Chapter 325: Miserable Suffering
What caught his eyes was a pair of crystal clear crystal cups. Although Chen Guanghui had seen some of the world, he knew that such things were only used by true aristocrats. Ordinary people would treat them as heirlooms if they got them.
Master just gave it to him like that?
What he didn't know was that Song An Ning's mall could buy a top-quality crystal cup for more than ten taels of silver. He thought it was obtained from Master Pan and was extremely precious.
Carefully placing the cup on the soft cloth, he opened a wooden box inside the box. The contents shocked him so much that he almost fell off the stool.
"Hundred-year-old wild ginseng! This thing is priceless in the market. Even medical clinics and pharmacies are very stingy with it. But Master actually gave me a whole root."
She took out the gifts seemingly nonchalantly, but they were actually carefully prepared. Thinking of this, Chen Guanghui was deeply moved. If Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu were not here, he would have shed a few tears.
In addition to the crystal cup and ginseng, the box also contained various Ganoderma lucidum and precious herbs, all of which were found by Song Anning when she was working in the mountains. She was afraid that Chen Guanghui would not recognize them, so she wrote a note to introduce them.
Looking at these things, Chen Guanghui suddenly felt that the thank-you gift he gave was so mediocre. Even if he took out any one of the medicinal herbs here, it would be priceless, not to mention the pair of crystal cups. Even if they were placed in the entire Linhai Town, there would not be many pairs of them.
Chen Guanghui was in tears on the boat, while the Song family had already packed up their daily necessities. At this moment, Wang Ying'er was chatting with the women of the village under the banyan tree with Song Anning.
"Ying'er, how did you give birth to a good child like Aning? Look at your big house, it's so magnificent."
"Yes, even we benefited from it. We made money with Aning, and we even ate sea cucumbers and abalone on the day of the beam raising ceremony. This life is worth it."
Wang Ying'er's face was full of pride, but her words were very humble.
"This girl has always had a strong sense of purpose. Once she sets her mind to something, even ten oxen can't change her mind. She just happens to come up with a few things.
But she's been really busy lately. A thirteen-year-old girl has to think about so many things every day, and I feel bad for her."
"Yes, Aning is not an ordinary child. There is nothing wrong with what he says or does. The other children in my family put together cannot compare to Aning."
After a few pleasantries, they started gossiping about other people as usual. Song Anning was quietly eating melon on the side when the system suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Ding ding, ding ding, dozens of villagers from Liujia Village are coming to Banyue Village along the riverside path."
"?"
During this period, they were busy cleaning the well and confessing to the gods, and they were relatively honest. What happened today?
"Master, a few children are coming over here with baskets of duck eggs. They're almost at the village entrance. The adults from Liujia Village are hiding in the woods next to the cowshed, watching them secretly.
Those kids were dressed in rags, with tear marks on their faces, and they came here to play the victim?"
"That's right. Every family in Liujia Village has dozens of ducks. If we don't collect duck eggs, we won't be able to sell thousands of them every day.
If it's hot today, it won't be fresh after ten days, which is really annoying for them."
"Hmph! Master, don't forgive them. What were you thinking when you harmed people? If any villagers had tried to drink the water at that time, they would have been poisoned."
As Xiangxiang finished speaking, a few ragged children dodged the patrol and quietly entered the village. When they saw so many women under the banyan tree, their eyes lit up and they cried out pitifully:
"Aunts, please buy some duck eggs... We can't even afford to eat at home. We're so hungry..."
"Which village are you from? Who are you looking for in Banyue Village?"
The children were stunned by the question. Before they set off, the village head told them that the people in Banyue Village were kind-hearted, especially the middle-aged women, who had several children at home and would definitely feel sad to see them like this.
But when they saw the suspicious and vigilant eyes of the people under the tree, they felt a little scared.
One of the little girls tearfully said, "Aunties, we're from Liujia Village. We have so many duck eggs at home that we can't sell them, and we're out of rice. Erni is so hungry..."
I thought that after I said that, these women would feel bad and sell the duck eggs, but I didn't expect Aunt Guihua to shout back at her:
"Silly child, there is food right in front of you, but you don't want to eat it and you have to come to our Banyue Village to complain.
Auntie will teach you how to roast the duck eggs in the basket. They will be so delicious. Don’t you have a fire starter? I can lend you one.”
"..."
One of the little boys had a dirty face and snot hanging from his nose. He replied in a very aggrieved tone:
"We don't eat duck eggs, they are sold for money. If we exchange the money for silver to buy medicine for grandma, she will die.
Woo woo woo, I can’t live without grandma.”
"But you can't sell the duck eggs, and the ducks are useless. Why not just sell them? Six ducks can fetch half an ounce of silver. Go to town and sell them for medicine."
"..."
The children fell silent again. What happened to the promise that they would feel sorry for them? What happened to the promise that if they cried a few times, the people of Banyue Village would buy their duck eggs?
One of the older children pretended not to hear what the women said and continued to insist:
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. Why do you have to come up with these stupid ideas and slap us in the face?
Besides, you are not hiding anything. We are here to find the Song family. They say that they are kind-hearted and will definitely not stand by and watch someone die."
This successfully made everyone laugh. A woman sitting next to Wang Ying'er said with a smile, "Oh my god, this is really relying on your family.
Collect the duck eggs quickly, otherwise your family will become evildoers and sinners, hahahaha..."
Wang Ying'er also laughed. She had to admit that if it were before, she would have been afraid of ruining her reputation and might have really accepted the duck eggs. But now, the evildoers and sinners had their mouths on other people, so they could say whatever they wanted. What did it have to do with her family?
"Oh, God bless you, you must have heard it wrong.
I am a member of the Song family, the most evil family in Banyue Village. If a dog from another village comes to Banyue Village, I will beat it up severely. If there are people with bad intentions who want to plot against me, they can forget about leaving the village.
Am I right? "
"Yes! We in Banyue Village are all bad people with no kindness at all. You should go to other villages and be pitiful.
If you hesitate any longer, I'll let the dogs bite you."
"Release the dogs! Let's run!"
"Bad guys, all bad guys, wow..."
Children are most afraid of the village dogs. They can eat two taels of meat in one bite. They will run to the village entrance without looking back.
At the same time, Song An Ning also asked No. 1 to carry out the people hiding in the woods one by one and throw them on the dung pile in the cowshed, and then pulled out a long knife from behind.
Number One, dressed in black, held the head of Liujia Village in one hand and placed a long knife against a man's neck with the other. He said coldly, "Anyone who causes trouble in Banyue Village will die!"
The villagers had never seen such a scene before. They all huddled together and dared not move, not even to beg for mercy.
A few children thought they could run out of the village and return to their adults to be safe, but when they reached the river, they saw their village head being held in the hands of a masked man. The others raised their hands above their heads, and one of the older ones had fainted from fright.
Song Anning watched this scene from afar, chuckled, and walked to the riverside with the villagers in a leisurely manner. Everyone started to tease:
"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be Liu Lizheng. How come he was being held in the hand of our number one?
And this old man, what is he doing lying on the dung heap with his eyes closed? You are not allowed to sleep here!
