He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

He picked up the two pheasants that had been smashed on the deck and handed them to Zhang Xiuli.

"Mom, take these two pheasants back and figure out how to cook them."

He Laifu said happily, "What a fat pheasant! This one must weigh four or five pounds. Bayi, you're really amazing! You can fish at sea and hunt in Shanghai. I admire you so much, I don't even need to lift the boat!"

"I think one can be used to make roast chicken, and the other to make braised chicken; both would be great dishes to accompany drinks."

"I got to have a few drinks at noon today too."

He Zhenzhen immediately raised a small hand.

"Alright, alright, I'll join Bayi and have a few drinks with you guys."

Zhang Xiuli immediately glared at her.

"You brat, what are you drinking? What if you get addicted? Your babies won't be normal."

He Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue.

"Oh my god, Mom, you're really good at scolding people. Fine, fine, I won't drink anymore, okay? I'll just watch you guys drink. Ba Yi, you should go to sleep, you've got dark circles under your eyes."

"Honestly, instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, they go hunting pheasants."

"Luckily we went hunting pheasants, otherwise Chen Meifeng and her gang would have successfully framed us."

Niu Bayi smiled and nodded, then stretched.

"Okay, I'm going back to sleep. You guys go home too, get some rest, and you'll be more energetic for the day."

So they all went back to their own homes and went about their own business.

Niu Bayi also crawled into the cabin and continued to sleep soundly.

As for why Niu Bayi, who was in the cabin, suddenly disappeared and went to hunt pheasants in the jungle, we have to ask him about that magical space.

He knew he had fallen into a trap when he saw Chen Meifeng running out shouting.

But we're not worried at all.

The vast ocean can make him invisible.

He slipped into the open sea and left the cabin without anyone noticing.

Let them make a scene!

The bigger the commotion, the better.

The bigger it gets, the more it proves itself wrong!

He calmly ran into the jungle, relying on the heightened reflexes and increased strength from drinking the coconut water from his spatial dimension, and picked up a few small stones, just like he had done before when smashing fish and sparrows—

He hit two pheasants that were out foraging at dawn, then went back, leisurely slapping himself in the face.

Niu Bayi lay down and fell fast asleep, but at Niu Dazhuang's house, a commotion broke out.

Ma Chunhua took Chen Meifeng home.

As soon as the door closed, he started shouting and yelling.

"Niu Dazhuang, you damned Niu Dazhuang! How could you have given birth to such a cunning, despicable, and shameless son? You've brought shame upon our whole family in front of the entire village!"

"Do you know what they said to me? They even tried to drive me and my daughter out of the village!"

Chen Meifeng looked dazed, found a chair, and plopped down.

Tears were still streaming down her face.

"I'm doomed! I'm doomed! If this succeeds, all will be well, but if it fails, what will I become? I'll become a slut, and they'll call me a whore."

"Mom, how am I supposed to live? How am I supposed to survive?"

"It's all your fault and my uncle's fault for forcing me to do this kind of thing. I don't want to live anymore... I don't want to live anymore!"

She kicked her feet so hard that her shoes flew far away, and cried so hard that bubbles were coming out of her nose.

Niu Dazhuang shouted in frustration, "What's all the fuss about? Who told Niu Bayi to be so cunning? When did he sneak out of the cabin? How come nobody saw him?"

"And you even went and caught two pheasants?"

"This is infuriating!"

"That bastard, no matter what I do, I can't kill him. It's all your fault!"

He glared fiercely at Ma Chunhua.

"It was your brother, who couldn't keep his mouth shut. What terrible idea did he come up with? First, we were cursed by the whole town, then by the whole village. He's so good at stirring up trouble, why isn't he dead yet!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chunhua became furious and started yelling.

"My brother was only trying to get revenge for you, and you're cursing at him? I'll scratch you to death! Scratch you to death!"

She lunged forward, raising her sharp fingernails and scratching at Niu Dazhuang repeatedly.

This was a way of venting all her anger on Niu Dazhuang's face.

Caught off guard, Niu Dazhuang had several bloody strips of flesh scraped off his face.

He was in so much pain that his whole body was convulsing, and his face was covered in blood.

He ran away quickly before Niu Bayi beat him up.

Now, his wife has torn his face to shreds, almost ruining it.

Snapped!

Niu Dazhuang slapped her hard across the face!

Immediately, Ma Chunhua collapsed to the ground.

She covered her face, screaming in agony, "Your son hit me, and you hit me too! I can't live anymore... I can't live anymore!"

She imitated Chen Meifeng, kicking her legs hard and kicking her shoes off.

Niu Dazhuang shouted angrily, "Don't even think about dying! Do you really not want to live? Now you need to think about how to avoid getting arrested, given Niu Aiguo's nature—"

"I'll definitely rush to the police station to report it!"

"We'll get arrested!"

"This arrest means the whole family goes to jail! A total wipeout!!"

Upon hearing Niu Dazhuang's words, Ma Chunhua and Chen Meifeng were stunned and collapsed to the ground, too afraid to move.

Chen Meifeng sobbed.

"That's right. If I report this to the police, they'll say... say I framed Niu Bayi. I... I'll be like my brother, arrested and thrown in jail. I don't want to go to jail!"

"Mom! Dad! What do we do?"

Ma Chunhua was so frightened she almost cried.

"I don't want to go to jail either."

Niu Dazhuang said fiercely, "Do you think I want this? We need to get out of here quickly and wait until things calm down before we talk about anything else."

Ma Chunhua jumped up in a flash and quickly packed her things.

"Yes, yes, hurry back to my parents' house, go back to my parents' house to avoid trouble! I don't want to go to jail."

Niu Dazhuang said irritably, "You still want to go back to your parents' home? What's the difference between going back to your parents' home and staying here? You'll still get arrested. Do you think the police station will come to your parents' home if they can't find someone here?"

"You stupid idiot!"

Ma Chunhua was stunned and her hands stopped moving.

She turned her head abruptly and asked desperately, "What do we do now?"

Niu Dazhuang thought for a moment, glanced at Chen Meifeng, and then looked at Ma Chunhua.

"You didn't mention it the other day, but there's a guy in the county town who's taken a fancy to Meifeng. He seems to have some influence in the county town."

Ma Chunhua nodded immediately.

"That's right. A friend from my county introduced him to me. She said he has some kind of status in the underworld, like a big gangster, and he's quite rich, but he's a bit old, over thirty, and his family background isn't good."

"So, I don't really want my daughter to marry him. Meifeng deserves better; she's so beautiful."

Niu Dazhuang said impatiently, "What's there to be picky about now? He has a certain status in the underworld, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve. We have to ask him for protection, or at least provide us with a place to stay."

"Even if the police come looking for us, they might be able to stop them."

Upon hearing this, Ma Chunhua's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh.

"Yeah, that's a big thug. He might even help us beat Niu Ba Yi to a pulp, kill him!"

Chen Meifeng shrank back, somewhat frightened.

"What a scoundrel! What if he hits me or treats me badly? He's so much older than me, isn't this like an old cow eating young grass?"

Niu Dazhuang immediately comforted him.

"Meifeng, don't worry. You're so pretty, who would have the heart to hit you except for that heartless Niu Bayi? Now your mother and I can only rely on you. Go to the county town and settle down, find someone to protect us."

"Being older doesn't matter; it makes them more considerate!"

Ma Chunhua nodded repeatedly.

After being persuaded by the two, Chen Meifeng reluctantly agreed.
