Chapter Seventeen: Leaving the Village and Entering the City

Although Niu Zhuang suffered a slight injury to his leg, he was still in good spirits and became even more excited to talk after seeing his wife.

"Gong Qiang and the others were playing dirty tricks and wanted to destroy grain in our fields. Brother Yang Wu found out and took us there to restrain them immediately."

"These little brothers are very skilled. Those idiots Gong Qiang brought are no match for them. Let's beat them to a pulp!"

Niu Zhuang was happy in his heart. He was only paying attention to the women at home talking about the battle ahead. Suddenly he saw someone lying on the ground. He quickly opened his mouth and asked his wife: "What's going on? Who is this?"

Niu Zhuang's wife told Niu Zhuang the cause and effect, took her husband from Yanchang, placed him in the house, and drew a conclusion at the end of the topic.

"So, if it weren't for Brother Yang Wu, our family would be ruined."

Niu Zhuang didn't expect that Gong Qiang would divide his troops into three groups and attack Xiaoquan Village to death for this little food.

"It's really nothing!" He clenched his fists and beat the bed angrily.

Seeing that everyone in his family was fine, Niu Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief: "This time, the five Yang brothers have become the great benefactors of our village. According to me, we did the right thing when we helped them.

"Just stop saying a few words!" Niu Zhuang's wife looked at his injured leg, feeling distressed and helpless. She cleaned his wound, applied medicine, and slapped him before going out.

She looked at Qin Shumei who was asking about Yanchang's situation in the courtyard, sighed, and went up to tug her arm.

"Sister, come here, my sister-in-law has something to tell you."

Qin Shumei was full of doubts. She saw that Niu Zhuang's wife had a solemn expression. Although she didn't know what she wanted to do, she still obeyed her arrangements.

Niu Zhuang's wife avoided everyone and pulled Qin Shumei into the empty house. After making sure there was no one outside, she locked the window.

"Sisters, aren't you the refugees affected by the disaster?"

Niu Zhuang's wife's dark, clear eyes looked directly at Qin Shumei, which made her heart skip a beat. Qin Shumei subconsciously wanted to deny it.

But Niu Zhuang's daughter-in-law's pure and trusting eyes prevented her from opening her mouth to say "no".

Seeing Qin Shu's embarrassment as her face flushed slightly but she couldn't say a word, Niu Zhuang's wife already had the answer in her heart.

"Although I am just a village woman, I am not a completely ignorant fool."

She smiled softly, and held Qin Shumei's delicate and soft fingers with her calloused hands.

"Girl, with your looks and skin like this, you don't look like a prostitute. Your man's attitude is not comparable to that of people in our small place. Not to mention their skills today, several men can't match one of them."

Was it already full of loopholes? Fortunately, I still felt that I had done a good job of covering it up. Listening to Niu Zhuang’s daughter-in-law revealing it bit by bit, Qin Shumei’s eyebrows turned red all the way from her cheeks to her ears.

"Sister-in-law, we didn't mean to hide this from you. It's really..."

Niu Zhuang's wife shook her head and stopped Qin Shumei's words.

"You don't have to explain it to your sister-in-law, and she doesn't blame you. Everyone has to go too far sometimes, so there's no need to say anything if you feel forced."

"It's just that when you show up, Gong Qiang and the others will remember it, for fear that they will hold grudges and retaliate. The five Yang brothers are all men, and my sister-in-law is only worried about you."

Her eyes were full of worries. As a woman, she also envied Qin Shumei's outstanding face. However, in this world, if a woman has no power, her outstanding face will only become a burden and a disaster.

"While they haven't recovered from this, you should leave quickly, as far away as possible."

"Then what do you do?"

What if the person who caused the trouble packed up and ran away, leaving a whole village of people to be bullied? How could the people of Xiaoquan Village, who had families and businesses, be forced to leave their homes and flee.

"Otherwise you have never stayed in the village." Niu Zhuang's wife patted the back of Qin Shumei's hand.

"You don't have to worry here. Although we are in the mountains, who doesn't have relatives to support us? Besides, we still have Li Zheng and Mr. Niu, so nothing big will happen."

"Dapeng often runs outside. He is familiar with the road. Let him take you into the city. Once you leave this boundary, you will be safe."

"I have to discuss this matter with Yang Wu." She didn't know where to go, so what if she took everyone astray.

Qin Shumei went out and told Yang Zhaoquan exactly what happened.

