Chapter 494 Uniting Against External Forces

So he tightened his grip on what he was holding, becoming secretly vigilant and on guard.

Helian Jiao noticed the unfriendly gazes around her, but she didn't take them to heart at all.

She walked with her head held high and her short legs striding at the front, alongside Big White.

The boy who brought the news rushed into Old Zhang's house, panting, and said, "Uncle Zhang! A group of people with sticks and hunting rifles have come into our village. My dad said it's probably the family of the child bride you bought. They've come to ask for her back!"

The Zhang couple were stunned for a moment, then quickly came out of the house: "What happened?!"

The boy repeated, "A group of strangers came into the village. My dad said they're probably the family of the girl your family bought!"

The two men looked surprised. They had always thought that a daughter who could be bought with money must be disliked by her family.

But I never expected that they would come all the way to my door just for a little girl!

Upon hearing this, Sanni's face lit up with renewed hope. Could it really be her grandparents coming to find her?

She stood up, leaning against the door, and tried to peek out through the crack.

It must be their grandparents!

They definitely won't let themselves be sold off like this!

The elderly Zhang couple were worried that they really had come to take their child away, so they hurriedly urged their son, "Quick! Xiaolong, you two go and call all the men in the village, young and old, to come and support us. We can't let them take the person away!"

I finally managed to buy an educated girl. I've already paid the money and got her. How can I just back out like that?

The two children nodded in agreement and ran out.

In fact, they didn't even need to invite them; the villagers, having already heard the news, came with sticks to show their support.

That's how it used to be in their village; they would rely on their numbers to beat up other people who came to take their daughters.

If anyone doesn't come, when their child bride is taken away, the villagers won't help.

After all, this is a major matter concerning the continuation of the family line, and no family dares to be careless!

So over time, the villagers got used to uniting as one against outsiders.

So when Da Bai led the group to Old Zhang's house, they saw a group of villagers with sticks in their hands, their faces full of hostility, blocking the door with fierce eyes.

These people from the foot of the mountain really have come to demand our people back!

Big White immediately crouched down, baring its teeth and growling at them in a low growl: "Roar!!"

An experienced hunter recognized Da Bai at a glance and exclaimed, "They actually kept such a big wolf!"

Judging by its size, it's definitely an alpha wolf!

How is that possible!

Wolves are faster, have a better sense of smell, and their claws and teeth are superior to dogs. Hunters have tried to tame wolves to replace dogs, but without exception, they have all failed.

Some people have even lost a leg, half their life, or even their entire life because of this!

Because wolves would rather die than be tamed by humans!

Upon hearing Da Bai's voice, San Ni burst into tears of joy, pounding on the door: "Grandpa, Grandma! Da Bai! I'm here! I'm here!!"

They really came to rescue her!

Upon hearing her voice, Helian Jiao immediately wanted to rush into the house to save the person. She had just taken a step when Chen Jianjun picked her up: "Don't worry, we will definitely bring Sanni back."

Given the current situation, they can't just take it away as they please.

The villagers were stunned when they saw the fair-skinned and chubby Helian Jiao: How could such a girl be raised so well!

The Zhang family secretly realized something was wrong; the other party didn't look like someone so poor they would sell their daughter!
