From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 930 - 926: Reaping What You Sow (First Update)
The burlap sack was taken off, and Mu Danian saw a bit of light. Just as he wanted to lean closer to see who had hit him with the stick, a pair of smelly socks were stuffed into his mouth.
His eyes were stabbed by something unknown, causing him to close them in pain.
Mu Danian finally couldn’t shout out loud, but the muffled "woo woo" sounds continued, becoming increasingly intense.
"Damned beast, today I’m going to... beat you to death!" Huang Bita shouted nervously.
"Woo woo..." Mu Danian cried for help from his mouth.
In his heart, he already realized he had fallen for this girl’s trick!
But he realized it too late, with his mouth stuffed with disgusting smelly socks. The sounds he made were all indistinct "woo woo", impossible to wake up anyone from the Old Mu Family.
No one would save him.
Mu Danian felt deep regret in his heart, almost turning his guts green with remorse.
If he’d known, he would have shouted earlier, his parents would have found out. At most, he’d get beaten, which would be better than being taught a lesson by this girl now.
Outside the house, Mu Dalang and Lu Yuanfeng rushed in after hearing the second coughing signal.
Inside the room, dimly lit by an oil lamp, two women used all their strength to beat Mu Danian viciously.
The two men exchanged a glance, then charged ahead without hesitation, throwing punches.
The men’s fists were much heavier than the women’s, and after a few punches, Mu Danian wailed loudly in pain, feeling as if his bones were breaking.
The tone of his cries was all begging for mercy.
But with anger dominating their thoughts, how could the men easily let Mu Danian go?
Mu Dalang’s fist was as hard as iron, landing a punch on Mu Danian’s chin with a crack, knocking out one of his teeth.
A mouthful of blood was spat out along with the smelly socks.
"Mu Danian, you beast, bet you didn’t expect it? Today was my setup, I wanted to see what shameless thing you could do."
"I really didn’t expect you to eavesdrop outside my and Bita’s room every night, you shameless thing. Watch me cripple you today."
"Dare to harass Bita, dare to peep again, and I’ll gouge your eyes out to kick!"
Mu Dalang spat on Mu Danian’s face, and slapped him twice, sounding like thunder.
Mu Shuangshuang was stunned, she could easily guess that those slaps must’ve been extremely forceful.
Lu Yuanfeng feared Mu Shuangshuang might get hurt by accident, so he carefully helped her off the kang, shielding her behind him.
Mu Danian’s snot and tears flowed out, begging for mercy and kneeling.
"Da Lang, I’m your uncle, you can’t kill me. If you kill me, you’ll end up in the government."
"I know I was wrong, I swear I’ll never touch Bita again, I was wrong..."
From the moment he heard Da Lang’s voice, Mu Danian knew he’d offended a fierce god today.
He must protect his own life, he can’t just be beaten to death like this.
Mu Danian cried pitifully, his voice grew louder, so Mu Dalang slapped his hand down.
"Shut your mouth! Bita’s name, do you dare shout it?"
Mu Danian didn’t dare shout anymore, only issued muffled cries akin to a beast’s lament.
Seeing this bloody scene, Huang Bita couldn’t bear to watch, she tugged on Da Lang’s sleeve: "Don’t kill him, let’s forget it!"
This plea, to Mu Danian, was undoubtedly a lifeline.
Mu Danian began pleading with Huang Bita: "Bi... Da Lang’s wife, I know I was wrong, please beg Da Lang for mercy, I won’t have improper thoughts about you anymore."
"Da Lang’s wife, save me, or it’s going to turn fatal..."
Feeling a twinge of pity, Huang Bita was about to plead, but Mu Shuangshuang behind Lu Yuanfeng kicked Mu Danian in the chest.
Mu Danian fell directly to the ground, and Da Lang sat on him, continued beating him.
The sounds lasted for half the night, only when Mu Danian’s cries grew quieter did Da Lang finally stop.
He had exhausted a lot of energy tonight, just beating alone had made his arms feel unable to lift.
His throat was dry and hoarse now, but none of that mattered compared to getting justice for his wife, Huang Bita.
"That’s enough, what should we do next?" Da Lang somewhat regained his composure and asked Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang initially wanted to strip him and throw him at the village entrance, but it’s only the first month, the weather is freezing, if a whole night passes in the cold and he loses his life, that would be over.
A lesson is one thing, she didn’t want to cause a death, nor did she want this matter to trouble Da Lang and Huang Bita.
"Throw... throw him back into his own room! Tomorrow morning, once he wakes up, Brother, take that sachet to threaten him, along with the contract I prepared, make sure he signs it.
Tell him if he even dares to have any crooked thoughts, the sachet and contract will be sent to the county government office, and he’ll rot in prison."
"Okay, I’ll do it right away!"
Da Lang took the sachet, and, like picking up a chick, picked up Mu Danian’s body and left the room. When he returned, it was already late into the night.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng prepared to leave.
Once the two left, Huang Bita threw herself into Da Lang’s arms.
"Da Lang, it turns out you really weren’t lying before, there was a shadow outside our house." Huang Bita said fearfully.
Not only was Huang Bita scared, Mu Dalang was scared too, just thinking about how Mu Danian squatted outside his house like a ghost every night, wanting to listen to their bedroom activities, made him feel utterly disgusted.
At this moment, Da Lang regretted not kicking him more.
"Bita, don’t be afraid anymore, that beast has learned his lesson, he won’t dare come to our house again." Da Lang placed his hand on Huang Bita’s head, gently stroking her hair.
The light touch of skin made Huang Bita feel safe.
Fear gradually dissipated...
Huang Bita looked up at the man before her.
Under the dim oil lamp, the man’s facial features were slightly delicate, with distant mountain-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a face without excess meat, not the rugged tough man type.
Even back then, her three brothers didn’t want to marry her off to this man.
The family was just one of the reasons, the other was Mu Dalang’s physique.
Healthy though he was, compared to those big tall men over eight feet, with bodies full of muscles, Mu Dalang was not impressive.
Doing farm work certainly didn’t seem as good as those strong men.
But Huang Bita just liked him, just liked someone like him.
"Da Lang, tonight, hold me while we sleep, that way I... won’t be scared anymore..." Huang Bita spoke nervously.
