After Xia Chu called the door, she waited for a while, but no one came to open it.
"Miss, are you not at home?" Cuihua asked.
"Maybe. I'll shout again. If no one comes, go back." Xia Chu increased her strength and knocked on the door again. Unexpectedly, the door was not bolted and opened a crack. Someone shouted from inside, and seemed very anxious. I don't know what happened. "Grandma Chang?"
"Hey, who's there?" Someone in the yard answered, and then the door opened. An old woman stood in the doorway, her hair disheveled and her eyes red. She saw Xia Chu and recognized her immediately, "Miss Wang, would you like to buy some flowers?"
"Yes," Xia Chu saw that she didn't invite herself in right away, guessing that something might be going on at home, so she smiled and said, "If you're busy, I'll come another day."
Grandma Chang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly a man appeared behind her and opened the door completely. When he saw Xia Chu for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, then looked her up and down, and a smile that made people uncomfortable appeared on his face. "Buy flowers, Miss, please come in."
Xia Chu took a step back. The man's eyes made her very disgusted. She said with a cold face and a low voice: "No need. I'll come next time." After that, she turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly became anxious and dared to reach out to pull her.
Cuihua stepped forward and slapped the hand away, then stretched out her arms to block the man, her eyebrows raised as she sternly asked, "What do you want to do?"
"You..." This blow didn't hurt much, but being hit by a woman was hard for him to accept. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the lady turned around and looked at him coldly. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said jokingly, "I'm just worried about losing business. I'm anxious."
"Sanping!" Grandma Chang was slow to react. She took two steps to catch up with her nephew and grabbed him. "Go in now."
"Aunt, I just want to help you sell flowers. Only by selling flowers can I have money to pay you back." Chang Sanping turned around and threatened with a fierce look: "Don't you want my brother Fugui's hand?"
"You, you beast!" Grandma Chang was so angry that tears fell when she thought of her son's current behavior. "You even harmed your own cousin."
"Miss, let's go quickly." Cuihua stretched out her hand to protect Xia Chu and urged her in a low voice.
Xia Chu didn't say much and walked back. She didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. Judging from the conversation just now, this man was not a good person.
"Hey, miss, don't go. Buy some flowers first." Chang Sanping shook off his aunt's hand and rushed to Xia Chu's front. Such a beautiful woman was rare. The young master loved beautiful women, so he had to keep this person. If he caught the young master's eye, perhaps he would be appreciated and enjoy a life of luxury with him.
"Get out of here!" Xia Chu shouted coldly, while keeping his body tense. If the other party continued to make trouble, he would hit him and then prepare to run away.
"Sanping! Let them go! We'll find a way to pay the debt!" Grandma Chang was almost thrown over and took several steps back before she could regain her balance. Seeing her nephew stopping others, she hurried over, grabbed Chang Sanping, and tried to drag him away.
But she was an old woman in her fifties, so how could she pull a man in his prime? Chang Sanping threw her to the ground with just a little force. Grandma Chang cried out in pain, and it took several seconds for her to get up.
Chang Sanping pointed at her and said, "Don't get in the way! If it weren't for our relationship, why would I come here in advance to report the news? When our young master comes later, he won't be as easy to talk to as me!"
"Grandma Chang!" Xia Chu saw the old woman fall to the ground and couldn't bear to leave her alone, so she stepped forward to help her up. Grandma Chang covered her back with a look of pain, and cried out in pain when she moved.
Cuihua also came over to help, and the two of them finally managed to help the man up.
Xia Chu glared at Chang Sanping, "This is your aunt, what are you doing!" Then she turned to look at Grandma Chang, "Grandma Chang, let's go report it to the police!"
"Report to the police?" Chang Sanping laughed as if he had heard something funny. "It's only natural to pay back a debt. Reporting to the police is useless."
"It's no use..." Grandma Chang was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her face. Her tailbone seemed to be broken, and the pain in her lower back made it difficult for her to speak. "That beast took my son to the gambling house and owed him a huge sum of money."
Xia Chu didn't actually want to report to the police, as reporting to the police was a very troublesome matter. She mainly wanted to scare Chang Sanping away, but he wasn't afraid at all. She looked around, but couldn't think of anything that could be used as a weapon. This man must be stopping her for no good reason, as he just said someone else was coming. If someone really came, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get away. Grandma Chang's house was very large for growing flowers, and the nearest house was 500 meters away. She had to get rid of this scum and leave quickly. She glanced at the man below the waist, where she would kick him later, and she had to hit him with one shot.
She recalled Tian Mier's domineering look in her mind and tried to imitate it, "My father works in the government office. If you dare to do anything to me today, you will spend the rest of your life in jail." It would be best if she could scare him off, otherwise she would have to use force.
Chang Sanping hesitated. The government officials were not easy to mess with. If it was just money, the young master would not be worried.
At this moment, a tall man came over and asked, "Chang Saner, what are you doing?"
There were two people following behind this man. They had well-developed muscles and fat faces, and they looked like they were not someone to be trifled with.
Oops.
Xia Chu gritted her teeth, hoping to scare them. They weren't lying. If Wang Yong knew, none of them would be able to escape. But the present was the most important thing. She glanced at Cuihua. Cuihua helped Grandma Chang aside and stood firmly in front of the young lady.
"Hey, who is this little beauty?" Fang Shaobao's eyes lit up and his gaze was glued to Xia Chu's face, examining her inch by inch.
"Young Master, she came to the Wang family to buy flowers," Chang Sanping whispered, "I originally thought she was pretty and wanted to keep her flowers as a gift to the Young Master. But she said her father was from the government, so we..."
"What's wrong with the government officials? They're not the county magistrate's daughter." Fang Shaobao didn't care. He couldn't bear to take his eyes off the little beauty's face. "Who knows if what she said is true or not? At worst, I can just take her home. I won't get tired of playing with this face for half a year."
Xia Chu hadn't expected to be so unlucky even going out to buy flowers. She definitely couldn't escape from those four men. She'd heard what the young monk had said, and she wondered what to do. She clutched her clothes, surveying her surroundings, thinking of a possible escape route. The main road was wide, so four men wouldn't be able to completely block it, but without any shelter, it would be easy for someone to catch her.
Facing four tall and strong men, Cuihua's heart was trembling, but she couldn't run. She opened her mouth slightly, lowered her voice very low, and said as quietly as possible: "Miss, if you have the chance, run quickly."
