Chapter 423: Just two money-losing items! Just sell them!
"Master, is this old woman causing trouble here? I will take her down and interrogate her thoroughly. I will definitely find out who is behind this."
Lin Feng saluted towards Mu Qingqing, raised his right hand into the air and was about to give orders to the Flying Tiger Army.
Mu Qingqing interrupted Lin Feng's order and said, "General Lin, you don't have to do that for now! Let's listen to what this young man has to say about this old man first!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng quickly arranged for the Flying Tiger Army to maintain order at the entrance of Yu Ming Xuan and asked the onlookers to stand ten steps away before stopping to watch.
Ye Nanli, Nangong Qi and others had also gotten off the carriage at this time, and Lao Ma drove the carriage to the backyard of the teahouse.
Zuo San, Zuo Si and Ye Feng each moved a large square chair for Mu Qingqing, Ye Nanli and Nangong Qi to sit on.
Su Yunhao went to get information from the owner of Yu Ming Xuan to see if he could find out some information that others didn't know.
The young man had never seen so many important figures before, and his calves could not help but tremble.
Mu Qingqing said gently, "My dear, don't be afraid. If you tell a good story, I will reward you handsomely! If you tell a bad story, it's okay. Just think of it as an ordinary story for everyone to hear. I will still reward you!"
The young man finally calmed himself down, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Mu Qingqing and Ye Nanli.
"I, Wang An, greet the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess!"
He kowtowed three times to Lin Feng who was standing beside him, "I, Wang An, greet General Lin."
Mu Qingqing gave Zuo Si a look, indicating that he should help Wang An up from the ground.
After Wang An stood up, he glared at Aunt Mei, who was still crawling on the ground, with resentment in his eyes, and began to tell the story in a serious manner.
"My Lord, I am Wang An. I live in Meihua Town outside the city. I just moved to Meihua Town a few years ago and live next door to Aunt Mei's house."
As Wang An spoke, he pointed his index finger at Aunt Mei on the ground.
Aunt Mei, who was crawling on the ground, was gasping like a dead fish, and her arms were pinned behind her back, so she was unable to resist.
"When I moved there, Uncle Mei was no longer alive, so Aunt Mei was in charge. There was only one son, Mei Wenhua, in the family. He was weak and incompetent. He had little knowledge but high aspirations. He applied for the exam every year, but failed every year. Until this year, he hadn't even passed the exam to become a scholar."
"Nonsense! It's not that my son failed to pass the exam to become a scholar, it's just that he married a jinx, which caused my brother Hua to fail every year and fail to pass the exam to become a scholar."
When Aunt Mei, who was crawling on the ground, heard Wang An saying bad things about her beloved son, she immediately raised her head and glared at Wang An fiercely, as if she had a blood feud with him.
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows towards Zuo Si and glanced at Aunt Mei with cold eyes.
Zuo Si's foot pressed on Aunt Mei's back and immediately increased the force, instantly bringing Aunt Mei into close contact with the ground.
"Woooooo~~"
Aunt Mei shook her head, which was pressed to the ground by Zuo San, and cursed loudly.
But it didn't have much effect. The people around could only hear intermittent whining sounds and couldn't hear what she was cursing.
"No one in the neighborhood has anything bad to say about Aunt Mei's daughter-in-law! She is capable, has a good temper, and is very filial to her mother-in-law. All the money she earns from her work is given to Mei Wenhua and Aunt Mei, who keep the house clean inside and out. But the mother and son are still not satisfied. Aunt Mei tortures her daughter-in-law day and night, asking her to get up before dawn to do housework, and making her do this and that all day long. She won't let her go to bed until the 15th of the lunar month at night."
"Yes, Wang An is right. I often see Sister Mei going up the mountain to collect grass for pigs in the middle of the night. She wears ragged clothes full of patches all year round!"
At this time, another middle-aged man who looked honest and simple came out, stood beside Wang An and testified for Wang An.
"But even so, the mother and son are still not satisfied with Sister Mei! Mei Wenhua would beat Sister Mei up at every turn! Don't look at him as being unable to lift anything, but when he beats Sister Mei, he is very strong! Sister Mei is often beaten by Mei Wenhua until her body is covered with bruises, and she dares not cry in front of them."
Wang An often saw the gentle and virtuous Mrs. Mei being beaten by the inhumane Mei Wenhua. He wanted to go up and help several times, but was pulled back by his own wife.
She said that if Wang An came forward to help her, it would be tantamount to harming her!
After helping, Sister Mei will face more severe revenge and beatings from Mei Wenhua!
This kind of situation has happened before. A kind-hearted young man from next door stepped forward to help Mrs. Mei and beat up Mei Wenhua.
As a result, that night, Sister Mei was beaten almost to death by Mei Wenhua.
After that, even if people in the town saw Sister Mei being bullied by Aunt Mei and her son, they did not dare to step forward to help her, for fear that she would make the situation worse.
“This isn’t the worst!”
Wang An's eyes were bloodshot due to his excessive anger. "Some time ago, Mei Wenhua mortgaged his house to a gambling house and bet on the Sixth Princess..."
When Wang An said this, he looked a little shocked: It didn't seem right to tell the person concerned that she would die sooner or later...
Mu Qingqing chuckled to show that she understood, and motioned for him to continue.
"As a result, some time ago, the gambling house came to collect the house. In order to delay time, Mei Wenhua actually mortgaged Sister Mei to the gambling house, and the gambling house arrested her on the spot."
When the ignorant onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but get angry: "What a beast!"
"Is this a cultured person?! Pah! He is simply worse than a pig or a dog!"
"Why didn't God take this scum away long ago..."
……
Wang An waited until the onlookers had finished cursing before he continued, "This isn't the worst! Two days later, the gambling house came again to take the house. Mei Wenhua was not at home, so this time it was Aunt Mei who stepped in and sold the two granddaughters who hadn't even reached marriageable age to the brothel!"
"Bah! They are just two money-losing goods! Just sell them, what's the big deal! It's a pity that the selling price is not high enough to cover Hua Ge'er's foreign debt! Otherwise, Hua Ge'er would not have..."
Aunt Mei, who had just recovered a little, heard the people around her pointing fingers and saying bad things about herself and Hua Geer, and she defended herself loudly.
The people watching had never seen such a shameless person. He sold his own granddaughter and complained that the price was not enough!
Whether you sell your granddaughters to a wealthy family as maids or to a pawnbroker, at least the two granddaughters are still innocent girls.
You actually sold your own granddaughter, who has not even reached the age of marriage, to such a lowly place as a brothel!
It’s really unbearable for uncle and aunt!
The kind-hearted and upright people watching could not bear it anymore, so they threw the good stuff (rotten vegetable roots, rotten eggs, stinky socks...) that were originally meant for the illegitimate sons of King Xiaoyao directly onto Aunt Mei.
A few clever guys squeezed forward and kicked her directly.
Zuo San and Zuo Si gave these righteous men some relief at the right time, allowing them to kick Aunt Mei's vital parts with their feet 100%.
"Ah, hey! You bastards, what are you doing? Wuuwuwu..."
Just as Aunt Mei was about to start cursing, Zuo San kicked her back to the ground.
