Chapter 127 Wang Shuo brutally beats up Liu Huo and divides the pork
Wang Yuqing suddenly stepped forward, forcibly pulled Zhang Tao away, and then pushed her to the ground.
Zhang Tao cried out in pain.
Wang Yuqing turned to look at Wang Shuo: "Comrade Wang Shuo, go ahead and hit him. He almost killed you. This kind of person won't behave unless you beat him. Besides, this kind of scum deserves to be beaten. He's like a hooligan. Every time he sees Sister Tang talking nonsense, he stares at her with lecherous eyes. If Sister Tang ignores him, he says that Sister Tang is a widow and there's always trouble around her!"
"Sister Tang is completely innocent, how can you say such things about her?"
The people around were furious after hearing this. Tang Wan was a martyr's family member. She came to her husband's family without getting a marriage certificate and vowed to serve her parents-in-law. Although some people would gossip, most people admired her!
These words further enraged Wang Shuo, who beat Liu Huo even harder than before, until Liu began to cry and beg for mercy: "Stop hitting me! You'll die if you keep hitting me! I was wrong! I won't do it again..."
Zhang Tao, who was standing nearby, wanted to rush forward to stop him, but Wang Yuqing deliberately grabbed her arm: "Auntie, don't go. You'll get beaten up too. I'm doing this for your own good. Your old bones can't withstand a punch from Comrade Wang Shuo. What if you start blaming him before he even touches you?"
Zhang Tao, her thoughts exposed, turned around and glared at Wang Yuqing: "Let go of me!"
Wang Yuqing refused to let go, and only when Wang Shuo had beaten her enough did she suddenly release her grip. Zhang Tao fell onto Liu Huo, who howled in pain, "What are you doing? Get away from me!"
This made everyone laugh. Lei Yongxia said, "Zhang Tao, look at the precious son you're protecting, he's telling you to get lost."
Zhang Tao quickly got up, her face full of heartache: "Oh, my child, does it hurt?"
Wang Shuo pointed at Liu Huo on the ground and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you better take a detour when you see Comrade Tang Wan in the future! And take a detour when you see me too!"
No one sympathized with poor Liu; everyone condemned him, saying he deserved it.
Zhang Tao cried as she tried to help Liu Huo up, but she couldn't lift him at all. She yelled at Liu Li in the crowd, "What are you still hiding there for? Aren't you his sister? Come out and help him!"
Liu Li walked out awkwardly, and the two women carried her back.
The old Party Secretary had just gone to the side to smoke when he saw Liu Huo leave. He came back and said, "So, the small wild boar is Wang Shuo's doing, and the big wild boar is Xiao Ji's doing. You two are both great heroes. How to divide the wild boar is up to you two."
He added, "After the distribution is complete, Xiao Ji, come with me to the office to fill out a file. From now on, you'll be the militia company commander..."
Unlike Liu Huo, Ji Xuening and Wang Shuo were not selfish. After discussing it, they decided that each family present would receive two jin of wild boar meat, and they would also send two jin of meat to Li Laodie, an elderly man living alone. The remaining ten or so jin would be used by the militia company and the brigade headquarters cadres for an extra meal.
Those who couldn't attend will get priority for the meat next time they hunt a wild boar.
That was quite fair, and everyone present was very happy about it, each of them happily carrying two pounds of meat home.
The meat from the two wild boars was divided roughly. The smaller wild boar's leg was kept for an extra meal, while the larger wild boar's leg had more meat. Originally, all four legs belonged to Ji Xuening.
Wang Shuo leaned over and said a few nice words, and Ji Xuening agreed. Wang Shuo happily handed the two legs to Tang Wan: "Sister-in-law Tang, these are for you separately."
Tang Wan didn't take the two wild boar legs. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Shuo chuckled and said, "You're welcome. It's just two legs, no big deal."
Tang Wan looked at Ji Xuening: "Ji Xuening hunted this wild boar, how can you give me the leg?"
She handed them to Wang Yuqing, who was standing next to her, saying, "Yuqing, take them all back."
Wang Shuo felt awkward standing to the side. He looked at Ji Xuening, who promptly spoke up: "Sister-in-law Tang, Wang Shuo also contributed to the fight against this wild boar. It wasn't just me who killed it. The remaining four legs should rightfully be divided: two for him and two for me. Since it's temporarily staying at your house and can't start a fire, it's only right that we give them to you."
Wang Yuqing also said, "Yes, Sister Tang, please accept it."
Tang Wan hesitated for a few seconds, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you both." After saying that, she turned her gaze lightly to Wang Shuo and nodded very gently: "Thank you too, Comrade Wang Shuo."
Seeing that Ji Xuening and Wang Yuqing were both very calm, Wang Shuo also appeared very bold. However, his calmness seemed very smug, and his voice was loud: "No need to thank me."
Tang Wan and Wang Yuqing each carried the meat and the wild boar leg and turned to go home.
Tang Wan frowned slightly and asked, "Comrade Wang Shuo, were you angry just now?"
Wang Yuqing shook her head: "Probably not, he'd be too happy to wait."
Tang Wan recalled Wang Shuo's expression and voice just now: "I think he was angry. I rejected him earlier... which was quite disrespectful to him."
Wang Shuo put one foot on a stool, one hand on his hip, and looked up to see the two walking away. Suddenly, he excitedly started punching the ground. Feeling that it wasn't enough to vent his excitement, he turned around and hugged Ji Xuening tightly, patting him hard on the back with one hand. In his hoarse voice, he said, "Old Ji, thank you so much! I've decided to be your brother. You're a true friend!"
After saying that, she hugged Ji Xuening tightly and held him down: "Did you hear that? She thanked me. She actually thanked me. She must be thinking, 'I'm so brave and fierce!'"
Ji Xuening's face darkened. He tried to push Wang Shuo away several times, but couldn't. Finally, he pushed him away with all his might, quickly took a few steps back to maintain distance, and said with disgust, "Comrade Wang Shuo, I don't like being touched by others!"
After saying that, she added hesitantly, "Especially a man!"
Then he turned and walked toward the old secretary's office.
Wang Shuo called out from behind, "Old Ji... hey hey..."
He touched his nose: "What's wrong with me... I'm just too excited, too thrilled. I don't like men touching me either..."
The brigade headquarters has a kitchen. In the past, the brigade ate from a communal pot. This time, Ji Xuening and Wang Shuo were cooking, while Zhou Shan and Niu Er were helping out.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
The old Party Secretary even brought his radio, smoking and drinking a little wine.
Wang Yuqing and Tang Wan went home separately. Wang Yuqing marinated the two wild boar legs and saved the meat to cook with Ji Xuening when he was home the next day.
As soon as Tang Wan got home, Zhang Cuihua was already waiting in the yard. When she saw her return, she quickly went to greet her and took away the two jin of meat and two wild boar legs from her hands. However, she still complained, "Why is there so little meat? Isn't there a two-hundred-jin wild boar meat in the back? We have a good relationship with Comrade Wang Shuo, and he is staying at our house. He should at least get five or six jin, right?"
Tang Wan said in a cold voice, "There isn't enough meat to go around. More than a dozen families who didn't go to the brigade didn't get any. These two wild boar legs were extra given to us by Comrade Wang Shuo."
Zhang Cuihua muttered to herself, "To put it bluntly, that Comrade Wang Shuo has no gratitude whatsoever. If he just said the word, we would have given him not just five jin, but ten jin."
After saying that, she carried the meat to the kitchen and instructed, "Keep these two wild boar legs for the New Year. Stir-fry some of this meat for the two of us old folks tonight. Don't even think about it!"
