HCB Chapter 108 Retribution
Chapter 108 Retribution
"Hmph, you two adulterers, bring her up here." Mr. Wang was furious. He had some doubts before, thinking that it was a deliberate plot by some business rival, but he didn't expect it to be true.
He saw a woman tied up and pushed in. Her face was covered with bruises, blood was coming out of the corners of her mouth, and her hair was disheveled, but Zhao Laixi could still tell at a glance that it was Yanzhi.
Realizing that the truth had been revealed, Zhao Laixi knelt down before Wang Yuanwai and said, "Wang Yuanwai, this woman seduced me. I am innocent."
"Zhao Lai Xi, you bastard, it was clearly you who seduced me first. Now that the truth is revealed, you turn the tables and blame me. Are you still a man?" Yanzhi shouted angrily. At this moment, he actually blamed everything on her.
"Bah, you are just a bitch from a brothel. If she were a decent woman, I could seduce her easily." Seeing Wang Yuanwai's determined look, Zhao Laixi was eager to distance himself from this woman.
Yanzhi almost fainted when she heard this. This man was really a piece of shit. He had said sweet words to her before, made promises to her, and even said he would take her away from here. Now something happened. He put all the blame on her.
"Zhao Laixi, you are such a piece of shit. How could I believe your lies? You bastard, I will fight you to death."
Although her hands were tied, she still had her feet. Yanzhi took a few quick steps and kicked Zhao Laixi.
Zhao Lai Xi dodged to the side, but Yan Zhi didn't give up and kicked him again.
This woman wasn't going to stop yet. Zhao Lai stood up excitedly and slapped Yanzhi in the face.
Yanzhi was really hit so hard that she saw stars. It took her a while to react: "Zhao Laixi, you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you." As she said that, she rushed towards Zhao Laixi.
Zhao Lai Xi has never been a gentle man. When he saw her rushing towards him, he grabbed her shoulders and then threw her hard. Yanzhi's body retreated several steps.
Watching the two of them blaming each other, Mr. Wang had a gloomy face. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Yanzhi staggering towards him. He was old and faced with this sudden change, he could not dodge in time.
He was hit head on and fell straight to the ground with a thud, and his head hit the door sill hard.
Everyone was shocked, and blood instantly flowed out from under Mr. Wang’s head.
The servants in the palace panicked and helped Mr. Wang up, but found that he was already dead. Eventually, Yanzhi and Zhao Laixi were tied back to the palace and locked up for three days. After dealing with Mr. Wang's funeral, Mr. Wang's wife sent them to the county government office.
At this time, the two men had been tortured beyond recognition and were on the verge of death. They had not taken a drop of water for three days and had to endure the anger of Wang Yuanwai's wife from time to time.
Mr. Wang's son had a very good personal relationship with Zhang Yaozu, and they had already discussed it secretly and were determined to punish the two of them severely.
The case was publicly tried the next day after it was sent to the police station.
The two had committed adultery first, and then were convicted of manslaughter. Each was sentenced to thirty lashes of the cane and ten years in prison. Yanzhi fainted on the spot, and Zhao Laixi kept crying out that he was innocent. To be honest, he was indeed wronged.
Yanzhi could be said to have been convicted of manslaughter, while Zhao Laixi was at most convicted of indirect murder, and was sentenced the same as Yanzhi. He was dissatisfied and wanted to appeal again, but he was an old widower with no children, so who would help him with the relationship? In the end, the original verdict was upheld.
When Li Xiaoxiao got home, she told her family about this. Li Dahai and Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried that Zhao Laixi would cause trouble again, but now they can rest assured.
Li Ruolan's eyes were slightly moist. Although it had been so long since the incident happened, it was still a knot in her heart. She looked at Li Xiaoxiao with gratitude.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister, this bad guy will get his comeuppance eventually. It's not that he won't get his comeuppance, it's just that the time has not come yet."
Li Dahai was very happy after buying the carriage yesterday. He moved the stool to the door whenever he had nothing to do and looked at the big horse tied in the yard. Before dinner time, he asked Sun to prepare hay quickly, for fear that the horse would be hungry. Even if he didn't eat, the horse would have to eat.
Li Xiaoxiao was sighing in her heart, it was indeed men's nature to like cars. In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages were equivalent to BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and the like. Anyone who went out driving a horse-drawn carriage would definitely attract a lot of attention.
It was already August, and Li Dajiang went to the provincial capital to take the exam with Zhang Wenbin. The exam was in mid-August, and the students all went there early to familiarize themselves with the exam room.
The six acres of soybeans planted by Li Xiaoxiao have matured. She learned everything from planting to management to harvesting. Maybe there was no fertilizer in ancient times, so the soybeans are not as round and full as those she took out from the space, but they are acceptable.
The land she bought was six acres in length. It was all yellow. Li Xiaoxiao was very happy from the bottom of her heart. She found four long-term workers two days ago, each paid twenty cents a day. She didn't want her family to do this as the work was too tiring. There were three women in her family and they were the only labor force and they couldn't work, so they were really not suitable for this.
The process of harvesting soybeans is arduous and complicated. First, the soybeans are harvested and then sent to a designated location for threshing. The entire process is done manually.
On the first day, many villagers came to watch. Soybeans were relatively new to them. They stretched their necks and asked questions. Li Xiaoxiao told them all the questions as appropriate.
"These little yellow beans are really pleasing to the eye."
"Xiao Xiao is really talented. He actually grew these novel seeds."
"That's right. In our village, Xiaoxiao is the most capable girl."
"I said the sea is a blessing, see."
Seeing them speaking more nicely than the other, Li Xiaoxiao knew clearly in her mind that it was like a group of people who were not living well, and suddenly one day, one of them became rich, and then this person became the object of everyone's envy. Originally everyone was equally poor, so why should you be rich? So now Li Xiaoxiao is the object of their envy.
This is human nature, and no wonder they are jealous. Li Xiaoxiao had already thought about it. After the harvest, he planned to send two kilograms of rice to each family. Seeing the current situation, he had to announce the plan in advance.
"Aunts, please stop praising me. I'll be too proud if you keep praising me. Oh, there's one more thing. My soybean threshing will occupy our village's rice field for a few days. This year, I only planted six acres, and the yield is not that great. So I thought that after I'm done, I'll give each family in our village two pounds of soybeans so that everyone can have a taste, or use them as seeds next year."
The reason I said this was to remind them not to take them home and eat them all. If you want to plant them, you can keep them and ask her for seeds later. Sorry, there are no more.
