The happy little days of the Ye family

The village chief quickly took out the gong at home and struck it vigorously.

This gong is used to convene villagers for meetings in emergencies. When people in the village heard the sound of the gong being struck at the village chief's house, they all dropped what they were doing and rushed to the village chief's house.

As the villagers walked, they also asked people around them about what was important. The gong of the village chief had not sounded for several years.

They didn't go to the fields during the Chinese New Year. The villagers stayed at home to rest. Within a while, most of the people in the village gathered at the village chief's house.

The village chief was very anxious, worried that the children in the village would be tricked into getting addicted to drugs. To make a long story short, he briefly talked about Wang Dashan tricking people in the village into gambling.

Because of the incident where a landowner had his wife separated and his family destroyed due to gambling, the elders in the village hated gambling and used this incident every year to educate the younger generations in the family.

Moreover, the village chief also set a village rule that anyone who participates in gambling will be whipped 50 times and punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a month.

Anyone who dares to open a casino or set up a gambling bureau will be exterminated and even expelled from the village.

There happened to be a pile of chopped firewood in the yard of the village chief's house. The villagers picked up the sticks and prepared to go to the cabin to arrest people.

Before the group of people reached the village entrance, they saw Wang Dashan limping into the village from a distance.

Wang Dashan saw a group of people from a distance. When he looked carefully, he saw that people in the village were coming towards him angrily. Wang Dashan had a bad feeling and quickly turned around and ran away.

People in the village also saw Wang Dashan, and Tangshan and several strong men in the village immediately chased after him.

Wang Dashan was pushed to the ground by his second cousin. He was injured in the fall, and then he was beaten severely. He couldn't run fast with injuries on his body.

Wang Dashan was soon caught up by Tang Shan. Tang Shan easily pushed the man to the ground, and the man behind him chased him and beat him severely again.

Tang Shan tied up Wang Dashan with five flowers, and then escorted Wang Dashan. A group of people came to the broken wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

A group of people surrounded the cabin. The village chief kicked open the door of the cabin. At this time, the people inside were still gambling.

The village chief saw that there were actually two boys from his Peach Blossom Village gambling, and one of them was his good grandson Tang Futian.

The village chief pinned his grandson down at the gambling table and slapped him several times.

"Are you awake yet?"

Tang Futian's legs became weak when he saw the village chief. Then when he saw Tang Ren behind the village chief, his legs became even weaker and he knelt on the ground.

Tang Ren was so angry that he kicked him, "Are you going to heaven? Have you eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts? Do you want to taste the fate of Landlord Ye?"

The other boy was Wang Dashan's cousin Wang Dashi. Wang Dashi was also held by his father and beaten violently.

Tangshan and other people in the village smashed all the tables and chairs in the house that could be smashed.

The gamblers who had just been gambling at the gambling table were suddenly frightened into quails and squatted in the corner shivering.

The village chief looked at the thin man in the lead with a cold face, "I don't care how you bet in your own village, but if you dare to take advantage of our Peach Blossom Village, that's not allowed."

After saying that, the village chief and his people were about to go back to open the ancestral hall, when a fierce-looking man stopped the village chief.

"You can leave if you want. Please pay back the money first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was held down by Tang Shan and several strong men.

The thin man took out several IOUs from his arms, "Wang Dashan owes our gambling house 100 taels, Wang Dashi owes 30 taels, and Tang Futian owes 40 taels."

The village chief was about to take the IOU and look at it carefully, but the thin man dodged away.

"Don't think of any crooked ideas. It's natural to pay back the money you owe. If you pay back the money, you can take it with you."

Wang Dashan's father and grandfather knew that Wang Dashan deceived people in his village into gambling. Wang Dashan would definitely be exterminated and his life would be ruined.

The father and son hated the people in the casino. They held the man down and beat him violently. Then they took the IOU and handed it to the village chief respectfully.

The village chief checked the IOU carefully and found that the three of them had indeed signed and pledged it, but the amount was not that large.

"The IOU says Wang Dashan 30 taels, Wang Dashi 12 taels, and Tang Guitian 20 taels."

