Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 12125

The gist of the argument was to persuade him to swallow his pride and go to Changping Village to kneel down and kowtow to Yang Yongjin and the others to borrow money.

If you get kicked out, go to the Wang family in town to find Xiu Xiu. If once doesn't work, try twice, and if twice doesn't work, try three times...

He claimed to be Yongxiao's biological father and caused trouble every day, guarding the Wang family's door and refusing to leave. As long as the Wang family cared about their reputation and didn't want to be the butt of a spectacle, the Wang family would have to pay him money.

Whether it's the second wife's family or the Wang family, as long as they pay, it's fine!

"Okay, okay, I'll go out and get the money from them tomorrow. Just stop yelling and let me get some peace and quiet!"

Li Wei's irritated voice finally came from inside the room, but his attitude had completely given in.

The Li couple inside finally quieted down, and the house fell into a brief silence. However, the three people guarding outside were trembling with anger, especially Yang Yongjin, who was now on the verge of exploding with rage.

He never expected that this greedy family would not only set their sights on his own family, but also treat their in-laws in town as their future money bag. It was simply outrageous and unforgivable!

Suddenly there was a noise inside the house. Li Wei said, "My stomach hurts. I'm going to the outhouse in the backyard. You guys sleep!"

After he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound, followed by the opening of the doors to the side room and the main room, and footsteps coming from the backyard.

The three people who were crouching in the backyard suddenly became incredibly excited, crouching down and holding their breath.

They saw Li Wei run out in his pajamas and head towards the makeshift outhouse in the backyard. The three of them exchanged a glance, crouched down, and quietly followed him.

Just as Li Wei was about to step into the latrine, Yang Yongqing suddenly moved, jumping up from behind and putting the snakeskin bag over Li Wei's head.

Yang Yongzhi rushed over and covered Li Wei's head with both hands to prevent him from making a sound.

Yang Yongjin also rushed over, grabbed Li Wei's legs, and the three of them together pressed the whimpering Li Wei to the ground, then proceeded to punch and kick him.

At first, Li Wei struggled inside the snakeskin bag, making whimpering noises, trying to attract the attention of his parents inside the house.

However, because Yang Yongzhi covered his mouth very tightly, his voice could not reach the side room at all. In addition, his mother's occasional coughing completely covered up the not-so-obvious strange noises in the backyard.

The three of them worked together until Li Wei was completely still before they let go.

"He wasn't killed, was he?" Yang Yongzhi asked.

“It doesn’t have to be that bad. He deserved to die,” Yang Yongqing said.

Yang Yongjin shook the bag open. Li Wei was still breathing, but he had already fainted. His face was bruised and swollen, looking like a pig's head.

"What's next?"

"As planned, throw it onto the main road in the front yard!"

"it is good!"

After dumping Li Wei on the main road in the front yard, the three immediately returned along the same route.

As they passed the village entrance, Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi exchanged a glance, and then the two brothers shouted in high-pitched voices, "Oh no! There's a thief!"

After shouting, the two brothers didn't care how many people they would alert. They took off running and covered half a mile in the blink of an eye.

He left the sounds of barking dogs and other noises from the village far behind him.

"Hey? Where's Fourth Brother?"

After running up the riverbank, Yang Yongjin suddenly realized that one of the three was missing: Yang Yongqing was gone.

"They're behind us!" Yang Yongzhi turned around and shouted, pointing to the figure that was following him about a hundred meters behind him.

"Fourth brother, why did you fall behind?" Yang Yongjin asked.

As they were talking, Yang Yongqing caught up, panting heavily. Although he had fallen behind, he was covered in sweat and his face was flushed.

"Brothers, look what I brought!"

Yang Yongqing threw the things he was carrying on his shoulder heavily to the ground, revealing a black, fluffy dog ​​tail at the bottom of the bag.

"Damn, fourth brother, you actually brought that big black dog over after all?"

"Hehe, this dog is fat and strong, we can make a big pot of meat from its skin!"

"You're no different from a dog thief!"

"Hey, we're already here, why not grab one? Anyway, the blame for this dog will fall on Li Wei in the end, so let's just consider it Li Wei's treat! We can't just waste two nights here for nothing!"

Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi disagreed with Yang Yongqing's "sophistry".

But they'd already brought the dog out; they couldn't just send it back, could they? Otherwise, the three of them would get caught red-handed.

"Alright then, take it with you, but don't do it again!"

"Alright, let's go, let's go. If we don't leave now, the people from Li Family Village might come after us."

"No, we left clues. I'm afraid they've all gone to Li Wei's yard by now."

