Chapter 166 What hatred and grudge?
While others were more worried, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
She had previously found the Song Mansion badges on the two men, and heard Wang Fugui say that the two women wanted Huo Bing's life. She thought that Huo Bing or her parents had offended officials who held the power of life and death. Now, "I don't want to see her face" was clearly a fight within the palace.
Since it is the inner house, the risk is much smaller, and Huo Bing came to the Jiang family when she was less than ten years old. What the beautiful woman didn't want to see was not her face, but the resemblance of her mother in her!
In this dynasty, children born to concubines and maids were legal, and judging by the beautiful woman's approach to Wang Fugui and the disaster victims, it was done covertly—as long as there wasn't a large-scale, open killing, she could have protected Ah Bing with careful planning...
"Isn't Ah Bing's mother a concubine of that family? I heard that many mistresses in the mansion don't like concubines and find illegitimate children annoying. Is that why Ah Bing was sold?"
"A Bing has been in our village for so many years. She was sold for so long, why haven't you let her go? What's the grudge?"
"What will happen next?"
Everyone looked at Huo Bing worriedly. In the past, they envied the women in the backyards of wealthy families who had no worries about food and drink, but now they found that they also had to meet a good master. People like Huo Bing's mother would not only have a hard life themselves, but their children would also die.
The older woman looked carefully at Huo Bing's heroic appearance, and wondered how Huo Bing's mother could become a concubine who only used her beauty to serve a man if she looked like her.
.....No wonder she was not favored and her daughter was even sold. Alas.
Wang Fugui stared at the purse in Shen Qing's hand with his inverted triangle eyes. He swallowed his saliva and asked shamelessly, "This is the money those two gave us. Can you return it to me?"
Shen Qing came back to his senses and almost laughed when he heard this. He was so angry!
"So someone gave you money to bring a group of people to kill us, and we were so capable and strong that we turned the defeat into victory, so we have to return the money to you?
Do we look like fools to you?"
Wang Fugui was anxious. "That's over a hundred taels of silver! Do you want to keep it all for yourself?"
"No, there are so many of us here, and everyone has worked hard, so of course everyone gets a share."
Wang Fugui choked. That was clearly not what he meant. Who cared whether she kept it all or shared it among the others? He had clearly said that he deserved half as well!
"I worked hard to get this, so I should have half. Besides, when the people inside wake up, how can I explain to them if I don't have the silver?"
Those people will kill him!
Shen Qing said coldly: "I don't care how you explain it. If you don't have money, you can find a way yourself."
She didn't kill those people only because she felt it hadn't come to that point, not because they didn't deserve to die. The same thing went with Wang Fugui. She didn't kill him, but she couldn't do anything if they wanted to kill each other.
Even welcome it.
Shen Qing didn't want to waste any more time talking and glanced at Feng Xing, who chopped Wang Fugui down with a knife and he fainted again.
She sighed that it was really worry-free to have her own group of people.
"Let's go. Even though we didn't pick any wild rice stems, this time the harvest wasn't small. Let's go back and divide the money!"
The younger Feng Xing and Feng Tao cheered happily, jumping up and down in front to lead the way;
The older Zheng Huili'e followed behind in a good mood. She didn't expect to gain something unexpected from her trip, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Moreover, they thought that Shen Qing was just trying to anger Wang Fugui by saying that everyone should share the money, but they didn't expect that she was serious.
Wild rice is delicious, but if I could spare a few ounces of silver, how much food could I buy? Of course, silver is better.
Jiang Ying, Jiang Yu and Guan Li looked at Huo Bing worriedly from time to time, and finally pursed their lips and said nothing.
That woman wanted to kill Huo Bing, but even Wang Fugui didn't know her name. And even if she did, how could a group of farmers like them defeat her?
The enemy is in the dark and they are in the light. The other side has money, power and connections, while they have nothing. How can they fight against others?
Thinking of this, the three of them wanted to sigh, but they forced themselves to hold it back for fear of burdening Huo Bing.
The three of them looked at Shen Qing again, and seeing that she looked relaxed and not obviously worried, they suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
They saw how good Shen Qing was to Huo Bing. Now that Huo Bing was in danger, Shen Qing's worries were no less than theirs. It could only be said that she hid her worries in her heart or discarded them!
"Sister-in-law, have you thought of a solution?" Jiang Yu asked quietly.
Shen Qing neither admitted nor denied it, but simply said, "Let's go back and discuss it with my second uncle first."
Feng Xing, who was standing in front, turned around and snorted, "How difficult is that? There are about 160 people in our village. Are we afraid of that woman? I want to see how many people she can command!"
Zheng Hui followed up, "Yes, we are one. If she wants Ah Bing's life, we will definitely not agree. If we fight, who will win or lose is still uncertain."
The head of the family was injured and almost died of fever. She was prepared to spend all her money to treat him. If Shen Qing had not helped, her family would have been destroyed like other victims.
This life was given away, and every day she lives is a blessing. Moreover, if others can help her family with all their strength, they will naturally be able to repay them with all their strength!
Huo Bing looked over and said anxiously: "It's my fault."
Jiang Ying interrupted, "We're family, so why bother talking about implicating someone? You haven't even been in Qili Village for ten years, how would you know what happened in the past?"
Even if there is a mistake, it is not your fault. This is an unprovoked disaster! Don't take the blame for bad things. Besides, your past memories have not been restored yet. Wait until you recover them. "
They just guessed that Ah Bing's mother was the concubine of that woman. If she had done something to wrong her, they would just avoid her, but what if she didn't?
How miserable Ah Bing must have felt when he was sold and hunted.
Huo Bing's frown relaxed: "Okay."
Shen Qing's whisper of comfort came from the side: "No matter what happens, mother is here to support us. Don't worry, our family will advance and retreat together."
Huo Bing's nose felt sore, and the uneasiness he had felt about being betrayed disappeared. "I understand, mother."
Even when her life and property were threatened, her mother and others did not abandon her.
*
The villagers of Qili Village were making brushes when they saw many women who had gone out to gather wild vegetables return empty-handed, each with a solemn expression. They looked up in surprise and asked, "What happened?"
"Did something happen?"
But, what could happen?
Now there is free porridge and disaster relief grain is about to be distributed. Life is getting better day by day. The frequency of other disaster victims causing trouble has decreased a lot. How could there be any problem?
Shen Qing and his group walked straight to Mr. Jiang Er and told him what had just happened.
The men who were listening on the side became anxious. Jiang Xiangdong, Jiang Xiangxi, Jiang Xiangnan and others wanted to kill Wang Fugui and his group!
Master Jiang raised his eyes and looked at the noisy men. The cursing gradually faded away until it became silent under the pressure of his eyes.
"Wang Fugui and the others do deserve to die, but will killing them make Ah Bing safe?
No, no, there will be another batch, even more powerful and stronger."
