Since she messed up, she decided to talk less lest she makes her sister-in-law unhappy.
“I think you can do whatever you want, but you must teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they won’t remember their mistake.”
The corner of An Jiuyue’s red lips curled slightly.
They won’t remember? I’ll help them remember. I can do that.
She looked at Qian Jiyun and asked, “Since you can’t sleep anymore, why don’t you go to the forest and cut some trees? I want to build a bigger straw shed next to the treehouse to store more things. What do you think?”
Qian Jiyun was not sure what his wife wanted to do.
However, he would do as she said. Without saying much, he brought Yan Nuo to cut trees while Qian Yiyun went to prepare the hay.
She knew how to build a straw shed—it was easy. With her brother and Yan Nuo around, it would only take half a day.
Soon, An Jiuyue was alone in the treehouse.
…
Brother Dog’s wife fooled the Chief and the Junior Officer into rushing to the treehouse. When they arrived in the middle of the night with a few others, they saw a few men hanging from a large tree.
“Help, help!”
When the men saw the light from the torches, they quickly shouted for help despite being unable to see who was coming.
The light-headed sensation was horrid, and they wanted to be rescued urgently. Then, they would find An Jiuyue and settle the score with her!
“Oh, my dear!”
Brother Dog’s wife felt terrible seeing her husband hanging from a tree.
“Chief, Junior Officer, look at what An Jiuyue has done. She hung them up. We’re all from the same village. How can she do this?
“To think my family even treated An Jiuyue as our savior. How has my husband offended her? Why is she hanging him up like this?”
She did not forget to insult An Jiuyue while worrying about her husband.
The family members of the other men spoke up one after another when they saw their sons hanging from the tree. They began reprimanding An Jiuyue.
“Feng Zi, Feng Zi! Someone help Feng Zi down! Chief, how can this happen? How did Feng Zi offend An Jiuyue for him to suffer like this?”
They did not even consider why An Jiuyue would hang them from the tree, especially in the middle of the night. They did not think about it at all.
However, the Chief and the Junior Officer knew what must have happened.
The Junior Officer raised his hand. “Wait, there’s no hurry to get them down.”
The other men who wanted to help them down stopped in their tracks.
In fact, they were also curious about why An Jiuyue had hung them up. They roughly understood her personality. She did not seem like someone who would attack others for no reason.
One of the men’s family was unhappy to hear that.
“What are you waiting for? Ah Hao has suffered so much. What’s wrong with An Jiuyue? Why did she hang him up?”
Their hearts ached for their sons. Watching their sons hanging like that was worse than being hung up themselves.
“Chief, you watched Ah Hao and the others grow up. You can’t ignore An Jiuyue’s bullying. She’s too heartless.”
