Xia Qiyue knew why Mr. Lao An came here, but he had to go out.
As soon as Mr. An saw Xia Qiyue coming out, he took a few steps forward with an embarrassed look on his face. He felt bad again, stopped and cleared his throat, "How is the child? Is he scared?"
"
Xia Qiyue nodded, "I was really scared. I was beaten by those people and I'm keeping him in the room!"
She knew that the old man didn't come here just to look after the children, but out of courtesy, he still asked.
"Why did dad come here suddenly? To see the child?" She asked knowingly, which made it difficult for the old man to answer. He said yes, and he had something to ask for later. If he said no, it would be even worse.
After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly stretched out her hand and put the twenty taels of silver forward. "What a sin! You are so stupid that you actually had such evil thoughts. Dad apologizes to you on her behalf! Here is the money from selling the child. Dad will give it to you."
Sent over!"
Xia Qiyue nodded, "Okay, I accept the apology and the money. I also hope that they can live a good life after leaving here and stop being greedy and harming others!"
He directly intercepted what the old man was going to say next, leaving Old An with his mouth open and suddenly not knowing where to start.
She just sat there, drinking tea and not talking. From time to time, she pushed pastries in front of Mr. Lao An for him to try.
If he didn't mention leaving, she wouldn't tell him to leave, but if he didn't speak, she wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
It is impossible to watch the child. The child is frightened and resting. So, what else can you do? Just sit down.
After a long time, it was really a long time. It was so long that Mr. Lao An was too embarrassed to sit down anymore. It was so long that if he didn't go back, he would be unable to wait any longer. Then he cleared his throat again and spoke slowly.
"Dad from the fourth family has a request..."
"Father, tell me!" Xia Qiyue answered quickly, with a cheerful expression on his face.
This gave Chief Lao An a little more confidence and he spoke more happily, "Can you, can you tell your aunt, brother, sister-in-law and nephews not to leave the village? They will have no way to survive if they leave here!"
Haha...as expected!
Xia Qiyue sneered in her heart, and at the same time there was a look of embarrassment on her face, and she said obediently
"Dad, this is not something I can decide. To be honest, Ah Chen has been begging for you for a long time to be able to keep you. My sister-in-law has really gone too far. This is a punishment from above! Dad, do you know?
This is still light. If Ah Chen hadn’t begged, he would have been exiled thousands of miles away! This is just leaving the village and the boundaries of the capital! But I am a woman, how can I know where to go and who to beg? Ah Chen
We’ve already left, the battle ahead is really tight!”
His words really blocked his escape route and made Boss Lao An realize that things were already like this and it was useless to beg anyone.
Suddenly I regretted taking the twenty taels of silver back to the fourth family. If they had these twenty taels of silver, wouldn't they be able to live a better life on the road?
My eyes couldn't help but look over and fell on the silver on the table.
What kind of person is Xia Qiyue? How could she not understand what he meant? Seeing Boss Lao An acting like this, he immediately changed his attitude, picked up the silver on the table, and then spoke.
"Those traffickers are so abominable. They actually tied up Ke'er, beat her, and used sweat pills. The little child has suffered so much. Can twenty taels of silver make up for it? But thank you, dad, can you still think of it?
Please be kind to us and steal this money from my sister-in-law. I can still make some money to help Kerr live!"
It’s better now, hahaha…
"It's okay..." Boss Lao An's voice sounded a little unnatural. After saying that, he stood up and left.
"Dad, let's go slowly!" Xia Qiyue said briskly from behind.
After Lao An left, she went out humming a song and asked someone to buy a sheep.
Well, today is a good day, if we can arrange to roast the whole lamb.
Lao An's family was in an uproar. As soon as Mr. Lao An said that there was nothing Xia Qiyue could do, the women began to cry and beat Liu Mei while crying.
Mrs. An, however, changed from her usual bad temper and spoke softly and sentimentally.
"Old man, once I leave, we may never see each other again until death! You have to take care of yourself! I have never left you for most of my life. I take care of you every day, eating, drinking, and having sex. This Leng Ding is no longer by your side.
I really don’t worry about you!”
Mr. Lao An frowned and said nothing. Mrs. Lao An panicked. She had lived with the old man all her life and knew him very well. As long as she was submissive and said nice things, the old man would compromise. But now, she doesn’t know.
What's wrong is that he just doesn't speak.
"Old man, why do you think our lives are so miserable? We are old and yet we have to be separated. How can I live without you? Wuwuwu..."
Boss Lao An still had a stinky face and said nothing. He heard from Xia Qiyue that the fourth child had to fight tooth and nail to keep him here and beg for mercy... Well, no one knew where to go to beg for mercy.
If this quarrel continues, it will be even worse if he is exiled thousands of miles away.
When Mrs. An saw that he had been silent and determined to leave her alone, she became very angry.
"You old man, are you so cruel? You don't care when you see your son and grandson being kicked out of the family tree and driven out to wander. You don't care about your wife who has spent most of your life with you and raised your children! What's going on with your heart?
So cruel? Could it be that it is made of iron?"
"okay!"
Leader Lao An couldn't listen anymore and shouted to stop her and everyone else from crying.
"Go back and get ready. We'll leave early tomorrow morning! I'll see you off! Come back when you've settled in!"
He had made up his mind that he could not leave here. He still had two promising sons here. If he left, he would really lose these two sons, but it would be easy for him to run on both ends.
Just leave the capital, right? Then they can go further, since no one is forcing them to leave anyway.
"While the punishment is light and no one pressures you to be exiled, you can leave happily. We are just ordinary people. We can't fight against the officials and the fourth family. You should stay away from Jiuli Town and do your duties safely.
Live a life of your own! I will take advantage of you! However, if this happens again, I won’t care if you behead them!"
Mrs. An was overjoyed, as long as the old man still took care of them, it would be easy to handle.
"It's hard, isn't it? Bitch, if you do something wrong to me again, no one else needs to say anything, I'll kill you first! Everyone in the family has been implicated, but you still have the nerve to hang around here? Why don't you get out and get ready?"
Naturally, Liu Mei didn't dare to say anything and limped out.
In the past few days, her body was covered with injuries, and she no longer dared to cry after being beaten, for fear that the beating would be even worse if she cried.
"You too, hurry up and get ready! You can take them all away! Is it easy to start a new family? You can only live a good life, let's make trouble this time! Let you make trouble! Get out of here! Don't get in my eyes!"
Ge Mingyu and Yang Qiuju reluctantly returned to the room, holding their heads.
They felt that they were unlucky, and Ge Mingyu was always venting his anger. He had already thought about selling this stinky girl as soon as he got the chance! It was too unlucky to keep him alive.
