Li Ergou's younger brother, Li Sangou, gleamed with wicked intent, rubbing his hands together as he greedily stared at Mo Qingcheng.
"Hehe, not bad figure. Er Gou, you coward, tsk tsk, what a pity." Li Da Gou glared at his brother, thinking him spineless.
The two brothers beside him, one with a slanted eye and a crooked mouth, and the other with a limp, were the cousins of the three Li brothers, one named Li Dahu and the other Li Erhu.
The five men colluded and committed numerous evils. Liu Changming, the village chief of Bishui Village, racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good way to punish the wicked and promote the good.
His wife and daughter at home are frail and sickly. If he were to anger these thugs, his daughter might be violated, which would be a huge loss...
The attention of Li Erdan and his group of five attracted the attention of Mo Qingcheng and Xuan Yuan Yichen, so they had to give up for the time being.
Xuan Yuan Yi Chen's face was icy cold: "Be careful, don't get separated from others."
"Thank you so much, my little man." Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated. Had she been raised by the little villain as a helpless stepmother?
Xuan Yuan Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth, his face expressionless, and stood guard beside the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the five little ones huddled together, staring intently at the belongings on the carriage. The journey was long and arduous, and they wondered how many people would freeze or starve to death.
Li Changgeng, the village head of Nanping Village, Liu Changming, the village head of Bishui Village, and Sun Yunhui, the village head of Yanfeng Village, met and, for reasons unknown, had a few words exchanged.
Li Changgeng's face was grim, and he felt extremely aggrieved. Nanping Village had the fewest people, so he was looked down upon and was responsible for clearing the way ahead.
Sun Yunhui's expression also turned somewhat grim. Yanfeng Village was at the rear. Nanping Village, positioned in the middle, was the safest.
When Village Chief Li told the villagers the news, it immediately caused an uproar.
“What, village chief, are you kidding me? Half of Nanping Village is made up of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. What if they encounter danger?” Widow Li was the first to jump out and object.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Am I, an old widow, going to my death?
"Yes, village chief, let's go find the village chief of Biyue Village. We can't let them bully people like this!"
"Village chief, they're bullying us too much! We won't stand for it!"
"..."
Liu Cuihua was so anxious that tears streamed down her face: "You, you won't agree, then go find it yourselves! If you're so capable, then show us what you're capable of. Isn't it shameful to yell at my husband like this?"
"Young lady, what are you saying? Your husband is the village chief. If you need anything, who else can you turn to if not him?" Widow Li curled her lip, her eyes full of disdain.
Gou Sheng's wife's eyes darted around, an idea forming in her mind. Her gaze flickered, avoiding Liu Cuihua's eyes: "Sister-in-law, this is wrong of you. You interfere as soon as something happens, you wouldn't..."
"Gou Sheng's wife, if you dare to gossip again, believe me, I'll slap you right now!" Liu Cuihua was so angry she almost vomited blood. She rushed forward, wanting to fight Gou Sheng's wife.
"shut up!"
The village chief, Li Changgeng, roared angrily, and the noise stopped abruptly.
"Whoever wants to come can go, and those who don't can figure it out themselves. Nobody knows if they'll be able to come back next spring. I've served as village chief for the most time now. Let's go! Let's go now!" Li Changgeng glared at his wife and told his three sons to help their mother and grandson onto the carriage.
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow and urged Shangguan Yichen to hurry up and follow.
Liu Cuihua turned around and looked at Mo Qingcheng gratefully: "Madam Mo, thank you!"
"What did my sister-in-law say? I don't understand..."
