I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 90: Evil-hearted

Before Xia Zhi could reach the east wing, Liu's daughter Xinghua rushed out from the other side and stopped her.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Liu rushed over, took out the key and locked her door.

Now Mrs. Liu felt relieved. She couldn't get in. Let's see how the dead girl would find things.

 “What are they all noisy about?” At this time, an old lady came out of the main room.

Seeing Xia Zhi who was fighting with Xinghua, he looked stunned and blurted out, "Ms. Liu, what's going on? Didn't you say that this **** girl won't come back again?"

Xia Zhi looked at her mother in disbelief. Listening to the meaning of these words, it turns out that her mother also knew about her being sold?

 It’s ridiculous that she originally thought that if her second uncle and second aunt were unwilling to return the things to her, she would ask her grandma to come forward and ask for it for her.

Now it seems that she already knew about her being sold, and she didn’t object yet?

Mrs. Liu greeted the old lady with a smile on her face and held her arm in a flattering manner, "Mom, wouldn't it be better if she came back? If I can sell that **** girl once, I can naturally sell her twice."

 With no outsiders around, Mrs. Liu was too lazy to cover up, so she had no scruples about speaking.

As for Xia Zhi and Ling Chu, Mrs. Liu didn't take them seriously at all, but she could deal with these two weaklings on her own.

　　Earlier at the entrance of the village, she was just reluctant to do anything in front of outsiders.

When Xia Zhi listened to Mrs. Liu and her grandmother, her heart dropped into the ice cellar.

The old lady nodded to Mr. Liu, "That's fine. Last time I sold only eighty taels, and all of them were given to Qiao'er as a betrothal gift. Tomorrow, remember to find a place that can afford the price before selling."

"Don't worry, Mom, I can save it. The price offered by the traffickers last time was indeed lower. This girl has a good look. I heard that if she can be sold to someone who specializes in training thin horses, the price will be much higher."

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that there were no outsiders in the house, and they were openly discussing how to sell her at a high price in front of Xia Zhi as if no one else was around.

Unexpectedly, a cry came from outside the courtyard gate, "So that girl from Xia Zhi didn't elope, but was sold to a human trafficker by you?"

"I said that girl Xia Zhi has always been sensible and would never do such shameless things. I didn't expect that she was betrayed by you."

Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled when they heard the buzzing discussion. They turned around and found that a group of women had gathered at the door.

Liu's expression changed, but she quickly smiled again, "Oh, why are you all here at my house?"

A woman curled her lips in disdain, "If we didn't come, how would we know that you sold all your nieces?"

“That’s right, Mrs. Liu, I didn’t expect you to be so vicious-hearted that you would even kill your own niece.”

"Hey, haven't you heard? It's not enough to sell this once, but you want to sell it twice. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Liu, you are really dark-hearted."

“Xinghua’s mother, if you do such an outrageous thing, aren’t you afraid that her parents will come back to settle the score with you during the summer solstice at night?”

These women usually have little dealings with Mr. Liu, and they don't care whether she looks ugly or not.

Although Mrs. Liu was secretly annoyed with them for being nosy, she couldn't get angry easily.

Her family in Dongqiao is getting married next month, and she can't let the news get out and ruin the marriage.

Ms. Liu quickly explained with a smile on her face, "Well, you all misunderstood. I was trying to scare that girl from Xia Zhi. You all know that her parents are gone, and she has a stubborn temper and won't listen to advice.

 Her mother and I were worried that she would leave a letter without caring and run away from home like last time. As a last resort, he tried to scare her.

 Her second uncle and I are just a niece. It’s too late to love her, so how could we sell her away. "

Even though Ms. Liu was trying her best to go back and explain, those women were not fools. How could they be fooled by her with just a few words.

At Xia Zhi, she was just about to let the women at the door disperse. Unexpectedly, a shout came from the crowd, "Give way, quickly give way, the village chief is here." The village chief was alarmed.

When Gao saw the village chief, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now she rushed outside the Liu Family Courtyard and happened to hear Mrs. Liu talking about selling the Summer Solstice.

Mrs. Gao was worried that Xia Zhi would be sold again, but she, an outsider, could not stop the Xia family.

Mrs. Gao did not enter the courtyard, but quietly found her son who happened to be nearby and asked him to run to invite the village chief.

 Only the village chief can prevent Xia Zhi from being sold.

Village Chief Wang was found by Gao's son. Hearing that Xia Daqing's daughter-in-law had sold her niece to a trafficker, he dropped what he was doing and hurried over.

"Ms. Liu, I heard that you sold Xia Youxin's daughter to a trafficker?" Village Chief Wang looked ugly.

It would be fine if Mrs. Liu sold her niece to a wealthy family as a maid, but selling it to human traffickers would have a really bad impact.

If this matter spreads out, the reputation of their Wangjia Village will be ruined, and the marriages of the younger generation will probably be affected by this matter.

Ms. Liu panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

“It’s okay, my family is here during the summer solstice.”

Xia Zhi's grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, also said, "Xia Zhi is my granddaughter. Her second uncle and second aunt love her as their own daughter, so how could they sell her?"

Village Chief Wang was relieved after hearing what Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said and seeing that Xia Zhi was indeed standing well in the yard.

Seeing that the village chief believed their words, the pair of puppets standing in front of Ling Chu couldn't help but feel anxious.

“Girl, please help Xia Zhi, don’t let my daughter be sold by Liu’s mother-in-law again.”

Ling Chu nodded towards the couple, "Don't worry, Xia Zhi is my maid now, and I will never let her suffer."

After comforting the two ghosts, Ling Chu walked towards Village Chief Wang, "Mr. Wang came at the right time. Don't let Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be deceived. They are not good people."

Being scolded in front of the village chief and so many villagers, Mrs. Liu turned black with anger, "Why are we not good people? This is unfounded. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart." "

“Is it possible that you think no one knows about the things you have done? Have you ever heard of a saying that if you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself?”

Ling Chu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Village Chief Wang.

Just now, Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law openly discussed in front of her how to sell her maid at a higher price.

If she hadn't happened to see the ghosts of Xia Zhi's parents at that time, she would have taken action to deal with them.

"Girl, what is this..." Village Chief Wang was originally puzzled as to why Ling Chu suddenly handed her a piece of paper, but when he accidentally saw the words "Deed of Prosecution" on it, his expression changed.

Village Chief Wang grabbed the contract and read it word for word. The anger in his heart was rising. He shouted at Mrs. Zhang with a black face, "Zhang Chunhua, where is your Xia Daqing? Tell him to get out..."
