Mo Yuan snorted coldly upon hearing this, realizing it was a blatant attempt to cover up the truth.
They didn't come earlier or later, but just happened to arrive at this crucial moment. Seeing the three people opposite them trying to hide their identities, it seemed they didn't want to show their true faces.
Holding daggers, axes, and other weapons, Mo Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed the other side didn't take the three of them seriously at all.
Only three people came. They're not treating them like human beings! That's alright, though. If there were more people, Mo Yuan would have had to run.
"Dogs, you two hide in the back, I can handle this!"
This statement was not only hard for Gouzi and Hongxia to believe, but also for the three people on the other side.
He couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.
"Oh, look what you've got today! You've got money but no life, huh? You don't want our kindness, so don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Hahaha!"
Hongxia tugged at Mo Yuan's sleeve, indicating that they should run if things got too bad. They were only a few miles from the village; once they got out of there, the other side wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
At worst, we can just give up the stuff.
Mo Yuan had no such idea; these things would be needed later, and they couldn't be wasted.
Besides, with only three people, it's a good opportunity to try stretching and loosen up! If it's really too much, we can always run!
The fighting skills I learned in my previous life should be enough to deal with these three people.
"Kid, think it through. Do you want your money or your life? I'm telling you..."
"Snap!"
"Ouch!"
Mo Yuan wasn't going to waste words with the other party. With Gouzi and his second sister behind him, he didn't dare to take the risk.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was threatening him with a dagger, he moved in with lightning speed.
He swiftly grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it, and the dagger fell to the ground. The leader's right arm immediately went limp.
He was kicked away by Mo Yuan and lost his fighting ability!
No one expected Mo Yuan to act so quickly and ruthlessly.
For a moment, apart from the man's agonizing screams, there was an eerie silence.
Wasn't he just a petty thug who knew nothing? How did what should have been a straightforward robbery turn into this?
The other two robbers looked at each other, caught in a dilemma. Judging from Mo Yuan's clean and efficient manner, he seemed to be a trained fighter.
What to do?!
"Hey, what are you two standing there for? Go for it! Two against one, what are you afraid of? We have the advantage! Don't hold back, cripple him!"
The leader who had fallen to the ground still believed that Mo Yuan had ambushed him and succeeded because he was on guard. He thought that as long as the other two were prepared, they could also take down the other party!
After all, Mo Yuan was empty-handed, while they had weapons!
The other two exchanged a glance, as if encouraging each other, and then made up their minds.
It lunged fiercely at Mo Yuan!
Things took an unexpected turn; before long, the other two robbers were also beaten to the ground by Mo Yuan.
This surprised not only the three people lying on the ground, but also the second sister and Gouzi.
I'd only ever heard that Mo Yuan was mischievous and often got into fights, but those were just minor squabbles.
Nobody told them that Mo Yuan was such a good fighter!
Mo Yuan also turned around and looked at the two of them triumphantly, indicating that they were alright and reassuring them, as his second sister had been quite frightened just now.
Just then, the three people on the ground, seeing that something was wrong, ignored their pain and scrambled into the grove of trees, fleeing for their lives.
Mo Yuan had originally planned to take the three men to the county and hand them over to Li Jianguo, hoping to get some information out of them. He believed that someone must be behind them.
However, given the current situation, we dare not rashly pursue them into the grove. To be on the safe side, we had no choice but to give up.
Catch up with my still-frightened second sister and the dog and hurry on our way.
The remaining distance wasn't far to begin with, and the three of them pulled the cart all the way home in one go.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a close call, I was still quite frightened.
Gouzi explained the situation to everyone, and they were all extremely worried. Mo Youshan immediately deduced that it was probably Mo Yougan who was behind it.
The person has run away and there's no evidence, but I still told Mo Yuan to be more careful in the future!
Mo Yuan certainly didn't dare to be careless, and he secretly made up his mind that he wouldn't have time to deal with them these next few days; he would focus on marrying Lin Xue first.
Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease. He had originally planned to have Lin Xue move in with his second sister after the others who knew the situation left.
However, Lin Xue, fearing gossip, insisted on continuing to live at the educated youth settlement. Mo Youshan and Yu Xiu'e were also old-fashioned people.
In rural areas, there are indeed rules about not moving in before the bride has married into the family; otherwise, people will laugh at you!
In the end, a compromise had to be reached: the second sister could move in to keep Lin Xue company, but given the current situation...
It's obvious they've resorted to underhanded tactics, and Mo Yuan is afraid something bad will happen!
So it would be best to get married as soon as possible and have Lin Xue move in!
Mo Yuan changed his mind because of this. He had originally planned to build a new house and get married there.
For now, let's just leave it at that. Let Lin Xue have to make do with this mud-brick house for now!
He specially invited Lin Xue to his home, and in front of everyone, Mo Yuan took out a huge sum of one thousand yuan from his pocket!
When it was placed on the table, everyone was dumbfounded!
A thousand dollars is just a legendary concept; who has ever seen that much cash?
Mo Youshan couldn't help but mutter, "How could their family possibly come up with so much money?"
Yu Xiu'e interjected, "Why do you care about them? They're already well-off. Their second son works at the police station and can help them, and their son-in-law is an official at the oil mill. They can scrape together what they need. Unlike our family! We're poor, all our relatives are poor, and we can't even borrow from anywhere!"
However, the discussion about how Mo Yougan's family became so wealthy did not last long.
Soon everyone's attention was focused on the table.
Mo Yuan timely offered his own ideas.
"Lin Xue, we have enough money now. Tomorrow I'll have my older brother and Gouzi accompany me to the county town. You can come along too, and we can see if we're still missing anything! You know what happened on the way. It's not safe for you and your second sister, two girls, to be alone at the educated youth settlement right now! We should get married as soon as possible, and you can move in with us!"
Yu Xiu'e, who was standing to the side, was also anxious about her youngest son's marriage. She never expected that their family's situation would change so much in such a short time!
They were so worried about not being able to borrow money that they had nowhere to borrow from, but now they've become nouveau riche!
Even after the wedding, there's still a lot of money left!
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's set a date quickly, so we can feel at ease knowing you've moved in!"
Lin Xue never imagined that one day she would be the one discussing her own life's most important matter.
I thought it would take a year or two, after all, in the countryside, the "three turns and one sound" (a set of watches, a watch, a radio, and a speaker) are not something you can easily acquire.
I didn't expect Mo Yuan to be so amazing.
But the thought of getting married still made her blush, though Mo Yuan's worries weren't unfounded.
"Uncle, Aunt, I'll do whatever you say! You can decide the date!"
