Xu Cuihua feigned surprise and looked at Xu Lao Er with a blank expression.
"Huh? Did you call me just now?"
Seeing Xu Cuihua's bewildered expression, Xu Lao Er snorted coldly, not bothering to care whether Xu Cuihua had heard him or not.
Did these people come to your door to ask you anything?
Xu Lao Er looked at Xu Cuihua nervously. He had originally planned to go out and hide for a couple of days, but when he got to the road, he saw people asking around.
He was so frightened that he immediately hid, thinking that if he wasn't home, he would be a prime suspect.
So, after much deliberation, Xu Lao Er decided to go home.
Xu Cuihua told Xu Lao Er about the people who had come to inquire about the situation and what she had answered.
Xu Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these people should leave soon.
If all else fails, he'll accuse the other party of harming his wife and make them pay him.
Presumably, once these people hear that they have to pay compensation, they will stop bothering him.
Xu Lao Er glanced at Xu Cuihua, too lazy to pay her any attention, and simply told her not to talk nonsense and not to go out casually for the next two days before leaving.
Watching Xu Lao Er's departing figure, never closing the door behind him, Xu Cuihua revealed a mocking smile in her eyes.
She knew that Xu Lao Er wouldn't run away; Xu Lao Er was both incredibly brave and incredibly timid.
It's okay, it'll be soon...
Sure enough, these people suddenly broke into Xu Cuihua's house that night.
Originally, Xu Cuihua cooked in the kitchen, and the kitchen also needed a small door so that she could run outside.
She saw these people come out of the yard from the very beginning, looking menacing. They were accompanied by a familiar person, the neighbor from next door, the one who had seen Xu Lao Er burying things that night.
Xu Cuihua had no idea what these people were going to do. The moment she saw them come out of the yard, she ran straight out of the kitchen door.
As for what might happen at home? She had no idea.
Xu Cuihua ran towards the village chief's house, taking a shortcut along the way, and encountered a stranger along the way.
The other person stared at Xu Cuihua for a moment, and Xu Cuihua also pretended to be curious and looked at the other person back.
In fact, Xu Cuihua's heart was beating very fast.
She was gambling! Gambling that this person had never seen her before and didn't know she was Xu Lao Er's daughter.
Sure enough, the two passed each other without the other reacting at all.
Xu Cuihua continued walking forward, and deliberately looked back, only to find that the other person happened to be looking back at her.
She looked embarrassed and quickly turned around and left.
The man stared at Xu Cuihua's departing figure without giving it much thought, instead finding her reaction quite normal.
When he arrived at Xu Lao Er's house, he saw the eldest brother and the other brothers had tied Xu Lao Er to the ground and beaten him half to death.
When the eldest brother saw him return, he spat out a mouthful of phlegm and asked him a question.
"Did you see a girl, around ten years old, on your way back?"
The man shook his head, but then suddenly remembered something, and his pupils contracted.
"Does this man have a daughter?"
The leader glanced at the man sideways and said, "Yeah, this bastard dared to steal my money. When we asked him where it was, he wouldn't tell us, insisting that he buried it in front of his house. We searched his house thoroughly, but we couldn't find it."
His face darkened. "If all the money and gold bars are gone, we'll have to use his daughter to pay off the debt."
Xu Lao Er was beaten black and blue, and now he lay on the ground half-dead.
Upon hearing that the money and gold were gone, the man's face immediately darkened as he left the house.
Seeing that they had stopped attacking, Xu Lao Er, who was lying on the ground, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next second, these people started punching and kicking Xu Lao Er again.
After Xu Cuihua ran to the village chief's house, she told him what had happened.
There are so many people in their village, while the other side only has a few. Even if the other side has weapons, Xu Cuihua and her group are not afraid.
Seeing that Xu Cuihua was panting heavily, the village chief smiled and asked her what was wrong.
What happened?
Xu Cuihua took a few deep breaths and waited for her breathing to calm down.
"Village chief, there were some really fierce-looking guys who came to my house after leaving Old Chen's! I heard them say they were going to kill my dad!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression immediately changed.
They're going to be selecting advanced production teams soon. Their village might not be selected, but what if they are?
There can't be any other trouble during the event!
The village chief, upon hearing the commotion, immediately organized a group of people to rush to Xu Cuihua's house! A large group of local villagers marched in a grand procession towards Xu Lao Er's house.
On the way, they ran into the man who was looking for Xu Cuihua.
The man didn't see Xu Cuihua at all. Seeing the menacing manner of these people, he chose to take a detour to look for her from afar.
Only after they left did the man dare to walk onto the main road.
The man was initially very puzzled as to what these people were doing, so he cautiously followed behind them.
As a result, they saw all these people heading towards Xu Lao Er's house. The people who were teaching Xu Lao Er a lesson in the yard were caught red-handed by these people.
Even if the villagers don't get along, if an outsider bullies them, they will all unite against the outsider.
This is why outsiders who go to Shankaka can't get out!
Originally, Xu Lao Er was cursing his daughter to death in his heart, but when he saw his daughter call a bunch of neighbors over, he was immediately delighted.
Xu Cuihua was smart! Knowing that staying at home might mean certain death for both of them, she ran off to get help.
Soon, a group of people started arguing about why these people had beaten Xu Lao Er.
The villagers felt that the other party shouldn't have attacked him, while the other party felt that Xu Lao Er had stolen his things and deserved to be beaten.
Finally, someone reached out and pushed, and a fight broke out.
These few people were no match for the villagers.
Those secretly observing from outside became anxious when they saw their brother being beaten.
But he knew that if he went out, he would only get beaten up like his brothers!
So, the man quietly ran away!
He ran to call the police, and when the police arrived, these people had already been beaten half to death, just like Xu Lao Er.
This incident was so egregious that most of the villagers were arrested, including those who had come to the village.
Xu Cuihua didn't participate or lift a finger; she simply asked her some questions before taking the others away.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but all the other villagers have been released, while Xu Lao Er has not yet been released.
Xu Cuihua heard from other villagers that it seemed those people accused Xu Lao Er of stealing money, and the police are currently investigating the case.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Cuihua forced a worried expression, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
Xu Lao Er was sent to jail, but Xu Cuihua knew he would be released in two years because those people's money was of dubious origin and they couldn't prove that their money was legitimate income.
Xu Cuihua was initially worried about killing these people, and thought that after marrying into the Chen family, she would endure it for a year.
But now...
