The sister-in-law remained silent, but the image of Tao Xiaoxi that she saw when she was picking herbs during the day appeared in front of her eyes.
Tao Xiaoxi was more or less frightened that night. During the day, Old Man Li was determined to send her away, so she didn't dare to fall asleep. She fell into a daze in the second half of the night. When she woke up, the sky was just getting light, and she felt relieved, thinking that Li Nanshan had persuaded Old Man Li to let her stay for two more days.
However, Tao Xiaoxi had made all kinds of calculations, but she had missed one thing. She had not expected that Li Maogen would expose the family scandal and bring a group of people to send her directly back to the Sun family.
When four young men rushed into her house and carried her up with her quilt, Tao Xiaoxi's mind went blank. By the time she reacted, they had already come out of the house and were about to leave the yard surrounded by the earthen wall.
"Li Nanshan! Li Nanshan!" Tao Xiaoxi screamed at the top of her lungs, looking frantically for the man who had just made a promise to her.
"Stop howling. It's no use even if you cry your throat out. Nanshan went to the village before dawn and won't be back for half a day." Li Maogen followed the four people and looked at her grimly like a ghost, as if she was the plague god and he had to send her away today.
Tao Xiaoxi didn't scream. She just looked at Li Maogen, staring intently at him, and then watched herself leave the yard. She was held high up in the air, and no matter how hysterical she was, the men below didn't show any sign of stopping. People on the village road kept coming out after hearing the noise, and Li Maogen didn't even try to hide his presence. Regardless of whether anyone asked, he would always answer: "I'm sending someone back."
Tao Xiaoxi immediately understood what Old Man Li was planning.
He wanted the whole village to testify that she was sent back to the Sun family in good health and that any accidents that happened to her in the future would have nothing to do with the Li family.
Old man Li's move seemed to have lost face, but in fact it saved himself. Since the original owner had thoughts of suicide, she might come again, and someone as shameless as Sun Wangcai might blackmail his family again about this matter. Not to mention anything else, just saying that his son Li Nanshan had ruined his wife and made her too ashamed to live and commit suicide would be enough to make his Li family suffer.
Tao Xiaoxi had to admire Old Man Li's strategy. It seemed that she had underestimated him.
After figuring it out, Tao Xiaoxi stopped making a fuss. Even if she had extraordinary skills, she couldn't fight four people alone, let alone four strong men. Moreover, Old Man Li was extremely determined to send her back, and she couldn't shake him.
Unexpectedly, she would have such a glorious moment, being looked up to by the whole village, which was quite similar to the scene in ancient times when the concubines who were picked were stripped naked and sent to the emperor's bedroom to serve him.
But asking her to sleep with Sun Wangcai? Pah, it would be better to let her sleep with a dog!
After descending a low slope and crossing a low bridge, Tao Xiaoxi saw the crowd behind them growing larger and larger. If he was right, the entire Mantou Village had arrived. Mantou Village wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. With a total of about 180 households, young and old, that meant at least 500 or 600 people, if not a thousand. A conservative estimate of 300 or 400 people were present, all gathered together in a huge crowd, quite a large gathering.
The villagers are timid and afraid of causing trouble, but when they come to watch the fun, they are never afraid of big trouble, only that it is not big enough. The human heart has changed and the world is fickle, which is vividly played out. Tao Xiaoxi's time travel, before he had time to take a good look at this era, was taught a lesson.
