The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

The setting sun left a long shadow, a blood-red color. At this moment, Xu Wendi looked at the white silver on the table, but she began to worry.

"This trafficker is so easy to fool. He actually believed me when I told him I was stupid. If the trafficker finds out, the little bastard is so smart that he will break off relations with his family. He will definitely regret it, and the 18 taels of silver he got will be gone."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have helped that human trafficker to take that little bastard away today.

Feeling regretful, she hid the eighteen taels of silver under her pillow. But feeling unsafe, she took out fifteen taels and buried them in the open space next to the chicken coop. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

But she changed her mind and thought again: She was worried that this matter would cause some trouble. By then, not only would the eighteen taels of silver be wasted, but she would also be in big trouble.

She thought about it over and over again, but could not find any good way to avoid this risk. At this time, she suddenly thought of her son Wencai. He was a smart scholar and must have a better way than her.

When Xu Yingdi was wondering when her son Wencai would come back, she saw the door of the yard was pushed open. She hurriedly covered it with mud and stomped on it a few times before she looked up and saw that the person who came in was her beloved son.

"Wencai, come into the house with me quickly. I have something to discuss with you."

Ye Wencai was recently very impatient about the return of Liu Liangwei's 25 taels of deposit. His face was gloomy and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness and annoyance.

"Mom, there are only two of us at home, can't we just tell each other directly if there is anything?"

Xu Yingdi paused and looked at her son Ye Wencai in confusion. Based on her understanding of her son, he must have encountered some difficult problem.

"Wencai, what's wrong? What happened to make you so upset?"

Seeing that this was his own yard and no one was around, Ye Wencai sighed, thought for a while, and then told his mother the whole story of what was troubling him and how he could not help his mother no matter what he did.

A few days ago, Liu Liangwei came to him and asked him when he could marry Xing Ge'er. Ye Wencai took this opportunity to find an excuse and wanted to return the deposit to him, but he was threatened by Liu Liangwei.

Therefore, the twenty-five taels of silver in his hand is like a hot potato.

Seeing this, Xu Yingdi did not comfort Ye Wencai, but fearing that there were ears on the other side of the wall, she leaned close to Ye Wencai and whispered a few words.

Ye Wencai raised his eyebrows, swallowed back the complaints that were about to come out, and followed Xu Wendi into the house without saying a word.

The mother and son stayed in the room without even turning on the lights. They chatted for a long time. Xu Yingdi's eyes flickered and she asked, "Wencai, will this method work?"

"Mom, why not? Since we are going to sell him, we have to make sure he never gets his life back. Wouldn't it be a better choice to sell him to Liu Liangwei?"

"Besides, when you made the deal with that trafficker, there was no witness and no contract. We just need to deny it."

"Wencai, that human trafficker might have secretly come here to bring people in the past two days, right?"

Although Xu Wendi was blinded by money, she was also afraid that if this matter failed, this person selling things twice would cause more trouble.

"Mom, didn't you say he always runs to the mountains? Why don't you just follow him? If the human traffickers come, you can call on the villagers to rescue him. I don't believe he won't appreciate it."

"Or maybe, he was kidnapped by a human trafficker, and you can follow him secretly. Then notify me and let Liu Liangwei kidnap him."

Xu Yingdi thought about it and felt that both methods were feasible, so she promised her son that no matter what, she would keep the person under control first.

Afterwards, Xu Yingdi followed Ye Fanxing up and down the mountain for three consecutive days, and her old legs were almost worn out from exhaustion...

Early in the morning, Ye Fanxing and Zao Ge'er chatted briefly and then drove a mule cart to Chiding Town together.

While there was no one on the road in the village, Ye Fanxing's mule cart was seen rolling very fast, raising clouds of dust along the way...

Ye Fanxing was going to the town to sell herbs today, so she left earlier than usual. Xu Yingdi was also very tired from running around in the mountains these days, so she got up an hour later than usual today...

All in all, these two people ended up meeting each other by sheer coincidence.

Xu Yingdi, who got up late, was still waiting at the foot of the mountain stealthily as usual. She watched the sun gradually rise, but did not see Ye Fanxing. She did not know that at the same time, Ye Fanxing was almost reaching Chiding Town on his mule cart.

Xu Yingdi waited for a long time but there was nothing she could do, so she had to start looking everywhere in the mountain. However, she searched all the places that Ye Fanxing often went to, but found no trace of him.

"You little bitch, don't you come to the mountain every day? Why haven't you been seen yet today?"

"Could it be that he was taken away by human traffickers?"

She shook her tired head. There were no outsiders in the village last night and this morning. The little bitch could not have been taken away by human traffickers. She was most likely in the village.

As Xu Yingdi was thinking about it, she yawned loudly, dug out the yellow-brown eye boogers hanging from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and walked down the mountain while cursing. After all the hassles in the morning, she didn't expect to even see a human figure.

Xu Yingdi, who didn't get enough sleep, was getting more and more angry. She treated the weeds on the roadside as if they were star bugs and kicked them to vent her anger.

This weed was as tenacious as Xing Ge'er, but Xu Yingdi lost her balance due to her fat body. She let out a sharp scream and rolled down the hillside.

The shrill screams startled the birds in the woods. The villagers in the fields looked towards the mountain, and their faces suddenly became solemn. They were all worried about Xing Ge'er, who had been going up the mountain frequently recently.

"Could it be that Brother Xing ran into a wild boar again?"

"Why do the wild boars in the mountains always come down the mountain recently? It seems that we need to ask the village head to organize some people to clear the periphery of the mountain."

"I agree with this. Otherwise, we would be very nervous when we go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables or chop firewood."

"Wait, why does this voice sound so similar to that of the shrew Xu from Ye Lao San's family?"

“That sounds like it to me.”

"Why did the lazy Xu who never even picked up a piece of firewood go up the mountain?"

"Who knows? Should we go inform the head of the village and the old Ye family?"

"We should still say something. We can't let wild boars or other beasts come down the mountain to harass us. Besides, even if Xu Yingdi is not a human, she is still a life after all."

Several villagers looked in the direction where the scream came from, frowned and discussed for a moment, then two of them dropped their work and ran out of the field. One went to find Qian Lizheng, one went to notify the Ye family, and the others stayed where they were and watched.

Just then, someone pointed to the path leading to the town and said, "Look, isn't that Ye Wencai?"
