Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused
Chapter 175: Separation and Escape 13
"Monkey butt, monkey butt!"
Little boy Xu Hua puffed up his eyelids and made faces, but it ended in tragedy. He was tickled in the armpits by the angry and embarrassed Xu Jia Dalang, who laughed non-stop.
The next morning, the Zhang family brought several sons to the Xu family and made a scene, demanding that they hand over their dog eggs.
Xu Baoxing hid in the house and trembled. She really didn't know where Zhang Goudan had gone. He just said a few words. Why did the Zhang family assume it was her fault?
Wu Hua was furious after her son was adopted out. She mustered up the courage to yell at the old woman from the Zhang family, "Where did you die? What does your son have to do with my Bao Xing? You can blame others for just one word you say on the street. If my chicken looks at you tomorrow and gets lost, shouldn't I ask you for compensation? The day my house was robbed, I saw you standing by the door and wandering around for a long time. Do you think you stole my things? Pay me back my hard-earned money!"
The old lady of the Zhang family was furious. She had agreed to pay five taels of silver as compensation, but why didn't he keep his word?
"If your family doesn't give you money, you'll have to marry this bitch to my family as my wife, or I'll hang myself at your doorstep.
Wu Hua's eyes lit up, and she toyed around in the woodshed, found a hemp rope, and threw it in front of the dead woman, raising her chin. "Go ahead and hang yourself, I'll be watching."
"You...you old hag, believe it or not, I'll let my son tear your house down!"
"Tear it down! Look at what you can tear down, and tear it all down. Oh, and if you dare to touch us, you must kill our entire family. Otherwise, I will have my youngest son write a petition and have the entire Zhang family imprisoned."
Thanks to the inspiration from the bitch, Wu Huazui was particularly skillful and defeated the Zhang family, forcing them to leave dejected.
"Bah, you still want to fight with me!"
Old Mrs. Wu returned to the house with her hands on her hips, feeling triumphant. Her aura instantly rose to two meters.
Two months passed. Xu Sanniu went to the city every two days to inquire about the situation. Today, he happened to see a servant of a wealthy family walking in a hurry. He went up to him and gave him one or two taels of silver to get the information out of him.
Upon hearing the news, he hurried back to the village in a mule cart and went to the village chief's house to tell him the general situation.
Xu Chang stood up in shock, knocking over the stool and clutching his hands in pain, "Sanniu, are you serious?"
"Brother Chang, it's absolutely true."
Xu Chang believed in his heart that Sanniu was not a person who acted without purpose, but since it concerned the livelihood of the entire village, he had to go and check it out in person.
Xu Sanniu knew the other party would investigate on their own, so he chose to speak out now. Otherwise, he would have informed the village chief long ago. With only ten days left, he could openly prepare things.
'dang dang dang'
The gong sounded, and everyone gathered in the drying yard in confusion.
"What a big deal! This is also the time to collect grain taxes."
"I don't know. I just got here too. Are they going to recruit soldiers again? Oh my God, are we going to be able to survive?"
"Look at you two, you think things are so bad, maybe it's a good thing."
Everyone could only comfort themselves by thinking positively. After hearing what the village chief said, the whole place was boiling. Some people were crying and wailing. Their good lives were gone just like that. Was there any chance they could live?
Xu Chang struck the gong a few more times, and when everyone quieted down, he continued, "For now, we have to find a safe place. For those who don't want to leave, please think about your young children. As long as there is green hills, there will be no shortage of firewood. Everyone go back and pack your things. We will officially set out at midnight in ten days.
Remember, if anyone leaks this and attracts soldiers, you will be kicked out of Xujia Village. We can't leave, and then your husbands and children will all have to go up and fight!
After today, anyone leaving the village must report to the police. I will send several waves of people to the city to purchase food. However, I am not a sentimental person. You can go and tell your family members the afternoon you leave."
After Xu Chang finished speaking, he went home with his hands behind his back, regardless of everyone's reactions.
Some elderly men and women fell to the ground in tears. What should they do with their old bones?
Families with conscience help their elderly parents, showing that they will never abandon them as long as they have food to eat. A small number of unscrupulous people are making a fuss about dividing the family property, and are shirking responsibility for who should own the elderly.
Xu Daniu is lazy by nature. He doesn't care when his family has no money. He relies on his wife and daughter to pick wild vegetables and borrow food to survive. Now he has to flee the famine and is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Xu Baoxing knew her father's character, and for the sake of her own happiness she could only let her second sister down.
Xu Daniu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at his second daughter like she was a commodity and nodded. With her looks, she would probably fetch a lot of money if sold as a concubine or to a brothel.
Xu He's eyes were numb, what was meant to come would eventually come.
'banging'
After hearing what the matchmaker said, Xu Tao smashed the cup fiercely. She knew Xu Daniu was cruel, but she never expected him to be so cruel and ruthless. For an extra five taels of silver, he was willing to sell his daughter to such a filthy place.
I hurried out and searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. I was panicked and hurried back to ask my mother and father for help.
Fang Zhi's heart skipped a beat; she knew where the poor child was. Without saying anything more, she quickly ran to the riverside and saw her second niece about to jump into the river.
"Xiao He, what are you doing?"
"Wow, auntie, I'm sorry, I can't live anymore. I would rather die than be sold to a place like that."
Xu He eavesdropped on her father's conversation and was struck by lightning when she heard those words. That was her biological father, and her mother was standing next to him without saying a word.
She could accept her parents selling her to a widower and disabled man for money, but why in that kind of place? Why? Who could help her with thirty taels of silver? No one, she would rather die than accept it.
"I'm sorry, Aunt San."
Xu He threw himself forward with all his strength, but ended up being grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Fate.
"Second cousin, are you stupid? You still have us."
Xu He covered her face and broke down crying. Xu Tao felt sad because of her crying. She hugged her and told her plan, but now she had no idea what the village chief's family would think about the extra ten taels of silver.
At worst, their family can buy them back. Anyway, they have been adopted out, so Xu Daniu should not think that he can control them.
Xu He knelt down suddenly and kowtowed three times. "Thank you, aunt and sister, for making plans for me, but I can't. You should use your money now to buy things, not waste it on my worthless life."
Hearing this, Xu Tao immediately became unhappy. Who is nobler than who? Don't we all want to work hard to live well in this world and have our own peaceful place?
After cursing for an hour, I felt a pity for my second cousin who was getting more and more excited as she was being scolded. I thought she might have become stupid, even though she spoke a little excitedly.
Xu He hugged her sister and said, "Thank you, Taotao. I won't let you down. If it really doesn't work out, I'll kill that family and die with them."
Fang Zhi... How could such a good child suddenly... Never mind, it's better to be a little cruel.
