“Go and investigate the surroundings first. You’re not allowed to approach without an order,” Qin Huai said to Chi Jia and the others.
“Yes.”
Old Madam Wang originally did not want to talk to them here, but at this moment, it was clearly even more inappropriate to return to the village to talk. If the others in the family heard this, it would be a mess again.
She could only sit down on the big rock.
Looking at Qin Huai, who was still kneeling, Old Madam Wang said angrily, “Alright, stop kneeling. Get up and talk.”
As soon as Qin Huai stood up, Ah Yu waved at him. “Big Brother Ah You, come here. There’s still room here.”
Seeing this scene, Old Madam Wang sighed in her heart.
Why did this granddaughter of hers look smart sometimes and stupid at other times?
Could it be that in the future, she would have to count the money for this kid in front of him after doing all the work?
However, that was all she thought. All these years, Old Madam Wang could see it clearly.
These two children were smart, but they were not guarded against their families and the others. They deliberately had their thoughts written on their faces.
Moreover, she didn’t think that Qin Huai wanted to play tricks in front of Ah Yu. If All Yu wanted to sell him, he would probably negotiate his own price with the brokers without blinking.
In today’s matter, Qin Huai was the one who brought people to investigate the situation, but Old Madam Wang thought that perhaps Ah Yu was the one who went to pull this kid out.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Wang’s tone improved a little. She could not let another family’s child take the blame when her own child was impulsive.
“Grandma didn’t mean to scare you. Shanyang Village was originally a weak place, especially after all these years. Everyone said that it was a bad place, so they kept a respectful distance. Thinking about it, it was precisely because of this that they gave others a chance to take advantage of it and use it as a camp.”
Old Madam Wang saw that the two children were still a little confused. She originally did not want to explain too deeply, afraid that they would not be able to digest it now. But now that they were in this situation, if she really hid it from the children, they might cause some trouble in the future.
It was fine if they caused trouble, but they could not lose their lives.
Ah Yu was really puzzled. “Grandma, how do you know so much?”
“Why else? Of course it’s the two long-term workers our family hired,” Old Madam Wang said.
The so-called long-term workers were actually Blood Thirteen and the others. Back then, they were suppressed by Old Madam Wang to work in the village school to pay off their debts. Other than the fixed monthly salary, the two of them also held multiple jobs just to return the money as soon as possible.
Other than teaching the children martial arts, Blood Thirteen was also a commonly used coachman in the village. From time to time, he would go with the villagers to burn bricks. He also had a share of raising silkworms and selling silk blankets.
In addition, he also became Doctor Hu’s temporary guard. Every time he escorted Doctor Hu to the mountain to pick herbs, Doctor Hu would give him some remuneration and help him treat some hidden illnesses left behind when he practiced martial arts for free.
“He had long discovered that there was a camp over here, but the people over there only came to Hu Family Village occasionally to investigate. It’s considered them staying in their own lane and minding their own business, so Blood Thirteen didn’t mention it.” Old Madam Wang felt angry at the mention of this. “He long knew that those people had ulterior motives, but he said that no one hired him to investigate, so he couldn’t be bothered with them. It was only tonight when he saw that you were going to barge in that he came to look for me.”
Old Madam Wang did not say anything. Blood Thirteen originally wanted to look for the secret guards Qin Huai had left behind, but he was stopped by Old Madam Wang who woke up at night. In front of him, Old Madam Wang directly used her movement technique and jumped up, scaring Blood Thirteen so much that he almost choked.
The old lady actually knew martial arts!
