There were three or four people lying scattered on the ground, and there were Lai Lao and Lai, who were standing like good boys, standing beside the wall. They didn't dare to say anything.
On the ground was the cabinet that An Yunrui had overturned. There was a pit underneath, which was blocked by a small board. An Yunrui stretched out his hand and took out a box with peeling paint from it. He didn't even need a key. He pulled it with his big hand and locked it.
It fell off together with the wood pieces.
Inside were the house deeds, the family deeds, and a lot of money.
He picked through it with his big hands and selected the most beautiful thirty taels. He threw the rest at the feet of Fang Xinyue, who was still trembling.
An Yunrui looked at Fang Xinyue, his thick eyebrows were pressed down, his facial features were obviously tough and handsome, but he looked more sinister than Boss Lai and others.
He asked in a deep voice: "Where is Liu Yuxue's room?"
She pointed with shaking fingers: "The third room inside is where Yuxue lives."
An Yunrui then stepped over several people and headed towards what she said.
Fang Xinyue didn't dare to say anything. This man came in and beat up her husband and three sons without saying a word. Even Lai Lai and the other three didn't dare to beat him up.
Liu Yuxue's boudoir was easy to find. An Yunrui opened the door and the unique fragrance of her daughter's home came from inside.
The inside was very clean, and it looked like a very particular person. There were a few well-thumbed books on the table. An Yunrui got a headache when he saw the books, so he stayed away from this aspect.
She raised her eyes and looked around. There weren't many things in her room, but there was a bronze mirror and there wasn't a single piece of jewelry on the dressing table.
An Yunrui found a box and put it in her closet to help her stuff her clothes randomly. He touched a small piece of soft fabric and his bronze skin couldn't hide the redness. He looked at it and put it all in.
He went in, loaded up her books, and slipped away with the dressing table.
When he came out, everyone looked at him again. He was holding two boxes in one hand and a dressing table in the other, walking with ease.
Lai Lai and the other three waved their hands politely: "Master, go slowly!"
Seeing that the Evil God was gone, Boss Lai looked at Xu Yong who was beaten half to death, and his expression immediately turned vicious and said: "If I can't get out one hundred taels of silver today, I will sell your whole family to others as cash."
slave!"
The expressions of the Xu family were a little hard to describe. How could this change have been so great? Xu Yong endured the pain and moved to the wall, joining his three wretched sons to stay warm.
He gritted his teeth in pain: "Master Lai, I will definitely pay it back today, I will definitely pay it back..."
After he finished speaking, Hu Jun walked in leisurely from outside. He sent someone to call Boss Lai. He looked at the thin man who was lame and whose wounds had solidified.
Sighing: "I'm sorry, Brother Lai."
If the Hu family wasn't a big business, Boss Lai would really want to go out and give him a beating. Is this the work of a human being? He didn't even know the enemy's situation clearly, so he just let them mess around like a fool.
He almost got beaten for being tired, but he smiled and said, "Young Master Hu is too polite, we are still here to collect the bill."
Hu Jun turned away his head with a guilty conscience and said to Xiaodong: "Go and take back my thirty taels of silver."
Xiaodong caught a glimpse of the box with sharp eyes, and when Fang Xinyue wanted to take her away, he kicked her aside: "Get out of here, the matter was not done well, and it also made my young master look ugly. If I don't kill you, it's Amitabha's fault, okay?
Want to hide money."
He hummed softly and picked out thirty taels from it. There wasn't much silver left.
He handlessly handed the money to Hu Jun: "Master, the money is all here."
Hu Jun weighed it in his hand, evened out five taels and handed it to Lai Lai: "Just think of me as paying some medical expenses for the thin brother."
With that said, he patted Boss Lai on the shoulder, turned around and left.
An Shuyao looked at him with such cold eyes today that Hu Jun decided to go to the county to hide in the limelight for a few days, and then come back after the incident was over.
…………
When An Yunrui came back, the group of workers had begun to build the bathhouse. The bathhouse was made of stones and looked very solid.
An Hao was carrying a small stool and sitting next to the stove. At his feet was the rabbit he kept as a pet.
When he saw An Yunrui coming back, the little girl called out in a loud voice: "Fourth uncle! You are here, my little aunt is looking for you to have a meal."
Because of An Hao's voice, An Shuyao, who was in the room, walked out. When she saw what An Yunrui was holding, her eyes widened slightly: "Fourth brother, have you gone to confiscate your home?"
"I went to Xu's house to get some things and came back."
Liu Yuxue also came out after hearing the news. She looked at the familiar dressing table and boxes. An Yunrui went directly to the place where she slept, put down her things and left.
No matter what Liu Yuxue's reaction was, she went straight back to his house, opened her clothes and saw that the gauze was soaked with blood. Sure enough, she moved too much today and the wound opened again.
He couldn't let An Shuyao know, otherwise he would definitely be scolded. He sprinkled the medicinal powder An Shuyao gave him all over the injured area, wrapped it in gauze again, and sat on the bed to rest.
Outside, An Shuyao and Liu Yuxue saw him closing the door tightly, so they looked at each other and went into the house together in unison.
Liu Yuxue looked at the bronze mirror, which she bought when she first arrived at Xu's house half a year ago.
She grew up in a wealthy family. Although she was not particularly wealthy, she still had some money at home.
After her father passed the Juren exam, he did not go to Beijing to continue the exam like other people. Instead, he settled down in Xunyang County based on his fame and started a business. It gradually grew. Unfortunately, her aunt's family later swallowed up the family business.
.
Even though she was down and out, she still lived a meticulous life and was very cautious about her appearance. Applying stickers to the mirror was her favorite thing in the past.
It's just that now, she hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and she almost forgets her own appearance, because she found that women don't have to be restricted to the home, she can also roam in the mountains and fields like An Shuyao.
Thirty taels of silver were quietly placed on the dressing table. Liu Yuxue picked up a silver ingot with her hand, looking slightly stunned.
An Shuyao sighed on the side: "I was wondering why he went to Xu's house. It turns out that he went to fight for you, and he also took back all the things that belonged to you."
Her tone turned to teasing: "How come you got all your clothes back and don't know how to buy another wardrobe for you? You have to do everything right. I'll go and let him know."
Liu Yuxue hurriedly grabbed her: "No, no, that's good. I don't need to trouble your fourth brother anymore."
An Shuyao shrugged: "Okay, I'm going to the mountain."
Liu Yuxue responded: "You go ahead, I won't accompany you today."
An Shuyao walked out of the room and his eyes fell on the cold Lu Jin. He was reading a book with his eyes lowered. They had not said a word to each other since he left angrily in the morning.
An Shuyao coughed lightly and called out tentatively: "Mr. sir?"
