Yang Ruoqing got up and came to the bedside, gently tucking the quilts in for the two children.

Then he sat sideways on the edge of the bed, looked at his ambition, and fell into deep thought...

…

On the shore, in the awning boat.

Other people's awning boats were docked there steadily, but the drunkard's awning boat was swaying wildly from side to side.

Among the chaotic and frightened cries of the children, there were heard the hysterical roars of drunkards, the sound of smashing things, and the heart-wrenching cries of women.

Li Zheng from Hekou Village angrily jumped off the boat, cursed and walked towards the shore. He happened to meet Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo Duou who were walking towards them.

"Brother Li Zheng, what's going on? Why is there so much noise again?" Zuo Junmo came over quickly and asked.

Li Zheng blushed, turned around, pointed at the awning boat, and said angrily: "That drunkard's brain is filled with water."

"I sent his wife back, but he didn't care how sick his son was, and he would start a fight when we met."

"I tried to persuade him a few times, but he still wanted to attack me. He was acting like crazy and even picked up a knife. I didn't want to risk my life, so I rushed out to find reinforcements!" Li Zheng said angrily.

Zuo Junmo's brows knitted together.

As he spoke, the awning boat shook violently again, and then the woman ran out with disheveled hair, and fell headlong onto the boat before she even landed.

"Brother Li Zheng, run away, the drunkard is crazy and wants to kill you..."

The woman screamed in horror, and behind her, the drunkard rushed out with red eyes and a knife brandishing in his hand.

"You bitch, you dare to report the news? Are you having an affair with them, you slut? Go to hell!"

The drunkard raised his foot and kicked the woman into the water.

"Oops!"

Zuo Junmo secretly said something, quickly ran towards the river, and plunged into the water to save the woman.

Li Zheng also quickly followed over and helped.

The drunkard became even more annoyed when he saw this scene.

"Slut, you hooked up with so many wild men and cuckolded me, you all should go to hell!"

He roared, brandished the knife in his hand, and slashed at Li Zheng before he could get into the water.

Other people watching the excitement on nearby boats and on the shore were frightened and screamed when they saw this scene.

Seeing that the knife was about to hit Li Zheng's shoulder, if the knife went down, Li Zheng would probably be crippled.

No one in the vicinity dared to come and intercept him. The women, who were broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and who usually spoke loudly and cursed, were all scared to tears at this moment.

Just when everyone thought this place was going to be unlucky, a figure flashed past like a hurricane.

"boom!"

"Ouch~"

The knife was kicked over and directly into the middle of the river.

The drunkard was also punched and sent flying backwards, and his huge body fell heavily on the shore like a broken sack.

There was no movement at all.

Everyone came back to their senses, and their shocked eyes focused on Luo Fengtang.

He still maintained his punching posture, his stern face filled with cold air.

There is an alluring aura exuding from his whole body that makes people dare not look directly at him.

Over there, Zuo Junmo carried the woman to the shore. The woman was wet and kept crying.

Li Zheng hurriedly recruited some nearby women and asked them to help take the woman who fell into the water back to the cabin.

Then, Li Zheng ran over and looked at the motionless drunkard lying on the ground. He raised his head and said to Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo, "I passed out. What should I do next?"

Luo Fengtang had a stern look on his face, "I'm most annoyed by this kind of idiot who has no ability and only bullies his wife and children, and even spits shit at others!"

"I am only responsible for being a thug. You are the boss here and you have the final say." He said.

Li Zheng turned his questioning eyes to Zuo Junmo again.

Although he is the leader of Hekou Village, Hekou Village is just a vassal village of Zuojiazhuang.

Everything has to be decided by the owner of the village.

Zuo Junmo received Li Zheng's gaze, frowned, and said: "I think this drunkard's brain is a little abnormal. He might kill people and set fire to him when he wakes up."

"For everyone's safety, it's better to tie him up first. Wait until he sobers up, and then we'll make further plans."

…

Li Zheng then asked several villagers from Hekou Village to come over and help tie up the drunkard first.

During this process, none of the other fishermen and couples who came from Yangzhou with the drunkard stood up to speak or intercede for the drunkard.

There were even two alcoholic companions who came over to help with the binding.

During the process of tying him up, they also strongly asked Li Zheng from Hekou Village to wait until the drunkard wakes up and punish the drunkard properly so that he can learn a lesson.

From the complaints of these fellow drunkards, Luo Fengtang, Zuo Junmo and the others understood that everyone had had enough of drunkards, but no one dared to fight against them.

Because the drunkard has a hot temper and is cruel and unreasonable.

Especially when he drank alcohol, he would become even more irritable and hit anyone who came. As time went by, others would gradually alienate their family.

The drunkard was tied up and sent back to his family's fishing boat.

The woman changed into clean clothes, took several children at home, and temporarily came to Li Zheng's house.

The alcoholic's two ex-wives left a total of four children.

They were all boys, the eldest was ten years old, plus the two younger ones born to the woman, the family had six sons.

At night, Yang Ruoqing left her wife in the house with Dazhi, while she went to the kitchen to help her daughter-in-law cook and do household chores.

Luo Fengtang, Zuo Junmo, and Li Zheng were discussing the issue of drunkards in the main room.

It was a very simple and ordinary farmhouse dinner. When the hot food was served on the table, the four children were timid and could not help but swallow their saliva fiercely towards the dining table, which made the adults in the room laugh.

However, it also made everyone's hearts tighten even more.

Li Zheng's wife brought a few small bowls and filled them with food for the four children. The children took them and ran to the wall.

Either standing or squatting, wolfing down the food.

The wife's eyes were wet with tears.

When the woman saw that everyone was so kind to her child, she was so grateful that she didn't know what to say and kept wiping away tears.

"You've been working hard all day, come here and sit down and have a bite to eat, otherwise you won't have enough energy."

Li Zheng's wife took the woman to the table and brought her some food.

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes.

At the dinner table, Li Zheng's wife asked her about her future plans.

The woman shook her head with a confused expression, "I am a woman, and I really don't know what to do..." she said.

Li Zheng's wife said: "A man like an alcoholic will kill you. If you go back and continue to follow him, your life will be really difficult in the future!"

"Maybe, he might strangle him to death in his sleep. I'm not being alarmist," she added.

The woman looked sad.

"Sister-in-law of the Li Zheng family, you are right, I have this worry myself," she said.

"But I really don't know where to go..."

"There is no mother's family or husband's family. One person has six children, four of whom are from his ex-wife."

"Fishing? I can't even cast the net."
