"Grandma, I'm back!"
It wasn't until after waiting for Situ Jin and his underlings to leave did Jiu Niang sneak out of the space. She didn't dare to stay for even a second longer and quickly rushed back home. Just thinking of the dark expression on Situ Jin's face, he felt a chill down his spine. Until now, she still carried his sullen roar: "Damn girl, I want to see how long you can run!
"Hiss, this is too scary!" Nona sucked in a breath of cold air and rubbed her hands together, feeling goosebumps all over the place.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he must be careful in the future and take a detour when meeting that guy.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
After waiting for a long time for no reply from his grandma, Jiu Niang could only push open the door and enter. Although the Old Widow's house was slightly better than Jiu Niang's, it really wasn't much. He was still safe in the village, and there wasn't anything of value in his house …
"Eh? How strange, why aren't you home? Where did Grandmother go? "
It was noon, so where could Grandma go if she wasn't home? Nona searched all over the place but could not find the Old Widow. She could not help but be confused. The Old Widow and Jiu Niang were the same. In the entire village, they did not like each other and did not interact much with outsiders. There was nowhere else to go every day but to work in the fields.
But since it was already noon, it was impossible for her to be in the field. So where did she go?
"Hu San, I owe you money. If you want it, look for that girl!" That little girl is currently in this old thing's house. If you can't find that little girl, then you should look for this old thing! "
Just as Jiu Niang was about to leave the house to find her grandma, she suddenly heard someone making a ruckus outside. Moreover, the voice sounded familiar. Jiu Niang quickly ran out. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a large group of people heading towards his house.
Who else but Hu San and Ma Xiaoru walked in front?
Old Ma was dragging a ragged old man with him … When he focused his eyes, he immediately... The flames in Nona's heart started to rise.
He picked up a wooden stick that was as thick as a bowl's mouth and rushed towards Old Ma and the others, "Old Ma, you bastard, it's fine if you stole everything from my Gu family, but you still dare to hurt my grandmother. I'll fight you to the death."
Her eyes were bloodshot as they landed on the old widow's blood-stained face. Nona felt the urge to kill someone.
She knew that Hu San would come knocking on her door one day when she gave the Gu family over to Old Ma. But she didn't expect that this damned Old Ma would actually dare to harm her grandma. His grandmother was already so old, yet her face was covered in blood. It was unknown whether she had died or not … And all of this was because of him … [My grandmother was kind enough to take me in, but …]
Initially, he had even thought of taking good care of her to repay her for extending a warm hand to him.
However … However …
"Nona, go, go …" "Let's go …"
In a daze, the Old Widow heard Jiu Niang's voice and struggled to open her eyes. She forcefully waved her hands and used all of her strength to scream.
With so many people, there was nothing that could be done for a child like Nona.
"Haha …" There was no place to find the broken iron shoes. Originally... Hehe, little girl, shouldn't you return the money? "
Hu San sneered as he looked at Jiu Niang. He knew this girl didn't care about her life, but … Twenty taels of silver was not a small sum. It was fortunate that he came today. Otherwise, if he really let her escape, how could he find money?
"Scram!" "Otherwise …"
Lifting the wooden stick with both hands, Jiu Niang glared at Hu San, her bloodshot eyes filled with killing intent.
Suddenly …
Hu San was startled. Looking at the wooden stick on his forehead, he awkwardly smiled. "Girl, it's perfectly justified for you to repay the debt. Don't tell me …"
"Scram!" Jiu Niang's sinister gaze swept over Hu San before landing on Old Ma. "Old Ma, you better let go of my grandmother, or else …"
"Or what? Hmph, a silly little girl dares to threaten me! "
Old Ma didn't expect her to look so thin and small, but she still had an expression that said she didn't care for her life. There was still a bit of panic on her face, but … Still, Qiang Zi was determined. He put on a fearless face and straightened his back. "I don't believe you dare …"
"Pa Pa Pa Pa!"
Without another word, the wooden stick quickly descended, landing mercilessly on Old Ma's body.
Even a rough guy like Old Ma could only grimace in pain at a big wooden stick, "You …" You... Little bastard, you actually dared to hit me! You... "You …"
Old Ma held onto the Old Widow with one hand and blocked with the other, afraid that the wooden stick would land on his head. The other people around saw that Jiu Niang was about to lose her life, so they quickly moved away, afraid that they would be implicated … Such a large wooden stick is quite frightening …
"You bastard, your entire family is a bastard. Back then, you came to rob the Gu family, and we made it very clear that you agreed. Since the entire Gu family is yours, then the debt will naturally be yours as well. Now, not only did you bring Hu San here, you even dare to harm my grandmother. Anyway... In any case, we won't be able to live any longer. Even if we die, I'll drag you down with me! " Although Nona looked angry and disorderly, in truth, every swing of the stick was done with care. Those positions were only painful for Old Ma, but in reality, he was not hurt at all.
