Chapter 220 Xia Liang kills his relatives for the sake of justice
Walk to the place where Hu Daya and her mother had the accident last time.
The summer coolness finally stopped.
Hu Laoer cursed.
"How dare you, you bastard, lie to me? I've been walking for so long, but I still haven't seen that nest of rabbits."
Xia Liang pointed to a group of bamboo rats that were out grazing on bamboo at the foot of the mountain and said, "Look, isn't there a whole group of rabbits down there?"
When Hu Laoer took a look in the starlight, his eyes lit up.
Then, a hand pushed him from behind.
Not long after he rolled down, he was able to stand up tremblingly. It really shows that bad guys have a very tough life.
Xia Liang saw a stream nearby and shouted to Hu Lao Er, "Dad, there are so many fish here. Let's catch some more and take them back. I'm sure we can sell them for a lot of money. Then I can buy you some wine. You won't be able to finish it all."
After the two old men Hu rolled down, their minds became even more unclear. They just heard that there was fish, money and wine, so they staggered towards the stream. Xia Liang took advantage of the fact that he was about to reach the stream and threw a big stone at his feet.
Hu Laoer tripped over a rock and fell headfirst, with most of his body and head submerged in the water.
But he drank too much and fell pretty hard, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get up for a while.
Xia Liang waited for half a minute, and when he saw that his body was completely motionless, he slowly turned around and smiled faintly towards the deep dark sky.
It’s so nice to be a flesh-and-blood person!
After seeing Hu Laoer off, Xia Liang happily went into the forest. It was the middle of the night, and no one, let alone a young girl, even an experienced hunter would dare to go into the deep forest.
When he returned home, Xia Liang saw Erya and Sanya sitting in the yard and still awake.
When he saw Xia Liang return safely, the fear on his face disappeared and he rushed directly to his sister.
Although she had only been with the two little sisters for two days, her relationship with them had quickly heated up. Xia Liang stroked the two children's heads, feeling sad. If she had not come through, these two children would surely have lost their lives.
The three of them sat in the yard again waiting for Hu Lao Er.
After waiting for a long time, Hu Laoer didn't come back.
Erya then asked weakly, "Sister, where is Daddy?"
Sanya is a tough person who speaks little: "Call me Hu Lao Er."
Xia Liang pretended to shake his head: "It was too dark, and I was walking ahead of him. By the time I saw the rabbit and went to chase it, he had disappeared. I looked for him for a long time but didn't see him. I only heard the wild animals crying, so I thought he had returned."
After Xia Liang finished speaking, she said mysteriously to the two children, "If something happens tomorrow, don't tell them that I followed Hu Laoer. Just say that Hu Laoer got drunk and went into the forest on his own."
Erya and Sanya looked at each other and nodded, not quite understanding what they were saying.
After that, the three of them washed up and went to sleep.
Besides, the next morning, the weather was exceptionally sunny and there was no wind. It was a clear and crisp autumn day, and I was in a great mood.
Xia Liang took the two little ones with him and started to process the big rabbit. Today they were going to stir-fry the rabbit meat. Having meat, vegetables and rice every day was what it meant to live a proper life.
Erya didn't understand, but couldn't help asking, "Sister, if we eat like this every day, won't we starve to death in winter?"
"It's okay. I still have some money. We can leave this damn village and make a living outside."
"Sister, will we girls be unsafe outside? Mother said that this world is extremely chaotic and women can't survive outside."
Xia Liang showed off her biceps and said with a smile: "Look at my muscles, sister. I'll punch them one by one. If you follow me, you won't be afraid of not having food to eat. Even if we have to beg for food, we'll ask for more than others."
When San Ya heard this, she nodded quickly and said, "I will go begging with my sister."
At noon, exciting news indeed came.
Hu Laoer fell headfirst into a stream in the deep mountains and forests and was drowned.
When Erya and Sanya heard this, they all looked at Xia Liang.
Xia Liang waved her hands repeatedly to explain: "This wasn't my sister's doing. I really didn't find Hu Laoer last night. He was drunk and had been walking on the mountain road all night. He must have been thirsty and fell into the water, right?"
Erya and Sanya nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he died of drunkenness."
The people in the Hu family's old house originally wanted to seek justice for Hu Laoer, but they heard the news that Hu Laoer was dead and had drowned himself.
Of course they didn't believe it, so they dragged the head of the village and the elders of the village to cause trouble.
Xia Liang pretended to have a broken brain and brought out the cooked rabbit meat for everyone to taste.
