The Vicious Man

But the more he hid from Huang Sigou, the more proud he became, he felt itchy in his heart when he saw Zhang Lanhua’s fair face, and always used past events to threaten Zhang Lanhua, causing Zhang Lanhua to not only lose all the affection she had for him but also to hate this rogue.

    He knew that his husband still remembered what happened in the past, and after being beaten by his man again, he made up his mind to completely resolve the issue of Huang Sigou.

　　The last time Zhang Xiu told him about his meeting with Huang Sigou, Zhang Lanhua felt uneasy. He thought Zhang Xiu had discovered something, and he not only hated Zhang Xiu but also Tang Chunming, the cause of the incident. Tang Chunming was living a more comfortable life, without any of the sorrow like other widows, and he even hooked up with an unmarried man in the shortest time.

　　Although there were a lot of rumors outside, Zhang Lanhua heard that although Li Feng looked fierce, he was a man who loved his ger. Zhang Lanhua thought about his own situation. The two men he met were crooks and his scoundrel husband often beat him so hard that he couldn’t get out of bed. Why could Tang Chunming live better than him? How was he, Zhang Lanhua, be worse than him? he was also the most outstanding ger in the village.

　　To be honest, ger’s jealousy was really groundless,  the more he heard about what Tang Chunming had done, the more he wanted to destroy him. So when Huang Sigou came to him again, he gave Huang Sigou the idea to kill two or even three birds with one stone. He gave Huang Sigou a condition, as long as Huang Sigou did it, he would not have to worry about not having gers marry him, and he could also use the huge amount of money as he pleased.

   That was to sneak into Tang Chunming’s house in the middle of the night and force himself onto Tang Chunming. Anyway, Tang Chunming and Li Feng had not officially settled down yet, and no matter what was spread by outsiders, it would not be as good as Tang Chunming’s admitting to it.

　　By then, Tang Chunming would have no choice but to submit to Huang Sigou, a rogue, and Zhang Lanhua would have eliminated the threat posed by Huang Sigou. Moreover, he might even be able to get the secret of Tang Chunming’s wealth from Huang Sigou. As for whether the forced Tang Chunming lived or died, what did it have to do with Zhang Lanhua?

　　To help Huang Sigou act smoothly, he also told Huang Sigou about the situation in Tang Chunming’s yard. How could Zhang Lanhua know that? On the day Li Feng bought the pony, many people followed him into the yard to see the novelty, and Zhang Lanhua was among them. The scenes in the two yards made him even more jealous.

　　Huang Sigou forgot his fear of Li Feng when Zhang Lanhua instigated him. Compared with the endless money, Li Feng was nothing. Moreover, he entered Tang Chunming’s yard in the middle of the night. If Tang Chunming refused to admit his relationship with him, he would not be able to stay in this village. He thought the same as Zhang Lanhua.

  Any ger would have to submit in such a situation because of his reputation, after snatching him, Li Feng would have no place to go.

　　They all thought it was a foolproof opportunity, but unexpectedly they fell into it as soon as they entered the yard. Huang Sigou also saw how cruel the villain Li Feng really was. If he had another chance he would never have listened to Zhang Lanhua’s instigation and provoked this villain.

　　All these came to light after the village head and Li Feng interrogated Huang Sigou at night. Tang Chunrong, a scholar, was so angry that he wanted to kill someone and wanted to catch Zhang Lanhua as well. However, the head of the village persuaded him that the matter could not be resolved in this way, otherwise, Tang Chunming’s reputation would be affected, and it would be better to punish Huang Sigou for wanting to steal instead of assaulting people.

　　As for Zhang Lanhua, such an evil ger certainly cannot be let off, if this matter is mentioned to the head of his family, Zhang Lanhua will never have a good ending.

　　Speaking of wanting to kill, no one can compare to Li Feng. Originally, he only wanted Huang Sigou for attempting to steal money, but he didn’t expect that he wanted both money and people. 

  As long as he thought about what Ming’ger might encounter, he won’t relieve his hatred by cutting Huang Sigou into pieces. But as the village head and Shen Fulang advised him, for the sake of Ming’ger’s reputation, it would be better not to publicize this matter. Even if it was publicized, Huang Sigou would not be punished more for it, but Ming’ger would be implicated.

