Now only Wang Ailing remained inside the house, and she found an excuse to leave.
The village chief was very pleased with her perceptiveness.
"You two are worse than beasts. These are your parents. Do you know what your family was like back then? They worked like animals to raise you, build you houses, and arrange your marriages.
But look at what you've done! I warn you, if you don't bring money by the fifth of each month, you don't need to bring it anymore. I'll deduct six yuan directly from your work points each month.
If I had sons like you, I would've broken their legs and driven them out long ago. Raising a dog is better; even beasts know how to wag their tails."
The village chief left them no dignity whatsoever. Both men couldn't lift their heads.
