Chapter 69 I'm Cannon Fodder 12
Wang Xiue glared at Niu Genzhu on the ground with disgust and resentment, her face contorted as she roared:
"Don't push me! If you push me any further, I'll kill you, you beast..."
Her eyes truly revealed a hint of murderous intent; she genuinely hated Niu Genzhu to the extreme.
She had been working like a workhorse to take care of him and his two children, only to find out that they were planning to sell her children behind her back.
Almost there!
Almost, if it weren't for Xiaoxiao's cleverness, she wouldn't have made it back.
The thought of this made her so angry that she felt she could set the whole house on fire.
Niu Genzhu flinched in fright; in that instant, he truly felt Wang Xiue's murderous intent.
"You—you madman, you crazy woman..."
The second aunt and several other women in the house were also quite frightened. When they met Wang Xiue's gaze, they all looked away, not daring to meet her eyes.
"Get out of my way!"
Wang Xiue brandished the scissors, and several women quickly hid behind the wall.
"Auntie, will the villagers stop us?"
"Probably not. The police just arrested two people from the village, and everyone was terrified."
At this critical juncture, we dare not do anything out of line.
Normally, these people would definitely try to stop them.
Now is the perfect time; it's a good opportunity to leave the village.
Xiao Xiao nodded and held Dan Dan's hand tightly.
Egg looked terrified, large tears clinging to its eyelashes. Clueless, it held its sister's hand with one hand and its mother's trouser leg tightly with the other.
Wang Xiue walked out of the main room, and the onlookers in the courtyard watched her with curiosity.
Niu Genzhu's second uncle and several heads of his branch of the family arrived and blocked the courtyard.
The group stared at Wang Xiue with unfriendly expressions, hesitant to speak.
"If you also want to go to jail with that beast Niu Dabao, I'll grant your wish."
Wang Xiue pointed at them with scissors and scolded them.
She was actually a little scared.
But at this critical juncture, even the most ruthless are afraid of those who are willing to risk their lives.
You have to stand up for yourself before these kinsmen will back down.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, some of the people who were itching to make a move stopped.
The police arrested two people today, which has had a significant deterrent effect on them.
Wang Xiue thus smoothly left the home where she had lived for more than three years, with her two children and the bedding and clothes that came with her dowry.
Zhao Xiangqin had already parked her cart outside.
She went over to help Xiu'e put the bedding and clothes into the carriage, and then picked up the two children and put them into the carriage.
His man scratched his head in the crowd, opening his mouth several times as if to speak, but then swallowed back.
His wife has a bad temper and is very domineering; he doesn't want to be scolded by her in public—it would be too embarrassing.
"Xiu'e, why don't you reconsider...?"
My second aunt chased after me, her face full of anxiety as she tried to persuade me.
Wang Xiue, with a cold face, ignored them completely and pulled the cart with Zhao Xiangqin, heading out of the village.
Niu Genzhu chased after him angrily, standing on tiptoe and shouting fiercely but weakly:
"Wang Xiue, you vicious woman, if you have the guts to leave, don't come back. If you do come back, I'll beat you out too, and I'll see who will dare to want you in the future."
Xiao Xiao glanced back at him with dissatisfaction, and muttered angrily:
"Only a fool would come back."
Wang Xiue was only focused on talking to Zhao Xiangqin and discussing her plans, and pretended not to hear what Niu Genzhu said.
In the alley, people were talking about it, and many adults and children followed Wang Xiue to watch the excitement.
"Xiaoxiao, you're leaving. Will you come back?"
"They probably won't be coming back."
Xiao Xiao turned her head, holding onto the carriage, and looked at her friend who had asked the question.
"Oh!"
Blackhead and Iron Egg both let out an "oh" at the same time, clearly somewhat disappointed.
"If you miss me, come to town and visit me."
"Then I'll ask my mom to take me with her when she goes to the market."
"Me too, me too..."
The group of friends chattered away as they escorted the children to the large stone bridge outside the village before finally stopping.
After the onlookers dispersed from the courtyard.
The heads of Niu Genzhu's household stayed behind to discuss countermeasures.
"Second Uncle, what do you think we should do? That vicious woman Wang Xiue ruined Da Bao and now she's gone. I'm not reconciled. What will become of Da Bao?"
"Yes! And Egg too, how can we let her take it with her?"
"That's right! We can let go of that burden, but Dandan is a child of the Niu family, and we have to get him back."
Uncle Niu took a few puffs of his pipe, smacked his lips, and slowly said:
"So what do you want to do? I heard from the village officials that it wasn't her who went to the police, but the woman that Sanguai bought gave Dabao away."
You too, are you just bored?
How could I talk about selling children in front of my eldest child?
"I'm innocent! I didn't say that! That bitch is talking nonsense. I never said that."
Niu Genzhu looked aggrieved.
Uncle Niu sighed. Whether he believed his nephew or not, the deed was done, and it was too late to say anything more.
He continued:
"You've misjudged us, we've all misjudged us."
That little brat your wife brought along isn't just any ordinary kid; that girl is something else entirely.
I heard from the village officials that she tricked the woman into coming to the village and sold her to Niu Sanguai for 500 yuan.
When the police went to collect the stolen money, the girl refused to hand it over no matter what.
The police were ultimately powerless to stop it.
"Oh!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this, as they had assumed that Da Bao had sold the child to human traffickers.
When the police came to investigate, they happened to come across Niu Sanguai buying and selling women, so they investigated him as well.
They were watching the commotion from outside the police line, so naturally they didn't know the details.
However, the village officials still managed to find out the details of the case from a police station chief they knew.
"Second Uncle, tell me, what exactly happened?"
Uncle Niu took a puff of his pipe, his eyes gleaming, and said:
"I've lived for over seventy years and I've only ever heard of child traffickers abducting children, never of a trafficked child turning the tables and selling the traffickers."
As he spoke, he recounted in detail the information he had heard from the village officials.
The group of people were stunned and speechless for a long time.
"My goodness! Hehe!"
"This girl is amazing, amazing... she's incredible."
Niu Genzhu was dumbfounded after hearing this.
He stared blankly, speechless for a long time.
After praising Niu Xiaoxiao, Uncle Niu turned to look at his nephew and said with a look of regret:
"Root Pillar! Oh! What can I say about you?"
That girl is destined for great things!
If you treat her well and raise her to adulthood.
When she gets ahead in the future, how could she not be filial to you and take care of Da Bao and Juan Zi? You're so foolish!
And another thing! Those eggs are your seed, and you don't want them anymore.
Niu Genzhu hung his head and sighed, saying:
“Me? Me, Second Uncle, you said Da Bao is already eighteen, and Dan Dan is only two years old. I would have to work for another twenty years to raise him. How could I afford to raise him?”
"What am I supposed to say about you?"
Uncle Niu looked at his nephew with a disappointed expression, clearly angered by his son's lack of ambition.
Niu Genzhu looked dejected.
"Then...what should I do about my eyes?"
"Don't worry about Da Bao for now."
I heard from the cadres that this was Da Bao's first time doing this, and he had no prior record.
And the child has returned safely, and will probably only be sentenced to one or two years, and will be released soon.
It won't delay my getting married.
You'd better try to win your wife back. Without her, how will you manage? Who will do the farm work?
"this...."
How could he possibly save face? He had just said some harsh words.
