After sitting in the Duan Clan for less than an hour, he still had not seen the Liu San come back. Under Old Man Duan's sigh towards his Lady Wang, Duan Xiaohe started to panic a little. She, who could not sit still, walked back and forth in front of the gate several times. She was worried about going to Old Lady Li's house to take a look.
"Sis, come back and wait. If you go up by yourself and meet that Fang guy, what will you do?" Duan Xiaoyue stopped her.
"I'm worried."
Duan Xiaoyue gave her brother a meaningful glance. The two of them pulled her to her left and right, then dragged her back home to sit. When it was almost dusk, when they were about to eat, the Liu San returned.
"Where did you go?"
Liu San sneered and winked at her. "Just wait and see."
Duan Xiaohe moved his arm a bit, "What are you pretending to be mysterious for!"
"Lady Wang just happened to be coming back from outside with some fresh vegetables in his hand, as if he had just pulled them out from the ground." Speak properly and do whatever you want. Someone helped you and yet you hit him? I've never seen someone like you. "
Duan Xiaohe muttered to herself, "It's because he looks like the biological son of the Duan Clan that I seem to have picked up."
"You picked it up." Just as Lady Wang finished speaking, he was pushed around by the Duan Clan's father, and the food in his hands almost fell off. After standing steadily, Lady Wang glared at him, "Isn't that the daughter that this stepmother picked up?
"Father Duan sat down at the side and waved his hands impatiently, telling Lady Wang to quickly leave." "You also know that your mother's mouth is just like that sometimes."
"Let's stay here tonight and see how Master Fang will react tomorrow." Liu San pushed the money pouch to Duan Xiaohe, "There's only this much money left in my family, you keep it first."
After squeezing the purse, there were only a few copper coins left. Duan Xiaohe was a little dumbfounded, the 10 taels of silver that she had painstakingly saved up were all spent just like that?
"You, where did you go?"
Liu San knew her heart ached for the money, he only said that he had used all of the money he had, so he would be able to return it tomorrow.
The two of them had stayed at the Duan Clan that day. Previously, they could squeeze together, but this time, the Duan Clan's father had returned. The only two rooms in the house were a little unoccupied. The Liu San pointed at the ox-cart and said that he could sleep there. The old man of the Duan Clan shook his head and said that it was not reasonable for him to let Young Master sleep there. However, the Liu San did not care. He took some hay and covered the oxcart with it before lying down.
The night was a little cold, so Duan Xiaohe asked Lady Wang for a sheet and covered Liu San with it. "Lady Wang brought out a new one, but Duan Xiaohe asked for an old one. She said that the oxcart wasn't clean and Liu San would sleep for a night to avoid dirtying the new one and making it smell.
Liu San lied in the oxcart, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.
"Wife, come here." He patted the seat beside him and told her to lie down.
Duan Xiaohe happily laid down, and stuck close to him. I have wronged you. "
"Liu San held her in his arms, her ear pressing against his chest. She liked to listen to his words this way. He had been like this since he was young. How could he feel wronged? As long as my wife is well, no matter how tired she is, she won't feel wronged. Wife, look. "
Following the direction in which he pointed, Duan Xiaohe saw that the night sky was dotted with bright specks of light.
"I'll catch you two."
"No, no." Duan Xiaohe held onto him tightly, shaking his head as if he did not want the money. Liu San only smiled mischievously. He knew that his wife was not afraid of snakes, only moths and bugs.
"Don't all of you little girls like these things? What are you afraid of?" Duan Xiaohe's hair stood on end the moment she touched these two things. He was unwilling to see his wife in such a state, so he usually did not allow her to help him with her work.
Duan Xiaohe said confidently, "What little miss? You're not talking about that little girl Song Fangxue right? The firefly was a life after all. If you captured it, it wouldn't be able to live. How nice it would be to let it fly. Right, where did you go today? You spent all that money? "
Liu San scoffed again and fished out a few pieces of paper to give to her. She opened them and saw that they were all proof of title, some were high and some were low.
"This, why did you do so much? "If that Fang guy comes to plot against you again, wouldn't the silver have gone down the drain?"
"Just waiting for him to come and set me up." Liu San had a relaxed expression, "Think about it, no matter how strong that Fang guy is, he can't prove that there are so many land deeds in one night that could cover more than silver. If I were to go back to the government, I would need at least two or three days to get this thing. The Fang family's member could take it out the next day.
Duan Xiaohe realised and smiled until her eyebrows curved. "You mean, he dares to forge the seal of the government?"
"Just wait and see. The results will be revealed tomorrow."
Accompanying Liu San in looking at the stars and moon in the middle of the night and also being on guard against his disorderly movements, Duan Xiaohe only returned to the room to squeeze into sleep with his brother and sister during the latter half of the night.
