My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 43 Travel Light and Run!

The horrors of super-giant children are something ancient people couldn't understand, but modern people do.

Cheng Ruoan had previously thought that if she couldn't get rid of the Xia family no matter what, she would beat Xia Yaozu into submission.

This would prevent him from bullying the girls in the group, or even the women.

If it's a super-male baby, then we'll go our separate ways.

The group finally emerged from the mountains, still behind the tea stall.

But Cheng Ruoan didn't see the tea stall.

Just as I was wondering, I saw Shao Yang slap his forehead and say, "When I came out to find Si Silang, Mr. and Mrs. Qian were preparing to set up their stall. I asked some elders to lead a team into the city to report to the authorities, but Mr. Qian pulled me aside and said, 'Don't report to the authorities. Reporting to the magistrate of Lancheng County is not a good thing.'"

I then asked my mother for some silver and gave it to him, asking him to help find a place to settle our people.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ruoan slapped his forehead.

"How could I forget? I was saying I had to hurry out and stop the people who were going to report to the authorities! I suspect those bandits are colluding with the officials of Huilan City."

As a result, Xia Yaozu, this exceptionally talented child, drew her attention away.

fortunately.

Her brother-in-law, by sheer accident, entrusted his family to Boss Qian.

"Third Sister-in-law, how did you know they were colluding?" Si Silang remained silent the whole way.

Since they came out, Si Niu hasn't woken up yet, but she's still thinking about being Cheng Ruo'an's straight man, which shows how much she values ​​her.

Cheng Ruoan then mentioned that she had seen many brothel women serving bandits in the mountain stronghold, but there were no traces of women living in the stronghold. Therefore, she guessed that they were all recently sent from Huilan City to "work".

Si Shaoheng gave her an approving look: "Quite smart."

But then the tone shifted abruptly, becoming that of a dean of students, "So why did you forget something so important?"

Cheng Ruoan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

Too many people.

Even her brother-in-law and fourth brother, who were quite convinced of her abilities, couldn't explain why Xia Yaozu would inevitably commit violent crimes in the future.

"I was so terrified by the scenes of murder and arson in the village that I forgot about it."

"Really? Didn't you start that fire? Didn't you instigate the fight between the refugees and the bandits? Were you scared?" Si Shaoheng was going to settle scores later for her not following the plan.

Cheng Ruoan was speechless, and awkwardly changed the subject, "Brother-in-law, where did Boss Qian settle everyone? Let's go find them first."

"He said it was difficult to bring the group into the village, so he could only take everyone to rest at that dilapidated temple in front of the village."

"Okay, let's go." Cheng Ruoan was a little disappointed.

She thought she could go into that village and see if, as she guessed, the villagers were secretly mining.

When they arrived at the dilapidated temple, everyone was there, just as expected.

The Mr. and Mrs. Qian set up their tea stall equipment in the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, making it convenient for people to drink tea while waiting for others.

"My son! My third son! You're finally back! I was so worried about you..." Zhao was the oldest, and her eyesight was the best.

She spotted Cheng Ruoan and Si Shaoheng from afar and immediately turned and pounced on them.

She pushed Cheng Ruoan aside and pulled her precious son around, looking him up, down, left, and right.

Cheng Ruoan rolled her eyes and walked over, supporting each other.

But the children's parents also came anxiously, and like Zhao, they all focused on examining their favorite child.

Cheng's mother and Cheng Ruotong naturally surrounded Cheng Ruoan, Si Xin, and Si Nian to watch.

Their complete impartiality towards Cheng Ruoan and her two children made them stand out as particularly unusual.

Xia was only focused on Da Hu, ignoring Da Niu and Da Hua, and didn't even notice that Da Ya was still unconscious.

Si Dalang noticed it and anxiously picked up Daya, asking Zhao to check on his little girl.

But he didn't even notice that Da Hua's head was wrapped in blood-soaked gauze.

After the uproar caused by Li's family trying to take her away, Li and Si Erlang had been pretending to be meek for a long time, but now they were crying loudly while holding Ershuan and Erzhu.

