Chapter 2 Get your household registration back
"Although I'm not the King of Hell, you are a real disaster star." The village chief shouted fiercely, "Have you forgotten? The day before your birthday last year, your grandparents suddenly fell ill, and died the day after your birthday, and they died at the same time. Do you dare to say it's not because of you, the disaster star?"
"If I were a disaster star, I would kill you first." Du Wanwan clenched her hands at both sides of her body into fists, as if she was ready to hit someone if she disagreed with someone. "As the head of a village, you don't want to prepare for the villagers to flee the famine, but you have the leisure to slander others."
The village chief was so angry at her words that he jumped up and down, "How is it slander? You are a disaster star, a disaster star recognized by the whole village."
"Who caused the Dujia Village to flee from famine? Was it me, the star of disaster, who caused it? What a joke!" Du Wanwan's tone was still icy cold, as if she wanted to freeze people into popsicles. "The northern barbarians also caused me, the star of disaster, to attack? Ignorance!"
The village chief couldn't convince her, so he pointed at Du Jiang and said, "Du Jiang! Tell me, do you still want to escape the famine with us? If you do, we'll deal with the disaster star in your family. Otherwise..."
"What do you want?" Du Wanwan interrupted the village chief and asked coldly.
Shrinking his neck, the village chief suppressed his fear and answered: "Otherwise, we will expel you from our Dujia Village and not allow your family to follow us."
Du Jiang's brothers Du He, Du Hai, and Du Tao jumped out immediately.
Du He said, "Village Chief! If you want to evict us, then evict my eldest brother's family. The three of us brothers cannot leave the village."
Du Hai nodded: "Yes, just expel my eldest brother's family. We can't be expelled."
Du Tao said: "The disaster happened in my eldest brother's family, it has nothing to do with us."
Du Jiang looked at his three younger brothers and was very angry: "You, you, you..."
"What's wrong with us? There's nothing wrong with what we did." Du He's wife, Mei, spoke with dissatisfaction and contempt on her face.
Du Hai's wife, Chen, followed up with a sentence: "Whoever dares to walk alone with his family on the road to escape famine will be risking his life."
Du Tao's wife, Qiu, glared at Du Wanwan and said, "Brother! If you agree to kill this evil star, we will take you with us."
Yao Meixian pouted Qiu's face and said, "Qiu! You damn bitch, what right do you have to decide whether we follow you or not?
Isn't it just fleeing from famine? What if we can't escape by ourselves? Husband! Bring our household registration here. If we don't want to follow, then we won't follow. If we leave the villagers, I don't believe we can't escape."
"You can get the household registration, but bring me ten taels of silver." Qiu glanced at Du Jiang and said complacently, "Brother! Don't say I'm bullying you. The household registration is in my hands. If you don't give me the silver, don't even think about taking it away."
Why is the household registration in Qiu's hands? It's because Du Jiang was careless. He didn't separate the family after his parents passed away. He just separated two days ago and said he wanted to flee the famine before he had time to think about getting the household registration.
Qiu had sorted out and collected my parents' belongings. Normally, we all ate from the same pot, so I didn't think much about it. But now that I needed them, I remembered that Qiu had them in my hands.
Ten taels of silver is not a small amount. Ordinary people need to work for at least two or three years to save up that much. Qiu asked for ten taels right away, which was clearly a huge sum.
Du Wanwan looked at her coldly, walked over, and asked coldly: "Do you really want ten taels of silver? Not a penny less?"
"Yes!" Qiu laughed arrogantly, "Ten taels of silver, not a penny less."
"What if I don't give it to you? What are you going to do?"
Du Wanwan's face was expressionless, her eyes were sharp, she stretched out her hand and grasped Qiu's neck, gradually tightening her grip. The villagers were stunned, and no one reacted.
The three invisible men gathered together and whispered to each other.
"This girl's hands are quite strong. Look, she lifted the person up. Master! Could she be born with supernatural powers?"
Ye Tingxiao, who was called the master, growled softly: "Shut up!"
The man didn't dare to speak anymore and covered his mouth. The people next to him glared at him and said with glee: "You deserve it!"
No matter what expressions the people in Dujia Village had, Du Wanwan's hands were always on Qiu's neck. Du Jiang and Yao Meixian were so scared that they shouted at her to stop, but she had never heard of it.
He interrogated Qiu: "Will you give me the household registration or not? Don't count on your man and son to save you. Countless people died of starvation, thirst, exhaustion, and being killed by bandits on the way to escape famine. Without you, they can save some food."
Don't expect the soldiers to rescue you. If everyone flees, who will be in charge? The government no longer exists. Whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.
If you make me unhappy, I will kill you, which is normal, just like you said you wanted to kill me before. "
When the village chief saw that Qiu had rolled her eyes, he quickly called out to Du Jiang, "Hurry up and let her go. She is being disobedient and unfilial. She will be punished by God."
When the other villagers saw Du Wanwan's ferocious look, as if she was a demon crawling out of hell, they were all so scared that they dared not make a sound.
I was wondering if I had thrown stones at her before. If so, what if she remembered? I should just run home and hide!
Thinking of this, many people ran away, not daring to stay around this demon for fear of being strangled to death.
Mrs. Qiu really didn’t wait for her husband and son to rescue her. She was scared and quickly shook her head, indicating that she was willing to give the household registration. Du Wanwan let her go casually, and she “coughed, coughed, coughed, coughed”, covering her burning throat, and fell to the ground.
Du Wanwan's gaze was fixed on the village chief, like a cold poisonous snake, scaring the village chief so much that he shrank his neck unconsciously.
"Disobedience and unfilial behavior? Being punished by God? Would I be afraid? You are going to beat me to death and force my whole family to death, so why would I care about this?
Take out the family tree and cross out my father's branch. From now on, our family will have no relationship with anyone in the village."
Ye Tingxiao felt that Du Wanwan's words were powerful and impressive, and she didn't sound like an ignorant country girl at all.
Having escaped death, Qiu dared not to do anything naughty again. She quickly sent her son back to get the household registration of Du Jiang's family and handed it to her.
This girl is so scary. The process from birth to death is very terrifying, and from death to life is very precious. She is reluctant to give up.
The village chief sent someone to get the family tree, crossed out the name of Du Jiang's branch, and told the villagers that Du Jiang's family was no longer a member of Dujia Village.
Du Wanwan took the household registration and looked at it, then looked at the name that was crossed out in the family tree. She felt that it was correct and was very satisfied.
He said coldly: "From now on, our family will have nothing to do with the villagers, and we will not go with you to escape the famine.
Take your villagers and go first. I will set out with my parents and brothers in three days. Even if you meet them, don't try to establish a relationship with them."
The village chief glared at Du Wanwan: "You'd better keep your word."
Du Wanwan showed no sign of weakness: "Anyone who can't do it is a coward."
