kvmb Chapter 239 Pigs
Chapter 239 Pigs
With the government failing to act, the villains who destroyed crops became increasingly rampant. They not only destroyed Xie Chunyu's farmland, but also the farmland of other villagers.
Because... that group of people wanted more than just Xie Chunyu's fields; they also made requests to buy fields from other families in the village, but without exception, all of them were refused.
Having been rejected, they naturally turned their attention to other villagers.
The villagers of Xie Chunyu did consider resistance. They organized able-bodied men to ambush the murderers in the fields late at night.
Unfortunately……
They were, after all, farmers, while those wicked people were truly wicked.
That night, when the able-bodied men of the village rushed out of the fields with hoes, wooden sticks and other tools, the villains pulled out... gleaming, sharp blades!
When hoes, sticks, and sharp blades clash, the outcome is predictable.
That very night, more than a dozen young men died in Xie Chunyu's village!
In those days, the death of a dozen or so people was no small matter. The village chief immediately reported it to the authorities, who then made a show of sending a few constables to investigate.
Then... there is no more!
After examining the deceased's details and household registration, the government constables left only one sentence: "We will do our best to find the murderer," and then there was no further news.
It wasn't until this time that the villagers of Xie Chunyu realized that the gang of villains might have some connection with the government!
The villagers were furious when they realized this, but they were powerless to do anything about it. They couldn't beat those people, and the government wouldn't support them. What could they do?
In despair, many villagers gave up the struggle and chose to sell their farmland to that group of people.
Xie Chunyu's father made the same choice. There was no other way; under the influence of these people, even if the farmland was kept, it would be impossible to grow food, so selling it had become the only option.
After selling the farmland, Xie Chunyu's father also made a decision: to leave the village where they originally lived and move to the city with Xie Chunyu and her mother. They bought a house with the money from the land sale and made a living by doing manual labor for others. Although life was a bit tight, they were still able to barely survive.
But clearly, fate did not intend for Xie Chunyu's family to continue living like this.
Not long after we moved to the city, a cold snap struck!
The grain harvest in the entire Qingzhou region has plummeted, making life increasingly difficult for the people, and manual labor jobs in the city are becoming increasingly hard to find...
Xie Chunyu's father was a hardworking man, but no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't earn a single penny if there was no work to do...
Under the influence of the cold disaster, Xie Chunyu's family quickly fell into a state of financial difficulties, going hungry for two meals every three days, and even... completely running out of food!
With no income left, Xie Chunyu's father, despite his reluctance, made a bold choice: to give Xie Chunyu away to the brokerage firm!
Because the family truly couldn't survive, they left Xie Chunyu at home, only to watch her starve to death, and sold her to a brokerage firm...
At least she has food to eat and can survive.
Xie Chunyu still remembers the tearful face of her father when he handed her over to the brokerage firm. It was the first time in her fourteen years that Xie Chunyu had ever seen her father cry...
This was the first time her father, who was as towering as Mount Tai in her heart, had shed tears in front of others, revealing the pain in his heart!
"Dad, don't cry!"
Xie Chunyu comforted her father instead. At that time, she did not know what she would face after being sold to the brokerage firm. However, when she saw her father's tears, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed, and she felt so painful that she could hardly breathe.
"Chunyu, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Xie Chunyu's father broke down in tears.
The broker, however, was heartless and showed no sympathy. He tossed down a small bag of copper coins and took Xie Chunyu away. Not long after, Xie Chunyu was sold to the Dingchun Pavilion.
"Father, mother!"
Xie Chunyu murmured to herself, her father's image appearing in her mind. Now she knew what Dingchunlou was and what she would face, but she didn't resent her parents, only this damned world and...
Those wicked people who destroy their own farmland!
If it weren't for them, I could have been reunited with my parents and wouldn't have had to become a prostitute despised by others!
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Before Xie Chunyu could speak, a voice came from outside: "Get ready, you'll be receiving important guests later!"
After he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside the door; the person who had given the message had already left.
Xie Chunyu had no intention of tidying herself up; she just stared blankly at her reflection in the bronze mirror, missing her parents.
It's worth mentioning that there was also a pair of scissors on the table, which Xie Chunyu intended to use to end her life.
Women in the Xia Kingdom value chastity highly, while prostitution is a profession despised by everyone. Xie Chunyu, who was pampered and loved by her parents since childhood, could not accept becoming a prostitute. Therefore, she had long been prepared to end her life!
even……
If possible, Xie Chunyu also planned to take that so-called distinguished guest with her!
Xie Chunyu hid the scissors in the lining of her clothes, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
But at this moment...
Suddenly, the wooden floor beneath her feet trembled, and at the same time, Xie Chunyu faintly heard cries of pain coming from downstairs!
"What happened?"
Xie Chunyu frowned slightly.
Inside the lobby of Dingchunlou, all the guests, including Sun Ye, turned to look at the door. They saw a guard standing outside fly in and crash heavily to the ground, making the ground tremble.
"What's going on? Is someone causing trouble at Dingchun Tower?"
"What happened?"
"Who dares to cause trouble at Dingchun Tower?"
"..."
The guests looked towards the entrance with surprise and uncertainty, only to see several figures slowly walk in.
Leading the way was naturally Chen Cheng!
The guard who had just been kicked in by Chen Cheng was naturally in great pain due to Chen Cheng's immense strength. After landing, he was spitting out blood continuously, clearly not far from death.
Behind Chen Cheng were Chen Dao, Xu Zhiwen, Zhang He, and Li Qingyun.
Looking at the bloated and fat so-called "noblemen" in the hall, Chen Dao smiled and said to Li Qingyun, "Magistrate Li, your Ding'an County is quite wealthy, isn't it? Look at how fat these people are, they're almost like pigs!"
This was probably the largest proportion of fat people Chen Dao had ever seen. In the past, most of the people Chen Dao had met were poor people with sallow and thin faces. But now, the people in this hall were all greasy and fat, almost like pigs, which was a stark contrast to the poor people!
