Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Shameless Retaliation (4)_1

Mo Yan was also tired of the nonsense, but facing such rascals, other than giving them a good thrashing and threatening them to stop causing trouble, what else could she do?

However, if someone really gave the Wang Family a brutal beating, probably the whole village would know it was her doing. If the Wang Family clung to the issue and wouldn’t let it go, it would just become even more entangled.

Hearing this, others felt even more that the Wang Family was detestable and wished they could spend some silver to invite the government officials to arrest them and lock them away for good, so they couldn’t harm anyone ever again.

Just as everyone was in distress, Tang Xin suddenly spoke up, "Why don’t we let Xiao Hua Dabai go scare the Wang Family at night? The Wang Family raises quite a few chickens. If we kill a few but don’t take them away, when the villagers find out, they will think it’s the Wang Family who brought this upon themselves by committing too many evil deeds. I think the Wang Family would surely be cautious! And if once isn’t enough, we’ll do it a few more times. Once the Wang Family is scared out of their wits, they definitely won’t dare to come and make trouble again."

"Good, this idea is good. Big sister, let’s do it this way!" Zhenzhen clapped her hands in excitement, the first to agree out loud. The Wang Family was too annoying, and killing a few of their chickens was like taking revenge.

Xin Er and the others also looked at Mo Yan. Although they didn’t speak, the expression on their faces clearly showed they agreed with Tang Xin’s suggestion.

Facing the eager gaze of the little ones, Mo Yan did not agree to their wishes and simply sent them off to play.

Seeing this, the children were extremely disappointed but no one dared to contradict her and left dejectedly.

Mo Yan found it amusing and just shook her head without saying anything. The little ones’ sense of right and wrong had not yet formed. If she had agreed in front of them, later, if they had disputes with others, they might act recklessly, relying on the family’s fierce beasts, which would not be good.

...

The next day, a major incident concerning the Wang Family spread through the entire Liu Yang Village at lightning speed, and the villagers started discussing it as soon as they left the Wang Family’s proximity:

"Huh, it really is bizarre. That wild beast came down from the mountains and only attacked the Wang Family’s chickens, without even dragging them away to eat. I wonder if it’s the same big cat that Wang Dali and his men provoked when they went up the mountain last time."

"It shouldn’t be, but the Wang Family really has some rotten luck. They kept chickens for laying eggs, and now they’re destroyed by a wild animal."

"It would be one thing if just a few chickens died, at most it’s a loss of some silver. But those dead chickens were neatly placed at the entrance of the Wang Family, heads facing west at that. Not to mention the bad omen, who knows if there’s something worse coming!"

"Hmph, do you really think those chickens were harmed by a wild beast? If it were really a wild beast, would it place the dead chickens like that? Maybe the Wang Family offended some deity and is now being punished!"

Everyone listening felt a chill run up their spines at the eerie events at the Wang Family. Despite all their speculating, they couldn’t figure out what exactly killed the chickens, and they harbored another layer of concern in their hearts.

"If the Wang Family had really offended a deity and this was retribution, that’s one thing, but if it was a wild animal from the mountains, who knows if it will come back? If it does, we don’t know if our chickens will be spared."

"It probably won’t. If it was a wild animal, why would it only attack the Wang Family’s chickens in such a way? I’m telling you, it has to be because the Wang Family committed too many sins, and now they are being taught a lesson by God!"

"Exactly, exactly. Even if it was a wild beast, it must be one with intelligence. As long as we don’t offend it, it probably won’t bother us. We just need to be more careful going into the mountains from now on, and avoid provoking those creatures."

Listening to this, everyone nodded. The fear and worry they held in their hearts about the wild beasts slowly dissipated.

Zhenzhen and Yun Zhao wandered around the village for a while, their ears filled with all sorts of guesses, before excitedly holding hands and running back to tell their family, their words not without a hint of Schadenfreude for the Wang Family’s misfortune.

In the end, Zhenzhen looked at her big sister with admiring eyes and cautiously asked, "Big sister, did you have Xiao Hua do it?"

Mo Yan, her hands deftly making dumplings, didn’t even lift her head as she replied, "You think too much. Xiao Hua wouldn’t know to place those dead chickens with their heads facing west."

Zhenzhen, not convinced, pouted, "The three beasts are very smart. If you had told them, they definitely could’ve done it."

Mo Yan, too lazy to deal with him, sent him off to the study to read and practice his characters.

Without a definitive answer, Zhenzhen wanted to ask again when Yun Zhao pulled him away.

Xin Er, while rolling out the dough, quietly asked Mo Yan, "Sister, it was Xiao Hua who did it, right?"

Aunt Lixiu’s nephew and Tang Xin also pricked up their ears to listen.

A smile appeared at the corner of Mo Yan’s lips. She neither confirmed nor denied but thought to herself that she would reward Mao Tuan with a roast chicken that night.

Leaving aside the fiery discussions in the village, after such an ominous and terrifying incident, the Wang Family themselves were scared out of their wits. They were busy finding wood to make chicken coops, preparing to lock the chickens that they kept in an open outbuilding into the coops and place them in the main hall of the house. They were no longer concerned about causing trouble at the Mo Family.

Yang Bao, worried that a wild animal from the mountains had entered the village and harmed the Wang Family’s chickens, personally visited the Wang Family. He looked around, but couldn’t find even a single footprint of a wild animal, leaving him momentarily uncertain whether it was indeed the work of a wild creature.

Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, he decided to reorganize the patrol team, which had been disbanded two days earlier, and strengthen the nightly patrols.

As the New Year was only a couple of days away and no wild animals had previously broken into the village, the patrol team that had been formed dissolved. The dozen or so local dogs that had been driven away by Xiao Hua had also returned to their own homes. With the Wang Family’s incident, nobody blamed the Mo Family for any of it.
