Chapter 3449: Chapter 3450: Not a Good Sort

Shijian nodded, she too saw the woman who was tortured without a single intact piece of skin; according to the villagers, that woman was called Liu Rumei.

Moreover, this woman had sold herself to Liu Baixiao, being both his wife and his servant.

So, although life at Liu Baixiao’s home was somewhat impoverished, he truly did not need to do any work. The little farmland and all the household chores were done by Liu Rumei.

This woman worked relentlessly during the day and at night still had to serve Liu Baixiao. Even livestock weren’t as worn out as her.

And whenever Liu Rumei did anything that didn’t please Liu Baixiao even a bit, she would receive a harsh beating. With the indenture contract binding her, she dared not run away and could only endure.

"What’s more, Liu Baixiao is involved with a widow from the village, and they’ve had two children. Now, Liu Rumei has to take care of them, as well as serve the widow."

She said.

Lin Caisang: "..."

This Liu Baixiao is truly remarkable.

Speaking of which, Liu Rumei is indeed unlucky. How did Liu Baixiao catch her? Wasn’t it Liu Rumei who ran away first back then?

And if she guessed correctly, Liu Rumei must have stolen Liu Baixiao’s silver, right?

Even under these circumstances, she was caught by Liu Baixiao and forced to sign an indenture agreement?

So, Liu Rumei spent the first half of her life treating Liu Baixiao as cattle, only for Heaven to ensure she serves him as a beast of burden for the second half?

"Where are they?"

She asked Shijian, estimating these people gathered here weren’t decent ones.

"I’ve brought them all back with us, awaiting your instructions on what to do with them," Shijian inquired.

"What to do?"

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

What else? Let them stay with Lin Caihe. Isn’t there a shortage of manpower on the farm?

"Throw them all into the farm to work and reform their repulsive habits."

She instructed.

"Yes, Madam."

Shijian replied, promptly rounding up people prepared to take Liu Baixiao’s family away.

...

Outside the inn, Liu Rumei was escorted onto the carriage by several people, dared not utter a single word.

These years of torment by Liu Baixiao and the widow he cavorted with drained all her spirit. As long as she could have a bite to eat and avoid frequent beatings and scolding, she considered those her best days.

However, when she was tied onto the carriage and saw outside the curtain, two adults and a child coming out of the inn, her eyes widened instantly.

"Ah, Lin... Lin Caisang!"

Initially, when someone came to their home and rounded them up, she thought it was because Liu Baixiao had offended someone outside.

Who would have thought she’d actually see Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo here?

Does this mean the person who captured them was under these two? Were they here to bring Liu Baixiao back?

"Lin Caisang, Lin Caisang, how is... how is my Yushui doing, how is she?" She disregarded the glare from the person inside the carriage and tried to rush down.

The woman on the carriage saw this and immediately restrained her, but she continued to struggle forcefully.

Liu Baixiao said he beat Liu Yushui till she bled in the bamboo grove and fled without tending to her; she had no idea how her daughter was doing.
