Chapter 735 - 731: Wang Dali’s Tragedy (7th Update)
CHAPTER 735: CHAPTER 731: WANG DALI’S TRAGEDY (7TH UPDATE)
"Hmm!" Yu Liulang nodded and fell asleep holding Feng Xiaohua.
At midnight, when all was silent, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng sneaked out of their rooms.
Mu Shuangshuang took a kerosene lamp to lead the way. It was too dark tonight to see anything clearly.
She brought a lot of tools: a rope, a black cloth, and a wooden stick.
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t bring anything. It seemed like he was prepared to face Wang Dali barehanded.
Over there, Wang Dali had been waiting in the cotton field for a long time. Even the oil lamp was nearly burnt out, and he was getting itchier, scratching until his skin broke.
Wang Dali was getting more and more scared, but the person who drugged him at night still hadn’t come.
Just when Wang Dali thought he was beyond saving, he vaguely saw an oil lamp. When he got closer, it suddenly went out.
At this moment, a woman with her face covered stepped out from the shadows.
"You’re quite punctual. I thought you wouldn’t come," Mu Shuangshuang said with a yawn, nonchalantly.
"Auntie, how could I not come? My life is in your hands. Where’s the antidote?" Wang Dali asked.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I have a few questions first," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Wang Dali was indeed anxious. His life was his own, not someone else’s. If there was any delay, he might just be waiting for death.
"I know you’re not from Yu Family Village. We have no grievances or enmity, so why would you mess with me?" Wang Dali said in disbelief.
"Who said I’m not from Yu Family Village?" Mu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, those cowards from Yu Family Village are afraid just to look at me. None of them would dare harm me. You’re the only one who’s beaten me and messed with me." Actually, Wang Dali didn’t agree in his heart that Mu Shuangshuang had beaten him.
He felt it was just his bad luck and that he had fallen by himself.
If he hadn’t been poisoned now, Wang Dali would have taken the life of the young lady in front of him.
"Alright, cut the crap. Tell me, what do you plan to do from now on?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I... I..." Wang Dali thought long and hard, unsure how to answer.
He hadn’t even considered this issue. He wasn’t about to go out and work. After all, the villagers feared him. If he had no food or drink, he’d just go to someone else’s home to steal or rob.
Whoever sent him to the government, he’d just move into their house.
"You don’t even know what you’ll do, so why should I save you?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"How dare you go back on your word, you stinky girl! Do you believe I won’t kill you?" Wang Dali, reverting to his nature, said menacingly to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Come on, you go ahead and try. See if you’re faster than I am. If you don’t kill me, in forty-nine days, you’ll just rot to death!"
The forcefulness in Mu Shuangshuang’s words intimidated Wang Dali a bit.
"No, no, I was just joking. I swear, starting tomorrow, I’ll go to the town to find a job and support myself, okay?"
Mu Shuangshuang found Wang Dali’s unconvincing words extremely funny.
"Here’s the deal: if you slap yourself a few times, I’ll be pleased and give you the antidote."
Wang Dali was almost about to explode with anger. Just as he wanted to move towards Mu Shuangshuang, she said, "Think it over, is the antidote more important or your face?"
"Fine, I’ll do it..."
After a while, the sound of slaps echoed from the cotton field.
Mu Shuangshuang made Wang Dali slap himself fifty times, likely turning his face into that of a pig’s head.
Wang Dali’s temper had reached its limit.
Mu Shuangshuang took out the "antidote" she had prepared in advance and said to Wang Dali, "Open your mouth, here’s the antidote!"
Wang Dali opened his mouth, and another piece of dried chicken dung landed in it. But this time, Wang Dali could taste it.
He went crazy and shouted at Mu Shuangshuang, "What did you feed me?"
"Dried chicken dung, haha! How does it taste?"
Wang Dali’s face instantly turned liver-colored. He rushed towards Mu Shuangshuang, and at this moment, while they were talking, Lu Yuanfeng, not far away, tossed a rope over.
"Catch!" Mu Shuangshuang caught the rope. Together, they tied Wang Dali up like a zongzi, and then Mu Shuangshuang grabbed a stick and whipped Wang Dali fiercely.
"Wang Dali, remember, the people of Yu Family Village are not for you to mess with.
Whether it’s Feng Xiaohua or anyone else, every time I see you, I’ll beat you!
If you don’t learn to be a good person, what’s the point of living? Even pigs are better than you! At least their meat can be sold. What can you do?"
As she beat him, Mu Shuangshuang lectured him.
Her emotions were incredibly intense.
She hit so hard that with one blow, she knocked out one of Wang Dali’s front teeth. Wang Dali repeatedly begged for mercy, continuously promising to be a good person.
"Oh my, auntie, I was wrong... female hero, I was wrong..."
The wailing continued for most of the night.
When Wang Dali’s whole body was covered in wounds, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng tied him to the big tree at the village entrance again.
"Wang Dali, consider yourself lucky today. If you dare to do anything bad again in the future, be careful, as I might take your life!"
After leaving these harsh words, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng walked back.
Wang Dali no longer had the strength to beg for mercy, barely able to breathe.
The next day, when the villagers found Wang Dali at the village entrance, they beat him again before the village chief ordered them to let him down.
After calling for the doctor, they managed to save half his life.
Mu Shuangshuang found out during the day that last night, Luo Xiu’er had been taken to the county overnight. It seemed this time she wouldn’t fare well when she returned.
As for the two elders of the Luo family, they lost two acres of fertile land because they had participated in wicked deeds.
Now, Old Sir Luo and Old Lady Luo only had a son in town who was fond of gambling.
Their son was unlikely to give them money, and two acres of land had been taken back.
The two old people were suddenly worried about their future subsistence.
But a chill of three feet didn’t form in a day. When the Old Luo Family became prosperous, they offended all their relatives one by one. Now, there was no one willing to associate with the Old Luo Family.
Even Luo Xiu’er’s grandparents did not want to associate with Old Sir Luo’s family.
It was considered that the old couple got what they deserved for not doing good deeds and following their daughter to do bad things, thus harming others.
Getting retribution is quite normal.
After breakfast, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t rush Yu Si Niang home; instead, she discussed with Lu Yuanfeng and went to Er Gui Village to invite Zhang Huai Shu over.
Mu Shuangshuang remembered that Yu Liulang mentioned something was wrong with himself.
Back then, dealing with Luo Xiu’er was a priority. Now that Luo Xiu’er’s matter was resolved, she figured it was time to help her uncle with his health issues.
Fortunately, despite the cold weather, Zhang Huai Shu had no objections to coming out.
He rode in Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s ox cart, chatting with Mu Shuangshuang along the way.
