Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1033: The case is solved (1 words, monthly ticket +5)

"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."

"Why are these two good people fighting here?"

"Yeah, let's talk it over. Stop fighting. There are so many people watching us..."

"Talk nicely... Ouch... There are muddy puddles all over the ground... Stop hitting me, okay, okay, stop hitting me..."

A bunch of men and women came out to help break up the fight.

It rained for two days and the sky cleared up today. Early in the morning, everyone was busy at home, some were doing laundry, some were drying quilts, some were tidying up their private plots, or some were repairing their homes. Everyone quickly put down the work at hand.

There is a natural difference in physical strength between men and women. Although Haozi is short, not much taller than his wife, only about 1 meters tall, he has done more work and has more strength in his hands. As soon as everyone ran out to pull them away, his wife beat him and fell into a mud pit.

I don't know if it was because of the previous grudges, but the family was in a very ugly quarrel. He beat his wife without hesitation, and beat her to death. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. No matter how the villagers tried to pull him back, he just kept kicking her.

His wife also cursed him quite vulgarly, and even fell to the ground she was still swearing.

Ye Yaodong couldn't figure it out. What kind of evidence could make the two of them so inseparable that they fought to death but still didn't divorce? Was there any meaning in living like this? Could they still live like this?

The neighbors, the male one pulled the rat and the female one pulled his wife, and finally they separated the two people, and helped his wife, who was covered in mud, up.

If it hadn't been raining these past two days and no one was going out to sea, and the workshop hadn't been busy for the time being, it's estimated that even if the two of them fought to death, no one would come to help break up the fight.

"You bastard, try to touch me again. If you dare to touch me again, I will expose what you have done. At worst, we can just break up and see what kind of wife I can find after you leave me. Do you think anyone would be willing to be a stepmother?"

"Do you think everyone can have Ye Yaosheng's luck? Dream on, you bastard, a coward who doesn't even know how to lie down when he dies. No one can compare to you, yet you are jealous. You are just like a rat in the gutter..."

"I have no ability and my heart is smaller than a needle tip. I serve your whole family, but in the end, I have to be beaten by you two every day. You are the evil ones in the family, and you still have the nerve to call me a leech..."

"I don't want to live with you anymore. It's hard to find a three-legged frog. A two-legged man is much better than a dead rat like you, you useless loser..."

The mouse's wife was beaten so badly that her face was swollen and black and blue, her hair was a mess, and her body was covered with yellow mud. She looked very miserable, but she kept pointing her finger and cursing, and her arrogance seemed so great that she was not suppressed at all.

Seeing Haozi rushing forward with a sullen face, wanting to rush over and beat people up again, only the men were strong enough to hold him back.

"Divorce, what's the point of marrying a woman like you? Your whole family is like leeches. It's been 10 years, and I've been a slave for 10 years. Look at you, you're so arrogant that you can only spew shit..."

"Go home or I'll beat you to death... You're such a stinky mouth that only knows how to talk nonsense... I'm so unlucky to marry a woman like you, I'll beat you to death..."

Her wife arrogantly stiffened her neck and cursed, "You dare to kill me? Let's see who will kill me first, or I will poison you with rat poison first."

"Your name is right, rat. It's a rat in the gutter. It's dirty, smelly and disgusting. On the surface, it's because you're jealous of others' wealth, but in fact, you hate them to death too. Yet you still pretend to be honest and simple-minded. Everyone has been deceived by you."

"I can't live any more than this. You don't have any skills except beating women. You only earn a few cents, not even enough to feed your family. And you dare to hit me? I should make you a street rat, everyone shouting and beating you."

Ye Yaodong stood at the door and listened to the couple swearing at each other. He felt that there was a lot going on. It seemed that although they had not divorced during this period, they had fought a lot, and the swearing was dirtier than the last, and they had exercised a lot.

The couple was swearing at each other, and the neighbors were also busy, pulling them together and persuading them to say less.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, go home and tell them. It's so ugly and embarrassing to be scolded like this outside."

"There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a couple. There's no need to talk it out. As for getting divorced just because of a fight..."

"Yes, yes, don't make a scene outside. Let's go home. A couple can fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of the bed. There's no such thing as a conflict that can't be resolved..."

"Talk nicely, talk nicely, stop scolding, stop hitting..."

