Deng Xue ignored the two of them and continued to ask the woman, "Have your family and your brother-in-law's family ever separated? Or have they always been considered one family?"
Hearing Deng Xue's question, the woman hurriedly said, "To answer your question, young lady, when my father-in-law was still alive, my head of the family and my younger brother-in-law had already started families.
The last thing my father-in-law did before he died was to divide the family property between my two brothers. Although our two families are often together, they must be considered two separate families.
What the woman didn't say was that the reason their two families were still together often even though they had separated was actually because her brother-in-law's family was always pestering them and taking advantage of them openly or secretly.
You know, when the family was divided, my father-in-law gave the old house at the head of the village directly to my brother-in-law's family, and ordered them to build a new house at the end of the village.
At first she thought her father-in-law was partial to her brother-in-law's family, but now she realized that her father-in-law had already seen through the heartless nature of her brother-in-law's family, and that letting them separate and rebuild their house was actually for their family's good.
It was a pity for her husband. In the past, out of brotherly love, he always took good care of his brother-in-law's family and never complained about it. But this time, he even lost his own life and implicated his daughter.
When the woman saw the vicious face of her sister-in-law, she wanted to tear her apart with her own hands.
If she didn't have to protect her daughter, she would have gone up and died with her.
Deng Xue got the answer she wanted and turned to look at the burly man and the mean woman. "Since we've split up, we're two families now. What does their business have to do with yours? What qualifications do you and your husband have to sell someone else's daughter?"
The mean woman was stunned and subconsciously argued, "No, girl, how can this be counted like this! After her husband died, we fled to the capital together. My husband is also the girl's uncle and can be her boss."
Deng Xue ignored her and asked the woman for her household registration. Then she started to confront the man, "It's written in black and white on the household registration that the mother and daughter are not from the same family as that woman. Even if the child wants to be sold, her mother has to make the decision."
The strong man was also confused by this household registration. Logically speaking, this was the case. Although private human trafficking was common and everyone knew it, it was not easy to say.
He dared to say that if he really said this, the other party would really invite him to the yamen for tea.
It seems that there is no way to take this girl back today. The strong man looked at the mother and daughter unkindly, and they both shrank back in fear.
Then he forced a smile on his face again and said to Ah Bing in a perfunctory manner: "Ah! This, this is a misunderstanding! I am also a victim!"
Then, he pointed at the mean woman beside him and said, "This bitch is the cause of all this trouble. Brother, I'm sorry."
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he is not in the right this time, and it is not worth it to force it for a girl.
Ah Bing still had that rascally smile on his face. "Sure, sure. But, brother, you better be more careful next time. Don't end up losing both the wife and the army, and end up getting fooled!"
As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at the mean woman who had not yet realized the danger.
Deng Xue glanced at her with disgust, and without any psychological pressure, he said, "Your Excellency, you gave the money for buying people to this woman's husband! Such a big thing happened, and her husband didn't show up.
Could this be something the couple had discussed long ago?
One of them comes out to trick you into buying someone, and the other one takes the money and runs away. When the time comes, the two of them will take the money and run away, leaving behind the burden of the widowed sister-in-law and niece. If anything goes wrong, you will be responsible."
The strong man was stunned, and his eyes changed when he looked at the mean woman. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had fallen into the trap of this bitch.
The mean woman shuddered with fear, finally realizing the danger spreading towards her, and hurriedly said, "No, I didn't know!"
The strong man didn't want to listen to her explanation. He stretched out his hand and said to her, "Where's the silver? Give it to me."
The mean woman suddenly became anxious. "The silver! The silver is with my boss, not with me! You gave it to him yourself!"
"How dare you talk back!" The sturdy man had a bad temper. He had already used up all his patience after dealing with Deng Xue, A Bing and others. Now the mean woman had hit a powder keg.
The sturdy man gave her a big slap on the cunt with his backhand, which made her spin twice on the spot and see stars.
Then he kicked her again, hitting her chest. She fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Ah Bing curled his lips and stepped forward to stop the strong man with a smile. This woman is not a good person. It is not a pity for her to die, but we can't let her cause a death here. There are children in the carriage! It will have a bad influence.
"That's enough, brother, please don't get anyone killed! It looks like the man has run away with the money. It's important to get the money back before he gets too far!"
The strong man twitched his lips. They took advantage of the refugees' starvation and spent the least amount of silver to buy people. It was not necessary to mobilize a large army for two taels of silver.
But that man dared to trick him, humph! You can escape the first day but not the fifteenth.
The strong man withdrew his hand and gave the mother and daughter an unwilling look before angrily picking up the mean woman and leaving. "Your man ran away with my money, so I'll leave him to you to pay off the debt. He can't control that girl, but he can control you."
The mean woman trembled with fear, not caring that the strong man was holding her collar, strangling her neck and choking her to death. She struggled and said, "Please spare my life! I'm old and not good-looking. I can't do the work of serving others!"
"Hahaha! You're quite self-aware."
"However, I originally only wanted you to do odd jobs in the building, but you reminded me.
In that case, I'll let you go to the slums in the south of the city! There are many bachelors there, and the men haven't been able to touch a woman for years. I think they won't mind you being old and ugly, as long as you are a woman.
They are still willing to pay ten cents for a night's sleep, and it doesn't have to be much. I can serve more than a dozen people a day, and I will get back my two taels of silver in less than two months.
Hahaha……"
The woman covered her daughter's ears tightly and did not let go until the obscene words gradually faded away.
At the same time, there was a wave of fear. It was so close, so close! Fortunately, fortunately, the head of the family must be in heaven and let them meet a noble person.
Deng Xue watched the mean woman being taken away with cold eyes, thinking: She deserves it. Harming others will eventually harm yourself, and now the retribution has come to me!
"Thank you, young lady, for your help."
The woman knelt on the ground with her daughter and sincerely thanked A Bing, Deng Xue and others.
