"They took it all away, and now there's no food left at home."
Han Luoxue shrugged. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that she couldn't do anything about it.
Li, however, did not believe it. She continued to kowtow, saying to her daughter:
"Luhua, talk to your second sister properly, she will definitely help you."
Han Mingyuan was already quite popular in the village, and the commotion quickly attracted attention, drawing a large crowd in no time. Han Qiang also rushed over.
He approached Han Luoxue and whispered, "What happened?"
"Luhua has run back."
"Oh, you've come back?"
Everyone in the village knew about Luhua's affair, but no one bothered to interfere. Being sold by one's own family member was no easy thing for anyone.
"Grandpa Village Head, please save me."
Seeing the village head coming over, Lu Hua shifted her gaze to him.
"What can I do? It's not like I sold the child."
Han Qiang isn't stupid; his family doesn't even have fifty jin of grain, so he can't help them.
"But if he takes me back, I'll die."
Luhua began to sob, and everyone who heard it was heartbroken.
"Grandma Han, you should handle your own family matters."
Han Qiang went directly to Old Lady Han, who glared at him with her triangular eyes and said coldly:
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; I'll send her back right now."
"Hehe, you little brat, you ran fast! I knew you must have run home."
Before Old Lady Han could even make a move, a burly man came running over with a powerful stride, accompanied by an angry snort.
His gaze immediately fell on his woman.
Upon approaching, his fierce gaze swept over the people around him, and then...
Stunned...
His gaze fell directly on Han Luoxue. My God, how could there be such a beautiful girl in this poor mountain village?
This is so beautiful!
Her long, black hair was soft and silky; her small, oval face was smaller than the palm of a hand; she had willow-leaf eyebrows, large, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy lips that made you want to kiss her.
The key point is that the moment he saw this girl, he felt that she was his woman.
Butcher Liu stared intently at Han Luoxue, his eyes fixed on her. Yunniang stepped forward unhappily, blocking Han Luoxue's path.
The young beauty was blocked by someone, and Butcher Liu was a little angry, but when he saw the woman in front of him, he realized that she was another beauty.
She was only in her twenties or thirties, somewhat similar to the young beauty from before, with a beauty that combined with a mature charm, making her even more alluring.
"How much grain do you two want? I'll take it all."
Butcher Liu's mouth was watering; he wished he could drag the two of them back right now and pamper them properly.
Seeing that Butcher Liu was trying to buy people in front of so many people, Han Qiang hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Yunniang and Han Luoxue, and said coldly:
"They won't sell."
"Two hundred catties of grain, this is from my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, it's all for you."
Grandma Han spoke almost simultaneously, along with Han Qiang.
Han Qiang's brows furrowed and veins throbbed as he looked angrily in the direction of Old Lady Han:
"Daughter-in-law? Granddaughter? You've already separated from the family, how dare you still say she's yours?"
"Hmph, I don't care whether the family has split up or not, this is still the Han family's property, and I'm in charge of what I say."
After she finished speaking, she ran a few steps to Butcher Liu's side, smiling obsequiously:
"Two hundred pounds, do you want it?"
"Yes, yes."
Butcher Liu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his chubby face beaming so wide that his eyes were almost invisible.
"Come back with me to get the grain later, and these two beauties will be mine."
As he spoke, he tried to step forward to attack, but Han Qiang and the men from the village who were watching the commotion rushed forward to stop him. However, Liu the butcher was originally a pig slaughterer and was extremely strong. At this moment, even five or six men were no match for him.
"roll!"
Just as everyone was fighting and in the midst of the melee, a sharp voice rang out, and Han Laoba and Han Yuchen ran over with sticks. With a "smack," the sticks struck Liu the butcher's leg, causing him to cry out in pain.
"roll."
Han Yuchen stepped forward and kicked him a few times. Liu the butcher tried to retaliate, but found that his legs were powerless. He knew he had encountered a martial arts expert, so he quickly got up and ran. However, after running a few dozen meters, he turned back and shouted loudly:
"Both of these beauties are mine now. Remember to come back and exchange them for grain."
Everyone's cold gazes fell on Old Lady Han. She shrank back slightly, but stubbornly said:
“My daughter-in-law and granddaughter are my decision-makers.”
"Xue'er".
Han Mingyuan was helped out by Doctor Xu. Seeing that his wife and daughter were unharmed, he said coldly:
"I thought that once the two families separated, they would live their own lives and have nothing to do with each other. It seems I was wrong."
He walked slowly, leaning on his cane, but the villagers were already astonished to see him walk like that. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before Han Mingyuan would be able to stand up again.
"Since we can't stay peacefully in this village, let's go stay in the town. I just told Doctor Xu that his yard is vacant, so let's stay at his place for now."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.
Han Mingyuan's family wants to leave the village? That won't do.
Xueyatou has food; they can trade her unwanted items, and the whole family won't starve. The sweet potato vines she gave us are growing very well; it's estimated that in less than two months, the sweet potatoes will be harvested, and everyone will have even more food to eat.
And if you help her with some chores occasionally, you can get a full meal. People from other villages are extremely envious of this.
If Han Mingyuan's family were no longer in the village, wouldn't they continue to starve?
“Mingyuan, Hutouya Village is where you grew up. It’s your root.”
Han Qiang would definitely not agree, so he went over and grabbed Han Mingyuan's hand:
“The Han family is going too far. We can’t keep people like them in our Hutouya Village. I suggest we kick them out of the village.”
"agree!"
"I agree!"
...
Everyone in the crowd agreed, but not a single person spoke up for their family.
Grandma Han turned pale with fright. She opened her mouth, trembling, wanting to question everyone, but then everything went black and she fainted.
Several daughters-in-law hurriedly helped her home, and Luhua followed them back. As she passed Han Luoxue, she suddenly smiled weakly:
"Second sister, Luhua is very happy. Before long, you will be just like Luhua."
After saying that, she ran a few steps and followed closely behind Li.
Han Qiang heard what Lu Hua said clearly, and he was so angry that he wished he could kill the Han family right now.
No, he needs to have a meeting with the team leaders right now. They can't let Han Mingyuan's family leave. Their village's future depends on Xue Yatou.
Han Yuchen's gaze was cold, and he hadn't come to his senses even after Liu the Butcher was long out of sight.
Uncle Han tugged at his clothes, and Han Yuchen finally came to his senses. He pointed in the direction where Grandma Han and the others had left.
Han Yuchen nodded. This old lady really couldn't stay still for a moment. Although Uncle Mingyuan had indeed severed ties with her, but...
