Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11839

Yang Ruoqing mobilized all of Luo's secret guards and also gathered dozens of people from the village's transport team, dividing them into several groups, and then they went into the mountains from several directions to find Xiu Hong and Sixi.

Back home, Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming, Yang Yongzhi, and Xiaojie's father all came over. At this point, it was no longer possible to hide the truth, so some villagers who were close to the Yang and Luo families also took the initiative to come and join the search team.

"It's all over. Even if we get it back, our reputation is ruined." Cao Bamei was as dejected as a wilted eggplant.

As soon as he said that, he was scolded by Old Yang.

"At this critical juncture, why worry about reputation? In the face of life and death, reputation is worth less than a penny!"

Sun and Zhao Liuer were also there to comfort Cao Bamei, saying, "As long as we can find Er Yatou safely, that's better than anything else."

Liu scoffed and said to Cao Bamei, "You're the only one hiding here, sneaking around looking for someone, not daring to make a fuss. As for Sixi's mother, she was already shouting at the top of her lungs, with her whole family going around the village looking for Sixi. Sixi's mother even told everyone she met that her Sixi had been kidnapped by your second daughter!"

Cao Bamei was so angry at Sixi's mother's words that she trembled all over. "She's talking nonsense! She's spouting rubbish! My perfectly good young lady has been corrupted by Sixi!"

"This won't do, where is she spewing filth? I have to go find her!"

……

Near the old maple tree at the village entrance, Sixi's mother was surrounded by a group of women asking her all sorts of questions.

"Sixi's mother, your Sixi has run away and you still have the mind to stay here? Aren't you going to go look for him?"

“My husband, Si Xi, and several uncles have all gone to look for them. Da Xi, Er Xi, and San Xi have also gone. Someone has to stay at home, right?”

"Then go home and wait at home. Why are you still out here?"

Aren't you worried about your son, Sixi?

"What am I worried about? My son Sixi is a boy, and boys don't suffer losses. If anyone is going to suffer a loss, it's the girl!"

"Oh dear, Sixi's mother, don't say that. Your Sixi ran away with Xiuhong, aren't you going to go to the Yang family to give them an explanation? Aren't you afraid the Yang family will come after you for her?"

"You're talking nonsense! It's their daughter who ran off with my Sixi! Their daughter disappeared after breakfast, while my Sixi disappeared before noon. They came first, and I didn't even go to the Yang family to ask for her back. How dare they come after me?"

"That's the Yang family, aren't you afraid of offending them and having a hard time in the village?"

"Ha, I'm just a country woman, I have nothing to lose, so what if I'm a high-ranking official? I haven't killed anyone or set any fires, why would they arrest me and behead me?"

"If they really want to mess with me, I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll just take a rope and hang myself in the mistress's room. My lowly reputation is worthless. Those officials and their families are the ones who value their lives and their reputations. I'm just a worthless person who's been rolling in the mud and water. I'm not even afraid of the emperor himself..."

Well, she's a real shrew; even the emperor couldn't do anything about her.

"I heard the Yang family has sent out a lot of people to search! I guess they'll find them soon, right?"

"Of course! How far can two kids run? They probably didn't even bring any food with them..."

"Si Xi's mother, if we find her, your family will have to acknowledge Xiu Hong as your daughter-in-law, right?" The women around were all people who loved to watch the drama unfold.

In everyone's perception, the two young people have eloped for most of the day, essentially sacrificing the girl's reputation to secure a future for their relationship. Therefore, under normal circumstances, once they are found, both sets of parents will tacitly approve and let them go with the flow.

However, there are always exceptions, such as Sixi Niang.

"When my family takes a wife, we marry a proper, innocent girl."

"Elopement means becoming a concubine, that's how it's portrayed in plays, right? Even if Xiu Hong is found, at worst she'll just be a concubine for my Sixi..."

"Be your mother!"

A curse came from outside the crowd, interrupting Sixi Niang's voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and, sure enough, it was Cao Bamei.

Beside Cao Bamei were Liu Shi, Da Sun Shi, Sun Shi, and others.

When the group of women saw Cao Bamei's posture, they instinctively moved aside to make way for her, leaving Sixi Niang standing alone in the same spot.

Cao Bamei rushed to Sixi Niang in three quick steps, slapped her across the face, and cried out, "You old hag who spews filth! Even in this state, you're still throwing mud at my daughter! I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"

Cao Bamei grabbed and pulled at Sixi Niang's mouth and face with both hands. Sixi Niang only reacted after being slapped and subconsciously raised her hand to pull Cao Bamei's hair.

Cao Bamei was almost a head shorter than Sixi Niang and was very thin. Sixi Niang had given birth to four sons and worked both inside and outside the house, which made her very strong and sturdy.

In addition, the Si Xi family all liked to beat their wives when they were drunk. Through years of real-life experience fighting with Si Xi's father, Si Xi's mother had also become skilled at it. So, although Cao Ba Mei took the initiative by striking first, Si Xi's mother quickly turned the tide of the battle.

"Oh no, oh no! Eighth Sister is going to be at a disadvantage!" Liu Shi saw that Cao Eighth Sister had already been pinned to the ground by Sixi Niang, who was straddling Cao Eighth Sister's stomach. (Blocking...)

The weight pressed down so hard that Cao Bamei couldn't even muster the strength to struggle; all she could do was lie on the ground and take the beating.

Liu clapped her hands and shouted excitedly, then ran forward and grabbed Sixi Niang's hair from behind, forcefully pulling her off Cao Bamei...

Si Xi Niang turned around and used one hand to scuffle with Liu Shi, while Cao Ba Mei immediately started scratching Si Xi Niang's face.

Among the women watching were Si Xi Niang's sisters-in-law. When they saw Si Xi Niang being beaten, they all rolled up their sleeves, ready to lend a hand. But Da Sun Shi stepped forward, spread her arms, and blocked the women, saying, "Come on, anyone who wants to help, you'll have to get past me first!"

"I'll test my skills against her first."

With the size of Madam Sun's body, let alone the women in front of her, even a few strong farmers would be hard to handle.

A fat pig weighing over 200 pounds, Da Sun could easily swing it over her shoulder with a single stroke...

Of course, that was ten years ago. But even now, she can easily handle anything weighing around 100 pounds, whether it's dead or alive.

At that moment, the women who had been eager to fight became hesitant, and none of them dared to step forward and provoke Da Sun's bad luck. So they could only shout loudly from the side: "We're all from the same village, we'll see each other all the time, don't fight!"

"Let's talk this out calmly and not ruin the harmony!"
