Chapter 59 - 59 Worse Than a Beast
59 Worse Than a Beast
If one listened carefully, they could hear Lin Xiujuan cursing.
Needless to say, Lin Xiujuan must be in an argument with the Wang and Sun families.
By the time their family opened the front door and went out to take a look, the quarrel was almost over.
Lin Xiujuan fought two people alone and managed to scratch Wang Gou’s mother’s face. Sun Er’s mother’s nose was bleeding too.
As for Lin Xiujuan, her clothes and hair were only a little messy. Her combat strength was off the charts!
Lin Xiujuan was the victim and had the right to reason with them. She also had many witnesses on her side. Not only did the old women of the Wang and Sun families receive a beating for nothing, they were also dragged here to apologize to the Lin family.
In the end, the village chief mediated and Lin Xiujuan spared them.
“Hmph! I’ve been fighting since I was 12 years old. You can’t beat me even with three of you! Pfft, I advise you to go back and discipline your sons well. Don’t do anything guilty. Be careful of retribution!”
As Lin Xiujuan cursed, the Wang and Sun wives tucked their tails between their legs and ran away dejectedly.
The commotion was over, and the surrounding villagers who were watching the commotion dispersed.
Lin Xiujuan, who had won the battle, also returned home with her head held high.

Night fell, at the Zhou residence.
The family ate until their bellies were round. They sat on a bed and chatted for a while before going to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Xiaoli was woken up by the urge to pee and had no choice but to go to the toilet.
Just as she reached the courtyard, she suddenly heard the dull sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground in the quiet night.
Thieves!
Zhou Xiaoli’s first reaction was that there was a thief at home!
She immediately became vigilant and slowly retreated into the room. She picked up the small crossbow on the table and quietly walked to the door, pricking up her ears to listen for any noise.
In the dead of night, the sounds of the surroundings were especially clear. The chirping of insects in the grass and the croaking of frogs in the river not far away.
There were also two extremely low voices.
“The Lin family had indeed hidden their money really well. Damn it, we didn’t even manage to find a single copper coin.”
“There are rules in the underworld. We can’t walk away empty-handed. Go to the kitchen and get all their rice and flour.”
“There are a few old hens in this chicken coop. They can be sold for money too.”
“Shh, are you stupid? What if the chickens cry and wake the people around us? We have more important things to do.”
“Come, let’s go to the Zhou family quickly. The little b*tch from the Zhou family has harmed us brothers to such extents. I’ll be damned if I don’t deal with her. Do you still have any knockout drugs?”
“Yes, it’s all on me!”
“Alright, after we have knocked them out, search for the money. I’ll carry her. Let’s have fun tonight.”
“One is not enough. Didn’t the Zhou family have a baby girl? That will be fun!”
Finally, there was a burst of obscene laughter.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoli’s hearing was sharp, so she could hear every word of their conversation.
A hint of danger flashed across her eyes.
Zhou Xiaoli turned around and entered the house, shaking Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan awake.
“Shh, Father, Mother, don’t make a sound first. There are thieves in our house.”
As soon as the two of them opened their eyes, Zhou Xiaoli immediately lowered her voice and reminded them.
The two of them, who were still in a daze, turned wide awake when they heard that there were thieves.
They quickly sat up and jumped out of bed without putting on their clothes.
The moment he got off the bed, Zhou Yu simultaneously took out a kitchen knife from under the bed.
This was Zhou Yu’s sleeping habit. Before sleeping, he had to put the kitchen knife under the bed. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep well.
Zhang Lan picked up the bolt on the back of the door.
Under the moonlight, the three of them quietly moved to the door and observed the commotion in the courtyard through the half-open door.
Sure enough, not long after.
They heard the dull thud of two heavy objects falling to the ground.
Accompanied by the rustling of clothes, deliberate light footsteps slowly approached them.
Here it comes!
Through the crack in the door, the three of them saw two black figures sneaking over.
As they approached the door, Sun Er took out the knockout drug.
Zhou Yu took the lead and opened the door. He raised his knife and rushed out.