"That's it, stop making a scene, and talk it out nicely... The children are watching... Regardless of anything else, don't make a scene in front of the children..."

The couple was fighting, and it was impossible to calm them down with just a few words, especially since they had been fighting behind closed doors for more than half a year.

At the beginning, because of his bad leg, he could only be beaten by his wife. Later, after his leg healed, it was his wife's turn to be beaten. The two of them fought more and more fiercely.

"It's him who didn't give up, not me. He rushed over to hit me. He thought he was the king and I deserved to be beaten to death. He saw me coming to find Ah Dong, and he..."

"Go home, or I'll kill you..."

"You coward, are you scared? You are just a rat in the gutter... You are just pretending to be honest. Everyone is fooled by your fake honesty. You say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. On the surface, you want to get close to others and repair the relationship, but secretly you are jealous and directly write a letter of denunciation..."

Haozi stared at her fiercely with eyes as big as copper bells, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are full of shit all day long and never tell the truth. If you keep talking nonsense, I will break your legs when I get home. I will see you come out and embarrass yourself again. It's been a few days since I last beat you up..."

When an honest person gets angry, he can be really cruel, not to mention that this one is pretending to be honest. Looking at his fierce look, the neighbors on both sides were a little surprised.

"What? Are you scared? If you dare to do something but not take responsibility, and if you dare to hit me, I will expose what you have done and see how you can expose your connections and pretend to be honest and lie to others..."

Ye Yaodong realized something was wrong when he heard the three words "report letter" and looked at the couple in surprise and suspicion.

He had a report letter before but couldn't find the source.

At that time, there were two letters of accusation. One was reporting him for smuggling together with Lin Ji Shang, and the other letter was reporting him for smuggling alone. Both letters were put into the mailbox one after another.

Because it is a small village, the mailbox is usually only opened once a week. When Xu Lai Fu was delivering the mail stealthily, he happened to be seen by Secretary Chen, who then opened the mailbox and found two letters.

Later, Secretary Chen gave the two letters to him and Lin Jishang respectively, but Secretary Chen sorted them wrong, so he went to exchange them with Lin Jishang.

As a result, Xu Laifu had his wrist chopped off in the early morning of the next day and was found lying at the entrance of the village by villagers. Now he is living a life neither human nor ghost. He is so scared that he hides at home and dares not go out again.

And the culprit of his other report letter has not been found yet, so it turns out to be here?

It really surprised him.

I never thought of people as bad as they are. It turns out that people's hearts are really fickle.

It is true that they have the same stink, a turtle and a tortoise, people from the same family tend to marry alike, and snakes and rats live in the same nest.

There is a reason for drifting apart. How could there be no reason for it?

Not only he heard the three words in the report letter, but the neighbors around also heard it. Everyone was surprised to see the couple turning against each other. Because they were too surprised, one of them didn't hold back well, and the two of them started fighting again.

Haozi slapped the man hard on the head, causing him to stagger.

His wife was not a pushover either. She scratched his face with five claw marks. It was very difficult for everyone to pull them apart.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, let's talk it over..."

"What report letter? What report did you just say?"

The voices advising them not to fight were mixed with questions about the report letter, and the gossip fire in everyone's heart burned again.

Fighting is fighting, gossip is gossip, they don't affect each other.

If we don't ask now, when the two people's anger has subsided later, no one will know anything about the report letter.

Someone grasped the main point and asked about the report letter, and others followed suit and asked what the report letter was and what it was all about.

"Hey? I remember that in March and April last year, Adong was reported by someone and taken to the border station. The whole family was scared to death."

"I remember this happening. Didn't everyone say it was done by Haozi's wife?"

"Yeah, I remember that too. At that time, their family was splashed with feces and there was a commotion for several days. Later, Ah Dong forced her to swear to Mazu, but she didn't dare to do so. Then everyone started saying that she did it..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember it too... It happened last year... It turned out that it wasn't her who did it, but her husband?"

Everyone looked between the two with contempt.

Haozi was so angry that he shouted in panic: "She is talking nonsense. It has nothing to do with me. It was obviously her own fault, and she is throwing shit on my head."

Haozi's wife's eyes flickered as well. At first, she had never thought that she could put the blame on Haozi. Now that the villagers took the initiative to let him take the blame, she was happy to do so and continued to shout loudly.

