"Mother... what's wrong with Mother!" Jiang Yaojie's anxious voice came from outside the door.
The newcomer was startled, but when he saw that it was Jiang Yaojie, he frowned and shouted, "Get out of my way! You little bastard, if you dare to mess with me today, I'll castrate you, you believe me!"
The shout startled Jiang Ling's two daughters awake. Seeing the menacing-looking man in the moonlight, the two little girls burst into tears.
"Shut up! If you cry again, I'll kill you both!" the menacing-looking man roared.
"Wang Laizi! You! You! What do you want to do?" Jiang Ling asked, protectively shielding the two children behind her.
"Hehehe, Jiang, what do you think I want to do?" Wang Laizi revealed a lewd expression while licking his lips.
"The children are innocent, let them go out first!" Jiang Ling said, looking at her two daughters who were already crying their eyes out.
"Tsk, fine! Kids are just getting in the way! You two get out of here!" Wang Laizi glared fiercely at Jiang Suihe and Jiang Wenxi and scolded them.
"Suihe, Wenxi, you two go out quickly!" Jiang Ling said, pushing her two daughters.
"Waaah...no...no! Mother, we won't leave!" Jiang Suihe hugged Jiang Wenxi and continued to cry bitterly.
"Yaojie! Take your two younger sisters away quickly!" Jiang Ling frowned and hurriedly called out towards the door.
Although Jiang Yaojie was obedient, he still looked at Jiang Ling with a worried expression. Jiang Ling shook her head at Jiang Yaojie, indicating that he should not worry. In the end, Jiang Yaojie bit his lip hard and dragged his two younger sisters out of the house.
At this moment, only Wang Laizi and Jiang Ling remained in the cramped space. Wang Laizi's lewd gaze roamed over Jiang Ling's body. He felt as if a fire was burning two inches below his navel. At this moment, he wanted to immediately pounce on the bed and have a good time with the woman in front of him.
"Wang Laizi, do you know that trespassing is illegal?" Jiang Ling said to Wang Laizi, her hand secretly reaching towards his neck.
"Pah! What the hell is illegal? I just want to vent my anger right now!" Wang Laizi spat fiercely and pounced on Jiang Ling without thinking.
A scream pierced the night sky, and Jiang Yaojie panicked completely. He kicked open the bedroom door and ran inside, but the scene before him still made him freeze in place, slightly surprised.
At this moment, Wang Laizi was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back and foam at the mouth, while Jiang Ling was sitting on the bed unharmed.
"Yaojie! Go find your village chief! Suihe, Wenxi, and I will tie this shameless bastard up!" Jiang Ling ordered coldly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaojie immediately turned and ran towards the village chief's house, while Jiang Ling and her two daughters used ropes to tie up Wang Laizi, who was lying on the ground, tightly.
Looking at Wang Laizi in front of her, Jiang Ling was burning with anger. She kicked Wang Laizi several times as if to vent her frustration, and then slapped him several times in the face as if to vent her anger.
Soon, Jiang Yaojie brought the sleepy village chief back to his home. Just as the village chief was about to speak, he saw Wang Laizi lying in the yard, tightly bound.
"Jiang... Jiang family, what... what's going on?" The village chief knew the answer, but he still asked Jiang Ling.
"What's going on? This guy broke into my house in the middle of the night and tried to do something to me!" Jiang Ling said angrily.
"The village chief knows what kind of person Wang Laizi is and has long wanted to drive him out of Lujia Village, but he has never been able to find a suitable reason. This incident is a good opportunity to drive this scourge out of Lujia Village!"
The village chief looked at the unconscious Wang Laizi without asking any questions. He just spat at Wang Laizi and said to Jiang Ling, "Don't worry, Jiang Shi, I will definitely get justice for you. Yaojie, go and call your Uncle Chengcai and Uncle Chengqian over. Have them carry this guy to the Lu family ancestral hall!" The village chief instructed Jiang Yaojie.
The village chief soon rang the bell at the village entrance. It was midnight, and everyone woke up groggily after hearing the bell. Feeling a bit tired, they went to the Lu family ancestral hall. However, when they saw Wang Laizi tied up, all their sleepiness vanished.
"Everyone, I know it's inappropriate to gather you all here so late at night, but! Our Lu family has produced a scoundrel!" The village chief glared angrily at the unconscious Wang Laizi and cursed.
Seeing the village chief glaring at them, everyone knew this was no small matter. In the eyes of the villagers of Lujia Village, the village chief was known for his good temper, and they hadn't seen him so angry in many years. Seeing this, everyone tacitly shut their mouths, and no one dared to say anything more.
The village chief glanced at the crowd, then looked at the unconscious Wang Laizi and said, "Wang Laizi is a disgrace to our Lu Family Village! Tonight, he actually harbored evil intentions towards Jiang Shi and broke into her residence with the intention of committing wicked deeds..."
The crowd erupted in uproar, and everyone began to discuss Wang Laizi. Even the village chief, who was trying to maintain order, continued to talk about him.
The village chief glanced at Jiang Ling, who was burning with rage. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was watching, Jiang Ling would definitely have made Wang Laizi a eunuch!
"Could...could there be a mistake? After all, Jiang is alone, who knows..."
Discordant voices gradually began to spread from the crowd. A small number of villagers in Lujia Village began to envy Jiang Ling because of her small business and the fact that she was commended by Magistrate Duan. The Wang Laizi incident just happened to become the outlet for those petty people to vent their anger.
Listening to those discordant voices, Jiang Ling finally understood a saying: "In the heavy rain, a hundred ghosts roam at night, and some people are mingling among them, yet they are happier than the ghosts!"
She raised an eyebrow, pointed at the loudest peasant woman, and scolded, "What? Is Wang Laizi your lover? Why are you speaking up for him now?"
"You're talking nonsense!" The peasant woman didn't expect Jiang Ling to suddenly target her, so she immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at her as she replied.
