After hearing that Xia An had actually escaped from the mountain, Xia's mother felt unprecedented fear and panic, compared to Xia Mei's shock.

Xia An actually escaped. Li Laogen definitely had no good intentions in tricking them here!

"You ran away because you didn't keep an eye on him. What does this have to do with us? Why should we compensate you?!"

Mother Xia pulled Xia Mei behind her and spoke viciously to Li Laogen.

She knew that she must not be cowardly at this moment. If she showed even the slightest bit of timidity, this disgusting man would definitely climb up the pole and make more and more excessive demands on them.

Mother Xia only has this one precious daughter. How could she not know what this man is thinking?

"It has nothing to do with you?"

Li Laogen moved forward with his eyes wide open. When he spoke, a foul odor came out of his mouth and attacked Xia Mei directly. Xia Mei dodged in disgust.

"You sold the person to me. How do I know if you took the money and took the person back?"

Mother Xia sneered in panic, "You've seen my daughter, too. She's ugly and stupid. Why would I take her back? To make others laugh at her?!"

"Then I don't care!!"

"See my leg? My leg was broken by your daughter!" He was so angry when he said this. Ever since he fainted for no apparent reason that day, he found that his leg was broken after he woke up.

He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it would heal in a few days, but it turned out not to be the case. His legs could no longer stand straight, and now his work was affected, not to mention the ridicule from the villagers...

"That's Xia An's business. It has nothing to do with us..." Xia's mother protected Xia Mei and retreated. Xia Mei seemed to be still in shock and had not come to her senses.

Li Laogen didn't want to listen to her rambling at all. He walked forward step by step, slowly moving his eyes to Xia Mei who was standing beside him, "Since you sold your daughter to me, now that one is lost, you have to compensate me with the other one!"

His legs were limping, but for some reason he gave them a huge sense of oppression.

"You are simply dreaming. How can you touch my daughter? You are a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. Don't even think about touching my daughter!" Perhaps because she was eager to protect her child, Mother Xia burst out with great courage and tried to push Li Laogen down.

But she always underestimated the strength of an adult male, especially a farmer from the mountains.

If people who make a living by working hard can be knocked down by her at will, then how can Li Laogen survive in the mountains?

After Xia's mother failed to push him and was bounced back and fell by her own strength, she watched Li Laogen approach Xia Mei with an evil smile.

"You, what are you going to do?!"

Xia Mei finally reacted. The great superiority she had felt before when facing this small mountain village was swept away by the panic at this moment.

She finally discovered the horror of this mountain village. If this person was unwilling to let them go, then it was very likely that she and her mother would be buried in this mountain.

"What are you doing? Didn't your mother say that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat? That's why she wrapped you up so tightly... Well, today I must try what swan meat tastes like!"

Although Li Laogen had a lame leg, he was much more agile than Xia Mei. He caught up with Xia Mei, who was trying to escape, in just a few steps and grabbed her back.

"what--!"

In horror, Xia Mei collapsed to the ground.

"Don't touch her, Xiaomei, run! Run!" Seeing Li Laogen approaching her daughter step by step, Xia's mother was terrified and angry.

"I... I can't run! I can't move!!" A huge fear struck her heart. Xia Mei collapsed to the ground. She felt that she had no strength left in her body. She was trembling with fear. She could only watch Li Laogen approach her step by step...

"No!" Mother Xia wailed in despair, tears welling up in her eyes. Impulsively, she hugged Li Laogen's feet to stop him from moving forward.

Li Laogen turned around and wanted to kick her away.

Mother Xia cried bitterly, her eyes were red, and she spoke again as if she had mustered up a lot of courage: "As long as you don't touch her, I, I can do it for her..."

She is old and has already given birth to a child for her husband. If she can save her daughter, she can endure it. Even if her husband doesn't want her in the future, she still has her daughter to rely on.

Mother Xia had already made up her mind. Xia Mei, who was standing by, was also shocked. She didn't expect her mother to do this for her. She was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Mother……"

"Huh, you think I'm stupid!"

Li Laogen wouldn't fall for the sentimental talk of these mother and daughter. On one side is an old and worn-out man, and on the other side is a young and beautiful girl. How could he not know how to choose?

He raised his foot and crushed Xia's mother's fingers heavily. "What are you doing, old man? If you really want a man, I'll ask some buddies to serve you later!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to pounce on Xia Mei. Xia Mei was startled and said in panic while struggling: "Don't come over! My mother said she can take my place, go find her!"

"..."

Li Laogen and Xia's mother were both shocked by her words. Xia Mei hadn't realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said and was still repeating the words.

Mother Xia was stunned, while Li Laogen sneered and said to her: "It seems that you and your daughter have a really good relationship. Look how much your daughter cares about you. She even knows to give her man to you!"

He turned his head and raised his hand to remove all the sunglasses and mask on Xia Mei's face, "It's okay, I'll teach you a lesson now - damn it!!"

Li Laogen jumped up from the ground, his eyes full of disgust, and kicked Xia Mei on the ground, "What the hell! You are so ugly and yet you come out to scare people. I thought you were some popular girl!"

"What the hell are you pretending to be, ugly thing!"

This one is ten times uglier than the Xia An that was sold to him before.

"My sunglasses, sunglasses..." Xia Mei hurriedly knelt on the ground, found the sunglasses and mask scattered on the ground, and put them on hurriedly.

But Xia's mother, who was standing by, had already seen her appearance and was also frightened and speechless.

Just now, that ugly person... turned out to be Xiaomei? Her daughter?!

How could this be?

She must have seen it wrong. Her daughter Xiaomei was so pretty, how could she look like that just now? Xia An was obviously the ugliest one.

Must have read it wrong.

"Li Laogen...if you really want compensation, there are ways." Mother Xia had calmed down, and she spoke with forced composure.

"We dare not call the police for human trafficking. As long as you let us go, we will help you find Xia An. If we really can't find her, we will return the betrothal gift to you. You won't lose anything anyway!"