"That's what he did. He's a repeat offender. This is not the first time he's reported me. There was another time the year before last when he even went to the mailbox at the entrance of the village committee to post a report about Adong's smuggling."

"Nonsense... She is talking nonsense, deliberately taking revenge on me..." He kept shouting and quibbling in the face of his wife's accusations, trying to interrupt her, but the wife kept talking louder and louder.

"This time, the report was submitted, but there was no response, so he reported it again at the beginning of last year."

"Shut up! You're talking nonsense! It was obviously her who did it, but you're putting the blame on me..."

"…This time, the letter was delivered directly to the mailbox at the border guard gate, so Adong was taken away the next day."

"He did it all. He's a repeat offender. On the surface, he pretends to be honest and tries to get close to people and mend their friendship so that he can get some benefits from them and see if he can get something out of Ah Dong's fingers."

"It wasn't me... Don't listen to her bullshit..."

Haozi's eyes were bloodshot with anger, but he was pinned down by his neighbors on both sides, so he couldn't rush forward no matter how hard he tried. His tongue was not as eloquent as a woman's, so he couldn't scold anyone, and his voice wasn't as sharp as a woman's.

It was noisy all around, with all kinds of sounds, but none of them could outweigh the sound of his wife.

"... He is one person in public and another in private. He is just a rat in the gutter. He has no skills at all. He just pretends to be a big shot and beats his wife at home..."

"It was obviously her who did it. At that time, Dongzi asked her to swear in front of Mazu, but she ran away because she was guilty. It was she who did it, but she wants to put the blame on me..." Haozi glared at me angrily.

The neighbors thought it made sense. But his wife didn't dare to swear at that time. If it was her husband who did it and it was none of her business, what would it matter if she swore?
"I didn't think too much at the time. I just thought I couldn't swear randomly, and he was my man. Anyway, you wrote both reports, so you can't get away with it.

"See who dares to be your friend. You appear nice on the surface, but stab people in the back. You have no ability at all. You are a coward and you can't stand seeing others doing well."

"Don't listen to her. This woman doesn't tell the truth. It was clearly her who did it, but she still wants to put the blame on me just because I hit her..."

Ye Yaodong frowned, his face was murky. Originally, he just didn't interfere with the fight between the couple, but now it has become like this and the matter of his letter of complaint was exposed, so he had to ask a question.

"Was it you who put the letter of accusation in the village committee mailbox two years ago?" he said to Haozi in an affirmative tone.

As for the time when he went to the border guard post to drink tea, it was undoubtedly his wife who reported it, that is certain, and she cannot deny it by making excuses.

"No, it wasn't me... She's talking nonsense. She wrote both letters..."

"You two are really awesome. This is your family tradition, right? The man reported it, and then the woman reported it. The nicknames are really not wrong at all. When you do something, there will be traces. Don't treat everyone as fools."

Haozi shook his head like a rattle, with a look of fear and trepidation on his face, "I didn't do it, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me, it was her..."

"I didn't ask about the time when I was taken to the border because I was sure that it was your wife who did it. I just didn't expect that you were the one who wrote the letter two years ago. You two each sent a letter, and you really didn't miss anyone."

"It's really not me..."

"…I'm just drying fish, creating jobs for the villagers and allowing the women to earn extra money to supplement their family income. Who am I bothering? How could you be so jealous that you want to report me for smuggling?"

"Who saw me smuggling? Who saw other large quantities of goods appearing in my house besides dried fish? My two workshops are openly open there, and I dry dried fish in an honest manner. I have nothing to fear from my shadow."

"Is this true? Dongzi, did the couple write one letter each?" Ye Yaopeng frowned.

Ye Yaohua also glared at Haozi angrily, "How can there be such a person in our village? Not only can he be jealous of others' success, but he also wrote a letter of denunciation? He is still hurting his friend, but what kind of friend is he? He is obviously an enemy, secretly wanting you to die."

"It's really heartless. It turns out that one of the couple wrote a letter. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. They can do the same thing. No wonder they can get along well with each other."

"What they said was absolutely right. One was a rat in the gutter, and the other was a person who had eaten too much shit and was full of shit. You shouldn't have tried to stop the fight. Beat them both to death."

