The villagers of Xujia Village had heard about the fact that Luo Fengtang, the great general who protected the country, and Yang Daan, the number one scholar, came out of Wanghai County a few years ago.

In addition, Xu Dakui and the Lu family recently recognized their daughter, and the daughter was actually married by this prominent adoptive family. Da'an personally came to visit Xu Dakui, the father-in-law, and the Lu family even rushed to tell each other, and the momentum was greater than anyone else's.

.

Xu Dakui has been walking in the village recently, his back straighter than anyone else's, and he doesn't even pay attention to the uprightness of Xujia Village.

So now everyone has no doubts about Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang's self-reporting and identifying themselves.

"This is five hundred coins. I will buy some food for the children and the elderly during the Chinese New Year."

"Xu Dakui maliciously got my brother drunk with wine. My brother vomited blood and he refused to save me. He beat my brother and sister. This is a great disrespect to the imperial officials."

"Now he has fled in fear of crime. If the villagers see his traces, don't be alarmed first. Go to this place in the county immediately to find a man named Xu Mang to report the matter. If Xu Dakui is caught later, there will be a heavy reward!"

"If someone deliberately fails to report the information, or conceals it, once found out, the family member will be put in jail, and the future of the children will be damaged!"

For more than 20 households, Yang Ruoqing's words were all the same, with almost no missing words.

When these people first met a big shot like Luo Fengtang, they were all in awe and fear.

Especially the few villagers who also participated in the drinking ceremony were even more panicked.

But Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang only targeted Xu Dakui, which made them lucky.

In addition, seeing the five hundred coins falling from the sky, this combination of kindness and power, do they have any other choice?

Therefore, some happily accepted the money, determined to provide information before others discovered Xu Dakui and get more silver rewards.

Some of them are related to Xu Dakui, and they don't want to offend Xu Dakui out of affection, but they don't want to be implicated by Xu Dakui.

So I just hope that Xu Dakui will never return to the village. If he does return to the village... Hey, then don't blame them for killing their relatives out of righteousness!

…

After the matter was settled, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang left Xujiacun overnight.

Their original intention was to bribe them to be informants so that they could provide information, but they didn't expect that a brave man would be found with a lot of money.

Many villagers, stimulated by money, are no longer content to sit at home and wait for Xu Dakui to show up.

Except for the elderly and children who stayed at home to prepare for the New Year, almost all the adults brought dry food and water and went out spontaneously to look for Xu Dakui.

They planned to take the initiative to find Xu Dakui.

Of course, they still kept it secret from each other, using the excuse of going out to buy new year's goods or visiting relatives and friends.

Everyone is competing secretly, trying to find Xu Dakui's whereabouts before others do, so that they can get the big reward.

Make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life, give it a try here!

Of course, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were not aware of the changes they had brought to Xujiacun after their departure.

At breakfast the next morning, Daan was able to sit at the table and eat two small steamed buns in addition to porridge.

He has never had a big appetite, but to be able to eat so much shows that he is recovering well.

Her complexion also improved a little. Yang Ruoqing saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart.

I just hope that all the troubles and bad luck my brother has had can be vented because of this experience a year ago. When the new year comes, everything goes well, good health, and safe travels!

"Let's get on the carriage after we've eaten and drank. We should be able to get home by the afternoon," Yang Ruoqing said.

Daan smiled and nodded.

Xiaohua raised her hand and touched her face. Although the swelling had subsided, it was still a little red, and the damaged corner of her eye was scarred and still recovering.

Xiaohua's eyes showed worry...

Yang Ruoqing said: "The matter has come to this, and we can't hide it. Don't worry about it. It's better for us to explain it to our parents openly and honestly."

Xiaohua smiled bitterly.

Yang Ruoqing added: "If you lie, you can indeed cover up what happened this time, but one lie will be covered by another lie. When the time comes, the lies will come one after another, and it will be very tiring."

"And when the lie is exposed, what you lose is the trust of your family in you. At that time, no matter what you do, your family will not be able to help but worry,"

"Even if you really do everything well, they will habitually think that you only report good things and not bad things."

"So, we must tell the truth!"

After listening to Yang Ruoqing's solemn words, Xiaohua fell silent.

Luo Fengtang was the first to respond: "What your sister says makes sense, please listen more."

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him, her eyes wanting to smile.

Can you stop protecting me like this everywhere? You're so shy!

Da'an also immediately expressed his position: "Well, my brother-in-law is right, and I also think my sister's analysis is reasonable, so let's tell the truth. This matter will have to be faced sooner or later."

"Xiaohua, don't be too burdened. Your biological father is your biological father, and you are you. Your parents will not express their anger at you, they will only feel more sorry for you!"

Xiaohua looked guilty, "I don't dare to expect my parents to love me more. I just hope to draw a clear line with the Xu family from now on, and we will never interact with each other again."

"Not only that," Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaohua.

"You and Da'an suffered this crime for no reason. You can't let it go like this. Your biological father must come over to make amends. He must learn a lesson!" Yang Ruoqing said again.

Xiaohua smiled bitterly, "When I think of his fierce look at that time, I tremble all over, as if I was back when I was a child."

"That's how he beat me and my mother. If he hadn't been so fierce, my mother wouldn't have been mad to death by him, and I wouldn't have been too scared to stay in that home..."

Xiaohua's tears fell and her shoulders shook slightly.

Yang Ruoqing knew that Xiaohua had childhood shadow.

No matter how powerful a person becomes as an adult, any shadow of childhood will be hidden deep in the heart.

It will suddenly appear at certain times, or when she dreams back in the middle of the night, or when she is sick and fragile, destroying her current toughness to pieces, and allowing her to return to the fragile child she once was...

So every time Xiaohua talks about Xu Dakui, this little person who in Yang Ruoqing's eyes is like a flea, like a bug that can be easily crushed to death, is so terrifying in Xiaohua's eyes, like a mountain that weighs her down and makes her unable to breathe.

.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and held Xiao Hua's hand, "Don't be afraid, things are different now. You are Daan's wife now, our younger brother and sister, and a member of our family. We will protect you, so don't be afraid of anything!"