    Li Feng would rather bear the reputation of a butcher than let Ming’ger be implicated. Although Ming’ger himself might not care, he could not help but consider it.

　　So Li Feng suppressed his hatred, but he could not easily let off Huang Sigou, including Zhang Lanhua. Expelling Huang Sigou from the village would be the lightest punishment, only when he left Pingshan Village would he realize that his suffering had just begun.

　　At the same time, he also decided not to tell Ming’ger the truth of the matter, there was no need for Ming’ger to know such dirty thoughts, so it was enough to convict Huang Sigou of the crime of theft at night.

　　When the man from Zhang Lanhua’s family came out of the village head’s house, everyone could see that he had an expression that wanted to eat someone. Even his steps were heavy, he ran home angrily, making people who saw him curious about what the village head had said to him.

    Could it be that his anger was related to his ger? Could his ger also be involved in Huang Sigou’s affairs?

　　When Tang Chunming woke up, Li Feng was already sitting at home, next to his Kang, staring at him intently.

　　Tang Chunming looked outside to see the weather and immediately felt embarrassed. He had slept until about ten o’clock in modern times, he touched his forehead and asked after realizing it, “Did A Rong go to school? By the way, what did the village head say about Huang Sigou? Was the vegetable field in the yard not trampled last night?”

　　”Don’t worry,” Li Feng touched Ming’ger’s hand, he was still a little scared after sitting here for most of the day. If it weren’t for Jingfeng’s alertness and cleverness, he couldn’t imagine what would happen to Ming’ger. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn’t let Huang Sigou off easily.

      Just expelling him from the village was a light punishment, seeing Ming’ger’s confused look, his heart softened. “I personally sent A Rong to school, he wanted to stay with you. You would be unhappy if I told you. Huang Sigou and his family have been escorted out of the village by the village head himself.”

 “And after this incident, we don’t have to worry about anyone breaking in again. But Jingfeng did trample part of the vegetable patch in the yard. Ming’ger, you won’t blame Jingfeng, will you?”

　　What Li Feng did in the morning was also intended to scare the monkeys. After seeing his ruthlessness, who would dare to have the same idea again? It would be better to treat him as vicious, just to make people afraid of him.

　　This was probably meant to tease him, Tang Chunming noticed that Li Feng’s teasing was getting frequent, so he said, “Jingfeng is a great contributor, how could I blame him? Not only that, I should reward him, get out of the way, I want to get up.”

　　Seeing that Ming’ger didn’t take what happened at night to heart, Li Feng felt relieved. He excused Ming’ger to put on his clothes while he went out to prepare food for him, he must be hungry after sleeping for so long.

　　Tang Chunming had enough energy to go to the yard after he had a full stomach. Fortunately, not many vegetable plots were damaged and they could all be replanted. Tang Chunming, with a bulging belly, walked to Jingfeng, patted the horse’s neck, and praised it.

    Of course, there was also Xiaohua, who bit a piece of meat off the bad guy’s butt and was also the hero of this incident. Tang Chunming decided to give them space spring water that had not been diluted with water as a reward for the next few days.

　　Jingfeng is very haughty to others, but it is different from his future master Tang Chunming. Every time he sees him coming, he can’t wait to stick his big head out and look at him with a pair of pure big eyes.

   This makes the children who have always wanted to get close to the majestic Jingfeng very envious, but there is nothing they can do because Jingfeng just ignores them when he is not accompanied by Uncle Feng.

　　Tang Chunming suspected that Jingfeng smelled the scent of the space, which was full of spiritual energy. Even Xiaohua and the others particularly liked the food in the space and were never picky about food.

　　Sometimes Tang Chunming would be mischievous on purpose to see how Jingfeng would react. After looking at it, he would deliberately turn around and leave without feeding it the food in the space.

    Of course, he failed to leave, and the clothes behind him were bitten by Jingfeng. Once, Li Feng saw this, he was frightened that he scolded Jingfeng, but why could Tang Chunming see an expression of grievance on a horse’s face? Feeling that he had done too much and felt a little guilty, Tang Chunming quickly fed Jingfeng more fruits from space after sending Li Feng away.

