Chapter 163 I'll Make You Pay with Your Life
What is that place?
Neither Jiang Shoutian nor Xu had ever been to the county, so neither of them knew what Chunfeng Tower was.
Qin Niangzi enthusiastically explained, "It's a place where men seek pleasure. Turn left when you go out, and keep walking straight. You'll arrive after passing through three alleys."
To be honest, Jiang Shuixian was just unlucky. If she had gone a little further ahead, she would have reached Yaoyue Tower. Things would have been better at Yaoyue Tower, but Li Mama at Chunfeng Tower was no good at all.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could Narcissus possibly be in a brothel!"
Madam Xu's face turned ugly. "Didn't she come looking for Jiang Changtian? Where is Jiang Changtian? Where is he?!"
"Did this ungrateful wretch sell out Narcissus?! Make him come out and talk!"
Jiang Shoutian was also incredulous, but he still pulled at Xu Shi, "Don't talk nonsense, this... how could this be?"
Qin Niangzi shrugged. "Believe it or not, why don't you go and find out? See if I'm just talking nonsense."
He then reminded Lin Shuyun, "Yunyun, be careful when you go out, and come home early for dinner."
Lin Shuyun nodded and went out.
Lin Dahai hurriedly said, "Yunniang, wherever you're looking for someone, we'll go with you to find them."
Old Xu grabbed Lin Dahai and said, "Brother, you should just stay at home. Your legs aren't very strong, and you can't run fast. Don't cause any trouble. Yun'er can go find her."
Knowing she couldn't help, Ms. Li simply didn't follow along.
Lin Hongwen stood there scratching his head in frustration.
Not long after Lin Shuyun left, Jiang Changtian arrived.
"Changtian, where's Shuixian? Is she at Chunfeng Tower?" Jiang Shoutian asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door.
Lin Hongwen was eager to tell his brother-in-law what had just happened, but Madam Li tugged at his sleeve.
Jiang Changtian nodded.
“How could a young woman like her go to a place like that? I’m going to find her and bring her back right now,” Jiang Shoutian said anxiously.
Jiang Changtian said expressionlessly, "Dad, don't bother. I've already looked for her, and she's not coming back with me."
"How could this be? Did you sell Narcissus? Are you taking revenge on me?" Madam Xu looked at Jiang Changtian with resentment.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like Jiang Changtian deliberately sold Narcissus to get revenge on her.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Shoutian scolded Xu Shi, then said with some guilt, "Changtian, could you please take us there? We need to get Shuixian out. If she goes into that kind of place, her life will be ruined."
Jiang Changtian greeted Madam Li and Lin Dahai, then led Jiang Shoutian out.
Xu Shi also had Jiang Laosan, who was like a transparent man, following behind.
Lin Hongwen turned to look at Madam Li, somewhat puzzled. "Mother, why did you stop me from telling my brother-in-law? My sister went out alone. What if she encounters danger?"
The older brother, who was so big, was taken away without a sound, and his sister was so thin and weak...
“You silly child, everyone cares about their own family. If your Uncle Xu and Aunt aren’t worried, your sister should be fine,” Madam Li said gently.
Qin Niangzi gave a thumbs up, "Sister, it's really rare that you're not crying this time."
Li felt a little embarrassed by what was said. She had been carrying a heavy burden on her mind these past few days, so she couldn't cry.
In order to make Jiang Shoutian give up, Jiang Changtian personally brought the two of them to Chunfeng Tower.
When I met Jiang Shuixian again, the people at Chunfenglou were still quite polite.
On the contrary, Jiang Shuixian had a rather bad temper, her face full of disdain, "I don't want to suffer with you. Don't come looking for me again. If you come looking for me again, Mother Li will have a problem with me. If you ruin my future, who will compensate me!"
After saying that, he threw Jiang Shoutian's bundle out as well.
"Narcissus, Narcissus, this is no good place. If you stay here, your life will be ruined. Don't believe what they say. Come home with your father!"
Jiang Shoutian tried to persuade them to go in, but the thugs at the door blocked their way.
They could only watch helplessly as Jiang Shuixian went back to the brothel.
Jiang Changtian bent down and picked up the bundle from the ground. "Dad, you saw it too. She came on her own and stayed voluntarily. No amount of persuasion from others could change her mind!"
Xu suddenly went berserk, slapping Jiang Changtian, "It's all your fault, you jinx! Otherwise, why would Shuixian, who was perfectly fine in the village, have run off to the county town to become a prostitute!"
A hint of ferocity flashed in Jiang Changtian's eyes. "If you dare to lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Startled, Madam Xu took a few steps back, stammering, "You...you..."
"Father, this is her own choice, she can't blame anyone else."
Jiang Changtian took out five taels of silver from his pocket. "This is what I earned writing articles for others. Father, take it. I'll hire a carriage for you to go back. Go back and find a wife for our third son so we can live a good life."
People who need eulogies ask Jiang Changtian to write them for them, and he occasionally does so.
"Only five taels? That's far too little..."
Before Xu could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face and stood there stunned.
"Brother, no, I'll take care of Dad in his old age."
Jiang Laosan shook his head and spoke his first words since arriving.
Jiang Changtian stuffed the silver into Jiang Shoutian's arms.
Jiang Shoutian suddenly hugged Jiang Changtian and burst into tears, "Boss, my heart is truly aching!"
Jiang Changtian did not speak.
After crying his fill, Jiang Shoutian stood up, his back hunched, and went to pull Xu Shi away.
Xu seemed stunned by the beating and followed Jiang Shoutian away.
Jiang Laosan mustered his courage and stood in front of Jiang Changtian, his face flushed. "Big brother, take care."
Jiang Changtian stood there, watching the three walk away.
"Tsk, this couple raised three children, and at least one of them is honest and didn't turn out badly."
"Godfather, what brings you here?" Jiang Changtian turned around and was somewhat surprised to see Old Man Xu.
"Can't I, an old man, come and watch the fun?"
"It's a pity I don't know where Yunyun went, otherwise I could have continued to watch the excitement."
Old Xu touched his chin regretfully.
Jiang Changtian originally intended to go find Lin Shuyun, but after a moment's hesitation, he headed home.
……
……
At this time, in a rather secluded little shabby guesthouse.
Young Master Wang was in a good mood as he sipped his tea and looked at the couple who were bound hand and foot.
"Do you still recognize me? Do you know why I've come?"
Both of them had their mouths gagged and couldn't speak. Lin Hongzhi's head was covered in blood, which had already dried, making him look rather horrifying.
At the young master's signal, the servant removed the gag from his mouth.
Lin Hongzhi said angrily, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what exactly do you want to do? Let us go right now, or we'll report you to the authorities."
Young Master Wang laughed; these country bumpkins were indeed speaking in a stupid way.
"Report to the authorities? How can you go out and report to the authorities now? It seems you don't understand the situation. Teach this kid some manners!"
The maid pulled a whip with barbs from her waist and lashed it at Lin Hongzhi.
A few lashes of the whip sent blood splattering everywhere.
