The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 43: Beating up the Meng brothers

Meng Xiang and his older brother took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, and went down to the fields to prepare to pull up the seedlings.

At this time, not only Wang Jingru and her father surrounded them, but the people they hired had also discovered the two men. Someone among them shouted that someone was here to destroy the seedlings, and they should catch them quickly.

The people who were watching immediately ran out of the ditch and lit torches.

The earth was instantly illuminated, and several people gathered around.

The two men fled in panic. Wang Jingru and Wang Laosan kept an eye on their movements. They attacked from both sides of the land. Wang Jingru and her father also guarded both sides of the land.

Fearing that the two men would escape and be discovered, they covered their faces with black cloth.

The two men, holding knives in panic, confronted the people who were arresting them.

The two men were at the end of their rope and could only confront the people who were arresting them with knives and started slashing at them with the knives.

These people only look after the fields to earn some money. Who can really risk their lives to fight against the bad guys?

Wang Jingru and Wang Laosan saw that they were hesitant and did not dare to step forward, and they were still retreating one by one.

Wang Jingru and Wang Laosan did not go down to the fields. There was no water in other fields, only this field had water. Because seedlings were grown in this field, the water in it could not be cut off.

When the two men saw the people who were blocking them retreating, they became even more arrogant, brandishing their knives and quickly approaching these people.

These people were afraid and retreated quickly until they reached the ridge of the field. They thought they could escape by retreating to the ridge.

How could Wang Jingru and Wang Laosan let these two run away? When they came up and planned to escape quickly, they were attacked by Wang Jingru and Wang Laosan at the same time.

The father and daughter attacked the two brothers at the same time. The eldest brother Meng was quite skilled because he had been working in the fields for many years and had considerable strength.

After the fight between Meng Lao Da and Wang Lao San, Meng Lao Er could not take it anymore. He cheated every day and did not work in the fields. He was very weak.

When she met Wang Jingru, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, Wang Jingru saw Meng Laoer coming towards her with a knife, and she dodged by leaning sideways.

She turned around and kicked Meng Laoer, who fell to the ground. Wang Jingru walked over quickly, stepped on him and snatched the knife from his hand.

When these people saw Wang Jingru knocking someone to the ground, they rushed over to help.

Everyone worked together to hold the man down and tied his hands and feet with ropes. Meng Laoer was tied up and couldn't move.

He started to curse loudly, and the guards recognized him as Meng Laoer from the village.

Meng Lao Da was still fighting with Wang Lao San. Wang Lao San not only worked all year round, but was also tall. Naturally, he was much stronger than Meng Lao Da.

Wang Jingru freed her hands and joined the fight. She was afraid that Boss Meng had a knife and would hurt her father.

Together with Dad, they attacked Boss Meng. Boss Meng was no match for Old San Wang in the first place and was already a spent force. With the joining of Wang Jingru, Boss Meng was quickly captured.

Everyone tied up Meng Lao Da with ropes. But the two of them didn't stop talking, calling Wang Lao San a piece of shit and Wang Jingru a little bitch.

He cursed her brother for all sorts of nasty things, even saying that his brother was unfit to be the magistrate of the county, and was simply a eunuch who couldn't even get an erection when seeing a beautiful woman.

He cursed the whole family, saying that they were all evil-hearted people. The more he cursed, the more nasty it became. Wang Laosan could no longer tolerate it. He decided not to endure it any longer. He walked a few steps to Boss Meng, raised his big palm, and gave Boss Meng a few slaps in the face.

Boss Meng's face swelled up instantly, and it was as swollen as a pig's head. The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his teeth were loose.

Boss Meng cried out in pain and didn't dare to curse anymore.

Then he begged for mercy incoherently, asking people to stop hitting him.

I stink, I stink! He couldn't even speak clearly, and the villagers laughed. Meng Laoer saw that his brother was beaten and begged for mercy, and his words were unclear, so he quickly stopped talking and dared not curse anymore.

He also started begging for mercy. How could Wang Laosan let Meng Laoer go? He was the one who cursed the most fiercely and was the most unbearable to hear just now.

After the beating, Boss Meng came to Boss Meng No. 2 and started hitting him with his hands left and right. After a while, his face was swollen, blood came out from the corners of his mouth, and two teeth fell out.

After he had vented his anger, he took the two to the home of the village chief of Mengjia Village. Village chief Meng had already gone to bed, and the whole family had turned off the lights and gone to bed.

The villagers knocked on the door and woke him up from his sleep. Village chief Meng opened the door angrily.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw two people lying on the ground outside his house. There was a group of people standing outside the gate, and because of their loud noise, the villagers were woken up.

Everyone came out to watch the fun, but Village Chief Meng didn’t recognize who these two people were at all.

His face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was so dark that it was impossible to recognize who was who.

Then he looked at the crowd standing here and said, what on earth is going on? What on earth happened? Who caught this person?

