Although there is no clear legal provision prohibiting the wanton killing of dogs and cats, in the eyes of ordinary people, these are their emotional sustenance. They may not be treated well by their parents, but they will definitely not be killed.
But He Sheng just took advantage of this loophole, and I had no reason to add any more crimes to him, so I could only let him suffer some physical pain while in custody.
The county magistrate looked at the man in front of him. He had an honest face, but why did he look so sarcastic now?
"Take He Sheng down and give him ten strokes of the board, lock him up, and dismiss the court." The county magistrate waved his sleeves and left in anger.
The constable immediately took He Sheng away. Lin Shuang and his group also looked at He Sheng, and then looked at the children.
"Let's go back."
Lin Shuang raised her hands to prevent Xiao Jingyu from falling.
"Okay." Xiao Ce held the hands of his two sisters. Now he didn't care about the saying that boys and girls should sit separately after the age of seven. He only knew that he had to protect them.
Doctor Yun followed Lin Shuang and walked out of the yamen together.
Mei Lan and her servants were waiting at the gate.
When he saw Lin Shuang and his group coming out, he immediately walked over.
"Sister, he won't be able to get out for a while now. This scum deserves to be struck by God." Mei Lan said angrily, feeling really sorry for Xiao Jingyu and those innocent lives.
The handkerchief in her hand was torn into pieces by Mei Lan.
"Don't worry, God will take care of this kind of person." Lin Shuang said with a meaningful smile.
"Come on, come to my place. You must be tired of holding the child all the time. How about I hold the child for you?"
Mei Lan looked at Lin Shuang, who was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat running down the lines on his face. Mei Lan immediately stepped forward and wiped the sweat off Lin Shuang.
He was about to go forward and hug Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu immediately hugged Lin Shuang's neck and buried his head in Lin Shuang's arms.
This was a way of expressing refusal, causing Mei Lan to freeze in place, her hands still in the air. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately laughed, "So you're sticking to your sister, kids always like to stick to their mothers."
Xiao Jingyu's face turned red as he hid in Lin Shuang's arms, but he just didn't want to leave Lin Shuang's arms.
When I was beaten half to death by He Sheng, I thought I was going to die. I had not grown up yet, had not said goodbye to my family, and the accusation of being a thief had not been cleared yet. I regretted coming to the town at that time.
It was all my fault for having too much imagination. I thought the stepmother was deceiving them, but in fact she was trying to sell my eldest brother, second sister and youngest sister.
Unexpectedly, things were not what he thought. His stepmother was very good. When he felt he was about to collapse, his stepmother suddenly descended from the sky like a fairy from heaven and saved him.
I can't misunderstand my stepmother like this anymore. If she really wants to harm them, she can just watch me being slandered and beaten to death instead of saving me and clearing my name.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyu exerted even more force with his hands, fearing that he would not be able to catch his stepmother.
"Ahem, Jingyu, I know you're in a bad mood and scared, but you're really going to strangle me to death."
When Xiao Jingyu heard this, he quickly let go and said, "Stepmother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Xiao Jingyu lowered his head after saying this.
"It's okay, Mom knows you're scared, and it wasn't intentional." Lin Shuang felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched Xiao Jingyu, who had clearly changed. Even her tone was softened and gentle, something she hadn't noticed.
Xiao Jingyu suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, he slowly grinned, and gently put his arms around Lin Shuang's neck.
Xiao Ce, Xiao Wangshu, and Xiao Nanxin also laughed because Xiao Jingyu was in good condition.
Mei Lan laughed out loud, "You two have such a good relationship. My little brat has grown up and can't act like a spoiled child with me like this anymore."
Mei Lan lamented that time flies so fast. Her son has grown from a toddler to a well-mannered student with a scholarly air.
Such intimate times will never come back.
After hearing what Mei Lan said, the three siblings of the Xiao family looked up at Mei Lan in shock.
Is what you said true? They have a good relationship. How did you know that?
However, judging from the current scene, it does seem like the years are peaceful, leaving aside the past.
"Let's go, let's go back quickly. The food we cooked is probably cold. Let's go to Guangjin Building to eat."
Mei Lan couldn't hug Xiao Jingyu, so she had to get her own place back, so she just took Xiao Nanxin's hand and walked forward.
This child is soft, cute, and easy to deceive. His little hands feel so soft when he holds them.
Xiao Nanxin held Xiao Jingyu's hand with his other hand, and the three children and the adult walked in front.
Lin Shuang looked at him and smiled, then turned to Doctor Yun beside him and said, "Doctor Yun, please do me the honor of having dinner with me. Thank you for coming forward to testify."
Lin Shuang's face was solemn, and Doctor Yun also felt Lin Shuang's importance, so he did not refuse anymore, but followed Lin Shuang to Guangjin Building.
Lin Shuang secretly stuffed the healing pill into Xiao Jingyu's mouth.
"Be good, don't vomit, okay?"
"Yeah," Xiao Jingyu knew that his stepmother would not harm him. His eyes brightened a little and he swallowed the pill that Lin Shuang stuffed into his mouth.
It was very sweet and delicious, without any medicinal taste. Xiao Jingyu thought it was a candy given by his stepmother to cheer him up.
"Stepmother, is it a candy?" He whispered into Lin Shuang's ear, afraid that others would hear.
Because this was secretly given to me by my stepmother.
It is their little secret that cannot be known by others.
Lin Shuang looked at Xiao Jingyu, who looked around with a guilty look on his face, afraid that others would find out.
Doctor Yun was walking beside Lin Shuang. Seeing the interaction between mother and children, he quickened his pace. After a while, he caught up with Mei Lan in front and started talking to the children.
Lin Shuang felt the wind beside her, and in a blink of an eye she saw Doctor Yun walking in front of her. She smiled and said, "You, why are you acting so sneaky even when taking a pill?" She smiled and tapped Xiao Jingyu's forehead.
Xiao Jingyu's face flushed red, and he lowered his head in grievance, leaning on Lin Shuang's shoulder.
Lin Shuang said in Xiao Jingyu's ear, "It's a healing pill. It will be effective for your injury."
Xiao Jingyu didn't expect his stepmother to tell him this. He suddenly raised his head, looked at her blankly, and then smiled shyly.
Lin Shuang smiled, holding Xiao Jingyu and walked quickly behind Mei Lan.
After a while, the group arrived at Guangjin Building.
Lin Shuang looked at the plaque of Guangjin Building and smiled. What a nice name.
As a restaurant, the purpose is to have many customers and make a lot of money, which is exactly what its name means: a steady flow of money.
"Sir, are you all going together? Do you want to eat in the lobby or in a private room?" The waiter came over immediately.
"Let's go to the private room." Mei Lan replied immediately.
He turned to Lin Shuang and said, "Sister, the food here is pretty good, especially the roast duck. You'll know when you try it."
