Mrs. Wu looked at the cake in her hand and smiled: "Hey, what are you doing? We are all family, why are you being so polite?"

"This pastry doesn't look cheap. You should take it back and give it to Xin and An." Mrs. Wu didn't recognize the words on the oil paper. She just thought that the pastry looked high-end.

"Isn't this my Xin'er? After selling the wild boar, the first thing she thought of was buying you some snacks, saying that she wanted to give you a taste."

Mrs. Wu still refused to accept the snack: "It's a good thing that Xin is thinking about us, but you should take this precious thing back. You just came out of the old Xia family, and you need money everywhere. You should take this thing back. I appreciate your kindness."

Ye was not good at speaking to begin with. Seeing that she could not win the argument with Wu, she said, "Third Aunt, just take it. Xin'er and An'er are still waiting for me at home. I will leave first."

After Ye finished speaking, she left the village head's house without looking back. Wu looked at Ye's back and muttered, "Why did Ye leave so quickly? I haven't asked about An's situation yet."

The village chief came back from outside and saw Wu standing there mumbling to herself. He was puzzled: "What are you mumbling about standing here? Hey, who gave you the cake in your hand?"

Wu waved the snacks in her hand in front of the village chief and said, "It was Ye who came to return the wheelbarrow. These snacks were also sent by Ye. Old man, I have to tell you that we have to treat them better in the future. As long as it does not violate the principles, we should try to lean towards them as much as possible. It is not easy for them to be an orphan and a widow."

The village chief tapped his pipe with the back of his foot: "Do you even need to tell me? Of course I know."

The village chief's wife looked at the village chief and asked, "How is it? How is the Xia family doing?"

When the village chief heard his wife mention this, he sighed and said, "Xia Baolin has been called back, and the doctor from the town has also come, but even they can't do anything."

The village chief's wife also asked in confusion: "Who do you think did this? If it was done by someone I know, how can I sleep well at night?"

The village chief didn't say anything but just kept smoking. After leaving the village chief's house, Ye went directly to the village doctor's house. After paying the money she owed for the medicine, Ye planned to take a shortcut home to have dinner with her two children.

After staying at home alone and eating something, Xia Baolin planned to take a small road to find Wei Yingwu to discuss the matter of arresting Ye. He happened to meet Ye on this road.

Xia Baolin looked at Ye with a sinister look: "Ye, it seems that we are really enemies. We can even run into each other like this."

Seeing the look in Xia Baolin's eyes, Ye secretly thought that something was wrong. She walked to the side and pretended to be calm and said, "We are just breaking off the relationship, not making enemies."

Xia Baolin saw that Ye wanted to escape, so he stood in front of Ye and said, "Aunt, where are you going? Why don't you go with your nephew?"

Ye retreated in panic: "I want to go home, get out of the way!"

Xia Baolin looked at Ye's panicked expression, and a surge of anger came from nowhere. He took a step forward and said in a frivolous tone: "Auntie, why are you so scared when you see me? I won't eat you."

Ye had never seen Xia Baolin like this before: "I'm warning you, don't do anything rash."

Ye staggered back, and just as she turned to run, Xia Baolin stepped forward and grabbed Ye. Ye began to yell in panic, trying to attract the villagers' attention in this way, but she forgot that usually there were not many people coming and going here, and now it was dinner time, so no one would come here. Except for those who were not doing their job, there was usually no one here.

Xia Baolin quickly stepped forward to cover Ye's mouth and warned her fiercely: "If you yell again, I will kill you. Not only will I kill you, I will also kill your child. If you don't believe me, just try it yourself."

Ye was threatened by Xia Baolin's words. Her tears flowed down and she signaled Xia Baolin with her eyes not to kill her child. Xia Baolin felt indescribably happy when he saw Ye begging for mercy.

Seeing that Ye had been obedient, she pushed Ye away and took her to an empty cave. He had discovered this cave by accident before. Except for the dim light, everything else was fine. In addition, the entrance of the cave was hidden and not easily noticed.

When Xia Baolin took Ye away, he did not notice that there were two people in another dark corner who witnessed the whole situation.

"Cuihua, go find Xia Yanxin quickly and tell her that her mother is in danger. I'm following this Xia Baolin now, and I'll mark the road." The man who spoke let go of Cuihua's hand and said softly to her.

Cuihua nodded: "Brother Tieniu, you should also be careful and don't let him find you. I will come to find you soon."

After they finished talking, they ran in two directions.

Cuihua came to the door of Xia Yanxin's house and knocked on it: "Xin girl, come out quickly, something happened!"

Xia Yanxin, who was originally a little restless in the room, heard someone knocking on the door, so she hurried out. When she saw that it was a strange woman standing at the door, Xia Yanxin asked in confusion: "Aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cuihua grabbed Xia Yanxin's hand and was about to run out: "Hurry up, your mother has been taken away by Xia Baolin. If you go too late, your mother will be in danger."

Xia Yanxin became anxious when she heard this: "Where is my mother? Take me there quickly."

Cuihua hurriedly led the way, but when she brought Xia Yanxin to where they had been before, she began to look around for traces of Tieniu. Soon Cuihua pointed in a direction and said to Xia Yanxin, "Xin girl, it's just ahead. Follow me. Tieniu has marked this road."

Xia Yanxin hurriedly followed after hearing this. Cuihua and Xia Yanxin were about half a cup of tea later when Cuihua saw Tie Niu. But before Cuihua could say anything, Xia Yanxin anxiously said, "Uncle, where is my mother?"

Tie Niu pointed to a concealed cave entrance in front of him and said, "Your mother is inside. I didn't dare to get close because I didn't know what was going on inside."

Xia Yanxin heard this and said softly: "You just wait here, or go back, I can handle the next thing myself."
