Chapter 19 Mother Kneels Daughter
At this time, the villagers also focused their attention on Aunt Niu, their eyes full of resentment.

"Aunt Niu, tell me, where did Lao Liu go?"

Li Zheng frowned and asked.

Tears welled up in Aunt Niu's eyes, and she shook her head helplessly: "I don't know either. He has never returned to the village since what happened to Mr. Lu."

"So you've been lying to us."

Li Zheng was so angry that his face turned purple.

"He didn't try to help the village tide over the difficulties?"

Now that the matter has come to this, he no longer wants to hide it from Qu Yunchu, so he says truthfully:

"Mrs. Lu, to tell you the truth, in the past two years we have indeed sold a lot of snow clam paste to outsiders behind the Lu family's back. It was Lao Liu who built the bridge. He promised us a lot of money. The amount of money is as much as ours." You can't make money even if you work early and work hard, we are obsessed with profit."

Qu Yunchu shook his head and sneered: "Then let me guess again. Uncle Qu Liu didn't tell everyone about the buyer behind it, so when Mr. Lu came to the village, the villagers who were killed didn't mean to protect them, but they didn't know at all. Who is going against the Lu family?"

Everyone looked bitter.

Li Zheng closed his eyes and sighed: "I don't know what's going on. What's more, Qu Laoliu has sent word to the buyer behind him, saying that if he dares to say even a single word to the outside world, our whole village will be destroyed. If he can get The person who paid so much money must not be someone to be trifled with."

"It's so confusing. A moment of greed has harmed everyone."

Qu Yunchu pouted angrily.

Li Zheng knew that he was guilty, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to Lao Liu's words for a moment. Now I have offended the Lu family and killed Qu Cong and Er Pang. It's all my fault."

"Uncle Eighth can't blame my family entirely."

Aunt Niu was a little dissatisfied and glanced at Qu Yunchu angrily:

"If it weren't for the Lu family's squeeze and only giving each household 50 taels of silver every year, why would we take such desperate risks? Back then, Mr. Lu relied on our village's snow clam paste to please the nobles in the palace. Now that snow clam paste has a high price on the market. Thousands of taels of silver can’t buy a box, so why should the Lu family earn the money themselves?”

"You still have the face to say."

At this time, a thin young man stood up and sternly accused:

"I once heard Qu Cong say that the man behind Uncle Six promised him tens of thousands of taels of gold, but he only gave the villagers ten thousand taels of silver. Aunt Niu, please tell me, where did you hide Uncle Six? Where?"

"I...I don't know."

Aunt Niu rolled up her sleeves, pursed her mouth and buried her head.

"If you don't tell me, I will beat you to death for the villagers, and then tell the Lu family the truth. This will at least ease the anger of the Lu family."

The young man became even more frustrated and angrily raised the hoe in his hand.

"I really do not know."

Aunt Niu looked up at Qu Yunchu in fear: "Young Madam Lu, your lord has a lot of people, please don't be as knowledgeable as I am. I was helpless before. The guy in my family has disappeared for more than half a year. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies." Clearly, my older girl is about to catch up,

The two children missed their father very much, so I came up with this strategy. I thought that as long as Qujiacun got rid of the Lu family, my family and fellow villagers could live in peace again. "

"Aunt Niu's thinking is naive."

Qu Yunchu sighed: "Since the people behind this are unwilling to stand up to the public, it can be seen that they are also afraid of the Lu family. Even if they can let the folks off, how can they let Uncle Qu go? You must know that the mouth of the dead is the last word." strict."

Aunt Niu turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Oh, what can we do? Madam Lu, please, for the sake of our Yunchu family, please save my family and the fellow villagers."

"What you said, I have never met Tianshi Naqu, why should I look at her face?"

Qu Yunchu couldn't laugh or cry.

How could he become her family if he and she were not even close to each other?

Aunt Niu choked when she heard this, knowing that she was thinking about the embarrassment he had made to her when she first entered the door, so she could only look helplessly at Mrs. Wei, who had been silent all the time.

"Sister Wei, please see Mrs. Lu for the sake of the two little ones in my family taking care of Ah Ah for you these years."

Although Mrs. Wei is warm-hearted and repays kindness, she doesn't know this woman from the Shen family at all, and she disliked her so much just now. How can she have the nerve to beg her now?

Looking at the pitiful looks cast around her, she gradually realized that if she couldn't solve this problem, she and A'a might not be able to live in peace.

After some thought, he had no choice but to kneel down and pray:

"Madam Lu..."

"Ah..."

Daughter.

Qu Yunchu almost shouted, there is no reason for a mother to kneel down for her daughter, so she was so frightened that she quickly helped her up.

"Mrs. Wei, you don't have to be like this. It seems that the Lu family didn't consider this matter well, which is why the villagers complained. As the second young wife of the Lu family, I don't want to see the Lu family and Qujia Village suffer from both sides."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Aunt Niu again.

"The most important thing right now is to find Uncle Qu Liu, and then find the buyer behind it, and return the money to others. I think the Lu family will make a decision on the next thing."

"But Aunt Niu really doesn't know where Brother Qu Liu has gone. I can testify to this."

Wei replied confidently.

"I believe she didn't lie."

As Qu Yunchu's eyes flashed, he slowly looked at Qu'a'a who was lowering his head to burn the paper money, and suddenly thought of the ghost who had escaped just now.

The man hid in Ah Ah's body but did not harm her, which shows that this ghost has no malice towards her.

And Ah Ah is so young, she is not afraid of his hideous appearance at all, and even took off the jade plate of the body protection so that he can get close to her, which also shows that she and this ghost should know each other and have a very good relationship.

Thinking back to the man's bloody body, she probably guessed that it was someone from the village who was killed by Lu Wenqian.

So much time has passed, but he is still nostalgic and unwilling to reincarnate, probably because he still has something he can't let go of in this world.

Thinking of this, Qu Yunchu asked Wei Shi and everyone about the situation of the deceased.

Li Zheng came one by one, but when it came to the last person, everyone's emotions became quite moved.

"The most worrying thing is the child Qu Cong. He married his wife for only a few months, and Liu Siniang was just pregnant, so he passed away."

At this point, Rizheng stroked his beard and sighed heavily.

"This child has a hard life. His parents passed away early and he has no other relatives at home. Now he finally has some hope. Who knows that God will not fulfill his wishes?
Alas, his wife cried her heart out after hearing the bad news. She searched for life several times and almost had an abortion. If we hadn't persuaded her to think about Qu Cong's only bloodline, I'm afraid she would have gone with Qu Cong long ago. "

Hearing this, Qu Yunchu couldn't help but glance at A'a secretly, and saw a crystal teardrop falling silently from the corner of her eye, moistening her mourning clothes.

She suddenly understood.

It seems that the ghost is undoubtedly Qu Cong.

He didn't know what kind of friendship he had with A'A that could make this little one willing to risk his own body to protect him.

It's a pity that I have changed my body and can't let this little one talk to me.

Everyone was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere when they suddenly saw a burly woman running in.

In such a cold weather, she was so hot that she was sweating profusely. She ran and shouted:

"It's not good, it's not good, Li Zheng, Si Niang is about to give birth."
