Chapter 23 Buying Rice at a High Price

"Hehe, are you embarrassed to be aggrieved? Look for yourself, our Cuiying's arm is the one that made you bruise and purple! Xu Jingling showed him Cuiying's scarred arm, and said angrily.

Yang Shuigen sighed and said disapplausively: "So what? Lao Tzu gave so much silver, how I treat her is what I should do, not to mention, this girl is always disobedient, I don't teach her a lesson, how can I establish Lao Tzu's prestige? ā€

"Disgusting!" Xu Jingling was so angry that his apricot eyes widened, and his willow eyebrows were upside down.

Xu Jingluo frowned, thought to himself for a while, then glared at Yang Shuigen, and said lightly: "Yang Shuigen, since you claim that Cuiying is the daughter-in-law you bought with money, do you have any evidence?" ā€

"Nonsense! Absolutely! ā€

When Yang Shuigen's words fell, he reached into his arms, erased an envelope, opened the envelope, raised his chin high, shook it in front of Xu Jingluo, and said: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this contains the documents I signed when I bought Cuiying, the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to play tricks?" ā€

After speaking, he looked at Cui Ying with an obscene expression.

Seeing this, Cui Ying was frightened, and hurriedly hid behind Xu Jingluo, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and pleaded: "Girl, think of ways to save me!" ā€

Yang Shuigen sneered, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Save you? Hum! Stinky girl, have you forgotten that it was your girl who sold you to Lao Tzu in the first place! Don't resist, just go back with me! ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to stretch out his claws to capture Cui Ying, but Xu Jing'an firmly blocked him.

Suddenly, Xu Jingluo snatched the document that Yang Shuigen was holding, and simply tore it into pieces neatly, scattering it on the ground like a snowflake.

Yang Shuigen was stunned for a moment, and then stomped his feet angrily and said, "You! You dare to destroy the evidence, I'm not done with you..."

As he spoke, he was about to pounce on Xu Jingluo.

Xu Jingluo unhurriedly took out a silver ingot full ten taels, threw it under his feet, and said coldly: "Yang Shuigen, you spent five taels to buy Cuiying, and now, I will give you ten taels to buy Cuiying back." From now on, you and Cuiying owe each other, have nothing to do with each other, and she is no longer your daughter-in-law, if you still come to mess around, I will never be polite to you! ā€

After the words fell, she and Xu Jingling quickly left the place with Cuiying.

Yang Shuigen was stunned, and it took a while to come to his senses, hurriedly picked up the silver ingot on the ground, and looked up again, seeing that Cuiying was about to leave, he couldn't help but be angry and anxious.

Although he got ten taels of silver, he still felt unwilling, so he planned to rush over to find Cui Ying back, but he was stopped by Xu Jing'an.

"What's the matter? You're not happy yet? If you have the ability, you sue us in front of the county lord and see if he is willing to deal with you! ā€

Xu Jingan is not very old, but he is tall and has long arms, is exceptionally strong, and his muscles are also very developed.

From the strength of his push just now, it can be seen that Xu Jing'an is as powerful as a cow, Yang Shuigen of course knows that he is not Xu Jing'an's opponent at all, except for staring dryly and scolding a few words secretly in his heart, but he doesn't have the courage to fight him.

Complain? Hehe, even if he has this thought, the county master has to be in the yamen! Now that everyone is running for their lives, is he still suing that doorman?

"Miss Xu, did someone trouble you just now? If that's the case, just tell us and we'll be there for you! ā€

At this time, one of the two men with a tiger's back copied a shovel, looked at Xu Jingluo and Cuiying, who had palpitations, and asked loudly.

Cui Ying was very moved when she heard this, and looked at the two men, her nose couldn't help but be a little sour.

Xu Jingluo smiled and said to them: "The trouble has been solved, and the two of you are concerned." ā€

After the words fell, he turned around and glared at Yang Shuigen again, and said with a smile: "This time, let's spare his life for the time being, if I bump into him in the future to find Cuiying's stubble, I don't have to be polite to him, and I will directly smash it with a shovel!" ā€

"Okay, his name is Yang Shuigen, right? We'll keep an eye out! ā€

After the words fell, the two men knocked the soil on the ground with the shovels in their hands, and glared at Yang Shuigen viciously.

When Yang Shuigen saw this, he was even more frightened and didn't even dare to let a fart go! There was no way, two fists were invincible to four hands, so he had to nest full of anger and run away with his tail between his legs.

After lunch, the people of Zhuangzi did not linger here, and quickly got out of the car and set off again for the next place.

The branches and leaves of the May locust tree are in full bloom, and through the gaps in the dense leaves, it seems to burst out of the furnace like a golden light, and it feels a little hot even in the refreshing shade of the tree. The sound of cicadas one after another made people even more upset.

After walking a distance, everyone was already sweating hot, so Feng Yongsheng ordered everyone to stop and rest under the shade of the tree.

Xu Jingluo and the others were leaning on the window of the carriage to blow the wind, when they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a weak voice came: "Please, can you sell some grain to our family?" I—I'm willing to pay double the price! ā€

When Xu Jingluo heard it, he took care of Runtian and Yi Bao, who were sleeping peacefully on her lap, and then got out of the car lightly.

It was the plainly dressed middle-aged woman in front of her who asked out loud, and behind her stood two male babies who were about the same age as Runtian and Yi Bao, as well as two old men who were rickety, and looked at her parents-in-law.

The old man on the left kept his head down, rubbing the corners of his eyes, and the old woman on the right looked very embarrassed. The appearance of the family seems to be really worthy of sympathy.

As soon as Xu Jingluo jumped out of the carriage, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded in a sincere tone: "Girl, show mercy and sell us some rice, we are willing to pay as much silver as you want!" ā€

When Xu Jingluo heard this, he looked at her fixedly, and asked with some doubts: "This aunt, what happened to your family?" Why do you come here to buy rice at a high price? Have you not prepared enough for yourselves? ā€

At this time, the woman's tears flowed down at this time, and she choked up and said: "Don't tell the girl, the heavy rain last night washed away everything in our family, and our family has been hungry for most of the day!" ā€

After a pause, as if she was worried that Xu Jingluo would misunderstand, she then continued: "Girl, if there is enough rice left in your car to eat, sell some to our family, if it is not enough, then it will be fine, and I will not force it." ā€

"This aunt, I'm really sorry, our family is not much better than yours, and the rest of the rice can last tonight at most. I'm sorry, you can go to someone else's place and ask again! ā€

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jingluo gritted his teeth, turned around and returned to the carriage.
