My Loyal and Lovely Husband

There is no need for Jin Weiwei to hype the whole thing up. The head of the village decides to go to Butcher Feng’s home to find evidence immediately. Although Butcher Feng is extremely unwilling to lead them to his home, he cannot change anything but to obey. Thus, a large group of people are on the move to his home.

At the door of his house, he is so disturbing that he shouts angrily and loudly, “Open the door!” On the way to his home, he keeps thinking whether he left some evidence in his home. Luckily, he just made one sausage; therefore, no evidence was left except that someone saw him on the bank of the river.

“You devil! Why do you shout at me! I am not deaf!” His wife Li curses when she comes to the door and opens it.

When the door opens, Jin Weiwei leans sideways, trying to rush in immediately. She wants to be the first one to find out the evidence. However, Li blocks her way. “Ah! What are you doing?”

“The head of the village asked me to find out the evidence!” Jin Weiwei knows that there is no reason to break in the room, so she tells Li that she just obeys the order of the head of village.

“Evidence? What evidence?” Li pretends that she doesn’t know anything. She knows that the truth will come to light when she sees Butcher Feng with a pale face is standing among those villagers at the door.

“The evidence of your making croton seed sausage to harm people!”

“You… you… you lie!” Li stammers immediately. Seeing that, Jin Weiwei is sure that they are guilty and the evidence must be hidden in the room. “Don’t worry Mrs. Feng. We will know the truth after searching your room. If there’s no evidence, we certainly will not wrong you.”

Hearing that the head of the village also wants to search their room, Li is in panic, because on the sunning ground of their backyard are the croton seeds left yesterday. Then, she blocks the way of those villagers and cries loudly. Seeing that, people realize that they must go in and search, because they are quite certain something must be hidden behind.

The head of the village frowns with anger because no one in the Xingtian village dares to challenge his authority. Li goes off the rail for her disobedience of his order. “Go!” With the order of the head, people rush into the room. Li is pushed to the ground, where she lies in the dirt. However, no one pays attention to her. “The croton seeds! Finally!” Very soon, someone finds these croton seeds put under the sunshine in the backyard.

Hearing that, Butcher spread on the ground with a splash. He points to Li and shouts, “You foolish! Haven’t I already asked you to throw the croton seeds to the back of the mountain?” Li says tearfully with her nose running, “That’s all because we lack money, caused by the failure of our business. We don’t have enough money to live on. I wanted to sell these croton seeds to the pharmacy, so…”

“Ah! You are so stupid!” Butcher Feng is so angry that he can’t say anything, while Li, his wife, is terribly regretful. But it is too late. When villagers throw the croton seeds in front of them, they can say nothing.

Before the head of the village says something, Jin Weiwei rushes to the couple, burying her face into her hands and pretending to be sorrowful and unbelievable. “It’s out of my imagination that you two did the whole thing! Why you keep bullying a weak girl like me again and again? Why do you constantly want to kill me? Why do you always want to ruin the reputation of my meat shop?”

“What a shame! You always aimed at Miss Jin. What a profound hatred !”

“I don’t think they have any grudge against Miss Jin. They are so nasty and vicious that they want to plunder the meat shop of Jin’s family.”

“That’s right! I think so. Don’t you know that Butcher Feng had an affair with Cao years ago? Certainly, he is not in good faith!” “We must punish him severely!”

Burying her face into her hands and pretending to cry, Jin Weiwei observes those villagers through the space between her fingers. She intends to arouse sympathy from the public, so that they will support her. This time, she will never let Butcher Feng and his wife go easily. The head of the village is very angry for the poisoning.

People living in Xingtian Village have always been getting along with one another harmoniously. For years, nothing serious like poisoning has happened in this village except for some scandals concerning some men and women.

“Quiet!” The head of the village raises his voice and speaks loudly in order to quiet the discussion of villagers.

“For generations, people living in our Xingtian Village are all honest and kind. There’s no villain in our village. Till now, I still can’t believe that the couple of Butcher Feng poisoned others and fabricated a charge against Miss Jin, which really disgraces our village!” The head of the village shakes his head with a very regretful look.

“Shameless! Shame on you!” “Drive them away!” All the villagers begin to shout angrily. The head of the village raises his hand to quiet the villagers and continues, “Actually, last time when Butcher Feng hid the plague of his sheep intentionally, I should have driven them away. At that time, I thought that it was the first time for him to harm others, and they pretended to be regretful for his wrongdoing, so I forgave him. However, I can’t believe that my sympathy for them nearly killed Wang.”

“Grandpa, it can’t be your fault. It is Butcher Feng who took advantage of your kindheartedness.” Jin Weiwei interrupted the head of the village. “It is never too late to punish them! We have already seen through them. They are so vicious and evil. We can’t let them live with us, never!”

The head of the village coughs and clears his throat and says, “Yes!” With his peaceful and slow voice, the head of the village announces, “Investigation revealed the misconduct of Butcher Feng and his wife Li. The first thing is that Butcher Feng has affairs with Cao, which tarnishes the reputation of our village. The second thing is that Butcher Feng hid the plague of his sheep on purpose, and continued to sell the mutton to the villagers. Now the worst thing is they poisoned Wang with croton seeds sausage and intended to shift the blame to Miss Jin, which can never be forgiven. From now on, the meat shop of Feng’s family should be shut down. Butcher Feng and his wife Li should be driven away from Xingtian Village within three days, and will never be allowed to return.” Hearing that, all the villagers clapped for approval.

Jin Weiwei is very delighted to hear that. However, when she thinks of what Butcher Feng has done to her, she feels so angry and aggrieved that only driving them away from the village is far from relieving her hatred. “Grandpa, Wang was seriously ill only because of these two villains. He almost died for that illness. In order to save his life, I have to use the pill of great value from my ancestors. Shouldn’t we be compensated for that?” The head of the village nods as he strokes his beard. “That’s reasonable. You are supposed to be compensated for this misfortune. Butcher Feng, you check your family property immediately, and 1/3 of your property is for Jin Weiwei, 1/3 for Wang, and 1/3 is for your future living.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“The village head, where should we go? The village is the place where we have lived for generations!” Pulling the sleeve of the head village, Butcher Feng is very regretful with a flood of tears.

Jin Weiei is quite worried that the head village will be soft-hearted and forgives them. She approaches the head village immediately, and quickly pulls away the hand of the Butcher Feng. She says, “You go wherever you want! Never come back to the village to harm others!”

“The village head.” Butcher Feng still has something to say. Holding the crane, the village head knocks the ground heavily and says, “if you don’t go now, I will send you couple to the government!”

The Butcher Feng and his wife are stunned immediately, because they know that they will receive an even more severe punishment. Thus, they shut their mouth, and accept the result.
