Chapter 166: Almost Caused a Laughing Stock!
was considered to be a scholarly family. How could she become a servant This was simply an insult.She hurriedly called a maidservant to fetch twenty taels of silver, insisting on giving them to Li La...Mrs. Cui had cried enough, and seeing the chubby girl comfort her like a little adult, she couldn't help but laugh again.
"Oh, Fu Niu is truly a blessing to have been born to me. Even if they scheme against me, I am willing."
"Auntie is the best!" Although Jia Yin liked Cui's wife, she couldn't do something like abandoning her parents. She could only grin with her little white teeth and smile so cutely and lovingly.
Mrs. Cui hugged her and kissed her with a smile, "It's my fault for being greedy. This is just fine."
The next morning, everyone got up early as usual and busied themselves.
The two villagers of the banyan tree munched on their crackers as they walked to work, and from afar they saw that the mountain valley was shrouded in fairy mist. They couldn't help but feel an aching envy.
"Before, the county office named this ravine "Broken Gold Beach," and everyone laughed. Where's there any gold here It's obviously a rubble beach! We've called it Broken Stone Beach for so many years, but who knew that when they arrived, hot springs appeared, and Broken Stone Beach really became Broken Gold Beach!"
"Yes, I can't help but call it Shuitang Beach either. But think about it, the person who named it Suijin Beach must have been a very capable person. They probably knew what would happen today, so they named it Suijin Beach"
"That's unknown. If I could meet someone like that, I would definitely ask my son if he could take the imperial examination."
"Then let me ask, when can I get married and have children to carry on the family line!"
Both burst into laughter and, upon arriving, followed Mr. Yan to the valley to work.
The women had finished washing the breakfast dishes and were going to tend their vegetable garden in Xincun.
Jia Yin didn't sleep well last night because she changed places. She was lazying around in her hutch, watching Grandma and a few old ladies chatting and picking wild vegetables. Her mind was wandering through the small courtyard.
It has only been two days, but the watermelon vines have grown thicker and longer. We need to move them quickly this evening, ideally planting them in the riverbank tomorrow.
She was about to turn over the watermelon vines when a green shadow suddenly darted out of the ditch, startling her.
When she figured it out, goosebumps erupted all over her body.
How could she have forgotten, the green beauty that had bitten her grandmother back then was taken in by her and kept in her space!
These days, she had been running for her life in the mountains. Once she reached the south of the Yangtze River, she began large-scale construction projects and forgot about this hidden danger.
Fortunately, the space is quite large. The first two times I came in personally, I didn't encounter this little snake. Otherwise, she would have been bitten to death inside the space, which would have been a real laughingstock!
She hurriedly found a tight fish basket in the front yard and searched the garden carefully. She finally caught the little green snake and threw it in.
Although the green snake is dangerous, I'll keep it for now, just in case I might need it later.
After all, she's still just a child. Her self-defense abilities are too weak, and she can't let go of even the slightest means. Who knows when it might save her life!
The little green snake had been free and independent for half a year, then suddenly it was caught, furious almost to madness. It struggled frantically inside the fish basket.
Unfortunately, the fish basket is woven from oiled rattan, as hard and solid as iron. Let alone bumping into it, even biting wouldn't break it!
Jia Yin let out a long sigh of relief, grabbed a piece of fruit, and lay down in her bed, sneaking bites to calm herself down.
After eating half the fruit, Lao San came again.
He had absolutely no idea he was being trailed yesterday, so all his dirty deeds were exposed.
This moment, he was worse off than yesterday, opening his mouth to continue crying.
As a result, Tao Hongying and the other women had just finished planting rapeseed and returned. Before he could even speak, Tao Hongying rushed up and scratched his face bloody.
"I'll have you know your mouth is cheap! I'll make you pay for this! Fu Niu is my own flesh and blood, you blind fool! You dare say my daughter isn't mine!"
While speaking, she slapped Hu Laosan several times.
Lao San was stunned, before he could react, the other women rushed over and directly tackled him to the ground.
