Li Mo knew that the butler Chu said on the surface that he was cooperating and inviting, but it was just a nice way of saying it. She believed that as long as she refused, they would definitely not be as polite as they are now.
Otherwise, why did you come here to invite only one person, and you have to bring so many people behind you? Moreover, everyone is tall and burly, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
However, even though he knew it, Li Mo still refused.
This is her home, here is her husband and children, leaving here to go to the capital is equivalent to selling herself to Miss Nine, she will not know if she can come back in this life, how could she follow obediently to the capital
Li Mo took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said, "I'm sorry, Steward Chu, I don't think we can cooperate on this matter, the capital is too far away, I have a husband and son, it's impossible to leave them behind, I hope Steward Chu can do it Understand me, find someone else."
Steward Chu's smiling face froze slightly when he heard the words, and a sharp flash of sternness flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a polite smile, "Miss Song, you must know that when you go to the capital, your family will not only receive a large amount of money, but also have a high status." It's different, you will be working in the family of a high official in the future, and everyone who sees you will respect you three points, how can it be compared now? I know, your family is very short of money, right? Such a large sum of money, It is impossible for you to earn money for the rest of your life, but now as long as you agree, you can change to a better house, and you will eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the future, what's wrong with that?"
Li Mo sneered in her heart, hum, why pay me three points, just be a servant! What is popular and spicy is nothing but a person, without even the basic dignity, and his own life and death are still in the hands of others. If he said this to an ordinary girl from a poor family, it might still make her feel better, but it's too early to lie to her.
Controlling the expression on her face, Li Mo concealed the sarcasm in her heart, pretended to be reluctant, choked up and said: "Housekeeper Chu, it really can't be done, my husband has a disabled leg, and there is no other family to take care of him. I’m so young, how can I leave them at ease, no matter how much money I have, I can’t let me leave them, Steward Chu, please go back and tell the magistrate about my difficulties, I really can’t go, thank you for your kindness gone."
Steward Chu saw Li Mo's resolute tone, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes. Lan De told Li Mo again, then turned to look at Song Dashan and said, "Mr. Song, you think so too? Women are ignorant and can't tell the difference." As the head of the family, you have to think about the seriousness of the matter."
Hmph, if a woman doesn't want it, he doesn't believe that her husband doesn't want it. With one hundred taels, you can buy a house again, and you can marry two beautiful wives and beautiful concubines. I don't know how much better than living this poor life now. As long as you are a man, you can't be tempted.
However, Song Dashan's performance disappointed him.
Song Dashan's complexion was worse than Li Mo's, his fists were clenched tightly, veins were popping out of his hands, and the words in his mouth were extremely hard, "What my wife means is what I mean, neither the child nor I can do without her, She absolutely can't leave, so I have to live up to your cooperation."
"You...you..." Butler Chu was speechless for a moment.
After a while, his expression turned cold, and he was no longer as friendly as before, and his tone became hardened, "Song Xianggong, Song Lady, you should think about it, this is a major event in the county magistrate's family, if you delay For such a big event, if something goes wrong, don’t blame the county magistrate. Our adults love the people like children, which is why I came to invite you politely. But if you are too ignorant of good and evil, the consequences will not be borne by ordinary people like you worthy!"
This is not a lure, and a complete plan to intimidate.
Li Mo also clenched her fists tightly, thinking of countermeasures quickly in her mind.
At this time, Song Dashan put his hands together and arched his body slightly, making a bow, "Steward Chu, I believe that the Lord loves the people like a son, and will understand our difficulties and will not force us. Go back and explain the difficulties of our husband and wife to the adults, I believe the adults will definitely hire someone else."
"Presumptuous! You simply don't know what's good!" As soon as Song Dashan's words fell, Steward Chu glared, pointed at Song Dashan and shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are, my lord invites you to save face, you Do you still think you can refuse at will? I will ask again for the last time, will Mrs. Song come with us!"
Li Mo also went all out, raised her head and said, "Forgive me for not being able to go with you, my lord, please forgive me!"
