Chapter 802: Running away
The Big Stone Village was filled with cries and screams on one side while the other side was filled with nothing but joyful shouts. The half which was crying was none other than the mer and children of the women who died, they knew that now that their mother and wife were dead they will be next to die one after another when Tan Mo and Xiao Yu heard their screams, they wanted to help them but when they realised that the mer and his children had also eaten human flesh they did not dare to bring them along.nov𝐄𝑙𝑢𝐬𝔅dot𝑐/o\𝗆
As for the other half it of course belonged to the Yang Jie and Qi Qing’s fraction, they were having the time of their lives while roasting the flesh of the woman who was killed in the tug and pull which took place in the Big Stone Village.
But this had nothing to do with them, they glanced at the house where Yang Jie was holding a banquet with the Village head and the rest of the women before turning around and rushing to their houses.
Xiao Yu did not even take a sip of water as soon as she stepped inside the house and started packing clothes and some money inside her clothes, seeing her like this Hu Pan was startled and so were the other two husbands.
” Wife, what are you doing?” Hu Pan asked in a hurry when she saw that her wife was stuffing two pairs of clothes in her clothes and was taking out the little savings that they had along with the land deeds.
” We are leaving,” Xiao Yu gritted out as she stuffed the clothes with money and deeds before turning to look at her husbands. ” If we stay here, we will definitely die, Yang Jie and the rest are having a merry time while eating that Dai woman, but they will not stay inside the house of the village head for long just pick two pairs of your clothes and then leave with me.”
If things became better she will come and sell this house and land but if not then she will simply think that this was the prize that she had to pay for saving her life!
” What …why?” Hu Pan was stunned when he heard that his wife was going to leave, even though he was scared, he never thought of leaving the house and this village. After all, there was nowhere they could go, if Xiao Yu runs away, will they live like a wandering family?
” Do you think that we still have the chance of staying alive if we don’t leave?” Xiao Yu hissed as she looked at Hu Pan and glared at her three husbands. ” We are the only one who did not touch human flesh, in case the Yamen finds out about this matter, we will become a liability. Use your brain little Pan, the reason the other villages have not said a word to the authorities is because their mer sons are trapped by the village head and they know that their sons will not be able to leave their village because their wives are not willing to give up on their lands.”
” They are afraid of their sons’ suffering which is why they are silent but as long as Village head Chou does not stop sooner or later the other two villages will run out of patience. Even if the maternal family of the mers try to stop them, the village heads of the two villages won’t stop when the pot of evil deeds is filled!”
With a solemn look on her face, Xiao Yu looked at her three husbands and then continued, ” Village head Chou knows that sister-in-law Tan and I are steel spine women, we are the only ones who are going against her——why else do you think she is targeting us?”
” But…But where will we go?” Hu Pan asked in a hurry as he carried his daughter to the front while carrying his son to the back.
” To your maternal family,” replied Xiao Yu with a heavy look in her eyes. ” If mother-in-law is willing to accept me, I am willing to marry under her family’s name even if I have to change the surname of our daughter.”
Xiao Yu had long thought it through, she knew that everything was give and take in this world. The Big River Village will not accept her and Tan Mo without them changing their family lineage and marrying into the family of their husband’s house, she would have implemented this plan long ago but Yang Jie was keeping a close eye on her and Tan Mo, today both her and Qi Qing were busy since they were drunk and they did not suspect that she and Tan Mo will leave their houses behind, then this was their chance!
When Hu Pan heard that his wife was willing to change their daughter’s surname to ‘Hu’ from ‘Xiao’ he was stunned, he could not help but stutter, ” If you marry into my family no one will respect you!”
It would become the biggest stain on Xiao Yu’s life!
Xiao Yu ruefully smiled and stated, ” I would rather carry the blame of being a spineless woman, than watching you all die one by one. When I married you three, I promised that I will treat you well and I am willing to go down with that promise!”
Seeing that he could not persuade Xiao Yu, Hu Pan could only close his mouth and pick up his clothes along with the kids. Huo Ci and Shu Shang also followed suit and soon their family snuck out of the village where they met with Tan family.
Tan Mo was carrying her feverish daughter on her back while Hu Bing was standing beside her carrying his mer son who looked scared but he knew that he needed to stay quiet which was why he made no sound.
” No one saw you right?” Tan Mo asked as she looked at Xiao Yu who shook her head and replied, ” I sent Shang’er to go and borrow some grains while peeking inside the Village head Chou’s house, they are still causing a ruckus.”
” Very well then,” when Tan Mo heard that no one followed Xiao Yu and her family she heaved a sigh of relief and then hitched her daughter up before saying, “Let’s go.”
