"If you ask me, I can't let him go. He should report it to the official! This banker girl is really young and doesn't understand how good people can be bullied."
When the villagers saw what Zhuang Keqing had said, they went back to their houses. When they came out, they held a box. When they opened it, they actually found two pieces of money, neatly strung with ropes.
This farmer's family is very busy all year round. Even those with good conditions can only save four or five coins. Who wouldn't want to break off a penny and use it as two coins? Who can say that this is all in vain? You spent your savings to get a bargain and this person came to rip you off?
Even if her banker makes money from tofu, it is still the result of hard work. I don’t see these two women going to the mill to grind beans every day before dawn, and they are so busy that they don’t even take a break. It’s not easy.
Everyone was initially frightened by the evidence that Niu Dan took out, but after Shen Ling explained it, they realized that this guy was not a good person.
You, a scoundrel from Sanlin Village, don't even look at where you are, yet you still come to bully me, right?
"How can we, the people of Erlizi Village, be bullied by people from other villages? Didn't you see how arrogant he was just now? If my wife hadn't been holding me back, I would have given him some trouble in the morning!"
"That's right! This thief with a sly look will be beaten out with a stick. Why should he be given any money? He's so cheap!"
The unkind looks from everyone made the eggs pierce the back, but the two pieces of money in the box in front of me were real.
This time he didn't get it done, so he probably had no hope of the money promised there. If he didn't take the opportunity to accept what this stupid girl gave him, wouldn't he really become an idiot?
Zhuang Keqing handed the box forward.
Niu Dan stared at the money in the box, licked his lips, tremblingly stretched out his hand to poke into the box. When he was about to touch the money, he paused again. He took a sneak peek. Looking in the direction of Shen Ling, he saw that the boy didn't say anything and had no intention of stopping him. Then he felt relieved and grabbed the two pieces of money with his pocket, and quickly kicked them into his arms.
After he got the money, he turned around and ran away without saying any more nonsense.
"etc."
Shen Ling's cold voice sounded.
The hairs on Niudan's back stood up.
What is this kid going to do again!
If it weren't for the fact that he was kicked out by Shen Ling today and was frightened out of his wits, Niu Dan would even think that the sound was pleasant.
"Since you took the money, you should hand over the papers to us."
That's it?
Niu Dan, who had collected the money and was on guard, relaxed. He took out the crumpled document stuffed in his belt and threw it directly into the box that Zhuang Keqing had opened. "Here you go, here you go, let's clear the money and goods." It’s over!”
After saying that, he didn't give anyone a chance to reply. He took the money and ran away.
The villagers couldn't figure out why the banker's girl let this bastard go so easily. At this time, they felt a little unhappy, but they were not the perpetrators after all, and no one in the hall had any objections. They couldn't say anything else, they just stayed in the courtyard. They are unwilling to give way to the eggs.
"Get out of the way!" Niu Dan said anxiously, "Who do you think you are? Why are you trying to stop me!"
He cursed uncontrollably, which made a few young and energetic young people unable to hold back their anger. They crowded over, intending to show off this second-rate guy!
But before they could punish Niu Dan, another group of people came outside the small courtyard.
They were said to be a group of people, but in fact they were only seven or eight people. But they all wore the same clothes, were tall and tall, and had fierce looks on their faces.
This, aren't these the servants of the Shen family?
Some villagers recognized it, covered their mouths, and stared blankly at the group of people, led by a middle-aged man, who roughly pushed their way through the crowd and came to Niudan, and surrounded him.
"beat!"
Before Niu Dan could figure out the situation, Dou Tou was hit by fists like raindrops.
This burst of cries and howls was ten times worse than the previous screams from Shen Ling's kick. The thumping sounds of fists hitting the flesh and the cries of pain and begging for mercy were so real that it made one's teeth hurt.
Shen Ling saw the leader at once.
The steward of the Shen family, Uncle De.
…
Not long ago, Niu Dan was still in the hall, brazenly and aggressively trying to disrupt the marriage. Uncle De saw that something was wrong and immediately went back to report it.
"What! An inexplicable villain came to disrupt the situation?"
Seeing that Uncle De came back so early, Mrs. Zhou thought that the marriage had been done in a hasty and shabby way and was over. Who would have thought that she would get such news.
She smashed a porcelain bowl with floral patterns and raised her forehead. She felt her temples beating suddenly and her heart felt depressed.
This won't work!
No matter who it is, they can't mess up that boy Shen Ling's marriage!
As long as he gets married here, takes root here, and becomes a laughing stock, even if the master regrets it later, it will have nothing to do with the Shen family.
How could I let things fall short at this juncture!
"You, bring some good hands." Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, "Give me a cure for that scoundrel so that he can think clearly before speaking."
"Understood, ma'am." Uncle De understood. He turned around and went to the outer courtyard to recruit a few men who were doing rough work on weekdays. They were energetic and strong and followed him.
Mrs. Zhou leaned on the couch and frowned.
This kid is really considered a bad star. He can even attract such a person when he gets married. Fortunately, he kicked him out early, otherwise he would not know how to defeat the Shen family!
When wet nurse Lin saw that Madam looked bad, she came forward, gently rubbed the acupuncture points on her head, and said comfortingly, "Liu De is reliable in his work, so you can rest assured, there will definitely be no problem in this matter."
Of course Mr. Zhou would not look down upon a country bum. A beating would make such a person honest.
Humph! It’s just that that guy Shen Ling got a better deal.
Uncle De took seven or eight servants and hurried to the banker's house.
He was rushing and reporting just now, which delayed a lot of time. Now he just hoped that Shen Ling would have some backbone and not let go until he arrived. Otherwise, if he messed up the errand, he would not know what punishment he would get when he turned around.
Uncle De ran at the front and saw from a distance that there were still as many people surrounding the Zhuang's courtyard as before, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately I caught up!
When he came to the door, he didn't say much nonsense, pushed aside the villagers, and when he came up, he saw the cow egg.
Good guy, I got all my money from this?!
Uncle De was afraid that something might have changed, so he quickly ordered his servants to surround the people without giving them a chance to speak. He only asked them to beat him before talking.
None of the villagers in Erlizi Village had ever seen this scene before.
Even if there are any disputes on weekdays, most of them are verbal but not physical. No matter how hard the wife and mother-in-law scold, there are not many men who will actually expose their arms and get into a fight, let alone a few strong men. Han beat up a skinny monkey.
But everyone had just seen Niu Dan extorting money, and now seeing him being beaten, they all felt inexplicably happy.
Well done! Well deserved!
Niudan hugged his head, huddled up in a ball, howled miserably, and received countless punches and kicks on his back and butt.
