Chapter 114: The fighting power is simply bursting
Some people in the village also offered to go together, but Su Man refused.
Originally, she was thinking of taking the villagers with her, but now she thought that it was unnecessary at all. Fu Si and the others were extremely powerful, and with Wei Yan following them, nothing would go wrong.
Fortunately, her family already had two carriages, so they got on the carriages and headed for the next town.
On the way, Hua Niang kept crying and Lian Di kept comforting her.
Su Man looked down at the indenture contract, which usually contained one copy for each person.
Although selling one's body indenture is allowed in this era, the mothers don't know about it now because they were sold by their grandmothers, so they have the confidence to ask.
This indenture is also very simple. It just writes down the date, the price, and the agreement of both parties to the sale.
Su Man then looked at the silver again, and her eyes immediately turned cold.
Just now, because she was in a hurry to come out to find her child, she didn't count the silver carefully. Now she found that there was only twenty taels. Oh, well, she really underestimated the old lady. She was playing tricks on her.
Wei Yan noticed the silver Su Man was counting in her hand and asked immediately.
"Why? Not enough silver?"
Hua Niang and Lian Di both looked at Su Man, especially Hua Niang, whose expression changed slightly.
"Sister Su, is there not enough money? How can there not be enough money? What should I do? What should I do? No, I will go back and ask them for it now. I must make them give me all the money. I must save the child."
Her emotions, which had finally calmed down, immediately collapsed again. If there was not enough money, she would never be able to redeem the two children.
"It's okay. I have some money here. Use it to redeem the child first, and then we can settle the accounts with the Wang family." Su Man comforted Hua Niang.
Hua Niang was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she could only keep saying "okay, okay" and "thank you".
Having lost her child, she is almost on the verge of collapse and can hardly live anymore.
It takes an hour to get to the next town, which means more than two hours.
When they arrived in the town, Su Man got off the carriage and asked where Mr. He's house was.
Mr. He is the richest man in this town, and he has a stupid son, so one can find out the truth just by asking.
Su Man and the others arrived at the door of Mr. He's house. Hua Niang really wanted to rush in, but Su Man had told her many times before coming here, asking her not to be anxious or worried, otherwise it would only backfire.
So now she could only stay calm and wait for Su Man to help her solve the problem.
There are two servants guarding the door of Mr. He's house, from this we can see that Mr. He's family is indeed rich.
When the two gatekeepers saw two carriages parked in front of their house and so many people, they looked at each other in confusion, and then one of them stepped forward to ask.
This was also because they saw that Su Man and the others came here in a carriage. Those who could afford a carriage these days were not ordinary people. Especially the four people in black clothes, they looked like they were not easy to mess with, and they were a little scared.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
In fact, Su Man was standing side by side with Wei Yan, but they only saw Wei Yan and did not take Su Man, a woman, seriously.
Wei Yan has a noble temperament and is obviously a wealthy man. He is also the head of the family.
"Let's go find Mr. He." Wei Yan said in a calm voice.
"Looking for our master? May I ask who you are?"
"We are the family of the two children your master bought today. We are back to redeem them." Su Man said directly, "Hurry up and tell your master to return the children to us, otherwise we will break in."
When the two servants heard this, they looked at each other, with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
If it were ordinary people, they would just fight back, but these people looked like they were not easy to deal with.
So the two of them just thought about it for a moment, and someone immediately ran in to find Mr. He.
Hua Niang was trembling all over, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying all the way here.
"Don't worry, you'll be able to see the child soon." Lian Di comforted Hua Niang.
Su Man also patted Hua Niang's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I will definitely let you go back with the two children."
Hua Niang nodded vigorously. In her eyes, Su Man was the pillar of the family. If it weren't for Su Man, she would probably have to die now.
After waiting at the door for a while, they saw a middle-aged man with a big belly coming out with a few servants, and those servants were all tall and strong.
However, these people only seem to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and they have absolutely no chance of winning against Fu Si and his team.
These people came with great momentum and it looked like they wanted to fight.
Mr. He looked at Su Man and others at the door and snorted with disdain.
"Who do you think you are? I don't know you. Don't come to my house and make trouble! Get out of here!"
He looked at the few people with sidelong eyes while standing on the steps. He looked very superior and did not take Wei Yan and the others seriously at all.
Hua Niang, who had been controlling her emotions, rushed over when she saw Mr. He coming out.
"Where are my children! Where is my daughter! Where are my two daughters!" She cried heartbreakingly, still holding Mr. He's hand tightly.
Mr. He was caught off guard by her grabbing him, and he was so angry that he pushed her away.
"Where did you come from, you shameless bitch! You actually pulled and tugged in public! I'm not your man, what does your daughter have to do with me!"
Hua Niang's mentality had been tense all the time, and her body was already exhausted, so when He Yuanwai threw her like that, she fell to the ground.
"Hua Niang!" Lian Di immediately went over and helped the person up.
Su Man also stepped forward and looked at Mr. He coldly. Someone who bought someone else's child and had him abused by his own son was not a good person, so she didn't need to treat him so well.
"Mr. He, right? Let's be frank. The two girls you bought today are from our family. They were sold by those unscrupulous people in the family without their mother's knowledge. Now the mother is here to look for the children, and we want to redeem them!"
Su Man put the indenture contract directly in front of Mr. He and spoke loudly. There were people standing at the door and gossiping, so when they heard what Su Man said, they immediately started whispering.
When Mr. He heard these words, his face changed immediately and he started yelling.
"Where did you come from, you bitches? How dare you talk nonsense in front of my house! When did I buy your child? Someone, come here! This indenture is probably fake! Get them out now!"
