BXBX NOVEL Chapter 323 - 323: Beating
When Tian Zhong, who had been calmly standing at the side and watching the battle, saw that Madam Wang and his son were at a disadvantage, he fiercely picked up the hoe and hit Ruyi. Ruyi flashed behind him and kicked him, sending him flying. He also threw Madam Wang out. The family of three lay on the ground and cried out.
“Good fight,” the villagers cheered.
The villagers, who were watching from afar, were excited and began to discuss softly, “Good job. Finally, someone will deal with his family.”
A timid villager dodged to the side. “Everyone, lower your voices. Don’t let his boss, Tian Mazi, hear you and come looking for trouble.”
One of them sighed. “That’s right! Don’t let Tian Mazi see us. He’s a shameless scoundrel.”
“You’ve been beaten up! Who asked you to slack off and not cultivate properly?” Ruyi helped Ah Wei up from the ground. After helping him up, he realized that Ah Wei’s clothes had also been torn to shreds by Madam Wang and her son.
Ah Wei gritted his teeth in pain. He clutched his chest and pointed at the three people from the Tian family. “Brother Ruyi, they were the ones who stole our corn seedlings. I saw them with my own eyes, but they still refused to admit it and even hit me.” As he spoke, he covered his chest and groaned. “Aiyo! My chest hurts!”
Ruyi gave Ah Wei a disdainful look. “Are you stupid?! Don’t you know to go home and report to Madam before making a fuss? You deserve to be beaten
Ah Wei said timidly, “When I saw the corn seedlings that were stolen from them, I didn’t think too much about it in my anger.”
Seeing that he was limping, Ruyi went forward and touched the bones of his legs. When he didn’t find any fractures, she asked with relief, “Where else does it hurt other than your chest?”
Ah Wei grinned and looked bitter. “Brother Ruyi, I hurt all over.”
Ruyi looked at him and said, “Can you bear it?” Ah Wei nodded.
Ruyi walked up to Tian Zhong and looked down at him. “Hand over the corn seedlings obediently. Otherwise, wait for the government office to investigate.”
Madam Wang rolled over and got up. She spat at Ruyi. “Pfft! What right do you have to say that it’s your corn? Do you think it’s only available on your farmstead? My daughter sent those corns to me as filial gifts.”
Ruyi looked at Madam Wang coldly. “You’d better think carefully before saying anything.” Madam Wang took a few steps back in fear. “Someone! The foreigners are going to beat someone to death. Ah Kuan, quickly go to the farm and call your brother.”
When Tian Kuan heard this, he endured the pain and got up. He pointed at Ruyi and shouted, “Bastard, how dare you hit me? Wait here if you have the guts.” As he shouted, he limped towards Tian Village.
Ah Wei shouted at him, “Bastard, don’t worry. Your grandfather won’t leave.” Ruyi rolled his eyes at Ah Wei. “Doesn’t it hurt anymore?
Ah Wei clutched his chest and sat on the ground. “It hurts. How can it not hurt!”
Ruyi pointed at the arrogant and domineering Madam Wang and Tian Zhong, who had gotten up and was standing beside her. He warned the couple, “I’ll give you another chance to hand over the corn seedlings. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless.”
“Pfft!” Madam Wang placed her hands on her hips and pursed her lips. “Stop putting on airs for me. If you have the ability, report it to the officials!”
Tian Zhong was a little afraid when he saw Ruyi’s expression. He pulled Madam Wang’s sleeve and pulled her into the house. “Damn it, I don’t think that person is joking. Why don’t we return the corn seedlings to them!”
“Return it to them? It’s equivalent to us admitting to stealing his family’s corn seedlings! That won’t do.” Madam Wang saw that the ox cart in the courtyard had come up with a plan and recalled that the cow at home had just given birth. It was just right to feed those tender green corn seedlings to the calves. “Hurry up and carry those corn seedlings out and pour them for the cows to eat. Once they are in the cows’ stomachs, we” see where he can find corn seedlings. When the time comes, we’ll sue them for slander and assault us to make them pay.”
“This is a good idea.” When Tian Zhong heard that he could still extort money, his body no longer hurt. “Damn it, your brain is still the best.”
Madam Wang rolled her eyes at him and said proudly, “Of course, my brain is better than yours.” The couple walked towards the cellar.
Ruyi watched as Tian Zhong pulled Madam Wang into the house. He muttered that they were up to no good, but he did not expect Madam Wang to take the corn seedlings to feed the cows. Just as he was about to go in to check, Tian Kuan ran to Ruyi with a burly young man with a pockmarked face. Behind the two of them were a few men with clubs.
Tian Kuan pointed at Ruyi and Ah Wei. “Brother, these two bastards beat me and Father up.”
Tian Mazi pointed at Ruyi and sneered. “You’re quite bold! How dare you come to my Tian family to hit someone? I think you’re itching for a beating!
“I advise you not to be too arrogant. It was your family who stole the corn seedlings from my farm and injured my farm…”
Tian Mazi interrupted Ruyi and shouted arrogantly, “So what if I hit you?” As he spoke, he punched Ruyi. The others rushed forward with clubs.
“Ah Wei, dodge.” Ruyi grabbed Tian Mazi’s hand and twisted it back. With a crack, he broke Tian Mazi’s wrist. Tian Mazi screamed in pain. Then, Ruyi pulled him in front of him to block the attack for him. Tian Mazi’s men did not have time to stop and hit him. Tian Mazi was knocked unconscious on the ground.
Ruyi knocked all of them to the ground with a few punches and kicks. He detained Tian Kuan and entered the courtyard. When he found the cowshed, he saw the corn seedlings that had yet to be eaten in the cowshed. He pushed Tian Kuan away and jumped into the cowshed to snatch the remaining few corn seedlings.
“You don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.” Ruyi was so angry that she kicked Tian Zhong and Madam Wang to the ground. “Let’s see how you can quibble when you’re caught red-handed.”
Madam Wang lay on the ground and shouted, “Ah… someone snatching things! Someone come quickly…” The dogs tied outside the cowshed of the Tian family also barked.
Ruyi went forward and slapped Madam Wang unconscious. He picked up the rope hanging from the cowshed and tied Tian Zhong and Tian Kuan together. Ah Wei limped in and picked up the corn seedlings Ruyi had placed on the ground. Ruyi pulled them out.
Tian Mazi and the long-term workers also got up from the ground. Tian Mazi shouted at Ruyi, “Where are you taking my parents?”
At this moment, the village chief of the Yang family village walked out of nowhere. He stopped Ruyi and cupped his hands with a smile. “Little brother, I’m the village chief of the Yang family village. It’s the Tian family’s fault for stealing crops. The village will deal with them. Go back first to prevent things from blowing up.”
Ruyi looked at him and sneered. “Get this straight. Who is causing trouble? The Tian family has been caught red-handed, yet you still dare to accuse me when I wanted to bring the Tian family away. Where were you when my Ah Wei was pressed to the ground by the Tian mother and son? Do you know how useful those hundred or so corn seedlings are? You actually dare to protect a family of thieves and wreak havoc in the village..”
