“Miss Song, there’s a carriage ahead.”
Half a quarter of an hour after the carriage had chased them, Xiao Si reported.
Song Shen couldn’t even be angry with Gu Yi, as soon as she lifted the curtain of the carriage, she saw that it was the same carriage they had seen at the village entrance when they returned to the village in the ox cart, “Quick, go and block it!”
The driver shook the reins and the carriage quickly caught up and overtook the carriage, blocking it in front.
The pursued carriage stopped and the driver asked, with fire in his voice, “What are you doing! Can’t you drive a carriage?”
It was fortunate that he had good skills, otherwise the two carriages would have collided.
Song Shen jumped off the carriage, “Cut the crap and hand over Daya!”
The curtain was lifted and a woman poked her head out, looking coldly at Song Shen and cursing, “What do you want, you little brat?”
“Aunt Lian, Lian.”
The woman was no other than Song Ming’s own sister – Song Lian.
The two families were not on good terms and did not get along much throughout the year, but whenever Song Lian went back to her mother’s house, I don’t know if it was to show off or to make a good impression in front of the village people, but every time she came across Grandma Song’s family she would get off the carriage and say hello.
Song Lian crossed over to him and took a few glances at Gu Yi, who had gotten off the carriage, before she withdrew her gaze to look at him and eased her tone, “Daya and I are going to stay in the county town for a few days, I’ve made a deal with my family, why are you stopping me?”
“This ……”
Song Shen scratched his head.
“Where’s Daya, we’d like to have a word with her.”
Song Wangyue took a step forward.
Song Lian’s eyes lit up, she had known for a long time that Song Wangyue was not bad looking, but she didn’t expect her to be so handsome, “You’re Yue Ya, right? You’re really handsome, in a few years you’ll be the best looking girl in this area.”
As she spoke, her eyes darted around Song Wangyue, who was disgusted in her heart.
Gu Yi was not happy and pointed directly at Song Lian, “What are you looking at? Look again and gouge your eyes out!”
Song Lian’s smile froze on her face and she subconsciously wanted to say something back, but for some reason she swallowed it again and fiercely slammed the carriage curtain down and ordered the coachman, “Go!”
“Madam, their carriage is in the way, we can’t leave.”
Song Lian lifted the curtain again, her face very unpleasant, “I have urgent business back in the city, make way for your carriage!”
“We want to have a few words with Daya.”
“What are you talking about, are you his parents, or her own brother and sister? Since you’re not, get out of my way!”
“Daya, Daya!”
Ignoring her, Song Song Wangyue shouted, and a whimpering sound came from inside the carriage at once.
Song Shen’s face changed as he listened, he quickly went over and was about to lift the carriage curtain, Song Lian slapped over, “Against you, is my carriage also something you can look at?”
Song Wan Yue’s quick eyes and hands tugged Song Shen, just in time to avoid Song Lian’s slap, Song Wan Yue’s small face sank, “You are at least Daya’s own aunt, how can you do such a heartless thing!”
“Little girl, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning if you talk about your elders like that? What did I do, I just took her to the county town for some days.”
“Don’t fool us with these words, you know exactly why you took Daya to the county town, if you still have some conscience, then hand Daya over to us.”
“Get lost!”
Song Wangyue pulled Song Shen back a few steps, “If you don’t let her out, we’ll spend time and see who can outlast who.”
“Crash through, I’ll pay you if the carriage breaks!”
How much is a carriage worth? Da Ya she could sell it for two hundred taels.
The driver didn’t dare to crash it, there were several children in front of the carriage, especially one who looked like a young master from a rich family, if he crashed it, he would have to pay with his own life. Besides, the carriage was his only source of income, so what if it was really damaged and the lady denied it?
“Madam, I wouldn’t dare to do that, you’d better go well with them.”
Song Lian could only get down from the carriage and went straight towards Song Shen, raising her hand and striking him with a splitting blow, “Little brat, get out of my face!”
She didn’t dare to hit Song Wangyue, she was the baby that the Song family held in their hearts, if she did, the Song family would still find her home.
Song Shen held his head and hid, Song Wan Yue pulled him behind her, before she could say anything, a slap was slapped on Song Wan Yue’s face, a loud snap.
Gu Yi screamed with an owl and kicked over, kicking Song Lian to the ground and bouncing on two heels before stopping.
Gu Yi didn’t even look at her, heartbroken, he raised his hand to touch Song Wangyue’s face, reaching halfway and then withdrawing it, “Little girl, are you alright?”
“Yes.”
“You’re such a wimp, when people hit you, don’t you want to hit them back? You still let the little girl protect you.”
Gu Yi took his anger out on Song Shen.
Song Shen also didn’t expect Song Lian to dare to hit Song Wan Yue, so he was a bit dumbfounded for a moment.
In any case, Song Lian was an elder, he could not hit her, otherwise he would drag the family down with him.
Look at Song Wangyue’s little face all red, pulling her own hair in self-condemnation.
Song Lian was lying on the ground ouching and screaming.
Gu Yi walked towards her with a sullen face.
Once she saw his stance, Song Lian also stopped screaming and got up from the ground with a single bound, taking several steps backwards, “What, what are you doing?”
“I’ve heard my father say that anyone who sells children will be sent to jail and beaten to death.”
Song Lian’s face turned white with fear, “You’re nonsense, what child trafficking? I’m just taking Daya to my home for a few days, I, I ……”
Song Shu drove the ox cart from afar, Gu Yi immediately shouted at the top of his voice, “Uncle Song, help, Yue’er is going to be killed by this shrew!”
Song Lian, ……
turned back in horror and looked at the bullock cart coming towards her, and her face turned even whiter.
Several people in the ox cart heard Gu Yi’s shout and changed their faces in unison.
Song Sanxiao jumped off the cart without waiting for it to stop, and ran quickly to Song Lian, without asking her anything, and slapped her across the face with a big slap, landing heavily on her face.
Song Lian’s eyes were glazed over and she staggered a few steps, falling to the ground.
Song San Xiao was about to get on his feet when Song Lian hurriedly shouted, “Third brother, it’s me, it’s me!”
Song Sanxiao’s hand stopped in mid-air, “Song Lian?”
“It’s me.”
Song Lian didn’t dare to spill her guts and covered her face as she climbed up, “You’ve all misunderstood, I didn’t hit Yue’er, nor did I think of selling Daya, I just took her to live with me for a while.”
“Daya, Daya!”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law ran past them and lifted the curtain of the carriage, seeing Daya tied up all over and her mouth gagged, her eyes burst into tears, “Don’t be afraid, Daya, Mother is here, Mother is here!”
He said, climbing onto the carriage on his hands and knees and pulling out the rags from Daya’s mouth.
“Mother!”
Daya flung herself into her arms in fear, her tiny body shivering.