The six burly men behind Mr. He and the two servants guarding the door immediately rushed up with sticks. It seemed that they did these things many times in their daily lives.
Su Man quickly pulled Hua Niang and Lian Di aside, and Fu Si and Fu Si went straight up and knocked the man down in no time. Fu Liu, Fu Qi and Wei Yan didn't get a chance to play.
People like this are not enough for Fu Si and his team to practice with.
The onlookers screamed in shock, some even laughed secretly.
They were all very clear about what Mr. He had done, but they were poor and had no way to fight back. Now that someone had finally come to take care of it, they were happy to see it.
Mr. He was also extremely shocked. He thought these people were just some eccentrics, but now two of them beat his carefully trained thugs to the ground.
Su Man curled the corners of her mouth, walked forward and stepped on the thug who was lying on the ground.
Fu Si and his men had dealt with them with heavy hands, so these people now had bruises on their faces and noses, and were wailing constantly.
"Mr. He, we don't want to do this, but we have to take the two children away. This is the child's mother. If you hand over the two children properly, we will leave immediately. If you don't hand over the two children, we will rush in directly. Don't blame us if there is any trouble."
Su Man spoke again, her voice cold.
If there weren't so many people here, she really wanted to beat up Mr. He.
Mr. He still gritted his teeth and refused to hand over the child.
"Impossible! We have already paid the money and received the goods! You also know that the indenture is right there! Why should I hand it over? Who asked them to sell it in the first place?"
Those two girls are pretty good looking. In a few years he will let his son consummate the marriage, and by then they will surely have a grandson!
"I told you that they sold the children without their mother's consent. Now the mother of the two children will return the money to you, and you hand over the two children."
"Impossible! Don't even think about it! The deal has been successful, there is absolutely no possibility of returning it! The worst that can happen is that we can go directly to the government office! This is a normal deal!" Mr. He refused to give in.
Hua Niang's body went limp and she almost fainted again, but fortunately Lian Di held her up.
Su Man's eyes turned completely cold.
"I ask again, will you hand over the child?"
Mr. He was actually frightened by Su Man's eyes, but he would never admit that he was frightened by a woman, so he still snorted coldly with his big belly.
"So what if I don't hand it over? You were the ones who came to my house and beat me up. You can't even explain this to the county government. This is your fault!"
"Really? Then you bought two daughters without the mother's consent. These are the daughters that she gave birth to with great effort. If anything happens to the two daughters, she will die immediately. Wouldn't you be a murderer then?
Also, what is the difference between your behavior and that of human traffickers? Since you are human traffickers, then when we go to court, it’s not certain who is right or wrong.”
Su Man made convincing arguments and directly confronted Mr. He, leaving him speechless.
Hua Niang also reacted quickly at this time and started crying immediately.
"I won't live anymore! If anything happens to my two daughters, I will hit my head and die at your doorstep! I will then become a ghost and haunt you day and night! You and your family will never have peace!"
It has to be said that Mr. He was still frightened by Hua Niang's words, and his face turned slightly pale.
Looking at the thugs he hired who were still lying on the ground and unable to get up, he could only glare at Su Man with gritted teeth.
This woman is really extraordinary! This is the first time he has seen such an extraordinary woman!
But it is absolutely impossible to ask him to hand over those two girls just like that!
"I don't care! This is a normal business! I can't just hand him over like that! You are so arrogant and unreasonable! You are making trouble for no reason! You even beat up my people, you must compensate me!"
"Compensation?" Su Man narrowed her eyes. "How much compensation do you want?"
She now just wanted to take the two children back as soon as possible. After all, the longer she delayed, the more dangerous the two children would be, especially the girls.
Mr. He looked at the group of people. Although Su Man was wearing ordinary clothes, the man next to her was obviously a rich man, and the material of the clothes was probably not enough for him to wear.
And those four thugs are not ordinary people either, so they must have a lot of money.
These people were too cruel. If he didn't hand over the two children, he would definitely suffer a bad end, especially this woman, whose eyes were so cold that it seemed like they could kill people.
"Okay, I don't want much either, just double the compensation. I paid thirty taels for them, so give me sixty taels of silver, and I'll return the two little ones to you."
When Hua Niang heard the amount of sixty taels, her head felt dizzy and she almost fainted.
Sixty taels? She had never heard of such a large sum. How could she possibly take out sixty taels?
Su Man originally thought that it would only cost a few more taels, but she didn't expect that this person would dare to ask for such a high price.
If she really agreed, then who knows whether Mr. He would find the same thing to do again in the future, and then he would earn twice as much money for no reason.
"Mr. He, I'm speaking to you with good intentions, but you're not going to accept my offer? Double the price?" Su Man sneered, "We haven't even sued him at the government office yet, and you dare to make such a shameless request? In that case, I think we have to go to the government office first.
Oh no, we don't need to go to the county magistrate at all, because this Lord Wei is the county magistrate. Lord Wei, I think you have heard everything clearly just now, right? In this case, how do you think we should solve it? "
Wei Yan stepped forward and took out the token belonging to the government office.
"Mr. He, right? I think you should explain to me what is going on."
Mr. He's face turned pale and he subconsciously walked over to look at Wei Yan.
As a wealthy man, he knew about this token. When he saw that it was real, his legs went weak.
"You...you guys..." He was so guilty that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"What? Don't you know him? Or should I take you back to see him? And then we can go to court together?" Su Man spoke directly.
"If you bring the two children out now and return the indenture, I will return the thirty taels of silver to you. Otherwise, when I go to the government office, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you, let alone the thirty taels of silver, right?"
