It seemed that a lot of people had arrived outside the courtyard gate.
Interspersed among them were a few angry shouts from women.
It sounds really annoying.
Chu Qiuyu was still thinking about what excuse she could use to stay now that the rain had stopped.
The noise from outside kept me from finding peace.
The sound was getting closer and closer.
"You should go home now that the rain has stopped."
"elder sister……"
Su Qiao has not yet answered.
With a "bang".
The gate was kicked open.
The once sturdy courtyard gate suddenly became precarious and on the verge of collapse.
Only half of it was hanging there.
Chu Qiuyu's coquettish voice came to an abrupt halt.
For a moment, all sounds ceased.
The captain following behind exclaimed in surprise, realizing it was too late to stop them.
He immediately began to berate them.
"Why can't you speak properly? What's the matter with slamming down someone's door?"
Lu Fugui looked at the broken door latch with a regretful expression. It would take a lot of effort to fix it.
A haughty female voice said, "Since he dared to kidnap my daughter, it's just a door. Let him break it down! You're not going to protect the criminal, are you?"
Chu's mother hurried in from outside.
He looked around with disdain.
Su Qiao stared coldly at the damaged courtyard gate.
"I had no idea when I became a criminal?"
Chu's mother was somewhat surprised to see Su Qiao.
Didn't Cheng Xi say that his daughter was kidnapped by a villager from the countryside?
Why is it a woman?
Whether she is a man or a woman, anyone who dares to kidnap her daughter will have to pay the price.
"Grab her! Get my daughter out of here!"
The thugs behind her immediately stepped forward.
Lu Xiangze swung the carrying pole, leaving afterimages in the air.
The thug was caught off guard and hit squarely.
Lu Xiangze is quite strong.
Soon, several people were lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Chu's mother was furious.
"Captain Lu! Is this the friendly commune member you were talking about?"
Lu Fugui couldn't help but roll his eyes.
You're the kind of person who wants to demolish someone else's house without saying a word.
He also felt that his nephew hadn't been hit hard enough.
"It's all a misunderstanding."
Chu's mother, however, was convinced that it was an act of cover-up.
He didn't even glance at the few mud figures lying on the ground.
He turned and left, intending to go back and find a few more people.
This man looks formidable; an ordinary person couldn't beat him.
"mom!"
Chu Qiuyu shouted.
Chu's mother turned around and saw Chu Qiuyu.
Chu Qiuyu's face was full of anger, although she was used to it, her mother never cared about her.
Every time I see her, I feel like I've done something wrong.
A myriad of emotions welled up in my heart.
He finally said everything he had been holding back for so long.
"Do you even care about me? I just went to my savior's house to take shelter from the rain, and you're making such a scene?"
"Qiuyu...I..." Chu's mother choked up, her anger vanishing instantly.
But she really didn't see Chu Qiuyu just now.
"What are you making a fuss about here? It just rained, and Comrade Su gave me her own towel and even treated me to a meal. Instead of thanking her, you smashed her door?"
As Chu Qiuyu made her accusations, Chu's mother felt inexplicably choked up.
But she's a parent; how could she let her own child scold her like that?
With a stern face, she said, "If it weren't for Cheng Xi, who knows what might have happened to you today. This place is full of peasants; don't you know how precious you are? Why can't you learn from Cheng Xi and give me a break?"
Chu's mother's words made the faces of the onlookers who had come to watch the commotion turn sour.
Her words were like trampling everyone underfoot.
What's wrong with peasants?
Without them, what would she eat in the city?
If it weren't for the fact that the brigade leader was still there, everyone would have already gone up and started beating people.
Su Qiao felt that Chu's mother's tone was really bad, and she kept referring to other people.
Is Chu Qiuyu really her child?
"Excuse me, is this Cheng Xi your other daughter?"
"How can it not count? Cheng Xi is always right. She skips work every day and claims it's because she's working hard."
