Su Yundong's expenses far exceeded the previous estimates of the Su Yun couple.
But now that everyone has been sent to the academy, the family is the envy of everyone in the village. They are praised by everyone they meet wherever they go. Their vanity makes them reluctant to give up this honor for the time being.
After all, there is a scholar in the family, so they feel that their status is higher than that of other families.
It was at this time that the eldest son of the landlord in the neighboring village took a fancy to Su Yunxia and offered her excellent conditions. In addition to a high betrothal gift, he was also willing to arrange jobs for their entire family in the town.
It is extremely difficult for farmers from nearby families to find a long-term job in the town. There are rarely one or two people in a village who can do such a job. Most of them do short-term jobs, and most of them are very hard labor.
Therefore, the conditions offered by this landlord were already the best. If you didn't know, you would think that his eldest son liked Su Yunxia very much.
In Su Yun's words, Su Yunxia was extremely lucky. There were countless people nearby who were eager to marry into the landlord's family and enjoy a good life. Su Yunxia should burn incense and thank her ancestors every day for being favored by him.
In order to get the betrothal money and a long-term job for the family, the Su Yun couple did not hesitate much and sent Su Yunxia to the next village that day without even holding a wedding banquet, regardless of whether Su Yunxia agreed or not.
It’s not that Su Yunshi was unwilling to hold a wedding banquet. She had finally become related to the landlord’s family, and she wanted to spread the word more than anyone else. She wished that all the nearby villages knew that they were the landlord’s relatives.
It's just that they were urging them to do so, and since she was going to be the fourth concubine, they didn't want to make it too extravagant or noisy. After all, wealthy families like to be particular, and although taking a concubine is normal for them, it is not a glorious thing.
Su Yun set up several tables at home and told her relatives. To her, as long as she could find a job in the town, she didn't think it made any difference whether her son was a concubine or a servant.
Lin Mo's eyes darkened slightly and his brows were tightly furrowed. If he remembered correctly, the house close to Maolin Village and owned by a landlord was the one the original owner and Lai Gouzi and the others went to steal from.
If he hadn't arrived at the right time, Yuansheng would have died long ago. Although he was not familiar with the landlord's family next door, he knew that the old landlord Zhou had no daughters, only three tall and strong sons.
Su Yunxia married the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Laosan.
According to the original owner's memory, he was caught stealing by Zhou Laosan and was beaten half to death. If the landlord Zhou had not appeared in time and let him go for fear of loss of life, Zhou Laosan would have been very cruel and violent at that time.
The original owner might have been beaten to death on the spot and there was no way he could have been carried home alive.
"Zhou Laosan is a homosexual, preferring men to men. He doesn't like women, but he also likes boys. He prefers men..."
Su Yunxia continued to speak with a sob, as if she was recalling something painful. Her expression became more ferocious, and her eyes were filled with viciousness, as if she wanted to skin the man alive.
Lin Mo knew he was a little crazy at the moment, but he also understood, "Zhou Laosan is cruel and brutal. You will definitely suffer if you go there."
Zhou Laosan's character was well-known not only in his own village but also in several nearby villages.
Relying on his family's wealth, Zhou Laosan often did a lot of bullying and oppression. He was the youngest in the family and was loved very much by the old landlord. As long as he wanted something, it could basically be satisfied. Even if he committed a crime, someone would deal with it for him.
Lin Mo tried hard to find memories of Zhou Laosan in his mind. The man was tall and burly, his body like a small mountain. He laughed crazily and cruelly, his expression was always distorted, and he spoke incoherently.
Lin Mo's face was heavy. He always felt that Zhou Lao San was not a normal person and probably had mental problems.
Su Yunxia didn't go to Zhou's house voluntarily, and he didn't like men, so she was very resistant at first and struggled violently. Zhou Laosan liked this kind of big reaction the most, and he beat Su Yunxia so hard that night that she couldn't stand up, and for more than a month afterwards.
Su Yunxia was suffering in the hellish little house. At first he could still resist, but later he could only lie on the ground powerlessly, gasping for breath, allowing Zhou Laosan to beat him, cut his flesh and skin, and do whatever he wanted to him.
If he hadn't been holding his breath and didn't want to die, he would have almost given up many times. After finally escaping, he didn't dare to go home. He knew that as long as he went back, his mother would definitely send him back to the Zhou family as soon as possible.
He was really desperate and didn't want to die in the mountains and feed the wild beasts. He had heard Su Yundong mention it before and knew that Lin Mo had opened a shop in the town.
He knew that he didn't have much time left and would definitely not survive, but in order to see Mu Ge'er again before he died, he held on with all his strength, asked along the way, and it took him three days to find the Lin family's shop.
Because his injuries were so serious, both the Su and Zhou families were looking for him, so he had to wrap himself up tightly. He fell into a cesspool and ate weeds and wild vegetables along the way. He finally made it to the town, but he didn't know which street the Lin family's shop was on.
He had no choice but to beg while groping and asking along every street. God helped those who worked hard. When he was about to die, he finally saw a familiar figure on West Street. He ran to the counter without thinking and almost couldn't catch his breath.
Su Yunxia spoke excitedly, her tone was passionate and enthusiastic at one moment, angry and jealous at another, and finally her voice became hoarse with sorrowful crying.
Lin Mo fed him the medicine, and after the medicine took effect, Su Yunxia fell asleep again in a daze.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Lin Mo had no intention of sleeping. The matter of Su Yunxia was not simple. At first, he thought that it was the Su Yun couple who beat him, but after seeing the injuries on his body, he denied his suspicion.
Even if Su Yunxia was not favored, he was their biological son after all, and it was impossible for them to be so cruel.
Now that the landlord next door is involved, Lin Mo has to think about how to deal with it next. During this period of time, he has also gained some understanding of several nearby landlords.
The Zhou family has a relatively high status in the neighborhood. In addition to owning their own fields in several nearby villages, they also own many shops in the town and do quite a lot of business. To them, their small shop is not a big deal.
Moreover, the Zhou family and the Su family are still looking for someone. The Zhou family may not be able to guess where Su Yunxia will run to, but the Su family can definitely guess. Su Yunxia has been close to Mu Ge'er since childhood, so they will naturally suspect Mu Ge'er. If nothing unexpected happens, they will find her in the shop in the next two days.
Zhou Laosan is really a pervert. This is definitely not his first offense. I don’t know how much trouble he has suffered.
Lin Mo suppressed the bloodthirsty cruelty in his eyes, and was torn between secretly killing Zhou Laosan and reporting to the government directly.