Who are these two people? They cried so hard that their faces were covered with snot and tears.

He said vaguely that it was me, the village chief, but the village chief couldn't hear him at all. What were they talking about?

Wang Laosan walked over and said, Village Chief Meng, these two people are Meng Xiang and his brother Meng Lao Da.

These two people secretly went to the fields to destroy the seedlings, and were caught by us. They also wanted to hurt people with knives.

If you don't care about this matter, I will send them to the authorities.

When Village Chief Meng heard that the case would be sent to the government, he was shocked. This was unacceptable as it would mean the reputation of their village would plummet.

Besides, the county magistrate is his son, so how will he be sentenced if he is sent to the government? It is still up to their family to decide.

After all, he is the village chief of Mengjia Village, and these two people are members of the Meng family.

If something like this happened, they would not only lose face, but would also bring disgrace to the Meng family.

The village chief quickly said, let’s talk about it if there is anything we can solve in the village!

Wang Laosan was also unwilling to cause trouble for his son. After all, he was the one who caught the man and sent him to the government. Others could say that he was the county magistrate's father and could sentence him however they wanted.

It would be different if he was sent to the village chief, because he was a member of their own Meng family. If they handed him over to them for handling, no one would say that they were showing off their power by relying on their son.

The village chief asked you to decide how to deal with the situation, how much damage has been done to the seedlings, and how much compensation will be needed.

How should such a person be punished in your Meng family? Just follow your family rules!

While they were discussing how to punish the two brothers, Old Man Meng and Old Lady Meng arrived.

When I saw the miserable state of my two sons, I ran over, hugged them, and burst into tears. I cried and rolled on the ground, wondering who the hell had beaten my two sons like this.

This is really heartless. I curse him to give birth to a son without an asshole. I wish him a miserable death and reincarnation as an animal.

Old Man Meng was so angry that his face turned purple. He pointed at his two sons and said, "What mistakes have my two sons made?"

They were beaten like this and tied up. Was it murder or arson? My two sons are not evil people. Why do you treat them like this?

The villagers’ hearts softened when they saw her cry. Come to think of it!

They are all from the same village, and the villagers do not distinguish between good and evil. They will side with whichever side has more supporters.

They just went with the flow, and some villagers began to plead for the two men, saying, "Isn't this a big deal? I think we should just forget it!"

The two men were beaten up and they all looked at Wang Laosan. Wang Laosan said, "I caught them. If I hadn't been caught by them, all the seedlings grown in my family would have been ruined."

The loss is huge, and it has delayed my harvest for a season. Who among you can afford to pay for this season's harvest? This is hundreds of acres of good farmland.

Everyone fell silent again. Yes, if these hundreds of acres of seedlings were all destroyed, then hundreds of acres of fertile land would be affected.

How much grain can be produced from these hundreds of acres of fertile land? After saying this, Village Chief Meng did not dare to make a decision.

If these two people handle it with care and later destroy the seedlings, the responsibility will not only be theirs, but he as the village chief will be done for.

It would be strange if the county magistrate could let him off easily! If things go wrong, the whole village will be implicated by these two people.

Old Man Meng realized the seriousness of the matter and was afraid that his two sons would be severely punished, so he quickly promised that such a thing would not happen again and that he would keep the Yan family under close watch when he returned.

If something like this happens again, their family will pay compensation even if it means they lose everything they have. If the things in their home are not enough to pay, they will sell everything in their home to pay it back.

Old Man Meng gave everyone repeated assurances, and it was difficult for Wang Laosan to hold on to his promise, after all, he had beaten the two men badly.

Finally, Village Chief Meng wrote a letter of guarantee, and Old Man Meng, Old Lady Meng, and Old Man Meng Da and Old Man Meng Er all put their fingerprints on it.

This letter of guarantee was made in duplicate, one in the village chief's hands and one in Wang Laosan's. The matter was finally settled.

After the matter was resolved, the father and daughter returned home talking and laughing. After washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, just after dawn, the yamen runners arrived at Mengjia Village. When the villagers heard the news, they all came out to watch.

They thought that Wang Laosan had reported the matter to the authorities, and some people started to complain, saying that Wang Laosan was really going too far and had just signed a letter of guarantee yesterday.

We will call the government today to arrest Boss Meng and the Second Boss Meng.

Some people even said, "That's impossible. How could it be so fast?" I saw Wang Laosan just got up. "That's impossible. What else could it be?"

Who knows? See what the officer said.

When the village chief heard the news, he hurried over. He was old and was so tired that he was panting and sweating on his forehead. He came to the officer and bowed and said, "Sir, what do you want?"

The leading officer asked, "Where is Meng Haoxue's home?" The village chief said, "Please follow me." The village chief led several officers to Meng's home. Along the way, the village chief did not dare to ask what had happened.

When the village chief arrived at the Meng family's house, he knocked on their door. Only Mrs. Meng was up, the rest of the family hadn't gotten up yet!

