Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Extortion
“I’m afraid even his heart is black. Where would he care about one more thing?”

“What a sin! Look at these two children now…Tsk tsk! For the sake of extorting money, he can actually do this to his own children!”

“There’s no saving him! Beat him!”

It was not known who shouted in the crowd, and suddenly one stone stirred up a thousand waves, with everyone echoing in agreement.

“Beat him! Beat him! Drive him out of our Upper Village! Kill him!”

The fellow villagers instantly became furious, rushing forward one after another, and the sounds of fists and kicks came immediately. Liu An and Liu Hua, the two nephews, were completely terrified! For them, pretending to be dead and acting unruly was nothing new, but even when they were exposed, their dad had never been like today, so utterly miserable!

Liu Sisi stood aside with cold eyes, watching everything in front of her, her mouth corners raised high, but her heart was full of thoughts.

She had taken revenge for the original owner who had been wronged to death!

It was the original owner who lost a life, and Liu Baihan was only severely beaten!

Considering that he wanted to extort money as soon as he came today, she didn’t beat him to death or maim him — she was already being kind in the eyes of Heaven!

The sounds of fists and kicks continued over there. Liu Sisi saw Old Cheng groping in the chaotic crowd and secretly made a gesture at him.

Old Cheng understood and nodded slightly, then continued to beat fiercely.

“It’s about time to stop beating such a shameful person and drag him out. We must throw him out of the territory of Upper Village! We cannot let such a person pollute our village’s water!”

Old Cheng shouted in the crowd, and naturally, others responded!

A few strong men directly picked him up like a dead pig, with one holding an arm and another a leg, and threw him out of the territory of Upper Village.

Taking advantage of the crowd’s distraction, Liu An and Liu Hua wanted to slip away, but were stopped by Liu Sisi.

“Wait! You two don’t hurry away. Although Liu Baihan has wronged me, his younger sister, you two nephews are innocent. If you walk out in these wet clothes, you will surely get sick. Xuan’er, don’t you have two sets of old clothes? Go get them for them to change into.”

Liu Sisi had heard that these two nephews were about ten and a half and nine years old. At the moment, they seemed to be even smaller than Di Xuan.

Di Xuan soon brought two sets of clothes.

Liu Sisi stepped forward and personally changed the clothes for the two boys.

She also took out some candies and food for them and gave each of them one corner of silver: “Hold onto this silver, it is the meeting gift from your young aunt. Today, considering that you are juniors and were incited by your father, I will not hold a grudge against you. Go find your father now!” After confirming that they had kept the silver, she let the two go.

Watching the two children running away quickly, Liu Sisi sighed in her heart that she was not a ruthless person, and she could not drive them away and kill them all.

“Everyone! Today, I thank you all for standing up for me and feeling indignant on my behalf!”

As she spoke, she respectfully bowed to the crowd.

Her actions even won the unanimous praise of her fellow villagers: “No problem! We are all from the same village! Sisi, since they sold you to our Upper Village, you belong to us now! Rest assured, we people of Upper Village will never let outsiders bully you. Everyone, isn’t that right?”

“Yes! Yes, yes!”

Everyone echoed in response.

“Thank you everyone, thank you so much. Ladies and gentlemen, please come into the hall to rest and have a couple cups of water wine to show our appreciation for your great help.”

Liu Sisi’s warm invitation naturally made the fellow villagers excited.

Who among the villagers didn’t know that Liu Sisi’s cooked dishes were so good that even Dr. He from the small town praised them with a thumbs up!

The villagers happily enjoyed the food while Liu Sisi asked Elderly Mr. Di to come out and take the main seat.

Not long after, the jujube red horse was also chased back by someone.

Taking advantage of the villagers enjoying their meal, Liu Sisi went out to take a look. Old Cheng had already tidied up the courtyard. Then she went back into the room to check on Di Yelei, who was lying inside.

Di Yelei was resting with his eyes closed. When he saw Liu Sisi coming in, he hurriedly got up from the bed and closed the room door.

Only then did he turn back and whisper in her ear, “How’s everything? It’s all settled, right?”

“You, you… weren’t you injured?”

Liu Sisi was a little slow to react.

“Hey! That was just for show!”

Di Yelei smiled sheepishly, “As soon as I heard his name, I remembered that it was him who sold you off in the first place. What good could a person who could sell his own sister be? Besides, that child was pretending to be dead but kept looking at me from time to time. So I dared not move.”

With his explanation, Liu Sisi finally let out a sigh of relief: “At first, I saw the child being kicked out. How come there were no injuries at all? What a strange thing.”

“Of course there’s no injury, when the jujube red horse kicked, I had already rushed over. It was just the force of the impact that tore the grass curtain off.”

Di Yelei chuckled and spoke proudly.

Liu Sisi didn’t know whether to laugh or scold him: “You really are something. If you were a little slower, wouldn’t the horse have kicked you? How could you not care for yourself…”

“It’s fine, it’s fine! I was in a hurry at that time. If your nephew got hurt here, it would be even harder to talk with your big brother given his personality.”

“He’s the one who has the nerve to talk? Hmph! At first, he nearly killed me… This account is not that easy to settle.”

Liu Sisi spoke seriously, this was about a life after all, and it’s not so easy to settle it!

“Alright, I’m fine now. You should go out to take care of the villagers first. Today, we have to rely on their help.” Di Yelei couldn’t help but give her a peck on the cheek.

“Alright, you rest first and don’t come out.”

Only then did Liu Sisi open the door and leave.

As soon as the room door closed, Di Yelei’s expression changed, and his hand immediately covered his chest, accompanied by a quiet cough.

Damn it! The kick from that jujube red horse really hurt! Did it break his ribs again?

Hopefully, there won’t be any major problems. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he would explain it to Sisi.

Liu Sisi, who had come out, stared at the door for a long time. After a while, she silently returned to the hall to take care of the villagers.

The villagers kept shouting and playing guessing games with each other, inexplicably excited. During the New Year, farmers usually gather together to eat and drink. They continued eating until the afternoon when the sky gradually darkened, then they each went home. Elderly Mr. Di was extraordinarily happy today and went to rest early.
