Ye Chenghu couldn't wait any longer. "I'll go out on my bicycle and see where they are. If I didn't kill them last night, I'll make sure they're dead today."
After saying that, he ran back into the house to get his bicycle.
Ye Chengyang followed closely behind, saying, "I want to go too, I'll go with you."
Ye Xiaoxi ran after her, "I want to go too..."
Lin Xiuqing called out, "Is there enough room to sit down...?"
"There's room, of course there's room. My second brother and I will sit in the back."
As soon as Ye Chenghu pushed out his bicycle, the two of them sat in the back seats, one after the other.
"Either don't ride your bike, or you'll fall on this awful road."
Ye Chenghu climbed up, slid his feet on the pedals a couple of times, and then sat down. After the front of the vehicle tilted a couple of times, it became stable once it started moving.
"It's okay, I won't fall. My feet can touch the ground. If I do fall, I'll get down and hold on."
Lin Xiuqing saw Ye Chenghu carrying two people and thought they were about to fall off together. "One dares to ride, and two dare to sit on."
"It's okay, we'll fall together if we have to, we'll share the burden."
"Come back for dinner soon."
"know."
Ye Yaodong waited until they left before saying, "Luckily we caught them yesterday. I didn't expect they would take advantage of the situation just because I was away from home for a day."
"It's good that they caught them, so we don't have to worry about them all the time. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days straight."
"I was thinking of dealing with them after the New Year, but I didn't expect they wouldn't even get to celebrate the New Year."
Lin Xiuqing frowned. "The village committee probably put on this parade because tomorrow is the New Year, and they don't want anyone to die. They're just trying to intimidate the other villages. As for whether they can survive it, that's up to fate."
"They dared to steal from our door and even poison us; their deaths are meaningless."
"I didn't tell them just now, but two dogs died. If the three of them find out, they'll be furious, and your daughter will probably be crying."
"Two dogs died too?"
Lin Xiuqing then recounted the small details she hadn't mentioned earlier, "...There are so many dogs being bred in the last two years that I can't recognize them anymore. Anyway, I just have Dad take them to the mountain and bury them at night."
"We don't know now, but we'll find out later."
"You know it, you know it. At least give us a break. Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat first? The food is already cooked over there. I thought you should be back soon, so I came here to wait. Your sister-in-law is watching over things over there."
"Did your parents go to see the excitement too?"
"Yes, most of the village followed to watch the excitement. They'll probably be back soon; it's lunchtime, so they'll have to go home for dinner."
As they were talking, they heard a commotion in the distance, and people gradually returned.
Lin Xiuqing saw a familiar neighbor and greeted her, asking, "How many villages have you visited? Are you all back? Are you going to visit more villages this afternoon?"
"They said they would, that they would swim until tomorrow, New Year's Eve, but they'll drag them off to continue at 2 pm."
"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, everyone is busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, will anyone have time?"
"Oh dear, we women can handle this. The men can continue to drag them through the streets. It won't cause any problems. The Party Secretary said that when we reach Lotus Village tomorrow morning, we'll return the three of them to their village. Whether they live or die is up to fate."
A woman nearby chimed in, "They got off easy; at least they have a chance to live. If they had been beaten to death last night, everyone would have said they deserved it."
"Enough said, we need to hurry home and cook. We've been so busy watching the excitement that we haven't even cooked a meal yet."
Ye Yaodong also said, "Now that we're all back, let's lock the door and go eat at the new house."
"Okay, the three of them made a wasted trip. They came back as soon as they went out on their bikes."
"I guess they rode straight to the new house. Don't worry about them. They'll come back when it's time to eat."
When the couple headed to their new house, everyone had already sat down at the table to eat, and they were just waiting for them.
"Dongzi's return is just in time. Let's eat first and talk while we eat."
At the dinner table, they continued to talk about the recent street parade and the three men's behavior at night.
Ye Yaodong already knew everything, but that didn't stop them from telling the story again.
Although there was some lingering fear, the person had already been caught, and the village committee had made a decision, so let's do as the village committee says for now and see how things turn out.
If they die directly, there's no need for further trouble. If they don't die, he won't be leaving anytime soon anyway, so he has to give them a taste of their own medicine, either kill them or lock them up until they die before he can go to Zhou City in peace. Otherwise, leaving them nearby would just be a menace.
When the time came in the afternoon, the villagers spontaneously dragged the three men through the streets to continue their parade. Adults and children alike followed to watch the spectacle, since there was nothing to do since it was almost the New Year and everyone was quite idle.
However, fewer people come to watch the festivities on New Year's Eve. Every household has to start preparing the New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning, as well as food for the next few days and supplies for entertaining guests, so there's no time to go and watch the festivities.
Ye Yaodong, however, mingled with the crowd and followed them.
