The father and son have made up their minds to make trouble for Lian.
The next day, according to the plan, the matter of releasing grain was explained to the people.
Of course they did have some complaints, but this thing was given for free. If the Guo family held on to their stored food and refused to give it to them, they couldn't continue to rob it like they did yesterday.
Moreover, there was a big fuss about the food robbery yesterday, and today the old man called the people from the yamen and put them there. Who would dare to take action?
The old man and his son finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They also knew that the reputation they had accumulated over the years was ruined.
But it’s okay as long as the family property is still there.
However, before the father and son had time to be happy, Lian came with Guo Dalang. She was wearing plain clothes today, with no makeup on her face, a sad look on her face, and dark circles under her eyes. She led the injured Guo Dalang to kneel in front of the Guo family's largest shop and prostrated herself on the ground.
Guo Dalang was badly injured and didn't even have breakfast that morning. The injuries he received from the beating yesterday looked even more serious.
After she knelt down, everyone outside was stunned and stayed to watch the fun.
"Oh, what happened? How could a good child be beaten like this? Oh my God, there is no good flesh on his face!" The talkative old woman spoke again.
The old man and his son quickly appeared. When they saw Lian, they immediately said, "What are you doing kneeling here? You're just giving people misunderstandings! Why don't you get up quickly? You didn't come home last night, and your husband was worried sick!"
After saying this, everyone looked at Lian with strange eyes.
I didn't go home all night...
Is there some unspeakable secret inside?
"Dad! Dad, don't be angry... I'm living at my mother's house... Dalang told you, and I didn't mean to see a doctor... It's my mother, she's been lying in bed for years, and now she's getting older, I'm really worried... My mother loves me, she saw my wound at a glance, and she forced me to see a doctor, otherwise she would die... Please don't blame my mother, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have hidden the wound... Don't hit Dalang, don't hit him... I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Lian was extremely humble and kept kowtowing.
Guo Dalang also hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I was wrong... I, I just want to accumulate blessings for you, I don't want to waste the family's money... I don't want the property, I just want my mother. Please don't dig my mother's flesh, my heart hurts so much... I'll do it, I'll do it..."
As he said that, Guo Dalang quickly pulled up his sleeves, took out a knife, rolled up his sleeves and started scraping his arms.
Lian saw this and quickly grabbed the knife. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let me do it! You silly child, you are still young. I am so old and in such poor health. I won't live for many more years! How can I let you suffer so much?"
As she said that, Lian quickly pulled her arm away.
As a woman, it was not proper for her to expose her arms. However, as she got older, she didn't care so much about it. Besides, in her current state, who would care whether she was a woman or not?
All I could see were the deep and light skin scars on the arm, and there was almost no good flesh left.
It was one thing to hear about it from others, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the shock is even greater.
"Guo Yulai, are you still human? This is the daughter of a good family, how can you allow yourself to be treated so badly?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd started cursing, "Who would want this old rice? You and your son will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
