The old village chief was giving out money to those who were not selected, one tael per person. Seeing Ruan Mu's behavior, he was so angry!
"You have the nerve to say that! I want you to be honest and obedient, but your girl fell out in public when she was not chosen. She almost caused the fishing boats in our village to be taken back by the nobles. It's good that they didn't argue with her. What else do you want?
I tell you, if you are a noble person, If you really take back the fishing boat, your family will be the sinners of the whole village! I wonder how you can stay in the village!"
Ruan's mother originally wanted to take a preemptive strike. In the past, she only wanted to act violently no matter what happened. No matter how hard you roll around, you won't be able to achieve your goal. Unexpectedly, I hit a wall today.
I was sitting on the ground, slapping my thighs and crying, "Why is my life so miserable! You are all bullying our family, God! Open your eyes and look!"
< br>
Ruan's mother's cry attracted many villagers to watch.
The old village chief had a straight face and motioned to the others to collect their money and go back first.
The meddlesome villagers asked a few words, and Ruan’s mother added to the story of why the noble looked down on Ruan Haizhu, "Can you be so cruel if you have money? The village chief even helped outsiders. You bullied my daughter! You didn’t even speak up for her!”
The villagers talked a lot, but the old village chief remained unmoved.
Hiding in the crowd, Ruan’s father saw that Ruan’s mother had been making trouble for a long time to no avail, so he had to step out and ask for an explanation, "Village chief, you have to support us!"
The old village chief sneered, glanced at the villagers who were not leaving, and said calmly: "Okay! You can return the fishing boat to me now, otherwise you will have no confidence!"
When everyone heard this, they all started talking. Change of face.
"Village chief, what does this have to do with fishing boats? Why do we need to return the fishing boats because of Ruan Haizhu's incident!" Several men who were watching the excitement quit.
The old village chief glanced at Ruan's father and Ruan's mother mockingly, "Our village doesn't have the money to buy a fishing boat. The fishing boat belongs to a nobleman. We will have to bear this debt for decades! Even the money must be paid back. No, why are you pointing fingers at others?
Don’t say that they look down on the people in our village, even if they come to the door, you have to hold back! ”
Upon hearing this, everyone scolded Ruan's father and Ruan's mother for not being able to carry it. Some people came forward and kicked the couple out of the village chief's house, and warned: "If you dare to offend the nobles and bring down the whole village, I will kill you!"
Ruan's mother was so frightened that she didn't dare to fart, and followed Ruan's father home in despair.
When the couple arrived home, they discovered that Ruan Haizhu was missing, including her luggage.
The two of them thought that Ruan Haizhu was unwilling to give in, and ran to Xiaogang Village to beg the nobleman to buy her. Not only were they not worried, they were also vaguely looking forward to getting the money tomorrow.
Su Tai and his party set out before dawn the next day.
Before leaving, the villagers prepared a lot of dried seafood for them.
For example, dried shrimp, dried balang, small miscellaneous fish, dried shell meat, dried sea vegetables, etc.
These things are rare in Langya country and are very expensive, but here they are as cheap as home-grown vegetables.
Xu bought a car in one go.
Su Tai thought that they were likely to encounter danger when passing through the uninhabited area of the ice field, so it was necessary to buy some seafood for backup, especially fish.
Just buy dried fish in large quantities in the village.
By the time the things are packed, the sun is almost coming out.
The team accelerated on the road, unaware that there was a tail behind them.
Ruan Haizhu has been waiting in Xiaogang Village since last night. This night, she huddled outside the house of an old woman she saw last night. When it got light, she went to the entrance of the village to wait.
When you see the convoy leaving the village, follow it immediately.
She had thought about it, as long as she followed the convoy to Langya Country, even if this family didn't want her, she could still sell herself to other wealthy families, and she would definitely be able to live a good life. The convoy walked for a long time before the escort discovered Ruan Haizhu who was following them and stepped forward to report the situation to Su Tai.
"Mrs. Shen, that little girl must have been following us for a long time. She seems to be planning to cross the ice field with us."
Su Tai opened the car curtain and walked towards After taking a closer look, my eyes became a little more clear.
Xu asked: "What's going on?"
Su Tai smiled and said, "It's nothing. She is a girl with a lively mind. Don't worry about her. If she wants to follow, we will just keep walking."
The escort understood and let the convoy continue to move forward at a fast pace.
Ruan Haizhu, who was following behind, saw that the motorcade had no intention of stopping, and there was a bit of anger on her face. It was obvious that those people had discovered her, but they were indifferent! Are they still people?
At this time, Ruan Haizhu was filled with resentment towards Su Tai and completely forgot about her family.
Ruan's father and Ruan's mother waited at home for most of the day without receiving any news, so they had to go to Xiaogang Village in person.
Both of them were extremely nervous when they arrived, fearing that they might encounter the noble's guard and be beaten accidentally.
When I arrived, I found that the whole village was quiet. Except for the elderly with limited mobility and the children who were unable to walk, there was no one there.
After asking around, I found out that all the men in the village had gone to sea, and all the women and children went to the beach, including the village chief and his family.
The couple had no choice but to grit their teeth and go to the beach to find someone.
Finally seeing Yu Xinghai, Ruan's father immediately asked: "Where did my daughter Haizhu go? Where did you take her?"
Yu Xinghai looked confused, "Who are you? I don't know your daughter!"
"You are still making excuses! It was you who went to our village to say that the noble wanted to buy someone, so my daughter must have come to your village. !" Father Ruan was very excited.
Yu Xinghai’s expression changed, he realized something was wrong, and asked again and again.
When he learned that the Ruan Haizhu Ruan's father was talking about was the little girl who contradicted Su Tai yesterday, his face instantly became very ugly.
"That girl of yours is quite naughty! You dare to contradict the noble man! I have already asked the head of your village to take her back. What's wrong? Didn't she get home? Then I have to go to your village and ask!" Yu Xinghai gave the things to his wife and was about to go to the next village.
Ruan's father and Ruan's mother felt guilty and had to tell the truth in a soft tone, "My girl went back, but she ran away again! She said she came to your village!"
Yu Xinghai hurriedly denied, "No. No, no, she didn’t come to our village. ! The noble man stayed at my house yesterday. Our family and the nearby villagers can testify that no one came to our house last night! Don’t blame us for your failure to take care of your daughter!”
Some people in Xiaogang Village know Ruan! father Ruan's mother's people came over one after another and said to them: "I wonder if your girl lost her temper and ran away somewhere? Before the nobleman left this morning, he was still collecting dried fish in the village. Every household that had stock was sent there. The noble one picked her.
We didn’t see your daughter at all.”
“Yes! Your girl is good-looking. If she was here, we would have discovered it early.”
Everyone was talking a lot, and the more they talked about it, the paler their faces became.
Ruan's mother sat down on the beach and cried loudly, "My sea pearl is lost, my sea pearl is lost! Woo woo woo" (End of this chapter)
