The Deterrent Power of the Pig Castration Knife

Zhai Qingming jumped over the wall from the side and crept along the base of the wall, trying to get closer to Zheng Jingren's house.

"Zhai Qingming, stop right there! What are you doing, sneaking around like this in broad daylight?"

Hou Da stared at Zhai Qingming with his big eyes, preventing him from getting close to the house.

"Hou Big Eyes, aren't you meddling too much?"

Uncle Zheng asked me to wipe the drip edge for him a few days ago. Can't I come and check it now?

Haven't seen you for a few days, when did you start working as someone else's watchdog?

After Hou Da Yanjing said that, Zhai Qingming stopped sneaking along the wall.

He straightened his back and swayed as he walked to the middle of the yard in front of Hou Da Yanjing.

Zhai Qingming is of medium height, with a round face and small, squinty eyes.

You have to look up to see Hou Da's face.

Not only was it shorter, but its imposing presence was also diminished.

"Zhai Qingming, don't say such harsh things."

"I'm the watchdog, what are you? You're just like me, trying to find a wife for free."

Hou Da Yanjing now regards all the bachelors in the village as rivals, without exception.

"Hou, you big-eyed guy, have you ever touched Zheng Meizhi's hand?"

"You even have the nerve to say the child is yours, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhai Qingming speaks with great logic, and his words strike right at Hou Da's heart.

"Zhai Qingming is still better than you. I saw that thing, did you?"

Hou Da-yan crossed his arms and showed off his abilities.

Actually, he didn't see anything. Zhang Changyao and Zheng Meizhi were in the dark woods, so he just listened to their voices for fun.

"Big Eyes Hou, what did you see?" Zhai Qingming perked up immediately upon hearing this and leaned over to ask.

"Hou Big Eyes, you fucking get the hell out of here."

If you dare spout any more nonsense, I'll castrate you right now.

Hearing the two people talking, Zheng Jingren kicked the door open.

Holding a pig-castration knife, he headed straight for Hou Da Yanjing.

He looked like he really wanted to cut off Hou Da's scrotum.

"Uncle Zheng, it was so dark I couldn't see anything. I was just fooling Zhai Qingming."

Hou Da was so frightened that he covered his groin with both hands and backed away.

"Old Zheng, how's the discussion going? When are you going to let your daughter come back and live with me?"

When Ma Wu and Ma Liu saw Zheng Jingren come out, they led their group of people into the courtyard.

"I don't care if you're a Mazda 5 or a Mazda 6, my daughter said no one can be the father of her unborn child without a hundred dollars."

As long as someone can come up with 100 yuan, my daughter will marry him even if he's lame or blind.

If you try to act tough, I'm warning you to watch out for your little toys in your crotch.

I, Zheng Jingren, have spent half my life castrating pigs; I have no other skills.

Making you childless is as easy as lifting a finger.

Zheng Jingren raised the gleaming castration knife in his hand and showed it to the people behind Ma Wu and Ma Liu.

"Fifth Brother, this uncle is right. As long as you take out a hundred yuan, his daughter is yours."

"Fifth Brother, we can't rob someone like that, it'll land us in jail. We have to do it legally and legitimately to get married."

"Fifth Brother, let's go back first and come back after we've sorted out the money."

"We'll help you carry your sister-in-law back then."

The people behind Ma Wu started offering their advice in a cacophony of voices.

It's not anyone's business; nobody wants to be castrated by Zheng Jingren.

"Old Zheng, you better wait at home quietly. I'm going home to get the money right now."

Ma Wu led his men back, and before leaving, Ma Liu glanced back at Zheng Meizhi standing at the door.

He knew in his heart that once he left, he would never be able to come back.

"Uncle, you old man, you really want a hundred dollars?"

If no one has a hundred dollars, you'll have to give me one first.

I may not have a hundred yuan, but I can still be good to your daughter.

I was the one who helped Zheng Meizhi when Zhang Changyao's wife pinned her down on the stove and beat her up a couple of days ago.

"If you don't believe me, ask your daughter. I even hugged her then."

Hou Da Yanjing shamelessly pestered Zheng Jingren, hoping to get Zheng Meizhi for free.

"Uncle Zheng, if you don't have a hundred yuan, how about a few dozen yuan?"

Zhai Qingming, who had been listening in the background, seized the opportunity to say something.

"You two get the hell away from me, you're all filthy."

He doesn't even have a hundred dollars, yet he wants to get married.

"You're trying to take advantage of me, Zheng Jingren? Don't you even take a good look at yourself in the mirror?"

Zheng Jingren brandished the pig-castration knife in his hand and shooed Hou Da Yanjing and Zhai Qingming out.

"You old fool, all you care about is money! Why don't you just blind yourself to it?"

Hou Da Yan didn't go through the main gate; instead, he jumped over the courtyard wall and went home.

"Qingming, I told you not to get involved, but you didn't believe me. If it were possible to get involved without spending money..."

"I'll marry him, why would it be your turn?" Zhang Changyao looked at Zhai Qingming with schadenfreude.

"Damn! Who has a hundred dollars to buy a piece of trash who's carrying a bastard?"

Zhai Qingming was completely heartbroken. He kicked a stone by the roadside and cursed while clutching his foot.

"Dad, I was just trying to scare Zhang Changyao by saying we were pregnant."

I don't know which scoundrel spread rumors everywhere, making it seem like I'm really pregnant.

Inside the house, Zheng Meizhi patted her belly and explained to her father.

"My dear daughter, I'm telling you, you're a tiger with the spirit of two tigers."

How could a young lady like her put a bad name on herself?

Now look what's happened, even my innocent body has become tainted.

"Luckily, your father stopped those poor bastards for you, otherwise you would have been in big trouble."

Zheng Jingren dotes on Zheng Meizhi, and even after things have turned out this way, he doesn't dare to say a word of reproach to her.

"Father, there's one person who's close to me who hasn't come yet."

Even if that person has a hundred dollars, they shouldn't look down on my body.

I started dating him because he had some money and seemed like a law-abiding citizen.

After much thought, Zheng Meizhi remembered Hu Xiao, the person Yang Wuni hadn't had the heart to tell.

Hu Xiaoben is honest and doesn't cause trouble. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have the guts to sleep with Zheng Meizhi.

Perhaps God took pity on Hu Xiao and wanted to give him a taste of sweetness.

That day, Hu Xiao went to town to sell baskets and came back with a candied hawthorn stick in his hand, which he was going to buy for his mother.

Just as he was about to urinate, he put down the remaining basket and crawled into the cornfield to relieve himself.

Zheng Meizhi was chatting with Du Laixiao in the cornfield.

Du Laixiao was a married man. When he saw someone come in, he pulled up his pants and ran away.

This infuriated Zheng Meizhi, who was still standing there, not having had her fill of fun.

She had seen that the person who came was Hu Xiao, who sold baskets, and knew that Hu Xiao had some money, so she had wicked ideas.

"Hu Xiao, I was squatting in the field relieving myself just now, did you see my body?"

Zheng Meizhi grabbed Hu Xiao by the collar and dragged him into the cornfield.

"Zheng Meizhi, I just came in and I didn't see anything."

Hu Xiao was so frightened that he curled up into a ball and squatted in the ditch, too scared to move.