The three men were already half-dead from the beating. Yesterday, they were tormented all day, with villagers taking turns carrying and dragging them along. Today, they were being pushed on a cart. They looked like they were about to die, barely breathing.
By the end of the morning, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of their chests, no one would have thought the three of them were dead.
Before they could even drag the people down and return them, their respective families had already swarmed around them, weeping.
"What a tragedy, my son..."
"My dear Qiang, my precious grandson, these people are inhuman! Look at how they've tortured you!"
"Quickly, quickly, take him home and get a doctor right away..."
"You people are not human..."
"You're the one who's not human! Like father, like son! Who did they follow? What kind of good people could raise a poisoner like that..."
They were arguing with several other families in their village, who was afraid of whom?
They weren't afraid of anything on other people's turf. Everyone in the surrounding area knew that Lin Jianqiang and his two companions had gone to their village to poison and steal. The fact that they weren't killed was already a relief, considering it was the Lunar New Year.
Moreover, all the able-bodied men in their village are here now. Lotus Village is just a small village with a few dozen households. Their village is worth several of those people.
Someone tried to smooth things over, telling them to call a doctor immediately and put everything else aside for later. That calmed things down; otherwise, there probably would have been another fight.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened and that a fight was unlikely, Ye Yaodong went back first.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve; celebrating the New Year is the most important thing.
Whether the three of them will survive is still a question. We'll keep an eye on it in a few days. Anyway, it's such a big deal, the news has spread everywhere, and we'll know the results as soon as they're available.
The family's New Year's Eve dinner is mostly ready, but lunch wasn't served. Everyone has been sneaking into the kitchen to eat a little something since they woke up in the morning, so they're not hungry by noon and don't need to eat lunch.
By the time the New Year's Eve dinner was all prepared, it was already around three or four in the afternoon. The whole family sat down together to eat the reunion dinner.
This year marks the largest increase in their family's population, with two new great-grandchildren. The smiles on Mr. and Mrs. Ye's faces were incredibly radiant.
With a ruddy complexion, Mr. Ye raised his glass, "Come on, let's all have a toast to celebrate our family's prosperity growing year after year!"
Ye Chenghu showed off a bit, "May you have prosperity, wealth, and good fortune!"
Ye Xiaoxi raised her cup and shouted, "Woof woof! May the whole family prosper!"
"Ha ha……"
The dogs couldn't go in through the door, but when they heard the barking, they started barking too!
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Ye Chenghe's son looked at everyone laughing in bewilderment, and then belatedly joined in the laughter.
Everyone had already finished laughing, but seeing his expression made them laugh again.
The whole house was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
Old Mr. Ye was overjoyed. It was like a dream come true. It was the retirement life he had long dreamed of: a house full of children and grandchildren, no worries about food or clothing, a big house, and a car.
Ye Yaodong felt the same way as his father; the life and scenes of his dreams overlapped with the fantasies in his mind at this moment.
He has a big house, a luxury car, money in his pocket, family, elderly parents still alive, healthy parents, and lively children. The only regret is that he still has to keep working and hasn't reached retirement age yet.
Ye Xiaoxi is the youngest of the grandchildren and also the most restless. She only eats a few bites before saying she's full and immediately gets off the table.
However, instead of immediately running out to play, he turned on the TV and played with his two little nephews. But that's not the point. The point is that he hadn't received his New Year's money yet, so he naturally couldn't leave the adults' sight.
What if everyone else has received their New Year's money and she goes out to play, and they forget about her?
Now that she's so old, she feels ashamed to ask for it herself and can't bring herself to do it. She can only wait for the adults to give it to her.
After a long wait until everyone had finished eating, Ye's mother smiled and held a stack of red envelopes in her hands.
"Don't sit at home and wait, come and get one, one for each of you, then go out and play."
Wow, lucky money!
"You two are already married, so there's no need for you to get one this year. You only got married after the Lunar New Year last year, and we could barely manage to give you one during the holiday. Don't even think about it this year," Mother Ye joked with a smile.
“It’s okay, my son having it is the same as me having it.”
"That's right, what's mine is what's mine."
Ye Chengjiang smiled and held his red envelope, "So it's still not possible to get married. Look, I even have a red envelope."
Sister-in-law Ye reached out and snatched it away.
Ye Chengjiang stared blankly at his empty hands.
"You can't find a partner, and you're actually proud of it? You have the nerve to say that? You're in your twenties, and you're still acting like a kid, receiving New Year's money? You should be giving money to your grandparents."
"Bullshit, they still owe me 200 yuan, saying they have no money for the New Year!" Ye Chenghu bluntly exposed the truth.
"You've really made something of yourself, still needing to borrow 200 yuan from Chenghu?"
"Ah, right, I don't have money for the New Year, so I don't dare to date. There's a reason I'm single, you know? I'll find a wife when I have money."