To put it bluntly, she only wanted to scare Old Ma a little, and not actually take his life. She was very clear on the principle of killing to repay someone for their life. However, there was a saying that even wrongdoers and creditors had a debt. If they directly came to her, she would not have a single word of gossip, and would do whatever she wanted. But they shouldn't have involved Grandma and hurt her. She wouldn't let them go just because she hurt them.
"Eh? Is this true? Little girl, explain this clearly! "
Hearing Jiu Niang's words, the eyes of Hu San, who was standing angrily to the side, considering whether or not he should help Old Ma, lit up. He could not hide his pleasant surprise as he looked at Jiu Niang.
Heh heh …
Twenty taels of silver was probably nothing for this little girl. At most, he would only have to look for misfortune every few days.
Furthermore, she was not afraid of death. No matter how hard he met a person who did not care for his own life, he could not do anything to her. Even if he sold her, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her now that she was in such a sorry state. He couldn't do anything to her even if he sold her.
But... However, if it was Old Ma San … Hu San rubbed his hands together and stared at Old Ma with sparkling eyes, as if he was looking at a pile of shining silver.
"You … Don't talk so much nonsense, you just... There is no such thing! "
Old Ma was now in a hurry, his eyes were red and his legs were jumping. He could no longer be bothered with the old widow as he pushed her away and walked over fiercely, "Damn girl, I'll let you speak nonsense. Let me see how I'll kill you today!"
With a dark face, Old Ma was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Others might not know who this Hu San was, but he knew very well. This was an evil person who ate people without spitting out their bones, but now … 'This damnable girl actually dared to set her sights on me … ' He viciously glared at Jiu Niang. Old Ma was in pain and angry. He wanted to go up and beat Jiu Niang up, but he couldn't get close.
He could only glare at her unwillingly: "Little bastard, stop talking nonsense! When have I ever said that I would shoulder the Gu family's debt! "
All he had received was that Gu family's crumbling house. He couldn't even live in it anymore, and it was time for him to make a pigsty. As for that land, not to mention the fact that it was rented, just based on the weather this year, it was likely that the geography would not exist.
No one could tell what was going on with their eyes. The total amount of money they got was not more than one tael of silver. It was likely that no one was willing to take it.
This damnable girl actually thought that she could exchange for Hu San's silver taels. That would be twenty taels.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
"Hmph, back then, Du Rong had clearly stopped. You stole the entire Gu family from my hands. Could it be that you only want the Gu Clan's property, and you don't want to bear the debts? How could there be such a great thing in this world? "
The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. Without leaving a trace behind, Jiu Niang moved closer to the old widow. After that, she carefully supported her up. After confirming that there were no major problems, Jiu Niang's worried heart finally relaxed a little.
"Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad. We heard it clearly at that time."
"That's right, that's right. Back then, Jiu Niang was talking about the entire Gu family."
"I can also testify. Nona was indeed talking about the Gu family."
Because Old Ma had stolen his family's house, everyone's plans had been foiled. Although they didn't dare to speak to him in anger, they still kept their anger to themselves. However, Old Ma San could be considered to have some reputation in the village. Normally, no one dared to offend him, but now that he had such a good opportunity, of course they wanted to give him a good beating. To make him act so unscrupulously at the time was something that they had obviously taken a fancy to early on. Furthermore, their family already had a house, so they even had to fight with everyone for it.
"You … You... You bastards! "
Old Ma had never thought that these guys, who usually didn't even dare to fart, would stab him in the back at a crucial moment and sell him out in one go. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But... But...
This wasn't the time to cause trouble with these guys, right now …
"Master Hu, listen to me, this is not the case." I didn't even agree. Besides, I just got that lass's shitty house. As you can see, the house is too shabby to live in. Let alone twenty liang, I'm afraid even one tael of silver is not worth it. "
Old Ma also understood that the right to decide now was probably no longer with that girl. He immediately licked his face and smiled, begging Hu San.
"Tsk tsk, I don't know about that. But... Since everyone has heard it, and so many people have testified, is it really okay for you to bully a little girl like this, Old Ma? "
Hu San had already made up his mind. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame Old Ma for being too greedy.
No matter what, he had to take the twenty taels from her. Otherwise …
Hehe, these days, it's better to lose out on others than to lose out on yourself.
However, he still felt admiration for this girl. It seemed that he had really underestimated her. Fortunately, he didn't push too hard at that time. Otherwise, he would have … "Tsk, tsk." Thinking about how he had to owe Old Ma 20 taels of silver for a rotten house, Hu San couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat …
