This was none other than Shihe Village, the poorest village in the entire Imperial Capital, in other words, a place where, in the eyes of others, not even a bird would poop.
The girl in front of him was dressed decently, and the two children were even better off, looking well-nurtured, clearly not from an ordinary family.
So, it was very possible that the other party might have passed by here unintentionally and, for some reason, got out of the car.
Then Zhao Hu harbored evil intentions towards the mother and her two children.
But the scene in front of him didn’t quite fit that, at least not the two people who rushed out, and the man lying on the ground not far away, who couldn’t get up, making it hard to explain what had just happened.
Xiaofeng, upon hearing the other party’s question, lifted her head to glance at him.
The man’s hairline was quite high, his forehead bulging with sparse hair. At a glance, his forehead was very smooth. His skin was dark, and what stood out most were his spirited eyes.
"That, I’m his cousin; he’s always been a no-gooder, a known scoundrel in the village. Miss, did he do something bad to you? If he’s caused trouble, tell me, and I will surely teach him a lesson." He knew Zhao Hu very well—he was not a good person.
"Brother, why are you speaking for her? Didn’t you see? She tried to kill me, brother, really, she’s not human, she’s..." Zhao Hu stuttered, for a moment unable to find the right words.
Xiaofeng, listening to Zhao Hu’s words, put more pressure on her foot.
"Ah..., Fairy, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have had designs on you, let alone thought about selling your son and daughter. Fairy, I was wrong. They used a woman to tempt me, saying that if I managed to ’turn raw rice into cooked rice’ with you, you would obediently settle down with me. I thought to myself, I’m afraid I couldn’t even support you, let alone your son and daughter, so I thought about selling them after you and I got together."
Zhao Hu continued to beg for mercy, "Fairy, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was just thinking, I didn’t really mean it."
Uncle Dog, hearing Zhao Hu’s words, glared, "You damned scoundrel, you even thought about selling someone’s little children, you say you...."
"Brother, it wasn’t my idea; how could I have the guts to court such a beautiful woman." Zhao Hu lay on the ground, groaning incessantly: "It was that man on the ground—he brought her to me."
Hearing Zhao Hu’s words, Uncle Dog understood everything, "Miss, are you and the children alright?"
Is his brother blind? Clearly, he’s the one with a problem. This Fairy and her children are unharmed, he doesn’t worry about himself, but worries about them instead.
What could possibly happen to them?
Listening to Uncle Dog’s words, Xiaofeng thought he was a good man and nodded faintly, "We’re fine, you should be more concerned whether he’s alright."
"As long as he’s hopping around causing trouble, it’s fine as long as he doesn’t die." Uncle Dog didn’t seem too concerned about Zhao Hu’s injuries.
To him, as long as Zhao Hu was alive, that was enough. If Zhao Hu was too well, the villagers around would suffer.
Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched as she looked at Zhao Hu, seeming to imply that by laying him out on the ground, she had somehow turned into a hero.
"Brother, you have to take me to see a doctor, if I don’t see a doctor, I really will die, brother." Of course, Zhao Hu knew the villagers disliked him. Whenever he took a dislike to someone’s family, he would make trouble for them, simply to prevent them from having a day of peace.
"Just lie there for now, you seem to be quite spirited, you certainly won’t die anytime soon." Uncle Dog said, ignoring Zhao Hu and walked over to another man.
He looked at the man, dressed nicely in a suit and tie, looking like a big boss from the city. He asked Zhao Hu, "Stinky Hu, since when did you start rubbing shoulders with city’s big bosses?"
"Brother, I don’t know him; they suddenly found me, saying they’d give me a wife. Of course, I was happy when they said they were bringing me a woman and even gave me a few hundred bucks to get on well with this wife. Brother, if I had known they were sending me a Fairy that nearly cost me half my life, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed."
Saying this, he pleaded with Xiaofeng, "Fairy, I really understand my mistake now, everything was their fault, they shouldn’t have brought you here. If not for them, I would never have these thoughts. Fairy, if you’re looking for trouble, go to them, it’s their fault."
Right, he was not to blame, he had no fault at all; it was quite normal for him to have thoughts when someone was brought right to his doorstep, right? He could assure her, this incident definitely wasn’t his doing.
