178 Shanyang Village Can Hardly Look After Themselves
Little Ah Yu did not know that not far from them, someone from Shanyang Village was being beaten up.
After dinner, before the sky turned completely dark, Little Ah Yu ran to the pool in high spirits and lay on the edges to look at the fish inside.
The little lamb was chasing the rat around. Now, the rat had already become the Wang Family’s pet. Beside the lamb’s food bowl was the bowl of the rat.
To the little lamb, this spirit treasure rat was not easy to subdue. In the Hu Family Village, it was the Boss Sheep. Now, it had to subdue this rat and teach it the meaning of being a subordinate.
“Little lamb, don’t knock Ah Yu down,” Liu Shi called from afar.
“Baa!” the lamb shouted in response.
Wang Wulang came over. “Sister Ah Yu, what are you looking at?”
Little Ah Yu said, “I’m looking at the fish inside. There’s too little! The pool is so big but there are so few fish.”
“This fish looks different. It’s golden. I don’t see any for sale in town,” Wang Wulang said. “Why don’t we go fishing in the river during the holidays?”
Other than the official holiday, they still had one day off every ten days. Time was tight, so it was not worth it to go back to their hometown. They could only go to the nearby river.
The rivers in Great Chang Nation were rich, and there were rivers and lakes inside. There was also a large sea by the border of the country, so there was rarely a drought in most places, but there were more floods.
“Alright.” Little Ah Yu counted on her fingers. “Call Big Brother Ah You along when the time comes.”
Wang Wulang muttered, “Your Big Brother Ah You is involved in everything. Why isn’t he on your side?”
Little Ah Yu tugged at Wang Wulang’s sleeve and smiled. “But I didn’t forget Fifth Brother either!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she spoke, she patted Wang Wulang’s shoulder like a little adult and imitated Old man Wang’s tone. “Wulang ah, Wulang, you have to be more magnanimous. Ah Yu has many brothers, but you only have one Little Sister Ah Yu, so Ah Yu is also very busy!”
Wang Wulang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, Wang Dalang was talking to the Wang family about Shanyang Village.
Because this involved a lot of things, he did not tell the other children and only let them play at the side.
When Old man Wang heard Wang Dalang’s words, he frowned. “Their Shanyang Village is really rotten to the core. They want to obtain everything without working. They actually have even more vicious thoughts!”
Wang Chuangui’s eyes flickered with a cold light. “In the past, when they were punished, it was already a light punishment. They must have thought that since the officials in the county office were moving, they actually don’t want to repent and still want others to pity them?”
Previously, when the people from Shanyang Village came to cause trouble, Wang Chuangui could only lie at home because his legs were inconvenient. However, he heard the commotion outside very clearly.
Everyone said that the Wang Family was kind and honest, but Wang Chuangui was not.
After being paralyzed for so many years, although the Wang family had never despised him and had carefully taken care of his mental health, people who had been paralyzed would always think too much.
If he lay in bed every day and had nothing else to do, wouldn’t he be pondering over his thoughts?
Old man Wang said, “Why don’t we go and look for Lord Zhang? It was also Lord Zhang who gave the order to punish Shanyang Village last time.”
“Lord Zhang must be very busy. Will he care about our matters?” Wang Chuangui was not optimistic. “Why don’t we look for the main family of Shanyang Village?”
Every village had roots, but some had roots in their own village, while others were in other villages. They were of the same clan and had deep roots.
In fact, although the villagers were respectful to the officials, they were more afraid of the people from their own village. Many of the current laws of the Great Chang Nation were only targeted at the commoners, but there were some vague concepts that the law could not punish.
For example, the law did not stipulate how one would be judged if they ate their own child.
No normal person could think of this. How could it be written into the law?
Similarly, if the people from Shanyang Village came to their bun shop to cause trouble or borrow money, even if the officials came, they would only chase them away.
It would only cure the symptoms and not the root of the problem. It would not be of much use and would even affect their business.
“If we go to their clans, I’m afraid they won’t care.” Madam Ma was not very optimistic.
Even cows knew how to protect their calf. Their fellow tribesmen must be protecting their own people.
Wang Chuanyuan and his wife were living in the shop now. As Cai Niu was far from home, he slept on the floor in the storeroom. Sometimes, when business was good that day, he would eat a few baskets of buns in the afternoon and would not go back for dinner. At this moment, the three of them were not around.
At this moment, they were about to rest when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Wang Chuanyuan immediately jumped up from the bed.
“What are you doing?” Madam Zhang was a little dissatisfied. “You’re scaring me to death.”
Wang Chuanyuan had already begun to put on his clothes. “There’s movement outside. I’ll go out and take a look. Go to sleep first.”
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark outside, he went to see what was going on.
“Alright, go then. Tell me when you come back.” She was too sleepy. Making buns was much more tiring than she had imagined.
Fortunately, she could still earn money and eat buns every day. It could be considered her only comfort.
When Wang Chuanyuan walked out, he realized that Cai Niu was also there.
“Brother Cai, did you hear what they were saying outside?”
Cai Niu clapped his hands. “Heh, I really heard it. It seems that a group of villagers caused trouble and were beaten up by righteous people.”
“Ah!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe security in town was quite good. Why would anyone cause trouble?
Wang Chuanyuan liked to watch the show. He immediately opened the small door and crawled out to take a look.
The door of the bun shop was made with wooden beams. Fortunately, there was a small door on the other side. Otherwise, just opening the huge front door would have wasted a lot of time.
When they arrived outside, they saw many people surrounding and pointing.
There were also voices shouting.
There were even servants holding clubs.
Whoa, this scene was not small!
...
Wang Chuanyuan casually tugged at someone’s sleeve. “Brother, what happened? Tell me.”
That person saw that it was the shopkeeper of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop and shared it with him excitedly.
“I wonder which village’s people came to cause trouble. They happened to kick an iron plate and were caught by the Zhang family’s young miss. Sigh, they were beaten up so badly!” That person sighed. “They probably wanted to extort money and lay on the ground for a long time, unwilling to get up. They insisted that the Zhang family compensate them.”
Wang Chuanyuan’s eyes widened. “Then they have to compensate a lot of money, right? Otherwise, what will they do when they report it to the officials?”
“What official? The Zhang family are landlords. They can be considered one of the top families in our Nanhe Town. Who would dare to report them? They probably don’t want to live anymore!”
As that person spoke, he shook his head. “It’s fine if they don’t cause trouble. The Zhang family’s young miss loves trouble. The Zhang family usually uses money to settle things. But if they’re unreasonable, the Zhang family won’t be easy to deal with.”
That person also told Wang Chuanyuan some rumors about the Zhang family, so Wang Chuanyuan expressed his full sympathy for that bunch of villagers.
After hearing the gossip, Wang Chuanyuan was finally satisfied.
When he returned, he shared this matter with Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang yawned and said in a daze, “What’s there to talk about? It has nothing to do with our family. Hurry up and sleep. We still have to wake up tomorrow morning to make buns!”
The Wang family did not know that Shanyang Village, which they were worried about, could hardly take care of themselves.