Ye Chengjiang spoke with righteous indignation.
His mother was about to be driven mad by him again. "You still have reasons? What reasons do you have? You have a bellyful of excuses."
"The truth is, I'm still heavily in debt and don't have much money in my pocket. How can I dare to date someone? That costs money."
Mother Ye tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh dear, it's the New Year, let's not talk about this now. We just finished eating, so let's keep it festive and give him a red envelope. Unmarried people are all like children to me, and they all get red envelopes."
After saying that, he took the red envelope from Ye Ersao's hand and gave it to Ye Chengjiang.
Ye Chengjiang was smug again.
Sister-in-law Ye glared at him. "It's just that the village has been in turmoil these past few days, so we haven't had time to deal with you. Otherwise, would you be living such a good life? In another two months, Chenghe's son will be running around..."
"It's alright, they can't run away or get lost. There are so many eyes watching at home."
During the New Year, she had to tell herself not to get angry. Ye Ersao took a few deep breaths, turned her head away to avoid seeing him, otherwise she would listen to him again.
Ye Xiaoxi leaned closer and asked, "Brother Jiang, why don't you tell your second aunt that you have a boyfriend?"
"You're not allowed to talk nonsense. When did I talk to them? I only wrote two replies to them."
"Huh? You didn't confess? You're so slow! Cousin Amin has already confirmed his relationship with the short-haired girl, and they've started dating."
"You listen to his bragging. He only wrote two letters and he thinks he can confirm a relationship with someone? I'll cut off my head and give it to you as a stool."
"Then you can blow it too, why don't you? If you blow it, your second aunt won't nag you anymore, right?"
Ye Chengjiang was stunned for a moment, then realized he had been foolish and slapped his forehead.
"Yeah, you're right. I'll just tell her I have a boyfriend, okay? I've been hanging out with Ye Chenghe for so long that my brain's become as stubborn as his. There's always a way around things. I'll just lie to her for now, won't I?"
"None of you are smart."
Ye Chenghai walked over with a smile, "You've received your New Year's money, you're rich now, come on, let's start."
"Here, this is just the right amount of capital."
The older kids immediately grabbed their cards and headed to the living room to start a game.
Having many children in the family has its advantages; you don't need to invite outsiders to organize gatherings, as family members can do it all.
Ye Xiaoxi received a round of red envelopes, feeling very happy. She hid them in her room before finally going out to play.
They heard news of Lin Jianqiang and the other two again when they were in their third year of junior high school.
On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, they heard that someone had died, Lin Jianqiang. It was said that he was too badly injured and had to be sent to a hospital in the province. His family had no money, and after discussing it back and forth, before they could reach a decision, he was gone.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, another person was injured. I heard that his foot was bitten by a dog and the bone was broken. He didn't receive timely treatment and was tormented to the point of near death. He was eventually rescued, but his leg was also crippled.
Only one person remained, lying half-dead and receiving treatment; they stopped paying attention to his condition after that.
With the main person who wanted to die now dead, Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing felt much more at ease.
"There's one left, but it's half-dead anyway, so we don't need to worry about it. We'll be leaving in a few days."
"Well, as long as Lin Jianqiang, the main person, is gone, that's fine."
Mother Ye pouted, "Lin Jianqiang's family is deliberately dragging their feet, unwilling to pay for treatment. Only his parents insist on taking him to the provincial capital for treatment; how could the rest of the family bear to spend money on him?"
"Since there's no consensus, we can only drag it out until the person dies, which is good because we won't need to treat them anymore," Ye Yaodong mocked.
"Isn't that right? Anyway, there's no use in saving him. He's a scoundrel. Saving him would only bring more trouble to the family. It would be better if he died, then the family would be at peace."
Mr. Ye looked at Mrs. Ye and asked, "When is the burial? Your relative is dead, so everything is over. You have to go, right?"
"Go to hell! I'll just give them a red envelope as a favor. I'm not going. It'll just make me uncomfortable to see them. What's the point?"
"Too."
The old lady said, "The New Year isn't over yet, so don't attend funerals. It's bad luck. Just repay the favors you owe."
"Correct."
Ye's father asked Ye Yaodong, "When do you plan to leave for Zhou City?"
"Let's check the weather in a couple of days. Aren't you going?"
"Should I go? It doesn't seem like I'm involved."
"up to you."
Mr. Ye was a little reluctant to leave his big house, but now that everyone had left, he hesitated.
Going to Zhoushan would at least be more like going to a village, which would be more lively. Plus, it would be nice to walk around the factory every day and hear people calling him "General Manager Ye," and his great-grandson would be there too...
My heart's balance has tipped in favor of Zhou City again.
P.S.: I'll add another one tomorrow during the day.
