Shu Jiaying and Village Chief Xu tacitly agreed not to say anything. After Zhao Chunlian and the others had all entered the kitchen, they pulled Xiaohua out of the house.
Shu Jiaying told Village Chief Xu her guess.
"Uncle Xu, that Sister Zhang and Tianxiang... I don't think they're good people. My intuition tells me they're human tooth traffickers. Their appearance must be because Luo Dahu is planning to sell Xiaohua."
When Xiaohua heard that she was going to be sold, she cried anxiously, "Sister Jiaying, you have to save me. I don't want to be sold. Wuuuuuu... I hate that old man. The way he looks at me is so scary. I... I don't want to be sold to him..."
"Don't cry, Xiaohua. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."
He turned and looked at Village Chief Xu.
"Uncle Xu, what do you think we should do about this?"
“…”
Village Chief Xu didn't give a direct answer. After a moment's silence, he sighed and said, "Although I don't think those two people seem like good people, isn't it a bit too arbitrary to say that they are human tooth traffickers?"
"Uncle Xu, this isn't arbitrary. I've been observing for a long time..."
"Just what?"
A voice outside the door interrupted Shu Jiaying.
Shu Jiaying and Village Chief Xu looked back and saw that it was Luo Dahu who had returned. In one hand, Luo Dahu was holding a black blanket, and in the other hand he was holding a pot of white wine.
As soon as she saw the black blanket, Shu Jiaying immediately had a bad feeling. She grabbed Xiaohua's hand tightly and let Xiaohua hide behind her.
Luo Dahu first glanced at Village Chief Xu and Shu Jiaying with disdain, and then his malicious eyes fell on Xiaohua.
"What's wrong, Xiaohua? Your uncle is back, why didn't you call out?"
"Sister Jiaying..."
Xiaohua buried her face in Shu Jiaying's back and didn't dare to look at Luo Dahu's face at all.
Luo Dahu had been looking forward to today's dinner. He didn't want Village Chief Xu and Shu Jiaying to ruin his plans, but he couldn't get Shu Jiaying to leave. He could only tell Village Chief Xu to leave, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Village Chief, we have guests at home today and can't entertain them. If you don't have anything special to do, I think you should go back first. How about I visit you another day?"
"Uncle Village Chief, don't go."
Xiaohua was worried that if Xu Lichang left, she would have one less person to protect her, so she held Xu Lichang's hand tightly.
Shu Jiaying quickly echoed Luo Dahu's words and said, "Uncle, since Uncle Tianxiang and Aunt Zhang inside are your relatives, it wouldn't be convenient for Xiaohua to stay there. So, I'd better take Xiaohua to the village head's house for a while. We'll come back after your relatives leave."
"Hey, don't..., just leave. How could you take Xiaohua with you? Miss Shu, you don't know that Tianxiang in there is a very close relative of Xiaohua. So everyone can be absent today, but Xiaohua cannot be absent."
As he said that, Luo Dahu was about to pull Xiaohua to his side.
Shu Jiaying didn't care about that. She pushed Luo Dahu's hand away without thinking.
"Hey, slow down!"
A pot of white wine almost fell to the ground.
Luo Dahu didn't expect Shu Jiaying to hit him. He angrily scolded, "You little bitch, are you dying? Do you know how expensive my wine is? How are you going to compensate me if it's broken?"
"It's broken, so it's broken. Who told you to do that? If you have anything to say, you can talk to Xiaohua nicely. Anyway, I'm telling you, I'm Xiaohua's guardian, and she has to follow me wherever I go."