　　After feeding him so much, Tang Chunming began to frequently pretend that Li Feng couldn’t see. So he really assumed that Li Feng wasn’t aware and continued to do as he pleased.

　　Although he had eaten late, Tang Chunming still made lunch as usual, just as he was about to put lunch on the table, he heard a cat-like cry from outside. Li Feng brought A-Lin in from outside. He had already washed his hands and was ready to eat at the table.

　　”Mom, mom…” As usual, A-Lin reported to his mother his achievements this morning and what he did for Xiaoyun.

　　While praising A-Lin, Tang Chunming looked at Li Feng and asked, “Who is the child crying outside?” At this moment, he heard someone’s voice, which seemed to be saying something about sinning.

　　Li Feng frowned and said, “You take A-Lin to eat first, I’ll go outside to take a look.” Then he carried A-Lin to Ming’ger.

　　”Okay, go quickly and come back soon.” Tang Chunming waved his hand.

　　Tang Chunming had just finished eating and was not hungry yet, so he just picked up some vegetables to eat and mainly fed A-Lin. At the same time, he pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.

   After Li Feng went out, he seemed to be able to hear his voice, he was talking about the village head or something. After about a few minutes, the people outside dispersed, and the sound of Li Feng’s returning footsteps was heard.

　　When Li Feng came in, without Tang Chunming asking, Li Feng said with a slightly unhappy tone: “This Huang family is really… fortunately, the villagers made up their minds to drive them out this time, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble would have happened.”

　　”The Huang family? Could it be that the crying child outside is the Huang family’s grandson? Didn’t you say they were expelled from the village?” Tang Chunming asked in surprise.

　　“As soon as the village head left, they actually quietly abandoned the child on the roadside. Fortunately, a villager passing by saw the child and brought him back. Otherwise, the child might have been attacked by wild animals coming down from the mountains after a long time.” Li Feng was really disgusted with such people.

   They could even abandon their own grandson, such people really should be thrown into the battlefield to experience the inhumane methods of the northern barbarians.

　　Li Feng didn’t say anything, the people who were gathered outside just now wanted Ming’ger to decide on how to deal with the child. Li Feng gave them a cold look and were scared away. 

   What does this have to do with Ming Ge’er? Was it Ming’ger who drove the Huang family out of the village? Was it Ming Ge’er who asked the Huang family to throw the child away? Although the child is pitiful, the real culprit should be found, do they think Ming’ger is kind enough to raise this child?

　　Tang Chunming was dumbfounded, and found it incredible: “Isn’t there only one little grandson in their family? How could they be willing to throw him away? Or is Huang Sigou the only lifeblood of their family, and the others are just weeds?” 

   That’s the only third generation, not to mention that they treated him badly, but they were willing to throw him away. Do they really think that Huang Sigou can marry a good ger and give them a grandson they like in the future?

　　”What can’t their family do? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have raised a scoundrel like Huang Sigou.” Li Feng suppressed his anger and focused his energy on the two people in front of him. “Let’s eat, don’t worry about what’s happening outside. After dinner, I’ll go to the village head  and ask what to do.”

　　”Well, this child, ah, is really difficult to deal with.” Tang Chunming shook his head and sighed. This is not like the modern Earth where there are orphanages to send the child to. Such a child is more likely to be kidnapped and sold, and will definitely not have a good ending.

   Not to mention the cruelty of the old couple of the Huang family, even Huang Sigou, the biological father, would also abandon the child if he had tried to keep him.

　　Vicious people can’t be distinguished between city or country, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

　　Tang Chunming thought to himself that he should ask Li Feng to bring some food over after lunch. The one who had a grudge against him was the child’s elders, not the child. Of course, he couldn’t be so saintly as to regard this child as his responsibility.

　　After lunch, seeing Ming’ger’s attitude, Li Feng felt relieved, although the child was innocent, Li Feng was still a little angry. You know, the child’s father almost ruined Ming’ger. He was already turning a blind eye to allowing the child to enter Pingshan Village again, he didn’t want Ming’ger to think he was too cruel.

　　Li Feng left and Zhang Xiu came, bringing the latest news from the village.

