Episode IX
1 Night in the Principal's Office
Director Dong,"Principal, you haven't rested yet?" Busy with what?
Principal Wang: " Look, I'm so busy. I'm redrafting the school rules. The previous rules were too flexible. I had to do something as simple as drafting the school rules myself. Tell me, which thing in the school can make me feel at ease?"
"Yes." Male and female students are not allowed to date in school. This is a good rule. Male and female students are not allowed to walk together, talk together, or get too close to each other. No, Principal, you've made a good decision, but those young teachers will definitely not agree.
Principal Wang: " So what if I don't agree? I still have the right to expel a few students."
Director Dong said,"You have to expel a few of them. Otherwise, no one will listen to you." I also heard that you fell into the field because Teacher Zhou deliberately pushed you into the water.
Principal Wang: " No way. Didn't Teacher Zhou fall into the field too?" He was in a worse state than I was.
School Director Dong: " You don't understand. You fell in the field. If he's still fine, isn't it too obvious?"
Principal Wang thought,"Teacher Zhou is too vicious."
Director Dong,"Principal, you're too kind."
Class 2: Night
Xie Yuhan,[Zheng Dongchen, your braid-cutting operation hasn't started yet?]
Zheng Dongchen: " We'll continue tomorrow. Jiang Fengyun, prepare the scissors."
Wang Guowei: " I'd better not go. I've been beaten up by my dad several times. Didn't you hear that the principal is going to expel us?"
Jiang Lei: " Wang Guowei, don't worry. If Principal Wang dares to expel you, I'll write my name upside down."
Xie Yuhan,"Jiang Fengyun, are you not going too?"
Jiang Fengyun,"As long as Zheng Dongchen goes, I'll go."
Wang Guowei: " I advise you not to go. I just went to the county head's office and saw the principal and the administrative staff working on the new school rules."
Xie Yuhan: " You're too timid. It's fine if you don't want to go, but why are you talking about school rules?"
Wang Guowei: The new school rules state that boys and girls are not allowed to talk or walk together. There were also many rules.
Xie Yuhan: " Male and female students are not allowed to sit in the same classroom or in the same school, and they are not allowed to breathe the same air."
[Jiang Lei: Why don't we just set up a girls 'school?] Dongchen, what do you think we should do?
Zheng Dongchen,"If there's really no other way, we'll strike."
3. The county magistrate's office is white.
Secretary Chen: County Head, are you going to the countryside to hunt locusts today?
County Head Jiang: Call the head of the Du family and ask about the situation of the locusts today?
Secretary Chen: " I've called him. He's still sleeping."
County Head Jiang: " What time is it? He's still sleeping. I'll remove him from his position as the township head."
Secretary Chen: " The person who answered the phone said that he couldn't wake up the Du family after calling them several times. He said that he was tired of fighting locusts yesterday and went home to lie in bed and smoke some opiates. As a result, a fire broke out and Village Chief Du was also burned. He worked all night and just went to sleep."
County Chief Jiang: It would be good if he was burned to death. Tell him to scram. I'll send someone to be the township head in two days.
The Police Station
Captain Liu: " Look at what happened yesterday. What locusts? The smoke won't go away, and the locusts won't go away either. What exactly are locusts?"
Zheng Xiaohong: " What are you muttering about? What's going on in the county government today?"
Captain Liu: " Nothing. We really can't do anything about the locusts."
[Zheng Xiaohong: Is there any movement from the garrison?]
Captain Liu: " They are quiet, but many shops are closed. They have no place to donate."
Zheng Xiaohong,"What's the situation at school?"
Captain Liu: " I don't know, but the students in the school can't make a scene. The bandits in front caused such a big scene, didn't they calm down?"
Zheng Xiaohong: " Don't be careless. Ask more often. I'm very worried. Principal Wang Xiankui is a blockhead. He doesn't know how to be flexible. Many teachers are not convinced by him." Don't make trouble again.
Captain Liu: Dongchen is studying at school. Won't he know a lot of things if you ask him?
Zheng Xiaohong: He's still a child. It's better for him to participate less.
5. White Field Edge
Zheng Chao stood at the side of the field, staring blankly at the hopeless paddy field.
