Chapter 84: Cruel and ruthless Liu Degui!
The village chief waved his hand in objection. "Although your mother-in-law fainted, her injuries weren't serious. Liu Da and Liu Er, on the other hand, have new injuries before their old ones have healed. If they don't seek medical treatment properly and develop chronic illnesses, they won't be able to work in the future."
Liu Da also cursed loudly, "You stupid woman, do you want to kill me and marry a wild man? Get out of here right now!"
He wanted to punch his wife a few more times, but he gave up because it hurt too much.
As for Liu Er's wife, she was too timid to say a word.
Seeing this, Liu Degui said to Liu's eldest and second wives, "Don't worry, we're all from the same clan, and we won't let anything happen to them. Just stay home and take good care of the children. But I'll cover the medical expenses this time, and you have to pay me back when the grain is harvested in the autumn."
Liu Da's wife and Liu Er's wife quickly responded and sent them out of the village.
As a result, when the sun set, Liu Degui and the villagers came back pulling a cart, but there was no sign of Liu Pozi and Liu Da and Liu Er.
Liu Da's wife was worried and kept asking.
Liu Degui explained clearly, "We sent them to the clinic, and the doctor treated them. Your mother-in-law is very ill, and Liu Da and Liu Er have their hands and feet splinted, making it difficult for them to move. So, they are staying at the clinic. We can just go and pick them up the day after tomorrow."
Liu's wife was relieved and took her sister-in-law and children home.
Two days passed in a flash, and everyone pulled the cart into the city again, but there was no sign of Liu Pozi, her mother and her son in the clinic.
Liu's eldest and second daughters-in-law were both panicked and made a scene at the clinic, asking about his whereabouts.
The clinic was not to be bullied. The young man held his waist and cursed even louder.
"Those three people said our place was too expensive, so they left to find a cheaper place and never came back! We were even trying to settle the bill with them, but they didn't pay a penny for the consultation and medicine!"
Liu Degui had no choice but to help pay the money and take people around the city to look for the person.
However, they searched everywhere they could, including the casino, but there was no trace of Liu Pozi and the other two!
Liu's eldest daughter-in-law and Liu's second daughter-in-law cried so hard that they almost rolled on the street.
Needless to say, the idle people in the city watched another good show for free.
"What's going on lately? Life's been so turbulent. I lost my child before, but luckily I found him. Now, how come a living person is missing too?"
"That's right, that's right! Let's go to the temple to worship some other day, don't do anything wrong!"
After searching for two days, Liu Degui even asked someone to help him report to the government office.
The police also helped to shout in the city several times, but in the end they got nothing.
But Liu Pozi, her mother and her two children seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew where they were.
Liu Degui had no choice but to bring Liu Da's wife and Liu Er's wife back to the village.
Liu Da's wife and Liu Er's wife were unwilling to accept this, but they had crying children at home, and they couldn't just leave their children at the neighbor's house forever!
When they returned to the village, although the clan members usually disliked their family, their sympathy prevailed at this time and they all brought half a bowl of sorghum rice to comfort them.
"Liu Da and Liu Er are capable. Perhaps they met some friends who were doing business in the south."
"Yeah, maybe he met a good person, so he went out to eat and drink and recuperate. He will be back in a few days."
Not to mention Liu Da's wife and Liu Er's wife, even the children wouldn't believe this.
Liu Da's wife cried and begged everyone, "Uncles and brothers, please help us go back into the city to look for him."
Unfortunately, everyone refused and was unwilling to contribute.
Liu Da's wife found Liu Degui again, but Liu Degui was discussing the repair of the ancestral hall with the villagers.
The reason is simple. Things have been bad in the village recently. Perhaps the ancestors are angry and don't want to bless their descendants.
This was a big deal, and every household dropped their work and started running around, doing it themselves.
So, bricks and tiles were quickly purchased and construction began immediately.
Once everyone gets busy, no one cares about those three people who “don’t go home” anymore!
Liu's eldest daughter-in-law and Liu's second daughter-in-law also wanted to go to Tai's house to ask their sister-in-law for help.
But when they thought about the Tai family's brutal attack in the middle of the night and the signed letter of severance, they were also afraid...
Five or six days passed like this, and the group of merchants heading south had already traveled more than three hundred miles.
At dusk, the convoy arrived at a small pier by the river. Two carriages separated from the team and stopped.
At the dock, a shabby passenger ship that had been waiting for three or four days quickly approached, and five or six men helped carry a lot of boxes and baskets from the carriage onto the ship.
When the people in the carriage wanted to say a few more words, a group of people suddenly came over, scaring both sides so much that they dispersed immediately.
The broken passenger ship immediately set sail towards the south, and it took a day and a night to finally stop and rest.
No one knew that in the large wicker basket at the bottom of the cabin, Liu Pozi, Liu Da and Liu Er were already dying.
They spent all their brains but still couldn't figure it out.
The village chief had clearly agreed with them that they could avoid paying the medical fee by finding an excuse to leave the clinic.
Liu Da also planned to take the medical fee to the gambling house to try his luck, just in case he could turn his life around.
As a result, they came out of the back door of the clinic and were sent to a carriage by the patriarch. What greeted them was a handkerchief with a pungent smell, followed by endless darkness.
When they woke up, they were tied up and lying in a large wicker basket.
I couldn’t stretch my legs or speak, and most importantly, I had no food to eat or water to drink!
They waited day after day, thinking over everything over and over again.
