Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Bai stop.

If the fighting continues, Lin Jianguo might really lose his life.

Yang Bai grabbed Lin Jianguo and coldly cursed, "You're a beast! I'm handing you over to the Party Secretary for punishment!"

The brigade headquarters had already closed for the night, so it was impossible to send it there.

They could only be taken to Ma Hou's house first, where he would decide the verdict.

Yang Bai casually tossed Lin Jianguo into the back of the tricycle.

Zhang Ning, sitting in the back seat, said, "Yang Bai, I'll go with you."

"OK."

Yang Bai pushed off with his foot and rode his tricycle toward Ma Hou's house, with the villagers following behind him.

The lights were still on in Ma Hou's house, and Ma Hou was eating with a bowl in his hand.

Hearing a commotion outside, he quickly went out.

Looking up, I saw Yang Bai riding a tricycle with Zhang Ning sitting on it.

In the back compartment lay Lin Jianguo, his face bruised and swollen from the beating, followed by a large group of villagers.

Ma Hou frowned, put down the rice in his hand, and walked over to Yang Bai.

"Yang Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Bai took Lin Jianguo off the car and threw him on the ground.

"Lin Jianguo got drunk and harassed respectable women."

Ma Hou glanced at Lin Jianguo, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew what he had done.

The women he harassed when he was drunk were either in their fifties or sixties, or at least in their thirties or forties.

But he always used being drunk as an excuse.

The women were also afraid that he would retaliate when he woke up, so they never took action against him.

"Who are you flirting with?"

Ma Houwang looked to his fellow villagers.

Zhang Ning mustered his courage and raised his hand.

"He came to the medical station drunk and harassed me. The patients and doctors present can all testify to this!"

The people at the medical station nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ning turned to look at his fellow villagers.

"Ladies, Lin Jianguo's arrogance has a long history."

If we dare not speak out now, he will only become more and more unscrupulous in the future.

In the future, one of us might be violated by this beast. By the time things get serious, it will be too late!

So comrades, stand up bravely! Let's join hands and put him in jail!

Her standing up today is not enough to punish this beast.

Only when other women in the village who have suffered the same fate stand up together can he be severely punished!

The woman hiding behind the crowd went from initial hesitation to now mustering her courage.

The first woman who had been sexually assaulted came forward.

"That beast pinched my butt while I was working! Someone can vouch for me!"

The first person stepped forward, then the second and the third... until finally Ma Hou announced it directly via broadcast.

The women who had been sexually assaulted by Lin Jianguo all came forward.

When Lin Jianguo woke up, his face was ashen and his eyes were filled with extreme fear. He shook his head vigorously in denial.

"No, I absolutely have not touched that many women, no!"

If a joint complaint is filed, he will spend his entire life in jail.

A woman with a build as big as a wild boar and wearing pigtails ran out of the crowd, crying.

She was Zhang Daya, the fattest girl in the village, who was still unwanted at twenty-eight.

She was holding two large scallions and pointing them at Lin Jianguo.

"Secretary Ma, it was him, who took my virginity in the cornfield a month ago. Waaah!"

The onlookers were dumbfounded; Lin Jianguo was truly hungry and could eat anything.

Then an old woman came out.

"He did this and that to me too, he even knocked out my dentures."

Everyone almost threw up. They thought Lin Jianguo was just a pervert, but they didn't expect him to be a weirdo as well.

Lin Jianguo shook his head, "No, nothing of the sort!"

Actually, he didn't know whether he had gone or not, because when he drank heavily, he would sometimes lie in the cornfield or on the road.

He doesn't remember clearly.

But to ask him to admit that he slept with a fat woman, an old, toothless woman.

My life is ruined.

Zhang Ning said seriously to Secretary Ma.

"Whether it's true or not, Secretary Ma, we still need you to provide the complaint letter. We victims all want to sign it. As for the rest, we can wait for the special envoy to investigate!"

Ma Hou nodded, turned around and went back into the house, tore off a piece of paper, took out the inkpad, and handed it to Zhang Ning.

"You can write the words, so I'll give them to you. Then everyone will put their red handprints on them."

Zhang Ning took the items, filled out the form, and began the registration process.

Every woman who had been injured stepped forward to register, and soon the entire sheet of paper was covered with names and red handprints.

The villagers were talking about it.

"Lin Jianguo is a real beast. Today someone has finally taught him a lesson."

"If you have money, you can drink at official brothels; if you don't, you can bully women in the village. You deserve it."

"He's really messed up now. Who told him to offend Yang Bai's second wife?"

"Yang Bai's second wife also looks gentle and weak, but she has a very strong personality."

......

Once the registration was complete, Zhang Ning handed the neatly arranged list to Ma Hou with both hands.

Ma Hou took the list, glanced at it briefly, and gave instructions.

"Okay, tie Lin Jianguo up and drag him to the brigade's storeroom. We'll hand him over to the commune first thing tomorrow morning."

The security team members from the surrounding brigades didn't dare to delay. They immediately grabbed the thick hemp ropes they had prepared beforehand from the corner of the wall and rushed forward.

His eyes were filled with despair.

If it's discovered, there's no escaping it for ten years.

Before long, Lin Jianguo was tied up tightly and dragged into the storage room in the backyard of the brigade by two people.

Two security guards, each carrying a rifle, stood watch at the door, keeping a close watch without letting their guard down for even a moment.

Ma Hou, with his hands behind his back, asked, "Yang Bai, Zhang Ning, is there a problem with this ruling?"

The two shook their heads.

Yang Bai took half a step forward.

"Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Ma. It's getting late, so I'll take Ningning and head back now."

Once the incident was over, both the onlookers and the victims dispersed.

Yang Bai rode his tricycle steadily forward, with Zhang Ning sitting on the back, gently wrapping her arms around his broad back.

The cool and reassuring scent emanating from him calmed my turbulent emotions.

"Yang Bai, thank you."

Yang Bai turned around and smiled, his tone resolute.

"You're my wife, if I don't protect you, who else should I protect?"

Zhang Ning gently rubbed her cheek against his warm back, a deep sense of loss welling up in her eyes, and murmured softly.

"It's a pity...we're already divorced, and we never had a child."

She felt a pang of regret. If she had known that Yang Bai would become so reliable, she would never have let go back then.

She longed to be like Wanqiu, to have a child of their own and to live a peaceful life together.

The dirt road was bumpy, and the wheels made a soft, grinding sound as they rolled over the sand and gravel. The sound of the wind mixed with the sound of the car, completely drowning out her whispers.

"Ningning, what did you just say?" Yang Bai asked casually, not having heard clearly.

Like a startled rabbit, Zhang Ning immediately loosened her arms and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, let's go home."

When she leaned against Yang Bai's back again, she saw his red, scabbed fist.

"Yang Bai, you got injured while fighting that beast. Turn around and go to the medical station; I'll treat you!"
