Originally he thought that he could hand over the documents and the person at the same time, but Xu Yuxiu suddenly changed her mind. Xu Qinghai dared not say anything and could only listen obediently.

"This request is very simple. Uncle, just take this severance letter and read it aloud three times."

Yuxiu was not in a hurry anyway. Xu Wenlin, her subordinate, had a face that was about to turn purple, so she would not feel bad if it was delayed any further.

Yuxiu felt sorry for Xu Qinghai, so she did not dare to delay any longer. She took the letter of severance of engagement and read it loudly three times quickly in front of the villagers. Yuxiu also asked all the members of the Xu family to put their bloody fingerprints on it before letting Cui collect the things.

"Big girl..."

"Bah! Who do you think you are? How dare you whine in front of me? What are you still standing here for? Get away from me now, or I'll strangle you to death!"

Xu Qinghai wanted to speak more, but was interrupted by Yuxiu without any courtesy. She forced the Xu family and the onlookers to retreat far away. Then she took the unconscious Xu Wenlin and stepped back a few steps. She whispered to Cui, who was very nervous,

"Mom, don't be afraid, let's go up the mountain first."

Cui now listened to her daughter in everything, so she immediately agreed and followed Yuxiu. The two of them left Xu Wenlin, who was like a dead dog, and quickly went up the mountain with hoes in their hands.

Seeing this, the Xu family members did not dare to stop it. Xu Qinghai and Xu Wenyang quickly pounced on Xu Wenlin, pinching his Ren Zhong and slapping his cheeks.

Old Mrs. Qin ignored her two daughters' dissuasion and immediately sat down on the ground, crying and shouting.

Yuxiu and her mother had climbed halfway up the mountain, and they could still hear her shrill howls. Sometimes she cried about how miserable her life was, how she was insulted by a little girl at such an old age, and sometimes she cried about how Cui and Xu Qinghe were unfilial. She had worked so hard to raise them, but they left without being filial to her...

Yuxiu and Cui were walking so fast that they had no idea that the village chief Xu Qingrong was talking to Xu Linzhi behind them.

"I didn't expect that this girl's cowardice over the years was just pretending. Now that her father is gone, her true nature is exposed. If I really let them control her like this, who among the 200 or 300 people in Xujia Village will obey the discipline of me as the village chief in the future?"

Xu Qingrong had wanted to ask someone to go back and get more people, but he didn't believe it. If they could catch such a big wild boar on the mountain, how could this little girl turn the tables?

"Dad, don't make yourself angry."

Xu Linzhi had a smile on her lips. She looked at the two figures who were trying to climb up the mountain and laughed contemptuously.

"From my daughter's point of view, the two of them went up the mountain at this time just to seek death."

Before, those villagers went up the mountain together and brought back a lot of prey. Not only had the wild animals on the mountain been alarmed by now, but the smell of blood left by those people and the prey might also attract some powerful creatures.

If Xu Yuxiu and Cui Shi were to deliver themselves to the enemy now, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. There would be no way for them to survive.

Xu Qingrong was stunned for a moment before reacting. He immediately nodded to Xu Linzhi with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"My daughter can see the situation clearly. It's better to let them go up the mountain. This way, their whole family can die together."

The villagers only knew that Xu Qinghe accidentally rolled off the cliff while chasing prey, but Xu Qingrong, who was standing behind the crowd and giving orders, was different.

He saw clearly that the man was pushed down the mountain by his own brother. As for what happened in between, he did not ask and there was no need to ask.

It is normal for brothers to fight and kill each other. As long as it doesn't involve him, the head of the village, it is none of his business even if those people fight to the point of bleeding, and he doesn't need to get involved in this mess.

Xu Linzhi's smile seemed gentle on the surface, but she was actually cursing Yuxiu to death in her heart.

She has often had all kinds of dreams since she was a child. Strangely enough, the things she saw in her dreams, no matter how bizarre or ordinary, would always come true after a short while.

When she was a child, she dreamed that her mother went to the river to wash clothes and stepped on a snake. She was so scared that she immediately ran to tell her mother. Her mother didn't take it seriously at first, but two days later, when she went to wash clothes, she really stepped on a snake.

It was also because she was prepared in advance that her mother was able to react quickly. She kicked the snake far away, and it landed at the feet of another woman by the river. The woman was bitten by the snake and immediately fell into the water. When the villagers came and pulled her out, the woman's face was already blue and black and she had died.

The village chief and his family were all very surprised by this incident. Later, several things happened in succession, all of which suggested that Xu Linzhi did have those dreams about the future.

Even this drought, Xu Linzhi had dreamt about it a long time ago.

In the dream, the drought lasted for two years. Even though it rained a few times in between, it was of no use to the dry land. The people were living in misery.

Fortunately, the people in their village had good luck along the way. Every time they were almost at the end of their rope, they would always find some food to fill their stomachs. In this way, they stumbled out of Linzhou where they are now.

Although her dreams were always discontinuous and incomplete, and she had to guess a lot of things before she could connect them, she remembered clearly that Yuxiu was forced to have a secret marriage.

Because she had this dream a few days ago, there was absolutely no way she could remember it wrong.

But in her dreams, there were not so many troubles.

She dreamed that Xu Yuxiu was carried away in exchange for a bag of coarse grains, and she also dreamed that those people rolled down a cliff while hunting.

As for Cui, she had never dreamed of her, but the woman never appeared again on the road to escape famine.

This was the first time in all these years that Xu Linzhi encountered something different from her dreams, so she had wanted to persuade Xu Yuxiu to be sensible and listen to her elders, so that she could be sent to be married off like in her dreams.

But it's okay now. Although she can't figure out what went wrong, since the mother and daughter went up the mountain, they will never come back and will not hinder her in the future.

"Dad, let them go if they want. We can't linger here any longer. We have to go and see if they have dealt with the prey. Once they have, we should take them with us and set off."
