Chapter 148 The Male Protagonist's Excellent Mother (Thirty-Five)
"Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed by the carriage!"
In front of the carriage, there was a dirty and old beggar lying.
He lay straight on the ground with his eyes closed.
The person who was shouting was naturally not him, but two or three enthusiastic people who were "watching the fun".
They either look shifty or rude. Anyway, they have already been exposed - I am not a good person! "Beggars are also human beings, why are they rushing around like that?"
"Is there still justice? Is there still law? Can a wife of a rich family bump into anyone at will?"
"Someone come and take a look! Someone has been hit! The rich lady has hit someone to death!"
The thugs didn't even look at the beggar, but instead made a fuss at the carriage and the onlookers.
Most of the onlookers remained silent, because these gangsters were not "unknown" little people in the county, but -
Only a very small number of people who don't know the details will echo, "Oh, this old beggar is so pitiful!"
"How could you hit someone? Look at what you've done to the person."
"That's right! I look at the old beggar. He breathes in more than he breathes out. I'm afraid he's going to fail!"
"…Wouldn't that mean someone died?"
When Wan Niangzi led Zheng Wanjun to the front of the crowd, she saw this scene—
The carriage, the beggar lying on the ground whose life or death was unknown, the thugs who were making a fuss, and the pointing and gossip of a few people.
Originally, Madam Wan didn't want to bring her daughter along.
Zheng Wanjun blinked his big curious eyes and looked at her pitifully.
"That's fine! My daughter can learn more about these street tricks if she sees them earlier."
With the idea of educating her daughter at the same time, Madam Wan brought Zheng Wanjun along.
Since he wanted to teach his daughter, Zheng Wanjun started teaching as soon as he arrived at the scene: "Jun'er, do you see anything?"
"There was no sign of injury on the old beggar's body!"
Zheng Wanjun is not a real child, she has the observation skills of an adult.
Furthermore, in later generations, she had already seen a lot of cases of fraud in various media and social platforms.
Compared with the various blackmail methods used in later generations, this scene was simply crude and ridiculous.
Tsk, if you're going to rob the carriage, at least get some blood on your face or body!
This old beggar was indeed dying, but it was obvious that he was sick, not injured.
No matter how powerful a carriage is, it is impossible to make a person seriously ill.
"That's right! Jun'er, you said it very well!"
There was a flash of surprise in Wan Niangzi's eyes.
She knew that her daughter was sensible and precocious.
I have been particularly worry-free since I was a child.
They were obviously twins, a boy and a girl, but the son, who was a quarter of an hour younger than her, was just as crying and naughty as before.
As for my daughter, she doesn’t cry or make a fuss. She only hums a few times when she is hungry or has diarrhea.
It can be said that since the confinement period, her daughter has made Mrs. Wan very relieved.
In addition, her daughter was the only one among three children, and her husband treated her as the apple of his eye. Gradually, Mrs. Wan's heart was biased.
In the past, Wan Niangzi only thought that her daughter was precocious, but now, she realized that her daughter had keen observation and was extremely thoughtful.
Her knowledge is much better than that of many adult women.
Ahem, for example, when something goes wrong, Gu is at a loss! Alas, this Gu is really hard for Lady Wan to describe.
This was such an obvious case of extortion that passers-by could see it clearly.
But she didn't explain it as soon as possible. Her first reaction after getting off the carriage was fear, and then she started crying! Miss Wan was so disappointed.
Gu Qingcheng: ...What do you know! It is human instinct to sympathize with the weak.
Regardless of whether this group of people were blackmailing him or not, the fact was that the old beggar was about to die.
As the "culprit", if Gu Qingcheng got off the carriage, he would have asked for the reason in a sharp and tough manner, or even called the authorities.
The first impression she gave people was that she was too strong.
Even if you are right, you should not be too aggressive.
Otherwise, there would be no one in this world advising people not to be "unyielding even when they are right".
Gu Qingcheng’s principle is that if you are weak, I am weaker!
So, when she heard the clamor of a few gangsters outside, she got off the carriage tremblingly.
The moment she appeared in front of everyone, the onlookers held their breath for a moment——
Hiss~ What a weak, harmless, pitiful and helpless peerless beauty.
The beauty was wearing mourning clothes and had her hair tied up in a bun, obviously someone in mourning.
She has a slender figure, like a willow swaying in the wind.
She looked sick, yet so beautiful that it made people feel pity.
What does it mean to be like Xizi holding her heart? This is probably what it means.
She is neither an overbearing rich lady nor a tough mistress who only cares about reason. She is just a poor and helpless little white flower.
The first impression Gu Qingcheng gave people was that she was completely superior to those thugs and the fallen old beggar.
After seeing the old beggar who was barely breathing, Gu Qingcheng's already fair face turned pale in an instant.
Her body also began to tremble slightly.
Oh, the frail beauty was frightened!
Everyone watching felt somewhat distressed.
