"You bald-headed rascal, didn't I tell you not to come looking for me for a while? What's the matter?" Yu Honglan asked impatiently while keeping an eye out for anyone around her.

The bald-headed man sneered and held out his hand: "Give me money. I've been beaten up like this, you don't think you can just get rid of me for twenty yuan, do you?"

Yu Honglan was amused by his self-righteous attitude. "It wasn't me who hit you. Why don't you go to Yu Yao for money, but come to me for money? Are you out of your mind?"

What does his beating have to do with her?

He's just a useless guy; he can't even beat a woman, ruining all the good impression she's worked so hard to build.

She was already being lenient by not asking him for compensation; how dare he ask her for money?

The bald-headed man said, "Of course I'm going to ask you for money. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bothered Yu Yao and gotten beaten up like this. If you don't give me money, I'll tell the brigade that you drugged Yu Yao and deliberately grabbed her slut."

Yu Honglan's expression changed drastically. Suppressing her anger, she took out five yuan and threw it to the bald man.

"Only five pieces, take it or leave it, we don't have any more."

The bald man weighed the money in his hand. "Five yuan? Are you trying to fob me off? Let me tell you, Yu Honglan, this isn't over until you get six hundred yuan."

Yu Yao is right, the culprit is Yu Honglan. Why is she completely unharmed, while he has to hide with a bruised and swollen face, afraid to be seen by anyone?

With this 600 yuan, he could live a life of luxury, gamble big or small, and marry any kind of woman he wanted.

"Six hundred?" Yu Honglan clenched her fists, her eyes red with anger, and she cursed, "Are you crazy for money? Six hundred yuan? Even asking for the moon isn't like that. Three hundred at most."

"I don't care, not a penny less than six hundred yuan. I heard the Lu family is coming soon. If you don't give me the money, I'll go to the Lu family and cause trouble. Then forget about marrying into the Lu family and enjoying a life of luxury, you can expect to be stuck in jail."

"If we don't have 600, we'll fight to the death."

Yu Honglan took a deep breath, looking at the bald-headed man as if he were a dead man.

"Okay, I promise you. This evening, right here, I'll give you the money."

"That's right, if we had done it this way earlier, none of this would have happened."

The bald-headed man walked away smugly.

Yu Honglan's eyes were icy cold.

Yu Yao watched everything from the sidelines, and felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she saw Yu Honglan's last look in her eyes.

This Yu Honglan is probably plotting to kill.

Unlike later generations where surveillance cameras and surveillance systems are everywhere, the cost of committing crimes was high in this era.

At this point, you could just find a spot in the mountains, throw the body away, and let the wild animals eat it, and there wouldn't be a trace left.

Just as Yu Yao was about to leave, she suddenly noticed that there was another person hiding in the shadows.

He was a man in his fifties, with a stubble beard, fierce eyes, and a bloodthirsty air about him.

As soon as the bald man left, he came out immediately.

"Honglan, do you want to..." The man looked in the direction of the bald-headed man and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Yu Honglan said disdainfully, "All you know is killing, killing, killing. If you hadn't killed someone and been wanted by the police back then, how could Mom and I have ended up living under someone else's roof? How could Tianbao and I have recognized Yu Defu as our father?"

In the shadows, Yu Yao raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, even Yu Tianbao isn't Yu Defu's biological son. Yu Defu is definitely wearing a thick green hat (a symbol of infidelity).

“Honglan, Dad was wrong. Dad couldn’t stand him threatening you. What do you suggest we do?” Li Weibing smiled ingratiatingly.

"Don't kill him, poison him to make him mute, break his arms and legs, and throw him away to another place."

"Whatever you say, that's what we'll do. Dad will arrange it right away."

Yu Honglan is truly ruthless.

Poisonous, mute, bald-headed man was stripped of his arms and legs and thrown away to another place. Without a letter of introduction, he had no way of returning.

However, what does it have to do with her? She doesn't mind watching the show.

Yu Yao suddenly heard the two talking about her, and she held her breath and listened carefully.

“A friend of mine is currently desperately looking for a young and beautiful virgin like Yu Yao. He can offer 500 yuan per person.”

Yu Honglan frowned: "Money is a small matter, but can he guarantee that Yu Yao won't run away?"

"No one who is sold there ever escapes. They are all chained up. The whole village is like that, so there is no way to escape."

“Then let’s do it this way. The Ghost Festival is in two days. Yu Yao goes up the mountain to pay respects to her dead mother every year. Let’s make our move then.”

After Yu Honglan and Li Weibing finished their secret plot, they looked around to make sure no one was there, and then hurriedly left.

Yu Yao emerged from the cornfield, looking in the direction the two had left, her peach blossom eyes deep and cold.

You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while barging into the gates of hell. In that case, we'll book you a full-service prison/labor camp package.

Chi Xianglan and Mu Hehe came to find Yu Yao.

Mu Hehe's eyes and brows were full of joy, and even her words were tinged with excitement.

"I've been calling you for ages, why haven't you said a word? Are you deaf?"

Yu Yao turned around and glanced at Mu Hehe indifferently, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees.

Chi Xianglan couldn't help but swallow hard, and stammered, "It's...it was Director Yu who sent us to call you. You have guests at your house, they seem to be from Guangdong Province."

Yu Yao didn't even glance at the two of them, and walked down the mountain with her things.

"Why did you provoke her? Can't you see she's in a bad mood?" Chi Xianglan said, somewhat displeased.

"Who wants to mess with her?"

Mu Hehe was also unhappy.

She was actually scared by Yu Yao, damn it!

Yu Yao was her defeated opponent in her past life, and she will definitely be the same this time.

She can forget about marrying Yun Qi and becoming his legal wife in this lifetime.

Seeing Yu Yao walk away, Chi Xianglan grabbed Mu Hehe and hurriedly chased after her.

It's several miles from here to the brigade, and they can't find their way back on their own.