Zheng Chao,[What should we do? What should we do?]
Villager: " The Zheng family is really unlucky this year. I'm afraid there's no hope for them to repay the debt with this year's harvest."
The Du Family's County Head's Office is White
Village head: (shaking Du Jiaquan) Your money has been stolen.
Township Head Du: (Turning over to get up) What are you shouting for? What are you calling your son? My money is fine.
Village boy: It's not that your money was stolen, it's the county head who wants to remove you from your post.
Township Head Du: " You son of a b * tch, you're coaxing me again. Didn't I just send money to the county head a few days ago?"
Village boy: It's true. It was the secretary of the county head who called just now. He asked me to tell you secretly that the county head is very angry about the locust disaster in our village. He thinks that you're not doing your job well and wants to replace you. He asked you to think of a solution quickly.
Township Head Du: What solution? Money is the solution. Money, oh money, I treat you like my darling, even when I sleep I have to hug you, but you have the heart to leave me.
Village head, it's not that the money leaves you, but that if the small money doesn't go, the big money won't come. If you go, the small money will come with big money.
Township Head Du: Yes, you can get a lot of money by getting rid of small money.
Village White of Youfang
The Xie Clan and Wang Clan brought people to Zheng Chao's house to ask for money.
Xie Family: " Brother Zheng, we've been here several times. It's time for you to pay us back."
Zheng Chao said," Brother Xie, please give us a few more days. When the rice is harvested, we will pay you back."
Family Xie: " Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Don't even think about harvesting the crops. Once the locusts attack, we all know how much rice can be harvested. We've also invited the witness, Mr. Wang. If you don't pay us back today, your fields will be ours."
Mr. Wang said," Boss Zheng, we agreed to borrow money. You can't go back on your word. You should pay it back as soon as possible so that I don't make things difficult for you as a witness."
Zheng Chao: " Head Guard Wang, Master Wang, look at how our family has been in trouble one after another. We're seeing locusts in Dachun's harvest again. How can we have the money to pay it back?" Tell the Xie family to give them more time.
Mr. Wang: " Boss Zheng, I can say what I want to say, but I don't know if the Xie family will agree to it. It's written clearly in black and white."
The Xie family said,"It's useless no matter who pleads for mercy. If you don't return the money, the land will belong to our Xie family." Mr. Wang, you're the middleman and also the witness. Don't be biased.
Mr. Wang: You see, I'm not trying to please both sides.
Zheng Qigui: " Don't be too aggressive with the Xie family. You can take the land if you want."
Family Xie: " This is what you, Zheng Qigui, said. Head Guard Wang, you're the witness. Take us to the fields and measure them. Now, these fields are surnamed Xie and not Zheng."
8. White Field
The Xie family brought a group of people to measure the land in the fields.
Villager 1: The Zheng family's fields are the best in the village. If it weren't for the locusts, the Zheng family might really be able to exchange them for the money they borrowed.
The Xie family replied,"What Zheng family? It's all our Xie family now."
Mr. Wang,"Is your Xie family satisfied?"
Xie family member: "Our master has long coveted these fields, but he couldn't find an opportunity."
Mr. Wang thought,'I'm afraid the Zheng family won't have a foothold in Youfang Village anymore.'
The Xie family thought,"The Wang family is also going to take over the Zheng family's house?"
Mr. Wang thought,"It's just that your Xie family is taking advantage of the situation. Can't you allow the Wang family to add insult to injury?"
Villager 2: The Zheng family has no hope. Why don't you come and rent a few acres of land next year?
Villager 1: I'm doing well in the Wang family's fields. It's not easy to change owners.
Villager 2: Do you think the Wang family is good to you? It's fake. Otherwise, I'll rent a few acres to plant.
Villager 1: You should have changed it long ago. The few acres of land you planted are so thin. What's there to grow?
Mr. Wang: " Take your time. I'm leaving. The Wang family should be here by now. My uncle isn't as easy to talk to as you guys. He might have already made his move."
Secretary's Office White
The head of the Du Family walked into the office. Secretary Chen was on the phone.
