No wonder the family is so poor. It turned out to be caused by Changxiu's father's illness.
However, Tang Ruyue found it strange that Jin Changxiu clearly asked the postman to send a hundred taels of silver home. Moreover, after entering the inner gate, the clan had a settlement allowance of one hundred taels of silver, which was directly distributed to the family by the town.
There are also rewards there, so how could there be no news after leaving?
"Since the good land was used to pay your uncle's debt, why did he sell you again?" Tang Ruyue asked.
"The uncle said that the two taels of silver my father borrowed when he passed away were not included in the two acres of farmland. If he asked us to pay him back the two taels of silver, we would not even have the farmland, and we would often end up eating one meal at a time.
, how can I pay back the money? My uncle sold me to the old landlord in Liantang Village as his ninth concubine.
My mother didn't agree, so they called someone to snatch me away, tied me up, stuffed me into a sedan, and ran away. They don't know what happened to my mother."
Tang Ruyue was silent. The money sent by Chang Xiu and the rewards from the sect and the town could not reach Chang Xiu's mother. I am afraid that there is definitely something wrong with the village chief. She will take care of this matter.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a man in his thirties or forties coming out yelling: "Where did you come from, a wild boy who dares to come to our Jinjia Village to run wild and snatch away the bride who married in our village."
Then he pointed at Jin Changqing and scolded: "You little whore has learned to seduce men at a young age. Are you planning to elope? Aren't you afraid of getting wet in a pig cage?"
Tang Ruyue liked to wear men's clothes when she was outside, so Uncle Jin regarded Ruyue as a brat.
Tang Ruyue asked Jin Changqing, who was still riding on the horse: "Who is this person?"
Jin Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "He is my great uncle Jin Xiong, and he is also the patriarch of the Jin clan."
Just as it happened, Chief Jin had already rushed over, swung his fist and punched Tang Ruyue, shouting: "Good boy, take my punch!"
Tang Ruyue stepped aside and kicked out, sending Patriarch Jin flying away.
Chief Jin flew to a big camphor tree at the entrance of the village, then landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that Tang Ruyue was merciless with his kick.
She had nothing to feel guilty about. Women in her family were tied up and forced to marry, and she, the patriarch, had the nerve to trouble her.
"Here comes someone, get this kid down quickly."
As a young man from Uncle Changxiu shouted, a group of young people from the village ran out. Changqing, who had already dismounted with the help of Tang Ruyue, stopped in front of Tang Ruyue.
"This is Chang Xiu's senior sister in the Dragon Tiger Sect, an inner disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect! Which of you dares to hit her?"
When everyone heard that Tang Ruyue was from the Longhu Sect or an inner disciple, everyone was frightened and stood there without daring to rush forward.
At this moment, two more carriages came on the road, and it was Yan Song and Long Mang who were chasing after them. The two seemed to have seen Tang Ruyue and Tang Die's heroic deeds along the way, and they did not come up to say hello to Tang Ruyue, but
I parked the carriage far away from the village entrance and stood at the village entrance to watch the excitement.
The black-faced boy who was dragged into the village by Tang Die also ran out. When he saw Tang Ruyue bringing Changqing back, he looked happy. Hearing Changqing say that Tang Ruyue was an inner disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect,
What a surprise.
Tang Die followed the young man out and winked at Tang Ruyue.
Tang Ruyue knew that Changxiu's mother was probably fine.
The person who had previously shouted that he wanted to capture Tang Ruyue shouted: "She is talking nonsense. How could an inner disciple of the Longhu Sect come to this remote place like ours?"