Looking at the two children who were sleeping soundly, and thinking of how Liu San told her with a face full of jealousy to stay away from Duan Xiaoshen when she slept, Duan Xiaohe smiled and crawled over to Duan Xiaoyue's side to sleep next to the wall.
The next day, after breakfast, nothing happened. Liu San comforted his by saying that it was still too early and he would wait. As expected, at noon, someone came over and said that the land they agreed on yesterday would not be sold.
Liu San took out the land deed certificate and showed it to him. He only bitterly took out the money he gave yesterday and compensated Liu San with it, saying that this land deed was not approved without the seal of the government. Duan Xiaohe followed the Liu San and asked them all the same.
Some of them could still get their money back, while some even said that the Duan Clan's cousin had already given the money away. In any case, they came and went in such a way.
"That Fang fellow is too arrogant."
The Liu San waved the land deeds in his hands to prove it, "It's not appropriate for us to look for Zhi County, leave this matter to Father-in-law."
It was unknown if it was because sshe had opened up the mysterious meridian or not, but Duan Xiaohe felt more and more that the Liu San, this foolish child, had been enlightened. When it came to matters like money, Father Duan felt that there was nothing to say. Just for the sake of five taels of silver, he was able to destroy Old Lady Li's family. At present, it was only a dozen taels of silver! With this matter being handed over to him, Duan Xiaohe could not be more at ease.
After telling this matter to Old Man Duan, Duan Clan's father slammed the table loudly.
"This Fang fellow is incredible, he dares to do such a thing." "Just you wait, father will seek justice for you!"
Duan Xiaohe once again pulled him back. She told him that the two of them had already returned from the Qinghe County Yamen, so don't talk about their matters this time, the mountain forest and the houses that were snatched away by the old master Fang were all in his name, and he had to remember this matter by no means!
"Shall we stay and see?"
Liu San thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, you go back first, I will look after this place. If that Fang guy dares to come and cause trouble, I will beat him up."
Duan Xiaohe wanted to laugh, she just praised him for being able to use her brain, and now she has become so violent. I'll go back the next day. "
When Old Man Duan returned from the County Government Office, Duan Xiaohe asked about the situation before feeling relieved. The seals of the officials were indeed a fake. Just this matter alone was enough for Master Fang to be sent to jail.
Mingan Zhixun County was probably a new position, after the old master of the Fang family was decided, he even ordered the officials to return the land and money taken away by Master Fang. Liu San lined up the land deeds he still had in his hands, "Wifey, take a look. If you still want more land, keep it for us.
Duan Xiaohe didn't even take a fancy to anything, she only took a fancy to that mountain forest. After returning the land deeds that she did not want back to her village, Duan Xiaohe and Liu San was about to return. However, they were stopped halfway through their journey.
It was the young man who called himself his cousin who stopped them. His cousin was a cousin, but not of the Duan Clan, but of the Fang Clan's Master.
"You set my uncle up in prison, and even made the government come to collect his money. What a good method." Today, you will either be killed by me or I will kill you all! "
With that, he made a gesture, and the few people behind him immediately surrounded him.
Duan Xiaohe stuck close to the Liu San, and asked somewhat nervously: "Can you beat the six of them? Why don't we run? "
Liu San tightened the rope in his hand, "There's no way to run now, I'll lure them away, when I see the opportunity, I'll run, and use all my strength to run and not look back."
Duan Xiaohe was even more afraid now. Although the two villages were not far from each other, but the road ahead was deserted and desolate.
"Don't you just want money? How much do you want?"
The cousin spat, "I don't want money right now. I want my life!"
With that, he made a gesture, and the six people rushed forward and attacked Duan Xiaohe. Liu San was anxious, he was ready to fight with them, but who would have thought that they would actually aim their fists at his wife, and instantly throw him into disarray.
Duan Xiaohe held her head tightly, not feeling any pain like she had expected. Opening her eyes, she saw Liu San protecting him in her embrace, as she had suffered a few punches. Seeing that he was fine, he got off the ox-cart and started to fight with him barehanded.
The Liu San was meticulous with his moves, but he was not a martial arts expert in martial arts novels. His fists could not match his four hands, and even if he had some fists and kicks, he could not defeat his opponent. Duan Xiaohe who stood foolishly at the side, was constantly at a loss as to whether to run or not. The ones who were courting death had already been targeted by the other two.
"Stupid, run!"
Liu San shouted, and Duan Xiaohe ran away as if she had just awoken from a dream. However, she didn't like exercising her waist, and there was still a problem, so she was caught up to in two or three steps. Seeing that she was about to suffer a loss, Liu San was at a loss again. At this critical moment, a few cold swishing sounds rang out and those people fell to the ground, dead.
