"Uncle, I'm sorry. Lu Juanjuan has been slandering me again and again. I really can't help it."
After the slap, Tian Yuzhu shook her hands and said angrily.
If she doesn't fight back at this time, Lu Juanjuan will only become more proud.
The villagers were shocked by this sudden change, but they soon felt relieved. They thought that Lu Juanjuan, the villain, deserved to be beaten.
Lu Juanjuan was still there, covering her face and shouting, "Uncle, Tian Yuzhu is beating people up, you have to take care of it for me."
The village party secretary was almost cursing, saying, "You're the one who made the decision. Aren't you asking for it?"
He waved his hand and said, "Yuzhu, Zhentang, take Xiaoli back first. She must have been scared after being chased down from the mountains by wolves late at night. Go back quickly!"
The rest of you can go home now too. Find a companion on the way and don’t walk alone.”
Okay, go home, go home!
The danger was over and everyone turned around and walked back eagerly.
Lu Juanjuan stamped her feet: "Uncle, what about me? Tian Yuzhu hit me and hasn't apologized to me yet. You can't let her go..."
"Hey, Xiao Lu, now that you're back in the village, why don't you just live a peaceful life? I'm telling you, starting tomorrow you have to work hard in the fields and plant your own private plots, otherwise you and your dad will starve."
"What?"
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang walked a long way away and still heard Lu Juanjuan arguing with the village party secretary!
They each held Shi Xiaoli's wrist. Maybe she was scared or tired after running in the mountains all day, but now Shi Xiaoli was particularly well-behaved.
Don't cry or make a fuss, just follow them obediently.
The young couple did not comment on Lu Juanjuan's affairs for the time being. They went back to the Shi family's old courtyard, entered the house and lit the oil lamp.
Only then could I clearly see Shi Xiaoli's overall condition.
Most of his clothes were torn by the branches, and there were many dead leaves in his hair.
I guess when the wolves were driving her down the mountain, Shi Xiaoli was so scared that she ran around in the woods like a headless fly, which is why she is in her current state.
Tian Ying got up when she heard the noise. Seeing that the person had been found, she was so excited that she hurried out to find water to wash Shi Xiaoli's face and feet.
On the other side, Su Zhen and others in the new courtyard also heard the noise.
The family had been sleeping restlessly to begin with, and they all woke up when they heard the sound of the courtyard gate.
Shi Weimin hurriedly accompanied Su Zhen to check the situation. When he found that Shi Xiaoli had returned, he felt relieved.
As for how she came back, Shi Zhentang said, "She came down the mountain on her own. We'll tell you the details tomorrow."
"Sister-in-law, is there anything ready to eat in the kitchen?" Tian Yuzhu only then felt her stomach rumbling. It didn't matter whether she ate or not before, but now it was no longer possible.
She hadn't had dinner since returning from Xinyi Town, and then she was busy going up the mountain to look for Shi Xiaoli. Several hours had passed, and now she was very hungry.
Su Zhen immediately agreed: "It's okay, the noodles will be ready soon. I'll go make them right now. Please wait a moment."
It is a great thing that the person has returned. Not to mention making some food, she would even be willing to go hunting in the mountains right now.
Just as he finished speaking, Shi Weiqiang came in. He couldn't sleep more than the others.
Knowing that my second brother and his wife went up the mountain, I was worried!
At this moment, he quickly put on his clothes and came over: "Second sister-in-law, has Xiaoli been found?"
Tian Yuzhu was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag, so she continued, "Xiao Li came down the mountain by herself. Luckily she wasn't bitten by the wolf. By the way, third brother, your second brother has some things in his car. Please help move them."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Shi Weiqiang took the car keys from Shi Zhentang and weighed them, feeling extremely happy.
When he was in the county town, the cement truck driver once taught him how to use the car keys. Now he can directly touch the police car keys. He can't tell you how excited he is.
Tian Yuzhu suddenly remembered: "I'll go with you!"
In fact, he had something to say to Shi Weiqiang. He couldn't let anything slip about the wolves coming down the mountain just now.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it confirm Lu Juanjuan’s guess?
On the way, she briefly told Shi Weiqiang what had happened.
The guy's eyes widened immediately: "Damn, that guy named Lu actually came to eavesdrop on our house."
But where was she hiding at the time?
He took a quick look and walked to the low wall at the edge of the yard: "Could she have been hiding here?"
Damn it, Shi Weiqiang thought to himself, tomorrow he will go dig up some of the most powerful thorny branches and plant them behind the low wall, forcing you to hide, forcing you to eavesdrop, and prick you half to death.
Tian Yuzhu said, "In short, you must control your mouth."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If that Lu girl dares to act recklessly again, I'll beat her up."
"Okay, open the trunk and move the stuff!"
After opening it and seeing so much food, Shi Weiqiang couldn't help but sigh: "Second sister-in-law, you are so good to our family."
"Nonsense, we're at home, so why shouldn't we be nice to each other?" Tian Yuzhu laughed.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly ran past them in a hurry.
Although it was difficult to see who it was in the moonlight, Shi Weiqiang could already make out about 70% of the figure: "It's Dad. He must know that Xiaoli is back."
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Did he say anything when he came back from the county town?"
"No, he just kept making noises. Then Uncle Tao called him away."
“…”
As they were talking, the two of them moved their things back to the new yard.
Shi Weiqiang didn't let Tian Yuzhu carry anything. He held rice and noodles in each arm, and a few more things in his hands. He didn't let his second sister-in-law touch anything.
When we returned to the new courtyard, the old lady had also gotten up.
Seeing the young couple buying so many things in the city, he complained a few times that they shouldn't spend money indiscriminately and should save it for raising their children in the future.
Besides gratitude, Su Zhen also felt a great sense of happiness.
She had never dared to imagine that she would no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Because Shi De was crying in the old courtyard, Shi Zhentang and Shi Weimin called Tian Ying to come to the new courtyard.
Tian Ying couldn't sit still, so she went to the kitchen to help Su Zhen as soon as she entered the yard.
Tian Yuzhu went to the kitchen and told them, "Sister-in-law, it's so late and everyone must be tired. Everyone should have a bowl of noodles. There are plenty of noodles."
"Why!"
Su Zhenquan followed her instructions and happily added water to the pot.
Soon, the hot noodles were served, with diced wild boar meat fried in sauce as a cap. A spoonful of it was added to the noodles and it tasted delicious.
Especially Tian Ying, she had never eaten noodles with diced meat in them.
And looking at the many different kinds of smoked meat hanging in Old Shi's kitchen, she felt that other people's lives were like heaven and earth compared to her life at Zhou Ergou's house.
But she didn't have the courage to ask who had hunted so many prey!
While everyone was eating noodles, Su Zhen was busy sending Shi De and Shi Xiaoli's to the nursing home.
After a while, he came back and said, "Dad said he would feed Xiaoli noodles. He also told everyone to wait. After the noodles are finished, he will come over to talk to her."
"Look at him," the old lady said angrily. "He's incompetent at everything he does. He really thinks he's a nobody!"