You scratch me, I pinch you, and if someone is stuck, we kick them.
Hu Lao San immediately turned into a rolling gourd, only able to hold his head and dodge, stretching his neck and screaming, "Stop! Why are you hitting me! Help! Help!"
"Kill you, you scoundrel, living is just wasting food!"
"To sell even one's own brother and sister-in-law, this is simply the act of a beast!"
"You dare to come back here and cause trouble You've eaten bear gall! This old lady has killed wolves before, so I'm not afraid of you, little punk!"
"Knock out all his teeth and see how he lies to people afterward!"
"Cut out his tongue! Cut his tongue off!"
Hu Laosan had probably guessed that his plan had been exposed. Although he didn't know where he'd gone wrong, the most important thing was to escape for his life.
Hearing the women being so fierce, he was truly scared. Gritting his teeth and enduring the beating, he got up and ran away.
Just as the result burst out of the crowd of women, he was kicked back in by Old Li's foot!
His beloved daughter, the one he kept close to his heart and warmed with his body to keep her alive, how could she become someone else's!
He didn't sleep well last night because he was so angry. It wasn't the poor Mrs. Cui's fault, but beating up Old Third Hu was necessary to vent his anger!
The village head and Zhao Shujun and others also gathered over, seeing that the women had about finished beating, they shouted loudly, "Alright, everyone stop!"
The women's labored breaths softened as they quietly obeyed.
Looking at Lao San, his clothes were torn and his hair was pulled out in clumps, resembling a bird's nest. His face was bruised and swollen, with only a sliver of his eye visible.
The women, they really don't hold back when they make a move.
However, no one felt sympathy for Old Hu San.
This person has sold even their own wife and siblings, they can no longer be treated as a human being.
The village head stepped forward, didn't beat around the bush, and directly exposed Hu Laosan's plan.
"Don't pretend anymore, everyone knows you came here for the Jiao family. You blind fool, Fu Niu belongs to the Li family, how could she possibly be Cui Fu's daughter"
Hu Lao San was so scared that he nearly died, quickly begging for mercy.
"Village head, I was wrong. I sold myself into slavery to the Jiao family. They knew I was from our village, so they beat me and forced me back. Waaah, I didn't want to either. They took Big Brother and his mother, I didn't dare disobey..."
At this point, he was still lying. Everyone's last shred of sympathy for him was gone.
The village head shook his head and sighed, directly calling out to Li Lao Si and the others, "Tie him up, gag him, and let Mrs. Cui take him away."
Li Laosi nodded, didn't need anyone else, and in three or five moves tied up Hu Lao San like a zongzi.
Hu Lao San was scared out of his wits, he tried to scream, but Tao Hongying grabbed a handful of sand and stuffed it straight into his mouth, choking him until he coughed and gagged.
Jīyì even pulled off his smelly socks and stuffed them in there.
He's a sweaty guy and too lazy to wash, the smell of his socks isn't very pleasant.
Everyone was choked back a few steps, and upon looking again, Old Hu had rolled his eyes. It was both infuriating and amusing.
Soon, Hu Lao San was thrown onto the carriage. Li Lao Si was not at ease and brought his family to escort Mrs. Cui and Qiao Sao back to the manor.
People watched the carriage drive away, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Hardship is the best test of character. If he had always been in Qing Shui Village, who would have known that Hu Lao San was such a beastly person
It was the few villagers from the outlying hamlets who, from start to finish, couldn't help but shrink their necks in discomfort.
I had heard that this band of men came through the mountains, killing wolves and black bears, but they didn't believe it.
Now it looks like, that's definitely true!
Since women are all so fierce, what more can be said of men
After returning to the village, be sure to tell everyone about this. Under no circumstances should you offend them!
Today's three meals are here, don't overfeed Huahua, babies!ter and patted her gently, "Our Fu Niu'er knows what's best. I'm the one who's worried she'll get taken advantage of. Last time she played with Nannan together, didn't she get hurt"Tao Hongying recall...
