Chapter 258: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters Produce Unruly People
Zhang Chaoyang was in a mess.
He had never been so embarrassed before.
He had a gloomy face and looked with cold eyes at the women across from him who were throwing stones at him.
Bang!
One of the stones hit his forehead hard, causing him to frown in pain.
Zhang Chaoyang could no longer bear it and shouted:
"If anyone dares to do this again, I'll take him to jail. Stop it!"
This loud shout finally calmed down the people who had lost control.
When everyone saw their masterpiece, they stepped back guiltily.
"Catch it!"
Lin Mo walked out from behind the crowd.
She looked at Zhang Chaoyang with cold eyes, "Even if we have fallen to the bottom now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Are you sure we will let you bully us and we can't resist?
How dare we allow these people to treat us like commodities? Well, this Black Peak Town really impressed us."
Mrs. Zhang, who was standing by, touched the blood on her forehead and looked up angrily:
“What bullshit are you talking about?
It's your blessing to be chosen by us, otherwise, when you get to that damn place called Mocheng, you will just be crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one will answer you!
Humph, if you follow us, you will enjoy happiness, a blessing that others can't even imagine!"
However, when Mrs. Zhang saw Lin Mo's appearance and figure clearly, her eyes lit up:
"This one is good. Her breasts and butt are big enough. She must be good at giving birth. Take this one, my good nephew. Your aunt's family wants this woman."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Chaoyang with a happy face, and finally picked a suitable one.
Lin Mo was so angry that he laughed.
Are you interested in her?
So is she going to set off firecrackers to celebrate?
Seeing Lin Mo smile, Mrs. Zhang became even more proud.
"I'm telling you, if you come home with me, give me a big fat grandson, and take care of the housework, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you two sweet potatoes a day. How about that? I'm a generous mother-in-law, right?
Other families just give their daughters-in-law a sweet potato, as long as they don’t starve to death.”
Zhang Chaoyang's face darkened.
Mrs. Zhang is such an idiot. This matter has already aroused public anger, but she is still talking nonsense here. Does she really think that others have no temper?
Seeing her smug face, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her.
“Ahhhh!”
Mrs. Zhang screamed and fell to the ground.
The other women who were originally ready to make a move were now so frightened that they dared not move!
Zhang Chaoyang's face was gloomy. "Who asked you to come? Who asked you to do this?"
There was a hint of fear on Mrs. Zhang's face.
But before he could speak, Lin Mo spoke coldly:
"You're so skilled at this, it seems like you've done it more than once. Why bother pretending, Mr. Zhang? If you're in cahoots with the rotten crowd, then so be it. Anyway, the emperor is far away and no one can control you, right?"
Haha, it’s so generous of you to give her two sweet potatoes a day to fill her stomach.
Old Wei also came over at this time, his face sullen:
"I will report this matter to my superiors truthfully after returning to Beijing.
Black Peak Town is truly an eye-opener."
Zhang Chaoyang looked very unhappy. He knew that no one would believe what he said.
He walked over and kicked Mrs. Zhang viciously, "Speak!"
Mrs. Zhang howled, not daring to hide anything, and told the whole story directly.
It turned out that because their area was poor, many men could not find wives.
Later, when a group of exiles passed by here, a woman escaped and was rescued by them. She became the wife of one of them.
Then the people here set their sights on these exiled young women.
They bribed the police and local officers and soldiers.
They only needed to watch in secret, and if they saw someone they liked, they would secretly note down their appearance and then tell the local officers and soldiers. After they paid the money, someone would naturally send the person to them.
Because the money required is very little, business has always been good.
This time they were observing in secret.
Who would have thought that Zhang Chaoyang would actually hire someone to search these girls.
They couldn't hold back and ran out directly, wanting to check the goods in person. After all, choosing from a distance is naturally not as good as choosing in person.
They all want a woman who can give birth to a son, but they are also afraid of making the wrong choice and finding a woman who is infertile.
Zhang Chaoyang walked up to one of the officers with a stern face and kicked him hard.
The person who was kicked lay on the ground and screamed:
"My lord, my lord, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
"Woo woo, sir, please spare my life!"
Zhang Chaoyang said expressionlessly, "I have no right to punish you, but I will send you to the city for the adults to judge."
After saying that, he ordered someone to tie the man up and gag him.