Erya quickly explained to the village head, Uncle Feng: "Grandpa Feng, my sister has lost her memory and now only knows how to go hunting small animals in the mountains. Last night she brought back a big rabbit. Daddy was jealous and wanted her to sell it to buy him some wine, but she disagreed. Daddy had already drunk three large pots of wine yesterday and had spent all the money. So he ran out in a rage, saying he was going to hunt rabbits. He was drunk and ran so fast that we couldn't catch up with him."
When the old lady of the Hu family heard this, she wailed and cursed: "You little bitch, you're already telling lies at such a young age. My second son was killed by you three bitches. Oh my, my poor second son, he died before he was even forty. What kind of fate did you have..."
I don't know whether she was sincere or not, but her crying was quite contagious. The Hu family, young and old, seemed to agree and wiped their tears privately, as if it was their own father who had died.
Xia Liang was not to be outdone. She put down the rabbit meat, sat on the ground, slapped her thighs and cried, "My life is so miserable. My mother died yesterday, and my father is gone today. My two younger sisters are still so young. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day. How are we three girls going to live in the future... It's so miserable, my life is so miserable..."
San Ya took the opportunity to sit on the ground, kicking her legs and crying at the top of her lungs.
Erya wiped her tears, then knelt down in front of the village head and sobbed, "Grandpa Feng, my sister, my younger sister, and I will have no home in the future. We will definitely be driven away by the Hu family. Grandpa Feng, what should we do..."
The speaker is pitiful and the listener is sad.
This scene made the neighbors feel sympathy and pity. Although Hu Laoer deserved to die, the child was still young and a girl could not establish her own household. If she married into the Hu family, she would definitely be wiped out.
The old lady of the Hu family refused to give in and continued to shout, "You, Hu Daya, are no good. You are an evil star sent from heaven. You will bring disaster to your father, mother, and relatives. We, the Hu family, will not let you in. Since your father is dead and your mother is gone, we must take back everything that belongs to the Hu family. We must take back the house and the land..."
When Li Zheng Feng heard this, he was furious and shouted, "Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya are still alive, and you're just thinking about eating up their entire family. Do you have any respect for the law, old man?"
Old Man Hu was usually silent, but when he heard this, he suddenly became fierce: "Village head, the law can't reach our remote place. Hu Laoer is our family, but what do these three girls have to do with us? We dare not take them in. They are unlucky for their parents. Don't let them kill our whole family. We are taking them in because we think our lives are not long enough."
"So you mean that if you don't take in the three girls, you'll have to take back the house and land?"
Mr. Hu remained silent, since it wasn't him who said that anyway.
The group of villagers who were watching the fun began to talk.
"This Daya is truly bizarre. She went into the mountains with her mother and rolled down together, but she was fine. Her mother was gone. And how could Hu Laoer come back fine, drink, and then run off to hunt rabbits? He's also gone."
"Indeed, this is her fate. She is destined to bring bad luck to her relatives. The Hu family is unlucky for taking her in."
"Yeah. Maybe the Hu family will be the next to suffer."
Old Mrs. Hu just spat at the group of gossipers.
A sinister plan suddenly popped up in Xia Liang's calm mind.
"Grandpa Feng, it doesn't matter if they don't take me and my sister in. This house and land originally belonged to our second branch. If they want it, just give me the money to buy it out. I'm going to take my sister and leave here. Even if I have to become beggars, I won't bother them."
At this time, my aunt, who had not yet recovered, started to shout, "You took all our money yesterday, and you still want more money? How much is your shabby house worth? Today, while we are here, you must return the money you took yesterday."
Erya followed up by shouting, "That's the money we want back. When we divided the family property, you didn't give us a cent of what my mother earned, and you didn't give us the two acres of land either. Otherwise, how could we be so poor that we couldn't even eat enough every day?"
Although everyone in the village is not living well, Hu Laoer's family is even more miserable than the poor ones. It is estimated that there is no family poorer than his in the surrounding area.
When the villagers heard this, they thought, "So that's how it is. Hu Lao Er is also a fool. He only knows how to beat his wife and daughter after drinking. He is a coward in the Hu family..."
At this time, Xia Liang took out a stick and gave the sharp and mean aunt a look. The aunt immediately shut up. Who knows if this madman will go to their house again tonight to cause violence? That look is really scary, as if it can eat people.
Domestic violence is a hereditary behavior.
Fortunately, the village head, Grandpa Feng, was a relatively fair person. He asked the Hu family to pay for and help bury Hu Laoer in their ancestral tomb, and did not ask Daya and the others to pay back the money.
As for whether to take her in or not, Xia Liang no longer cared. She only hoped that the village head could find a way to allow her and her sisters to set up their own home.
In fact, this is just a stopgap measure.
Next, of course, she would take complete revenge on the Hu family's old house, and then take Erya and Sanya to Jiangzhou to seek refuge with her sister Luo Hong and the others.
