My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 50 Death is too easy for them.

Cheng Ruoan heard a sharp, explosive sound from Xia Yaozu coming from the back room.

But it was just one sound, and then there was no further movement.

It took Shaoyang quite a while to reappear.

This time, he took Xia Shoucai and Old Man Xia away.

Cheng Ruoan knew that he must have just taken Xia Yao's grandmother and son away from the back room.

As for where it went, Cheng Ruoan hadn't had a chance to ask yet.

While Shao Yang was away again, she called Cheng Ruotong and Da Hua in and took the unconscious Zhao Shi to the car outside to rest.

Da Hua saw that Xia Shi and Old Lady Xia were lying on the ground, completely unconscious, with no sign of waking up.

She had mixed feelings, but she didn't ask her third aunt what had just happened.

Where did the rest of the Xia family go?

Cheng Ruoan grasped her tightly clenched little hand and patted it gently. "It's alright. Third Aunt said that if you listen to Third Aunt, Third Aunt will protect you."

If Da Hua hadn't resisted in that dungeon, Cheng Ruoan wouldn't feel sorry for her now.

After all, if you can't stand on your own two feet, it's no big deal for anyone to feel sorry for you.

But Da Hua resisted.

Da Hua listened to her advice and called her Third Aunt.

Da Hua sniffed, looked into Cheng Ruoan's gentle eyes, and pouted.

But in the end, she managed to hold back her tears.

She asked, as if questioning the heavens, "Third Aunt...why aren't you my mother..."

Then he helped Cheng Ruotong get her grandmother out of the house.

Cheng Ruoan watched her retreating figure, feeling deeply saddened.

She was an orphan.

Of course, I know what it feels like to be without parents.

Big flower...

Cheng Ruoan felt that Da Hua's life might be worse than if she had no parents.

Xia became pregnant in the first month after marrying into the Si family, and her daughter, Dahua, was born nine months later.

But perhaps because it was her first pregnancy, the delivery was very difficult, and Xia's health was somewhat damaged. However, because she was disappointed that it was a daughter, she decided to try for a second child when her daughter was only a little over a year old.

She did manage to get pregnant, but when Xia was pregnant with twins, Da Niu and Da Hu, her pregnancy was very difficult.

When Xia was seven months pregnant with her second child, her two-year-old daughter, Da Hua, who was already learning to serve Xia tea and water, accidentally spilled boiling water, which splashed onto Xia's hand. This frightened Xia and immediately caused her to have a miscarriage.

The two babies, Da Niu and Da Hu, were born prematurely.

Fortunately, the midwife and the village doctor arrived, and both the baby and the tiger were safely delivered.

But in order to have this pregnancy, Xia suffered a serious injury.

That's why it took so many years for Da Ya, who was pregnant with her third child, to conceive.

But Xia blamed all the mistakes on Da Hua.

She felt that Da Hua had caused her younger brother's premature birth, which had also harmed her, his own mother, and severely damaged her health.

Poor Da Hua, before she could even remember or understand anything, carried the resentment of her own mother.

Also, because her younger brother was not much older than her.

She didn't even enjoy her father's love for two years.

Xia and Si doted on their two sons because they were boys.

Also because they were premature.

But they also doted on Daya, because Daya was a little girl who came to them after eight years.

In her parents' eyes, Da Hua had been like a transparent little maid for the past ten years.

"Dahua, go wash the clothes. Your mother can't stand cold water."

"Dahua, go cook a bowl of noodles for your dad. He doesn't get off work until dark, he's starving."

"Dahua, how did you take care of your younger brother?! Dahu got beaten up, and you couldn't beat those two brothers, Wang Ergou and his brother, so couldn't you at least go and take a couple of slaps for Dahu?"

“Dahua, you help your fourth aunt fetch water every day. Your fourth uncle thanked you and gave you that piece of very nice red cloth. I’ll use it to embroider a handkerchief for Daya so she can use it as part of her dowry.”

……

As Cheng Ruoan recalled the small fragments related to the big flower in the original owner's memories, she felt suffocated.

When she looked at Xia Shi and Old Lady Xia on the ground, her eyes turned cold.

Cold-blooded.

It's not anger.

It means there are no emotions.

It's as if what they're looking at isn't a living organism.

"Why did you give birth to her but never even look at her properly? Thankfully, she doesn't resemble you at all."

Cheng Ruoan spoke calmly, as if asking Xia Shi, but also as if talking to himself.

Shao Yang returned empty-handed once again and saw Cheng Ruoan staring at Xia Shi with a strange expression on her face.

"Little sister?"

Cheng Ruoan snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and asked, "Brother-in-law, where did those four beasts go?"

"I'll hide him in a nearby cave first. It's close to Boss Qian's village. If I dump him in the deep mountains of Panlongzhai, he'll be more likely to be discovered by the villagers and run into Sanlang and the others. I'll deal with him quietly once we're all on our way and have left this place."

Cheng Ruoan hummed in agreement.

What she was thinking was, "If only her space could collect corpses."

"Let's leave these two alone for now."

Letting them die like this is too easy for them.

Shaoyang: ?

He thought he had misheard. "Aren't they going to deal with Xia Shi and Old Lady Xia?"

Cheng Ruoan: "Yes. Brother-in-law, are you sure those four won't be coming back? Then we don't need to deal with these two for now."

Shao Yang frowned.

He doesn't quite understand.

However, his wife said that the Cheng family's rule was "to put An'an first".

"Okay. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

Shao Yang already knew from Cheng Ruotong that Cheng Ruoan had made a lot of money from the bandits.

As far as he knows, he and Cheng Ruotong each received a share of the 1,100 taels of medicine from before and the 300 taels from Cheng Ruotong.

He originally listened to Cheng Ruoan only because he doted on his wife, and his wife doted on his sister as a result.

But now he treats Cheng Ruoan as his boss who pays him wages.

He's just a lowly hunter; he'd never see even a third of 1,400 taels in his entire life.

Cheng Ruoan tossed out a bundle of hemp rope, his eyes sweeping over Xia Shi and Xia's wife. "The Xia family father and son, Xia Zhangshi and Xia Yaozu, stole my 1,100 taels of goods and the Cheng family's donkey cart and ran away."

"You've caught Xia Shi and her mother, so tie them up and wait for everyone to return before we talk."

Shao Yang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Even if he sold the donkey cart, and the others didn't know, wasn't the medicine on the mule cart?

Can anyone believe this lie?

Cheng Ruoan: "I can believe it. As long as you and your older sister both say that you saw that family drive away on a donkey cart, that's fine."

As for the rest, that's her opinion.

Even if both Madam Xia and Old Lady Xia were awake, she could still turn black into white in front of them!

Shaoyang's forehead twitched.

"Row!"

As he spoke, he squatted down and touched Xia Shi and Old Lady Xia with his hand.

Cheng Ruoan tilted her head, looking at him with her head tilted: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing...?"

Should I draw a circle and curse them?

"I silenced them by pressing their pressure points. I'll say that when they tried to escape, I choked them and injured their throats."

Cheng Ruoan: ? ? !!

She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Brother-in-law, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

Shao Yang said very seriously, "I don't know why I can do these things, but my brain tells my hands that it can, and my hands actually do it."

Cheng Ruoan: ...

hateful.

He was tricked.

This is what so many modern people want!

My brain says: Your hands already know how.

My hand said: Yes, I can!
