I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

Chapter 37 Reporting to the Police

Leading the charge were more than a dozen young and strong men, all holding weapons in their hands. When they saw Song An Ning's hand bleeding, their eyes turned red.

"Fellow villagers, these two are robbing houses, beat them up!"

Everyone present was busy, surrounding Pan and Wang Gener.

"It's a misunderstanding, haha... It's all a misunderstanding. I'm Aning's grandmother. The little girl was disobedient just now, so I asked her uncle to teach her a lesson..."

Mrs. Pan, who was always bullying the weak and fearing the strong, immediately changed her attitude when she saw so many people coming.

"Who's farting? It stinks so bad? What are you standing there for? Hit me!"

Someone shouted, and everyone asked each other hurriedly, "Did you hear anything? I'm having a fever in the spring, and my ears are not good. I can't hear anything. Just beat me."

"Ah...it hurts, mother, help me..."

"Ouch! It hurts so much! You bastards! I'm going to report you to the police and have you all arrested! Ah! It hurts... Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."

The people in Banyue Village were also interesting. They specifically picked places that could not be easily exposed. They took turns hitting the two men's buttocks with shovels, making a thud-thud-thud sound.

"If they come to Banyue Village to rob people, don't even think about leaving in a clean manner. Anyone with a shovel, get out there and beat these two robbers to death!"

Although they said this, they still left room for action. This old hag had disliked her for a long time, so they took the opportunity to beat her up to vent their anger on Wang Ying'er's family.

"Li Zheng is coming, Li Zheng is coming..."

The people behind shouted and a path was made through the crowd. Song Dashan and Song Erhe looked unhappy. The two brothers were discussing the matter of preserved eggs, and just after they had said a few words, they heard that Aning's family had been robbed.

The two old men were so frightened that their faces changed and they ran away very fast with their guys.

"Oh, my dear relatives, those bastards from your village are going to beat me to death..."

"Pay me compensation, pay me one hundred taels of silver!"

Wang Gener covered his butt and yelled wildly. Everyone looked at him as if he was a fool. This kid, did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

"In-laws? Who are in-laws? I don't know."

Song Dashan, the old wily fellow, refused to acknowledge the marriage at all. Things had gotten to this point and so many people had come. If he accepted the marriage, he would be slapping everyone in the face.

"It's me, Ying'er's mother. Oh, my old waist..."

"My eldest daughter-in-law has no biological mother. She has no father or mother. They all died a long time ago. What kind of mother are you?"

"Exactly. Can it be found in the household registration? Will the government recognize it? What evidence do you have?"

"If you dare to come to Half Moon Village without evidence, you are a robber."

"Uncle Erhe, these two hurt Aning. Look, Aning's hand is still bleeding.

He even stripped Xiao Ayue's clothes. He is worse than pigs and dogs, and he will not die a good death."

The Song Dashan brothers looked at each other, a hint of ferocity flashed in their eyes. If a quarrel occurred, they would just fight.

But now, how dare these two creatures strip the little girl's clothes?

In the Nanyue Dynasty, only those who were caught having an affair would be stripped naked and displayed to the public, which was a great shame.

"Aning, take your hand out and let grandma see it."

Zhang squeezed in from the crowd with a stern face, picked up Song An Ning's hand and looked at it. There were scratches on her arm and hand.

Look at Pan lying on the ground, rubbing her butt and screaming that she was blackmailing someone.

Why hasn't this family died yet? None of them is good. She didn't agree with Wang Ying'er marrying into the family in the first place, but Song Feng liked her and begged her many times.

Thinking about how her eldest son had been accommodating his father-in-law's family for so many years, and how Wang Ying'er had given them so much money as a subsidy, and now even the child was not spared, Zhang could no longer bear it. She grabbed Pan's hair and slapped her several times with her arm.

"These two people injured my granddaughter and tried to steal things. Let's report it to the police."

"Yes, report it to the police! Report it to the police! Report it to the police!"

"Come here, some men, tie these two up and take them to the town to report to the police!"

Following Song Erhe's order, several men found ropes, tied the two men's arms behind their backs, and took them away.

"I'm the only child in the Wang family! How dare you tie me up? Let me go, everyone..."

"Mom, please save me..."

Wang Gener had heard that prison was a place where people were cannibalized, where eating rotten rice and slop, and being beaten and tortured was common. He didn't want to go to prison and he couldn't go to prison.

Firmly convinced, he stood up abruptly and said to everyone righteously, "It was her. My mother asked me to come here, and it was she who asked me to strip off my clothes. It's all her fault. Let me go, and arrest her and send her to the authorities..."

"..."

The surroundings were dead silent. Pan was famous for doting on Wang Gen'er. What kind of child did this spoil her into?

Eat well, dress well, and let me take care of things when you encounter problems?

Pan, who was still struggling, opened her mouth wide and stared at her son in a daze. This was the child she had spoiled for so many years? She could do this for Wang Gen'er.

"Don't be modest, both of you. Send them both to the prison. Let's be a loving mother and a filial son, haha..."

Song Anning waved her hand. She had bought hundreds of pepper seedlings and had planned to transplant them in the vegetable garden, but the arrival of the mother and son disrupted her plans.

"Aning, find your mother's letter of severance.

Tie up the legs of these two men, throw them on the bullock cart, and we'll go to the town to seek justice."

Song Erhe sneered. Did they think everyone in Banyue Village was dead? If you dare to come, don't even think about leaving.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind the people in the neighboring Liujia Village and Wangjia Village that they are united in their efforts and should not try to come up with any bad ideas.

The two men were tied up and thrown into a car. Some villagers thought they were too noisy, so they used rags they found from somewhere to cover their mouths.

"Don't be afraid, Aning. We will all go and testify for you."

"Yes, the bamboo shoots are sold, and there's nothing to do at home, so let's go."

"go!"

It takes at least an hour to walk from the village to the town. But this group of people didn't mind being tired at all, they just wanted to seek justice for Song An Ning.

These children have a hard life and cannot be bullied anymore.

I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the county magistrate to be impartial and make sure the evildoers receive the punishment they deserve.

Song Anning was touched and knew that they could do this because she helped everyone sell bamboo shoots.

However, they can just ignore it, watch the fun and say a few words.

Ordinary people risked their lives to help her vent her anger.

This kind of thought is rare.

An hour later, Song An Ning finally saw the gate of Ping'an Town. This was her first time walking to the town. Pan and Wang Gen'er were lying on the ox cart, struggling and squirming.

However, they were tied with a cow knot, which is a special knotting method used in the village to tie pigs and other livestock. The more they struggled, the tighter it became. After a while, the two were exhausted and could only gasp and glare at Song An Ning fiercely.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw so many people entering the city, they hurried forward to ask.

But their attitude was not bad, if for no other reason than that they had seen today that the people leading the way had a close relationship with Manager Zhao of Zuixianju, and the number of people who could be personally greeted by Manager Zhao could be counted on one hand.

This group of people are very good at reading people's expressions, otherwise they wouldn't even realize they've offended someone.

"Uncle, what's all this fuss about?"
