Chapter 149: 149 is ugly, sorry for using my hands on them Chapter 149: 149 is ugly, sorry for using my hands on them However, Goudan’s father, who was outside the door, heard everything clearly. Fear of getting involved and guilt intertwined, plunging the family into sorrow.
Soon, all the villagers were summoned to search for the missing individuals.
Not far from the Ye Family, Goudan’s father watched He’s, who had gone mad with guilt, struggle with his conscience.
Reason told him that he mustn’t speak out if he wanted to protect his son, but his conscience condemned him even more.
Eventually, Goudan’s father couldn’t hold back and reminded her, “Old Sister-in-law, everyone in the village is out looking for people, why haven’t I seen your family’s Li and Erya join the search?”
He’s burst through the crowd like a dam had broken and ran towards her home.
When she kicked open the door of the firewood shed, she found no sign of Li, only Ye Erya curled up alone on the wooden bed.
He’s, as if possessed, grabbed Ye Erya and demanded, “Where is that old bitch of a mother of yours? Where did she die off to?”
“I… I don’t know…” Ye Erya was so frightened that she couldn’t speak coherently.
Soon, Ye Ning’s family was also thrown into chaos, as their old man had gone missing too.
These days, people were stealing children, women, and even strong men, but there was no reason to kidnap a nearly fifty-year-old man!
Fearing for Ye Ning’s safety, his family also reported to the Clan Leader and began their search.
Led by Goudan’s father, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a group headed towards the back mountain.
When they found Li and Ye Ning, both were bound tightly to a tree.
However, there was no sign of Ye Jiu.
He’s had a premonition that Ye Jiu’s disappearance was definitely connected to Li.
Before anyone was let down from their binds, He’s clawed at Li’s face, marking her.
“You old whore, where is my daughter? Confess to me where you’ve taken her!” He’s demanded with eyes full of hatred.
Li, enduring the pain on her face, replied in horror, “No… I don’t know… I haven’t seen her…”
Fearing that Li might inadvertently reveal everything, Ye Ning quickly interjected, “Sister-in-law, you’re wronging us. The reason we were tied up here is because…” Ye Ning’s eyes flickered with an idea, “it’s because we saw human traffickers taking Jiujiu away. We wanted to help, but we were overpowered and ended up .”
“Bullshit! As if you two old things would save my daughter, it’s more like you harmed her…” He’s fumed, trying to lay hands on them, but was unfortunately restrained.
Ye Ning had always had a bad relationship with his own family, and it had never improved over the years. Li, moreover, had a feud with him over claiming both husband and child. To say they would save his child was something He’s was unwilling to believe.
She would more readily believe they had come to kick her when she was down.
Unfortunately for He’s, to others, her madness seemed like displaced anger, the psychosis of someone provoked by losing a child.
When Li was let down, she provocatively glanced at He’s.
They had initially agreed with those people to capture Ye Jiu, with the Soap Formula going to her and Ye Ning, and those people would take away the Ye girl.
But they hadn’t anticipated that after those people knocked Ye Jiu unconscious and saw her face, they regretted it.
They complained that the girl was too ugly, hardly worth the effort, and took their anger out on Li and Ye Ning. After a beating, they tied them up, and begrudgingly took the dead girl Ye Jiu away, considering the Soap Formula.
However, even though she didn’t get the formula, seeing He’s deranged state made Li feel it was all worth it!
