“Leave, all of you leave!”

“A group of ingrates, each one worse than the last. When Fushun Tower was thriving, you all refused to leave. Now that Fushun Tower has fallen on hard times, you can’t wait to abandon ship and fly to better shores. Shameless!” Feng Yongkang was full of resentment, throwing his broom and apron to the ground and stomping on them with fury.

You are all worthless!

Get out, go far away from here!

Everybody pushes a falling wall; even the lowest tries to bully him!

Despicable, utterly despicable!

And the culprits who got him in this mess are just a few individuals!

Chai Zhengzhen, Zhang Yongchang, and that wretched girl Zhuang Qingning, I’ll deal with you all yet!

Feng Yongkang clenched his fists.

All the workshops are working in an orderly manner.

Awhile ago, Mrs. Qian had stolen broth from the tofu shop and sold it for money, only to be punished by the county magistrate and ordered to compensate Zhuang Qingning ten taels of silver. The news of this incident gradually spread throughout the village.

The villagers who heard about this incident were all extremely angry.

Even though the tofu shop belongs to Zhuang Qingning, who gets the lion’s share of the profits, because she operates so many workshops, everyone in the village benefits. However, selling the goods to outsiders, allowing them to compete with Zhuang Qingning, threatens the livelihoods of all the villagers who earn their living by working there.

Everyone understood Mrs. Qian’s selfishness, and their anger at her only deepened.

Some honest villagers even went to Mrs. Qian’s house to curse her.

The disgraced Qian family had no choice but to pack up their belongings, sell their house and farmland, and return to Mrs. Qian’s maternal home overnight. Although Mrs. Qian was punished and compensated Zhuang Qingning, the villagers were still angry about her deceitful behavior and worried that more people might follow in her footsteps. They vowed that if anyone else did such a foolish thing, they would no longer report it to the authorities but would break the culprit’s legs themselves.

Zhuang Jingye frowned deeply at their words.

Breaking legs and arms sounded violent. If people from other villages heard about it, wouldn’t they say that his village had barbaric customs? And then, what about the marriage prospects of the young men and women in the village? Everyone was just so thoughtless.

Breaking their arms or legs would just be an inconvenience for a few days, would that actually teach them a lesson?

Take that bastard Zhuang Ruman. Even after he was stabbed with a manure fork, he only rested for a few days before returning to his old ways, didn’t he?

So, you see, it’s not enough just to break their legs, you have to beat them within an inch of their lives without actually killing them. Beating them to death would require compensation, but leaving them half-dead would not entail any penalty and would still teach them a lesson.

But even if you beat them half-dead, you don’t need to announce it publicly, as this would only make the village appear barbaric.

That’s not good at all.

You should just keep things under wraps and handle matters discreetly.
