You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 189 Is This Really a Good Person?

As soon as the four men stood in the yard with sticks in their hands, the Bai family's father and son no longer dared to be arrogant.

Cheng Shuang asked the Peng brothers to keep an eye on them, then went into the room, took out a box, opened it, and found the indentures of Cheng Guqiu and her daughter.

"You can see it clearly."

Cheng Shuang showed them the indenture with a forced smile, "It has the official seal of Qushan County. Bai Jinhu, you sold your wife into slavery and the case is already filed at the county office. Now you're trying to argue. Do you want to go to the Huanhua County Office to determine whether this indenture is genuine?"

Bai Jinhu's face froze when he saw the deed. "That...that was because you tricked me into selling them. And I sold them to the Lu family, but now they are in your house. How do you explain this?"

Cheng Shuang put down the indentures and took out another document. "Mr. Lu was kind enough to go to the county government and help them cancel their slavery after three months. Now they are free citizens, living in the home of my niece. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"you......"

Bai Jinhu's expression changed and became irrefutable. He suddenly rushed over, picked up the indenture contract on the table, tore it up and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to destroy the evidence.

The four people holding sticks behind him tried to stop him, but Cheng Shuang raised her hand and said, "Let him eat."

Watching Bai Jinhu swallow the torn indenture, Cheng Shuang took out two more from the box. "Is it delicious? How about helping me eat the other two?"

The indentured slavery should have been burned after the registration was cancelled. She kept it just to prevent the Platinum Tiger from causing trouble, but she didn't expect it to really come.

What's the point of eating it? The records in the government office can't be deleted.

The sales contracts for land and population in Daliang have strict formats and archiving requirements. After being archived by the county government, they will be reported to the population archives in the capital. Unless a high-ranking official takes action, it is impossible to erase all the records.

Bai Jinhu stiffened his neck and swallowed the food in his throat, then started to act like a spoiled child. "Don't think I'm scared just because you threaten me with the government. If they don't go back with me today, I won't leave. I'll stay at your house and eat and drink as you wish."

"You are shameless." Cheng Guqiu was anxious. She knew that Bai Jinhu was capable of doing this.

Cheng Shuang patted the back of her hand soothingly, then turned around and said to the four people behind her, "These two broke into a private house. Beat them up and throw them out."

The four men behind had been wanting to take action for a long time, and immediately rushed forward with sticks. Bai Jinhu wanted to fight back, but Peng He stabbed him in the abdomen with a stick. The four men raised their sticks and beat the father and son.

At the entrance of the village, a luxurious carriage stopped under a big locust tree. Lu Yinyin got out of the carriage and ran angrily towards another carriage that had been following her.

"Xie Laosan, what on earth do you mean? You've already come to the village with me, and you're still saying we're going out for an outing?"

The carriage curtain was lifted by a fan, and Xie Shuyu stuck his head out with a smile, "Sister Lu, why are you so angry? I just came to the village for an outing."

"You're kidding me! Why are you coming to the village for a walk? You're obviously following me."

Lu Yinyin glared at him angrily, "You don't know the rules, believe it or not, I will tell your family to punish you."

When she left the city gate today, the servant found a carriage following behind. She sent someone to inquire and was told that it was the young master of the Xie family who was out of the city for an outing. She ignored it, but she didn't expect that the carriage followed all the way to the village.

If this gets out, who knows what kind of gossip will arise.

Lu Yinyin had no idea that Xie Shuyu had his servant bribe her servants to secretly inquire about Cheng Shuang's news. He then found out that she was going to the village to find Cheng Shuang today, so she followed her here on purpose.

Xie Shuyu was helped down from the carriage by his servant. "Sister Lu, you are wrong. Chengjia Village is surrounded by mountains and water, and the scenery is very pleasant. It is the perfect place for an outing. I am here to pick some today. I will invite friends to come over and have a good time later. Sister can also come with us."

