After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 193: Beat it up with a rake

Shen Dagou immediately pointed at the wall of Shen Yi's house and shouted, "Niu Peng's blood is still smeared over there! He has irrefutable evidence, he deserves what he got! We all saw Xiong Kai attack Sister Su Tai, he can't deny it! His wife just gave birth and he thinks he's so great? Sister Su Tai was so scared that she went into premature labor. Luckily, Sister Su Tai is blessed, and both mother and child are safe. Otherwise, Xiong Kai would die ten thousand times over!"

Huang Xinghua was shocked when her son said such a thing. She was startled at first, but then felt a sense of relief. Especially when she saw the villagers' surprised looks, she straightened her back even more.

Enraged, Ding lost her temper, chasing after Shen Dagou and spitting on him repeatedly, yelling, "Who are you? What business is it of yours? Mind your own business!"

Shen Ying was furious, "Shrew! Shrew!"

At this moment, Han came out holding a wooden stick, glaring fiercely at Ding. "He can't control it, but I can! You shameless old hag, I didn't beat you to death last time, and you've only emboldened yourself! Husband, come out here! Beat them to death! I'll take the blame!"

When Ding saw Han, her expression changed and she began to back down. When Han rushed towards her regardless of the consequences, she was so frightened that she ran away with her head in her hands.

Xiong Dao wanted to protect his mother, but Shen Liang and Shen Dagou stepped forward immediately and stopped the outsider who wanted to make a move.

The Xiong and Niu families could only watch helplessly as the Han family beat up the Ding family.

The Niu family members, who had originally intended to continue their antics, were genuinely frightened and hurriedly got up from the ground, starting to play the victim.

"Sister, I know that Xiong Kai was wrong in this matter. I will definitely discipline him properly in the future. Can you please be lenient and spare him this time? He is my only son. If he is gone, I don't want to live anymore. Waaah!" Niu cried pitifully.

Han hit Ding with the stick again, then turned and glared angrily at Niu, "Your son ambushed a pregnant woman in the middle of the night, why don't you say you should discipline him properly? My daughter is alright because she's lucky, but your son has only himself to blame for what he's going through! This kind of cancer should die so he can stop harming others!"

The villagers had initially felt some sympathy, but upon hearing Han's words, they instantly sobered up. Yes! Xiong Kai could even prey on pregnant women; who knew what other heinous things he might do? They weren't as lucky as Su; if they really encountered him, they would lose their lives!
In an instant, everyone started talking at once again, criticizing Xiong Kai and Niu Shi.

Niu Peng's mother was clever; seeing that Niu Shi couldn't gain any advantage, she hid in the back early to minimize her presence.

Niu lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment in them. When she looked up again, she had that pitiful look on her face. She knelt down and kowtowed to Han, pleading, "Please forgive him this time. I promise, if he dares to do anything bad again, I will break his legs and make sure he can't even leave the house. Please, I beg you."

Han and Su Chunlin remained unmoved.

Niu refused to give up on her son and remained kneeling there.

With the two sides deadlocked, Shen Yi returned.

Shen Ying stepped forward and quickly explained the situation to him.

All eyes were on Shen Yi.

He calmly walked to his door and said to the people staring at him expectantly, "We have already reported this to the authorities, and the magistrate has accepted the case. There is absolutely no possibility of a private settlement. You don't need to waste your time here with me. The magistrate will make a fair judgment on right and wrong. Just wait for the result." "How could you be so heartless! Your father was such a kind person, how could he have given birth to such a cold-blooded and ruthless son! You really are a jinx, a jinx!" Niu was heartbroken, her vision went black, and she fainted.

"Hey! You old hag, who are you calling names! Don't think you can get away with playing dead. Explain yourself!" Su Chunlin was so angry that he jumped up and down, and was about to rush forward to confront Niu Shi.

Shen Yi grabbed him and said, "Forget it, father-in-law, there's no need to reason with that kind of person. Let's go inside."

Seeing that Shen Yi had closed the door, leaving no room for negotiation, Niu Peng's mother was extremely anxious. She stepped forward and grabbed Niu Youfu's sleeve, "Husband, what should we do? Our son has been arrested and taken to the county government office. You have to think of something quickly!"

Niu Youfu angrily shoved his wife away, "What can I do? You've spoiled our son rotten. He's idle all day, hanging out with a bunch of bad friends. I told you he'd get into trouble sooner or later. Now I'm at my wit's end. Do whatever you want!"

The ox walked away blissfully.

Niu Peng's mother burst into tears and chased after her husband.

Niu Cuihua looked at her departing elder brother and then at her unconscious younger sister. She didn't know what to do and quickly called her husband for help.

With the Niu family gone, the Xiong family's eldest branch also withdrew, and the farce came to an end.

As dusk settled, Shen Yi hung up all the lanterns in the courtyard, even a few in the quiet neighboring house, and then went out to patrol twice before returning to the courtyard.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Su Chunlin couldn't help but feel a little sad. "Hey! Don't look anymore, it's very safe. Now that Niu Peng and Xiong Kai are so badly injured, I doubt anyone in the surrounding area will dare to mess with your family again."

Shen Yi slowly nodded and sat down, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue. "Luckily, my parents-in-law were here today, otherwise Xiaotai would probably have been anxious again when they came to make a scene."

With a loud "smack!", Madam Han slammed her hand on the table. "Just thinking about them makes me angry! It was clearly those two bastards' fault, but in their mouths, it's become that we're being unreasonable! Bah! How could we let those scoundrels get away with it? They deserved to die! If you ask me, you shouldn't have sent them to the clinic. Let them die first. Anyway, if the authorities came, we would still be in the right. Now that we've spared their lives, we're being accused of being cold-blooded and heartless!"
"Your father shouldn't have saved that good-for-nothing from the Xiong family. He should have let him die in the water. A whole family of ungrateful wretches, and they even call you cold-blooded! I think they deserved it!"

Seeing that Madam Han was so angry, Shen Yi quickly comforted her, "Mother-in-law, my father probably didn't think that much when he saved people. Please don't be angry. Xiong Kai lost his manhood to our dog, so he'll be like that from now on. He probably won't be able to do any heavy work, and it will be impossible for him to take revenge."

"Serves you right!" Han felt much better and didn't continue talking about it.

The next day, Shen Yi and Su Tai discussed it, and Su Tai went to a bakery and ordered 20,000 virtual coins worth of cakes and bread. Shen Yi gave these things to the villagers to thank them for their help over the past two days. In addition to the bread and cakes, those who had put in a lot of effort also received extra brown sugar and some cotton fabric.

The family who received the gift was overjoyed.

Huang Xinghua was overjoyed. "I knew Shen Yi and his wife were generous people. Look at them! We only helped them with a small thing, and they gave us food and fabric. There are four portions of fabric, with festive colors and thick material. It feels softer than fine linen outside. It's definitely not cheap. If we tailor it well, we can make new clothes for Mother and the children. It just so happens that Da Gou is getting married in early November, so we can even save money on buying fabric."