　　Because Zhang Xiu had been with Tang Chunming, he did not know about the interrogation of Huang Sigou at the village head’s house, Dashan did not tell him the result of the interrogation. 

   He also thought that Huang Sigou was just after money, but it was enough to make him angry. He would only feel relieved after the expulsion of their family so that the village would be much safer if the family left.

　　”I never thought that the Huang family’s old couple usually pretended to be kind, but when they were cruel, no one could compare them. They threw the child away without hesitation and sent him to the village head’s house.

   When his uncle took a look at the child, he was surprised to see that the little boy was covered with wounds. He called Doctor Hu to take a look, but he scolded him and said that he had shown mercy at night and should have let Huang Sigou suffer more.”

　　”Did anyone say what to do with this child?” Tang Chunming had a feeling that this was not an easy problem to solve. If it was a boy, perhaps some family would want to adopt him. But for a ger, many families in the village, like the Huang couple and the Zhao family, valued boys over gers. In the eyes of most families, taking the child back would be a waste of food.

　　”Uncle is also having a headache, for the time being, he can only keep the child with him. Luckily, it’s only two of them in the family, and his two boys don’t come back often.” Zhang Xiu felt sorry for the child and couldn’t bear to see him even after taking a look at him.

　　”Forget it, I won’t tell you about these troubles.” Zhang Xiu felt that he shouldn’t bother Ming’ger with these things, so she talked about another thing. “You didn’t know, Zhang Lanhua was beaten by his husband again, many people went to see it and heard his husband saying that he wanted to divorce Zhang Lanhua.”

“My goodness, no matter how much they quarreled before, his husband never said such words. I don’t know what Zhang Lanhua did to offend his husband.”

　　Tang Chunming was speechless after hearing this, what were all these things that happened today? Pingshan Village was lively. He didn’t have either a good or bad  impression of Zhang Lanhua.

    He just remembered that Zhang Xiu had talking about Zhang Lanhua’s affairs, which led to him being beaten by his husband. From his point of view, it was difficult for him to say anything about this matter. Would he say that Zhang Xiu shouldn’t have said such things? That it was Zhang Lanhua’s scandal.

　　But he didn’t expect it would get to the point where they had to divorce, it was probably because Zhang Lanhua himself had done something worse. Did he Sympathize? Of course not. To him, they were all outsiders, and Zhang Lanhua and Wang Chunhua were close and probably had similar personalities. He had better things to do than to sympathize with such a person.

　　He shook his head and put the matter behind him, anyways what does it have to do with him?

　　However, Tang Chunming relaxed too quickly, what he didn’t expect was that Zhang Lanhua came to knock on his door in the afternoon with injuries all over his body. However, before Tang Chunming could see Zhang Lanhua, he was intercepted by Li Feng.

　　”You go into the house, I’ll ask him what’s the matter, why is he asking you to interfere in his family affairs?” Li Feng would not let Zhang Lanhua, this evil ger, get close to ming’ger.

 Who knows if he would do something to harm Ming’ger out of desperation? Li Feng was determined not to let Ming’ger face any danger.

　　Tang Chunming didn’t overthink about it and said, “You go ahead, I won’t go back to the house, I’ll go for a walk in the new yard.”

   When Doctor Hu came to take his pulse in the middle of the night, he specifically reminded him to move more, otherwise it would be bad during delivery, Tang Chunming didn’t know what expression to use at that time.

　　”Okay,” Doctor Hu told Li Feng the diagnosis when he went to the village head’s house at night, thinking that he must spend more time with Ming’ger in the future, “I’ll watch you go.”

　　Tang Chunming waved his hands and walked towards the new yard in a duck-like manner. He heard Zhang Lanhua’s voice outside: “Tang Chunming, come out here, let’s talk it out, what did I do to you…”

　　Tang Chunming looked back and his voice became weaker, in the end, he didn’t go over to see what was going on and Zhang Lanhua seemed to hate him so much.

   He couldn’t figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it, anyway, he had Li Feng. Now he felt that it was great to have someone like him to shield him from the outside world.

    Although he was not afraid of trouble, he would have to spend effort to solve the troubles. He was more suitable for eating, sleeping, and counting money.

　　Tang Chunming could already foresee that he would become more shameless in the future.