"Qiuyu, how could you say that to me?" Cheng Xi was afraid that Chu Qiuyu would reveal more things and that she would no longer be able to hide.
"You arrived quickly, didn't you?" Chu Qiuyu said with a sarcastic smile.
Cheng Xi looked at Chu's mother with a pitiful expression.
Chu's mother instinctively wanted to defend her daughter, but then she remembered what her daughter had just said.
It was unusual that he didn't respond immediately.
Cheng Xi clenched her fists to keep her expression from getting out of control.
She wanted to say something, but seeing her mother's expression, she immediately swallowed her words.
There's plenty of time ahead; today is a lucky day for Chu Qiuyu.
Cheng Xi hid behind Chu's mother, trying to minimize her presence.
The people on the ground were still writhing and twisting.
Su Qiao, however, noticed with her sharp eyes that they had been keeping an eye on Lu Xiangze's movements.
They seemed afraid he would make another move.
Chu's mother took a few deep breaths, looked at her stubborn daughter in front of her, and said nothing more.
There was no intention to apologize to Su Qiao.
"Come with me." The tone was cold and serious.
After saying that, Chu's mother wanted to leave.
Chu Qiuyu did not follow immediately.
Su Qiao didn't intend to let the person go so easily.
He ran to the courtyard gate in a few steps and raised his hand to stop Chu's mother.
“This lady,” Su Qiao called out deliberately.
Chu's mother frowned as she looked at Su Qiao.
Only then did he realize that Su Qiao was unbelievably beautiful, and he could only sigh, "It's a pity that this person's character doesn't match such a beautiful face."
"Get out of the way!"
"I'm just a country bumpkin, I have no manners, but you, a city person, should be very well-mannered."
"My character is naturally better than yours."
"If that's the case, how could someone as well-mannered as you smash up other people's homes, break my door, and just walk away like that? Why don't you even apologize?"
Su Qiao tried hard to recall the roguish characters in TV dramas.
Trying hard to put on a fierce expression.
Fortunately, it was a great success.
Chu's mother was frightened.
He quickly pulled out a wad of cash from his handbag.
He threw it to Su Qiao.
"Is this enough?"
Su Qiao did not move aside.
The meaning is clear: you can't leave without an apology.
Chu's mother said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
Su Qiao then opened the door.
Chu's mother glared at her before walking out.
Su Qiao didn't care; anyway, Chu's mother wouldn't be able to bear it if she went back.
Cheng Xi and his thugs quickly followed.
Only Chu Qiuyu stood at the door, looking into the distance with a complicated expression.
Chu's mother fled very quickly, as if something was chasing after her.
Su Qiao pulled out a few bills from the large set of bills.
He stuffed the rest into Chu Qiuyu's hands.
"If you want something, go for it. Mother and daughter don't hold grudges overnight. Some things, you won't get if you don't fight for them."
Su Qiao said softly.
"Take all of these back. I'll only take what I'm entitled to."
Chu Qiuyu took the money and gave Su Qiao a deep look.
He nodded and followed.
The brigade leader was still guarding the gate.
Lu Xiangze was already discussing with him who had the materials.
Fortunately, it was still early.
Lu Xiangze should be able to finish it if he works hard.
The crowd hadn't dispersed yet; everyone was still discussing.
"Who was that person just now? They even drove over."
"Teacher Su, do you know her?"
Su Qiao gave a brief explanation.
He only said that Chu Qiuyu had fallen and that he had taken her to the hospital.
"Why was that person's attitude so strange just now?"
"How can a mother and daughter have a good relationship if someone speaks ill of her to her mother?"
Everyone nodded knowingly.
Suddenly I realized that city people aren't so great after all; they can be easily fooled too.
It looks like it's going to rain again.
Everyone hurried home.
The huge courtyard was now empty except for Su Qiao and Lu Xiangze.
Lu Xiangze repaired the courtyard gate.
Su Qiao helped out from the side, handing over tools every now and then; it was a very harmonious scene.
We managed to fix the door before dark.
