Chapter 253 Hand it over! I'll spare your life!
After hearing what Xu Qianqian said, Zhang Da nodded excitedly:
"Okay, my husband will listen to my wife. Let's go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to get married!"
Xu Qianqian smiled and nodded. Seeing this, Zhang Da quickly blew out the candle, took Xu Qianqian's hand and lay down on the kang.
The next day,
Jiang Yuwei and her group had not been able to sleep since what happened last night. They got up before daybreak and did not even have time to eat. They packed their bags and rushed to Xiaogouzi Village.
As soon as they saw the village monument of Xiaogouzi Village, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly ordered everyone to find a nearby woods to park the ox carts and horse carriages. This would not only make them less conspicuous, but also allow the oxen and horses to have a full meal.
Jiang Yuwei asked Wang Ma and the other women to stay in the car to look after their belongings. Ning Huaizhi, Goudan and Ning Zhaoben also wanted to follow them into the village, but Jiang Yuwei was afraid that there might be problems in the village, so she asked them to stay outside and keep an eye on the situation in the group and protect the women.
Jiang Yuwei led the remaining men into the village with their weapons. Not long after entering the village, they saw an old man wearing a straw hat. Jiang Yuwei hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old man and asked with a smile:
"Uncle, are you from Xiaogouzi Village?"
The old man looked Jiang Yuwei up and down, then looked at the man following behind her, and then spoke vigilantly:
"Yeah, what's wrong, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuwei still smiled and said:
"Oh, I finally found the right person. I came to Xiaogouzi Village to look for my aunt. Do you know where Mrs. He lives?"
When the old man heard Jiang Yuwei say this, he also let down his guard and said with a smile:
"Oh, you mean Mrs. He. I was just about to go to her house to watch her eldest son get married. How come you are also invited by Mrs. He to attend the wedding banquet?"
Jiang Yuwei was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said:
"Yes, yes, my eldest aunt sent us a letter asking us to come to my brother's wedding banquet, so here we are."
Seeing this, the old man greeted enthusiastically:
"Okay, just follow me. Mrs. He's house is far away, you won't be able to find it if you go by yourself."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then turned around and signaled the people behind her to be more vigilant.
"Hey, your eldest aunt is not an easy person. She raised two sons by stealing in the village all day long. Although her reputation is a bit bad, she was able to find a wife for her eldest son, which is not easy."
Jiang Yuwei was speechless when she heard this. This old lady He was indeed not a good person. She was afraid that this second daughter-in-law was also stolen. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei said:
"Ah, my eldest aunt has had a hard life. She only asked someone to send me a letter saying that my brother got married, but she didn't tell me whose daughter he married. I wonder if you know whose daughter this bride is?"
The old man thought for a while and shook his head:
"I really don't know. Look, early in the morning, Mrs. He went door to door to inform everyone to go to the wedding banquet. She just said that the new bride is from another village with the surname Xu, but she didn't say which village she was from."
Ning Chunlin, who was following behind, clenched his fists after hearing what the old man said. He knew with his toes that the new daughter-in-law that Mrs. He was talking about was Xu Qianqian. He hadn't even married Qianqian yet, but now she had fallen into the hands of that thief.
Ning Zixuan, who was standing next to him, also noticed that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly reached out to pinch Ning Chunlin's shoulders, fearing that he would fail to hug him and reveal his true identity, which would ruin the situation.
Soon, the old man brought Jiang Yuwei and his party to the door of Mrs. He's house. At this time, the door was already full of villagers, and Mrs. He was busy setting the table in the yard.
Jiang Yuwei looked up and saw that this mud house didn't even have a courtyard wall. With the kitchen, there were only two rooms, and it looked shaky. It really embodied the meaning of the phrase "bare walls" to the fullest.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the food that He Pozi prepared for the guests in the courtyard. It was all food that Wang Ma prepared for the trip. So Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Chunlin and Yun Qing:
"We'll start arguing in a little while. You two can find a chance to go into the house and rescue Xu Qianqian."
Ning Chunlin originally wanted to refuse, but after being glared at by Jiang Yuwei, he dared not say anything and could only nod silently.
Afterwards, Jiang Yuwei pushed aside the villagers blocking the door and walked in.
As soon as Mrs. He, who was moving the table, looked up, she met Jiang Yuwei's sharp eyes. She was so scared that she lost her grip on the table and dropped it directly on her feet. She screamed in pain:
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"
Jiang Yuwei walked straight up to her and said coldly:
"Hand over the people and the things, and I will spare your life!"
Jiang Yuwei said this in a voice that only she and Mrs. He could hear. After she finished speaking, Mrs. He was so frightened that she took several steps back and said hesitantly:
"I, I don't know what you are talking about, who you are, what you are, who brought you to my house, get out, get out."
At this time, the old man who brought Jiang Yuwei over hurried forward to smooth things over.
"Oh, Granny He, come on, how could you do this? After all, the child calls you aunt and comes from far away. Why do you want to chase the child away as soon as she enters the house? This is a happy day, more people will make it more lively, and she won't need a bite of food, right? You can't get angry today."
Hearing this, Mrs. He's face turned red with anger, and she pointed at the old man and cursed:
"You're talking nonsense. Who said I was the eldest aunt? I, I don't even know her. Don't meddle in our family affairs here!"
The old man felt ashamed when he saw that he was scolded by Mrs. He for his good-hearted persuasion. He then turned around and walked out, still cursing:
"Bah, I think you are an ungrateful person. The relatives came to attend your son's wedding banquet with good intentions, but you drove them out. You even came to my house early in the morning to beg me to come for dinner. When I came, you made such a fuss. I really deserve to give you face. You might as well not eat this filthy thing in your house! I don't even know where you stole it from!"
When Mrs. He heard this, she immediately jumped up and cursed:
"Get out of here! Get out of here right now! If I see you again, I will break your legs with a broom."
At this time, Zhang Da and Zhang Er, who were cleaning up inside, heard He Pozi's voice and hurried out of the house.
"You damned woman, today is my big day, why are you cursing here?"
When Mrs. He saw her son coming out, she quickly pulled Zhang Da aside and whispered:
"Oh no, son. Did you see that? These people are here to ask for people and things. What should we do?"
