Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 376 Involvement
Lou Lizheng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. After all, the Lou family had been driven out of the village, and he didn't want to make things worse.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xiaoman turned a blind eye and did not take any action against that family.
Lou Lizheng had no choice but to take his men to scold the Lou family sternly and drive them away.
If he doesn't do anything, this family will be so shameless, and there's no telling how long they'll keep doing it. If Madam Xu knew about this, she would definitely be unhappy.
Mrs. Xu has a grudge against the villagers, which is not a good thing for their village.
Only then did Aunt Lou San, Lou Da and the others dare not insist on it anymore and left dejectedly.
Who in the surrounding area didn't know about the good deeds their son had done? Besides, they weren't any good either. Now that they were in this county, they couldn't stay any longer and had to leave.
After they left, they never came back, and no one mentioned them again.
What no one expected was that Qiao'er's kidnapping by Lou Er was actually related to Bai Shuilian.
Qiao'er is very resistant to Lou Er, her biological father, and will not approach him at all. Lou Er wants to coax Qiao'er away, but this is simply impossible.
To Qiao'er, this biological father was a nightmare-like devil. Lou Er couldn't coax her away by simply putting on a smile, giving her a piece of peanut sesame candy, or saying a few fancy words.
Lou Er couldn't do it, so Bai Shuilian came in handy.
These two people also met by chance, but when they talked about it, they found that they had the same suffering and the same hatred for the enemy.
A common enemy can unite people better than a common friend, and this is the case with Lou Er and Bai Shuilian.
Lou Er had no feelings for Qiao'er in the first place. After Zeng Xiaojuan remarried and took Qiao'er with her, their lives became prosperous. Lou Er was extremely jealous and resentful.
It's not that he didn't secretly want to get close to Qiao'er and coax her to listen to him, but Qiao'er was young and the bad memory was too deep, so she ignored him.
Lou Er cursed Qiao'er for being ungrateful and heartless. After getting to know the human traffickers, he decided to sell Qiao'er without any hesitation.
This is to take revenge on Qiao'er and Zeng Xiaojuan.
Bai Shuilian also had her own little plan. Once Qiao'er disappeared, it would definitely be a fatal blow to Zeng Xiaojuan, and she would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Since Lou Er couldn't get close to Qiao'er, Bai Shuilian volunteered.
Qiao'er also doesn't like Bai Shuilian, and Bai Shuilian knows it, so instead of trying to please or coax her, she tries to coax her viciously.
She coaxed Qiao'er Zeng Xiaojuan into planting vegetables in the vegetable garden at the entrance of the village. She wanted to beat Zeng Xiaojuan and teach her a lesson. Qiao'er was still young after all. Seeing her going towards her own vegetable garden at the entrance of the village, she thought what she said was true and ran away from the shortcut in fear. She wanted to run over and tell her mother in advance, but she didn't expect to be fooled by Bai Shuilian.
If he had not seen Xu Zhichun and hidden himself out of guilt, revealing the clues, and if Liang Minglang had not jumped into that remote courtyard and discovered the clues, no one would have guessed the conspiracy of Lou Er and Bai Shuilian.
As Lou Er was arrested and Qiao'er was rescued, Qiao'er cried and told the story in detail about how she was coaxed and captured.
Although she is only four years old, she speaks clearly and has clear thoughts. Although the words she chooses are not very accurate, everyone can understand what she means.
Master Shao comforted her and after a careful questioning, he immediately ordered Captain Yu to investigate the woman whom Qiao'er had mentioned as "Brother Xiaoan's biological mother" and "whom everyone calls Shuilian, and who is from Baijia Village."
It was easy to find out the relationship between Bai Shuilian and Yang Ming, and that Bai Shuilian had gone to Liangjia Village to make trouble and tried to return to Yang Ming's home.
County Magistrate Lu ordered Captain Yu to arrest Bai Shuilian.
Bai Shuilian had been secretly following this matter, dreaming of taking advantage of the situation by going to Liangjia Village. However, she didn't expect that Lou Er would be arrested and Qiao Er would go home. She was terrified at the time.
However, she was frightened mainly because of her guilty conscience rather than fear of being implicated.
How old is Qiao'er? What does she know?
She must have been so frightened after what happened that she couldn't possibly tell anyone about herself.
Even if she wanted to speak, she couldn't explain it clearly at her age, and no adult would listen to her.
But Qiao'er happened to be precocious, she knew everything and could explain it clearly.
Unfortunately, she met the very responsible Captain Yu, Magistrate Lu and others.
So Bai Shuilian deserves to be unlucky.
Bai Shuilian panicked immediately after being captured.
No matter how much she can act like a spoiled brat, that's only in the village, or at most on the streets. How could she have the courage to act in court?
What's more, Lou Er fell into the hands of the government again, and she didn't dare to be sure whether it was Lou Er who made the move.
Lord Lu slammed the gavel and asked sternly, and Bai Shuilian trembled and told everything.
She was considered an accomplice, and although her case was less serious than others, she was still escorted to the provincial capital for a unified sentencing.
In the end, Bai Shuilian was sentenced to five years in prison, but she couldn't make it and died of illness in prison in the third year.
Her brother and sister-in-law refused to collect her body, so Yang Xiaoan hired someone to collect and bury her.
Now, after Bai Shuilian was escorted to the provincial capital, Lord Lu sent someone to Liangjia Village to tell Yang Ming and Zeng Xiaojuan.
It was only at this time that everyone realized that there was something about Bai Shuilian, and the village was in an uproar again.
Well, all kinds of melons come one after another, it’s hard to keep up, life is not monotonous at all!
"Tsk tsk, I thought Bai Shui Lian Guang would cry, but I didn't expect that, tsk tsk!"
"That's what they call a barking dog that bites."
"This person is really rotten to the core. I used to feel a little sorry for her, ugh!"
"That was a close call. It was really close."
"That's right. Fortunately, Qiao'er is smart."
"Yes, Qiao'er is a really smart kid."
Yang Ming realized what had happened and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he hadn't left this person behind. Even Liang Lizheng was shocked. It was a good thing this person hadn't stayed in the village, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
Even if there were conflicts between the other two families, they would just have a quarrel, and at most they would start fighting with fists, but basically they would be pulled apart by the villagers as soon as they started fighting, so nothing serious would happen.
People like Bai Shuilian and Lou Er are really bad people. They often kidnap other people's children and sell them.
Is this still a human being?
If there is such a person in the village, it would be really unlucky!
While everyone was cursing and complaining angrily, Liang Lizheng became more and more uneasy. Finally, he started banging the gong and gathered the whole village to warn them.
If anyone in any family dares to do such a heartless thing in the future, then his entire family will not be able to stay in the village. They will be expelled from the clan and driven away.
The villagers had no objections and applauded, saying that this was perfect and the rule was well established.
Only then did Liang Lizheng feel a little more at ease.
Xu Zhichun became nervous due to the atmosphere and said to Liang Minglang, "Your kung fu should be pretty good, right? When Mingxuan comes back, why don't you teach him too? If nothing else, he'll be able to save himself if anything happens in the future."