"Everyone, stop pulling, stop pulling. Beat them. Both of them are not good people. They are from the same village, but they can actually do something like reporting, which everyone would condemn."

"The key is that he deliberately wronged people and disgusted them. I am so unlucky that I have to be friends with such a person..."

"Hey, let go, stop pulling, and beat them..."

The two sisters-in-law also spoke one after another, inciting the neighbors around them.

Everyone quickly let go and stopped trying to stop them from fighting.

And he particularly despised the two people. Reporting such things is shameful. Obviously, they are all innocent. Just because they can make money, they deserve to die?
"Aren't these two people too evil?"

"That is to say... others have one mind, but they have eight minds, and they are all bad minds..."

"If you ask me, it's just too immoral. And this kind of thing will happen again after the first time. Once it happens, it will happen again."

"It's a pity that Haozi had come to my house to try to get close to me before, but it turns out that he was acting differently behind my back, pretending to be honest..."

"Who said it wasn't true? It turns out it was all fake. He reported you when he was unhappy. How can you dare to associate with such a person in the future?"

Everyone stood around and pointed at the couple.

Not to mention that they did something immoral, just the fact that everyone was helping out in the workshop, hoping to earn some money to supplement their family income, made it clear which side they should stand on with their eyes closed.

Haozi felt very ashamed and angry when everyone pointed at him and scolded him, but no one would listen to his explanation. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who was right and who was wrong, who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Anyway, even if he didn't do it, it must have been his wife. The couple are like snakes and rats in the same nest, so how could they not know what the other had done?

Even if one party did not do it, everyone knows about it. In this case, they still come to the door and try to gain relationships with the other party. That's really shameless and insidious.

Such people are too dark inside and pretending to be honest is just an appearance. Such people are the most terrifying.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he was such a person. He was quite good at hiding. In his previous life, he was exploited by his wife and worked hard, but it turned out that it was all fake. He was just scared by the Yue family and was tamed by them so that he had to do it obediently. In fact, he was very dark in his heart.

Mouse's wife also looked at him happily at this time. What if she reported him? What could he do to her? This was what was said in the village, but Mouse's reputation was ruined by her.

"If I'm not doing well, then you won't be doing well either. If you dare to hit me, then we'll just part ways. I've put up with you for a long time, so I'm going to expose everything you've done so that everyone knows what kind of person you are. You're not a human being..."

At this moment, no one was holding back the two of them. Haozi's anger had already subsided when the truth was revealed, and his emotion had turned into panic. But at this time, his anger was rising again and directly exploded.

He rushed over and started punching and kicking the woman fiercely. He couldn't do anything to the people around him, but he could still deal with this woman at will.

"You stinky bitch, you are talking nonsense and making false accusations against me. I will tear your mouth and beat you to death, you stinky bitch. I will teach you a lesson for talking nonsense, I will teach you a lesson for talking nonsense..."

The mouse's wife fought back and bit his hand hard, until her mouth was full of blood. Then she scratched his face and started to curse him.

"I'm telling the truth. It was you who did it. The people have sharp eyes. It was you who did it. You dead rat... you dead rat in the gutter..."

"I'll beat you to death..."

"I'll fight with you..."

The couple wrestled with each other, beating each other to death, and finally both fell to the ground.

The people around wanted to step forward to stop the fight but hesitated. They didn't look like good people and some of them even secretly glanced at Ye Yaodong.

The younger brother in the workshop heard the noise here and came over early to watch the show. He heard it clearly from beginning to end. After he understood everything, he wanted to go up and beat the people up.

But seeing the two of them fighting so closely, I didn't know for a moment whether I should go up and beat them both together, after all, both the husband and wife were involved.

"Brother Dong? Do you want us to go up and beat them all up?"

"Do you need to fight? You've dirty your hands. These two are just biting each other."

"It's really dirty, as if it had rolled in a cesspool. So let's wait until they finish beating us?"

"It's so disgusting. Brother Dong hired him to work before. He's so insidious. He says one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. His heart is so dirty."

The news from their side spread to the village, attracting more and more people. At first, because of their location on the beach, the news could not be heard in the village. But as time went on, more and more people who passed by or walked around came to see what was going on.

Moreover, Lin Xiuqing also arrived late with her two children.

She realized something was wrong when the couple started fighting and the neighbors gathered at the door. Normally, if someone took the initiative to talk or do something, there would only be a few people standing at the door chatting. How could there be such a large group of people gathered at the door, and so concentrated together?