The thin man who was suppressed said confidently: "This is the rule of the gambling house. Interest is required. There are small words written on the IOU. If you don't pay back the money today, you will have to pay back more money in the future."

The village chief took the IOUs to find the three people who had been beaten into pig heads, and confirmed that these were the only three IOUs.

The village chief tore up all the IOUs. The two men who were pinned to the ground tried to stop them, but they were unable to move.

The village chief thrust the torn note into their mouths and forced them to swallow it.

The village chief sneered at the two of them, "I'll take him away. If you don't accept it, just report it to the official."

The village chief led a group of people back to Taohua Village in a grand manner. The three of them were detained and kneeled in the hall of the ancestral hall. They were surrounded by onlookers, including their relatives and friends.

The village chief took down a long, shiny black whip from the wall of the ancestral hall.

"Not only is Wang Dashan addicted to gambling, he actually deceived people in his village to go to the casino. He was punished with 70 lashes. He no longer had to kneel in the ancestral hall, and his clan was exterminated directly."

"Wang Dashi and Tang Guitian were addicted to gambling and were whipped 50 times and punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a month."

People in the village gathered in the ancestral hall to watch the three people being whipped and at the same time educating the younger generations in the family.

"Use hard, you haven't eaten yet, hit hard and hard to remember."

"If you go out to gamble, my legs will be broken by you."

"Did you see that? If you disobey and dare to go out and gamble, this is what will happen."

Ye Qiuyu, Tang Futian's mother, felt extremely distressed when she saw her son being beaten to a bloody pulp. She wanted to go over and plead with the village chief, but was stopped by the village chief's wife.

"You have been soft-hearted since childhood. This child Tomita has been spoiled by you. If you don't discipline him properly, this child will be useless in the future."

Ye Qiuyu knew that she was usually too pampered with her son, so she turned around and did not look at her son who was beaten to a bloody pulp.

Tang Futian was beaten 50 times and was lying on the ground dying. Tang Ren took the whip and added a few more lashes, but after all, he felt sorry for his son, and they were all lashed on the thighs that were still intact.

"You have been pampered since you were a child, and you love to eat and are lazy. You should be lazy if you want to be lazy. I still have some wealth and I can't starve you to death. I didn't expect you to actually gamble. Do you want to piss me off?"

Tang Futian hugged Tang Ren's thigh and cried bitterly, "Dad, Dad, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please spare me this time. I will never dare to do it again. I swear I will never do it again in the future." Bet on it.”

Then he looked around for Ye Qiuyu, "Mother, mother, where are you? My body hurts so much, mother..."

"You are just spoiled by your mother. It is the fault of a son who does not teach his father. I will discipline you in the future. No matter how much your mother pleads for mercy this time, it will be useless." Then he whipped Tang Futian's calf twice.

Because Wang Dashan deceived his cousin Wang Dashu into gambling, the Wang family was in turmoil, and the brothers turned against each other. The two brothers got into a group, and the two sisters-in-law were pulling their hair.

The village chief found a few strong men with a tight tongue to stay in the cabin every day.

Because the people of Taohua Village smashed all the tables and chairs in the wooden house, this small gambling shop could not continue to operate. Now only the vicious man and the thin man live in the small wooden house.

Several people in Tangshan squatted for several days and finally found a suitable opportunity.

That night, the two of them drank a little wine, and by midnight they were lying on the table drunk.

Tang Shan had practiced kung fu and struck quickly and accurately, breaking both of their legs. Then a group of people carried the two of them to a steep hillside.

The two of them were pushed down the hillside. The hillside was not high. Even if they rolled down, they would not die. At most, they would only lose their arms and legs.

At noon the next day, news came from the village that the two of them rolled down the hillside after being drunk last night. They fell very hard, both legs were broken, and they also had various injuries on their bodies.

Several surrounding villages were deeply poisoned by these two people, and they all applauded, saying that this was retribution.

The two were orphans. They had no one to discipline them since they were young. They behaved randomly in the village, and no one cared about them when they got hurt.

The two of them had broken legs and couldn't move. No one called a doctor for them, and their injuries never healed.

A month later, I heard that two people had starved to death in the cabin.
