Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 320 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (20)

Because the Gu family sold the wrong people, they are now raising money to redeem Gu Zai'er and Hu Zhaomei.

Mei Xiaowu was discovered by everyone at some point. He had stolen Wei Zhongyan's things, sold the Ganoderma lucidum and made 120 taels of silver. Now the Gu family was asking for the money.

"If you weren't vicious, how could my father and brother be sold to those places?"

"Gur, it was you who knocked me out..."

"Where did you get the money? Don't you feel guilty for selling my father and brother and making money?"

"Li Zheng, village chief, report to the police. We will not let this matter go."

"Mei Xiaowu and Ma Dazhuo are in cahoots with each other. Maybe they set this up."

"I will go find a place where I can reason with them. If my father and his family cannot return home safely, I will not let the evildoers have an easy life."

A group of people were arguing fiercely, and Mei Xiaowu's family kept apologizing and handed fifty taels of silver to the people from the second branch of the Gu family, saying that they would pay as much as they were owed.

As a result, the people from Yinghonglou and Wei'anzi were blinded by money and offered forty taels per person, but in the end it cost eighty taels.

The Ren Gu family was redeemed, but they didn't make a penny. Ma Dazhuo and his men came with receipts to ask for money, and Mei Xiaowu was left with ten taels as a balance.

Wei Zhongyan met up with Wei Jiyao and told them that her Ganoderma lucidum had been stolen and that the theft had led all the way to her own pharmacy. They were so angry that they reported the matter to the police.

"This thief is going too far. It's unreasonable."

"Second sister, when did you become so cowardly?"

"Do not talk."

It is now dark, and the incident has become a hot topic. Finally, the county magistrate and others could not stand the pressure from the Wei sisters, while the people from Fengzhu Village and Wujia Village insisted that Mei Xiaowu was the one who did it. With the attitude of making a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing, they targeted Mei Xiaowu directly.

"The owner of Yinghonglou and others, are you the masterminds of this matter?"

"Sir, we are only doing legitimate business. We don't want the money. We didn't know there were all these twists and turns."

"Last night, these few people came to my Yinghonglou to do business. There was nothing like what they said..."

The people under the "Gao Tang Ming Jing" slammed the table and stood up, spewing out foul language: "When did our county produce such a heartless evil person? This is intolerable. This official will punish the evil person immediately. Tell me where the two men are."

Mei Xiaowu complained bitterly and replied, "Sir, I don't know where Zhou Shenyun and his father-in-law are."

"If you don't know, then who knows?"

"Maybe they escaped... No, they went somewhere else."

Wei Jiyao looked at the people in the album and thought of the people he had seen at Wild Wolf Ridge this morning. He called the county magistrate over and said, "Sir, I have seen these two people today."

"where?"

"In Wild Wolf Ridge, they were staying with a lame woman, and the man called the woman his wife."

Mei Xiaowu became excited after hearing this, and endured the pain of being pressed on his hand, and said loudly: "My lord, I am innocent, maybe Zhou Shenyun is having an affair with a wild woman, and he framed me and my uncle and others."

The woman pulled her hair. How come things were getting more and more troublesome? She saw that it was too dark. Wei Jiyao signaled from the side. She said, "Let's stop here for today. Even if there are many doubts, it is a fact that Mei Xiaowu stole property. Come, take him to jail and retry him tomorrow."

The farce paused, and Gu Yuxi began to think about the time to go home tomorrow. It seemed that she could not leave her father and husband aside.

At dawn, Gu Yuxi woke up everyone, then led the cows, put them on the cart, and drove the cows away while waving a branch in his hand.

"This cow is not bad, but it costs money. Xi'er, you should spend the money you earned from selling the wolf... You should be more frugal, the cost is too high..."

"It doesn't matter how I spend my money. I'm not using it to do anything sneaky. Money is meant to be spent. I can buy a cow to plow the fields and transport goods. It's not a loss."

"Dad is just worried about being noticed by villains. If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. If you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives."

"I understand, Dad. I understand all these principles. I will definitely not care about those people from your mother's family."

"Who told you to say that?"

"Then pretend I didn't say anything."

"What's there to worry about those people over there? Don't bother with them."

"understood."

Yao Zhigang had severed ties with the Yao family a long time ago, and he remained silent after his daughter brought up all sorts of issues.

Gu Yuxi and his companions returned to Fengzhu Village in a swaggering manner, leading a cow and carrying a cart full of things. The villagers' eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Several people disappeared in their village yesterday. Now Gu Yuxi is back, and she came back with her husband's father.

"Miss, you are back, and you are with your husband and father?"

Gu Yuxi led the cow and answered the villagers: "My leg was seriously injured and I couldn't go to the battlefield. Now I'm back home to farm."

"no……"

"Auntie, is there something wrong with my family?"

"What a mess this is! Why are your husband and father with you? People from the county government are looking for them everywhere!"

Gu Yuxi said solemnly, "A few days ago, my husband and his family received a letter and knew that I was going home. But when I returned to Wild Wolf Ridge yesterday, I saw my husband running away with my father on his back. I didn't expect them to say that someone wanted to sell them to Yinghong Tower."

The outspoken person said: "It's not sold to Yinghonglou, but what they are selling is..."

"Big sister, I was just about to argue with the people from the second house. They shouldn't have moved out yet, right?"

"Well, why move now? There are fewer and fewer refugees, and I heard that our army has started to counterattack and won many victories. Moving is impossible."

"You should go to the county government office as soon as you have time."

"Sister, can you tell me what happened?"

Someone made a long story short: "Your second father's nephew Mei Xiaowu is crazy about money. He first planned to sell your husband and father, and then sold your second father and Zaiyi to Yinghonglou."

"I heard that he also stole a rich man's Lingzhi and sold it for a lot of silver."

"Xiao Yun, how did you and your father escape? We have been looking for you everywhere."

Zhou Shenyun looked at Gu Yuxi and began to cry: "My fellow villagers, those people are so heartless. My younger brother and his friends came here the other day. Who knew they were here to discuss selling me and my father-in-law?"

"Ah, are they really that group of people?"

"I was knocked unconscious by them. If I hadn't woken up early and carried my father-in-law away at night, we would definitely be... wuwuwu."

"You guys have a hard life too, luckily God bless you."

"I carried my father all the way north, and luckily I met my wife on her way home. However, she had difficulty walking, so we slept in the county for one night and returned home this morning."

"So that's how it is? It seems that Mei Xiaowu found out that you guys ran away and secretly captured your second father and the others."

Gu Yuxi said: "Fellow villagers, please bear witness for us. We are the victims, and they are not human beings."

"Who says it's not true? We are also afraid of being sold out."