Secretary Chen: " You're from the Administrative Office? Are you asking about the locust disaster?" Yesterday, our County Chief Jiang personally organized the people of the county and township to smoke and beat the locusts with branches. The locusts have been almost eliminated. Tell Commissioner Jia not to worry. We will send people to watch at all times. Wherever the locusts appear, we will immediately eliminate them.
Village Head Du: Isn't this a blatant lie? Secretary Chen was really the best at lying. This is for you. The county head is so heartless this time. Does he want to kill me?
Secretary Chen: " It's not that the county head is heartless. It's just that Commissioner Jia of the Administrative Office calls every two to four hours to ask about the locust disaster. Last time, when you were recruiting able-bodied men, you ran away without firing a shot at the bandits. I tried my best to cover up for you in front of the county head. I'm afraid I can't cover up the locust disaster this time."
Village Head Du: " The locust disaster is a natural disaster. How can it be blamed on me? Isn't County Head Jiang helpless?"
Secretary Chen: " Keep your voice down. County Chief Jiang is in a fit of anger. If you go to him now, you'll be scolded. Otherwise, you'll go astray."
Township Head Du: What curve? How?
Secretary Chen: What else do you have?
Township Head Du: What else?
Secretary Chen: " Why can't you think straight? It's money."
Township Head Du: Here, here, ready.
Secretary Chen: " Send it to the county head's house first. I'll think of a way."
Township Head Du: If the county head's wife doesn't see me, how can I enter the county head's house?
Secretary Chen,"Just say that Secretary Chen sent you to get the documents at home." The county head wanted it immediately.
School White
The students gathered around to read the school rules.
Classmates read out: No male and female students are allowed to go shopping together, no male and female students are allowed to talk together, no male and female students are allowed to be alone, no, what nonsense.
Zheng Dongchen: (holding the basketball) What are they looking at?
Jiang Fengyun,"I don't know. Why don't we go and take a look?"
Zheng Dongchen: (squeezing into the crowd) What are you looking at?
Jiang Fengyun thought,"School rules? What dogskin plaster?" This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Who made this decision? It seems that women can't even come into contact with them. I don't believe that men aren't born by women.
Zheng Dongchen,"What bullsh * t school rules!"
Jiang Fengyun: (in a low voice) Why don't we tear it up?
Zheng Dongchen: I think so too.
Jiang Fengyun: " They're making way. We're here to play. Make way."
Zheng Dongchen: "Everyone, don't push.(Tearing up the school rules) You're pushing out the school rules."
County Head Bai
Du Jiaquan walked to the door of the county head's house and was stopped by two policemen.
Village Head Du: " Brother, I'm the village head of Majiaba. Secretary Chen asked me to get an important document from the county head."
Policeman 1:" Secretary Chen, you can just call us if you need anything. You have to send someone back."
Policeman 2:" Who cares? Stay here. I'll go ask the county head's wife."
The county head's wife: Look at you. You have to wipe this place clean. Don't let there be dust. Be careful.
The maid replied,"It's Madam."
The county head's wife asked,"What's wrong with you?"
Soldier: The county head sent someone to the house to file a document. Should he be allowed in?
The county head's wife: " He just cleaned it up, and now he has to clean it again. You asked him what documents he put there?"
Soldier: He said he was the head of Majiaba Village, but he didn't say where the documents were.
The county head's wife said,"Let him in."
Village Chief Du walked into the county head's house. The county head's wife was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Township Head Du: Madam County Head, how noble and elegant. She is indeed a woman of the new era.
The county head's wife asked,"Are you the Du family dog of Liu Jiaba's township head?"
Village Head Du: Madam, it's not the Du family dog, it's Du Jiaquan, and it's not Liu Jiaba, it's Ma Jiaba.
The county head's wife: " What Du Family Dog? What Du Family Quan? It's the same. Don't mention Niu Family Ba or Ma Family Ba. I can't tell them apart."
Township Head Du: If Madam says it's the same, then it's the same. This is my filial piety to Madam.
The county head's wife: " What is it? Our county head Jiang won't accept things randomly."
Township Head Du: It's just a small token of our appreciation to County Head Jiang for his hard work in eliminating locusts for the people. Then I'll leave first. Tell County Chief Jiang.
