Chapter 182: Chapter 183 Fight Once Every Ti_1
Qinghe said, “Then how can you be sure she’s here?”
“She’s definitely here, there’s nowhere else left. Haven’t I searched everywhere else?”
Qinghe’s attitude also hardened, “How presumptuous! What rabble! Do you think you can just co and search as you please? Do you really think I’m easy to talk to?”
Mrs. Chui was ready to risk everything and said, “It must be those two, the mother and daughter, hiding her. Today, I must find her!”
“This is my house, you cannot be so unruly here! Servants! Throw these people out!” Qinghe exclaid fiercely.
Muniang was inwardly cheering, and she really had to say it, when Qinghe got tough, she seed quite formidable.
Mrs. Chui was also desperate, “No, that won’t do! My sister is definitely here, definitely hidden by that little bitch, Qiao Muniang! You shaless little whore, speak up! Where have you hidden Lin Kexin? If you don’t speak up, I’ll flay you alive!”
Muniang watched her making a scene with cold eyes, heh, it was really quite funny. When she first ca in, she had been so warm and enthusiastic. In the ti it took to drink one cup of tea, she had started hurling insults.
Qinghe glanced at Muniang and winked at her. In a calm voice, Muniang said, “Lady, this is a real injustice. Is our house the kind of place where anyone can co and go as they please? I would never dare to hide soone in our house, absolutely not. She’s so insistent on searching our house for soone; it might very well be a decoy, maybe she’s planning to pilfer sothing good on the sly.”
During her talk, she cast a cold glance at Mrs. Chui, who shivered inexplicably, wondering why Qiao Muniang’s gaze was so piercing.
At these words, Qinghe beca furious, “That’s how it is! I wondered why you kept eyeing the ornants in the house, so you wanted to steal sothing! And to claim you’re looking for soone! As if our house is a place where you can hide people at will! Servants, just throw them out directly!”
With Qinghe’s order, several servants rushed in. Regardless of how Mrs. Chui and Lin Yang shouted and protested, they were dragged out straightaway. Mrs. Chui clung desperately to the table leg, wailing loudly, “No, no! We truly need to find soone! We must find them!”
Their family had received betrothal gifts, after all, and that old man’s family had money, and they were quite influential in Jinyang Town. The wedding was only a few days away, and if they couldn’t produce the person by then, their family would be targeted by that old man for sure!
They just couldn’t get this person out, the servants looked helplessly at Muniang, who then said, “So people just don’t learn their lesson unless you beat it into them, Lady. It would save a lot of trouble if you just beat them out with a fire poker.”
Mrs. Chui glowered at Qiao Muniang with hatred, “Look at you, you shaless little harlot! How dare you treat your elders like this, is there no respect for the elderly in your eyes anymore! It’s utterly unfilial!”
But Li Qinghe directly ordered, “Qingya, bring the fire poker! Beat them ruthlessly!”
“Yes!”
At this, Mrs. Chui’s face went pale with fear, and she hastily let go. The servants did not delay, dragging the people out and dumping them at the doorway. The door closed with a loud “bang.”
Mrs. Chui was so filled with rage, and she cursed and shouted for a long ti at the door. But Muniang’s ho was in a remote location with no one around except for Madam Liu’s family, and Muniang had already warned her to ignore any commotion.
So, Mrs. Chui cursed and shouted to no avail, with no one to pay her any heed. Eventually, she felt it pointless and walked away, cursing under her breath.
The two of them didn’t know many people in Chatu Town, and since they didn’t even have a place to stay, they didn’t linger and went straight back to their ho in Jinyang Town. The whole journey was maddeningly frustrating.
Lin Yang was feeling anxious inside, “What are we going to do? That big house surely won’t let us search for anyone, but the wedding date is just a few days away. If Kexin is really hiding there, we won’t be able to make a move!”
Mrs. Chui was also annoyed and grabbed Lin Yang’s ear fiercely, “Look at you, good for nothing! Can’t even keep an eye on one person! I told you earlier to watch her closely and not let her run off, and now that trouble has arisen, what do you say we do? If the Zheng Family cos knocking on our door asking for her, and we can’t hand her over, do you think they’ll let us off easily? Do you think the Zheng Family is easy to deal with, that anyone in Jinyang Town would dare to offend them!”
Lin Yang winced in pain, “I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong! Right now, we truly have nowhere to search!”
Mrs. Chui snorted coldly, “Unacceptable! We have to go there again tomorrow. We can’t just let this matter go; we must find that person. Otherwise, we both are done for! Lin Kexin, that little wretch, dares to run away; I’ll beat her to death when I get my hands on her! Might as well break her legs; it’s just asking for trouble to keep her around!”
Listening to this, Lin Yang still felt so compassion for his sister and said, “If we cripple her, Mr. Zheng would bla us too, who would want to marry a useless person?”
Mrs. Chui glared at him, “What? You still pity your sister? At this critical ti, you dare to oppose ?!”
Lin Yang, who was afraid of his wife, quickly responded, “No, no, I’m just worried that if she’s crippled, Mr. Zheng would be unhappy.”
Mrs. Chui finally let it go, cursing, “Whether she’s crippled or not can be decided after we find her! Right now, we don’t even have a trace of her!”

After Muniang’s family had driven Lin Yang and Mrs. Chui away, Qingya peered through the crack of the door and watched the couple leave before running back to Muniang, “Lady, they’re gone!”
Muniang nodded, and Mrs. Lin then ca out with Lin Kexin. They had seen the whole situation clearly from behind the screen. They had anticipated it, but facing such ugly behavior still chilled their hearts.
Mrs. Lin’s last bit of hope for her brother vanished when she saw him indulge his wife in mistreating Muniang and Lin Kexin.
“Yang’er, how did you beco like this?” Mrs. Lin’s tone was filled with disappointnt.
Lin Kexin started crying in anger, “Ever since he got married, he’s been like this! He doesn’t care about
at all. Whatever Mrs. Chui says, that’s what he does, even if Mrs. Chui abuses him, he takes it all passively!”
Mrs. Lin said angrily, “He doesn’t even stop the selling of his own sister, he really has changed! Today we’re lucky you thought ahead and had Qinghe pretend to be the lady of the house, otherwise, if they knew this house was ours, they would surely have made a scene again.”
Mrs. Lin felt disgusted when she thought of how Mrs. Chui’s face twisted upon finding out Muniang was but a servant, and what chilled her to the bone was that even her brother, whom she had always thought kind, endlessly shook his head and claid he had no money when they asked him to redeem them, as if he was afraid of being embroiled in serious trouble!
Muniang quickly consoled her, “Mother, don’t be angry. Why should our money be given to others? Especially those who didn’t lift a finger when we were in trouble. Not to ntion they don’t know we have money, even if they did, I wouldn’t give them a single coin! Besides, we’ll protect Aunt together; we won’t let Uncle harm her again.”
Lin Kexin said, “They’ll surely co again. They’ve already taken money from the Zheng Family. If they can’t produce a person, the Zheng Family won’t let them off easily. So, they definitely won’t just let this go.”
Qinghe couldn’t stand such people either and said indignantly, “What’s there to fear? Let’s just send them packing each ti they co. I want to see what they’re really capable of!”
