âIndeed, Uncle Dacheng was such a good man back then, but his wife and daughter ended up like this. Itâs really sad.â
âAlright, you guys move aside first; Iâll go in and take a look.â After the village chief finished speaking, he pushed them away and ignored Zhang Laosan as he entered the courtyard.
He saw Er Zhuang climbing onto Aunt Zhangâs body like a tiger. He was shocked as he exclaimed, âWhoa, whatâs going on here?â
âChengrui, hurry up and get Er Zhuang up,â he said to Gu Chengrui.
âIsnât this for peace and quiet?â Gu Chengrui stood up and patted Er Zhuangâs head. âGood job. Iâll make you something good tonight.â
âWoof, Woof.â Er Zhuang immediately stood up and barked happily, then wagged his tail around him.
Aunt Zhang crawled up, but her legs were as soft as noodles. She just stood up before sitting back down again.
The group of onlookers immediately laughed and said, âBeing timid, howâd you get the guts to do things like human trafficking?â
âIsnât this because she has a backer?â
âLook, she peed in her pants. The ground is wet.â
âReally? Itâs so embarrassing. Letâs see if she still dares to act all haughty.â
âYou bastards, shut up!â Aunt Zhang shouted in embarrassment.
Zhang Laosan wanted to raise his hand and hit someone.
The group of young men wanted to continue goading them, but the village chief raised his hand and said, âAlright, shut up. Letâs talk about serious matters first.â
After he finished, he looked at Zhang Laosan and said, âI heard that youâre going to sell Zhang Qingqing in exchange for food for your married daughter.â
âVillage chief, weâre not selling her. Weâre suggesting a marriage to her. Itâs just that the betrothal gift has been changed to food.â Zhang Laosan replied with a dry laugh.
âYes, yes. Zhang Qingqing is already of marriageable age. Weâre talking about her marriage.â Aunt Zhang quickly echoed.
âTalking about marriageâ¦â
âYou introduce me to a retard, someone who killed two of his wives.â Zhang Qingqing roared in anger.
âNonsense, who told you that he killed someone? They were the ones who died of illness.â Aunt Zhang immediately rebuked Zhang Qingqing.
At the same time, she felt a little uneasy. If this matter were to spread to the groomâs family, she wouldnât have a good ending.
âYour good son told me. If he hadnât let it slip, I wouldnât have known that you guys were this cruel. You clearly wanted to kill me.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShut up. How can you talk to your elders like that?â At this moment, an older man with white hair and a walking stick walked in.
Zhang Laosanâs face turned ugly when he saw the man. âBig Brother, why did you come here?â
âIf I didnât come, how would I know that you bastards could do such a shameless thing?
âZhang Laosan, youâve really brought shame to our Zhang family.â Zhang Laoda expressed his disappointment.
âAlright, since youâre the head of the family, I think you should handle this matter.â Seeing this, the village chief retreated to the side and sat at the table to drink a cup of tea.
Zhang Laodaâs mouth twitched when he saw this, but he didnât refute it. Instead, he looked at Zhang Qingqing and said, âLetâs go home and discuss this. Donât disturb Doctor Gu here.â
âWill eldest grandfather really help me out?â Zhang Qingqing asked nervously.
âOf course. If he dares to mess around, Iâll break his legs.â After Zhang Laoda finished, he glanced at Zhang Laosan and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Qingqing immediately followed him and helped Zhang Laoda out of the house.
When Zhang Laosan and his daughter saw this, they looked at each other and followed.
At that moment, the village chief stood up. âAlright, youâre all dismissed. Go and busy yourselves with your stuff..â
