Chapter 208: Keep Them Hanging?
“But Aunt Jiuyue also has children to raise,” she said.
Our family’s situation is better—we have a father. But Aunt Jiuyue doesn’t have a man in her household. Aren’t things harder for her?
Besides, even if she has a lot of food. Why must she give them to us?
“Shut up!”
The woman was discontented. She felt her daughter was talking too much.
She knew An Jiuyue had many children to raise. However, she was starving and did not care about her children. The most important thing was to eat and drink their fill, right?
“If you say that again, your father might hear it. If he really sells you, you won’t be able to find your way home!” she threatened.
The little girl fell silent immediately.
After a while, the woman could not wait any longer.
“No, I have to take a look.”
She put on her shoes, ready to go out to take a look. She turned around worriedly and reminded her daughter, “Da Ya, look after your sister. I’ll go out and see if your father is back.”
“Okay.”
The little girl could not rebel against her parents and only nodded.
The woman came out to the courtyard. She waited and waited, but her husband did not return. She knew something was wrong.
An Jiuyue must have discovered them stealing her food and captured them!
There was no need to ask her how she knew. Since An Jiuyue could kill a big wild boar and drag it back, she knew she would be capable of that.
She became anxious immediately. After some thought, she decided she had to find the Chief and the Junior Officer to save her husband.
…
On the mountain…
The people hanging from the tree had been wailing, but they dared not make a sound after Qian Yiyun threatened them.
However, it was really uncomfortable to be hung like this. They were dizzy and could only beg An Jiuyue for mercy. They begged her to let them off, promising they would never do this again.
An Jiuyue chuckled.
Let them go so they can target me again?
She refused to do such a thankless task again. Whoever wanted to do it could do it. Rescuing people in the future would depend on her mood and whether the other party looked pleasing to her eyes.
She would never save ingrates like all these men before her ever again.
I’ll be hopeless if I don’t learn from my mistakes!
Qian Yiyun could not fall asleep anymore, so she sat with An Jiuyue and asked, “Sister-in-law, what are you going to do with them? Are you going to keep them hanging?”
An Jiuyue narrowed her eyes. She had to think about it carefully.
What am I going to do with them? Should I kill them like how I killed Wang Xing’er? They are not evil enough to be killed, but I won’t let them off so easily.
She glanced at Qian Yiyun and asked, “What do you think?”
“I think—”
Qian Yiyun was ready to voice her opinion immediately.
However, before she could say anything, she noticed her brother’s stern gaze sweep across her.
She swallowed her words and dared not say them anymore.