“B*stard thief, you had the nerve to steal from my house!”
Zhang Lan raised the door bolt and shouted as she followed closely behind.
Wang Gou and Sun Er clearly did not expect to be discovered. They were shocked by Zhou Yu who suddenly rushed out of the room.
Zhou Yu was originally strong and strong. In addition, he had been drinking the spiritual spring water from the alternate space recently. He ate well and his body became even stronger.
For him to overpower these two, it was as easy as hitting a chicken.
Zhou Xiaoli did not even have the chance to attack before Wang Gou and Sun Er were beaten to the ground by Zhou Yu.
The two of them lay on the ground and cried out in pain.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yu’s punch must have been powerful.
“Go get the rope!”
Zhou Yu held the kitchen knife and stood at the side, staring at the two of them. He only put the kitchen knife away after Zhang Lan and Zhou Xiaoli tied them up.
“How should we deal with them? Should we send them to the county office tomorrow?” Zhou Yu could not help but ask.
Zhou Yu thought that the two of them were just thieves. If they were sent to the county office, they would definitely be jailed for a few years.
However, Zhou Xiaoli had heard their conversation. They had wanted to destroy her and Zhou Xiaoyu!
Especially Zhou Xiaoyu, who was only four or five years old. These two people actually had such evil thoughts. They were simply worse than beasts!
They were bad people from the bottom of their hearts. If they were released from prison, they might find trouble with them again.
Allowing such danger to live on would mean endless trouble for them.
If it was up to her, neither of them should be left alive.
However, she naturally could not say this out loud. Killing someone would probably scare Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan.
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes moved, and she couldn’t help but say, “Father, Foreman Cao will come to look at the house structure tomorrow, and you won’t be able to leave. Why don’t I send them to the county office?”
This way, no one would know what she was doing on the way.
However, Zhou Yu refused. “No, no. It’s too unsafe. I’m worried.”
Zhang Lan also agreed repeatedly.
“Uncle, why don’t you leave these two to me?”
At this moment, Wei Chiyu’s voice suddenly rang out.
The few of them were stunned. They looked over and saw Wei Chiyu sitting on the wall.
Seeing that they were looking at him, he jumped down from the wall and explained.
“They woke me up with their cries.”
Actually, he had woken up some time ago. He had discovered their presence when Wang Gou and Sun Er entered the Lin family.
However, when he realized that Zhou Xiaoli had also woken up, he did not act rashly. He observed in secret, thinking that if they were no match for them, he would attack immediately.
However, he did not expect Zhou Yu to be so brave. With one punch, he knocked the two of them down. He did not give him a chance to save the damsel in distress.
Naturally, he heard their conversation.
He had the same thoughts as Zhou Xiaoli. They should not be left alive.
Zhou Yu was a little hesitant. “Would this be too much trouble for you?”
Wei Chiyu immediately shook his head. “No, I’m going to the county tomorrow. I’ll bring them to the county office on the way.”
With Wei Chiyu sending them to the county office instead, Zhou Yu would have peace of mind staying at home.
Thus, the matter was happily settled.
Wei Chiyu said that he had to wake up very early tomorrow and would bring the two of them back to his house tonight.
He lowered his head and looked at the two of them. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. Then, he asked Zhou Xiaoli, “Do you have any stinky socks?”
“Huh? Why do you need stinky socks?” Zhou Xiaoli was confused.
Wei Chiyu said casually, “I have to wake up early tomorrow and I’m afraid that they will disturb my sleep.”
Zhou Xiaoli instantly understood.
She immediately laughed. This guy was two-faced. “Yes, yes. Wait for me. I’ll find it for you right now.”
As she spoke, she ran back to her room and took a pair of stinky socks that Zhou Yu had changed out of at night, and had yet to wash.
Although Wang Gou and Sun Er tried their best to resist, in the end, the stinky socks were stuffed into their mouths.
Wei Chiyu patted the rope on the person’s body. After finding that it was firmly tied around them, he carried the two of them out of the Zhou family.
Zhou Xiaoli had something to ask, so she chased after him after Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan returned to the room.
