Chapter 17 Bandits
Ouyang Hui's first wife died of dysfunction, and even the adults and children were not preserved.
It took Wang five years before giving birth to Brother Xin, and he was no longer happy after that.
On weekdays, Ouyang Hui and Wang regard Xin Ge'er as their eyes.
In Ouyang Ben's family, Xin Ge'er is the confidence of Ouyang Hui and Wang. Because they have sons, they dared to pat their chests in front of the clan elders and say that they would give Mrs. Ye a caregiver to see him off.
But yesterday evening, Brother Xin did not go home after school. Wang found the school and the master said that he had gone home long ago.
Ouyang Hui and Wang searched outside for a few hours, and went all over the places where Brother Xin often went to play, but they couldn't even find a picture.
The two of them dragged their tired bodies back home, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a letter thrown in the yard.
The letter said that they would prepare five hundred taels of silver, and put it under the altar of the land temple in Erli outside the city after the sun sets. One day after that, they would chop off one finger of Brother Xin. If they dare to report to the official position, they would chop off Brother Xin'er's head.
There is also a talisman in the envelope, which was asked by Wang in Guanyin Temple. Brother Xin took it with him and never left him.
Ouyang Hui and Wang did not dare to make a statement, and of course they did not dare to report to the official.
At that time, the money they earned by the wife of Wang’s aunt as a cattle and a horse helper in the past two years was used. Fortunately, the 100 taels of pension money the Huang family gave to the wife was still there.
The first thing Ouyang Hui and Wang thought of was to borrow money from the clan, but they knew that the clan could borrow at most 100 taels of silver, plus their original 100 taels. In the morning, they collected Yan Xuehuai's 110 taels, and then went back to their parents' home to think of ways. They barely raised up four hundred taels, and then asked the clan leader to come forward and force Mrs. Ye to take out one hundred taels, and the five hundred taels of silver was enough.
Of course, it would be even better if Mrs. Ye could pay the money for 500 taels of silver.
The couple wanted to support Mrs. Ye in his old age and see him off, so Mrs. Ye's property should of course belong to them. Now, let Mrs. Ye take out 500 taels, which is also their money. It is natural for them to redeem their son with their own money.
But they never expected that not only did Yan Xuehuai not receive the 110 taels of silver, but Mrs. Ye was clearly working with others to deal with them, so it would be even more difficult for Mrs. Ye to pay the money to redeem the person.
Of course Ouyang Hui would not tell the truth about the bandits sending the silver to the Land Temple. If someone is unethical and reveals this matter, someone takes the lead and takes the silver away, or if the yamen hears that they will go to arrest people in the future, they will be empty.
So Ouyang Hui only said that the bandits would need 500 taels of silver before they could be released back to Brother Xin. He was crying and Wang sat on the ground and howled.
The onlookers whispered, but Mrs. Ye was expressionless. She looked at Ouyang Hui and his wife as if they were watching a monkey playing tricks.
"I am an old woman and can't beat those bandits. How can I save your children? You should report to the official instead of asking for your old age."
As soon as Mrs. Ye finished speaking, Mrs. Wang screamed.
"You must have done the old lady. You bribed the bandits and kidnapped my brother Xin. You are a bad-hearted old woman. You deserve your son and grandson to die..."
Old Mrs. Ye sneered, turned her head and left.
Ouyang Hui was furious and slapped Wang again in the mouth.
"I beat you to death, a stingy girl. If you don't speak, no one will regard you as a mute!"
"Auntie, wait, don't be as familiar with Wang. Auntie, you want to save Brother Xin!"
Ouyang Hui couldn't take care of Wang anymore, and went to chase Mrs. Ye while talking. She had just run two steps, but I don't know who stretched out her legs next to her. Ouyang Hui was tripped and ate shit.
When he got up, Mrs. Ye and the woman were gone.
Ouyang Hui was furious and wanted to see who was messing with him, but where could she tell?
"Who was it? Who stumbled me just now? I have the will to stand up!"
Only fools will come forward and admit it.
Wang was slapped twice, and even more ignored it. She sat on the ground and cried and cursed: "The old widow named Ye, and you little prostitute, you kidnapped my son and robbed my shop, you won't die a good death..."
As she howled, she suddenly remembered that although Mrs. Ye had left, the little girl who stole her shop was still there.
She got up from the ground and rushed towards Yan Xuehuai.
"I tear you little prostitute, you give me my shop and my son!"
Wang waved his hands to tear Yan Xuehuai's hair. Yan Xuehuai dodged and shouted for help.
She didn't know if she could beat Wang if she tried her best, but she didn't want to fight now. Why did she have a sick little white flower like this?
"Aunt, aunt, help me! Help me!"
The weak little girl hid everywhere under the crazy fight of Wang. A few women in the crowd who usually didn't deal with Wang rushed over. Some hugged Wang from behind, while others hugged Yan Xuehuai tightly.
Although they didn't know Yan Xuehuai, if a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was not helpless, how could she rent a shop by herself?
Wang dared to beat people in public, but he just saw that the little girl had no backing?
Who has no children in her thirties and forties?
"Mr. Wang, do you want to be shameless? We don't know anything about you when you are trolling. You even bully children. You deserve your son to be tied up by the bandits."
"That's right, I've never seen anyone like you who lose their son and don't go to find him. They come here to bully other people's children. Do you have your conscience to let the dog eat it?"
Women were doing business on the same street with every word. Wang was not a good-looking guy. He often quarreled with them. At this time, his enemies were particularly jealous when they met. Seeing that they were meddling in other people's business, Wang cursed, but Ouyang Hui's face turned gloomy and said nothing.
Seeing that Wang was endless, Yu Min finally couldn't help it.
He is most afraid of meeting shrews. From childhood to adulthood, he will hide away whenever he sees shrews scolding.
But who is this shrew scolding?
It's Miss Yan.
Who is Miss Yan?
He is his first client in Yu Min's life!
Yu Min carefully avoided the two aunts blocking the front and accidentally touched the elbow of an aunt. Yu Min quickly laughed and said sorry!
The aunt's attention was on Wang's body, and she snorted, just to forgive him.
Yu Min finally walked to Wang. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, used all his strength to shout at Wang: "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go and invite Mr. Jiao!"
Wang was stunned for a moment, and the scene of Wang Xiaoxi rolling all over the ground after being removed from one leg.
"You...you dare not...don't scare Mr. Jiao, Mr. Jiao is not here again..."
The pitiful little white flower couldn't help but feel the urge to owe her. She said frankly: "Jiao is not here. He is on Shuncheng Street. Hey, it's a coincidence that your parents' home is also on Shuncheng Street!"
Someone suddenly started to make a fuss in the crowd, and they were the big men who were watching women fight.
"That's right, Ouyang Hui, you don't care about your wife, and you think that the troubles in your family are not big enough?"