"We are already a little delayed now, but if we go north and go from Yuankang City, we can save some time." More importantly, it will be more convenient to enter the city with the villagers as cover.

Niu Dapeng is also a cheerful person. When he heard that they were going to the city to take refuge, he immediately agreed.

Yanchang helped him guard the warehouse just now, so he could go to the city to sell some goods, and he could repay the favor with him. How could he not be happy with this?

"Sister-in-law, we are leaving now."

Although we only got along with each other for just two days, Niu Zhuang's wife is the first person in the world besides Man Rong who is so considerate and considerate to her. Being held by her thick palms, an inexplicable feeling will rise in the bottom of my heart.

A sense of solidity.

“Eat on the road.”

While the Yanchang guys were helping Niu Dapeng load the car, Niu Zhuang's wife stuffed steamed buns and eggs into Qin Shumei's bag and looked at her with eyes filled with pity.

"When I came to my sister-in-law's house, I didn't eat anything good. On the contrary, I got you into trouble." Niu Zhuang's wife looked at the two egg-laying chickens in the yard and wished she could kill them with a knife right now.

Qin Shumei brought it.

"Come on, sister-in-law, don't say anything like this."

She lowered her voice and quickly added in Niu Zhuang's wife's ear: "There is something on the stove that I left for my sister-in-law."

Qin Shumei left her ear, with a warm smile on her face, and said "take care" to Niu Zhuang and his wife. At Yanji's urging, she climbed onto the bullock cart loaded by Niu Dapeng.

The couple stood there until even the dust raised by the wheels of the ox cart had settled, and then they turned around and returned home.

Niu Zhuang's daughter-in-law tidied up the messy yard, feeling empty in her heart. Her family was full of brothers, and her husband was an only child. The gentle and lovely Qin Shumei suddenly occupied the place reserved for sisters in her heart.

She was immersed in touching the still warm maltose candy jar, and accidentally caught a glimpse of an upside-down bowl on the stove.

What Qin Shumei had said flashed through Niu Zhuang's wife's mind. She didn't pay much attention and reached out to turn the bowl over.

"Crack!" The sound of broken utensils came from the kitchen.

Niu Zhuang put down the bamboo mat he was holding in his arms and ran out of the house where they lived in Yanchang. He kept asking: "What's wrong? What's wrong? You didn't cut your hand, did you?"

"Daniu, look!"

Niu Zhuang's wife's expression was dull, and she didn't even look at the bowl on the ground. She clasped her hands up and down, opening a crack, and motioned Niu Zhuang to look inside.

"What?"

Niu Zhuang felt relieved when he saw that his wife was not injured. He leaned over to pick up the broken bowl and raised his eyes.

The large piece of porcelain fell and fell to the ground again, breaking into small pieces.

"This is?!"

A round pearl as big as a thumb lay quietly in the palm of Niu Zhuang's wife. It was completely white and exuded a gleaming pink halo in her palm.

For the first time in his life, Niu Zhuang had a practical concept of "jewelry".

"This is what Sister Qin left behind."

Niu Zhuang's wife closed her hand again, and the brilliance of the pearl disappeared between her fingers, and Niu Zhuang finally regained consciousness.

"I just said that they are not ordinary people. This girl is thanking us."

"Here, this can be exchanged for at least ten taels of silver!" Niu Zhuang ignored the broken bowl on the ground and pointed at his wife's joined palms.

"Look at your worthless appearance." Niu Zhuang's wife got up and went to her room. She and her husband worked together to move the bed, wrapped the pearls with layers of cloth, touched a hole that had been dug in the wall, and crossed the copper plate in the hole.

and broken silver, stuffed the cloth bag into the depths.

After putting the bed back in place and looking at the room that was decorated the same as before, Niu Zhuang felt that the lighting in this small shabby room was much better.

"Daughter-in-law, why do I feel like the walls of our house are glowing?" Niu Zhuang recovered from the shock and was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Look, you're having fun, calm down." She said this, but Niu Zhuang's wife couldn't turn her lips away, so she slapped her man in the face.

"It's just as the old saying goes, you can eat as much as you have a big belly. We can't do anything to help others, so it's not easy to accept such a heavy gift. If we want to see you again, you have to give it back to others."

Although Niu Zhuang was a little reluctant to give up, he knew that what his wife said was reasonable, so he still nodded with a pinched neck.