Then Zhang Chaoyang looked at Mrs. Zhang and the others indifferently, "I'm here for you to search me and find my belongings, not for you to choose a wife.
If you have these messy thoughts again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Mo and the others with cold eyes:
"Don't tell me those nonsense. Those who haven't been searched yet, continue to search them."
Xu Xianyu and others standing by were extremely angry when they saw that he wanted to continue searching them.
"Sister-in-law, this person is too much." Xu Xianyu frowned. It was the first time she hated someone so much.
"This is my duty." Lin Mo glanced at him and said:
"Now that he's here, those old women won't dare to act so recklessly anymore. Don't be angry."
"But I can't swallow this." Xu Xianyu shook his head, frowning.
"The people here are so abominable. They treat us like commodities."
"Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people." Lin Mo shook his head, "They will get their comeuppance sooner or later."
When Lin Mo looked at those old women, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Take a fancy to her?
Good vision.
But I offended someone I shouldn't have offended.
Xu Xianyu was silent.
After a while, he looked up and said, "Sister-in-law, why is this world so unfair?
Should women be picked and chosen like goods?
We women have no choice in our lives and have to obey our family's arrangements.
If it’s good, they will respect each other for the rest of their lives. If it’s bad, they will suffer until the day they die.
This kind of life is really scary.”
Xu Xianyu's words quieted down everyone around him.
All the women lowered their heads, with a hint of sadness in their eyes.
Lin Mo didn't know what to say. She reached out and patted Xu Xianyu's shoulder:
"In our family, no one will force you to do anything, just follow your heart!
Some things may be impossible to change, but you can try your best to fight for them. If you can't get them, you can only face it calmly. At least you tried your best and have no regrets.
"I know that my sister-in-law and brother won't force me to do anything. I just suddenly felt something. Sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart." Xu Xianyu looked into the distance with deep eyes.
She didn't know what she wanted to do or what she could do, but she wanted to do something.
She was very confused.
She wanted the women here to be treated as human beings rather than commodities, but she didn't know how to do it.
Xu Xianyu looked at Lin Mo hesitantly, then turned his head away.
Forget it, I won’t bother my sister-in-law by talking about these things. She and my elder brother have a lot to do now.
She was very fortunate to be born in the Xu family and to have the best brother and sister-in-law in the world.
She can choose what she wants to do.
"Sister, why do you think so much?" Xu Mengxian reached out and hugged her arm:
“Be happy.
Don't you want to beat up that old woman? When they leave later, we can sneak up on them and give them a good beating."
snort!
She bullied my sister and even had her eyes on her sister-in-law and wanted to snatch her from her brother. This is unforgivable.
"Don't cause trouble. Don't cause trouble for my brother and sister-in-law." Xu Xianyu shook his head!
"I know, sis, don't worry!"
Xu Mengxian nodded, but her heart became active. It was impossible not to take revenge!
In just a short while, these old women had searched all the women.
Zhang Chaoyang asked them carefully and let them leave after confirming that nothing was found.
People like Zhang Pozi, who had been pardoned, immediately ran away when they heard that they could leave.
I’m afraid that if I run a little late, I’ll be held accountable.
After all, this group of people are not easy to mess with!
Xu Mengxian had been staring at these old women. As soon as she saw them leave, she called Xu Qing without saying a word and quietly followed them.
Not long after going up, Mrs. Zhang separated from the others.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had separated from the others, Xu Mengxian was about to chase after her.
"Second Miss!" Xu Qing stopped her, his eyes showing disapproval:
"If you want to deal with her, I'll go. I'll take you back first, and then come over to deal with her, okay?"
Xu Mengxian shook her head disapprovingly. "No need to go through so much trouble. I can just rush over and beat him up right now."
After saying that, she looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she immediately picked up a stick from the ground as a weapon and chased after him.
Xu Qing could only chase after him helplessly.
She is a lady and he can only listen to her.
Xu Mengxian quietly caught up with Mrs. Zhang and hit her with a wooden stick.
“Ahhhh!”
Mrs. Zhang screamed and fainted before she could see who hit her.
Seeing that she was fainted, Xu Mengxian sneered, raised the wooden stick and hit her a few times, then threw the stick away:
“Humph, old woman, I’ll let you bully my sister.
You dare to bully my sister, and you even want to take advantage of my sister-in-law, you deserve a beating!"
"Xu Qing, let's go!"
