Originally, she had no impression of the heroine Xu Linzhi in the book. But when this little girl jumped out and spoke, many previous scenes flashed through Yuxiu's mind. She was very sure that this woman was the so-called heroine Xu Linzhi herself.

Wow, she is worthy of being the heroine of the original text. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she accused Yuxiu and the other girl of making trouble, which made her seem particularly sensible and reasonable.

At this time, two young men came over. They didn't take the two women with thin arms and legs seriously. They stretched out their hands to grab the wooden sticks in their hands. Yuxiu dodged it and hit them on the shoulders with her backhand twice. The two screamed in pain and quickly retreated into the crowd.

"Don't preach to us. What's the point of eating something that doesn't help you get hungry?"

Yuxiu ignored Xu Linzhi and focused her attention directly on Xu Qingrong.

"It's just right that the village chief is here. Today, the Xu family wanted to beat me to death and take me as a concubine in exchange for food. My mother was just protecting me, but she was beaten all over by those people. Now my father is in trouble. If we don't resist, are we going to be eaten by them until not even a bone is left?"

After hearing this, the crowd began to talk among themselves.

“So dark-hearted…”

"He's willing to kill his own granddaughter..."

"Eating that little food, you're not afraid of choking to death..."

When the voices of these people reached their ears, the Xu family members were so angry that their faces kept changing. They wanted to jump up and curse at them, but because of the wooden stick in Yuxiu's hand, they could only stare at those people without saying a word.

When Yuxiu heard what the villagers said, she felt extremely ironic.

The reason these people said this was not to stand up for the mother and daughter, but because of envy and jealousy in their hearts.

In this day and age, giving up a worthless girl can buy food. If the family saves some food, they can last longer. Maybe they can find a way forward.

It was a pity that all the maids in their family were not compatible with each other, and the rich family was unwilling to give them food when they were sent to the family. Instead, Old Lady Qin's family got the advantage. How could they not feel jealous?

"Ahem... Are you crazy, girl? What nonsense are you talking about here?"

After hearing what Yuxiu said, Xu Qingrong's face immediately turned a little unhappy.

He heard the whispers of the people around him and saw the gleam in the eyes of people like Old Lady Qin, and he realized that what Yuxiu said was probably the truth.

However, as the head of a village, he would have to take such a large group of people on the journey. If he really agreed to exchange his relatives for food, wouldn't these people be in chaos in the future? If other people knew about it, who knows how they would look at him as the village head?

"Don't listen to what others say. They are all your relatives. How could they do such a thing as exchanging a living person like you for food? I'm afraid you just misheard it because you were scared..."

Xu Qingrong still wanted to smooth things over and get the matter over with. As long as this girl was under control, any problems they had in the future could be dealt with at home, no matter if they were beaten to death or disabled, as the village chief he could only turn a blind eye and would not care too much about it.

Cui was a little anxious. Seeing that the village chief was on the side of the Xu family, it seemed that she would not be able to get the household registration documents today. She was thinking in her mind whether she should take her daughter and escape secretly later, when she heard a scream.

"Ah! Help!"

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked carefully, they saw that Xu Wenlin, the eldest son of the Xu family, had been grabbed by the collar and dragged in front of them by Yuxiu. She was holding the wooden stick and strangling his neck tightly. He kept rolling his eyes in pain.

"You damn girl, let him go quickly..."

Seeing that the Xu family was about to rush over in a commotion, Cui became anxious. Suddenly, she had an idea and aimed the hoe in her hand at Xu Wenlin's vital parts.

"Who among you dares to move? Be careful. If the next one starts to tremble, I'll make him no longer a man!"

Her fierce words frightened the Xu family. They were anxious and running around, but they did not dare to act rashly because Xu Wenlin, the eldest son and grandson, was in Yuxiu's hands.

"What do you want?"

His son was controlled by someone, Xu Qinghai could no longer hide behind, so he had to step forward and squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.

"I've already said it before. First, you need to hand over the household registration documents of our family of three. Second, starting today, we, the second branch of the Xu family, will sever our ties with you. To prevent your words from being unfounded, since the village chief and everyone else are here, you should write the severance document and have everyone sign it as a witness."

Seeing that Cui was looking at her with support, Yuxiu stated the two conditions very straightforwardly.

Old Mrs. Qin wanted to throw a tantrum, but Xu Qinghai quickly pulled her sleeve and dragged her out of the crowd, and they whispered a few words to each other.

"The relationship is broken off, and the second child is gone. If the two women leave the Xu family, they will probably be replaced by someone else before they can go two miles away."

"It's more important to save your grandson. If that vicious woman gets angry and your grandson gets hurt, how can I find you a grandson's wife in the future?"

After Xu Qinghai's persuasion, Old Lady Qin gritted her teeth and reluctantly took out an oil-paper bag from her waist. When she opened it, it contained the household registration certificates of all the members of the Xu family.

"Big girl, please loosen up a little, your brother is almost out of breath..."

Xu Qinghai brought the household registration documents of the two family members, but after taking a few steps forward, Yuxiu asked him to put the things on the ground and stepped back.

"I can break off the relationship, but now in this remote place, where can I find writing brushes, inkstones, and other things for you? It would be better if..."

Xu Qinghai wanted to just forget it, but he saw Yuxiu press the wooden stick hard again. Xu Wenlin's eyes almost popped out of his head in pain. He immediately opened his outer robe and tore off a piece of his inner shirt from the hem.

He bit off his index finger with gritted his teeth and quickly wrote a letter of severance with his own blood. He did not bother to do anything else in a hurry and quickly handed it to the village chief Xu Qingrong, begging them to put his fingerprints on it.

I just breathed a sigh of relief when I came back with the document with numerous handprints on it, and then I heard Yuxiu say:

"Uncle is always quick to act. If you do this earlier next time, my brother will suffer less, right?"

Xu Qinghai didn't dare to refute, so he could only smile awkwardly and look at Yuxiu with expectation.

"I have one last request. If you do it, I will let you go immediately."
