Chapter 90: Evil Heart
Before Xia Zhi could reach the east wing, Liu's daughter Xinghua rushed out from the other side and stopped her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu rushed over, took out the key and locked her door.
Mrs. Liu was relieved now. If she couldn't get in, let's see how the dead girl would find things.
"What are they all arguing about? What does it look like?" At this time, an old lady walked out of the main room.
Seeing Xia Zhi who was fighting with Xinghua, he looked stunned and blurted out, "Ms. Liu, what's going on? Didn't you say that this damn girl won't come back again?"
Xia Zhi looked at her breasts in disbelief. Listening to the meaning of these words, it turned out that her breasts also knew about her being sold?
It's ridiculous that she originally thought that if her second uncle and second aunt were unwilling to return the things to her, she would ask her grandma to come forward and ask for them for her.
Now it seems that she already knew about her being sold, and she didn't object yet?
Mrs. Liu greeted the old lady with a smile on her face, and held her arm flatteringly, "Mom, wouldn't it be better if she came back? If I can sell that damn girl once, I can naturally sell her twice."
With no outsiders around, Mrs. Liu didn't bother to cover up, so she had no scruples about speaking.
As for Xia Zhi and Ling Chu, Mrs. Liu didn't take them seriously at all, but she could deal with these two weaklings on her own.
Previously at the entrance of the village, she was just not able to do anything in front of outsiders.
When Xia Zhi listened to Mrs. Liu and her grandmother, her heart dropped into the ice cellar.
The old lady nodded to Mrs. Liu, "That's fine. Last time I sold eighty taels, and all of them were given to Qiao'er as a betrothal gift. Tomorrow, remember to find a place that can afford the price before selling."
"Don't worry, Mom, I can save it. The price offered by the traffickers last time was indeed lower. This girl has a good look. I heard that if she can be sold to someone who specializes in training thin horses, the price will be much higher."
The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that there were no outsiders in the house, so they were openly discussing how to sell her at a high price in front of Xia Zhi as if no one else was around.
Unexpectedly, an exclamation came from outside the courtyard gate, "So that girl Xia Zhi didn't elope, but was sold to a human trafficker by you?"
"I just said that girl Xia Zhi has always been sensible and would never do such shameless things. I didn't expect that she would be betrayed by you."
Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled when they heard the buzzing discussion. They turned their heads and realized that a group of women had gathered at the door.
Mrs. Liu's expression changed, but she quickly smiled again, "Oh, why are you all here at my house?"
A woman curled her lips in disdain, "If we didn't come, how would we know that you sold all your own nieces?"
"That's right, Ms. Liu, I didn't expect you to be so vicious-hearted that you could even kill your own niece."
"Oh, haven't you heard? It's not enough that I sold it once, but I want to sell it twice. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Liu, you are really evil-hearted."
"Xinghua's mother, if you do such an outrageous thing, aren't you afraid that her parents will come back to settle the score with you during the summer solstice at night?"
These women usually didn't deal with Mr. Liu very much, and they didn't care whether she looked ugly or not.
Although Ms. Liu was secretly annoyed with them for being nosy, she couldn't get angry easily.
Her Dongqiao family is getting married next month, and they can't let the news get out and ruin the marriage.
Mrs. Liu quickly explained with a smile on her face, "Ahem, you all misunderstood. I was trying to scare that girl Xia Zhi. You all know that her parents are gone, and she has a stubborn temper and won't listen to advice.
She and I were worried that she would leave a letter carelessly and run away from home like last time. As a last resort, he tried to scare her.
Her second uncle and I only have a niece. It's too late to love her, so how could we sell her away. "
Even though Mrs. Liu was trying her best to go back and explain, those women were not fools. How could they be fooled by her with just a few words.
When Xia Zhi was about to let the women at the door disperse, she didn't expect a shout from the crowd, "Make it, let it go, the village chief is here."
Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's hearts trembled at the same time, and they didn't understand why the village chief was alarmed.
When Mrs. Gao saw the village chief, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now she rushed outside the Liu Family Courtyard and happened to hear Mrs. Liu talking about selling Xia Zhi.
Mrs. Gao was worried that if Xia Zhi was sold again, she, an outsider, could not stop the Xia family.
Mrs. Gao did not enter the yard, but quietly found her son who happened to be nearby and asked him to run to invite the village chief.
Only the village chief can prevent Xia Zhi from being sold.
Village Chief Wang was found by Gao's son. Hearing that Xia Daqing's daughter-in-law had sold his niece to a trafficker, he dropped what he was doing and hurried over.
"Ms. Liu, I heard that you sold Xia Youxin's daughter to a trafficker?" Village Chief Wang looked ugly.
It would be fine if Madam Liu sold her niece to a wealthy family as a maid, but selling her to a trafficker would have a really bad impact.
If this matter spreads out, the reputation of their Wangjia Village will be ruined, and the marriages of the younger generation will probably be affected by this matter.
Mrs. Liu panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
"It's nothing. Isn't my family happy to be here during the summer solstice?"
Xia Zhi's grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, also said, "Xia Zhi is my granddaughter. Her second uncle and second aunt love her as their own daughter, so how could they sell her?"
After listening to Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's words, Village Chief Wang was relieved to see that Xia Zhi was indeed standing well in the yard.
Seeing that the village chief believed their words, the pair of puppets standing in front of Ling Chu couldn't help but become anxious.
"Miss, please help Xia Zhi, don't let my daughter be sold by Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again."
Ling Chu nodded to the couple, "Don't worry, Xia Zhi is my maid now, I will never let her suffer."
After comforting the two puppet souls, Ling Chu walked towards Village Chief Wang, "Village Chief Wang came at the right time, don't be fooled by Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are not good people."
Being scolded in front of the village chief and so many villagers, Liu was so angry that her face turned blue and black, "Why are we not good people? There is no evidence. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off."
"Do you think no one knows what you have done? Have you ever heard a saying, if you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself?"
Ling Chu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Village Chief Wang.
Just now, the Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law openly discussed in front of her how to sell her maid at a high price again.
If she hadn't seen the puppet souls of Xia Zhi's parents at that time, she would have taken action to deal with them.
"Girl, what is this..." Village Chief Wang was originally puzzled as to why Ling Chu suddenly handed her a piece of paper, but when he saw the three words "sell body contract" on it, his face changed.
Village Chief Wang snatched the contract and read it word by word. He was furious and yelled at Mrs. Zhang with a dark face, "Zhang Chunhua, where is your Xia Daqing? Let him get out..."
Shy: Can I vote?
