Chapter 4

It was Li Changting, the hunter who had just saved Xu Qing. On his way home, he heard that his sister-in-law Cao and his sister-in-law Cao had come to the ancestral hall and rushed to the ancestral hall.

"Changting, what are you talking about?" Li Jinmei rebukes him lightly, but she is really afraid that her younger brother will be confused and marry Xu Qing.

"Sister." Li Changting led Li Tinghui into the room and said hello to Li Jinmei, but his sharp eyes slowly swept Cao Pozi and others. "I heard that someone bullied you. Come and have a look."

Cao's mother-in-law and Cao's eldest brother are always domineering in the village. When Li Changting glances at them, they shrink their necks and shiver. They dodge and dare not look at Li Changting.

"Changting, you've come just in time. It's about you. Listen to me." The patriarch got up and called in a friendly tone. His attitude towards Li Changting was obviously different from others.

"Yes, uncle." Li Changting nodded to the patriarch.

Xu Qing slightly raised his head and looked at Li Changting. He was shocked. What did he mean by that?

Li Changting left home at the age of 13 and only returned to Changxi village half a year ago. His original owner had never seen him and didn't know much about his fiance. How could he marry her? Isn't it Mrs. Cao's evil intention to plot the property of his daughter-in-law's younger brother?

However, whether he is willing or not has nothing to do with her. Xu Qing droops his eyes and worries about it.

"Patriarch, please help Xu Qing!" Xu Qing knelt down and said sincerely.

The patriarch looked at Xu Qing and said, "get up and talk first."

Xu Qing got up, slightly staggered, raised his head, revealing half a red face and red eyes.

She was all wet, her thin body trembled slightly, her black and supple hair was close to her cheek, and her willow eyebrows were full of sorrow and resentment. Naturally, she looked like I was still in pity. Her red and swollen eyes did not affect her beauty, but made her more and more pitiable.

No one spoke at the moment, but looking at Xu Qing's appearance, many people felt a trace of intolerance.

"Patriarch, please drive me out of Changxi village!" Xu Qing pleaded with tears.

All the people were shocked by this.

"Why do you say that?" The patriarch frowned.

Xu Qing choked and said, "I know everyone says that I am an ominous person, and I don't want to stay in the village to bring misfortune to everyone. Let me leave the village and die on my own."

Patriarch: "so you went to jump in the river?"

Xu Qing nodded slightly: "my grandmother took the betrothal gift from Mrs. Cao and wanted to marry me to the Li family hunter, but I didn't want to hurt other people's good man, and I couldn't resist her wish. I had to end myself..."

Hearing that Xu Qingning was willing to commit suicide rather than harm others, many people showed a look of sympathy, and also cast a look of condemnation to grandma Xu.

The patriarch was silent, as if hesitating.

"Ah Qing, you must not leave the village!" Li Jinmei suddenly anxiously said to Xu Qing, "how can you have such an idea? What a fool! You forget that a daughter from the next village went to the town with her family. She was kidnapped by bandits in the middle of the road. A few days later, she was found lying in the mountains in rags, and her body was gnawed by wild animals There is a family to follow, not to mention you an unarmed girl's home! Now the world outside is not peaceful. How can you live when you leave the village alone? "

This made Xu Qing feel excited. She lowered her eyebrows, but she didn't expect this. She thought that she couldn't stay in this village any longer. She might as well leave and find another way out. So she took advantage of this matter.

When people saw her frightened, they began to sympathize with her.

"Yes, Xu Qing, don't be upset. There are so many animals outside now. You're a girl's family. How can you get back when you go out?"

Several enthusiastic villagers also advised.

Xu Qing wiped his tears: "but But where can I go? I won't listen to my grandmother's words. I'll marry a villain, and there's no room for me in my family. It's better to die! "

"What the hell are you talking about?" Mrs. Xu couldn't hold her face, so she drank and scolded her.

Xu Qing trembled with fright.