Once you get there, you'll find Li Wei lying on the road with a bruised and swollen face, and then you'll see the other dogs that Li Wei hid in the yard.

At that time, no matter how Li Wei tries to explain himself, he will not be able to shake off the reputation of being a dog thief.

The dog thief is just the first step. Behind the dog thief is the identity of thieves from all around the village, because in recent years, before committing crimes, those thieves have always taken away the guard dogs of their target's house.

Li Wei's methods were all too familiar. Even if there were still suspicions, how many of these villagers would be so meticulous?
Moreover, people tend to be like sheep, easily swayed by rumors; Li Wei is in deep trouble this time.

The three of them, carrying the big black dog from the bag, rushed down the riverbank like a gust of wind and ran all the way back to Xiao Erfang along the country path.

That night, in the kitchen of the backyard of the small house, the three of them didn't stop for a moment. After bringing the big black dog back, Yang Yongqing immediately started to deal with it.

Yang Yongzhi ate two meat buns that Cao Bamei had heated up before heading back, because he had to go to the Taoist temple to work the next day.

Before leaving, Cao Bamei packed a few more meat buns for Yang Yongzhi to take with him. Tomorrow morning, when Zhao Liuer and her brother Daniu Niu wake up, she can heat up the meat buns and the three of them won't have to cook breakfast.

Yang Yongjin escorted Yang Yongzhi to the gate of the courtyard, gave him a few words of advice, and then watched him leave.

Back in the kitchen, there were only three people there: Yang Yongqing, Yang Yongjin, and Cao Bamei.

At this moment, the big black dog had already fallen onto the hook under the beam, its fur completely stripped off by Yang Yongqing, who was now disemboweling it with a swift motion of his knife.

"This dog is huge, it must weigh at least forty or fifty pounds just from the meat!" Yang Yongqing said, slicing open the dog's chest with his knife, steam rising from the wound.

Yang Yongjin looked the dog over and nodded in satisfaction. "Dog meat is delicious, but this was not done properly. You can't do it like this next time."

Yang Yongqing chuckled, "Anyway, it's all on Li Wei's head, so we'll just have to eat meat."

As for being cursed by the dog owner, tsk tsk, if cursing were effective, what would be the point of God?

Who can guarantee that every bite of food they eat in this world is earned honestly and fairly? There's a saying: "The timid starve, the bold feast; murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who build bridges and repair roads leave no trace."
Anyway, Yang Yongqing felt no guilt whatsoever and was completely at ease. "There looks like a lot of dog meat. How are we going to divide it up?" Cao Bamei, who was standing to the side, also found it interesting and asked.

Yang Yongjin said, "Is there even a question? It's definitely going to be chopped up and divided equally among our Yang family, the Sun family, and the Luo family!"

"Okay!" Cao Bamei nodded.

There's no need to send food separately to the second daughter and son-in-law; just invite them over to eat together, so the young couple doesn't have to cook for themselves.

"Should we send some to my eldest daughter's in-laws' house as well?" Cao Bamei asked again.

Cao Bamei felt guilty for not sharing the water with her eldest daughter, as she had given it to her second daughter.

Without hesitation, Yang Yongjin waved his hand and said, "No need to see me off. It's a bit of a long way, so there's no need to see me off. The Wang family isn't short of meat for them."

"Secondly, this came from Lijia Village. If we go and deliver it, we'll inevitably expose all of Li Wei's disgusting deeds. You're deliberately trying to make things difficult for your daughter!"

Cao Bamei immediately realized this and quickly shook her head: "No need to see me off, no need to see me off. I didn't think it through before. Luckily you reminded me."

Yang Yongqing, who was busy at work, also sneered: "It's right not to send it. We've been doing all this just to secretly protect Xiuxiu's peaceful life now!"

“Yes, yes, Yongqing is right. I, a woman, have been thinking the wrong way.”

One night passed.

The next day, after Yang Ruoqing got up, Luo Fengtang brought back the news of what had happened in Lijia Village the previous night.

It includes not only what the three Yang brothers did, but also what followed.

"...We had people among the villagers instigating the incident, and we found Li Wei's house and the dogs that Li Wei had drugged and knocked unconscious."

"The villagers of Li's family are now outraged. Under the leadership of the current village head, they have reported the matter to the authorities. The officials should have already taken Li Wei to the county government for questioning by now."

Yang Ruoqing stretched comfortably, a satisfied smile on her face.

"It feels so good to wake up to this wonderful news," she said.

"Once we get to the county jail, things will be much easier. From here on out, it's our turn to shine."