After saying this, he opened his fan, walked forward, and said to the servant, "Please stop the carriage here. I want to go into the village and have a good look around every house."

Lu Yinyin was so angry that she stomped her feet behind him. "I'm so angry, what on earth does he want to do?"

"Miss," Xi Que whispered in her ear, "Could it be that the young master of the Xie family has taken a fancy to you?"

"Ah, what did you say?" Lu Yinyin widened her eyes with a look of horror.

Everyone in Luohe City knew that the third son of the Xie family was a playboy and a frequent visitor to brothels. It was said that even the most popular courtesan in the provincial capital had an affair with him.

He was seventeen years old this year, and the Xie family had already started arranging a marriage for him. However, because of his reputation, families of equal status in the city were unwilling to marry their daughters to him. Even wealthy families with girls of marriageable age would not allow their daughters to attend the flower-viewing party hosted by Mrs. Xie.

Some ordinary families wanted to marry into the family, but Mrs. Xie, who came from a small family, looked down on them.

You wouldn't really set your sights on her, would you?

Lu Yinyin looked at the back of the person in front of her and was frightened. She wanted to climb onto the carriage immediately and rush home as fast as possible to get as far away from this playboy as possible.

"Which house does the young lady live in?"

Xie Shuyu ignored Lu Yinyin, fanning himself and muttering, "Tsk, this village is really poor and the roads are uneven, but the scenery is really nice.

It seems like a house is being built in front, and it’s a blue brick house. That must be the richest house in the village.

Wow, are all those people working in the fields over there? That beautiful young lady isn't going to work in the fields too, is she?

A beautiful woman should be at home, living in luxury with a beautiful lady to look after her. Living in this poor village is simply a waste of her.”

As he was muttering to himself, the door of a house in front suddenly opened and two people were pushed out.

Then four men with sticks came out and pushed them a few times. The men with sticks kicked the two men to the ground and beat them with the sticks, making the two men scream.

Then a woman walked out of the door. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was delicate against the backdrop of a lavender dress. Her black hair fell casually on her shoulders. She was looking down at the two people on the ground with an indifferent expression.

Cheng Shuang said, "You broke into a private house. I beat you up today to teach you a lesson. If you continue to pester me, I don't mind beating you up again and again."

Bai Jinhu got up from the ground, his arm was burning with pain from being beaten, and he looked at Cheng Shuang with a fierce look.

Suddenly, he snatched the stick from the person next to him and knocked him over, then raised the stick and rushed towards Cheng Shuang.

With the determination to vent his anger even if he would be beaten even harder, Bai Jinhu raised the stick and smashed it down hard.

Cheng Shuang was startled and thought to herself that she was careless. She was too close and it was too late to dodge. She closed her eyes and raised her arms to block it above her head.

After a crisp sound, the expected pain did not come, but instead there seemed to be a sound of something breaking.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Bai Jinhu was also confused because he missed the target. The next second, he was kicked over by the Peng brothers and the stick in his hand was taken away.

Cheng Shuang patted her chest. It was a close call. She could feel the wind from the missed stick next to her ear. If it had hit her body, her little arm would not have been able to withstand it.

The sound just now was something breaking. Looking down, I saw several white fragments and a blue tassel scattered on the ground.

Jade pendant, did someone just throw a jade pendant to save her?

Cheng Shuang quickly looked up and around, and then found two people standing not far away on the left. The young man in front was handsome in gorgeous clothes and was smiling at her.

Is this jade pendant his?

Whose young man is this? Why is he coming to the village?

The white tiger had been pinned down. Cheng Shuang took a few steps towards the strange young man and bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Xie Shuyu stepped forward and returned the greeting with a bow. "Young lady, you're welcome. The sky is clear and the air is fresh today. I felt something guiding me as I was out for a walk. I encountered this opportunity to be a hero and save a beautiful woman. Isn't this our destiny?"

The corner of Cheng Shuang's mouth twitched. With that look in his eyes and that frivolous tone, was he really a good person?
