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

Upon hearing this, the four brothers were stunned. Unable to stand, they collapsed to the ground, back to back.

Cao Gui quickly distanced himself from the matter.

"This has nothing to do with me. I... I didn't want to do this either. It was Cao Rong and Cao Hua who instigated it, wanting to take a gun to Niu Bayi and rob all his money!"

"I...I was an accomplice, my crime certainly wasn't that serious!"

Cao Hua, with a sudden burst of strength, rolled over and crawled on the ground like a dog toward Niu Bayi.

He crawled along, pleading as he went.

"Bayi, Bayi! Please, spare us! We're all cousins, at least half-bloods. Besides, your grandmother only has four grandsons. If we get such a heavy sentence—"

"She's been sitting like this for ten or more years, how can she possibly endure it? Please spare everyone."

"I promise! I swear! I'll never do it again."

Cao Hua's hands were still tied, together with the other three people.

Therefore, no matter how hard he tried to climb towards Niu Ba Yi, he couldn't get very far.

It, however, caused the other three brothers to stumble and fall.

Cao Rong was the most ruthless of the four, but now he has completely broken down.

He forcefully raised his bound hands and slapped himself hard across the face, making a loud slapping sound.

"Bayi, I...I swear, I'll never dare to hurt you again. My parents treat Grandma badly, I...I'll go back and persuade them to be filial to Grandma from now on!"

"They're all cousins!"

"If this gets us a sentence of over ten years, our lives are ruined. Please, have mercy!"

The four brothers kept begging and swearing various curses, saying they were willing to serve Niu Bayi like slaves.

Niu Bayi felt no sympathy whatsoever; in fact, he found it somewhat amusing.

However, the thought of these four guys being sentenced to more than ten years in prison might be unbearable for Grandma.

He pulled the log aside and asked if the situation was really that serious.

Pan Rizhi nodded seriously.

"That's right, this year is still a crackdown, and everything will be severely punished. This was just an attempted robbery. If they had succeeded, even if you weren't hurt, you'd probably get the death penalty or life imprisonment!"

"but……"

He lowered his voice as he said this.

"The law is not without human sentiment, and you are relatives. If you want a lighter sentence, it's not impossible. But no matter what, given their situation, they will be locked up for at least two or three years."

Niu Bayi thought for a moment, then immediately came up with an idea, and lowered his voice to say it.

After listening, Pan Rizhi patted him on the shoulder.

"Fine, do whatever you want. Do as you say. Aiguo treats you like a brother, and so do I, as long as we don't cross the legal line."

"I will definitely help if I can!"

Then, Pan Rizhi ordered his men to lock up the four brothers.

It is absolutely impossible for them to release it.

He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment!

Niu Bayi went to Xiaozhai Village again.

We arrived at my maternal grandmother's house.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard two extremely sharp and hateful voices coming from inside!

It was Deng Ju and Qiu Li.

Deng Ju said sarcastically, "You old hag, don't be so smug. Your good days are numbered. Don't expect that brat Niu Bayi to keep backing you up."

"He's probably finished now, there's no way he'll recover!"

"Dare to go against me? I guarantee that even if he doesn't die, he'll be crawling like a dog wherever he goes. He won't even be able to crawl here!"

Qiu Li also made sarcastic remarks.

"Yes, why are you still making pickled vegetables for your grandson? Don't make them anymore, or you'll never see him again."

yard.

Grandma Cao is making pickled vegetables from the large leafy greens she just picked.

When Niu Bayi arrives, let him take it back and make braised pork with pickled vegetables.

This braised pork with pickled vegetables is incredibly fragrant and goes perfectly with rice.

Making pickled vegetables is also one of Grandma Cao's specialties.

What she makes is especially delicious.

She was working diligently when she heard her two daughters-in-law talking like that, their words carrying a hint of murderous intent, and she immediately felt a little flustered.

The large bunch of leafy vegetables he was holding fell to the ground with a thud.

She asked in a panic, "What...what's going on here?"

Deng Ju was beaming with pride.

"That little bastard beat us up so badly. He didn't think things through when he hit us. I have two sons, and Ali has two sons too, that's four sons between the two families!"

"Will they let Niu Bayi go?"

Qiu Li was even more pleased.

"That's right, they're so clever. They sent someone to Jinlong Village to tell Niu Bayi that you broke your leg. Niu Bayi will definitely come over soon, and then our four sons—"

"Stop him on the way and beat him half to death!"

"Force him to take out all his money as compensation!"

"That damned little bastard Niu Bayi, he can beat us, but can he fight our four sons?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Cao trembled with panic and quickly turned her head away.

"Hongshan! Honghe! Is...is it really true?"

Cao Hongshan and Cao Honghe were also sitting on one side.

I didn't go to work today; I stayed here.

why?

We're just waiting for Cao Rong and the others to bring us good news!

They said they had knocked Niu Bayi down, leaving him with broken legs, and sent him back to Jinlong Village.

They even took his money.

Everyone is waiting to split the money equally.

Cao Hongshan said indifferently, "Mom, don't worry about this. Anyway, that brat Niu Bayi deserves to die. My son can't stand by and watch, so naturally he has to stand up for his parents."

Cao Honghe said, "That's right. When Niu Bayi was beating people, why didn't he think that our sons were much stronger than him? Any one of them could take him down, let alone four of them together."

"Haha, now that Niu Bayi's legs are probably broken, all the money he hid, no matter where he hid it, has been caught by our four sons. It must be at least ten or twenty thousand, right?"

Deng Ju laughed loudly, her laughter resembling that of an old witch.

"Not only that, I found out he really bought a big fishing boat, so he must have a lot of money on him, maybe tens of thousands. Once we get our hands on it all, we'll be rich."

"I'll never have to work again, hahaha."

Grandma Cao hurriedly walked outside, her steps hurried and unsteady.

Deng Ju and Qiu Li immediately stopped her and blocked her way.

"You old hag, where do you think you're going?"

Grandma Cao's eyes were red.

With a sob in her voice, she said, "This can't be done! This can't be done! What did Bayi do wrong? You're all unfilial to me. What's wrong with Bayi standing up for me? Why did you let Ahua and the others beat people up?"

"They're all brothers, I... I have to stop them right away!"

"Don't stop me! Don't stop me!"

She still wanted to rush outwards.

Deng Ju suddenly reached out and shoved her shoulder.

The push caused Granny Cao to stumble and fall backward, almost landing hard on her bottom.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

high speed!

In an instant, it darted behind Granny Cao.

He reached out his hands and gently supported her.

That's how Grandma Cao managed to avoid falling to the ground.

The four men were stunned. They exclaimed in unison, "Niu Bayi, how come you're completely unharmed?!"