The county head's wife asked," Is Village Head Du in trouble again?"
Village Head Du: Madam's words may be more important to me, but it's not a problem for Madam.
The county head's wife: " I understand. You can go."
Village Head Du: Good, good.
Outside the County Head's Home
Policeman 1:" Let's go quickly. Isn't the county head's wife very sexy?"
Township Head Du: Yes, yes, but it's still rare.
Policeman 1: The county head's wife is much more powerful than the county head. We usually have to be a hundred times more careful when we see the wife.
Township Head Du: I saw the county head's wife, but she didn't get up and didn't ask me to sit down. Is my business over?
Policeman 1:" If the county head's wife can see you, then there's a high chance that the matter won't go south. If she doesn't see you, then it's hard to say." However, the county head's wife is unpredictable, and we don't know either.
White in the classroom
Dongchen, can you do me a favor?
Zheng Dongchen: " Are you kidding me? Is there a time for you, Master Wang, to ask for help?"
Wang Guowei: Dongchen, I'm not joking. Will you help me?
Zheng Dongchen: " Yes, of course I will. What's so mysterious about it?"
Wang Guowei: I want to leave my sister at your house and let your grandmother take care of her for a few days.
Zheng Dongchen: " Wang Guowei, are you crazy? You have a big family and you're still worried that no one will take care of your sister?" Your parents are going away?
Wang Guowei replied,"My parents don't go far away. I go behind their backs."
Zheng Dongchen: " Hiding your sister behind your parents 'backs?"
Wang Guowei:
Zheng Dongchen: " You're having a fever. Could it be that the bandits kidnapped you and extorted a sum of money from your father for everyone to use?"
Wang Guowei,"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I'll tell you the truth."
Oil Workshop Village White
Zheng Xiaofan: " Brother Zhang, why are you in mourning? Who passed away?"
Brother Zhang: " Xiao Fan, your Uncle Zhang was attacked by bandits. He has been gone for more than a month. Your grandpa was also attacked by bandits. Why did you come back only now?"
Zheng Xiaofan: I just escaped from the bandits 'nest. I haven't reached home yet.
Brother Zhang: " Hurry up and go home. The Wang family is bringing people to your house to move things. If you're late, your whole family will be chased out."
Zheng Xiaofan,"Brother Zhang, tell me what's going on."
Brother Zhang: " It's the bandits 'fault. Weren't you captured by the bandits? The bandits asked for 500 yuan. Your family couldn't afford it, so they borrowed 400 yuan from the Xie family and the Wang family to redeem you. Now that you've let them go, your family doesn't have the money to pay them back. Today, the Xie family and the Wang family are bringing people to ask for the land and the house."
Zheng Xiaofan,"How could this be?"
Brother Zhang said,"You'd better go back and take a look. Your father and grandmother are very anxious."
Zheng Chao's Bai Family
Grandma was sitting at the dam outside the house. Many people were moving things out.
Zheng Xiaofan: (Pushing into Grandma's arms) Grandma.
Grandma,"Child, you're finally back." Grandma thought she would never see you again.
Zheng Xiaofan: Grandma, aren't I fine?
Grandma: " Let me see. Xiao Fan, you're tired."
Zheng Xiaofan,"Grandma, wait a moment."
Grandma: Xiaofan, what are you doing?
Zheng Xiaofan: All of you, stop with me.
" What's your name, kid? Go to the side. If we bump into you, the adults at home will gossip with us again."
School Garden White
Zheng Dongchen: " Do you have to say it here? Is it so shameful?"
Wang Guowei,"Save my sister."
Zheng Dongchen thought,"It can't be that serious, right?" What was going on?
Wang Guowei: My sister has bound her feet and it hurts all day long. She wants me to save her.
Zheng Dongchen: " Just don't wrap your feet. What's the big deal?"
Wang Guowei: " That's easy for you to say. My grandmother wants my sister to tie her legs. Even my mother can't do anything about it. What can I do?" So I thought of you.
Zheng Dongchen: " Don't say that. I'll be implicated if this goes wrong. You'd better find someone else."
