Zhoujiacun —
Brother Zhou pointed at Zhou Zhi's face and mocked, "You didn't have the ability, but you insisted on being a good person. Now look what happened, you've been kicked out of the house with nothing. Are you happy now?"
Zhou Zhi and Zhou Chenshi looked displeased, but did not refute them.
Brother Zhou continued, "Look, you only have two daughters, the family line is about to end! Now that they've been separated, the family line is definitely over! How did you become the one without a family? You..."
Brother Zhou relentlessly attacked Zhou Zhi, focusing on the term "extinction of the family line."
Zhou Zhi clenched his fists at his sides and remained silent.
Zhou Chenshi felt as if every word her brother Zhou said was a knife stabbing into her heart. Her face turned deathly pale, and she became unsteady on her feet.
"Brother Zhou, Sister-in-law Zhou!"
Xia Mo had already seen the situation here through her divine sense, yet she still maintained a pleasant and sweet smile.
This was the first time Zhou Zhi had seen Xia Mo's face without a face mask, and like everyone else present, he was stunned.
Sister-in-law Zhou's eyes widened, her heart pounding with nervousness. At this moment, she had no mind to think about not having given birth to a son; she was afraid that Xia Mo had come to steal her husband.
Those present, apart from the person leading the way, subconsciously ignored Xia Sange's presence, assuming that only Xia Mo was the girl looking for Zhou Zhi.
Upon seeing this, Brother Zhou's eyes widened, and the envy, jealousy, and hatred in his eyes seemed to solidify and well up with liquid.
Brother Zhou's eyes were glued to Xia Mo's face as he said to Zhou Zhi, "You cunning third brother, you've already gotten together with such a beautiful girl, no wonder..."
Brother Zhou blurted out, "You must have stood up to testify for this girl, right? Now you've got what you wanted, are you happy? Fine, fine, you don't even care about your own wife and two daughters... Well... your current wife can only give you daughters, causing you to have no offspring, so you have to spoil the new one..."
Brother Zhou's thoughts wandered, and he started spouting nonsense.
The villagers from Zhoujia Village who had gathered around listened with great interest.
Xia Mo said to Xia Sange, who was following behind him, "Third Brother, slap him in the face!"
At this moment, Xia Sange was still a little slow to react, his mind filled with the memory of Xia Mo taking him at a speed faster than "flying".
Xia Sange's soul had not yet returned, but upon hearing Xia Mo's command, his body moved instinctively.
Brother Xia carried three large bags of braised food in one hand and slapped Brother Zhou across the face with the other.
Brother Zhou reacted, but he wasn't as quick as Brother Xia. Brother Zhou's face was slapped hard, his head was knocked to the side, his mouth was broken and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Brother Zhou tasted the blood in his mouth and glared at Brother Xia.
The pain finally brought Brother Zhou, who had been dazed by the lard, back to his senses.
Xia Mo walked up to Zhou Chenshi and introduced herself: "My surname is Xia. Brother Zhou is going to the yamen today to stand in for my brother. My brother's name is Xia Shenggen, and I am his younger sister."
Faced with Xia Mo's beauty, Zhou Chenshi's uneasy gaze swept back and forth across Xia Mo's face. Was this pretty girl really not here to steal her husband?
"Oh, how dare you hit me?! I'm the elder brother of your benefactor!" When Brother Zhou heard that it was the younger sister of the family Zhou Zhi had helped to testify, his eyes lit up and he began to elevate his status.
Xia Mo looked at Xia San Ge and ordered, "Take him down!"
Brother Zhou had already reacted and tried to hide behind Zhou Zhi, but he wasn't agile enough and couldn't keep up with Brother Xia's speed.
Xia Sange reached out and grabbed Zhou Dage's arm, then swung him up with one hand, easily knocking him to the ground.
"boom--"
Brother Zhou slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud thud that made one's teeth ache and inexplicably caused pain in their backs as well.
Brother Zhou was in so much pain that he lay on the ground groaning and was unable to get up for a while.
Xia Mo looked at Xia Sange, a happy smile spreading across her face. She didn't sympathize with Zhou Dage, who was in so much pain he couldn't get up. Instead, her eyes lit up, and she gave Xia Sange a thumbs up with a beaming smile.
Xia Mo turned around, looking down at Brother Zhou with disdain. Her pink lips parted slightly as she said, "We're not your parents, so we have no reason to spoil you. You'd better watch your mouth."
When Brother Zhou heard Xia Mo's beautiful voice, he felt as if it were coming from hell. He couldn't help but tremble. This was no ordinary beauty!
As Xia Mo turned to Zhou Chenshi, she smiled and urged Xia Sange to quickly bring over the three large bags of food in his hands.
Xia Sange handed three large bags of food to Zhou Zhi and said, "These are homemade braised foods. Please try them."
Zhou Zhi looked at the three large bags of food and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should accept them.
"Let's disperse," Xia Mo began to shoo them away.
The people of Zhoujia Village, seeing Xia Mo's handsome face, were reluctant to leave. Xia Mo called out, but it was no use, so she didn't bother to say anything more and instead looked at Xia Sange.
Brother Xia shouted at the top of his lungs, "Disperse! Disperse, everyone!"
The shock of Xia Sange easily throwing Zhou Dage to the ground with one hand was still lingering. Even though Xia Sange didn't look that strong, his strength was so great that it was quite frightening.
The villagers from Zhoujia Village who had surrounded Xia Mo looked back at her face a few times with reluctance before leaving.
Xia Mo asked, "Brother Zhou, do you have a place to stay? We'd like to come to your place to talk."
Zhou Zhi couldn't hide his bitter smile, and said with a dry throat, "I... was left with nothing."
The few items that could be counted next to Zhou Zhi's feet were what Grandpa Zhou had given to Zhou Zhi's branch of the family.
"Nowhere to stay? Shall we go to Old Village Chief Zhou's house first?" Xia Mo suggested.
Zhou Zhi said, "There's an abandoned house near the mountains in the village. We plan to make do there."
Xia Mo nodded without asking any further questions: "Okay, we'll go there to find you later. Let's go to Old Village Chief Zhou's house first."
Zhou Zhi nodded nervously, puzzled.
Xia Sange was also puzzled: Why did his little sister go to see the old village chief of Zhoujia Village?
The old village chief of Zhoujia Village was also surnamed Zhou. He was in his seventies and was also the patriarch of the Zhou family. The village head was a person with a different surname.
When Xia Mo arrived at the village chief Zhou's house, the village chief had already learned the news.
A super pretty little girl was coming to his house, and everyone in Old Zhou's family, young and old, came out to watch.
Xia Mo got straight to the point, saying, "Grandpa Village Chief, we want to buy that house near the mountain and put it under Zhou Zhi's name."
Village Chief Zhou was surprised.
“That land is cheap because it’s close to the mountains and forests, and wild beasts occasionally pass by. You can get a plot of land for just three taels of silver, but… that’s a place where wild beasts often pass by,” Old Village Chief Zhou disagreed.
If a wild beast were to come down from the mountain, Zhou Zhi's family would be the first to be hit, wouldn't that be disastrous?