When she found something was wrong, she immediately took the two children back. However, the two children walked slowly and she could not hold both of them at the same time. Without Ye Yaodong's arm strength, she could only keep urging the two children to walk faster to get home.

When they were almost at the door of their home, they would walk ahead and let the dog behind them walk slowly with them.

"What's going on? Why did a fight break out? Why don't you help to stop the fight? Are you just standing there watching?"

Wang Guangliang and his friends immediately told her what had happened, and the neighbors also added a few words.

The neighbors who had just arrived didn't know the details and were there to help break up the fight. After hearing what happened, you cursed in your heart, saying they deserved it.

Lin Xiuqing was straightforward, spitting and cursing, "It's what you deserve! This guy is even worse than your previous broken up friend. At least he openly hated your good fortune and simply stopped associating with you. This guy is really disgusting, pretending to be good friends, but actually he's a rotten person at heart."

"Amitabha, this person is so evil..."

The old lady was also chanting "Amitabha" non-stop beside him.

"That's right. It's better to be bad in public. Everyone can just avoid it. I'm afraid of those who like to do things in secret..."

The neighbors saw the woman being beaten to the ground, and Haozi was still beating her hard. They thought they couldn't just beat her to death, so they rushed over to help her.

When the villagers came over, they also helped to persuade the two to stop fighting. After a while, they separated the two people. After listening to everyone talking about the reason for the fight, they gave up. Now they hurried to help separate the two to prevent anyone from being beaten to death.

"Oh, stop hitting me. I'll kill you if you keep hitting me."

"If you beat someone to death, you will go to jail... So let's just take him back quickly. It will be embarrassing to leave him like this outside..."

"Yeah, just take him back first, that's enough, both of them are wrong..."

After being pulled away by everyone, Haozi immediately pushed everyone away again, without saying a word or looking at anyone, and stumbled towards the village.

Everyone was looking at his back and pointing. The women felt some sympathy when they saw the woman lying on the ground unable to move after being beaten.

poor person must have something mean.

"What should I do?"

"Send her home, what else can you do? Do you want to take her back to your own home?"

"If we send him back, will he be beaten to death again?"

"Send her back to her parents' home. Maybe that would be better."

"Why didn't my family see it? They didn't come here either..."

"Luckily he wasn't there, if he was, he would have probably fought even harder."

"Then send her back to her parents' home first. Luckily, we are from the same village, so it's not too far away..."

Several women first carried the woman on their shoulders and prepared to carry her back.

The villagers who had not yet dispersed were still whispering.

"I didn't expect that the couple are the same. I felt sorry for him before. His wife was so mean and she used to support her family. Now, it turns out that he has a bad heart. Who knows when he will stab his father-in-law..."

"I heard that he was beaten by his uncles from time to time. He has such a bad heart and is so sinister. Who knows, he might have some bad thoughts about my father-in-law's family in his heart?"

"Maybe there really is..."

"Hey? You said... last year, his father-in-law's family was splashed with feces and beaten in the middle of the night. Could it be that he ordered others to do it?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Yes, maybe he ordered someone to do it. After all, he is such a bad person. His father-in-law's family keeps exploiting him, and his wife keeps giving money to her family, and she gets beaten from time to time..."

"He was jealous of his friend's wealth and reported it, not to mention his father-in-law's family who treated him badly. Maybe he really did it!"

"Oh, they wrongly accused Adong at that time, saying that it was Adong who did it!"

"Adong is really wronged~"

"Yeah, it's so unfair. He didn't do anything, but he got into trouble. He was reported and wrongly accused of beating someone. Haozi is really mean. We should have less contact with him, otherwise you never know what you did and he might hold a grudge against you."

"It's possible that if his wife hadn't exposed it, we wouldn't have known he was such a person."

"He didn't seem to have a good character before he got married, so he could only look at Wang Ba, the daughter of the old Wang family, and it wouldn't be difficult to get a few people to attack the Yue family."

"What a piece of shit, they are my father-in-law's family. Most people don't have hatred or resentment, but the Wang family has split up into several households, but he didn't let any man go. It turns out that they all beat him before, so he didn't let any of them go. He is so cruel and has a black heart."