When they heard that the village chief and the officials were coming, the whole family hurriedly put on their clothes.

When they came outside, the officer said, "You must be Meng Haoxue's family!"

Meng Haoxue is dying in the prison. Go get some of your men and carry him back here!

When Old Man Meng heard this, he realized that his promising grandson was dying. He lost his breath and passed out.

Old Mrs. Meng didn't faint, but she was also scared to death, because that was her precious grandson.

The eldest brother Meng was injured, and the second brother Meng was also injured. Mrs. Meng could only ask the village chief to find a few people to carry Meng Haoxue back.

When Meng Lao Da’s wife heard that her son was about to die, she sat on the ground and fainted from crying.

The Meng family was in chaos, so the village chief found a few young men, borrowed an ox cart from Wang Laosan, and went to the county town to pick up the people.

After walking for a day, they brought Meng Haoxue back when it was dark.

All the villagers came to watch the fun. They saw Meng Haoxue, who was skinny and dying.

They all sighed, thinking about the young man who was full of vigor and vitality, and who was so arrogant in their village and looked down on everyone.

None of the villagers sympathized with him. They all started to complain. Meng Haoxue had been in jail and had become so thin. It was such a sin!

What a good child, but he has lost all his human form.

I saw that he wouldn't live for many more days. Everyone was discussing the matter. The villagers were talking about it, and the village chief asked people to carry Meng Haoxue into the main house.

When Meng Lao Da's wife saw the miserable state of her son, she couldn't stop crying.

Meng Lao Da's wife was very busy. She made thick bedding for her son, boiled water for him to wash his body, and killed a chicken to make soup for him.

Old Man Meng thanked the villagers and the village chief profusely.

I wanted to keep a few people for dinner, but no one stayed. They are already in such a miserable state. If you still want to eat here, it's a bit unkind.

As a villager, everyone has difficulties. Let's help them if we can! The villagers and the village chief all went back, and Wang Laosan's ox cart was also returned.

I thought the matter was over, but it was not. Meng Haoxue suffered humiliation in prison, and although he did not die, he was well-recovered after he came back.

But he also became very gloomy, and looked at everyone in the family with a vicious look from time to time.

Sometimes he would sneak out in the middle of the night, but the people in the Meng family didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Everyone thought the child was fine. Go outside for a walk to relax.

But it is not what they think. Meng Haoxue now has a habit of abusing small animals. He likes to torture chickens, ducks, geese and dogs to death the most.

And then ate their flesh? Meng Haoxue's eyes became more and more vicious and cruel.

The villagers also felt that something was wrong because poultry was often lost in the village. Some families lost dogs, some lost chickens, ducks, geese, and even some families lost cats.

More and more things were lost in the village, and people came to the village chief, who was also having a headache.

The key point is that no one knows who stole it, so the villagers had to organize a group of people to patrol the village every day, and every household kept a closer eye on their poultry.

But they still got lost from time to time, and finally one day, the people in Wangjia Village complained that their geese were lost.

The son of Wang Kuaizui, who was collecting firewood on the mountain, saw Meng Haoxue roasting a goose on the mountain.

When they came back and told everyone about it, all the villagers ran to the mountain and were caught by Meng Haoxue.

Meng Haoxue had no excuse and admitted that he was the only one who stole the poultry in the village.

Confess all the poultry recently lost in the village.

All the villagers came to Mr. Meng's house and told him the number of poultry they had lost and asked him to pay compensation.

It's easy to compensate for one or two, but if every household in the village lost some, the total amount would be too much for the Meng family to afford.

Unable to pay the compensation, he had no choice but to sell the land. Although the land was not worth much, it could at least fetch a few taels of silver.

After scraping together enough money from all over, they paid it back to the villagers as compensation.

The villagers got the money and returned home. When Old Man Meng saw that the child was useless, he nailed all the front and back windows shut, locked him in the room and locked the door.

Don't let him leave the room, you deliver meals to him every day and put a toilet in the room.

Meng Haoxue was locked up like this and never left the room again.

The villagers didn't care about this, as long as they didn't come out to steal their things.

Wang Jingru's rice seedlings have been transplanted to the field. They are growing well and are much taller than the rice seedlings they planted directly in the field. The villagers come to the field every day to check on them, and they are not afraid of the long journey.

The seedlings are growing differently every day and are gratifying.

The villagers all want to finish this crop, so when they plant the next crop, they must buy some seeds from Wang Laosan and grow seedlings in advance in the same way, which will definitely result in a high yield.

Wang Jingru planted potatoes in those dry lands, and he found these potatoes by chance in the warehouse in the space.

So they planted several crops in the space. Now there are a lot of seeds, but there is no crop like potatoes in the Dayu Dynasty.

Several neighboring countries also had them. The potatoes Wang Jingru planted in the field attracted the attention of the villagers.
