Chapter 129: Chapter 129 The Mouse
“Alright, I’ll listen to the missus,” Big Bull said with resignation, as Xuexue tugged on his clothes.
“Xuexue, are you hurt?” Madam Xie also ran over anxiously to check her wrist. The scare had nearly killed her, but thankfully Big Bull was there, and they had narrowly escaped disaster.
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury. But what about you, mother? Are you okay?” Xuexue had seen her spitting blood. If she had sustained internal injuries, that would be troubleso.
“Mother’s fine too, just took a fall and hit my mouth. It will heal in a few days.”
“Oh.” Only then did Xuexue feel relieved.
Butcher Yu was flung by Big Bull into a fish pond far away. The water in the pond was stagnant, left unchanged for years. Plus, the villagers often disposed of dead chickens and mice there.
Thrown into the fish pond without warning, the disoriented Butcher Yu didn’t even know where he was. Instinctively, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of the foul-slling water. Driven by the instinct to survive, he dog-paddled, drenched and bedraggled like a soaked hen, until he clambered out of the pond in total disgrace.
Feeling both cold and frightened, Butcher Yu didn’t dare to cause further trouble at the old residence and decided to lead his similarly disheveled cronies out of the village, limping and defeated, prepared to make their way ho.
“Alas! Big Brother Yu, I truly feel indignant for you. You spent so much silver, not only did you not get the wife, but you also ended up beaten. There’s no justice in this,” one strong man complained, rubbing a bruise on his cheek with an angry look on his face.
“What can we do? The little bitch has such a formidable Plague God protecting her, who would dare to provoke her? It would simply be seeking death,” the man with a scar on his face said.
“That’s right.”
As Butcher Yu rubbed his chin in contemplation, the more he thought, the angrier he got. Why should he, after spending silver, be beaten ti and ti again? He blad Concubine Auntie Sun for setting such a trap for him. He didn’t dare provoke Xuexue, the little ghost, but why couldn’t he take out his anger on the Mo family?
With that thought, he stopped and said, “Brothers, let’s not go.” After saying that, he turned around and headed back toward the village.
The strong n looked at each other, feeling reluctant to follow Butcher Yu back to the village to provoke Xuexue, knowing that such a powerful character was protecting her. Going back would be a suicide mission.
After a few steps, he looked back and saw that they were all standing still, looking timid. Butcher Yu beca furious and pointed at them, yelling, “All of you, little cowards! Normally you’re all bullish, bullying n and won alike. But when you face a tough nut, you turn into turtles hiding in their shells?”
“Just think of us as turtles hiding in our shells then.”
One of the strong n said dejectedly with a resigned tone, better to be a coward than to be beaten to death.
“We’re not going to the little bitch’s house; we’re going to settle the score with that bitch, Concubine Auntie Sun,” Butcher Yu had to clarify, and besides, with that man there, even if he had the guts of a barrel, he wouldn’t dare to provoke her.
“Oh, is that so? Hey! Big Brother Yu, you should’ve said so earlier,” the strong n suddenly realized, instantly reinvigorated.
And so, the group of n once again made their grand return to the village heading straight for the Mo family’s place…
Auntie Sun fled back to the Mo family in fear, worrying that Butcher Yu would co to settle the score with her after suffering such a loss. It was only when she heard from the villagers that they had left the village that she finally relaxed.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…!”
The main gate of the Mo family was being pounded fiercely.
Old Lady Mo, who happened to be in the courtyard, went to open the door, asking with impatience as she walked, “Who is it? Pounding so hard, are you trying to knock the house down?”
