Chapter 31: The Big Worm

ng too. She didn't have breakfast or lunch, not because she wasn't hungry, but because she was thoroughly worn out.Even though An Xue Tang felt that her own physical fitness was strong enough, under M...An Xuetang had good hearing, even though she walked quite a distance, she could still hear Qin Junshen's shouts.

But she wasn't about to give him the time of day.

An Xuetang went straight to the city gate. She didn't want to walk back today, and she wasn't sure if she could catch up with the ox cart from the village.

Luckily, An Xuetang saw Tie Zhu, the villager who drove the ox cart, at the city gate when she arrived.

Several people were already on the oxcart when An Xuetang hurried over.

"Well, well, if it isn't Anjia Dayu!"

"Anya, you're rich again You bought so many things."

Liu Pozi's eyes were greedy as she looked at the buns An Xuetang was carrying. She sniffed, "Anjia Daya, are these still meat buns you bought"

A Xue Tang's lips twitched. Did this person have a dog's nose They could smell it out!

She just nodded slightly and quipped, "Auntie Liu's nose is really useful."

After that, she ignored Liu Pozi and turned to Tie Zhu who was driving the cart, "Uncle Tie Zhu, can I sit in the oxcart Is there still room"

"Yes, yes." Tie Zhu was an honest man. He pointed to an empty seat. "Da Ya, you sit there. Let's wait a little longer; the village head is going to pick up his Dong Ge'er."

An Xuetang nodded slightly, she knew this Dong'er, was the precious son of the village head.

He's a student. It's rumored he almost passed the scholar examination last year.

An Xuetang took out five copper coins and gave them to Tie Zhu, then jumped onto the ox cart and sat down.

Liu Pozi was sitting opposite An Xuetang. She saw that An Xuetang was still wearing new clothes.

The jealousy in her eyes was completely undisguised, she stared straight at An Xuetang, which left An Xuetang feeling speechless.

Liu Pozi thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Dayu, we're all from the same village. You must have some way to make money. Tell our fellow villagers, you know It's not good to keep your wealth secret."

At this time, someone also agreed with Liu's words, "That's right, Daya. Aunts have watched you grow up. If you have any good ways to make money, you must take care of your aunts."

"Big Sister Ya, I see you've been living quite comfortably these days. Ever since you got married, your face has started to plump up and you look even more beautiful. You can even wear new clothes now."

These old women, one after another, kept asking An Xue Tang for a way to make money.

An Xuetang curled her lips. "A few aunts are right, I've lived pretty well these past few days. I've been able to eat meat and have new clothes, but I can't hide anything from a few aunts. I really don't have any way to make money."

"How is that possible" Liu Pozi was the first to express disbelief. "If you don't have a way to make money, how could you possibly afford all these things Just look at what you have in your hands; it must have cost a lot of silver!"

An Xuetang smiled. "I don't have a way to make money, but I'm lucky."

Everyone looked at her with suspicion. "What do you mean"

"I've been lucky lately and have found money a lot! Look at these things I bought today, they were all purchased after I found some silver in an alleyway this morning when I went into town."

"………", the faces of several women flickered with uncertainty, it was unclear whether they believed or not.

"Picked up" Liu Pozi expressed suspicion again, "Where did you pick it up"

"Hutongs, there are so many hutongs in this city. Every time I come here, I just wander around randomly, and then I pick something up."

An Xuetang was being serious while rambling nonsense. She didn't know that her words caused the few women to go shopping in the city together for the next few days, hoping to find money.

At the moment, Liu Po still didn't quite believe it.

Before she could even protest, An Xuetang said, "Perhaps my recent good luck is really because the ancestors of the Yun family are looking out for me."

"!"

Several women looked at each other, mentioning the ancestors of the Yun family, they thought of An's old woman Wang and her granddaughter An Nuan Nuan from a few days ago.

The sight of their bloody and mangled forms still haunts us; just thinking about it sends shivers down our spines.

Now, Liu's wife and these women believed a little. Could it be that the ancestors of the Yun family had really come to life

Liu Pozi and the others wanted to ask more specifics, just then Li Zheng came back. He was accompanied by a young man of about sixteen, who looked quite scholarly.

"Li Zheng, Dong Ge'er, you guys are back, so we should get ready to head back to the village" Tie Zhu said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go." Li Zheng and Dong Ge'er got on the ox cart.

Tie Zhu didn't dawdle, and he drove his ox cart away.

Dong'er, seeing An Xuetang at this moment, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes. He looked at An Xuetang as if he had something to say but hesitated.

An Xuetang felt as though someone was watching her. She furrowed her brows and looked over, just to meet Dong'er's gaze.

“......”

What's with that pathetic look in his eyes

Yes, An Xuetang discovered that Dong Ge'er looked at her with pity. Was he pitying her

Li might have noticed Dong'er's gaze, he cleared his throat and said to Dong'er, "By the way, Dong'er, you probably don't know, An Jia's eldest daughter got married."

"What" Dong'er's eyes widened instantly, looking at An Xue Tang in disbelief. "Married Married to who"

Liu Pozi was always gossipy and talkative. She couldn't wait to speak up, "Married to the owner of that hut at the foot of the mountain."

"!"

Dong Ge'er frowned. If he remembered correctly, there were two men living in the wooden hut, and one of them was seriously ill.

He stared intently at An Xue Tang, "You... you married which one"

An Xuetang: "..."

She now had a feeling that Dong Ge was caring about her

Before An Xue Tang could answer, Liu Pozi eagerly chimed in, "Of course it's the one sitting in the wheelchair."

"!!" Dong'er pursed his lips, looking at An Xuetang with a complicated expression, as if he was speaking up for her.

An Xuetang was speechless. She stared at him for a moment before speaking, "My husband is very good to me, and I'm living very... comfortably."

"Really" Dong'er frowned. "You weren't forced into the marriage"

"Well... no matter how it started, I'm doing well now, that's true." So don't look at me with those pitiful eyes, kid.

Sister, the money in my pocket now adds up to more than your whole family!

"That...what about Yang Xingming You really let go"

""

As if on cue, Dong'er's question turned all eyes in the carriage towards An Xuetang.

Liu Pozi's face was full of gossip. Could there be something going on between An Xuetang and Ming Ge'er

Li quickly tugged at Dong'er's sleeve, "Daya is already married. What could possibly be between her and Ming'er"

Donghu momentarily didn't know whether he should be happy for her.

On the one hand, she was happy for her escape from Yang Xingming, that scumbag. On the other hand, she felt sorry for her marrying a disabled man.

Just as he was struggling with his thoughts, the ox cart suddenly went out of control and people on board started screaming.

Liu Pozi screamed, pointing at the monstrous figure in front of her. Her voice trembled as she cried out, "Worm... big worm!"

Ancient fierce beasts were tigers!

An Xuetang's face changed. There was indeed a tiger in front of the ox cart! first, she didn't know what was going on. Besides taking good care of her, she also tried talking to her.Even when she felt her pulse, gave her pills for a safe delivery, and fed her, she tried talki...
