A car accident, our family of three crossed
Chapter 40: The Threshing Ground
On the outskirts of the crowd, a man in plain clothes wearing a bamboo hat had a panoramic view of the entire show.
A young woman with a cloth wrapped around her head and her face covered tightly was quietly leaving the crowd. Her behavior seemed deliberate and attracted the attention of the man in the bamboo hat.
When the woman turned around, she saw the man in the bamboo hat looking at her with interest. She paused for a moment, guiltily covered her face with her hands and walked quickly past the man, completely forgetting that her face was already covered tightly.
It was obvious that something was wrong. The man in the bamboo hat squinted his eyes and stared at the woman's back for a long time, then lowered the brim of his hat and left quickly.
If Hang Shuheng and Song Ning could notice this man, they would definitely recognize that he was the leader of the guards who left without saying goodbye in the morning.

On the way from Shangtang Village to Xiaoquan Village, Zhang Lizheng and his entourage, including Zhang Youcai's family, were all squeezed into an ox cart.
Zhang Lizheng was smoking a pipe, not saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Along the way, everyone was silent, except for Zhang Youcai's family, who groaned in pain from time to time due to injuries caused by the bumpy ride of the ox cart.
Po Zhao was taken away by the people from Xiaoquan Village and was squeezed in a corner acting as a invisible person.
The man driving the cart intentionally wanted to make them suffer a little, so he drove faster on purpose, making the cart more bumpy and causing them more pain.
Zhang's mother finally couldn't help but speak out: "Zhang Manguan, can't you drive slower? It's shaking me to death."
"You are the most precious."
The man shouted without even turning his head, and drove the ox cart into a small pit on the side of the road, which immediately made them groan in pain.
Even the other people couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhang Lizheng tapped his pipe and said, "That's great. Drive well."
With the order from Zhang Lizheng, the man finally drove the cart normally, but he couldn't help complaining, "Humph, this pile of shit really spoiled the whole pot of porridge. The reputation of our Xiaoquan Village has been trampled under the feet of Shangtang Village."
These words undoubtedly made the other people look at Zhang Youcai's family with hatred, and they wished they could kick them off the ox cart.
Zhang Lizheng also spoke at the right time: "Return to the village, go directly to the threshing ground, and gather everyone..."
"Li Zheng, please don't do that! If everyone knows about this, how can we live like this?"
"Bah! Are you human?"
"You have the nerve to do something immoral, but you're afraid of being embarrassed to see others?"
As soon as Zhang Youcai and his family opened their mouths, they were blocked by words one after another.
"But……"
Zhang Youcai wanted to argue again, but Zhang Lizheng raised his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything. Today is a warning to you. If you do it again, don't blame me for expelling your family from Xiaoquan Village."
This time, Zhang Youcai's family was completely silent.
Although they were not convinced, they did not dare to say anything. If they were really driven out of the village, they would have no place to shelter from the wind and rain.
At this moment, they couldn't help but blame Zhang's mother, the culprit.
"It's all your fault, you ignorant woman."
"What's wrong with me? Didn't you object?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhang Lizheng shouted, "Shut up."
There was no conversation along the way. The ox cart returned to Xiaoquan Village and went straight to the threshing ground.
When the man driving the cart saw people, he shouted, asking them to tell each other to gather at the threshing ground.
By the time the ox cart stopped at the threshing ground, many villagers had gathered there one after another, and many were still on their way.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Why are Zhang Youcai and his family all lying on the ox cart?"
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but ask questions one after another. They started talking and pointing fingers at Zhang Youcai's family from time to time.
When almost everyone had gathered, Zhang Lizheng raised his hand, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly became much quieter.
Someone asked, "Li Zheng, what's the matter with you calling us here?"
Zhang Lizheng stood with his hands behind his back and looked back at the ox cart.
A few men understood what was going on and dragged Zhang Youcai and his family down, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
Zhang Youcai and his family did not dare to show their faces to others and kept covering their faces with their hands, but this was just an attempt to cover up their own mistakes.
They were from the same village and everyone recognized them at a glance.
"Isn't that Zhang Youcai's family? What did they do wrong?"
"Who knows? Let's see what the head of the village says."
Everyone was confused and looked at Zhang Lizheng at the same time, waiting for him to reveal the truth.
"Zhang Youcai and Zhao the witch from Zhaojiagou did some immoral things..."
Zhang Lizheng explained everything in a serious manner, and the crowd immediately exploded.
"Oh my god! This is too immoral..."
"There isn't a single good bamboo shoot in Zhang Youcai's family..."
After everyone showed contempt and disgust towards Zhang Youcai's family, Li Zheng Zhang raised his hand again to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Each of them has been punished with twenty strokes of the cane. Today's incident is over. I hope everyone will take it as a warning. If anyone dares to do immoral things outside and ruin the reputation of our village in the future, don't blame me for expelling him from Xiaoquan Village."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Taking Zhang Youcai and his family to the threshing ground for public display was intended, firstly, to teach them a lesson, and secondly, to serve as a warning to everyone else.
The goal had been achieved, and Zhang Lizheng waved his hand and let everyone go.
Everyone dispersed, and those who passed by Zhang Youcai's family couldn't help but spit and say it was bad luck.
When most of the people had left, Zhang Lizheng had Zhao the witch locked up first.
We must get back half of the humiliation we suffered in Shangtang Village from Zhaojiagou.
Zhang Youcai's family supported each other and limped back home. They saw the small girl San Ya sweeping the yard with a broom that was taller than her.
Zhang's mother, who had been holding back her anger with nowhere to vent, finally found an outlet. She kicked San Ya to the ground, picked up a broom and started beating the child with it.
"Little bastard, I told you to sweep, I told you to sweep..."
No one tried to stop San Ya from being beaten and screaming. Goudan even kicked her twice more.
After beating for a while, Zhang's mother felt better. She dropped the broom and limped into the house, holding her hip.
Zhang Cuiju came out of the house and met them face to face. The anger that had just subsided half of Zhang's mother surged up again.
"You've been living in someone else's house for so long, but you can't even get a man. What's the point of keeping you? It would be better to find someone to marry you off in exchange for some gifts, so you don't have to eat and drink for free at home."
Zhang Cuiju lowered her head and let her scold her until she said she was tired, left a word and went into the house.
"Why don't you go and cook and wait for me to serve you?"
Zhang Cuiju then raised her head and glared at her back with resentment.
In the yard, San Ya was still sitting on the ground sobbing. When she saw Zhang Cui Ju coming over, she said aggrievedly, "Mother...it hurts so much..."
"You can't even sweep the floor properly, you deserve to be beaten."
After being wronged, what she received was not her mother's comfort but a barrage of accusations. San Ya pursed her lips and shrank back, tears streaming down her face.
She felt that her mother had changed and no longer loved her at all.