Butler Chu's face was ashen. It was the first time someone had disrespected him so much. He pointed at Li Mo and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a toast and you don't eat or drink as punishment, so don't blame me for being rude. Come on, give me Mrs. Song Get in the car!"
As soon as Steward Chu's words fell, the men standing behind who hadn't spoken immediately stepped forward, grabbed Li Mo's arm and dragged her out of the door.
"What are you doing! Let me go! Is this how the dignified county magistrate forces the common people!" Li Mo struggled desperately, but she couldn't let go, her arms were almost numb from the pain from being grabbed.
Song Dashan's face was ashen, and he rushed up the moment they made a move, and punched the faces of the two who grabbed Li Mo fiercely, knocking them aside at once, and Li Mo was also taken away. Gotta fall over the side.
Mei Zi, who was already screaming in fright, immediately ran over to help Li Mo up, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you okay!"
Li Mo stood up, before she had time to answer Mei Zi's words, she immediately looked at Song Dashan who was already in a ball with those two people, her eyes were red with worry, "Dashan... Dashan..."
Song Dashan was good at fighting with two people, but the housekeeper Chu brought more than two people, the man who was not moving next to him also jumped up and beat Song Dashan. Now, five people beat Song Dashan. Dashan was one, and Song Dashan was punched many times on the face and body, and another person kicked Song Dashan fiercely in the stomach, kicked Song Dashan to the ground, and rolled back several times.
"Mountain!"
"elder brother!"
"Daddy!"
Li Mo rushed over immediately, seeing Song Dashan's rapidly red and swollen face and painfully rickety back, tears could not stop streaming down, "How are you, Dashan? Are you okay? Dashan... woo woo..."
Song Dashan coughed twice and got up with difficulty, "It's okay, I'm okay, don't cry, don't cry."
Before he could comfort Li Mo, he immediately took the hoe placed by the wall in his hand, stood in front of Li Mo, pointed the hoe at those people, and said with a stern face, "Since you insist on forcing us people, Then I will fight with you too, come on!"
Several people looked at each other and looked at Butler Chu waiting for his signal.
Steward Chu's face was sullen, and he waved his big hand, "Give it to me, I must take this woman away today!"
After hearing Steward Chu's order, several people stopped hesitating and rushed towards Song Dashan immediately.
Song Dashan took the hoe and hit the visitor fiercely without hesitation. For a while, blood was seen on the hoe, and the two people who were hit by the hoe also wailed and held their injured parts one after another.
Seeing this, the remaining three people who were not injured didn't dare to move anymore. They didn't have weapons in their hands, and they would only be injured if they went up.
Seeing that they were about to reach a stalemate, at this moment, a man quickly ran to Meizi and the two children, and while Meizi was not paying attention, he hugged the two children.
"If you resist again, I will kill these two children!" said the man holding the two children viciously.
"Wow, mother, uncle, save me! Wow..." Xiao Shu was so frightened that he cried immediately, struggling with his little hands and feet.
Xiaobao also cried, but he didn't cry out like Xiaoshu, but struggled with his teary eyes open.
Seeing this scene, Meizi, Li Mo and Song Dashan's heart almost jumped out, and their eyes almost burst open.
"Xiaoshu! Xiaobao!" Meizi collapsed on the ground in fright.
Li Mo trembled, her body trembling, "Let go of the child! What are you trying to do to us adults! Those are two children who don't understand anything!"
Steward Chu stepped forward and looked at Song Dashan with a smirk, "You put down your hoe now, or I won't guarantee the safety of these two children!"
The veins on Song Dashan's forehead were almost poking out of the skin, the anger in his eyes seemed to overwhelm people, and he wished he could go up and tear those people up now.
But the child is still in their hands, so there can't be any mistakes.
With trembling hands, the corners of Song Mingyang's eyes turned red, and he slowly put down the hoe in his hand.
Seeing that Song Dashan put down his hoe, the remaining four people immediately surrounded him, tied up Song Dashan's legs and feet, pressed them down firmly, and tied Song Dashan up with the rope they brought with them.
After tying up Song Dashan, the man holding the two children immediately said to Li Mo: "Now, don't force us to do it, you go to the carriage by yourself."
