Chapter 41 Something Happened
Seeing that they could not get any advantage from the mill, those who had taken advantage of the mill loudly cursed the grinders:
"Why does the Wang family always occupy the mill? My family is waiting for the mill to save our lives!"
"You think others are blind. Why are you grinding beans to save lives? You used it all day yesterday, and you can't let others use it today!"
The old man who was speaking was extremely angry. He had come to the stone mill to watch over it these past two days when he had nothing to do. It was such a good thing for the young scholar to make tofu, but these few troublemakers were just looking for trouble!
The morals of the village were corrupted by them, and they even gathered some people to confiscate beans and cause trouble, so that he couldn't buy tofu every day!
"Get out, all of you! I'll fight anyone who dares to take advantage of me!"
The old man shouted angrily.
The troublemakers didn't expect the old man to rush out, and they also cursed back: "What's it to you? We paid for this mill, so we can use it!"
"Are you using a mill? You're just looking for trouble! I'm here today and none of you can use any of these things!"
Old man Niu pointed at them and cursed.
Hei San was also angry. He originally wanted to take advantage of the grinding to disgust the Wang family and gain some benefits at the same time, but they actually found a group of people to take turns grinding beans, which made him wait for a whole day. He thought of not leaving today, but who knew they would not stop!
His grandmother was going too far, refusing to accept his beans and not allowing him to grind them. Now, this old man who couldn't even walk steadily was giving orders.
Hei San was so angry that his head was swelling. He rushed over and pushed Old Man Niu to the ground.
Old Man Niu already had weak legs and feet, and under the force of gravity he fell onto a nearby rock, hitting his head. The onlookers were so frightened that they quickly went to call the Niu family.
Old Man Niu's son Niu Dazhuang rushed over and saw that his father was bleeding. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and held Heisan down and beat him up.
Heisan only dares to scare Meng at home. As he drinks every day, his physique is definitely not as good as Niu Dazhuang who works regularly.
He was beaten to the point of being nearly dead. When Meng, Hei San's wife, saw the blood on the ground, she was so frightened that she trembled. It took her a long time to react and she shouted, "He's been beaten to death! He's been beaten to death!"
The villagers were in a panic. The family who had joined them in occupying the millstone had already slipped away in the chaos, and now only three people from the Hei family were left.
Hei Dou looked coldly at Hei San, who was beaten to death, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Meng, who happened to be looking for her son's help, saw this and was shocked, as if she had seen something horrible. She pointed at her son and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Old Lady Niu was supported by several of her daughters-in-law and came over. Seeing the fainted Old Man Niu, she cried out:
"Damn the Hei family! My old man was just strolling around the village, and you guys harmed him like this. Pay with your lives! I want you to pay with your lives!"
Niu Dazhuang also said with red eyes: "Everyone in the village saw it. It was Hei San who hit my father first. Our Niu family and your Hei family will never let this matter go!"
Hei Lao Da and Hei Lao Er were working in the fields when they were called over for no apparent reason.
Before the black boss could speak, his daughter-in-law came running over and shouted:
"Hey, Niu family, you have to make it clear what you said. Hei San has separated from our Hei family. Now that he has injured someone, we will not recognize him!"
Hei Lao Er's wife also chimed in: "That's right, Auntie Niu, you have to identify the person who harmed you. We are an honest family, but we would never do such a murder!"
The two wives of the Hei family hated Hei Lao San to death. It would be great if they could get him to leave the village completely this time, so that they wouldn't have to worry about being implicated by him every day. If not for themselves, then for their sons!
Niu Dazhuang's wife is not a vegetarian either:
"I don't care whether you split up or not. You're all surnamed Hei, so go and discuss it behind closed doors. We won't be done until this matter is settled. Don't even think about having an easy time!"
Niu Erzhuang, Niu Sanzhuang, and Niu Sizhuang also came running over, wiping their sweat. "Brother, what happened to our father? We just heard that he was dying when we returned to the village."
Niu Wuzhuang and Niu Liuzhuang also came running over crying.
When the villagers saw this situation, they knew that the Hei family would not get any advantage.
The Niu family is famous in the village for having many sons, otherwise where would the old man Niu get the confidence from?
People in the village generally don't dare to mess with his family, but the Hei family is really good and they can kick the tough guy right away.
When Aunt Niu saw all six sons had arrived, she supported her second son and cried loudly, "Son, why did you go to sell tofu today? Your father was beaten half to death by the Hei family and he still hasn't woken up. There's blood all over the floor. I'm afraid your father is..."
Niu Erzhuang was one of the people who ordered tofu yesterday. He received the tofu yesterday afternoon and called a few of his younger brothers to help sell it.
They went to the nearest Dashi Village early in the morning. The tofu sold very well and was sold out at the hour of Mao. They were so happy that just as they arrived at the village entrance, they heard a villager say that his father was dying. The three of them were so anxious that they forgot everything and ran over quickly.
Niu Erzhuang said angrily: "The Hei family? Who beat him?"
"Who else could it be! It's that damned Hei San!"
The Hei family members looked at the row of sons standing in front of the Niu family and swallowed their saliva quietly.
Niu Erzhuang calmly asked Hei Lao Da: "What are you going to do?"
Hei Lao Da didn't dare to confront him, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Er Zhuang, you know that Hei San and I are separated. If he causes a death, we will have to find him. Besides, Hei San has been beaten half to death by Brother Da Zhuang. This..."
"Hei San's last name is Hei after all, why don't we go and invite Hei Daddy over?"
The two wives of the Hei family looked gloomy and kicked the ground in anger.
If his father-in-law came, he would definitely not be able to bear to see Hei San being beaten to death, and would have to pay him money.
The two sisters-in-law exchanged glances and the second daughter-in-law said:
"Hey, Brother Niu, why are you looking for my father-in-law? He's old, what if he gets scared and gets hurt? Hei San is just fainted now, pour water on him to wake him up and ask him what to do. If he cheats, don't we still have his son and daughter? There's an old saying that goes, a son pays for his father's debts!"
The wife of the gang boss also said: "Yes, we are all honest people. Hei San and we have separated. The government has documents, so it is not easy to force it!"
The wives of the Niu family were so angry when they saw the two black-hearted wives of the Hei family.
Niu Er's wife pointed and cursed, "You black-hearted bastards, push those two kids out! Are you planning a drama in the end? We Niu family beat Hei San to death and bullied Hei San's orphan and widow. You're taking all the good reputation, and my father-in-law who got beaten up is the one who gets taken advantage of!"
Niu San's wife also cursed: "That's right, if you are not surnamed Hei, your family is full of bad water. You have a scoundrel like Hei San who is causing trouble in the village. Your Hei family is wicked. A wicked person gave birth to a wicked son. From now on, we must stay away from wicked families. Who knows if the son or daughter they raise will be a wicked thing!"
The Hei family was furious. This Hei Lao San was the bad rat in the family and had implicated his son and daughter. In the future, if he wanted to marry someone who was immoral, how could he marry into a good family?
Hei Er's wife was furious and shrieked, "Just let the Niu family talk. Why are you bringing up the child? Besides, we are Hei San and Hei San. It's been so long since the incident, and why haven't we seen Hei San's wife and his son?"
