Chapter 17
The sun was scorching in the sky, and the weather was so hot that people were sweating all over.
Qiulian Niang carried a basket of vegetables in her arms, wiping the sweat on her head with her sleeves as she rushed towards the end of the village.
There were two hot pancakes in her arms, which she had just baked and were about to give them to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Today she embroidered a few purses and took them to the embroidery shop in the town to sell them. On the way back, she happened to meet Jiang Wei who went to the county town to sell wild wolves. He said that Xiaoxiao was at home alone and asked her to help take care of them.
Qiulian Niang naturally agreed and hurried home. Thinking that the girl might not have eaten at home alone, she simply baked two pancakes and took them with her.
However, only halfway there, she suddenly saw two figures coming down from the foot of the mountain in the distance. They seemed to be carrying a sack and sneaking into another path with fewer people.
It was far away and she couldn't see clearly, but one of the two figures on the back looked a bit like the old lady from the Li family...
A bad feeling came to my mind.
Qiu Lianniang hurriedly chased after her. When she arrived at the house where the mother and daughter lived, she saw the kicked down courtyard door and the stools scattered on the floor. The bad premonition in her heart became even stronger!
not good!
As if she realized something, Qiu Lianniang dropped the vegetable basket in her hand and hurried towards the village.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the end of the village, he saw Jiang Wei coming back with large and small bags.
"It's not good! It's not good! Xiaoxiao is missing!!"
Qiu Lianniang ran out of breath. She held her waist and shouted breathlessly: "Go to the Li family quickly and take a look. I saw the old lady from the Li family carrying a sack. It seems that she took Xiaoxiao away!"
"what!"
Jiang Wei's expression changed drastically, he dropped the large and small bags in his hand and hurried towards the Li family.
"Hey, why are you running so fast!"
Qiu Lianniang looked at the figure that ran away in the blink of an eye, and the wind brought up almost blew the corners of her clothes. Then she looked at the bundles on the ground, shook her head helplessly, picked up the bundles and rushed to the main house.
……
"You, how did you kidnap this person back?!"
The old man of the Li family looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was almost unconscious in the sack, and said in disbelief: "Didn't I ask you to discuss with Mrs. Jiang before bringing the person back!"
"Dad, what are we talking about? If we tell them, they won't let us take the baby away!" Mrs. Sun curled her lips.
"How could you do such a thing!" The old man stamped his foot twice, "Send the person back quickly! Let's talk to Mrs. Jiang tonight. The Huang family is a wealthy family, and she will agree to marry Erya! "
"Dad..." Upon hearing that the old man was going to send the person back, Mrs. Sun became anxious and quickly winked at the mother-in-law beside her.
When the old woman from the Li family saw this, she immediately stood up and said, "Why are you sending her back! This damn girl is so bold! Look, she bit my hand like this!"
With that said, as if he was still angry, he kicked Jiang Xiaoxiao in the sack.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was in a coma, whimpered weakly in pain.
The old man of the Li family originally wanted to stop her, but when he saw the horrific wound, he let the old woman vent her anger and kicked her a few times.
"Anyway..." The old man was silent for a long time, and then said: "It's unjustifiable for you to do this. Our family is unreasonable. If Mrs. Jiang publicizes this matter and makes it known to everyone, where will our old Li family's face be? Leave it alone..."
When Sun heard this, she couldn't help but smile sarcastically in her heart.
Sure enough, the old man didn't feel sorry for this damn girl, but he was afraid that the villagers would know about it and he would lose face!
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this!"
After knowing that the old man did not pity the dead girl, Mrs. Sun said with a smile on her face: "When my mother and I came back, we chose a path with few people. No one saw us along the way. No one would know that Erya was here with us. . When Mrs. Jiang comes, we will fight her to death and see what she can do to us!" The old man was still hesitating. At this time, Li Shoude, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of the old man: "Dad, I know I'm sorry for my third brother by doing this, but I have no other choice!"
"W-what did you say?" The old man was stunned.
"Dad, let me tell you the truth, the young master of the Huang family has a hidden disease, and no daughter dares to marry him!"
Li Shoude lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and said word for word: "The Huang family promised me that as long as I find a wife for their son, I will be sure to take the hospital examination this time!"
"You, do you really mean what you said!?" The old man's cloudy eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Then the Huang family is really so capable?"
"Dad, this is serious!" Mrs. Sun also knelt down, "The ancestor of the Huang family has served as an official in the imperial court, so he has a great background! As long as he finds a wife for his son, he will be able to rise to prominence in a short time after Shoude. !”
"Smooth rise to success..." The old man muttered these words, his cloudy old eyes full of surprise and disbelief. He pinched his palms hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.
When he looked down at Jiang Xiaoxiao on the ground, there was no trace of pity in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door outside.
"Open the door! Lao Li's house, give my daughter back!"
The woman's voice seemed to contain overwhelming anger, and it reached the upper room, startling several people inside.
"Hurry, hide the person in the back room!" The old man immediately calmed down and said.
Mrs. Sun and the old lady quickly picked up the sack and entered the back room.
The old man took Li Shoude out of the upper room, but before he could close the door, Jiang Wei kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in.
"Li Yongqiang, ask your wife to hand over my daughter!"
"Ms. Jiang, how can you call daddy by his first name? It's so rude!" Li Shoude scolded.
"From the Sanfang family, your daughter is not here with me." The old man stepped forward with an ugly expression on his face, "Look for her elsewhere."
After saying that, he pulled Li Shoude into the room, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense to her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei walked up directly, pushed the two of them away, and walked into the upper room.
"Hey! Sanfang's family, I told you, your daughter is not here with me! How can you just enter other people's houses!"
The old man of the Li family and Li Shoude hurried to catch up and stop him. Unexpectedly, before Jiang could backhand, he punched Li Shoude in the face, hitting his nose bone with such force that blood instantly appeared on his face.
Li Shoude said "ouch" and covered his nose. He bent over in pain and blood gurgled from his fingers.
"Son!" The old man felt so distressed that he hurriedly bent down to take a look, and even Jiang Wei didn't bother to stop him.
Jiang Wei quickly entered the upper room. There was no one inside, but there was a faint sound of suppressed whimpering coming from the direction of the back room.
"...Why is this damn girl awake at this time?"
Jiang Wei heard Sun's furious voice.
Hearing the sound, she looked stern and immediately walked towards the inner room. It might as well be that Mrs. Sun suddenly opened the curtain at this time and came out to stop her.
