"Ameng, everything is fine now. Your mother took my medicine and will be well soon."
Chen Ruxue looked at the worried little girl and comforted her.
“Thank you, sister!”
"Thank you, damn it! Where did you come from? How dare you interfere in my family affairs? Get out of my house right now, or I'll be rude to you."
"Dad, they saved Mom. They were brought here by the village chief. They are good people."
"Pa", a crisp slap sounded, "You little bastard, you dare to talk back to me, I'll beat you to death."
When the man was about to slap him a second time, he was stopped by a big hand that stretched out from the side.
Ye Haonan has long disliked men. In his opinion, men who beat women and children are cowards, wimps, and deserve a beating!
So, before the man could react, Ye Haonan punched him.
The man who was being beaten screamed and begged for mercy.
"What kind of man are you if you hit a woman or a child!!!"
Having lived for more than twenty years, few people except his enemies could touch Ye Haonan's heartstrings. He didn't expect that he would be forced to swear by this man today!
Ye Haonan didn't stop at punching the man, he also broke both of his arms, which made him feel vented.
Ye Haonan had just dodged when Chen Ruxue took over, picked up a rough rattan stick beside him, and hit the man straight at her. "I told you not to hit your wife and children, you're a piece of shit, I told you not to curse people, and you're still playing with the rattan stick. Do you understand what I'm doing? Today I'm going to teach you the correct way to use the rattan stick."
After the beating, the man rolled on the ground, crying for his parents, looking as miserable as he could be.
"stop."
As soon as Village Chief Abu arrived, he saw this scene and quickly stopped it.
"You two, what you did today shows that you don't take me, the village chief, seriously!
After all, Mu Lei is a member of our village. Even if he made a mistake, I, the village chief, should take care of him!"
Despite being interrupted, Chen Ruxue remained calm. She threw the cane directly to the ground and wiped her hands.
Ye Haonan reacted quickly and tried to smooth things over, "Village Chief Abu, I'm really sorry, my wife had no choice but to hit the man.
Just now, this man seemed to be crazy, beating people crazily. We thought that after all, A Meng had to take us into the mountains tomorrow, and we couldn't just watch her get hurt, so we took action in desperation.
We will pay attention next time!"
Seeing the village chief coming, Mu Lei seemed to have found a backer and complained angrily, "Uncle Bu, quickly kick them both out of the village. They are definitely not good people."
"Shut up! Mu Lei, I've told you a long time ago not to beat your wife and children. It seems like you really ignored my words.
You don't think you want to take my place as village chief because I'm old, do you? "
Village chief Abu was very angry at this moment and wanted to break his nephew's legs.
In the past, he had no control over how Mu Lei disciplined his wife and children, but now he can't do that. He is about to step down, and his son is about to take over as the new village chief of Hulu Village. This is the most critical time, and he can't let this stupid nephew ruin things!
"Mu Lei, I see you haven't been thinking straight lately. I'm punishing you by having you face the wall in the bamboo building for seven days. After seven days, you can come out again."
"Uncle Bu, Village Chief, there's no need to go to the bamboo building. I will definitely change. I absolutely will. Just let me stay home!"
"No, if you don't go, I'll kick you out of the village!"
"I'll go, I'll go right away!" Mu Lei agreed helplessly, and then looked at A Meng angrily, "You little bitch, keep an eye on your mother. If I find her running around again when I come back, I'll beat you to death."
A Meng was frightened by these words and took two steps back.
Chen Ruxue: “…”
Damn, you dare to be so arrogant in front of her? It seems that the beating just now was not enough! I have to find another opportunity to teach him a lesson!
Ye Haonan narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists behind his back, and then released them.
There will be another chance.
Mu Lei dragged his two removed arms away. Village Chief Abu didn't even look at A Meng and her mother, and walked straight out of the house. "It's time for you two to go back. Remember not to run around the village at night."
"Village Chief Abu, you go first. We'll pack up and leave right away." Chen Ruxue said this time with a smile, and she sounded so sincere!
After watching Village Chief Abu leave, Chen Ruxue went into the house to see the woman.
Logically speaking, after taking the medicine so skillfully, it should have worked!
When she entered the room, she saw a face covered in tears.
"You...why are you crying? Are you feeling better?"
The woman didn't answer her, but just asked, "Where are you from? Why do you speak with a Beijing accent?"
"Oh! You can even hear this. Are you from Beijing too?" Chen Ruxue looked at the woman in surprise.
The woman was surprised at first, then smiled miserably. "Yes, I was originally from Jing City, but something happened and I had no choice but to marry that beast Mu Lei. I've been trapped here for eighteen years."
"Can you tell me what the accident was?" To be honest, Chen Ruxue was quite curious.
"My last name is Xia, and I'm from Jing City. Eighteen years ago, something happened at home, and I had to hide in the countryside.
Originally, I was going to the Northeast, but then an accident happened for some reason and I came here.
But I am very glad that I can come here, where I met him - my beloved Cheng Qian. "The woman said, and suddenly smiled, that smile was as warm as a dead tree coming back to life in spring!
But soon, the woman's expression changed again. "Later, Cheng Qian and I fell in love. We decided to live together and become partners. But, the day before we got our marriage certificate, he suddenly disappeared and we haven't heard from him since."
"Didn't you look for him? Did you report it to the police?"
“Of course, I searched for him like crazy, but neither I, the villagers, the educated youth, nor even the public security officers could find him.
At that time, I was devastated and almost committed suicide. Later, I found out that I was pregnant with Cheng Qian's child. I was so happy!
"Then why don't you leave Hulu Village and return to Jing City?"
"Because I can't bear to part with Cheng Qian, I want to find out the truth!"
"The truth? What truth?"
"That's the truth behind his disappearance! I remember that time I attempted suicide but failed, and I also found out I was pregnant.
There was no news from Beijing, so for the sake of my child, I had no choice but to marry Mu Lei. Later, after a narrow escape, I gave birth to a daughter, A Meng.
Later…"
The woman said something, and suddenly her body trembled, "Later, when I was drunk, I found out that Cheng Qian's disappearance was actually planned by someone, and that person was Mu Lei.
You don’t know how much hatred I felt when I heard it, but I couldn’t investigate openly, so I could only look for it slowly in private.
I contacted two male educated youth in the educated youth compound who were friends with Cheng Qian and asked them to help find him.
But, but later they also had an accident, and the villagers said they were eaten by wolves!"
