Chapter 157: This Girl Is Good, I Like Her
“There are good goods, so let my son pick first, he’s almost thirty years old…”
Village Chief Liu’s expression changed, and his wife immediately rushed into the yard to stop the person from continuing.
“Aunt Mei! We have guests at home!”
Aunt Mei was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth.
Village Chief Liu’s wife hurriedly pulled her out.
The yard quieted down, and Jiang Yuan and the others sat in the main hall looking at each other.
Village Chief Liu was so scared that cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Si Heng said casually, “Is the village chief still selling goods?”
“Yes.” Village Chief Liu raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Just selling some things to boost yang and kidney.”
“Those are good things.” Meng Xiaokai chuckled.
Seeing that they were not suspicious, Village Chief Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After lunch, Village Chief Liu escorted them to the entrance. “Do you need my wife to bring dinner over tonight?”
After discussion, Meng Xiaokai transferred another five hundred yuan to him, asking him to deliver dinner at seven in the evening.
“Okay, you guys take care.” Village Chief Liu watched them walk away, then walked towards Aunt Mei’s house with a solemn face.
“Old Liu…” Aunt Mei was knitting a sweater. As soon as she saw Village Chief Liu enter, she stood up with an apologetic expression. “Sorry, Old Liu, I didn’t know you had guests at home.”
“Damn it, you almost ruined a big deal!” Village Chief Liu scolded Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei didn’t dare to refute, and went into the room to get a black plastic bag and hand it to him. “Old Liu, please take care of my son, after all, he’s your nephew…”
Village Chief Liu opened the black bag and glanced at the money inside. “Only fifty thousand and you want good goods?”
“That’s all the money my family has!” Aunt Mei said with difficulty. “Old Liu, please help Bangzi, find him some good goods, so he can have a healthy baby, and he can achieve something like your son in the future…”
“Add another ten thousand,” Village Chief Liu closed the black bag. “And I’ll take you to see the good goods that He Zi brought back yesterday.”
Aunt Mei hesitated. “Then… then pay five thousand first, and the remaining five thousand can be paid back slowly, okay?”
“Fine.” Village Chief Liu sighed. “For Bangzi’s father’s sake, I’ll let you owe it for now.”
He tucked the black bag under his arm and stood up. “I’ll bring Bangzi to see tonight.”
After the sun set, Village Chief Liu came to Aunt Mei’s house again. “Call Bangzi out.”
“Got it!” Aunt Mei immediately went into another room to call him.
Bangzi walked out with crutches, and saw Village Chief Liu and shouted, “Uncle.”
Village Chief Liu said, “Let’s go, uncle will take you to find a wife.”
Little Mo Yan saw them leave from the eaves of the yard, flapped its wings, and followed.
The dark room emitted various pungent odors. He Yingying had been crying for a day and a night, her eyes were swollen, and her voice was hoarse.
She despaired, kneeling in the corner of the wall, often having thoughts of hitting her head to death, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Why is this happening…
At this moment, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside, and a beam of light shone in as the door was pushed open.
He Yingying shouted excitedly, “Let me out! What you’re doing is illegal…”
“Shut up!” Village Chief Liu reprimanded, shining his flashlight at the three women in the room, and asked the person beside him, “Baldy, which one did He Zi bring back yesterday?”
Baldy squinted to recognize people, grabbed Village Chief Liu’s flashlight and shone it on He Yingying. “It’s her.”
“What do you want?” He Yingying shrank back, a strong sense of unease growing in her heart. “Don’t come over…”
Village Chief Liu turned his head and handed the flashlight to the person next to him. “Bangzi, go and see how she is.”
Bangzi took the flashlight and walked towards He Yingying with crutches.
“Don’t come over!” He Yingying’s face was full of terror, and her whole body struggled forcefully, her back pressed against the wall, wishing she could burrow into it.
Bangzi shone the flashlight on her face. Although her hair was messy and her eyes were red and swollen, it was still clear that her skin was fair and tender.
Bangzi swallowed, “Uncle, this one is good, I like her!”
He Yingying saw the dense black spots on Bangzi’s face in the flashlight’s beam, as if he had a virus, and she screamed in fear.
“You like her?” Village Chief Liu said while smoking, “Then I’ll take her to your house tonight.”
“What are you talking about?” A sense of fear overwhelmed her, and He Yingying trembled all over. “Take me to his house? I don’t want to go to his house, call Li He’an! I want to see him!”
She pushed Bangzi with all her might and rushed towards the door.
The next second, her scalp felt a sharp pain.
Baldy reached out and grabbed her hair, dragged her back, and slammed her against the wall, saying fiercely, “Behave!”
“Uncle Baldy, don’t hurt her!” Bangzi said with a worried face.
Village Chief Liu and Baldy both teased, “Oh, Bangzi, you’re already feeling protective?”
Bangzi smiled shyly.
He Yingying fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, Village Chief Liu asked Baldy to help carry the person to Bangzi’s house.
Aunt Mei had been waiting at the door. Seeing Bangzi bring the person back, she smiled broadly. “You’re back! Thank you, Uncle Baldy, just send her directly to Bangzi’s room!”
Little Mo Yan saw this scene and immediately flew back to find Jiang Yuan.
“Yuan Yuan, something’s wrong, something’s wrong!” It flew in through the window and called urgently.
Jiang Yuan heard the noise in the restroom and quickly washed her hands and came out. “Little Mo Yan, what’s wrong?”
“He Yingying!” Little Mo Yan said anxiously, “The village chief took money and brought a male human with a lame leg to take He Yingying home!”
Jiang Yuan’s heart sank suddenly, and her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly. “She’s already been taken away?”
Little Mo Yan nodded vigorously. “He Yingying fainted!”
Everyone else looked at Jiang Yuan nervously.
“Jiang Yuan, what did Little Mo Yan say?” Xiao Xu asked uneasily.
Jiang Yuan’s gaze swept over everyone, and her tone was solemn. “Little Mo Yan said that the village chief took money and took He Yingying to someone else’s house.”
“So quickly?” Meng Xiaokai exclaimed.
Chen Ziqi frowned. “We need to find a way to save her.”
“Yes.” He Lewei said with a worried expression. “But the support arranged by Tiannan Province hasn’t arrived yet.”
“But He Yingying probably can’t wait.” Xiao Xu clenched her fist tightly, her gaze falling on Si Heng. “Boss.”
Si Heng pursed his lips, his deep eyebrows showing contemplation as he weighed the situation.
The villagers were numerous, and they were only a few people. He wondered if they could hold on until the support team arrived at the village.
“I have an idea,” Jiang Yuan suddenly said.
Si Heng turned his head to look at her, his deep dark eyes filled with a questioning meaning.
Jiang Yuan said slowly, “Little Gray said that the family that took He Yingying raised pigs, dogs, and chickens. Let them delay us first.”
“Will that work?” Chen Ziqi was not entirely at ease. “If they don’t delay, that He Yingying will be defiled…”
Jiang Yuan frowned. “But we don’t have any other options now. If we reveal ourselves prematurely, these scumbags will definitely find a way to escape. This is their territory, and if they hide intentionally, we won’t be able to find them.”
“That’s true.” Chen Ziqi sighed. “We have to prioritize the bigger picture.”
