Chapter 288: Moral Kidnapping

Although Da Niu looks thinner now, he is still a tall and strong man. Coupled with the anger after seeing his wife being bullied, he looks scary and fierce. The people surrounding his house are all ordinary villagers. They see Da Niu so angry, how dare they make trouble? But to tell them to leave, they are also very reluctant.

Seeing that no one dared to answer nor they leave, Da Niu glared at the woman who had stopped banging her head on the ground, and asked, "What are you doing at my house? Who are you? Why did you come here to make trouble and force my wife to give you food and water?"

Seeing Da Niu protecting Yu Lan like that, the woman felt a burst of pain in her heart. She also had a husband two weeks ago. But now, it’s just her and her two young children. After her husband starved to death to keep her and the children alive, their life became increasingly difficult.

Now, all she can do is beg for some food to keep the children alive. Even if the price is her own life, she still wants to save the lives of her children, so that she will not be ashamed when she goes to the yellow spring and meets her husband in the future.

Thinking that her children haven’t even had a bite of food for more than two days, the woman didn’t care about anything else anymore.

She hit her head on the ground hard repeatedly and said, "Brother and sister, please. Please save my children’s lives. Please give them some food and water. I would do anything to repay your kindness. I am willing to be your cow or horse! Please, I beg you!"

Xu Xiang stood on the side, looking calmly at the villagers, Da Niu and his wife. She observed for a while, and found that only a few villagers surrounding the Da Niu’s house had evil intentions. The rest of the people are actually just forced by the situation and come to try their luck.

Xu Xiang guessed that these people came to ask for food and water, only after hearing how much food and water Da Niu got after making the water turbines.

It is a pity that although there is a lot of food and water for one family, Da Niu has already divided the food and water to other villagers who helped him build the water turbines, and distributed the remaining food and water to the other villagers of Mei Hua Village. There was indeed only a little bit of food and water left in his home.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, and Da Niu almost got into a fight with those people, Xu Xiang thought for a while and then took a step forward. Mu Yucheng, who was standing beside her, knew what she wanted to do, so he quickly held her hand and pulled her back.

Xu Xiang was a little surprised when she was stopped by Mu Yucheng. She looked at him, tilted her head in doubt, and asked, "Yucheng, why did you stop me?"

Mu Yucheng looked at her and asked, "Have you forgotten what you just said this morning?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang recalled what she had just realized before they were going to the river.

Knowing that she remembered it, Mu Yucheng said calmly: "Since you know that you shouldn’t do everything for them, then just watch quietly. Their lives are their responsibility. What they want to do and how they want to live is their choice. Learning to protect themselves and solve problems is also something they should do by themselves."

Seeing the commotion in Da Niu’s house, Xu Xiang sighed and said, "You are right. I can help them once, but I can’t help them forever."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiang stood beside Mu Yucheng, quietly watching what would happen next. On the other side, all the villagers had already knelt in front of Da Niu and his wife. Seeing this blatant act of moral kidnapping, Huan Yun was furious.

She ignored Hu Wenfeng’s words that were trying to stop her, rushed over, and stood in front of Da Niu and his wife. Huan Yun looked at the villagers who were still kneeling on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, why are you kneeling on the ground? Did you do something wrong to Brother Da Niu and my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Huan Yun was just a young woman and wearing a beautiful dress that looked very expensive, the villagers looked at each other for a moment. Thinking that Huan Yun is someone with a profound background, one of the old women cried louder and said, "Young Lady, please give us justice."

Hearing what the old woman said, Yu Lan was so angry that she almost fainted, while Da Niu was so angry that his face was flushed. Different from them, Huan Yun still has a smile on her beautiful face.

She slowly scanned the expressions of all the villagers. When her eyes fell on them, the hearts of the villagers trembled for no reason, and they looked at Huan Yun with doubts on their faces.

After a moment of silence, Huan Yun looked at the old woman and asked, "Old Grandma, what kind of justice do you want?"

The old woman’s eyes lit up after hearing Huan Yun’s words. Since Huan Yun saw what happened just now, she knew that this old woman was one of the few people who deliberately led these villagers to force Da Niu and his wife to hand over their food and water by moral kidnapping.

Not knowing that Huan Yun already knew what she wanted, the old woman pretended to wipe away the invisible tears from the corners of her eyes, and sadly said, "This couple is really too much. We only asked for some food and water, but they refused to help us, and even chased us out."
