Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 539, 540. Fantasy
Sitting on the oxcart, Huang Qinlao asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you try to hold on a little longer? Were we just going to get to the next village like this?"

Lu Cuihua looked at her son driving the carriage ahead before whispering to her husband, "You saw what happened just now. Master Gu and his wife are no pushovers. These nobles have plenty of ways to deal with us ordinary people."

I underestimated how important those two girls were to Madam Gu. I should have fawned over them.

"It's all your stupid son's fault! He kept saying he was highly valued by the master, but why didn't he mention that it was all because of his wife's connections?"

As Lü Cuihua spoke, her tone was tinged with disdain. It was true that all the men in the Huang family shared the same bad habit of caring too much about their reputation.

She initially thought Huang Pingguo was different from the Huang family, but it turned out he was just bragging.

I should have treated Chunxiang better. Out of consideration for our family ties, I couldn't possibly kick them out.

We've only had a few good days, and now we have to start all over again.

The atmosphere among the Huang family members surrounding them was exceptionally somber; they all knew that this trip to the neighboring village would determine their future.

"Mom, are we really going to move?" As the most favored son, Huang Ping'an was reluctant. His second brother's house was nice and tidy, and he didn't have to do any work. He didn't want to leave.

“If we don’t move, what else can we do? Can’t you see that your second brother and the others don’t welcome us?” Lu Cuihua’s words were full of bitterness, and she deliberately raised her voice. But Huang Pingguo didn’t even turn his head and just kept driving the cart with his head down.

"We had neither houses nor land in the past. Did we really have to reclaim wasteland?"

Huang Ping'an pouted, "Since Second Brother doesn't welcome us, then be generous and build us a house. Don't buy wasteland; buy a few acres of fertile land instead, so that we can live a good life sooner."

"Why don't he and my second sister-in-law just live a good life? Wouldn't that be enough to make him feel guilty?"

Huang Pingguo swung the whip in the air once, then slammed it heavily on the ground, making the ox run even faster. Only then did he turn to look at him. "I gave my family several dozen taels of silver before, and now I only have a little bit left. You can buy some fertile land if you want, but in smaller quantities."

As for whether you can support yourselves? That depends on yourselves.

I have no spare money right now; all my savings from years of being a servant have been given to you. From now on, take care of yourselves.

"Second brother, we're family after all..."

"When you were bullying my wife at home every day, why didn't you say you were family?" Huang Pingguo said coldly. "Your second sister-in-law was heavily pregnant and busy serving you every day, and you even had designs on her dowry. If this got out, do you think you could still get married?"

Once she calmed down, Huang Pingguo realized she had a good head on her shoulders and immediately found their Achilles' heel.

Huang Ping'an, who had always had objections, dared not speak again at this moment.

As for the grandparents and uncles' families, they dared not say a word. After all, they were also there to take advantage of the situation. If things really got out of hand, Lü Cuihua might kick them out, and then things would only get harder for them.

So ever since they sold the house and land, Huang Qinlao and his family have been in charge of the household.

They are now crammed onto this oxcart, their hearts filled with confusion; they don't know where they are headed or what to do next.

When they arrive in a new village, can they really make a living without Huang Pingguo's help?

They're all starting to regret it now; why didn't they hold back a little more the other day?
"Apple, why don't you bring your wife back? I'll treat her like royalty from now on. Otherwise, who will help you take care of the baby after it's born?" Lu Cuihua tried one last time to persuade him. Huang Apple didn't even turn his head. "No need. Since I've made a decision, I won't change it."

Anyway, you find everything about my wife unsatisfactory, so I'd better not get in your way.

As for taking care of the children, I'm sure the older women in the village will be very welcoming.

“No outsider is as considerate as I am as their grandmother. Why don’t we wait a few more days before moving? Let’s wait until the baby is born. I’m still looking forward to seeing my grandson.”

"It could be your eldest granddaughter, Mother. Have you forgotten? Your eldest brother has already given you your eldest grandson, and you've already had him. You should worry more about your younger brother's marriage."

I suggest that, before the news of your previous incident gets out, you quickly finalize the wedding arrangements in the next few days.

Huang Ping'an shifted his position slightly. "Second Brother, actually I also won one."

Huang Pingguo: "Which one in the village have you taken a fancy to? Let me tell you, if you hadn't caused all that trouble before, this would be fine, but now, I advise you to give up on that idea."

Now, no good family's daughter would marry into their family; no one else has Chunxiang's confidence.

"Second brother, we're blood brothers, you have to help your little brother. I think that girl who serves Madam is quite pretty, and she and Second Sister-in-law both served Madam, so it'll be easier for them to get along as sisters-in-law..."

Startled, Huang Pingguo quickly pulled on the cow's rope. Once the cow stopped, she turned to look at him and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

I remember that Zisu was with Madam today. Uncle Wu and his family all work for Madam. I heard that Uncle Wu is now helping Madam manage the estate. And Zisu is their only daughter. How could she possibly be interested in her good-for-nothing brother?

"I'm not kidding, I like that girl."

Lu Cuihua's eyes lit up. Although she didn't remember what the girl looked like and hadn't paid special attention to her, anyone who could serve by the master's side must be quite good.

Dongmei and Chunxiang used to serve that lady, and as soon as they got married, they were given a house, fertile land, and a huge dowry.

If my youngest son could marry a wife like that, his future would be bright.

"Second brother, I think you should help your brother. Your younger brother is also a handsome man, more than good enough for that girl."

We don't mind that she came from a slave background. As long as she marries into our family, she can help us expand our family line...

Lu Cuihua was already thinking about how many children that girl would have in the future and how to get the dowry from her when she heard Huang Pingguo say sarcastically, "I advise you, you toad, not to dream of eating swan meat. That's not something you should be thinking about."

The Wu family are servants of the Bai family; the whole family works in the household. We are far too unworthy to be associated with them.

“How is that unworthy of her? They are slaves. Your brother should be grateful that she doesn’t look down on her.”

Huang Pingguo didn't want to talk to them, so she turned around and started herding the cattle. "Then you can still complain. I can't bring myself to say anything, and I don't want to make a fool of myself."

“Mother, look at my second brother.” Huang Ping’an turned around and complained, “He’s just afraid that I’ll have a better life than him, so he won’t even help with this little thing.”

"Don't worry, even if your second brother doesn't say anything, I'll go and ask the matchmaker myself..."
