang Yuedong's legs became weak when he knew the children were all fine.
The second time was when he took the children to watch an opera about seven or eight miles away. It was so far, but the boy didn’t even tell his family and just took a group of kids there for fun.
The third time is now, on Chinese New Year, exactly six were lost.
The villagers wondered if a ghost had entered the village, otherwise why would they have caught six of them? A ghost can hold six babies.
“…Kneel down!”
Wang Yuedong was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He wanted to ask God why he sent General Wang to torture him.
He is barely forty years old, but he already feels like he is being driven to death by his disappointing son!
Wang Yuedong looked everywhere for a suitable weapon, ready to give Wang Shuai a good beating.
While I was looking for it, I suddenly heard a childish shout.
"You know you're wrong!"
Looking back, he saw his gentle daughter holding a feather whisk in her hand, beating and scolding General Wang who was kneeling on the ground.
Wang Yuedong: …
