Chapter 25 She Still
The next morning, the rooster crowed in the yard.
Xu Miaomiao opened her sleepy eyes, but there was no one on the bed opposite her.
Xu Miaomiao understood in her heart. Ever since Song Wushao woke up, she and Riran had divided the work.
He was responsible for making money, so he would stay at home to take care of the children, cook, and read in his spare time. Occasionally, he would go back to help pick cotton.
In short, avoid her if you can, and don't talk to her if you can.
In this way, Xu Miaomiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Song Weiwei and Xu Shan had been gone for seven or eight days.
She searched the village and nearby areas but found no trace of the two people. Song Wushao said that he didn't care, but she still felt uneasy.
After all, Xu Shan moved in because of me. If something really happened, and Song Wushao investigated it later, I wouldn't be able to explain myself.
Xu Miaomiao was wandering on the street while thinking about this and unexpectedly walked into a brothel.
"Oh, it's Madam Xu."
When Mrs. Zhang saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, she hurried forward and greeted her: "Madam Xu, my headache has come back again. You have to take care of me."
After saying that, he pulled Xu Miaomiao and walked into the building.
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly and followed her in.
When going up the stairs, a familiar figure flashed by. Xu Miaomiao was startled, but Mother Zhang held her tightly and would not let go.
"Mother Zhang, is there anyone new in this building?"
Xu Miaomiao asked curiously while giving the woman an injection.
The woman shook her head without thinking too much and said, "I really have a new guy here, and he is very handsome."
"Oh, what's that called?"
"I don't know her name, but she was bought by her husband."
As she spoke, the woman shook her head with regret: "Her husband is not a good man at first glance. It just so happens that you, Madam Xu, have the same last name, Xu Shan."
Xu Miaomiao's hands froze in place as she was performing the acupuncture. She quickly removed the silver needle from the woman's head and asked anxiously, "Where is the young lady who was bought?"
"Oh, what do I think of it?" Mother Zhang waved her hand and said, "My dear, if you want to see it, I'll take you there when she has no customers."
Xu Miaomiao really couldn't hear what was going on now. She held Zhang's mother's hand and said anxiously: "Where is she!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang's mother panicked and pulled Xu Miaomiao out in a hurry: "Oh, it can't be someone my wife knows, then I am really guilty."
Then he took Xu Miaomiao to a room.
Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to react and opened the door.
Song Weiwei's clothes were torn into shreds and thrown aside. She huddled in a corner, trembling all over.
Xu Miaomiao's heart tightened and she quickly took off her outer robe and put it on her.
"Mother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
The man next to her looked at the woman with dissatisfaction, and Mother Zhang was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Xu Miaomiao took out two hundred tael silver notes from her bosom and threw them over: "Mother Zhang, I want to take this man away."
When the woman saw the two silver bills, her eyes immediately lit up and she nodded in response.
“Woo woo woo—”
Song Weiwei hid in Xu Miaomiao's arms and sobbed, so Xu Miaomiao had to hire a carriage to take them back.
In the carriage, Song Weiwei's emotions were fluctuating.
Sometimes he clamored to kill Xu Shan, and sometimes he blamed Xu Miaomiao, thinking it was all Xu Miaomiao's fault.
Xu Miaomiao remained silent and let Song Weiwei vent her anger.
It took a long time for the woman to calm down. Perhaps she was so tired from crying that she fell into a deep sleep.
Song Weiwei had a petite figure, so Xu Miaomiao picked her up easily. Only after she settled the woman in the house did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as she went out, she saw Song Wu Shao staring at her with a gloomy face.
Xu Miaomiao was frightened by this look. She saved his sister, shouldn't Song Wushao be grateful to her? Why did this look seem like he wanted to eat someone?
"Shouldn't we save her?"
Xu Miaomiao was eating dinner when she heard Song Wushao suddenly speak. She was stunned where she was.
"Why?"
Song Wu Shao said as he picked up some food: "She may not be grateful for your kindness, and may even blame you. This is something she sowed, so she should pay for it herself."
Xu Miaomiao remained silent. She really couldn't think of anything to say in response.
There's something so calm about Song Wu Shao that's frightening.
"Oh, the food is good."
Hearing the voice, Xu Miaomiao frowned and looked outside the yard. It was Xu Shan.
Xu Miaomiao was so angry that she couldn't speak. Thinking about what had happened to Song Weiwei, she felt even more disgusted with this man. She picked up a broom and was about to beat him out.
"Alas, I am your brother, how can I be so rebellious!"
Xu Shan quickly took a step back, afraid that it would fall on him.
"Bah, you shameless scoundrel."
Xu Miaomiao retorted without any hesitation.
Xu Shan put his hands in his pockets and said slowly, "You and I are blood relatives, why should we hurt our relationship because of an outsider!"
After saying that, he glanced at Song Wushao with disdain.
Xu Miaomiao's worldview was once again refreshed by this person's shamelessness: "We have severed our relationship a long time ago. Don't appear in my sight again."
"Even if you don't recognize me, you can't ignore Song Weiwei."
The hand holding the broom gripped tighter and tighter. Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but be amazed. This man actually had the nerve to stand up for Song Weiwei. It seemed that he didn't even know that he had already brought Song Weiwei back.
Xu Miaomiao asked, "Where is Weiwei?"
"Fifty taels, or you won't want to know."
Xu Shan laughed proudly twice and made a five gesture with his right hand.
"Hehe." Xu Miaomiao chuckled and hit him with the broom.
The sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the yard, and Xu Shan yelled loudly: "Xu Miaomiao, what are you doing!"
"Xu Miaomiao, if you don't want to know where Song Weiwei is right now!"
"Xu Miaomiao, you dare to hit me!"
Xu Miaomiao took a breath and only let go after seeing the man was beaten black and blue.
Xu Shan took a breath and said, "She was bought by me and sold to a brothel. Such an innocent lady is only worth twenty taels, hahahahahaha."
As he spoke, the man laughed crazily.
"Hehe." Xu Miaomiao threw the broom aside, took out the heart-breaking powder from the space, pinched Xu Shan's mouth and fed it to him.
"What I hate most is men who cheat on women."
"Xu Miaomiao, what did you give me to eat!" Xu Shan pinched his throat anxiously.
Xu Miaomiao approached him and whispered in his ear: "I always wanted to let you go because of our family relationship, but now I understand."
"I'm not a horse breeder, why should I let you go? This is a heart-breaking powder."
The three words "qingqing" scared Xu Shan so much that he wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"I, I want me to report to the authorities, how dare you poison me!"
"Don't worry, you won't die." Xu Miaomiao leaned in close and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It would be worse than death."
He stood up, looked at Xu Shan rolling on the ground, and said with a sneer: "Go ahead and report to the police. If they can find any signs of poisoning, I, Xu Miaomiao, will lose!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Shan crawled away. The sharp pain in his abdomen made it difficult for him to stand and walk. He had to find a doctor quickly.
