Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Mo Xiaoqiang
Auntie Sun triumphantly opened the door, her hips swaying like a water snake, her steps light as she entered the room, with Mo Xiaoqiang following closely behind.
“Madam, what on earth is going on?”
Mo Xiaoqiang saw Butcher Yu fainted on the floor and was bewildered. The door was clearly locked just a moment ago; why was there a strange man lying on the ground in the room?
Auntie Sun had thought she could catch Xuexue and Butcher Yu together, engaged in unspeakable acts. Seeing this scene, she was also stunned.
“Butcher Yu, Butcher Yu, what exactly happened?” Ignoring Mo Xiaoqiang’s questioning, Auntie Sun quickly went over to shake Butcher Yu, who was on the ground.
Stirred by Auntie Sun, the fainted Butcher Yu slowly came to.
“Where’s Xuexue?” Auntie Sun asked anxiously as soon as she saw him.
“Who knows, that damn girl is too ruthless, daring to hit me.”
As Butcher Yu spoke, he felt the wound on the back of his head, suddenly feeling sticky on his hand—a quick glance revealed it was blood. He immediately exploded at Auntie Sun, “You Fleawort Madam, are you trying to scam me? You took twenty taels of silver from me, promising a pure maiden, yet she beat me up .”
Butcher Yu was furious; not only had he failed to get Little Cabbage, but he also ended up severely injured.
“No, no, I also didn’t know that damned girl could be so vicious.” Auntie Sun had taken his money, and upon hearing this, she became anxious, shaking her head and waving her hands in denial.
“I don’t care, if I don’t see her in three days, I’m going to the government office to accuse you of marriage fraud.” After finishing his words, Butcher Yu shakily got up from the ground, ready to storm out angrily.
“Hey! Butcher Yu, don’t leave! I’ll go catch that damned girl Xuexue.”
Auntie Sun chased after him, blocking Butcher Yu’s path, not letting him leave. Now was a great opportunity; while Xuexue was drugged, to make the most of it—otherwise, they would have been busy for nothing tonight, and in the future, that wretched girl Xuexue would be on guard and not easily fooled again.
“Can you really find her?” One of Butcher Yu’s eyes was swollen and black from Xuexue’s kick, glaring at Auntie Sun ferociously with the other.
“Yes, yes.” Auntie Sun assured, patting her chest.
“I’ll be waiting then. You better not deceive me again.”
“No deception, I promise.” Auntie Sun vowed solemnly.
On the sidelines, Mo Xiaoqiang finally understood; all of this was Auntie Sun’s doing, trying to get Butcher Yu to ruin Xuexue’s purity and subsequently, to conveniently marry her off to him.
“You wicked woman, how can you be so heartless? Xuexue calls you Second Mother; how can you harm her ?” Mo Xiaoqiang bellowed at Auntie Sun.
“Why are you yelling? I’m doing this for your sake.”
“You harm my daughter and say it’s for my sake?” Mo Xiaoqiang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Pssh! She’s just a loss-making good; after all, she’s going to marry sooner or later, and now, Butcher Yu is willing to pay forty taels of silver, which is a sky-high price. That kind of good fortune would make any family giggle behind closed hands, yet here you are, blaming me?”
Since Mo Xiaoqiang had divorced Madam Xie, Auntie Sun had no fears.
Hearing there were forty taels of silver involved, Mo Xiaoqiang, while still upset, bit his tongue and said no more.
Indeed, for an average family marrying off a daughter, they would at most receive several taels as a dowry; forty taels of silver was indeed a fortune, no wonder Mo Xiaoqiang kept quiet.
“What are you standing around for? Hurry up and catch Xuexue, or the forty taels of silver will slip away,” Auntie Sun barked at Mo Xiaoqiang.
With his mind in disarray, Mo Xiaoqiang had no choice but to follow Auntie Sun to search for Xuexue.
Climbing out from Auntie Sun’s room, they ended up at the back of the Mo family’s house, a place rarely traversed by anyone, overgrown with weeds. Xuexue, still affected by the drug, had tripped over the underbrush several times, leaving her in a disheveled state. Not caring about appearances, she staggered towards a small depression on the edge of the village.
She didn’t dare let Madam Xie find out about her situation, hoping to return home once the drug’s effects had worn off to avoid worrying her.
But the drug was too potent. Her consciousness was growing more and more blurred, and the pain had reached its peak—feeling as though, without an antidote, her blood might boil and explode.
While staggering along, her foot stumbled over something.
Looking down in the hazy moonlight, Xuexue saw a man, lying on the ground, barely breathing.
Like seeing a savior, Xuexue, without hesitation, began to strip off his clothes, “Brother, it’s a code of the Itinerant World in an emergency.”
