Chapter 195: A Furious Beating of the Qians (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

His heart tightened, and Wang Laoshuan couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"Who could it be?" he asked Wang Dashi with some fear.

Their Xiashui Village had many households, and the people were good-natured.

Normally, even if doors weren't locked, there hadn't been any thefts.

Today, when he and his son left, they had locked the door. So why was there a light on in the house?

Wang Dashi shook his head.

He quickly grabbed a thick wooden stick from the cart.

Then, he tiptoed cautiously toward their courtyard.

Seeing this, Wang Laoshuan swallowed again.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

Then, he followed his son's example and took a wooden stick from the cart.

He followed behind.

Father and son entered the courtyard one after the other.

They then approached the main room.

When they saw who was inside, Wang Dashi's face darkened, and his grip on the stick loosened.

Wang Laoshuan, following behind Wang Dashi, looked puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, a familiar voice came from the main room.

"Dashi is back!" It was indeed the Qians.

At that moment, the Qians were eating, with a large basin in front of them, and there were bones by the basin.

Thinking of something, Wang Dashi's expression changed.

Without paying attention to the Qians, he immediately headed for the chicken coop.

As he walked, he prayed.

No, the only egg-laying hen left in the house must be safe.

Wang Laoshuan looked at his son, intending to ask where he was going.

But his gaze inadvertently slid to the table in the main room, and he saw the bones beside the Qians' bowl.

His heart sank, and Wang Laoshuan instantly guessed what his son was doing.

What else was there to see?

The hen in the house must have been eaten by that greedy woman!

Seeing the large bowl in front of the Qians, Wang Laoshuan's anger flared up.

Without fear, he entered the main room with the stick.

Despite the "murderous aura" emanating from Wang Laoshuan, the Qians didn't seem afraid when he entered the room.

Instead, they continued eating right in front of him.

Indeed, the large bowl in front of them contained fragrant chicken above and rice below.

How did these things come about?

Of course, she killed the family's chicken and found the rice, cooking it herself.

Ever since she was thrown out of Xiashui Village by Wang Dashi and his men, she returned to Qian Village.

The next day, the people of Qian Village migrated, and she begged her cousin and cousin's wife to take her along, but they refused.

She had no choice but to stay in Qian Village with a few remaining households.

In recent days, she relied on the limited food left by her cousin's family.

But yesterday, her cousin's food ran out.

With no other way to get food, she had to return to Xiashui Village.

Fortunately, she had the key to the house, and being careful enough, she managed not to be discovered.

Back home, she started making food.

Having been hungry for two days now, she couldn't wait for her son to return.

Luckily, there was food and meat in the house, so she cooked herself a meal.

Hmph, she thought the family was truly struggling, but there was actually so much food.

Not just food, but eggs, chickens, and dried goods too.

These father and son duo were really good at pretending to be poor.

Seeing the Qians ignoring him and happily gnawing on a chicken leg, Wang Laoshuan's anger intensified.

Subsequently, the stick in his hand swung toward Qian's bowl.

"Let you eat! You good-for-nothing woman!"

With a "clang," Qian's bowl was struck and fell to the ground.

Rice and chicken scattered all over Qian.

Qian jumped in surprise, then quickly regained her senses and immediately looked at Wang Laoshuan.

"Wang Laoshuan, what are you doing? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?!" she shrieked at Wang Laoshuan.

At the same time, she got up and lunged at Wang Laoshuan.

A few days out of sight, and he had grown some courage—this wimp dared to stand up to her now.

Wang Laoshuan instinctively raised his hand to block her.

Then, Qian fixed her gaze on the stick in Wang Laoshuan's hand.

Next, she reached out to grab it directly.

Fine, he still dared to hold that stick.

If she didn't snatch it away and give him a beating, she wouldn't be his wife!

Wang Laoshuan quickly realized Qian's intention. Seeing her fierce look, how could he not guess her thoughts?

Suddenly, he remembered the promise he had made to his mother before.

And then he recalled the hardships he had endured recently. For some reason, his anger instantly overpowered his fear.

He swung the stick at Qian.

"You deserve a beating! Mother was right; you need a good thrashing!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

"Eating our chicken! Stealing our rice! I'll beat you to death, you hussy!"

As Wang Laoshuan swung the stick at Qian, he shouted loudly.

His voice drowned out Qian's curses and screams.

Initially, Qian was furious and wanted to fight back against Wang Laoshuan.

But after several blows, she was left only with fear.

Seeing Wang Laoshuan strike harder each time, Qian finally ran outside.

Wang Laoshuan, already consumed by rage and enjoying the release, wasn't about to let her go.

He immediately chased after her with the stick.

"Dashan, oh! Dashan, save me!" Qian, seeing this, hurriedly called out to Wang Dashan who was approaching.

At this moment, she no longer dared to be defiant with Wang Laoshuan; she was filled only with fear.

However, Wang Dashan's face was grim.

Not only did he not step forward, but he even stopped in his tracks.

He had already confirmed that his mother had eaten the last remaining hen in their household.

Such a woman did not deserve to be his or his little sister's mother.

Now was just the right time; his father had finally come to his senses, daring to resist and even hit his mother.

He naturally would not interfere.

"Dashan, stop that hussy for me. I'm going to beat her to death today!" Wang Laoshuan, seeing that Qian still had the nerve to seek help from her son, said aloud.

Today, he was going to vent all the anger he had been holding back.

Even if he didn't kill her, he would beat her half to death.

To make sure she never dared to steal from their home again.

Qian's expression changed.

Seeing that Wang Dashan had no intention of helping her and instead looked hostile, she quickly ran toward the door.

They were both mad! This father and son duo probably really wanted to beat her to death.

Wang Dashan saw Qian heading for the door but did not stop her.

Nor did he stop Wang Laoshuan as he chased after her with the stick.

He simply watched as they ran out of the courtyard.

Then, he stood there listening to the curses and screams outside.

His father had finally shown some backbone—good.

Hopefully, this time, he would really scare his mother enough to keep her away from their home.

When the commotion outside grew distant, Wang Dashan belatedly felt some fear.

It was fine if his father taught his mother a lesson, but he shouldn't kill her.

Thinking of this, Wang Dashi hurriedly chased after him.

After walking for only a short while, he ran into his second uncle.

"What's going on here?" Wang Dashi clearly knew something was amiss but wasn't aware of the specifics, and he asked Wang Dashan.
