"Liu Ji, you little bastard, don't run! Stop right there!"
Several strong men from the neighboring village chased after Liu Ji, who was jumping up and down like a monkey, cursing as they ran:
"It is only natural to pay back a debt. If you don't pay back the money you borrowed, I will beat you to death!"
"Liu Laosan, pay me back the money you borrowed from me! Otherwise, we will smash your house... No, we will beat you to death to pay off the debt, you bastard who swindled people into lending us money!"
As if realizing that there was nothing left to destroy in the Liu family's dilapidated house, the village man quickly changed his words and threatened to beat Liu Ji to death.
Liu Ji saw that he was at a disadvantage and ran faster than a rabbit.
The man was wearing a gray gown full of patches. He was tall and had long hair tied up with a straw rope. He ran in a mess and his shoes fell off in his panic.
But when he turned around, he saw a pair of sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose and diamond lips. Although his skin was a little darker and his expression was a little embarrassed, he had the carefree and unrestrained style of a playboy.
What a great appearance!
Several village women who were watching immediately lowered their eyes and hurriedly avoided looking away, not daring to look any further, for fear that their accelerated heartbeats would be noticed.
Under normal circumstances, seeing this scene, Liu Ji would definitely tease her a few times, but at this moment, his heart was filled with only one cry - God wants to kill me!
After losing their shoes, their speed slowed down and the villagers scattered in all directions to avoid getting burned.
Liu Ji couldn't hide or run away. Seeing an axe about to chop him down, his eyes were filled with despair when a hand suddenly shoved in front of him.
"Stop it!"
Qin Yao roared, and with her seemingly fragile hand, she grasped the handle of the knife that was about to be chopped off.
Lin Erbao was shocked. Where did this village woman come from and how dare she intercept his knife?
I pressed down harder, and to my horror, it didn't move at all.
Qin Yao used a little strength and threw him out with the knife!
Lin Erbao took four or five steps back and bumped into several fellow villagers who were following him, so the chase was forced to stop.
"Who are you? We are looking for Liu Laosan to collect the debt he owes us. What does it have to do with you!" Lin Erbao suppressed his surprise and asked angrily.
Liu Ji finally saw the person in front of him clearly, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't have time to think about how a woman like her could take down Lin Erbao's knife. He found a life-saving straw and immediately hid behind Qin Yao and cried out:
"Madam, help me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap landed directly on Liu Ji's handsome face.
For a moment, the wind was still and the people were still.
Not only Liu Ji was in disbelief, even Lin Erbao and others who came to collect debts looked confused.
Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji's astonished face. He was indeed very good-looking. No wonder the original owner did not find out anything at the time and followed him home.
Who would have thought that beneath such a good appearance, there is actually a bunch of rotten maggots?
Looking at Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang who were lying on the ground with no one to help them up, and the twin brother and sister who were crying so hard that snot bubbles were flying, Qin Yao felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Looking at Liu Ji again, who did not show any signs of malnutrition but instead looked strong, she thought of his selfish face, who only cared about his own happiness and left Yao Niang to starve to death. Her eyes darkened and she suddenly felt that it would be better for this man to be beaten to death by the debt collectors.
So, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Qin Yao grabbed Liu Ji, who was covering his face in a daze, pulled him in front of her, and kicked him out!
"Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Go ask whoever owes you for it!"
Liu Ji, who had been chasing for a long time, was kicked out by his wife and fell right in front of him. Although Lin Erbao didn't know what the woman was up to, he saw the opportunity as not to be missed. He immediately called a few brothers and held down the shocked Liu Ji.
Qin Yao looked around and saw a roll of straw rope hanging under the eaves. She walked over to take it down and threw it to Lin Erbao.
"Tied his hands and feet, so he wouldn't run away. He's your creditor."
"Wife?!"
Liu Ji panicked, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness. "My lady, what are you doing? I am your husband. We just had a matchmaking ceremony in front of the government office. We are husband and wife!"
Liu Ji's voice became increasingly sharp, because he realized that after he had said so much, Qin Yao didn't even glance at him. Instead, she instructed Lin Erbao and the others on how to tie the rope tighter, so that he would be tied up like a dumpling and unable to move.
Liu Ji was so angry that he was about to start cursing, but a piece of rag appeared in Qin Yao's hand. She reached out and quickly, accurately and ruthlessly blocked his mouth.
“Woo woo woo!”
Liu Ji struggled violently, his eyes widened, Qin Yao, you vicious woman, you murdered your own husband!
Although Lin Erbao was a little confused, he still kicked Liu Ji twice, "Shut up! Why are you howling? You're like a pig being slaughtered!"
Qin Yao clapped her hands, took two steps back, looked at Lin Erbao, and said very seriously:
"Take him away, don't treat him carelessly, and don't beat him up. You've seen the situation in my family, and we can't afford to support him..."
"So, please just kill me."
Qin Yao said the latter part of this sentence in a calm tone, as if it might rain tomorrow, so that when Lin Erbao heard it, he subconsciously nodded.
But halfway through nodding, he suddenly came to his senses and glared at Qin Yao, "You stinky woman, are you kidding me?"
Qin Yao replied, "Brother, I'm serious. Remember, you must kill me!"
Those almond-shaped eyes looked straight at him. Although her face was the gentlest, her eyes were filled with murderous intent!
Lin Erbao was shocked and subconsciously took two steps back. "You, you really want to use Liu Laosan's life to pay off the debt?"
Qin Yao responded with a "hmm" and didn't look at him again, nor did she look at Liu Ji's eyes that were about to burst.
Liu Ji: “Woo woo woo!!!”
Vicious woman! Qin Yao, you vicious woman! You actually want me to die! I'm going to kill you!
Qin Yao walked straight to Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang, helped the two brothers who had fallen to the ground up, and while checking the children's injuries, she said to the fierce Lin Erbao and others:
"This is my home. Although we are just a few orphans and a widow, I, Qin Yao, am not someone who can be bullied. Liu Ji has been handed over to you. If he makes trouble at my doorstep again and hurts my family, I will risk my life to drag him to see the King of Hell!"
Dalang and Erlang stared in amazement at their stepmother who was carefully checking their injuries. Her movements were gentle, but her eyes revealed a terrifying murderous aura, and they were so frightened that they dared not move.
Lin Erbao frowned deeply. This woman was not someone he was going to mess with. He began to think about backing off and didn't want to get entangled with her.
Liu Dalang and the other man were just weak from being hungry for too long. After falling to the ground, they felt dizzy and couldn't get up. Apart from a few scratches on their arms, there was no major problem.
Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the twins, whose faces were covered with snot, to her side.
Although the woman in front of them had only been in their home for three days, the four children now found that they seemed to have someone they could rely on.
Si Niang took the initiative to hold Qin Yao's hand. Her small hand grasped one of her fingers and she cried out in dependence, "Mother, Si Niang is afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, Mom is here." Qin Yao was a little surprised that she had adapted to her new identity as stepmother so quickly.
When Si Niang heard what A Niang said, she sniffed and nodded her head.
Brave Si Niang, don’t be afraid!