The villagers were all there, expressing their opinions one by one, and there was constant discussion.

Ye Yaodong was completely confused by what he heard. Everyone described the incident with such detail that it seemed as if it were real.

He glanced at the younger brothers beside him, and they all looked at him in dumbfounded expression.

Wasn't it them who beat him? How did it become a rat? They even made it sound like a detective who had solved a big case.

No wonder the rumor changed as it spread. People's ability to make associations is really strong.

The village is now abuzz with new gossip, and it is a bigger version that has been exaggerated with the help of imagination!
It’s simply the finale version of the drama of the year.

"That's what I said. They had such a big fight before the New Year and they both said they wanted a divorce, but it didn't happen. It turns out there's this handle. I heard he's been beating her every three days and every five days for the past two months. Maybe he's scared of her, so his wife can't stand it anymore and wants a divorce."

"These days, only the husbands have died, and there are very few divorces. Who can they find after the divorce? In my opinion, since we have already talked it out, we should just make do with it..."

"What's the point of living like this? If they continue, they'll probably be beaten to death. Even though both of them were wrong, they don't deserve to be beaten to death. It's better for them to live their own lives separately. They've already torn their relationships apart, so how can they live together anymore?"

"The children are still so young, we have to consider them anyway..."

"I've lost half my life. If I lose my whole life, how can I think about my children..."

When everyone had finished talking at the door, it was almost time for dinner, and the people in the village went back home one after another, except for the dozen or so families living near the beach, who were still standing at the door and talking.

"This is dog bites dog, and both of them are left with nothing good. God is watching what you do," Lin Xiuqing said bitterly.

"That is to say, this person must not do anything wrong, retribution will come sooner or later." said Zhou's sister-in-law.

She continued, "Fortunately, we stopped interacting with him a long time ago, and he has been recuperating since he broke his leg last year, so we didn't hire anyone to work for him afterwards."

Mrs. Ye also said, "Fortunately, I don't associate with them. Some people are bad on the surface, and some are bad at heart but pretend to be good on the surface. The latter are the scariest. If you're not careful, you never know when you'll be stabbed."

"That's right. Our Dong Ge is upright and has nothing to fear. These crooked ways have no effect on him."

"He deserves to be in trouble for not cherishing the chance to be friends with Brother Dong and even doing bad things behind his back."

"He should be unable to survive in this village..."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said, "I don't need to do anything, he has already become a rat crossing the street, so as a person, you should not do things that go against your conscience, and you should be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

He glanced at his younger brothers and said, "Remember this, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If you do something wrong, it will be exposed. You should act according to your conscience and not do anything that would go against your conscience. Friends are for life. You should be sincere in return of sincerity. You can tell whether it is sincere or not. You should work hard and I will not treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry, Dong Ge, we won't do such a treacherous thing!"

"That's right! A person like this can be drowned by a drop of spit."

"The nickname of street rat is absolutely correct!"

"Go ahead. You've watched the excitement. Once you've poked out all the water from the nylon bags on top and swept the floor, go to the warehouse and check if the dried fish have gotten damp. If so, take them out and dry them in the sun. Don't just sit there with your legs crossed and watch."

"Okay, let's get to it. We'll do it right away."

"We'll get to work now."

"Work for a while, and then we'll take turns going home to eat when it's time for dinner."

They nodded, and then ran back to the workshop.

"Hey, it's already 10: after all the noise. We have to hurry home to cook. The kids are almost home from school."

"I've been busy all morning, and the clothes are only halfway done drying... I have to cook quickly..."

The neighbors around also dispersed in groups of three or four and returned to their homes.

Ye Yaodong and the others went straight into the house, and the farce came to an end for the time being.

Today's melon has caught me in the act, but at least the answer to the mystery has been revealed.

The previous letter of complaint had always been on his mind. He had never known who did it and had been suspecting one person after another. But now that he knew the answer, he could just stay away from them.

With so many people watching this matter, it will surely spread throughout the village in no time. From now on, I will really become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone.

He doesn't need to do anything, nothing at all. He is just the victim. All public opinion is on his side, which makes his presence felt again.

After entering the house, Lin Xiuqing and the old lady took turns scolding the man harshly.

Ye Yaodong sat there drinking tea and listening to them cursing.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"Aren't you guys here to help scold me?"

