How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Wang Yong is back! Li Xi slowly turned around and saw the familiar fierce man.

"I, I'm here to apologize to my sister." Li Xi was as honest as a quail and wished he could disappear right there.

Wang Yong sneered, "Wait, it will be your turn soon."

After saying that, he took the two yamen runners with him and went to the next door. He kicked the door open suddenly. Shi Niangzi was hanging clothes to dry. She was frightened by the loud noise and screamed, throwing the clothes in her hands directly out. When she saw who was coming, it was Wang Yong and his three yamen runners from next door. She trembled with fear and said, "Wang, Brother Wang...what are you doing?"

Wang Yong grinned, but his eyes held no smile. His voice was low and cold as he said, "You've insulted and slandered my wife so many times. What do you think I should do? Could you please go to the county government office and read the laws of our dynasty?"

Lady Shi was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees, crawling backwards on all fours, "No, no, no, no, no, this is bad! Brother Wang let me off the hook this time, I won't dare to do this again!"

Wang Yong narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly, "I've tolerated you for all these years, why didn't you let my family go? Don't worry, I will avoid showing up today and let the county magistrate handle it impartially. I don't deserve to be called brother, you are several years older than me."

"Mom? Uncle Wang, what are you doing?" Mrs. Shi's two sons came out of the house. They didn't know what had happened and just wanted to help their mother up quickly.

Shi Niangzi didn't dare to stand up, her legs were too weak to stand up. The county government was not a place for ordinary people to go. No matter if she was guilty or not, as long as she went in, her life would be over. She fell to the ground and begged sadly, regretting her past. Why did she let her greed cloud her heart? "Brother Wang, no, Wang... Lord Wang, please forgive me this time. I promise I won't dare to do it again, never again. Please forgive me."

Wang Yong glanced at Shi Xiaoshan and Shi Xiaohe, whom he had watched grow up together, and felt a little sorry for them. But then he remembered his wife's pillowcase, which had been soaked by her tears at night, and he steeled his heart and said, "Take them away."

The two yamen runners came up without saying a word, ignoring Shi Niangzi's struggle, and each of them picked her up with one arm and dragged her out.

"Uncle Wang? Uncle Wang! What happened to my mother? Why are you arresting him?"

"Let my mother go! Let my mother go! You bad guy!"

The two children were crying and shouting. The neighbor outside the door, attracted by the noise, peeked in and took a look, then quickly turned and ran away.

Dong Xiaohuan heard the noise and came out. He was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and hurried forward to stop Wang Yong, "Brother Yong, Brother Yong!"

Wang Yong pulled her hand away and said, "Go home and don't worry about it."

Dong Xiaohuan didn't want to humiliate him in public, but she couldn't just sit back and watch. She coaxed him softly, "Calm down, Brother Yong. Let's move! I choose to move!"

"You said it." Wang Yong's expression softened a little, and he turned back to look at Shi Niangzi with a still unfriendly look, "Since my wife pleaded for you, I will let you go this time. If I hear you talking nonsense again next time, no one will be able to save you."

After saying this, the two yamen runners also let go of their hands.

"I won't be back for lunch." Wang Yong glanced at his wife, touched his daughter's soft hair, and left with his two brothers.

Lady Shi sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Li Xi, who was hiding aside, saw this scene and patted his chest in fear. He didn't dare to bother Dong Xiaohuan anymore and left in shame.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Liu Peipei came up and spat at the Shi family, "I think she should have been punished like this a long time ago."

Dong Xiaohuan sighed, "After this incident, she won't be able to escape being beaten again when Shi Da comes back."

"She deserves it all. If it weren't for that mouth of hers, she wouldn't have been beaten so often." Liu Peipei said angrily, "You're still soft-hearted. Who is she and what did she say to you? And you're still soft-hearted. Haven't you suffered enough?"

"It's not that I'm soft on her. We're all women, and it's not nice to hit her like that in front of the kids. If the kids get angry and learn that, they'll probably bring trouble to other girls."

"None of your business, why think so far ahead? She's suffered so much and hasn't shown any remorse, who can she blame?"

After chatting for a few minutes, Liu Peipei went back to make lunch.

Wang Yong didn't come back, so the mother and daughter ate a little and then started making sausages again. They could get a pot today, and they made a lot of sausages. If they couldn't sell all of it this afternoon, they could make pancakes tomorrow morning.

While giving herself an enema, Xia Chu asked, "Mom, how much would it cost to buy a small yard like ours?"

Now that the pearls were sold, it was time to prepare to buy a house. Dong Xiaohuan told her truthfully, "I bought this courtyard a few years ago for six hundred taels, and I even renovated it myself. But houses in Lin'an Prefecture are hard to find. There are many buyers but few sellers."

Isn't that perfect? There's no need to bother looking for a house or renovating it. Dong Xiaohuan has kept this house in great condition. It's a pearly white, so being able to move into a new house is already great. I'll have to trouble Wang Yong for help with the household registration. She smiled, not mentioning that she'd overheard last night. "Mom just said she wants to move?"

"You heard it again?" It wouldn't matter if I told the kids. There was no way to hide something as big as moving. "That's the plan."

Xia Chu took two steps forward and said, "I have an idea."

Dong Xiaohuan looked at her with amusement, an expectant expression on her face, "Tell me about it?"

"We're moving, and my brothers need a house. How about we transfer this house to them, and let Mom and Dad use Pearl's money to buy a new house?"

This was a win-win situation. After what happened today, Dong Xiaohuan really didn't want to stay here anymore. Brother Yong's actions today would probably make the neighbors look at him with some disapproval. After all, they'd been neighbors for so many years, seeing each other every day, and out of consideration for their friendship, they'd usually turned a blind eye to any minor issues. But bringing the yamen runners to the yamen to cause trouble would inevitably seem unkind.

Regardless of whether Brother Yong was partial or not, others would think he was abusing his power and bullying others. She sighed and said, "I'll discuss this with your father."

Wang Yong clapped his hands in approval after hearing this suggestion. He said he was lucky to have such a blessed daughter. "Don't let strangers live in this house. Those kids are not bad and won't mess up the house. You can rest assured."

"I'm relieved, but I also feel like I'm taking advantage of the kids." Dong Xiaohuan felt a little uncomfortable. This house definitely wouldn't sell for more than a thousand taels, but with prices rising, and it's a house you can live in right away, seven or eight hundred taels is about right. "Let's leave the extra money to them?"

Wang Yong wasn't one to take advantage of others, so he nodded and said, "Just give them 10% off the market price, and I'll look for a new house. Do you have any requirements?"

Dong Xiaohuan shook her head and laughed, "What can I ask for? Just buy it."

"That won't work. You spend more time in this house than I do, so I need to make sure you feel comfortable." Wang Yong thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask around first and look for a house similar to this one. I'll take you to see a good one when I find one."

"Okay." In fact, Dong Xiaohuan had another idea today, which had been turning over in her mind. She thought about it over and over again but didn't know whether to say it out loud.

Wang Yong could tell something was wrong with her. "Why are you unhappy? Are you reluctant to leave this place?"

"Forget it, I don't think it's a good idea." Dong Xiaohuan shook her head and stopped talking.
