Chapter 221 The Little Scholar Killed by His Classmates (5)
The villagers who were originally condemning the Du family suddenly changed their expressions and shuddered when they heard Shuangshuang's words.
That's right! She must not be allowed to start such a heartless thing.
If they get a taste of success, will other children and women in the village be safe in the future?
Therefore, the clan members who were already trying to stop them now targeted the Du family!
"People of the Ruli family, you can't be so conscienceless! The Ruyong family has been very kind to your family over the years."
"Yes! Every year when she goes hunting, the amount of meat you shamelessly take away is quite a lot."
"That's right, Yu Shuang was obviously fine, but you spread rumors about him in the village, saying that he was arrested by the county magistrate and couldn't come back.
The news hasn't been confirmed yet, and you dare bring people to sell his mother!
In my opinion, we should report this to the clan leader and the village chief and drive the whole family out of the village.
Otherwise, who will dare to let the children in the village play outside freely in the future?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go and ask the clan leader and the village chief to come over."
When Mrs. Du heard that everyone was actually saying that they were going to be expelled from the village, she was immediately frightened and quickly begged for mercy.
Then he turned around and spoke softly to Shuangshuang.
“No, no, no, nephew Yu Shuang, you misunderstood!
Auntie just wants to find a good place for your mother, she has no bad intentions.
Aren’t you thinking about the money you’ll need for the imperial examination soon? Just thinking…”
Shuangshuang didn't have the patience to argue with her and interrupted her directly!
“Since it’s such a good place, why don’t you let your daughter-in-law go there?
I think these are very good, I think Mr. Chen will definitely like them!"
"Don't talk nonsense. They look so ugly, how could Mr. Chen not like them?"
Just at this moment, several servants in black clothes came outside carrying a sedan chair, and a matchmaker dressed in fancy clothes came to the door.
Before entering the yard, the matchmaker said something extremely exaggerated.
"What a joy! A match made in heaven! The Zheng family's sister..."
Then as I entered the yard, I saw the tense situation in the yard.
It was as if someone had grabbed his neck and it stopped abruptly.
"What the hell is going on here?
Du's sister, didn't you say that this Zheng's sister voluntarily married Mr. Chen?
“Well, matchmaker, of course she is willing.
Don't worry, I will definitely let her get into the bridal sedan today."
The matchmaker didn't show it on her face, but she secretly curled her lips and snorted in disdain.
What a cheap bridal sedan, it's just for taking in a concubine.
He looked cheerful, "Okay, okay, Mr. Chen is waiting for his wedding night over there."
Du Zaohua turned around and wanted to persuade Shuangshuang with love and benefits, using the fact that he needed money for the imperial examination as an excuse.
Shuangshuang heard that she was still unable to spit out ivory in front of them.
He was so angry that he rushed to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the arm.
Blood immediately gushed out, and the wound even exposed the white bones.
Mrs. Du was in so much pain that she could not say anything else, and only these high-sounding words came out.
She kept calling her sons, asking them to take her to the clinic quickly.
But when the sons saw Shuangshuang holding the bloody knife, they didn't dare to step forward at all.
After all, Shuangshuang had practiced a few moves with his mother before, and because of his status as a scholar, they were not sure if they could provoke him.
Seeing that they had been temporarily subdued, Shuangshuang was too lazy to pay any more attention to them and focused on facing the matchmaker.
"Humph, matchmaker! I didn't realize when you started this human trafficking business."
"No, no, this young master has misunderstood.
I have never done such a shameful and shameful thing in my life."
"You never do anything that goes against your conscience? Then when will it be someone else's turn to sell my own mother?"
"My dear, you can't say that. What's the point of selling it or not?
"Mr. Chen and Mr. Li were very respectful and gave 20 strings of cash as a concubine."
Hearing these shameless words, Shuangshuang couldn't hold back her anger.
He swung the kitchen knife in his hand and chopped at her!
"You are so good, Mrs. Du, you are such a matchmaker, my mother is the legitimate wife of the family, and you are so filthy that you want to force her into slavery!
I'll kill you!"
As he said this, he slashed at the matchmaker with a knife.
The matchmaker was in pain and afraid, so she ran over to try to stop them.
"Young Master, killing is against the law, please let us go.
I promise you, I'm leaving right now, leaving right now! I'll never come to Linjia Village again!
It's just that Shuangshuang has been so upset these past two days because of all the shit that happened to her by the Jiang guy that she has no where to vent her anger. How can she let go of such an opportunity!
While the two were arguing, the knife hit the matchmaker again.
The matchmaker cried out in pain, "Help, spare my life!"
Finally, seeing that he could no longer hide, he quickly told the truth.
"Hey, this, this, Young Master Yang, please spare me! This is really none of my business!
It was all planned by Mrs. Du. She told me that you can't come back, and as long as you sell your mother, these rooms in your house will be hers.
I paid the money according to the formal procedures.
Since you don't want to, then we can just leave. There's really no need for you to risk your life for us, right?"
Then she quickly waved to the people she brought with her and prepared to leave with them. She felt that if the wounds on her body were not treated, she would bleed to death.
Shuangshuang snorted coldly, "Stop! You just said you gave her twenty taels of silver as a concubine, why are you so generous to give it to Mrs. Du?"
Shuangshuang was not stupid, so he thought he didn't see the flirting between Du Zaohua and Hua the matchmaker.
He must be planning to wait for me to leave so that he can continue to attack secretly!
Seeing the matchmaker looking at Du Zaohua awkwardly, Du Zaohua looked reluctant.
Farmers work hard in the fields for a living, and some may not be able to save even twenty taels of silver in their entire lives.
She had just tasted the joy of getting rich overnight, and before she could enjoy it enough, she had to give it all up. How could she bear to do that?
Seeing that she was hesitating, Shuangshuang raised the knife and chopped at her arm again!
With a loud scream, another bloody wound appeared on the arm that was already covered in blood.
She covered her hands and turned to look at Yang Ruli and his sons, only to see that no one stood up for her.
He had no choice but to take out two ten-liang silver ingots from his pocket, which had not even been warmed up.
The matchmaker took the silver ingot and returned the indenture signed by Yang Ruli to Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang took it and looked at it again and again. He didn't understand the matter of selling body indentures in this dynasty, so he handed it directly to the village chief who came hurriedly.
"Uncle Rushan, can you take a look at this thing and see if it works?"
Village chief Yang Rushan looked at it carefully before speaking.
"This indenture was not filed with the government office. It was burned."
After hearing this, Shuangshuang tore it into pieces in front of everyone and put it into the stove.
