Despite it being the middle of summer, Li Bingchen entered the house with a chill emanating from him.
Seeing the 'pretty boy' enter the house, Yun Duo's eyes lit up, and she happily shouted, "Li Cheng! You're back!" She wanted to ask him how things were going with what she had mentioned yesterday, but seeing the unhappiness etched on his face, she swallowed her words and instead ran to Li Bingchen's side, happily taking his hand and saying, "You're so lucky! We caught a rabbit this morning, and Grandma stir-fried some rabbit pieces; they're still warm in the pan."
"Grandpa Yun, Grandma Yun, hello."
Seeing Yun Duo's smiling face, Li Bingchen's coldness finally subsided a bit. He first greeted Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi, then looked at Yun Duo and said, "Didn't you want a wheelbarrow? I brought it for you. It's under the eaves outside. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Really?" Yun Duo's eyes brightened even more, and she looked at Li Bingchen happily, saying, "Thank you." She didn't refuse at all, nor did she say anything about giving Li Bingchen money.
Since she's already asked for it, there's no need to be coy.
Seeing that Yun Duo readily accepted his kindness, Li Bingchen felt a little better. He pulled Yun Duo along and said, "Come on, I'll show you around." As he spoke, he turned to walk outside, but when he saw Zhang Juhua standing safely in the house, Li Bingchen frowned again: "Zhang Yang, didn't you hear what I said? I told you to throw this woman into the river, didn't you hear me? Or are you saying you won't listen to me either?" His tone was filled with inexplicable irritation.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile wryly. He knew that this young master was unhappy, and he couldn't persuade him. He could only bite the bullet and agree. Then he grabbed Zhang Juhua's clothes by the back and dragged her outside.
"Hey... what are you doing? Let me go, let me go... cough cough cough... let go... help, help me... cough cough cough cough..." Zhang Juhua immediately struggled, but her clothes were grabbed at the back and strangled, making it hard for her to breathe. In just a few moments, she lost the ability to struggle. She could only desperately pull at her collar, kick her legs, and let out weak cries for help.
Lu Zhimin and Lu Laogen were both stunned.
Lu Laogen was afraid of trouble, so he instinctively shrank back, trying his best to minimize his presence. As for Lu Zhimin—because the county magistrate had previously spoken to him on his behalf, he naturally knew that this young master who had saved Yun Duo was a powerful figure whom even the county magistrate couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to stop him at all.
In this way, Zhang Juhua was easily dragged out of the yard by Zhang Yang.
However, no matter how bad Zhang Juhua was, she was still his wife, and Lu Laogen couldn't really ignore her. Although he was scared, he gritted his teeth, shoved the old hen in his hand into Lu Zhimin's hand, and said, "Brother, hold this for me, I need to go and take a look."
"Sigh..." Lu Zhimin reached out, unsure whether he should stop him or not. After a slight hesitation, Lu Laogen chased after him. Fortunately, the 'little benefactor' didn't stop him, which reassured Lu Zhimin a little.
After all, they were family, and even if they weren't family, he didn't want anyone to die in the village.
Li Bingchen was simply angry and had nowhere to vent; he didn't really want Zhang Juhua dead, so naturally he wouldn't stop Lu Laogen from rescuing her. As long as Zhang Yang threw Zhang Juhua into the river to teach her a lesson, that was enough for him; he didn't care about anything else.
