Chapter 772: I want to kill you
Ning Yu felt like a thunderclap had fallen right upon his head when he heard the words of the alcohol seller, he wanted to chase after the woman, it did not matter if he had to grovel or lick her shoes, he was willing to do anything to save his kids but before he could chase after the woman, she flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave, she did not even look at the two mers since she was worried that she will be soft-hearted upon seeing their faces.
Since their wife wanted to find trouble for them there was nothing that she could do, she was the one who was being kind-hearted here and making a loss of five taels and yet that woman talked nonsense in front of her? How can any woman with pride withstand something like that?
With a flick of her sleeves, the woman went inside the shop leaving Ning Yu to chase after her, but he was blocked by the guards who shook their heads and refused Ning Yu from entering the pub. They all were here to earn money, it was already the madam's kindness that she had not kidnapped Mother Shen and broken her limbs for not being able to repay her debt but instead of receiving gratitude, she actually received contempt there was no way that the madam will change her mind now!
Ning Yu also knew that there was nothing that he could do, he helplessly stared at the vanishing back of the woman and wished he could run behind and kill his wife his own hands, one after another just how many kids will they have to sell for that drunkard's debt?
Shi Xi who was standing next to Mother Shen was even more stimulated than Ning Yu, he had two daughters and a son. The madam of this shop said that she will come and choose the sturdy ones among their kids, surely she was going to pick his daughters who were young and a bit stronger than his son.
When Shi Xi thought about how he was going to lose his daughters as well, he was so furious that he wished that he could kill his wife and then kill himself as well. His breathing turned ragged as he turned to look at Mother Shen who was still muttering how rich she was and how her daughter in law will treat her with the finest delicacies and clothes, the hatred in his heart reached its peak and he could not stop himself.
Before he knew it, he rushed to his wife and started scratching and hitting her. " Why did you have to ruin everything? Why did you open your nasty mouth, now because of you, I will have to lose my kids, and I won't let you sell them as well! I will fight to the death with you! Because of you, I have already lost five of my kids, how many more do I have to lose before you stop?"
The Shi family had no money and no land but they had a lot of children, because of the fact that they could not even eat their fill they were willing to sell their kids at the price of pumpkins. Shi Xi was sold to become Mother Shen's concubine as well, when he was married to Mother Shen, he was young like a fresh peach blossom, but after getting married to Mother Shen, he had to give birth to children one after another and now he was ugly and withered.
But for the sake of his kids, he continued to suffer in silence, who would have thought that his children would not even turn fifteen when they were sold off, what was he? A hen or a pig who was living in the Shen house only to give birth and then watch his child getting sold!
" You son of a bastard!" Mother Shen was drunk but she was not drunk to the point where she will not be able to realise that her husband was hitting her, at first she was shocked but when she snapped out of her daze, she realised what was happening and started to beat Shi Xi up, who decisively continued to fight his wife as well.
For a while, the street was in chaos and it was only when Ning Yu begged the guards that were they able to save Shi Xi from getting beaten to death.
" You…how dare you hit me?" Mother Shen asked while stumbling causing the guards to help her up.
" I will even kill you," at this moment Shi Xi was really angry, he did not care that he was being called names, all he knew was that he wanted to hurt his wife, he wanted her to feel the same pain as he did when the strangers whom his wife owed debts to came to snatch his children and those poor kids had no idea what wrong they have done.
Oh how they cried begging him to help them but he was just as useless as their mother, he could not even save them when they were being taken away.
" Calm down," Ning Yu pulled Shi Xi back, he knew what the latter was going through at the moment but the thing was that even if the people on this street sympathised with them, they will not help the two of them. If they pushed their wife too much they will really get beaten to death. " Think about your daughters."
Only then did Shi Xi calm down, he knew that if he was to push his wife harder, she will take it out on her daughters, thus he could only purse his lips and cry in anger. What sin had he committed to suffer like this just what did he do?
Mother Shen still wanted to beat Shi Xi for embarrassing her but Ning Yu walked forward and simply stretched his leg causing Mother Shen to stumble and fall on the street before falling unconscious because of the impact when she rushed towards Shi Xi, seeing that his wife was unconscious, Ning Yu pulled Shi Xi away.
At this moment he did not even wish to see the latter's face!
