After leaving the Lucky Restaurant, Soong Xintong went to the grain store as she was familiar with the route, also known as five kilograms of white rice and ten kilograms of white flour. Since the money wasn't much, she could only buy a little less.
In the morning, Aunt Xie said that Uncle Xie would be able to help them fix their roof after work today. After all, she had to treat them to lunch, so she took a detour to the butcher's stall and bought a knife of streaky pork from the more generous boss's wife.
Two big dishes and two vegetables should be enough, right?
After he was done, he went to the medicine store and bought some octagonal materials as well as some fennel. As some of the seasonings weren't here, he could only make a simple version of them.
After buying everything she needed to buy, Soong Xintong rushed home with her basket on her back. When she was just about to reach the village entrance, she was suddenly stopped by a rough high-pitched voice, "Sister Soong Family, you just came back from the market?"
Soong Xintong turned around doubtfully. She saw a 50-year-old old man holding a fat pig in his hand standing in the shade of a tree. He was smoking a pipe and smiling at her, exposing his black teeth. She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Why is Butcher Ma here?
Butcher Ma looked at her menacingly, "Last time on the street, I wanted to give you a cut of my meat, but you didn't even turn around. What are you afraid of? What are you doing here?"
Soong Xintong's face stiffened. She felt disgusted when she looked at this bare-chested old man, especially when she thought about how this man who exuded a murderous aura had killed several women. She felt her legs go soft.
Soong Xintong turned around and was about to leave.
"Big sis Soong Family, don't be shy, in a few days you will pass. Let's get familiar with each other first." Butcher Ma laughed obscenely. This Soong Family girl looked dark and thin, but her buttocks had meat. She should be able to give birth to an old son for him.
"…" Soong Xintong stopped and looked at Butcher Ma with a green face. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I told you that you would be at my door in a few days …" Before Butcher Ma could finish his words, he was interrupted by Soong Xintong, "Don't spout nonsense. If you ruin my good name, I'll send you to the yamen to eat!"
Butcher Ma's face sank, and his killing intent leaked out from his entire body, "What did you say? You're my fiancée, and you still dare to sue me? "Wait another two days …" See that I don't clean you up in bed!
"Hmph." Although Soong Xintong was a coward, she knew that this was not the time for her to be a coward. "I didn't know I was engaged to you."
"Your grandma just accepted ten taels of silver from me a few days ago. Did you say anything?" Butcher Ma's face was full of anger, he looked even more frightening, "Don't even think about breaking the engagement. Anyway, I'll come pick you up in a few days. Go home and prepare yourself!"
Soong Xintong's face turned green with anger as she shouted, "I don't know what kind of betrothal gift it is and I haven't arranged a marriage with anyone. Whoever accepts your money, you take it. If you dare spout any more nonsense, I will definitely report it to the yamen."
"Pfft." Butcher Ma was an unreasonable person to begin with, "Go back to the bridal room for laozi now!" As he spoke, he pulled Soong Xintong's hand.
Cave your head!
Soong Xintong quickly dodged to the side and shouted, "Someone, help me! Treat me badly!"
This place is so close to the village entrance, someone should be able to hear it, right?
Wuu wuu, yesterday she helped Bai Yunlai chase a pervert away, why is it her turn today?
Soong Xintong stood on the riverside and pointed at Butcher Ma. "If you dare to come over again, I'll …" I jumped into the river! "
She finally understood why so many people in the TV series would say such words when they were being coerced by a pervert. It was because a weak girl like her couldn't beat him in a fight, so she could only choose this kind of house.
"Jump, I'll save you if you jump down." Butcher Ma rubbed his hands and smiled lewdly as he approached, "Grandma Zhang said that you have a strong personality, I like this kind of strong attitude."
"Grandma Zhang is the most stubborn one. Go and find her, you're the most compatible with her!" Soong Xintong's legs were so weak, she wanted to walk to the ground.
Butcher Ma's expression became even more unsightly, "Sister Soong Family, I sincerely wish to marry you, you actually do not know what's good for you."
Who wants to marry you?
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Suddenly, he saw a slender white figure walk over from behind the big rock at the village entrance. When he looked carefully, he realized it was the warm and jade-like Scholar Lu.
Soong Xintong acted as if she had seen her own mother as she quickly rushed towards Scholar Lu and hugged his arm as she cried, "Scholar Lu, save me!"
Lu Yunkai frowned as he looked at the girl holding his arm. He quietly pulled her hand away, but he couldn't move it no matter what. It was like a pair of pincers clamping on his arm, causing his bones to hurt.
This girl looked small and thin, but how could she have such strength?
If Soong Xintong knew what the Elementary Scholar in front of her was thinking, she would definitely tell him that she was weak and had been scared out of her wits. She didn't even know that she had moved from the river to his side.
"You're my fiancee, but you actually ended up messing with such a pretty boy." Butcher Ma's expression became more and more unsightly. He glared at Soong Xintong and Gu Ruoyun, as if she was the wife of an adulterer.
Soong Xintong felt that if Butcher Ma had a Pig Slaughtering Knife by his side, he would stab her to death in the next moment.
"I'm going to kill you two!" Butcher Ma's eyes were red from anger. The veins on his neck bulged, making him look terrifying.
Lu Yunkai didn't seem to be involved in these people's dispute. He frowned and said with a stern voice: "You misunderstood, she and I..."
Soong Xintong panicked and said, "I have nothing to do with this old man. He saw that I was as beautiful as a flower and was aroused by my beauty. He wanted to take me lightly. If not for you, Scholar Lu, I would have …"
She was as beautiful as a flower? Aspiring at the sight of sex? Lu Yunkai's eyebrows twitched as he looked at her face.
"Scholar Lu, I'm begging you to save me, I really don't know him." Soong Xintong's bright eyes were filled with mist, and her voice was pleading.
"You're my engaged wife." Butcher Ma gritted his teeth and said.
Lu Yunkai looked at Soong Xintong.
Soong Xintong shook her head and said pitifully, "He said it was set by him and Grandma Zhang, but I really don't know anything."
Lu Yunkai originally did not want to pierce the two of them, but for some reason, after meeting the pair of teary eyes, he turned around to look at the ferocious butcher.
He then asked Soong Xintong in a low voice, "Did you exchange any Gengjin Sticks?"
Gengci? Soong Xintong thought back. She remembered that the original owner had a small box with a few booklets inside. That should be it, right?
Seeing her like that, Lu Yunkai knew that she was still confused, so he reminded her: "You two have long since separated from Soong Family, so you should be holding your own. As long as it's still in your possession, you can go to the county court and complain."
Unless it was a person who sold his body, ordinary people would do as he said after having no right to do so.
Butcher Ma was stunned for a moment. Indeed, there was no exchange of heng Tieba. Besides, he was already so old, why would he go to the yamen to register for heng Tieba if he had a new wife? This was only a private transaction between him and Grandma Zhang.
Lu Yunkai took a good look at Butcher Ma's changing expression and said lightly, "Then there's no evidence. If you try to steal from me, Miss Soong can bring a witness to report at the yamen."
No one would dare to complain if a rich family tried to rob them. However, this was just a pig slaughterer. No matter how unreasonable he was, it was just a matter of being domineering in the village.
Soong Xintong nodded. "When the time comes, I'll ask Scholar Lu to be my witness."
When Butcher Ma heard that this person was an Elementary Scholar, and that his own son still wanted to send his grandson to Scholar Lu's school, his expression changed. He had always held a grudge.
