The village chief was puzzled. "This dog used to bark at me and even try to bite me. Why is it so well-behaved today? Is it sick?"
Ye Qingqing glanced at Wuchen and said with a smile, "Maybe, is this the place?"
The village chief changed the subject from the dog and nodded, "This is the place."
"Wu Minbai..." the village chief called out at the top of his lungs.
Soon a withered and thin old man came out. To Ye Qingqing's surprise, the sons of this family were all tall and strong. She had thought that her father-in-law would also be very robust. She did not expect this.
"The village chief is here! Come in and sit down. And who are these people?"
Grandpa Zhen glanced at Ye Qingqing and Tang Yuanyuan a few times, his gaze so blatant it was disgusting. Tie Dan stood in front of them, snorted heavily, and even brandished his fist. Grandpa Zhen immediately shrank back and dared not look anymore.
"It's that young man's relative who came to redeem Ah Zhen from her servitude. Where is Ah Zhen? Did you beat her again?" The village chief looked around but couldn't see Ah Zhen. Usually at this time, Ah Zhen would be working in the yard. She did most of the housework; the whole family were lazy.
"No... I stopped hitting her a long time ago. She's getting married soon, why would I hit her?" Ah Zhen's father-in-law smiled, revealing his black and yellow teeth, which were disgusting.
"If you didn't hit her, why are you nowhere to be seen? Wu Minbai, I'm warning you, if you really cause a death and affect our village's evaluation for civilized village status, I won't let you off the hook!" The village chief was a little flustered, afraid that something had really happened to Ah Zhen.
The results of the civilized village selection will be released next spring. He wanted to apply for it this time, as it would be a political achievement. If someone dies, the civilized village will definitely not be selected.
"No, I'll go and call her out."
Grandpa Zhen's eyes flickered as he went inside to call for someone. Ye Qingqing winked at Wuchen, who said he wanted to go out and play. As soon as he left the house, he went around to the back.
A burly, strong old woman came down from the second floor. Her face was full of fat and she had a fierce look. As soon as Ye Qingqing saw her, she understood where the son of this family got his burly physique.
This wicked mother-in-law was even stronger than Xu Yuetuan; an ordinary man really couldn't beat her. No wonder she was so domineering in the village that no one dared to mess with her.
Upon seeing Ye Qingqing and the others, the wicked old woman's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything. She went and brewed a few cups of tea, but the tea leaves were old and coarse, and Ye Qingqing didn't even want to look at them. The tea leaves she used to make tea eggs were better than this, and even dogs wouldn't drink them.
Wuchen returned quickly, angrily saying, "They tied up a woman, bound her tightly, and gagged her."
She had just seen it through the window; that old geezer was taking advantage of that woman. He was a real scoundrel. After saying that, Wuchen disappeared. She had to go save him.
"What's going on?" The village chief's expression turned serious.
This is illegal detention, and outsiders have found out. If this gets out, what kind of civilized village will we be able to get?
The wicked mother-in-law said gruffly, "Don't listen to that brat's nonsense! She's not tied up, she's sleeping in bed... You come back here right now! Who let you into my house!"
But Wuchen arrived at the door in the blink of an eye. The wicked old woman was startled and rushed to stop him, but Wuchen was faster and quickly opened the door, revealing the scene inside.
A young woman with disheveled hair was tied to the foot of the bed, her mouth gagged with a towel. Her father-in-law was untying her, but his hands were inappropriate. The young woman struggled but was powerless to stop him.
"You filthy scoundrel, I'll kick you to death!"
Wuchen was furious and stepped forward to kick him. Ye Qingqing didn't have time to stop him, and the rogue eunuch was kicked flat on his back, unable to get up for a long time.
