Chapter 274 Price
Outside the Lin family courtyard, the lamps on the wall illuminate the square footage outside the gate.
Amidst the swaying flames, the drizzle was like silver threads falling from the sky, and the cold wind howled by, making people shiver.
Jiang Yan was the leader, with a large group of people standing behind him.
Her eyes were cold, and along the way, the rain soaked her outermost brocade clothes, and her hair was covered with water drops, which shone with a fine luster under the dancing lights.
"We were planning to go find you! I didn't expect you to come to my door yourself!"
"What's wrong with Xiaodouzi? Why doesn't the child move?"
Lin Xi and Lin Bei spoke at the same time, and everyone's eyes were directed to the small ball of red in Lao Liu's arms.
Xiaodouzi's short little hands and feet were tightly trapped by them, and he was hugged tightly by Lao Liu.
Lao Liu met Jiang Yan's cold gaze and shuddered subconsciously. He took a deep breath and said fiercely: "What are you looking at? If something happens to the child, do we dare to come over and ask you for money?"
Qiangzi stood in front of Lao Liu, just blocking Xiaodouzi's figure. He sneered and said: "We are just asking for money, and we are not murderous demons. Aunt Jiang, it was Jiang Sanzhu who kidnapped your child.
Attention that bitch."
"Yes, yes, he lost a large sum of money at the gambling house in the town. He even mortgaged the jewelry that his old lady kept at the bottom of the box. We are not that cruel. We will not take the child to the gambling house. If you think it is okay, give it to him.
We have hundreds of taels to spend, and we will return this child to you immediately!"
Lao Liu stretched his head out from behind Qiangzi, grinned and started talking about the price.
Jiang Yan's face was cold and ugly, but she still said unhurriedly: "How much do you want?"
In fact, the moment she saw the children, most of her worries disappeared. She didn't care about all the things that happened that night. As long as the two children were fine, it would be the best outcome.
Qiangzi's eyes lit up when he heard that Jiang Yan was willing to give him money. He turned around and looked at Lao Liu, and the two of them whispered a few words.
"I have made a lot of money from the improvement of farm tools in the village and the bumper harvest of pepper and rice in your family. In addition, the business in your town is not bad. We don't want more, so you can give us a thousand taels!"
"Yes, one thousand taels!"
"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand! You give the money, and we will give you the child immediately, and we can guarantee that we will never appear in Linjia Village again!"
The two of them sang together, getting more and more excited as they talked, and their greedy eyes became brighter. They agreed on the arrangements for their escape, and as soon as they got the money, they would fly away immediately.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the crowd started to get restless. Ma San and Shi Zhong even crushed the sticks in their hands. Even Jiang Sanzhu, who was still bleeding and lingering, couldn't help but groan in disgust.
The villagers who were watching scolded him mercilessly.
"Bah! It's such a shame, two scoundrels have the nerve to ask for a thousand taels!"
"That's right, you kidnapped the children first, and you still had the nerve to extort money. Why do we, Linjia Village, have such idiots like you?"
"No matter how rich Aunt Jiang is, if she has just built a house and held a grand wedding, she will still have extra money for you damn ones!"
"They are all so shameless and shameless. Today they came to eat with shameless faces. They didn't even mention bringing any courtesy. Instead, they repaid their kindness with vengeance and kidnapped all their children!"
"..."
Each of the villagers spoke a word, and without looking at their expressions, you could hear their displeasure and disdain just by listening to their voices.
Qiangzi and Lao Liu are both from Linjia Village, and they all know the basics.
On weekdays, they are a bunch of lazy people who either wander around or go to the town's casino to gamble. The poor family has nothing of value except four mud walls.
Qiangzi and Lao Liu were said to be a little embarrassed, but they couldn't afford to eat, so they impatiently said a few words to the villagers.
She urged Jiang Yan: "Aunt Jiang, let's not talk much. Just tell us whether you are willing to give us the money. If you are willing, give it to us now!"
Lao Liu hugged Xiaodouzi and spoke in a weak tone. There were only two of them, but there was a large group facing them. If they really wanted to fight head-on, the two of them were definitely no match.
He subconsciously tightened Xiaodouzi in his arms, and the excessive force squeezed the unconscious Xiaodouzi until he frowned frequently, whimpered a few times, and even breathed intermittently.
Jiang Yan's eyes have always been on Xiaodouzi. Seeing the little guy's movements, she became even more worried.
Qiao Le is also a careful person, and he has been paying attention to Xiaodouzi's condition. These two rogue men can't even hold a child. They have their hands restraining the child's neck and waist. From their perspective, they can still
Seeing that most of Xiaodouzi's waist was exposed, her white and tender belly was already blue and red from the cold.
"Hold the child better. It's such a cold day. Don't let the child's belly get cold. The child's body is fragile and cannot withstand the cold wind."
Jiang Yan frowned, her deep eyes showed no emotion, and even her voice was calm and without any bullying. She took two steps forward. Under the light of the lights, the blood-cured kitchen knife in her hand became even more intense.
Horrible.
Qiangzi and Lao Liu had seen Jiang Sanzhu's miserable state early on. Even now, Jiang Sanzhu was still wailing in pain. For a moment, both of them could not help but feel chills running down their backs, and they subconsciously took two steps back.
As the boss, Qiangzi suppressed his fear and said in a stern voice with a bit of anxiety: "Don't go forward! If you have something to say, just stand and say it. If you want to give me money, throw it over first!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan stopped and threw the kitchen knife aside. She said, "I don't have so much silver on me. Wait a minute. I'll go in and get the money."
Their eyes lit up and they nodded, urging Jiang Yan to hurry up and get the money. They grinned and looked much kinder.
The Lin family is pretty good. Although they are reluctant to part with so much money, the safety of Xiaodouzi is more important to them than money.
But the expressions of the villagers behind him changed one by one, and they were all full of disbelief. After seeing Aunt Jiang really enter the house to get money, everyone's hearts changed subtly.
"No way! Aunt Jiang, do you really want to give money to these two land scoundrels? That's a thousand taels!"
"I will never make so much money in my lifetime!"
"Yes, yes! That's a thousand taels! Some time ago, the village next door to us just sold a few pictures of girls to the town. Each one only cost five taels of silver. That's worth a thousand taels!"
Jiang Yan stopped and looked at Lin Xi, Lin Bei and the others' panicked eyes. They were afraid that Jiang Yan would take Yin Liang as more important!
