A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 225 The Officials Are Here

Song Ning and his companions walked out from the crowd, their faces full of frost. They walked up to the steps and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? How dare you beat someone up in broad daylight?"

They had actually been watching for quite a while. Song Ning originally wanted to see how Chen Laoer and his wife would respond, but she didn't expect that this old hag would start hitting people over a disagreement.

Ever since Song Ning appeared, Chen Laosi's eyes were glued to Song Ning and couldn't be moved away. His wife noticed his abnormality and pinched him hard before he calmed down.

Chen Laosi's wife was jealous and crazy. She was such a foxy woman that she could seduce a man's soul as soon as she appeared. She looked at Song Ning with contempt and said sarcastically, "Oh! Whose family are you from? You are so nosy that you even meddle in other people's affairs."

"That's right. What does it have to do with you if I teach my son and daughter-in-law a lesson?" Old Lady Chen grunted and looked at Song Ning with a very unfriendly look.

"If you teach your son and daughter-in-law a lesson in your own home, I have no right to interfere. But if you teach my servants a lesson in front of my house, I will take care of it." Song Ning sneered and said forcefully, "I don't care if they are your son and daughter-in-law, but they are my family members now. Even if they are servants, it is not your turn to beat and humiliate them in front of us at my doorstep."

Chen Laoer and his wife were often beaten and scolded in the past, and they were used to it. They didn't feel any pain after being beaten and scolded by their mother. However, Song Ning's words instantly broke their defense. Their master was protecting them. It turned out that being protected by someone felt so good.

Chen Laoer lowered his head, afraid of exposing his red eyes, but his wife Xu couldn't help sobbing and said, "Madam..."

"W-what do you mean?"

The four adults of the Chen family didn't expect that their luck would be so bad. When they arrived today, they ran into the owner of this house.

The three of them couldn't help but look at Chen Laosi's wife. Didn't they say that the host usually didn't come? How come they bumped into her when they first arrived?

Old Lady Chen didn't want to be suppressed by a younger generation, so she said stubbornly: "Even if they are working in your house now, they are still my son and daughter-in-law."

Song Ning glanced at Chen Laoer and his wife, then turned to the other members of the Chen family with a solemn expression, "It's a pity that they are not slaves now. They have sold themselves into slavery. From the moment they signed the contract, they have nothing to do with you."

"What did you say? They sold themselves? Where was the money they got from selling themselves? How much silver did they get?" Old Lady Chen asked several questions in a sharp voice. She was not concerned about why her son and daughter-in-law sold themselves, but about the money they got from selling themselves.

Song Ning couldn't help but feel sad for Chen Laoer and his wife. This old woman was simply a replica of Hang's mother! Selfish and cold.

Chen Laosi pulled his parents aside and whispered something. Song Ning and the others could not hear it, but Uncle Chai Wu was a martial artist and his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. He heard that the family was planning how to get the money from Chen Laoer and the others. Uncle Chai Wu mocked in his heart, this family was too shameless.

Soon, under the guidance of Chen Laosi, Chen Lao Niang came over and said to Song Ning: "They are my son and daughter-in-law, and I haven't agreed to let them sell themselves. You are forcing them to buy and sell. This is not counted. Either you give me the money for selling your bodies now, or let my son and daughter-in-law go. We are in need of manpower to work in the fields at home!"

Song Ning sneered. This was a really good plan. "I don't have any silver. If you want to take them back, you can use the silver to redeem them."

"You, you are forcing people to buy and sell. You are a robber."

"Whatever you say, I still say the same thing. If you want to take the person away, you have to pay the ransom with silver. Otherwise, don't come to my door to make trouble. I think it's unlucky." After Song Ning finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the house, saying, "Uncle Chai, send him away. If anyone dares to make trouble again, you will throw him out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Uncle Chai had originally pulled down the brim of his hat and deliberately lowered his head, but at this moment he suddenly raised his head, and his horrible face was immediately exposed to everyone.

He didn't have to do anything. Just seeing his face almost frightened the Chen family members out of their wits. They backed away one after another, and the little kid was even scared to tears.

They retreated to the street, a certain distance away from the gate of the house. Seeing that the other party did not seem to intend to do anything to them, they gradually became bolder.

Old Lady Chen slapped her thigh, sat on the ground, and pretended to cry, "Everyone come and see, the owner of this house forced my son and daughter-in-law to sell themselves into slavery, and he didn't even give me money, it's so unfair..."

An uninformed person passing by gave them a clear answer: "Oh, this is robbery! Auntie, if your son and daughter-in-law were forced, you should report to the county government and ask the government to send someone to arrest this family for questioning. Maybe you can get back the money they paid for selling their bodies or give your son and daughter-in-law back their freedom."

After the Chen family members discussed it, they decided that this method would work, so they immediately asked for the direction of the county government office and went there.

In the house, Song Ning looked at Chen Laoer and his wife kneeling in front of her, with a serious face, and did not speak for a long time. This time, she did not let them stand up and let them kneel there.

After a long while, she spoke faintly, "Tell me, how did they find this place?"

"Madam, we, we don't know how they found this place." Xu raised her head and patted her chest to assure, "Madam, we are here and we have never told any of them."

"If I had come a little later, would they have already entered the house? If it had been ten days or half a month later, would the owner of this house have to be changed to the Chen family name?" Song Ning said, putting the teacup down heavily.

Chen Laoer and his wife were shocked. This was the first time they saw the lady get angry. In the past, they had seen the lady who was always smiling and talking, which always gave them the illusion that the lady had no temper.

"Madam, calm down. How dare we..."

Xu hurriedly explained, but Song Ning raised her hand to interrupt her, "I saw it, you stopped them from entering, but, Chen Laoer, what about you? What do you say?" Her gaze turned to Chen Laoer.

"Madam, I'm wrong. Please punish me!" Chen Lao Er kowtowed to Song Ning and explained, "I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that since they came here from afar, I planned to let them in to have a drink of water and then send them out..."

"Based on your understanding of your parents and brothers, do you think they can get out easily once they come in?" Song Ning laughed at his naivety.

Sure enough, Chen Laoer was speechless after being asked this question. What his wife said was right. Given the personalities of his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, if he let them in today, it would be difficult to ask them to leave later. They would not leave unless they were skinned alive.

But he was still deceiving himself and was not as clear-headed as his own wife. He felt ashamed to face his master.

At this moment, Mudun rushed in and said, "Aunt, the officials are here."
