"I knew the Zhou family wasn't good. They only cared about Zhou Mianmian going to the capital to enjoy herself."

“That’s right, he helped Shen Lin hurt us before.”

"If it weren't for Jiaojiao along the way, we wouldn't be so safe. But the Zhou family didn't care about their own daughter and sister at all, and they even helped Chen Lin."

"She didn't want to help Chen Lin at all. She clearly wanted to follow Zhou Mianmian to the capital to live a good life. It's a pity that she didn't even say she would bring them back with her."

Mrs. Wang said this on purpose. Mother Zhou felt embarrassed and said nothing in a muffled voice, but her attitude was very clear.

Brother Zhou was being pushed out, his face looking very ugly. Upon hearing this, he said, "What good is Zhou Jiaojiao? Now that we've been captured by the soldiers, why doesn't she come to save us?"

"You are such a heartless person, and you still have the nerve to criticize us."

Seeing that he showed no remorse, the village chief angrily scolded him, "You have done the wrong thing, and Jiaojiao didn't give you any trouble along the way. In the end, how did you repay her? You are not even as good as the Chu family to her."

"Village chief, please speak up for Jiaojiao and save us. After all, we are her relatives." Seeing that the yamen runners did not release her for the sake of Zhou Jiaojiao, Zhou's mother became panicked and started to make demands.

"She doesn't want to have a bad reputation in the future, right?"

Father Zhou's eyes darkened: "She is a rebellious daughter. Such unfilial behavior will sooner or later bring retribution!"

As he spoke, he actually cursed under his breath.

Chu San had just returned from the blacksmith's house. When he walked to the door, he saw this scene and heard these words. His face immediately turned unhappy. He snorted angrily, walked forward, greeted the yamen runner, and raised his hand to punch Brother Zhou.

“Ah…” Brother Zhou curled up in pain, pointing a trembling finger at him: “Chu San, are you crazy?”

"Uncle, aunt, if I remember correctly, when you married Jiaojiao to me, you took fifteen taels of silver from my family and wrote a letter of severance, saying that from now on Jiaojiao would belong to my Chu family and would have nothing to do with your Zhou family."

"Now, you are scolding Jiaojiao for being unfilial again." Chu San crossed his arms and sneered, "You have said all these things. Do you think you are silver? No matter how shameless you are, there will be people who like you."

"You..." Father Zhou's face turned ashen with anger.

It was obvious that Chu San was taking the opportunity to teach Brother Zhou a lesson and said this on purpose for him to hear.

"My Chu family does not need you outsiders to interfere in what they do, unless you want to try my fist?" Chu San threatened.

The Zhou family members subconsciously took a step back when they thought of his ruthlessness in killing a wolf with one punch.

Chu San was too lazy to say anything to them.

"Since you still choose Zhou Mianmian as your child, don't bother my wife."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Brothers, we are in trouble. Please take these people away. We don't know what they have done. Even if we are from the same village, we can't control them. We are sorry to trouble you to deal with this trouble."

"No trouble." Several yamen runners knew Chu San and treated him well.

When it was the Zhou family's turn, they simply changed their faces and pulled them away casually.

The village chief then stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Third brother, what will happen to the Zhou family in the future?"

"I don't know. The government probably arrested people to prevent them from contacting those people in the capital, so they won't kill anyone." Chu San was very straightforward and expressed his attitude.

The village chief heard the hidden meaning in his words, sighed, shook his head and said, "Hey, there are always some people in this village who can't think straight. It's hard enough to survive nowadays, why think so much?"

"But why are you back, Third Brother? Aren't you busy? It seems that the epidemic in the capital city is about to be cured." The village chief took the opportunity to pull Chu San and asked.

Chu San came back originally to look for Zhou Jiaojiao.

He didn't expect the Zhou family to be taken away. He was anxious to find someone and simply asked, "Village Chief, what do you want from me?"

"I just want to ask, what is our next plan? Should we stay here or continue to Youzhou? That place is very far north. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now." The village chief asked, biting his pipe.

"What do you think, village chief?" Chu San said, "Village chief, if you are willing to stay in Yuzhou, my wife and I can help talk to Lord Mo and help you register your household registration and find a village to settle down."

The village chief understood what he meant and was a little surprised: "You still want to go north? Do you have to go to Youzhou?"

"Well, I've recovered now. Going back to Youzhou is like returning to my old military camp and having a career." Chu Sangeng was more inclined to let his wife go to Youzhou. He was more familiar with the place and could help with the arrangements, which he felt was more convenient.

After listening to this, the village chief said that he would go down and think about it and ask the villagers for their opinions.

Chu San responded and turned around to find Zhou Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiaojiao just came out of Wang's house.

She has been treating these wealthy families recently and earning money from selling medicinal materials.

When he walked out and saw Chu San, his first reaction was to see Baoer in his arms. Sure enough, Baoer was sleeping soundly in his arms. The three or four-month-old baby was already much bigger than when he was just born. Even on the way to escape, he didn't suffer much.

"Madam, the Zhou family is in jail. Was it you who did it?" Chu San looked at her and asked.

Zhou Jiaojiao carried Baoer over.

He nodded and said, "Well, I asked Lord Mo to help solve it. The Zhou family has been contacting Zhou Mianmian privately. I don't want to bring them with me. It's better to leave them in the Yuzhou County Government Office. It will depend on their own luck when the time comes."

"Do you think I'm too cruel?" Zhou Jiaojiao looked up at him.

Chu San didn't hesitate at all. He reached out and put a pacifier in Baoer's arms, and then fed Zhou Jiaojiao a small piece of candy.

"I'm not cruel. I just wish all your attention was on me." Chu San fell silent after saying this, his ears red as if bleeding.

Zhou Jiaojiao deliberately teased him from the side: "Oh, I really can't believe that my husband is so strong and overbearing."

"Shouldn't my husband be like a young man at heart?"

"Mature?"

Chu San raised his eyes when he heard this, "Madam, don't you like me to become mature?"

There was uneasiness and worry in his eyes when he asked this question.

Zhou Jiaojiao reached out and pinched his cheek. It was no wonder Chu San was much stronger and his face was even more perfect now that he didn't have to go hungry. She smiled and said, "How could that be? I like my husband no matter what he is like."

"Then you have a deal. You can't lie to me."

Zhou Jiaojiao moved closer to him and took a closer look. "Could it be that my husband is slowly regaining his memory?"

"...Yeah." Chu San smiled brightly at her. He seemed honest and simple, but there was a gleam in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not an honest man at all, he just didn't like to talk.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw it all but didn't expose him.

"Lord Mo told me to arrange for a special person to join our team and send us to Youzhou."
