Old He glared at the person who spoke with a gloomy face, then glanced at the Cheng family courtyard and secretly told his brothers to get ready.
Once his second and fourth sons climb over the wall and snatch a burden, he'll see if this woman still dares to be so stubborn!
Ye Wenxue sensed the subtle atmosphere and immediately told Dazhuang to grab the kitchen knife from the house, being careful on guard.
The next instant, several screams and wails suddenly came from the Cheng family's courtyard.
He Lao Er and He Lao Si rushed out in a panic, their legs trembling. They hid in the crowd, not daring to look at Ye Wenxue, and stammered:
"Big...Big Brother, she's really capable of killing! We don't want it anymore, we don't want the money...we don't want the money! Run!"
Old He subconsciously recalled the four villagers he had watched climb up to the Cheng family's house.
He thought that these people had some conscience and left without killing him because they were from the same village.
Now it seems...
Old He's thigh trembled, and he forced himself to take a step back, maintaining his composure.
"Hehe, Widow Cheng, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Looking back, everyone behind me had vanished.
Old He cursed and ran away.
Ye Wenxue was afraid they had other tricks up their sleeves, so she didn't dare to chase after them.
She grabbed a nearby stone used for building walls and smashed it down hard, hitting Boss He's leg squarely.
"Caw caw caw caw!"
The goose's gloating calls drowned out Old He's miserable howls.
Ye Wenxue watched coldly as Boss He dragged his broken leg, howling as he crawled back.
She turned around, looked at the children who were staring blankly, and said softly:
"Have you moved everything?"
Dazhuang nodded blankly: "Everything we can take is here, Mom. Where are we going?"
They had never left Shanqing Village, and they didn't know where they could find refuge after leaving the village.
Ye Wenxue pointed to the towering mountains hidden in the clouds a dozen miles away: "Go there."
The four children sat in a row on the cart, looking over blankly.
Ye Wenxue smiled and said, "Hold on tight."
Amidst the swaying figures of the four children, Ye Wenxue, carrying Xiao Yuanyuan on her back, pushed the cart with all her might.
Dazhuang snapped out of his daze, quickly jumped off the slow-moving cart, and went to the side to help Ye Wenxue push it.
The three children, no more than five or six years old, followed suit and walked alongside the cart on both sides, unwilling to add to the burden on the two men.
As the sun slowly rose, Ye Wenxue led her five children away from Shanqing Village amidst the honking of geese.
The village headman hid in the corner of the wall at the village entrance, watching the direction they were pushing the cart, his cloudy eyes slightly brightening.
