Chapter 48 Kick Them Out
Yang Fugui was actually right, Wang Guifang would have just taken the paper casually and wrapped some yellow earth to scare people, but no one in the village dared to bet then.
Her trick did work previously.
But now it's different, there were two wells in the village, and everyone was standing up for the Wu family who would not do the bastard thing of not letting villagers fetch water.
Seeing that Yang Fugui had guessed the truth, Wang Guifang felt flustered for a moment, but soon raised her chin again, braced herself and argued, "Don't believe? You can take a try, and then you all will know whether the poison kills people or not!"
At that moment, her son Xia Mingyi hurriedly ran over, shouting, "Mom! There's water! There's really water!"
Wang Guifang was a bit angry by his son's interruption, "What do you mean? Why you raved so badly. Mind your manners."
Xia Mingyi took a couple of breaths and continued, "Mom, it's Wu family's dry well that's springing up water again!"
Wang Guifang was stunned, and suddenly her voice rose much higher, "How is that possible? They definitely lied to you!"
Xia Mingyi was so anxious that he stomped his foot, "It's true! Mom! I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?"
Wang Guifang panicked in a totally mess. She kept muttering, "How... how could it be possible? Hasn't that well dried up for a long time? How could it gush water again? Impossible! I don't believe! I don't!"
Yang Fugui had put up with her quite a long time. Now that Wang Guifang had no stick to beat them with, Yang thought they should no longer tolerate Wang and her son.
He waved his hand and said to villagers behind him, "Guys, kick these two people out of our village! They can't come here forever."
The moment Yang's words were over, two buff men came forward with straw ropes in their hands. Seeing this, Wang Guifang shouted while struggling, "Why? Why should we be driven away? Our Xia family generations are always members of this village!"
Yang Fugui had been annoyed these days so he directly pointed to her and cursed, "Why? Just because of your wicked deed. Look around, could you find anyone who can tolerate you?"
Wang Guifang looked sideways at Xia Changsheng who was standing aside and implored, "Patriarch! Please say something."
Xia Changsheng hunched over with his hands behind his back, seeing Wang imploring him, he swung his arms and snorted coldly, "Heaven's sins can be forgiven but sins committed by yourself deserve the punishment."
Then, Xia Changsheng talked to Yang Fugui, "Old Yang, this time, I'm on your side."
Not only Xia Changsheng, other Xia family members behind him also took a clear stand one after another, "Yes! We're all on your side! Kick them out of the village!"
In retrospect, villagers helped these two people a lot from time to time considering them clansmen. But who could ever expect Wang Guifang and her son intended to risk villagers' life for their own sake.
What ungrateful people they were!
Su Jiuyue, holding Wu Xiyuan's hand, stood far away and watched such scene without any expression changes.
Suddenly, Wu Xiyuan wove a dog's tail grass into a rabbit-like one, like a magic and swung it in front of Su Jiuyue's eyes, which draw her attention and cheered her.
"A bunny!"
In Su Jiuyue's childhood, a big brother Jiang living next to her home could also be able to weave the bunny. But after his younger siblings were born, he had less time to play together with other kids.
Su Jiuyue's surprising and joyful look also cheered Wu Xiyuan. His black and shiny eyes were brimmed with happiness. Wu stretched out his arms and said happily, "Here, for you!"
Su Jiuyue accepted the bunny which brightened her eyes. She plucked the bunny's ears with her slender finger. The fluffy shaking-ears were really adorable.
Raising her head, Su Jiuyue curiously stared at Wu Xiyuan with her bright eyes, "Was this bunny made by yourself?"