It's not about eroticism, it's just a simple touch of beautiful things with a sense of brokenness.
Then, Gu Qingcheng began her performance——
Cry~~ Cry so hard that the pear blossoms are wet with rain, cry so hard that the cuckoo cries blood.
People in the Zhao family’s old house: …This scene is so damn familiar.
It was the first time for the hooligans and the onlookers to see such a thing and they were all stunned.
Especially the few thugs who were causing the commotion, when they saw that Gu Qingcheng actually started to vomit blood weakly, they felt unwell completely.
Damn, who is blackmailing me?
The old beggar lying on the ground was actually picked up by them from the dilapidated temple.
He had been seriously ill and was dying, and would die if he wasn't touched.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They heard Ji Dalang say that their neighbor was a sucker, timid and easily deceived.
I also heard that Madam Gu was going to the Taoist temple to perform a ritual for her dead husband today, so she dragged the old beggar here and set up this trap.
In fact, the carriage did not touch the old beggar at all.
Even if the old beggar really died, it was due to illness.
If the matter becomes a big deal, the government officials will come and they will ask the coroner and doctor to investigate and find out the truth.
The gangsters wanted to scare the foolish woman first, and then threaten and coax her into paying some money.
Instead of really making a big deal out of it——
Ji Dalang really deserves to die, why didn’t he say that Gu was a sickly person?
Seeing her crying and coughing up blood, if she fainted, and anything happened to her, those thugs would probably be sued!
After all, even when it comes to human life, a virtuous woman with a house and land is more noble than a lowly old beggar.
Not to mention, this Gu family is doing business with the wife of the county master! Damn it ! Ji Dalang hurt me! The faces of several gangsters became extremely bad, looking left and right, trying to find a way out.
Scared!
They are really scared!
A woman's crying is nothing.
But, crying until vomiting blood...it's really fucking scary.
The thugs who were causing trouble began to back off, and the onlookers, after being shocked, felt deep sympathy.
The child, who really couldn't help himself, was too young to be afraid of the street rogues, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "It wasn't the fairy who hit him at all."
"Yes! I saw it all. The fairy lady's carriage hadn't even arrived yet, but the beggar was thrown onto the street."
"Blackmail! You are all bad people!"
"Eh? Isn't this Gou San'er? Wasn't he imprisoned by the county magistrate for stealing last year? Is he released again?"
"So it was him! Humph, I really thought there was a hero who stood up for justice, but it turns out he was just a gangster setting up a blackmail scheme!"
With the children's testimony, more passers-by began to speak out.
Among the crowd, there were people who knew these thugs.
They didn't dare to offend these people, but they felt sorry for Gu.
A virtuous woman was blackmailed by a scoundrel in broad daylight. She was wrongly accused and felt so angry that she vomited blood! Lady Wan & Zheng Wanjun: ...The way things turned out is a bit strange.
Shouldn't we reason with the gangsters, then ask the police to...beat the blackmailing gangsters to death step by step?
How come Gu seemed to have solved the problem just by crying?
Also, was Gu's health really that bad? She had actually started to cough up blood? Han Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the carriage, was at a loss for words.
Well, she went to Qingfeng Temple with Aunt Zhao. After the carriage accident, Han Jiaojiao was frightened.
She was timid to begin with, and had been well protected since childhood, so how could she have ever seen such a street trick? She subconsciously hugged Gu Qingcheng's arm.
So, whenever Gu Qingcheng made some little move, she saw it.
Uh, I always feel like something is wrong, but when she saw how Auntie solved the problem easily without doing anything, Han Jiaojiao felt like the door to a new world had opened in front of her.
"Madam Gu!"
When Madam Wan saw that Gu Qingcheng's body was beginning to shake, she rushed forward and held her up with her hand.
"The child testified, and the old man had no external injuries... It's clear now, the carriage didn't hit anyone!"
"It's these hooligans who got an old man who was dying of illness from somewhere and tried to blackmail Madam Gu."
"Mrs. Gu is young and chaste, and she is weak and frail. She is truly respectable and pitiful! How despicable these hooligans are to frame such a chaste woman!"
Wan Niangzi spoke righteously and directly convicted the gangster.
"Yes! Gou Saner and his gang are so despicable. They actually used such means!"
"Oh my, look how scared Madam Gu is! If anything happens to her, Gou Saner and his gang will have to pay with their lives!"
"Eh? The police are here! Quick! Quickly get the police to come over and take Gou Saner's locks back to the government office!"
With Wan Niangzi's wave of her arm, passers-by who already felt some pity for Gu responded one after another.
Gou Saner and others have simply incurred public wrath.
Madam Wan, who was at the center of the incident and protected Madam Gu behind her, was like a heroine.
Zheng Wanjun stood in the crowd, and when he saw such an independent and capable mother, his eyes were full of light.
In sharp contrast to Madam Wan is the weak and crying Madam Gu.
Alas, this person really can't stand up.
Brother Qingyun must have a hard time having such a mother.