"How can it be the same? How can my scolding be the same as your scolding? They clearly tricked you. They are so mean."

Two years have passed. Although I was very angry and resentful when I just found out, after watching the farce from beginning to end and seeing his miserable condition, I don't think there is anything to blame. He has reaped the consequences of his own actions.

The village is his roots. If his reputation is ruined, no one will like him in the future and his life will not be easy. It is useless to curse here angrily now.

"Yeah, it's pretty bad. Fortunately, we distanced ourselves from each other in advance. I can only say that people with similar interests are the same kind of people. Don't worry about it. I guess there will be more trouble next time."

"What's the fuss? Now that it's come to this, you should get a divorce right away, right?"

"Everyone is guessing, it was Haozi who had his father-in-law and brother-in-law beaten up last year? Will there be a commotion this time? Will the Wang family let it go? And his wife was beaten half to death before she returned to her parents' home, so she will definitely want to get back at them. There will be more commotion next time."

"That's true... They are unreasonable people to begin with. They won't let it go even if their married daughter was beaten and carried back to her parents' home. What's more, they even hired someone to beat them up." When Lin Xiuqing said this, she looked him up and down with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It wasn't me who did it. The public has sharp eyes."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Xueliang, your head is really good at arguing."

"It's all very well to argue, dog bites dog, but it has nothing to do with me. I didn't say anything and I didn't do anything."

"Okay, I'll go cook too."

"This bustle at the door is rare today. My mother didn't see it. Usually, wherever there is a bustle, she is there."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "That's because the fight happened in front of our house. Things on the beach don't spread to the village that quickly, and people in the village who came to watch the fun are reluctant to leave. If the fight happened in the village, it would spread quickly."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong responded casually while leaning against the wall with his feet crossed.

The old lady also said, "Don't let them pass by our door next time."

He couldn't help laughing out loud, "My ancestors, our house is not on the main road, they can't reach our door no matter how they walk, unless they come here on purpose."

"Anyway, don't let them get to our doorstep. It's bad luck."

"Hehehe~"

After saying this, the old lady walked towards the door again. There was a half-killed jumping fish at the door. If she killed a little more, she would have enough to cook a bowl of fish at noon.

"Your stones are still at the door. Do you want them?"

"Yes, just leave it there first. It won't disappear anyway. Let it get out of the sun to get rid of the moldy smell first."

"That's true."

Ye Yaodong crossed his legs and watched the two women busying around inside and outside the house. Suddenly, he felt like something was missing in the house.

"Hey~Where's my daughter?"

"Oh! It's broken! It's still on the beach!"

Lin Xiuqing was washing rice. Upon hearing this, she immediately put down the ladle, wiped her hands on her apron and was about to walk out.

Ye Yaodong quickly followed her, "Ah, still on the beach?"

"Just now I saw so many people anxious at the door, so I came back first and asked a few dogs to walk slowly with them. It's been a long time, why haven't I seen them come back?"

The beach was right outside their home, and the couple didn't worry too much. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw two children, surrounded by five dogs, playing on the beach.

None of the children could walk on the beach. How could they go home obediently without an adult to carry them home?
I was having a great time playing on the beach, and I was so happy.

When adults are around, they have to behave themselves and not act mischievously.

Lin Xiuqing walked out and took a look. Seeing the two were still playing there, she went back home to cook and only asked Ye Yaodong to bring the two back.

Before Ye Yaodong even got close, he had already widened his eyes when he saw it from afar.

Two girls were playing in the water in front of a big puddle. Five dogs were standing in a circle around the puddle. The two girls took turns walking into the puddle, stepping hard on the water, splashing their own and the dogs' faces, and then laughed out loud.

"Don't move!"

The dogs' faces were splashed with water and their fur immediately trembled. They were about to retreat, but Ye Xiaoxi immediately shouted to stop them. The dogs had no choice but to continue standing on the edge of the puddle and let them step on the water.

"Be good~ Don't be naughty~"

After she touched the dog's head, she walked to the middle of the puddle and stepped hard on it.

"Hahahaha, this is fun~ Sister, come here~"

"Ye Xiaoxi!"

"Ah! I didn't, it wasn't me...it was the dog..."

She was so scared that her eyes widened, she turned her head sharply, then quickly climbed out of the puddle and hugged the dog's head.
