Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 263 Zhao Dazhuang is Extorted

Liu Mei reacted quickly and ran out, but soon returned. She glanced at the crowd of people who came out of the house after hearing the commotion, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"What's going on outside?" Yunyi glanced at her.

“Girl, it’s Xia Baozhu. She’s outside crying and shouting that…” Liu Mei glanced at Dazhuang’s mother, “that Dazhuang touched her body and he has to take responsibility.”

Yunyi's forehead throbbed. Even in such a small village, there were always strange people.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang's mother immediately stood up. "Impossible!" she exclaimed, and rushed out.

The others hurriedly followed, especially Gao Shunfang, who glared at Xiao Yushi before rushing out.

Xiao Yu's face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly ran out after him.

"Third Sister." Xia Zhaodi reached out and grasped Xia Laidi's hand, her face full of worry.

Xia Laidi suppressed her sadness and anger: "I'm fine." But tears kept falling, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe them with her sleeve, telling herself that there was nothing to cry about.

Outside the gate, Xia Baozhu tugged at Zhao Dazhuang's cotton-padded coat, crying and begging him to take responsibility.

Zhao Dazhuang wanted to break free but didn't dare to use force, his face turning red with anger, looking like he was about to cry.

"Let go." Big Zhuang's mother went over and yanked Xia Baozhu away. "You want to extort my son? No way."

"Auntie, how could I be trying to extort your son? It's clearly your son who took advantage of me." Seeing someone arrive, Xia Baozhu stopped her tantrum and instead became meek. "I'm an innocent woman, aren't you trying to drive me to my death?"

"Baozhu, what are you doing?" Madam Xiao hurriedly went over to pull her daughter away. "Go back quickly."

Xia Laidi and Xia Zhaodi, who followed behind, were trembling with anger, but they dared not utter a sound.

"Mother, why should I go back?" Xia Baozhu pushed Xiao Yu away. "Although Zhao Dazhuang is a bit old, he can earn money. Isn't it good for me to find you a son-in-law like that?"

"But……"

"Mother," Xia Baozhu said, clinging to Xiao Yushi and acting coquettishly, "If I don't marry him, how can I maintain my standing in the village? You can't just watch me die, can you?"

Ms. Xiao's heart softened immediately, and she couldn't help but look at Zhao Dazhuang: "Dazhuang, you..."

"You're dreaming! My Dazhuang would rather stay single than take your daughter!" Dazhuang's mother was trembling with anger.

"What are you saying? Didn't you say before that you were talking about my third daughter? It's just a matter of changing someone else, so why can't it work? We..." Mrs. Xiao's voice was clearly lacking in confidence.

"Get out!" Big Zhuang's mother roared.

“If you don’t take responsibility, I’ll report you to the authorities.” Xia Baozhu was fearless. “I’ll say you’re a hooligan and send you to jail.”

"You..." Da Zhuang's mother trembled with anger, but she couldn't say anything more.

Zhao Dazhuang's neck veins bulged, and he clenched and unclenched his fists, clearly indicating that if the other party hadn't been a woman, he would have swung his fist at her.

Yun Yi chuckled, walked over and patted Zhao Dazhuang on the shoulder: "Alright, you're one of my men. If I can't even protect you, how can I use anyone else?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dazhuang immediately relaxed, but felt incredibly aggrieved.

Da Zhuang's mother also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunyi looked at Xiao Yushi and Xia Baozhu: "Do you think I'm dead?"

Xiao Yu shrank back and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Yi.

"Are you going to report this to the authorities?" Yunyi asked Xia Baozhu.

"I..." Xia Baozhu still only knew Yunyi as a woman she had bought. Even though Yunyi had built a big courtyard, she still looked down on her. Hearing her question, she curled her lip and said, "Yeah, so what? You've taken a liking to him too? You're saying he's yours? You two have been having an affair for a long time? You're a widow, how shameless..."

Snapped!

Before Xia Baozhu could finish speaking, she was slapped hard across the face.

"How dare you talk nonsense about my young lady?" He Miao said, hands on her hips, looking at Xia Baozhu. "If you have such a foul mouth, I'll tear it off for you. You should be glad Ah Hong isn't here, otherwise you'd have broken arms and legs by now."

Hong Yi, who was busy outside, suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose. It must be that the young lady was missing her.

Yunyi was stunned for a moment. Didn't this girl know she was almost six months pregnant? How did she become so reckless?

Xia Baozhu was stunned by the attack. When she came to her senses and tried to fight back, she heard a wolf howl and a tiger roar, and then she saw two big guys rushing over.

People usually only see the gentle side of these beasts, and this was the first time they had seen them reveal their sharp teeth. They were all so frightened that they took two steps back.

"Ah!" Xia Baozhu screamed, trying to run but found her legs were weak and she sat down on the ground with a thud, and then a smell of urine filled the air.

Xiao Yu's legs were also too weak to walk.

Yunyi walked up to Xia Baozhu and looked down at her: "Are you going to the yamen to beat the drum and file a complaint yourself, or do you have to write a complaint and send it over?"

“The magistrate of Kang’an County, Li Guangzhao, was once my student.” Just then, Xiao Tai’an walked over slowly. “Although I am in trouble now, a teacher for a day is a father for life. If I write him a letter, he will still give me face.”

The expressions of the people around them became complicated. Everyone knew that Yunyi would bring a few people back from time to time. Although they didn't know what they did, they could tell that these people had extraordinary bearing and were out of place with peasants like them. Especially the old man in front of them, the children said that he knew a lot, from astronomy to geography, and probably used to be a high-ranking official.

Even if he's been exiled, he's not dead. Who knows if he'll ever return to the capital?

Therefore, everyone is usually very polite to these people, especially the old man whom Yunyi calls Grandpa, whom everyone respects.

Upon hearing that even the county magistrate was his student, one might wonder, "How high a position must he have held in the past?"

"Grandpa, there's no need for that." The village chief, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, hurriedly waved his hand. "It's such a small matter, Grandpa, don't be angry."

The other village elders who came along also had gloomy expressions.

"Grandpa, women's business is none of your concern. Go and rest. Jinxiu, there's something delicious in the kitchen. Take Grandpa to eat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxiu hurriedly helped Xiao Tai'an back.

"You two come back too," Yunyi called out to Sixteen and Twenty.

The two big guys shook their big heads and returned to Yunyi's side.

Twenty rubbed his big head against Yunyi's leg.

Sixteen immediately slapped it with its claws: "You dead tiger, you're a male, don't try to take advantage of the boss."
