"Why are you running away! You won't suffer any loss if you marry our fifth brother!"
"That's right, our Lao Wu really loves you now!"
Seeing her frightened look, Wang Laowu became complacent and put on a self-proclaimed benevolent face: "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. You want to study, and I'm not forbidding you. If you marry me, I'll support your education. What do you think? If your mother knew I was so understanding and willing to support your education, she would definitely be overjoyed to marry you to me!"
Several people from the Wang family looked at each other, with calculating glints in their eyes.
It turned out that the Wang family had also heard that Zhong Xiaoxiao had been publicly praised by the commune leaders some time ago, and knew that this girl had a promising future.
With a daughter-in-law like this, they were even more reluctant to let go and were determined to marry Zhong Xiaoxiao home.
Zhong Xiaoxiao refused to believe his lies. She was so scared that her whole body was shaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried, "My mom...my mom will never marry me to you! Get out of the way!"
"Hey, you little girl is quite stubborn!" Wang Laowu was rejected, his face a little embarrassed, and his patience was exhausted. He glared at Zhong Xiaoxiao and reached out to pull her arm: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. You have to leave today, whether you want to or not!"
"Don't touch me!" Zhong Xiaoxiao was so scared that she tried desperately to hide, but there was no way to hide.
Zhong Yuanyuan in my arms screamed "Wow" and was finally scared to tears.
Just when Wang Laowu was about to grab Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand——
"Stop it!"
A roar of anger was heard!
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind came whistling!
"Ouch!" Wang Laowu felt a sharp pain in his arm and staggered back several steps.
I saw Zhang Chunxue had arrived at some point, holding a wooden stick as thick as an arm that she had picked up from the roadside, her eyes wide open, like a lioness protecting her cubs!
She knocked Wang Laowu away with one stick, and then swept across with another, forcing the Wang family members surrounding Zhong Xiaoxiao to retreat.
Zhang Chunxue rushed forward and pulled Zhong Xiaoxiao and the crying Zhong Yuanyuan in his arms behind him to protect them.
Holding a wooden stick, she glared at the Wang family, her chest heaving violently as she shouted, "I wonder which bastard dares to touch my daughter!"
It turned out that Zhang Chunxue went out to look for Xiaoxiao. As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she saw from afar the Wang family's group surrounding her daughter, and Wang Laowu was even touching her.
Thinking that in her previous life, Zhong Xiaoxiao was beaten to death by Bai Wang Laowu, at that moment, she felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. She didn't care about anything else and picked up a broken branch from the side of the road and rushed over!
"Mom!" As soon as Zhong Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Chunxue, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed and she burst into tears.
She hid tightly behind Zhang Chunxue, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Zhang Chunxue's clothes, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. The sense of security that was like returning to the world from hell made her cry even louder.
Wang Laowu's arm was hit by the wooden stick and it hurt so much that he covered his arm and grimaced. His mother, Wang Po, was so angry that she jumped up and down and started cursing at Zhang Chunxue.
"Zhang Chunxue! You crazy woman! What are you doing?!"
Wang Laowu's sister-in-law also shrieked, "We are all going to get married, and you are so cruel! It's really too much!"
When Zhang Chunxue heard this, she felt like she had heard a huge joke. She tightened her grip on the wooden stick and spat on the ground.
"Bah! Who the hell wants to be related to you bastards?! Stop flattering yourself! Take your people and get the hell out of here!"
When Wang Laowu heard this, the false kindness on his face completely fell apart. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Zhang Chunxue! Don't be so shameless! Your family has already accepted the betrothal gift! A full 100 yuan! Your daughter, Zhong Xiaoxiao, must leave with me today!"
Zhang Chunxue raised her eyebrows, the sarcasm in her eyes becoming even stronger. "Dowry? Bah! I've never seen a single cent from your Wang family! Whoever took your money, go ask them for it! Stop framing me here!"
Wang Laowu was furious at her stubborn attitude and shouted fiercely, "You still dare not admit it? Fine! Just wait! Believe it or not, I'm going to the commune to report it to the police right now!"
After hearing this, Zhang Chunxue was not afraid. Instead, he took a step forward and slammed the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, making a dull sound.
She sneered, "Alright! Call the police! I want to see, you're blocking the road and robbing people and women in broad daylight. When the police come, will they arrest me or you beasts?"
As soon as she said this, several people in the Wang family suddenly became agitated and looked at each other, confused about the situation for a moment.
Did she really not get the betrothal gift? But her family had already given money!
The main reason was that Zhang Chunxue's words were too firm and righteous, and he didn't seem guilty at all.
Wang Laowu's eldest brother, a middle-aged man who seemed to have some brains, looked at his brother suspiciously, then turned to his mother, Mrs. Wang, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, that money... that money was really given to Aunt Zhang?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned by the question, then she stiffened her neck and said, "I... I did give it to you! I gave it to you with my own hands!"
She paused, then added, "I gave it to Zhang Chunxue's mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law personally agreed and took the money herself!"
"Oh—" Zhang Chunxue said in a long voice, with a knowing sneer on her face, "So it was Liu Cui'e who took your money!"
Her face immediately darkened: "Then go find Liu Cui'e and ask for her!"
"Everyone in Kaoshan Village knows that we, an orphan and a widow, have long since separated from the Zhong family's old house and have kept our distance from each other!"
