Chapter 77 -77: Wild Brother is Back_1
When Wang Dachuan was abruptly awakened by a mouthful of spit, he saw nothing but a dense swarm of torches in the night.
At first, he thought he was dreaming, but upon closer look, he recognised the faces by the torched light.
There was the village chief, Uncle Lan, and the eldest of the Zhou family…
In the past, Wang Dachuan got away with harassing widows, as they dared not speak out about his antics.
As a result, Wang Dachuan grew increasingly brazen.
However, now several girls had come forward to testify, confirming that Wang Dachuan had tried to molest Zhou Dongdong.
With both eyewitness and physical evidence against him, there was no getting away this time.
Furthermore, the eldest of the Zhou family was not to be trifled with.
His daughter had been wronged, so he naturally wouldn’t sit idly by.
He strongly pressured the village chief to banish Wang Dachuan from the village.
Banishing someone from the village was a simple process.
As long as the village elders unanimously agreed, Wang Dachuan could receive a measure of public grain and three taels of silver before being forbidden to ever set foot in the village again.
In the Great Jin dynasty, this practice was entirely legal.
Wang Dachuan was an orphan, and nobody felt sorry to see him go.
Especially the widows he had harassed, who felt that his banishment brought great satisfaction.
However, they did not anticipate the eventual trouble this situation would bring.
But that was a matter for the future.
…
After Wang Dachuan’s incident, Nan Quanyou stopped allowing Nan Feng to go up the mountain to gather herbs.
Aqiu, Zhou Dongdong, and a few others were also forbidden from doing so.
The whole village was currently discussing Wang Dachuan’s issue, and even though Nan Feng and the others had not been violated, their reputation could be tarnished if they continued to go up the mountain.
Heeding Nan Quanyou’s advice, Nan Feng decided to avoid the mountain for now, at least until the matter quieted down.
…
Nan Feng counted her remaining silver, just enough to buy two beds.
She always believed in spending when she had money, and working hard to earn when she didn’t.
She saw no point in saving money, so she promptly went to the town’s timber shop to buy two beds.
Her father and her were overjoyed at the thought of new beds.
They quickly cleared out their old wooden beds that they had slept on for over a decade, intending to chop them up for firewood.
Once the new beds were set up, Nan Feng sat on hers, inhaling the faint scent of the timber.
She bounced on the bed a few times.
It was wonderful — very sturdy and none of the creaking noises.
Now their home had new beds, new table and chairs, and new clothes in the wardrobe.
Nan Feng loved the feeling of seeing her home transform little by little by her own hands.
She sorted the quilts before heading to the yard to chop firewood, only to find Nan Quanyou hunkered down by the water tank washing some cabbage.
Nan Feng remembered that they did not grow cabbage in their vegetable field.
So she casually asked: “Dad, who gave us this cabbage?”
Nan Quanyou seemed quite pleased,”It’s from Yege.”
“Yege is back?” Nan Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and the axe she held almost fell on her own foot.
“You didn’t know?” Nan Quanyou was surprised, “I saw him watering the vegetables in the afternoon.
His cabbage just happened to be ready, so he gave me some.”
Nan Feng couldn’t quite describe her feelings at that moment.
She was joyful that Yege was finally back, yet also annoyed that he didn’t inform her about his return.
She quickly reasoned though, that Yege was just a friend and owed her no such courtesy.
She picked up the axe and chopped the wood with all her might.
The old bed slats quickly turned into chips under her swings.
…
The next day, Nan Feng woke up early and saw Nan Quanyou heading out with a water bucket.
She quickly asked, “Dad, are you going to water the vegetables?”
Nan Quanyou responded, “Yeah, why?”
Nan Feng hurriedly said, “Leave the bucket, I’ll go.” frёewebηovel.cѳm
Recalling Nan Quanyou said he ran into Yege at vegetable field yesterday, she wondered if she might have such luck today?
She wanted to see him but was reluctant to appear too eager.
Her only option was to create a coincidental encounter.