Wang Guowei said,"Dongchen, let me finish." "Only you can do this. Your sister doesn't have a leg entanglement. Your parents are open-minded. Your grandmother dotes on you the most. I want my sister to stay at your house for a few days. If my grandmother can't find my sister, it's fine if she doesn't have a leg entanglement after a period of time.
Zheng Dongchen: " No, you can't find him at home. You're not fooling around at my house."
Wang Guowei: " My grandma is mean to us. Besides, your family is the police chief. It's fine if she makes a scene. What else can she do?"
Zheng Dongchen:
Wang Guowei said,"No need to think about it. It's settled."
Zheng Dongchen,"Wang Guowei, didn't you set me up for your sister?" Sigh, just take it as helping him. It's rare for him to become a man.
Zheng Chao's Bai Family
Zheng Chao, Zheng Qigui, and Zheng Xiaofan were together.
Zheng Chao: " Lil Fan, you said that Head Guard Wang colluded with the bandit Scarface. This is not a joke."
Zheng Xiaofan: " I'm not joking. I heard it with my own ears from the bandits."
Zheng Chao: " What I heard was just hearsay. A child's words can be counted."
[Zheng Qigui: Brother, just let Xiaofan say it.]
Zheng Chao: Second brother, don't shout at Xiaofan.
Zheng Qigui,"Brother, are you becoming more and more timid?"
Zheng Chao said," Second Brother, it's not that I'm timid. It's just that once I say this, we won't have a foothold in Oil Mill Village anymore."
Zheng Qigui thought,"Do we still have a foothold now?"
Zheng Chao: " Xiaofan, you can't say what you just said. If you say it, it will bring you a fatal disaster."
Afternoon in the Wei Family of the Kingdom
Wang Guowei put down his bag and pulled his sister to ask," Are you feeling better?
Sister Wang: It hurts.
Grandma Wang: Guowei, you're back? Don't touch your sister's feet. You'll get used to it after some time.
Wang Guowei: "I know. My sister said it hurts. I'll take a look at her." (Whisper) Hurry up and untie the belt.
Wang Min: (Untying the belt and getting down to the ground) Ah, it's so comfortable. It doesn't hurt anymore. (Hugging brother and kissing) Thank you, brother.
Grandma Wang: National Guard, what are you doing?
Wang Guowei: "Grandma, I didn't do anything. My sister said that her foot doesn't hurt anymore. She's much better." (Holding Wang Mei's hand) Keep your voice down, let's go.
Grandma Wang: (After a while) Why aren't the two sisters talking? They told me not to take my sister out to play, but they refused to listen.
Evening at Zheng Chao's Home
All the furniture in Zheng Chao's house had been moved out of the house by the Wang family. The Zheng family had lived in the old house for hundreds of years and had changed its surname to Wang. The Zheng family finally had to live on the streets.
Zheng Xiaofan: " Folks, listen to me. Our Zheng family's disaster has a lot to do with Head Guard Wang. It can also be said that it was caused by Head Guard Wang."
Mr. Wang: Zheng Xiaofan, you're just a child. Don't spread rumors. I was the one who redeemed you when you were captured by the bandits.
Zheng Xiaofan: " Mr. Wang, it's true that you're trying to redeem me. Let me ask you, the villagers never come back to where Scarface is, but you're unscathed every time you go to the bandits. What's the reason?"
Mr. Wang: How would I know the reason?
Villager: " Xiaofan, we know you don't usually lie. Can you tell us what's going on?"
Zheng Xiaofan: " Head Guard Wang is Scarface's relative. It was Head Guard Wang and Scarface who discussed the kidnapping of the students in the county." The villagers all know that our family gave us 500 yuan, but Head Guard Wang gave the bandits 402 yuan.
Mr. Wang: " Don't talk nonsense, you little brat. Who will believe your words?" This is really a path to heaven but you refuse to take it, yet you insist on entering hell. Zheng Chao, don't blame me for being ruthless. Arrest this kid for me.
Zheng Qigui: (Picking up the shoulder pole) I'll see who dares to do it. I'll fight it out with you.
Zheng Dongchen's Home at Night
Wang Min: Brother, where are you taking me?
Wang Guowei: Do you want to wrap your feet?
