After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Mrs. Luo looked pitiful, lying on the wooden cart, looking at her daughter with a sad face. She couldn't understand why her daughter, who was good enough to marry someone, ended up like this. The two men standing there were her father and her blood brother. How could she treat them like this?

"you……"

Luo raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Zhao Huanxi for a long time without uttering a single word. The sadness in her eyes faded, replaced by a hint of resentment.

Seeing this, Zhao Fengnian seemed to have found an opportunity and said with a cold smile:

"Sister, you are such a filial daughter. Our mother has become like this, you might as well make her die of anger and put an end to it all."

Hearing Zhao Fengnian's sarcasm, Zhao Huanxi ignored him and looked at Luo on the cart with his eyes slightly narrowed.

She thought that women in the same miserable situation could understand each other. Just like the original owner felt sorry for her mother. She took on all the household chores, ate the worst food, and secretly saved the good things for her mother.

But her mother secretly gave the things the original owner had saved to her useless brother. If Zhao Mancai and his son were man-eating evil spirits, then this Luo family was their extremely hypocritical accomplice, even more terrifying and more hateful than the evil spirits.

"Ghost."

Zhao Huanxi said coldly.

Hongying felt a little sorry for her sister Huanxi. She had never expected that before getting married, her sister Huanxi had been living under the hands of this group of wicked wolves.

Zhao Mancai didn't hear Huanxi's scolding, but seeing her thoughtful expression, he thought she was worried about Luo Shi. For a job like that, as long as Luo Shi was on his side, why would he worry about Zhao Huanxi not wanting to pay him?

"Humph, you're worse than pigs and dogs. Your mother is in such a state, yet she's unwilling to take even a little money. I don't know what she's been raising you for all these years."

If Zhao Huanxi still had some sympathy for Luo Shi at the beginning, now it has completely disappeared.

In response to Zhao Mancai's words, she sneered: "Since you want money, I will give you a chance."

Then he quickly ran into the kitchen and took out the kitchen knife that had chopped Li Dabiaozi. The knife had also been used to chop the big bone, and there were still some blood stains on it.

"Come, kill me with your knife, and you can take all my property and silver." He threw the knife at Zhao Fengnian's feet, scaring him so much that he staggered.

Zhao Fengnian was just a coward who dared to act arrogantly in his own home. Seeing Zhao Huanxi's desperate attitude, he was a little at a loss.

Zhao Mancai, however, stared thoughtfully at the knife on the ground. He truly wanted to chop his daughter into pieces. If he had known this was what she would become when she grew up, he should have thrown her to the ground and killed her.

"Why, you're afraid? You're just some filthy bastards. I earned my silver by climbing the mountains in the middle of the night to avoid ferocious beasts, digging up herbs one by one. And you come and rob me without saying a word. Let me be frank with you. Either you kill me, or we break off the relationship, or... go back to where you came from. Don't let me look down on you."

The commotion was so loud that several villagers had gathered nearby. At first, they were confused as to what was happening, but from Zhao Huanxi's fragmentary remarks, they understood that the Zhao father and son had seen Huanxi's current good life and had dragged their disabled mother here to extort money.

"Let me tell you, that young man from the Zhao family just asked Zhao girl to marry him off to this young lady from the city."

"Oh my god, how could he say that? I heard that this young lady is the daughter of the escort company in town. You said that he looks like that... He probably can't even call her a girl from his own village, and he wants to call her a young lady."

"In my opinion, Zhao Yatou did nothing wrong. When she divorced Lu Feng, she raised three girls by herself. At that time, the family didn't even have vegetables. Now they are living a prosperous life..."

"You can't say that. This Zhao girl is too extreme. Why does she kill people at the slightest provocation..." "It's not her who killed anyone, why do you care so much..."

"You don't know... our village doesn't have the custom of mistreating girls. But it's different in Shili Village... I have a cousin who lives in that village. He said some families there treat their daughters like animals from birth... Wasn't this Zhao girl also skinny when she first got married?"

“Huh? No wonder…”

The gossip in the crowd continued, and the Zhao family father and son looked increasingly unhappy.

The gossip in his ears seemed to constantly irritate Zhao Mancai's nerves. He looked at Zhao Huanxi, then at the villagers who were pointing and talking.

"One hundred taels of silver. I will sever my bond with you."

The extremely patient and angry voice startled everyone into stopping their gossip.

One hundred taels? He really dared to think so. She already had thirty taels of silver from selling Polygonum multiflorum. Now, she only had a little over forty taels, which was all she had. Was she using herself as a treasury? Unfortunately, their plan was about to fail, because she wouldn't give a single cent.

"No, just kill me. Look everyone, my father, mother, and brother can't bear to see me live a normal life, but they actually ask me for a hundred taels! Even if I dig the mountain hollow, I can't sell it for that much silver! This is clearly asking me to pay with my life! In this case, I will return my life to you!"

He winked at Hongying, picked up the kitchen knife on the ground, put it to his neck, and looked at everyone with a sad face.

"I, Zhao Huanxi, am unfilial. I have been a slave in your Zhao family for over eighteen years. Now that I have escaped from the devil's den, you still won't let me have an easy life. Today, I will return my life to you! In my next life, I don't want to be your Zhao family's pig or dog anymore!"

After saying this, he made a move to cut his neck, but was stopped by Hongying. The people watching were also infected by this tragic atmosphere, and they cursed the father and son for being inhumane and for forcing people into a desperate situation.

The father and son were somewhat embarrassed by this situation. Zhao Fengnian could only look at his father awkwardly. He only wanted the money. He didn't want to cause any loss of life.

Zhao Huanxi was now crying in Hongying's arms. Hongying had never seen her sister Huanxi cry like this before. She looked at the father and son with anger in her eyes.

But Zhao Mancai didn't think his words were excessive at all. She built such a big house, and it would cost at least 80 taels, if not 100 taels. He had raised her with so much hardship. 100 taels, he thought, was too little.

"Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying for? You useless thing, are you going to burn your father to death? Write a letter of severance, I don't have a daughter like you! If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned myself in the urine bucket."

His words were filled with righteous indignation, drawing contempt from the onlookers. A few kinder women even threw rotten vegetable leaves at them.

"I've never seen parents like you. Your daughter is living a good life but you're pushing her to death."

"That's it."

Faced with the crowd's pointing and gossiping, Zhao Fengnian finally lost his composure. At his age, he cared most about saving face. Seeing that several older women were also watching, he decided to go all out and break off his engagement with Zhao Huanxi. He certainly couldn't come up with a hundred taels, but whatever he had would do.

Zhao Huanxi was also thinking about countermeasures at this time. (She cried...she was pretending) She had almost finished acting, she was tired...
