"Not only did I know her, but I also gave her a good beating."
Seeing that He Hongyang spoke without any pretense, the widow Bai collapsed to the ground, at a loss for what to do.
She has given all she could now.
We've already tried all the available methods.
She has nothing left.
What else could she do?
"If you can't come up with money, then use something as collateral!"
Looking at her sewing machine: "Someone, move this outside!"
This sewing machine is a new one she bought this year.
In the entire Baijiagou village, only her family owned a sewing machine.
When we bought it, we were incredibly proud of it.
She wished she could carry the sewing machine with He Daqing and drive around the whole village.
Ever since they got a sewing machine.
Anyone in the village who needed clothes altered or mended would flock to her house.
The White Widow felt her back straighten up.
With this sewing machine, she was the best-off family in the whole village.
I never expected that I would be carried away now.
This is the most valuable thing in her house!
She stepped forward and hugged the sewing machine, pleading, "Please don't lift it, I beg you."
Sha Zhu yanked her away: "Even this sewing machine can't pay off all your debts."
The remaining items, though some were still worth a few cents, were completely beneath He Hongyang's notice.
And even if he were to take it home, he wouldn't care.
He waved his hand and said, "Smash the rest! Consider it buying everything here today, just to hear the noise!"
The young men who came with him.
Having eaten someone else's meat and drunk their wine, I'm now worried about where to use my strength.
They tried to make a move several times, but Sha Zhu beat them to it each time.
Now that they heard He Hongyang say that, it was finally their turn to take the stage!
Pick up the stick.
They started smashing everything in their house.
"Crackling and banging!"
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
"Boom! Boom!"
Pots and pans flew everywhere, and bedding and sheets were scattered all over the floor.
The white widow watched as her home became dilapidated.
She wanted to step forward and stop her.
But she was all alone; how could she possibly be a match for these people?
It's all because she seduced He Daqing back then.
It's all her fault for making him abandon his children.
It was her who egged him on to go back and divide the family property.
Isn't all of this just deserved?
He could only sit on the ground, covering his head, not daring to make a sound or even look at anything.
The people in Baijiagou heard crying and shouting coming from inside, followed by the sound of things being smashed.
Although they are not well-liked by their family.
But the old village chief was terrified that someone might die.
He rushed over with a group of people.
Most of these people are old bachelors who have long coveted the Bai sisters, so they are now trying to show themselves so that the sisters will remember their kindness in the future.
After they arrived.
Seeing the entire Bai family home in such a mess, and seeing the widow Bai slumped on the ground, beaten beyond recognition.
Even though there are many of them!
Although they were all very aggressive!
But the people in their village are no pushovers either.
Seeing that they've already invaded the village, we absolutely cannot let them leave like this.
The old village chief looked at He Hongyang and asked, "What exactly are you here for? Why did you beat him up like this and smash his house like this?"
He Hongyang looked him up and down: "You're the old village chief?"
"I'm."
"Is that bald guy who's dating the 'white lotus' your son?"
The old village chief was utterly ashamed when the matter was brought up.
He didn't know how He Hongyang knew about their relationship, but since the other party had mentioned his son, he had to admit it.
He lowered his head and said, "He's my son."
He Hongyang picked up the IOU: "What I just smashed is all that she owes me. This IOU has Bai Lianhua's name on it, as well as your son's name."
"I wonder if you'll be the one to pay off the remaining half?"
The old village chief never expected that his son would have accumulated debts outside.
No wonder I haven't seen him all this time.
So he went out and caused trouble.
"May I ask, young man, have you perhaps seen my son? How did he borrow money from you?"
“I met him in Beijing. He used a naive and innocent persona to deceive my brother. This IOU was written by him back then!”
He Hongyang then recounted who he was and how he and Bai Lianhua had deceived Sha Zhu.
"Old village chief, do you think he owes me money? Should I come to Baijiagou to ask him to pay it back?"
It is only right to pay back debts!
Even if we go to the ends of the earth, He Hongyang still has a point.
He did absolutely the right thing!
The old village chief nodded and said, "It should be returned."
He Hongyang pointed at the white widow.
"Her husband and sister owe money, and she doesn't have the money to pay it back. Can I use her belongings to settle the debt?"
The old village chief nodded again: "Of course, there's no question about it."
"Since her things belong to me, does that mean I can smash them and do whatever I want?"
"Yes, even if you throw them all away, we shouldn't have any objections."
101. I'll pick up a brick and beat you so badly you can't take care of yourself.
He Hongyang pointed to the two camphor wood chests outside.
"See that? That was my mother's dowry, and now it's in her house! Do you know how angry I am as her son?!"
“When she and He Daqing fled here, my family almost went hungry. Now that she sees that our family is doing better, she’s urging He Daqing to go back and divide the family property.”
"Is it right to beat up someone like that?"
"Let me tell you, my purpose in coming to Baoding this time is to target the Bai family, and specifically, the Bai Widow!"
“She used to bully us because we were young and didn’t know anything. Now that we’re grown up and understand everything, the He family will not let anyone bully us, and the men of the He family will not let the Bai family’s women deceive us!”
"Snapped!"
He Hongyang picked up a brick from the ground.
"If any of you people from Baijiagou think I've gone too far today and want someone to stand up for Widow Bai, then go ahead and try. I'll smash every one of you who comes up, and I'll take care of every one of you who comes up!"
He just finished speaking.

Sha Zhu and the others immediately stood in front of He Hongyang.
"Anyone who dares to make a move will have to get past us first!"
“Brother He is telling the truth. It was Widow Bai who provoked the He family first. Does that mean we are allowed to break up the He family, but the He family is not allowed to smash up her house?”
The old village chief had nothing to say.
He Hongyang's words were all precious.
Every single word he said makes sense!
Even if he only smashed her house, or even if he burned it down, she shouldn't care.
Because this is something she owes the He family!
He shook his head helplessly: "It was my fault for not understanding the situation beforehand. You're right, she deserved to be beaten, and her house deserved to be smashed."
At first, I saw the old village chief leading a group of people.
Then I saw that bachelor behind me looking aggressive.
The white widow thought she had finally been saved.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang's few words were enough to make not only the bachelor behind him cower, but also the old village chief.
Are we just going to let him take all my money?
Are we just going to let him smash up his own house?
Are we just going to let him leave Baijiagou like this?
Once he leaves, she's finished.
While the people of Baijiagou are still around, she wants to fight for herself.
"Don't forget I'm your Aunt Bai. Even if they owe you money, you can't treat me like this. We're family, after all."
What the hell!
If I hadn't been reminded, I would have completely forgotten.
“We’ve severed all ties with He Daqing. We have no relation to him whatsoever, so how could we possibly have anything to do with you?”
"White Widow, I think you're just trying to embolden yourself by having more people, aren't you?"
He Hongyang accidentally dropped the brick he was holding onto the ground.
This time.
It hit the white widow right in the hand.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
