Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Jackals and Wolves

Upon hearing this, Butcher Yu immediately stopped laughing, glared at Madam Xie charging towards him, and said viciously, “Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Your Mo family has taken my silver.”

“Whoever took your silver, you go find them. You didn’t have a matchmaker, nor a betrothal gift. With nothing but your bare words, on what basis do you claim that my daughter has been promised to you?”

Madam Xie was so angry she was nearly in tears. The Mo family was bullying them too much. They had already moved out and even had their own household registration, which the village head had helped them with at the government office. To get that registration, she still owed the village head five taels of silver. And now they still had to suffer from their disaster; it was just too much.

After hearing this, Butcher Yu turned his head to look at Auntie Sun, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say that Xuexue is your husband’s daughter, and that you had the right to handle her marriage matters? And, that it wasn’t necessary to go through the trouble of hiring a matchmaker, but simply giving silver was enough?”

“Yes, I indeed am Xuexue’s stepmother and have the right to decide on her marriage matters. You just relax. If you don’t believe me, you can go around the village and ask.” Since Auntie Sun had something on her held by Butcher Yu, in spite of her unwilling heart, she had to help him complete this matter. Otherwise, it would become impossible to stay in Mo Family Village.

“Auntie Sun, you woman are so vicious, actually hurting my daughter like this. I know you resent her for biting off your ear, but Xuexue didn’t do it on purpose. She was delirious with fever that day.” Madam Xie, hearing Auntie Sun’s words, trembled with anger.

“Just by saying it was a delirium, you want to turn over a new leaf? It’s not that simple. My beauty was ruined by that little cheap person, and now, I will make her suffer, what about that?” With Mo Xiaoqiang not around, Auntie Sun was unrestrained.

Furious, Madam Xie glared deathly at Auntie Sun: “You… .”

“I don’t care about your grievances. Anyway, I’ve spent the silver, and today, no matter what, I shall take a wife home.” As Butcher Yu spoke, he turned his head and said to several strong men beside him, “Brothers, go inside the house. Fetch the person for me. Tonight, come hell or high water, I will embrace a beauty in my arms.”

Having returned last time without success and still fuming about it, almost harming himself, this time, Butcher Yu had learned to be smart. He spent some silver to summon his usual do-nothing companions who gathered for food, drink, and gambling, prepared to take her by force if soft tactics didn’t work, and forcefully abduct her back home. In short, he could not let his twenty taels of silver go to waste.

“You’re trespassing on private property, you can’t go in.” As soon as Madam Xie saw several strong men with menacing looks charging towards the house, she quickly stood at the doorway, arms outstretched, refusing to let them in.

“Go, go, move aside, don’t delay our Big Brother Yu’s wedding night.”

A few fierce-looking men didn’t even consider the frail Madam Xie, not halting for a moment, they simply pushed her to the ground.

“Ah…!”

Pushed by someone, Madam Xie fell to the ground. Her wrist was scraped, but she couldn’t care less. She quickly got up and chased after them, her voice carrying a plea, “Master, I beg you, please let Xuexue go, she truly isn’t engaged to you.”

“You wretched village woman, you don’t even appreciate that I am willing to be your son-in-law. You don’t rejoice, and now you cry with a mournful face, how unlucky. Go die to the side.” Watching Madam Xie blocking his way again and again, Butcher Yu was thoroughly annoyed.

Rolling up his sleeves, he slapped Madam Xie fiercely across the face.

“Smack!”

“Ah…!”

Struck across the face, Madam Xie became dizzy, stumbled, and fell to the ground again. Her hair became disheveled, scattering as she sat on the ground, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth…

“Mother, Mother, what’s wrong?”

Xuexue, who had just come out, rushed over, helping Madam Xie wipe the blood from her mouth, asking urgently.

“Xuexue, Xuexue, quickly go, don’t mind your mother.” Madam Xie, in a panic, pushed Xuexue away. Despite the pain all over her body, she hadn’t forgotten that several predators were eagerly eyeing her daughter.
