Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Dog Bites Dog
After being reminded by Mo Xiaoqiang, Auntie Sun also recalled that the sisters familiar with Butcher Yu at the brothel used to say that Butcher Yu was unreliable, a petty person who would forget righteousness at the sight of profit.
“Damn it, he actually dares to target me, I’ll skin him alive tomorrow,” Auntie Sun cursed viciously.
“Right, my lady, I’ll accompany you tomorrow,” Mo Xiaoqiang volunteered, gleefully thinking to himself, with so much silver coming back, there must be half of it for him. Then, he could go back to spending freely in brothels and live it up like a Master.
Auntie Sun muttered ambiguously, fear tugging at her. She worried that if things turned sour, Butcher Yu, driven into a corner, might disclose her past at the brothel, and the Mo family would certainly not tolerate her.
“My lady, rest assured, with your husband here, I will definitely help you get the silver back.”
“I am not your lady, I am just your concubine,” Auntie Sun was still angry, her heart had chilled halfway because of Mo Xiaoqiang’s cold ruthlessness just now.
“If you’re not, then who is! Right now, you are the only woman I have. I will make you my legitimate wife sooner or later,” Mo Xiaoqiang said, trying to placate her.
But now Auntie Sun wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to these matters, she was solely focused on how she could get the money back from Butcher Yu.
At that moment, the village head’s inquiring voice came from outside: “Xiaoqiang, is everything alright?”
Mo Xiaoqiang had just remembered that the village head was outside. A burst of inspiration struck him and he quickly stood up and walked out. As soon as he saw the village head, he put on a sad face and pleaded pitifully, “Village head, you must help us get justice.”
“What happened?” the village head was a bit surprised.
“Our house was robbed.”
Mo Xiaoqiang, appearing like a victim, recounted the entire incident to the village head, who he also brought into the room to show the broken lock on the dressing table.
The young man beside him couldn’t help but laugh out loud, but realizing the mood was not right, he quickly covered his mouth and pretended to cough to cover it up: “Cough cough cough…”
The village head, while angry at the actions of Mo Xiaoqiang and his wife, also couldn’t help but see the irony. To think, Auntie Sun was either foolish or shrewd; she tried to set a trap for Xuexue but ended up setting it in her own den. She ended up harming none but herself, losing all her possessions. Who can she blame? It was all karmic retribution.
“Village head, you are the Great Master of Mo Family Village, you must stand up for me!” Auntie Sun was in unbearable pain, even forgetting the wounds on her arms, her heart filled with hatred and she gritted her teeth, the accursed Butcher Yu, that gold and silver jewelry was exchanged with her own body. During those years in the brothel, she had endured the pain of being demeaned by countless people, only to earn that little bit of hard-earned money, and now it all ended up in his pockets.
“This matter involves you bringing trouble upon yourself, and besides, Butcher Yu is not from our Mo Family Village, so I’m afraid it’s somewhat difficult,” the village head’s tone clearly indicated he did not want to get involved, letting them fight it out like dogs. After all, neither was particularly upstanding.
Upon hearing this, Auntie Sun began wailing again, “There’s no justice in the world! To be robbed right in our own home, and you, as the village head, do not even care, life can’t go on , oh woo woo woo…!”
Those words were clearly an accusation that the village head was not fulfilling his duties and not advocating for his people.
The village head’s expression instantly darkened: “You are the one with ulterior motives, wanting to harm others yet ending up losing everything, and then you blame others. That’s truly laughable.”
“Village head, don’t be angry. My wife just said something wrong because she was distraught over the missing silver. You’re a magnanimous person, please don’t take it to heart.” Mo Xiaoqiang followed up with a sheepish grin, trying to smooth things over.
