Translator: 549690339

After lunch, Yingbao was walking Xiaolu while his two younger brothers sat atop Xiaolu’s back. The three children leisurely strolled outside the house, digesting their meal.

Suddenly, three women appeared from the side, heading straight towards them.

Yingbao was alert and prepared to take his brothers back to the house when he saw a woman smiling at him, “Don’t be scared, Yingbao. We just want to ask you a question.”

Ignoring them, Yingbao led Youyou back home and shut the courtyard gate.

After putting his two younger brothers back into the room, Yingbao told Xu

Chunniang, “Mom, three strangers came. They seem to be from the Han Family’s house.”

Upon hearing this, Chunniang furrowed her brows, quickly setting down her spinning wheel and going outside to check.

Standing at the gate were three women, one being the fourth aunt from the West Village’s Wu family, another from the Han Family, and the third woman, fair-skinned, who bore some resemblance to the Han woman.

“What are you doing at my front door?” Chunniang asked in a low voice.

Fourth Aunt Wu smiled awkwardly, “Ah, Chunniang, let’s go inside and talk. It’s cold out here.”

“No need for that. Say whatever you need to here at the gate.”

Chunniang would never allow these people into her home.

“Alright, we’ll talk here.”

The fair-skinned woman said, “You’re Xu Chunniang, right? Let’s not beat around the bush. The girl your family adopted is my elder sister’s. We’re just here today to ask you to return the child to my elder sister. We can discuss whatever compensation necessary.”

At this point, Chunniang finally realized who this fair-skinned woman was. She was Han Juniang’s younger sister, Han Yueiang.

“What evidence do you have that my child is your sister’s?”

Chunniang felt confident, not the least bit afraid of their extortion attempt.

Even if it were Han’s sister, even if it were the Lord himself, she wouldn’t be afraid, because the birthmark on her daughter’s wrist no longer existed.

“Xu Chunniang, are you that stubborn?”

Han began, “We’ve come to discuss with good intentions, yet you show us this attitude.” Having come here today, she naturally came prepared.

Just yesterday, she had spent five taels to persuade Fourth Aunt Wu to testify for her. From Aunt Wu, she learned about the plum blossom birthmark on the wrist of the baby girl she birthed.

This news was excellent! All she had to do was check for the birthmark on the girl’s wrist.

She was sure it must be there. Otherwise, Xu Chunniang wouldn’t have the child’s wrist wrapped up all day.

“You come to my house with ill intent, and you expect me to be agreeable?”

Chunniang had grown impatient with these three and ordered them off, “Keep away from my house. Don’t make me get rough!”

“You, woman! You refuse the toast only to drink the punishment. You want a lawsuit, don’t you?” Han became angry.

Chunniang snorted, “Who wants a lawsuit? Seems to me you’re trying to steal the child while my husband isn’t home.”

“Steal what child? That girl is mine!” Han screamed.

“Yours? What proof do you have?” Chunniang laughed coldly, “Looks like Lizheng was too kind when he only fined you taels last time!”

“Sister, no point in talking to her,” Han Yueniang yanked at Han and gave her a signal, “Let’s get to the point.”

Han got the hint and shouted, “My daughter has a birthmark on her wrist. If you dare, let us see. The truth will be evident.”

Han Yueniang echoed, “Yes, we’ll know whether the child is my sister’s or not by examining her.”

“Why should my daughter show you anything?”

Xu Chunniang refused to oblige. Jiang Sanlang had said not to let anyone see the girl’s wrist unless it was absolutely necessary.

“You say no and we just accept it? We insist on seeing it!” Han scoffed.

“Then try and see what happens!”

Without saying another word, Xu Chunniang picked up a large broom from beside the courtyard gate and charged at them.

The three women quickly scattered. Han shrieked, “Xu Chunniang! You dare to hit us?”

At this moment, Second Aunt Wang came out upon hearing the noise. Seeing that Han from the West Village had come again, she quickly beckoned her son and whispered, “Go help your third brother’s wife.” She pointed at the chamber pot in the house.

Fourteen-year-old Wang Erlang got the hint, carried a feces bucket out, and splashed it at the three women, saying, “Where did these dung beetles come from, barging in wherever they please.”

The three women were splashed with a skirt worth of shit and piss, screeched, and ran off as if flying.

Seeing them go for the moment, Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Erlang, “Thanks for today, Brother Wang.”

Wang Erlang scratched the back of his head, grinning foolishly: “No problem, if they come again, just let me know, if I am not around, my mother will be.” Chunniang smiled and nodded, “Then I will have to bother Auntie Wang.”

“In our own homes, there’s no bother or not bother,” Auntie Wang said from the courtyard doorstep, “Who are you with who?”

Chunniang laughed again, put away the broom, saw Yingbao and his two brothers peeking out the window, still engrossed in the scene. She went over and shut the window and huffily said, “Go and read your books.”

Yingbao shrank back to the kang with a giggle, leading his two little brothers to continue writing big characters.

Actually, she wasn’t afraid of these people at all when they attacked openly, but she had to guard against them resorting to underhanded tactics.

Han Yueniang was no good piece of work, even worse than her sister Han Juniang.

Han Juniang was foolish, but that Han Yueniang was not stupid. In her previous life, this woman was very sinister and more adept at manipulation than her sister.

For the next two days, the three women did not come again, but Yingbao did not believe the Han Family was done.

In her previous life, the Han Family nagged Jiang Family day after day, persistently making a fuss for more than half a year before finally taking it to the County Government.

The Han Family must be hatching some nasty plot at this moment.

One day, Yingbao went to the school as usual.

Walking with Erni Huzi, they were almost at the school gate when two masked men suddenly rushed over.

One masked man pushed Erni and Huzi down, picked up Yingbao and ran.

Yingbao: …

After a moment’s stunned silence, Yingbao started yelling for help, “Help! A child is being kidnaped!”

The man pulled out a cloth and covered her mouth and nose. Unsure what drug was added to it, Yingbao felt her head spinning and quickly fainted.

When she came to, she was already lying in a moving mule cart.

Sitting next to her was none other than the woman of the Han Family, Han Yueniang.

Seeing her wake up, Han Yueniang gave her a cold look and said nothing.

Lowering her head, Yingbao saw that her hands and feet were tightly bound with cloth strips.

The Han Family dared to kidnap kids.

This didn’t seem to have happened in her previous life, so where did it all go wrong?

Back then, although Han Family kept bothering the Jiang Family, they didn’t dare to come to the Jiang Family to kidnap anyone.

Yingbao struggled a few times, finding it didn’t work, she started crying loudly.

She needed to find out exactly what this little Han Family woman was up to.

Han Family woman looked disgusted at her, kicking her a few times, ordering angrily, “Shut up!”

Yingbao didn’t stop but continued to cry.

“I said shut up!” The Han Family woman kicked her a couple more times, threatening fiercely, “Cry again and I’ll kill you!”

Yingbao had no choice but to shut up and stop crying. After a while, she asked,

“Who are you? Where are you taking me?”

The Han Family woman glanced at her, restraining her disgust, and said, “I’m your aunt. I’m taking you to the county town to live a good life.”

Yingbao understood.

It must be the Han Family bribing someone to kidnap her, then settling her in her sister’s home in the county town, and aiming for something else later. Since her life was not immediately endangered, Yingbao was not worried for now.

For now, the only thing she could do was wait until she reached the destination and then figure out how to escape.

The mule cart jolted for who knows how long until they finally entered the gates of the county town.

Seeing that Yingbao had stopped crying and causing trouble, the Han Family woman untied the ropes on her wrists and ankles..
