And now, all that had happened to Wang Dali and the others was that they had been punished with a beating by the plank, and after recuperating for some time, they were energetically bouncing around once again. When the villagers saw them, they would remember the disgusting things they had done and remind themselves not to cross Mo Family.
This was precisely the effect Mo Yan had intended to achieve when he orchestrated this drama!
In the blink of an eye, the sixth day of June arrived, and on this day, Mo Family's new house would have its ridgepole raised. It was the first grand occasion for Mo Family since their flight to Jing City, and they gave it great importance.
Before the official ridge-raising ceremony, most of Liu Yang Village had turned up, because not only was there a spectacle to watch, but following the traditional custom after the ridge was raised, Mo Family would also distribute candy, steamed buns, and other foods, an irresistible temptation for the villagers.
