Lord Zhu must have suffered a loss, otherwise he wouldn't be so furious.
"Get lost! We'll only talk again once we've confirmed the news."
Lord Zhou waved his hand impatiently, and two constables dragged Lu Xiaonan out.
...
"You bitch, you tricked me on purpose, didn't you!"
Lu Xiaonan slumped onto the oxcart on the way back; the bumpy ride made him feel like he was going to vomit. The uneven road and the swaying of the cart made his buttocks ache even more.
When he returned to the Lu family home, Han Jinghua was startled by his appearance: "Xiao Nan, what happened? Who hit you?"
"Hurry up and help me back!"
Han Jinghua didn't dare to delay and hurriedly helped Lu Xiaonan back into the house. Lu Xiaonan dared not move his buttocks, so most of his weight was on Han Jinghua's body the whole way. By the time they got into the house, Han Jinghua was covered in sweat despite the cold weather.
But as soon as she entered the house, a large, fan-like hand slapped her, making Han Jing see stars. She looked at the angry man in confusion: "Xiao Nan, what did I do?"
"You told me Han Luoxue would be back before the New Year, but what happened?"
This made Han Jinghua even more confused. Even if the news was false, it couldn't be determined in a short time, so she shouldn't be beaten up.
"After I finished speaking with Lord Zhu, he beat me with a board and only then told me that Han Luoxue had returned."
This… Han Jinghua was completely baffled. It shouldn't be like this; if Han Luoxue really had returned, wouldn't Yunniang know? Or was everything she said today a lie, and she deliberately tried to provoke her?
Damn it, there's no good person in Han Mingyuan's family!
"I... she really didn't say that Han Luoxue was coming back today."
"Does it matter whether I tell or not? I've already been beaten, hurry up and apply the medicine for me."
At this moment, Lu Xiaonan was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home, feeling a burning pain in his buttocks, which was really uncomfortable.
Han Jinghua thought about it and realized it made sense. She rushed forward, but when she saw the bloody mess, she took a few steps back in fright: "Xiao Nan, how could it be so powerful?"
"Twenty strokes of the cane, or do you want me to give you a taste?"
Han Jinghua shook her head in fright; she didn't want to be beaten.
"You bitch, hurry up and put some medicine on me, it hurts so much!"
Lu Xiaonan still wanted to hit someone, but his butt hurt too much, so he decided to deal with it first.
Han Jinghua tried to help him take off his pants, but blood was seeping out and his skin was stuck to his clothes, making it impossible to remove them.
Han Jinghua moved slightly, and Lu Xiaonan started cursing again in pain.
"Han Jinghua, are you trying to make me suffer so I can seduce someone else?!"
Han Jinghua blinked, looking aggrieved. She hadn't meant that at all! She'd been so careful, but this wound…
"Use scissors!"
"This, Xiao Nan, is your best pair of pants."
These pants were not worn very often, and each time she wore them, she was very careful. It was quite a shame that they were ruined by cutting them like this.
Our family isn't doing well right now, so where would we get the money to buy new pants?
I figured that even though the pants were dirty, I could take them off, wash them properly, and still wear them again.
"Han Jinghua, are your pants more important than me? They're killing me!"
At this moment, Han Jinghua was still hesitating, so Lu Xiaonan had to get up and slap her a few times.
"I'm fine!"
Han Jinghua tried again and, after confirming that it really didn't work, she had no choice but to use the scissors.
The moment those scissors fell, her heart bled with pain, and Lu Xiaonan screamed in agony.
"Mom, what's wrong with Dad?" Da Niu and Er Niu had just returned home when they heard Lu Xiaonan screaming like a pig being slaughtered. The two of them rushed in and were startled by the scene in the room.
"You two good-for-nothings, what are you doing back here at a time like this!"
Lu Xiaonan was already in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. When he saw his two daughters come in and see his disheveled appearance, he yelled at them.
“I… Father…”
The two had meant well, but were suddenly scolded like that. Da Niu and Er Niu were so aggrieved that their eyes welled up with tears, which fell down their cheeks.
The two felt wronged. They hadn't done anything wrong, so why was their father scolding them?
"Get lost! Seeing you two good-for-nothings brings me bad luck!"
"You all better get out of here!"
Han Jinghua quickly told them to leave, and the two little girls, though worried, went out with a pitiful expression.
Inside the room, Lu Xiaonan was still cursing: "I knew I was having such bad luck today, it must be because of those two good-for-nothings."
Han Jinghua carefully helped him cut his pants. Although there was medicine at home, it was of very poor quality. When she applied the medicine to Lu Xiaonan, he scolded her again.
"Bah! You heartless wretch, you deserve to be unfilial to your mother!"
Lu Xiaonan's mother also found out that her son had been beaten. Instead of feeling sorry for him, she spat at him.
Now that her family is doing well, her son is no longer filial to his old mother. How could she not have imagined before that Lu Xiaonan was such a scoundrel?
As for her brother, he was secretly pleased to hear this, since she was going to live a good life on her own.
...
"Xue'er, what are your plans to do about the Li family's affairs?"
Following Han Yuchen's lead, the natural course of action was to retaliate. The Li family had gone too far; they could make a scene, but why drag innocent people into it?
"My dad can't let this go unpunished!"
Han Luoxue sneered. She used to take good care of Li Aidi. Who would have thought that any family would do such a thing?
"Okay, let's go then!"
Han Yuchen agreed, saying that she could take on their entire family by herself.
"Shall we go over there?" Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow. "What's the point if it's just the two of us?"
Han Yuchen looked at her, puzzled: "You mean?"
"Now that we're all back, let's treat the villagers to something nice to eat. We don't need to invite everyone, Xiaoyu already wrote them all down, didn't she?"
Han Luoyu, who had been listening attentively, nodded quickly. She then took out a small notebook from her bosom and handed it to Han Luoxue, saying, "Sister, it's all written down here very clearly."
Han Luoxue opened up a bit, listing clearly those who helped them, those who spoke up for her family, those who made sarcastic remarks, and those who kicked her when she was down.
They even remembered clearly who gave the grain to those families.
"Sister, although these families haven't done anything outrageous, they've always been helping others. They've been sarcastic and unfriendly towards us."
Han Luoyu is still young, and she is not good at handling this kind of thing.
“I told my father before that Han Mingyuan is not a petty person. Those families have always been very nice to her, so she didn’t have the heart to stop them from having children.”
However, according to Han Luoyu's opinion, they shouldn't continue to help them.
Now that her sister is back, Han Luoyu wants to know how her sister will handle the situation.
"Yu'er, what do you mean by these companies...?"