She smiled and said that this time, she would make Li Wei atone for the crimes he committed in Shanyuan, to the point that he would question the meaning of life.

Since he went to jail, the troubles with Xiuxiu and Xiao Erfang were eliminated.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Oh, and one more thing. This morning, my second brother and sister-in-law came over to deliver dog meat, saying it was to give the children a change of pace."

"Dog meat?" Yang Ruoqing was a little confused, but she quickly realized what was going on with the dog meat from Luo Fengtang's smiling eyes!
"My goodness, those three really know how to steal without leaving empty-handed!" she said.

"Let me guess, is it because the guy insisted on bringing a dog back?"

"Yes. That's what my second sister-in-law said. She said it was your little cousin's idea."

Yang Ruoqing smiled again, "He knows all these tricks of the trade. Of the three of them, his moral bottom line is the most flexible."

The other two were a bit... well, there were six or seven dogs lying on the ground. If Yang Ruoqing had gone there herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist dragging one back to reward herself.

After all, with ginger, star anise, and strong liquor, and after simmering for several hours, you'll have a bowl of delicious meat that even the gods can't resist!

"Dog meat is good, I'll go check out the dog meat." Yang Ruoqing quickly finished washing up and headed straight for the kitchen in the backyard.

This action left Luo Fengtang completely bewildered.

Fortunately, my second brother and sister-in-law had brought over dog meat earlier, and their expressions and words showed a hint of worry, fearing that Qing'er would be angry about this.

I never expected this... Hey, she's definitely my wife, she's got personality.

Okay, since my wife is interested in dog meat, that makes things easy!

In the kitchen in the backyard, Yang Ruoqing saw the fresh dog hind leg.

Tsk tsk, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have sent the best of the best to the Luo family!

That's sincere!
"Madam, how should we cook this dog meat?" Ronggu came over to ask for instructions.

To be honest, Rong Gu and the others are experienced in other dishes, especially those that are delicate and beautiful.

I don't have much experience with dog meat, so it's hard to know what to expect.

Yang Ruoqing said, "It's similar to the spicy braised rabbit last time, but the heat needs to be longer. You can only add more ginger and star anise, not less, and it needs to be stewed until it's very tender."

"Understood, Madam. Rest assured, we will handle it."

Seeing Rong Gu take the lackey to clean the well in the backyard, Yang Ruoqing nodded in satisfaction.

She soon arrived at the third room next door.

Liu and Da Sun were also there, talking to Sun.

Seeing the expressions of the women, especially Liu, whose face was flushed red.

"Qing'er, you've come at the right time. How are you planning to cook that dog meat?" As soon as Liu saw Yang Ruoqing arrive, the first thing she did was to discuss cooking methods with her.

Before Yang Ruoqing could respond, Madam Sun said, "Is there even a question? It definitely needs to be simmered with plenty of spices and a strong fire!"

Liu said, "Wouldn't that smell too good? It might attract jealousy and make others suspicious of us?"

Madam Sun said, "What's there to doubt? The aroma of that stewed meat is so strong that no one else can tell what kind of meat it is. Besides, we always eat it at home with the courtyard gate closed!"

Yang Ruoqing reminded Liu Shi: "Fourth Aunt, have you disposed of the dog meat from your fourth branch?"

Liu shook her head: "Eighth Sister sent it over this morning, but we haven't had time to process it yet. Your Fourth Uncle said to leave it there for now, and he'll come back from the Taoist temple early this afternoon to burn it. Kang Xiaozi and Jin Chuan Liangliang will also be back soon, so we can all eat together."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, then asked Da Sunshi and Sunshi, "Auntie, Mother, when are you planning to eat?"

Da Sun said, "We're also planning to eat tonight. We'll call Da Niu and Da Yun over so they can have a bite too."

Da Niu and Da Yun are Huang Mao's maternal parents and also in-laws of the Sun family. The two families have a good relationship and frequently visit each other in the village.

“Either is fine, but I suggest you don’t take the dog meat to the pond at the village entrance to clean it. Just do it by the well in the backyard,” Yang Ruoqing added.

The pond at the village entrance is a hub for news; if you take dog meat there to wash, it will definitely attract a lot of onlookers and curiosity.

If they keep making random comments and combine that with the fact that Li Wei stole the dog from Lijia Village last night, well, the Yang family will become the suspects.

Both Madam Sun and Madam Liu nodded repeatedly. Madam Liu patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Qing'er, we have all the tricks up our sleeves. We'll wash and eat secretly, hehe."

Yang Ruoqing then looked at Madam Sun. Madam Sun hadn't really participated in the conversation since they entered the room.
