"What are you doing?" Gu Nian snatched Gu Xin from Lu Zheng's hands.
Lu Zheng didn't expect the two women to come in. Caught off guard, and with Gu Xin's natural bias towards Gu Nian, Gu Xin was taken away.
He tried to arrest more people, but Gu Xin blocked him with a carrying pole.
Don't ask why there's a carrying pole on the oxcart. When they were selling cakes in town, they wouldn't drive the oxcart right up to the pastry shop. At first, they carried the cakes on their backs, but as the number of cakes increased, they had to use baskets, which Gu Shouxin would then carry on his shoulder.
"You look all grown up, but you're a kidnapper! Hey, take this from me, Old Gu!" Gu Nian wielded the carrying pole with the flair of Shaolin staff techniques.
Lu Zheng frowned.
How did Xin'er's older sister become so savage? She's always been ruthless and doesn't have much fighting ability!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I saw that uncle was being attacked and wanted to help the little girl escape the fighting!" Lu Zheng said, grabbing the carrying pole.
Gu Nian looked at him suspiciously: "If it's a misunderstanding, then young hero, come with me to help my father, the uncle you mentioned!"
She doesn't believe it!
Didn't their Xin Xin struggle and resist?
“Okay!” Lu Zheng nodded.
The situation has changed. His Xin'er clearly doesn't want to go with him, so he changes his plans and decides to get closer first!
So Lu Zheng followed Gu Nian and joined the battle.
Cai Xiaolian originally wanted to rush in with the knife, but she was worried about leaving Gu Xin behind. She was also afraid that the mother and daughter would become a hindrance to Gu Shouxin and his daughter if they stayed. So she took Gu Xin to the door, held Gu Xin tightly with one hand, and raised the kitchen knife with the other.
Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of trouble coming in, especially outside the door.
With the addition of Gu Nian and Lu Zheng, Gu Shouxin quickly turned the tide of the battle.
He captured the gang's leader, Brother Leopard.
This "Big Leopard Brother" is surnamed Zhang, and he is a cousin of Zhang Bapi, and they have a very good relationship.
Big Leopard is in charge of debt collection for gambling dens. Last time, Zhang Bapi and his gang were humiliated while collecting debts in Sanchakou Village, so he was naturally very angry.
He was thinking of giving Gu Shouxin a good beating after Gu Shouxin paid back the money. If Gu Shouxin didn't pay it back, even better. He even considered selling Gu Shouxin's entire family of four.
So when Gu Shouxin took out the silver note to take back his IOU, Brother Leopard refused to produce the IOU, and instead insulted him and even physically assaulted him.
Before Lu Zheng came in, Gu Shouxin was somewhat restrained because of Gu Xin's presence. He was hit several times, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Give me the IOU." Gu Shouxin stepped on Big Leopard's back and pulled his hands back, so that Big Leopard was in a prone position.
"Pah! My brothers and I went to your house to collect money, and your wife and daughter got head injuries, so you extorted two taels of silver. Now we're all injured, and the money on the IOU isn't enough!" Big Leopard spat out a mouthful of blood and said viciously.
He wasn't afraid at all. The gambling den was his territory. He could act as arrogantly as he pleased now, but when his other brothers returned, they would definitely cripple this bastard!
"Aren't you going to return it or not? If you don't, I'll hit you with this carrying pole, and you'll be going to the palace!" Gu Nian stood next to Gu Shouxin with the carrying pole in her hand, pointing one end at Big Leopard's buttocks, looking as fierce as could be.
Gu Shouxin, Cai Xiaolian, Lu Zheng: "..."
What a fierce woman.
Gu Xin couldn't understand what spanking had to do with going to the palace.
“Niannian, a girl should be gentle. Let your father do this kind of thing.” Gu Shouxin took the carrying pole with his free hand.