Even they, who have two sons but no daughters, clearly care more about Erzhu.

This scene made Cheng Ruoan feel distressed.

Not to mention the large flowers.

Dahua clung tightly to her, hiding behind her, tears welling up in her eyes.

Cheng Ruoan led her to the middle of the Cheng family members. "Mother, eldest sister, Dahua has a head injury that is bleeding. I just bandaged it up a bit. Could you please take a look at her?"

"Oh dear, you're bleeding? This is terrible! Come here, let Grandma Cheng take a look."

"Cheng..." Da Hua was pulled over by Cheng's mother, and tears instantly fell from her eyes. She wanted to greet her politely, but she really couldn't bring herself to say "Grandma".

When Cheng's mother looked at her and then at the Si family's main branch, she felt that the child must be extremely aggrieved and was already sobbing uncontrollably.

A pang of sadness gripped her heart, and she quickly grabbed Da Hua and pulled her aside.

Actually, Da Hua couldn't call her grandma not because her parents valued her younger brother more; she felt wronged.

It's because Cheng's mother really doesn't look like a grandmother.

Cheng's mother is only of this generation; she's only forty-two or forty-three years old now.

In addition, she knows how to make tofu, so she doesn't have to work in the fields. Her family's income is enough for her to live much better than the average country person. Therefore, you can't tell from her figure and appearance that she is already over forty.

Cheng Ruoan watched from afar as Xia Yaozu, who had fainted from injury, cried as if he had lost his parents. A cold smile crept across her face.

In the midst of the chaos, none of them knew that Xia Yaozu had been beaten so badly; they only thought that the boy Chaoxiong had been killed by bandits.

But once Xia Yaozu wakes up and the Xia family learns the truth, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause.

We need to split up and go our separate ways before the Xia family erupts.

Cheng Ruoan turned to look at Si Shaoheng, only to see him discussing something with his brother-in-law and Si Silang.

Just as she was about to go over, Si Shaoheng turned around as if by telepathy and their eyes met.

Cheng Ruoan winked at him, then gestured with her chin to the side.

Si Shaoheng made an OK sign with his hand at his side.

Si Nian, who was being thoroughly checked by her aunt for any injuries, saw this.

Si Nian:! ! !

Father is imitating Guanyin's hand gestures again!

The two walked to the side, and Si Shaoheng was the first to ask for money.

"Give me five hundred taels."

Cheng Ruoan: ? ?

She gasped, "Where would I get so much money?!"

"In the magistrate of Qingshan County's private treasury, under the boxes containing gold, there are anonymous silver notes."

Cheng Ruoan guessed what he was planning, and could only grumble as she took out money from her spatial storage: "What did you find out about this? You didn't even tell me."

She thought that the gold with the patterns printed on it, as well as the jewelry, would have to be remelted and recast before they could be used.

Unexpectedly, that corrupt official in Qingshan County had hidden so many silver notes.

There were three thousand taels of bearer notes in total, all in 100-tael notes, which were considered small denominations.

In addition, being anonymous makes it safe to use.

Cheng Ruoan gave the money and then saw Si Shaoheng give Si Silang one hundred taels of silver, telling him to go find Boss Qian and ask Boss Qian to take him to find a doctor.

The two younger children were inhaled with sleeping powder and are still unconscious. The parents are worried something bad might happen.

Meanwhile, Si Shaoheng told Shao Yang, who was fast on foot, to hurry back to Lancheng and buy two carriages. They couldn't go back into Lancheng, and they were also worried that some bandits might still have escaped and come back for revenge.

They could only travel light by carriage and hurry to the next city to resupply essential supplies.

Cheng Ruoan: "Hey, brother-in-law, wait a minute. Don't buy a horse-drawn carriage, buy a mule cart. No need to wait."

Si Shaoheng: "How did you know?"

Cheng Ruoan rolled her eyes at him, "This is the wisdom of a housewife, it's normal for a scholar like you not to know."

She saw it from the original owner's memories, of course.