Li Mo took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't resist today, she wiped away her tears, and walked out the door.
"Li Mo! Lady! Lady!" Song Dashan struggled desperately with a ferocious face, but he couldn't get away, so he could only watch Li Mo leave with tearful eyes.
Meizi also cried uncontrollably, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Woooo..."
Watching Li Mo obediently get into the carriage by herself, the rest of the men also got into the carriage, while the two little guys were put down at the door, and immediately ran into the house crying.
Xiaobao threw himself on Song Dashan, crying desperately: "Mother! Mother has been taken away! Daddy, save mother! Save mother!"
Meizi endured the feeling of powerlessness, and hurriedly untied Song Dashan's body with trembling hands, but she didn't untie it for a long time.
Finally, the rope was untied, and Song Dashan immediately got up and rushed out the door, limping and running desperately, chasing towards the direction out of the village.
However, the speed of the carriage cannot be chased by manpower. Song Dashan chased for half an hour without seeing a single shadow. Finally, he tripped over a stone and fell hard to the ground, unable to get up.
"Ah—" Song Dashan thumped the ground fiercely, roaring out bursts of anger.
It's a pity that Li Mo's shadow is no longer on the rolling loess path.
Song Dashan's face was covered with bruises and blood, and his palms were also bleeding at the moment. He looked in a panic, but after yelling a few times, he immediately got up and rushed home again.
When he got home, without saying a word, Song Dashan pulled up the donkey cart, got in the cart and drove away. The speed was never urgent.
Song Dashan went to the gate of the yamen first, and when he got off the car, he beat the drum to complain, but when the policeman from the county yamen came out and asked what happened, he immediately coaxed Song Dashan out together, closed the gate of the county yamen, refused ignore.
Song Dashan ran to the county magistrate's mansion again, but unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him after knocking on the door for a long time, finally seeing that Song Dashan would not leave,
A group of guards came out, and Qi Li beat him up.
With injuries all over his body, Song Dashan rushed to the proprietress's shop without stopping, enduring severe pain. He heard that the proprietress was related to the magistrate's family, so maybe he could help.
Song Dashan ran to the shop at a very fast speed, and rushed in after getting off the car, he didn't care to startle the proprietress, and said something: "Sister Yue, just now the housekeeper of the magistrate's family took Li Mo away forcibly , I want to take Li Mo to the capital to be Miss Jiu's dressing girl, aren't you a relative of the magistrate's family, please help me save my wife!"
Seeing Song Dashan's horrific appearance at the moment, and listening to what he said, the proprietress was so startled that the handkerchief in her hand fell off, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Didn't Miss Jiu go to the capital? Why did you want to rob him?" Sister Li Mo going?"
Song Dashan hurriedly explained the cause and effect in a few words, and begged the proprietress to help him think of a solution.
The proprietress didn't know what was going on at this time, thinking of the temperament of Nazhi County, San Yiniang and Miss Jiu, she secretly thought it was terrible.
"Dashan, the county magistrate is indeed relative to us, and my husband is his cousin. We are protected by them when we do business in this town, but if you want to talk about this matter, I guess my uncle magistrate will not listen to me. But don't worry, I'll inquire about the news, at least I can know how the girl is doing."
Song Dashan nodded quickly, "Sister Yue, thank you, we will repay your kindness."
The proprietress didn't want to say much, so she called the clerk to give him a few instructions, and then hurried out.
Song Dashan was fidgeting in the shop, his whole body was like a restless leopard, and in the next second he was about to pounce fiercely and fight to the death.
After waiting for nearly two hours, the proprietress came back with sweat, but her face was very bad.
Song Dashan immediately greeted her, "Sister Yue, how is it? Where is my wife? Is she okay?"
The proprietress's expression was very bad, "I... I went to the door, but unfortunately, I heard that I came to inquire about this matter, but no one came out to see me, and they all said that there was something wrong, so the servants in the mansion came forward to let me Came back. This looks like prevarication to me."
Hearing this, Song Dashan felt as if all the strength in his body had been pulled away suddenly, and he fell on the chair all of a sudden, his face was gloomy.
