Chapter 11 The Price We Received!
The panicked thug looked around, hoping that some villagers would stand up for him, but... no one did.
Hunzi realized that the people who had come to watch the show actually thought Xia Mo was right!
"You bitch!"
The scoundrel said this and turned to run away.
Strange things then began to happen!
The rascal inexplicably tripped and fell flat on his back!
The thug felt something grab his feet, and he frantically waved his hands, shouting, "Go away, go away..."
The villagers watching just thought the hoodlum had gone crazy from spending too much time in the casino.
Xia's father and elder brother were surprised and quickly surrounded the thugs in the center.
Brother Xia and Brother Xia held down the thug's shoulders on either side, while Father Xia gripped the hoe tightly with both hands, aimed it at one of the thug's hands, and raised the hoe high.
"I won't marry you! I don't want to marry you!" The thug kicked his legs in fear, and the feeling of his ankles being restrained by something became more and more obvious.
The thug screamed in terror, tears streaming down his face.
Before the hoe could even fall, Xia's father secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to do anything for his daughter, but he had never done anything like this before, and he was still very nervous and scared.
The villagers watching were at a loss for words.
Xia's mother choked up, about to say, "That's wonderful..."
But things are a bit off here as summer draws to a close.
“No, you must marry me. You said it yourself, ‘I will repay your life with my body,’” Xia Mo said seriously, word by word.
Xia's father, Xia's mother, Xia's eldest brother, Xia's second brother, and Xia's third brother could not understand.
The scoundrel said he wouldn't marry, so why is their daughter/sister refusing? Does their daughter/sister really want to marry the scoundrel?!
"No, no, no, I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't save you, it was Ma Yiyi! It was all Ma Yiyi's scheme! Ma Yiyi made me wait by the river... I just thought... why not take advantage of a free lunch... I didn't save your life, it was all Ma Yiyi's scheme..."
The scoundrel was terrified when he saw the hoe raised high by Xia's father, its sharp edge poised to strike him at any moment.
At this moment, all the hustler wanted was to escape the end of summer.
The villagers who had been summoned by Hunzi and Chen Yongping to watch were "blown up" and instinctively denied it.
"Impossible! What kind of person is Yiyi? How could she possibly hang out with thugs!"
"Don't listen to that scoundrel's nonsense!"
“Yiyi is just like you, we watched her grow up. Yiyi is timid and cowardly, how could she dare to do such a thing!”
Xia Mo looked expressionlessly at the villagers who were speaking up for her, and at her family members.
"Brother, can you help me write a confession and get the thug to sign it?" Xia Mo looked at Brother Xia.
Because the Xia family's income was average, the whole family sent their eldest son, Xia, to school to learn to read and write.
“Okay,” Brother Xia released the thug and went to the room to get paper, pen, ink, a small table, etc.
"MoMo, how could you listen to that scoundrel's nonsense?!"
Aunt Zhao from the same village sighed and tried to persuade him.
The Xia family members remained silent and continued with what they were doing.
Brother Xia wrote down what the hoodlum said on a piece of paper and then read it to him.
The thug nodded repeatedly, choking back tears as he asked, "Yes, yes, that's how it is... If I sign and put my fingerprint on it, will you let me go?!"
Brother Xia, with a gloomy look in his eyes, took out a small knife and approached the thug.
"I'll bite it myself, I'll bite it myself!" The thug was afraid that the angry Brother Xia would just kill him with a knife.
The scoundrel bit his finger and signed his confession.
"Get lost," Xia Mo glared at the thug, then turned to give her father and the others a sweet smile.
The problem of slackers is easily solved.
The thug discovered that the mysterious force binding his feet had disappeared. He hurriedly got up and tried to leave, but after taking only one step, his feet were bound by the mysterious force again, and he fell to the ground, kneeling and sprawling.
The hoodlum instinctively got up, but after taking only one step, he fell down again. After repeating this four or five times, the hoodlum realized something and stopped getting up. He then crawled on the ground like a dog, and sure enough, he didn't fall down again.
To the onlookers, it looked like the thug was so frightened that he stumbled and couldn't stand up, so he simply crawled away.
Chen Yongping's heart was pounding, and he felt something cool against his back. He couldn't help but look around.
Chen Yongping mingled with the villagers, hoping to leave together, but...
"bump……"
Chen Yongping fell.
The scattered villagers looked puzzled: "?" They stopped to watch, then looked at the flat ground.
Chen Yongping was certain that he tripped over something and that's why he fell.
Seeing nothing around him or at his feet, Chen Yongping got up and continued walking forward. After walking a distance...
About a hundred meters away from the Xia family's house, Chen Yongping fell down again. This time, however, it was not just a simple fall like before!
"what--"
Chen Yongping let out a bloodcurdling scream, arching his back like a shrimp, clutching his groin with both hands, tears and snot streaming down his face from the pain.
The dispersed crowd quickly gathered around Chen Yongping.
"You kid..."
The men who realized what was going on felt a chill run down their spines.
The married woman looked at the blood-stained sharp pebbles on the roadside and the location of Chen Yongping's bleeding wound, and instantly understood.
Seeing Chen Yongping's fate, Xia Mo withdrew her divine sense with satisfaction.
The sharp pebble was moved by Xia Mo using her divine sense. She wanted Chen Yongping to fall first, just to measure the distance Chen Yongping would fall.
She wants Chen Yongping, who had thought and acted on his own ideas, to pay the price he deserves!
As for the fate of the scoundrels...
Xia Mo turned around and looked at Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu, who were still trying to persuade Xia's mother.
Aunt Zhao looked at Xia's mother with an expression that said, "Why can't you explain this to me?" She said, "When Sister Ma came over, she also said that when Momo fell into the water, Yiyi was in the county town."
Aunt Liu also said, "Yes, it takes an hour to travel between the county town and our village! It's impossible for Momo to appear in the county town immediately after being asked to leave, isn't that right?"
Xia's mother stared intently at Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu with a gloomy face.
Xia's mother was still clutching the broom in her hand, the one she had grabbed when chasing away the thugs. She held it tightly in her hand, the veins on her fingers bulging.
"Are you saying my daughter lied to me?! That she risked her own life to lie to me?!" Xia's mother gritted her teeth so hard it made your teeth ache.
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu were silent for a moment. After that, they looked at Xia Mo with reproach in their eyes.
Witnesses and time have proven that Ma Yiyi is innocent. So, Xia Mo's insistence that Ma Yiyi pushed her into the water is a matter of Xia Mo's character.
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.
The two seemed to be confirming something, and after exchanging glances, they confirmed it.
Aunt Zhao said, "Is there any possibility?"
Xia's mother could easily understand the deeper meaning behind Aunt Zhao's words. Her face darkened, and she grabbed a broom and began to beat the two of them mercilessly.
"Get out! Get out! You're not welcome in my house!"
They even implied that it was her daughter who was smearing Ma Yiyi with her life and her innocence!
How could this be tolerated? Xia's mother was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
