Chapter 121

"Sure, I shall roast it for you."

A stack of firewood and a fire soon blazed. The prepared wild rabbit was raised above the flame, slowly roasting. The aroma gradually wafted out.

"What flavor do you want? Cumin or hot and spicy?" Wang Yao smiled and asked the dog that was crouching to the side, its eyes staring fixedly at the roasted rabbit meat.

Woof, woof. The answering bark sounded displeased.

...

Down the hill in the village, in the house of the village's branch secretary.

"Uncle, you have to interfere!" a middle-aged woman wiped her tears and said.

Wang Jianli did not speak; he lowered his head, smoking and took a while before answering.

"You were in the wrong. In fact, you were bluffing them!"

He knew about what happened the night before. Not long after it happened, Wang Jianggang came to his house and told him about it. He pondered over the matter for a bit, made a phone call, and gained a general understanding of the cause of the commotion.

"That young man is not as simple as you think."

A kind person did not imply he was susceptible to being bullied.

"Uncle, we know we are wrong. Can you please help us persuade him? We are from the same village after all," the woman pleaded.

After she received the call, she had dashed to the town police station immediately. In the end, she did not manage to meet her brother. She found someone with connections and managed to find out that her brother had threatened a family and held a knife to the police. When she heard what happened, she was alarmed. After much contemplation, she decided to seek the help of the village's branch secretary. While on her way, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was related to Wang Yao's family.

"Knowing that you are of the same village, why did you do it in the first place?" Wang Jianli said coldly.

This was not an easy matter to deal with. He knew that in spite of other considerations, the young man's relationship with Wang Mingbao was as tight as real brothers. Based on this fact, this matter could not be settled so easily. Additionally, Wang Mingbao's father, who was currently the town's mayor, had an imposing manner. Apparently, the town secretary was unwell, and so most of the town's matters were handled and decided by the mayor. At certain times, certain matters were decided by him alone.

"Instead of coming to me, why not go to him?" Wang Jianli said. He did not want to help or get involved.

"Errr…" The woman was put in a difficult position. She did not want to go to Wang Yao's family, primarily because she felt apologetic towards them.

"If you knew now to be apologetic, why were you not aware of it then?" Wang Jianli asked after noting her hesitance. "His family is easier going," he added.

"Okay, I will try."

The woman made up her mind and left Wang Jianli's house. She went to the village's supermarket, bought some stuff and went straight to Wang Yao's home. She stood outside, wavering for a few minutes before knocking on the door.

Upon entering and seeing Wang Fenghua and Zhang Xiuying in the courtyard, she smiled and greeted them, "Mr. and Mrs. Wang."

"Why're you here?" The couple in the courtyard saw the woman and was stunned.

...

"This rock is pretty good!"
