Chapter 213 -214: The Suppressed Fury_1

Yu Ze had been hurrying back day and night, eager not to miss the two months deadline. Although he was already exhausted, the thought of seeing Muniang lightened his heavy body considerably.

Not wanting to attract too much attention, he avoided the crowded areas upon his return to the village. Otherwise, the local busybodies would surely hold him for a gossip session, and he was in a hurry to see his beloved wife!

Therefore, Yu Ze took a detour through the small grove of trees nearby where there were fewer people. Even though it was a longer route, quietness was also something to be treasured, wasn’t it?

As Yu Ze led his horse and walked briskly, he suddenly heard voices whispering not far away. They were the voices of several boys. He did not care to interfere at first but paused in his tracks when he heard the name “Qiao Muniang.”

“Hey, that Qiao Muniang’s stupid husband really ran off, huh? It’s been nearly two months with no sight of him. What kind of family visit takes this long?”

“Pfft, do you really believe that family visit story? That Qiao Muniang is just too embarrassed to admit the truth. Now, who in the village doesn’t know she’s been dumped by a man? If they weren’t certain that her man had left her, would her aunt be so anxious to arrange another man for her?” The voice was familiar, sharp, and mean—Qiao Dalang’s.

Another boy hurriedly said, “That’s true, but she actually drove away the man her aunt introduced to her, Chui Laicai. Does that mean she refuses to remarry? What a pity, she may be a bit fierce, but she’s quite a looker. I hadn’t really noticed before. This girl is so pretty, if you could marry her, it’d definitely be worth it.”

This instigated a burst of laughter, “You even think of marrying her? Didn’t you see her man has already run off? Be careful, she might beat you half to death every day.”

Yu Ze’s eyes grew cold, and his hand inside his sleeve clenched into a fist.

Qiao Dalang let out a sneer, “What’s she worth as a wife, that whore? She’s not remarrying now, but it’s just an act. When she gets lonely, she’ll seek out a man herself. With her looks, she’s got some charm; if you’re really interested, why marry her and suffer her temper? Just sleep with her a few times for fun.”

Thinking of Xia Bing, Qiao Dalang felt a sense of accomplishment and raised his head proudly, saying, “Such women, since there are no men in their family, if you really want to sleep with her, just trick her out and go at it. Women, at first they refuse, but once you’ve pleased them well enough, they’ll even beg for it. Even if she feels wronged, as an abandoned wife with an already poor reputation, would she dare tell anyone she’s been violated? Does she have any shame left?”

Qiao Dalang was speaking with flamboyant gestures, oblivious to the expressions of others. He suddenly noticed an eerie silence. Shouldn’t the boys be cheering him on? Looking at his companions, instead of excitement, their faces were rigid with deep fear in their eyes, staring fixedly behind him.

Qiao Dalang was confused and turned around dazedly. Before he could see the person clearly, he was kicked to the ground, the pain so intense it felt as if his insides were splitting apart. Just as he was about to curse, he raised his eyes to see Yu Ze’s deadly cold gaze, and he was so frightened he wet himself.

“What did you say?” The tone was chilling to the bone.

Qiao Dalang inexplicably recalled the time when Qiao Muniang had threatened to chop off his hand with a knife. He had thought he would never see a more intimidating look than Muniang’s, but to his surprise, there was someone even more twisted. Birds of a feather do flock together.

“I, I, I didn’t say anything!” Qiao Dalang stammered.

Yu Ze gave another kick, and Qiao Dalang was sent flying, crashing to the ground once more, his butt nearly splitting into eight pieces. His heart was filled with regret. Wasn’t this idiot supposed to have run away? Why did he have to come back? Why had he been the one to bump into him? It was like he had run into a streak of terrible luck that would last eight lifetimes!

Qiao Dalang didn’t dare say much else. He threw away all concerns for face and self-esteem, quickly kneeling on the ground and begging Yu Ze for mercy, “I was wrong, I was wrong. Everything I said was nonsense, it’s just me being lowly, unable to stand seeing others do well. I deserve to be beaten, I deserve it!”

A cold light remained in Yu Ze’s eyes, “Will you do it yourself or shall I?”

Qiao Dalang was stunned. He was really going to hit him! But where dared he say another word? This guy had not only killed tigers and black bears but also humans; he was too much for him to handle. He hurriedly responded, “I’ll do it myself, I’ll do it myself!”

Ignoring the pain in his body, he slapped his own face repeatedly, not daring to lessen the force one bit, afraid that Yu Ze might be even slightly dissatisfied.

Yu Ze had forcibly suppressed his own rage to avoid killing the man with a single slap, considering Muniang still needed to develop Tianzhuang and the mountain industries in Tupo Village. Killing someone from the village would be too shocking for the humble townsfolk and might provoke public anger. He feared such a move would make the village an unsuitable place to stay, which was why he had restrained his temper. Otherwise, Qiao Dalang might have been dead after that first kick.

However, Yu Ze hadn’t expected that his absence would have plunged Muniang into such a maelstrom of rumors. Thinking back to the nonsense Qiao Dalang had just spewed, he had the urge to strangle him.

The rest of the crowd, seeing this situation, immediately fled, feeling fortunate they hadn’t said anything too offensive. They had only gossiped a little. But they were still quite loyal, and as soon as they ran out, they started calling for the villagers to come over, announcing that Er Liang was about to kill someone.

When Muniang arrived on the scene, there were already quite a few people gathered, but in contrast to the usual noisy atmosphere when they crowded around to watch the excitement, it was eerily quiet. In fact, everyone present was intimidated by the fierce aura emanating from Yu Ze, afraid that even a single word from them could result in a lethal glare.

Qiao Dalang was still slapping his own face, the smacking sounds unceasing, until finally, a villager couldn’t bear it and spoke up weakly, “Er Liang, although Dalang has said a lot of nonsense, he won’t be able to withstand this much beating.”

Yu Ze pursed his lips, his expression still very grim, and ultimately didn’t say a word. Seeing his demeanor, everyone understood that the current Er Liang was no longer the fool of the past and didn’t dare to utter a sound.

As Muniang rushed over, her heart was not worried for the beaten Qiao Dalang but filled with joy and excitement. He came back. He didn’t break his promise. He really came back.

“Er Liang!” Muniang pushed through the crowd, and the instant she saw Er Liang, her eyes couldn’t help but redden. She threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling with a heavy nasal tone, “I thought you weren’t going to come back.”

A look of tenderness finally took over the grimness on Yu Ze’s face as he hugged Muniang tightly, “I’m back, my lady.”

The villagers, though they understood, all thought Er Liang wasn’t going to return. Now that he had suddenly come back, anyone would be thrilled, but hugging and embracing in full view of everyone—wasn’t that a bit—