Wang Min: I don't want to. My feet hurt so much.
Wang Guowei: " If you don't want to tie your feet, then listen to me. Otherwise, I'll send you back and let grandma continue to tie your feet."
Wang Min: " I'll listen to my brother. Don't send me back." Brother, this house is so grand.
Wang Guowei: " This is the home of a classmate of mine. His father is also an official. He has a younger sister who is about your age. You live in their house and usually have someone to keep you company."
Wang Min: Then I won't go back?
Wang Guowei: " Are you stupid? You can go back when Grandma agrees not to bandage your feet."
Wang Min: What if Grandma doesn't agree?
Wang Guowei said,"If you don't agree, you won't go back."
Zheng Dongchen,"You siblings are really close. Come in."
Wang Guowei,"You're really a friend." Take my sister in. Wang Min, be obedient and be careful not to wrap your feet.
Wang Min: " I'll listen to my brother. You must come and visit me at any time."
Wang Guowei replied,"I'll come to see you every day after school. Don't worry."
Zheng Dongchen: " Dongjiao, I brought you a playmate. Aren't you happy?"
Zheng Dongjiao: " I'm happy. Come over and we'll play together."
Evening at Zheng Chao's Home
Mr. Wang: Zheng Chao, Zheng Xiaofan is spouting nonsense and framing me. He said that I colluded with the bandits. You know what kind of crime that is. It's a death penalty. If I don't catch him and explain it to the township head, I won't let you off. Brothers, catch them for me. If you catch them, each of you will be given a dollar.
Village Guard: Mr. Wang, we can arrest people, but we'll start with villains before gentlemen.
Mr. Wang: Here, one for each of you.
Village Guard: Mr. Wang, what if they resist us? Should we shoot them?
Mr. Wang said," Zheng Xiaofan came back from the bandits. He joined the bandits a long time ago. It's not illegal to shoot him to death."
Zheng Qigui: " Mr. Wang, don't twist the truth. When did our Xiaofan join the bandits?"
Mr. Wang: I said he joined the bandits, so he is a bandit.
Zheng Chao: " Head Guard Wang, didn't you send the ransom to the bandits to redeem Xiao Fan? Why are you calling him a bandit now?"
Zheng Chao's mother looked down on Xiao Fan.
Zheng Chao's mother: " Xiaofan, go as far away as you can. Don't worry about Grandma. You've offended Mr. Wang, the local tyrant. You won't have a good ending when you come back. Plus, he's a relative of the bandits. Your life is worse than an ant."
Zheng Xiaofan, Grandma.
Xiaofan's mother said," Xiaofan, listen to grandma and leave from the back door."
Zheng Chao's mother: " Hurry up and leave. Don't come back to see Grandma. Hurry up and leave."
Xiao Fan replied,"Grandma."
Zheng Dongchen's Home
Everyone sat at the table and ate.
Grandma: " Dongjiao, where did this little girl come from? She's so pretty."
Zheng Dongchen: "Grandma, she's the sister of one of my classmates. She came to school from the countryside and has no place to stay, so I brought her home to play for a few days. Grandma and Mom, help take care of her for a few days." (Monologue: I don't even blush when I lie now. What's wrong?)）
Grandma: Little girl, are you used to it?
Wang Min: I'm used to eating. Grandma, will you wrap around my feet?
Dongjiao: " Don't worry. Grandma doesn't like to wrap her feet. Look at my feet. They're much bigger than yours."
Wang Min: It's good that you don't wrap your feet.
Grandma: Little sister. Are you that afraid of binding your feet?
Wang Min: It hurts to wrap my feet. Look, my feet are swollen.
Grandma: " Wife, boil some water and warm her feet. Little girl, don't be afraid. She'll be fine in a few days."
Mr. Wang's Home Is Late
Mr. Wang: You guys really don't know what to say. You can't even catch a child.
The villager said," There are so many people protecting the Zheng family. When we went in, the Zheng kid had already run away from the back door." If it weren't for the darkness, we would have caught him.
Mr. Wang: Forget it. He's lucky. You guys rest early.
That night, two black shadows dashed into Mr. Wang's courtyard one after another. A clear gunshot broke the silence of the night.
