Way to Punish

The bamboo baskets carried by the farmers were all filled with five or six piglets. When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, a farmer said quickly to Ruyi, who was waiting there, "Manager Zhou, our families sent a total of 23 piglets. According to your instructions, we kept a sow and a male pig ungelded. We have now sent them over. Where's your pigpen? We'll carry them over for you."

"Thank you, thank you! Everyone, follow me this way." Ruyi politely led them towards the pig farm not far from the foot of the mountain.

When they arrived at the pig farm, Ruyi took out a large scale. After putting the piglets over the scale, he asked the farmers to help lock the piglets in the pen.

The farmers looked at the stone slabs in the pen and widened their eyes. The farmer who spoke quickly said, "Oh my! Look, there are stone slabs in this pigpen. Aiya! The pigs live better than us!"
