Chapter 60 She is ours
When you reach the edge of a cliff in life, if someone offers you a thorny bush, you will grab it without hesitation.
Not to mention that what was handed over was a handkerchief with the fragrance of soapberry.
Lu Chunniang looked up at the little girl in front of her and nodded with sobs.
"well……"
I cried so hard that I couldn't utter a single word.
Su Zhizhi turned to Liu Xiangxiang and Xue Che and said:
"We found a tailor."
As soon as they entered the alley, they asked if there was a tailor who would go with them.
When everyone saw these little kids, they didn't take them seriously. But when they saw Kong Wu, who was as strong as a black bear behind them, they didn't dare to not answer.
Some people say that a relative of the Lu family at the end of the alley recently returned home. It is said that he used to sew clothes in the palace.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I saw that she was very skillful when sewing clothes.
Su Zhizhi and the others walked to the end of the alley and saw Lu Chunniang lying on the ground crying.
When Liu Xiangxiang saw how ferociously Lu Daming beat someone, she was so scared that she dared not even breathe and hid behind Su Zhizhi.
Seeing such a weak woman being beaten to such an extent, Xue Che frowned and said solemnly:
"Our dynasty has a law: Anyone who strikes a brother or sister shall be exiled for two years; if serious injuries are caused, the perpetrator shall be exiled three thousand miles away."
"You beat a sister in the street. If the offense is serious, you should be exiled!"
Xue Che is a small man, but he speaks in a deep voice with a frown on his face, which makes him look quite imposing.
Lu Daming felt a little flustered when he heard this, but his face became even tougher as he said:
"What do you little brats have to do with my family affairs? Get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll beat you up too!"
Lu Daming raised his hand to push Su Zhizhi and Xue Che away.
A strong arm came from the side.
Kong Wu, who was much taller and stronger than Lu Daming, took a few steps forward, glaring at him.
Kong Wu looks fierce, and even more fierce when he is angry.
Lu Daming could knock Lu Chunniang to the ground with one punch, and Kong Wu could knock Lu Daming over with one punch.
"Ah——!" Lu Daming saw stars and wailed with his hands covering his face.
Mrs. Lu hurried over to help, shouting at the top of her voice:
"Murder—"
"Who are you? Our head of the family is teaching our sister-in-law a lesson, why are you outsiders interfering?"
Su Zhizhi stood in front of Lu Chunniang, with her hands spread out like eagle wings to protect the people behind her:
"She's my tailor now. She's one of ours."
"Anyone who dares to touch her will bring trouble upon our village."
Seeing that Lu Chunniang was about to faint, Liu Xiangxiang hurriedly pulled Su Zhizhi:
"Zhizhi, she seems to be dying. She needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."
Kong Wu lifted up the nearly fainted Lu Chunniang with one hand, and they walked out of the alley.
Lu Daming and his wife wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare. They just kept shouting:
"Someone is forcibly abducting a woman!"
"Quick report officer!"
No one else in Maocao Lane dared to stop Kong Wu, let alone report to the police and cause trouble.
Everyone watched as Su Zhizhi and his group disappeared at the alley entrance.
Lu Daming shouted for a while, and was helped into the thatched hut by Mrs. Lu.
The crowd watching in the alley also dispersed.
But not long after, another group of outsiders appeared at the entrance of the alley.
This time it was actually a bailiff from the county government, who walked straight to the end of the alley.
"Who is Lu Daming?" the bailiff shouted harshly.
Mrs. Lu came out crying, thinking someone had reported her sister-in-law to the police and that she had been kidnapped.
"Sir, you are finally here. Someone injured my husband and kidnapped my sister-in-law. Please help us..."
Before Mrs. Lu could finish her howl, the bailiff had already lifted the curtain of the thatched hut, strode in and arrested Lu Daming.
"Lu Daming! Someone accused you of abusing your sisters. County Magistrate Song sent us to bring you to the county government office."
Lu Daming was so frightened when he saw the yamen runners that his legs were shaking, and he no longer had any of his previous arrogance.
He remembered what the young man had just said about exile, and broke out in a cold sweat:
"Sir, this is a misunderstanding... I didn't do it. I'm innocent..."
"I was just teaching my sisters a lesson. What brother wouldn't teach his disobedient sisters a lesson?... I'm being wronged..."
Mrs. Lu panicked and stepped forward to grab the yamen runner's sleeve:
"Sir, I testify that it's all my aunt's fault, and my husband is wronged..."
The bailiff pushed Mrs. Lu away and carried Lu Daming away with a cold face:
"Whether it's an injustice or not, County Magistrate Song will investigate it himself. Let's go!"
Mrs. Lu fell to the ground and cried, while Lu Daming struggled and was taken away.
The winter sun sets early and quickly.
It was getting dark before we knew it.
In a small courtyard in the county town.
Lu Chunniang lay on the couch and slowly woke up.
When she woke up, the wounds on her body had been treated with medicine and had stopped bleeding.
"The doctor said your injuries look scary, but fortunately, your bones aren't injured."
Su Zhizhi brought a small bowl of water to Lu Chunniang.
Lu Chunniang's tired eyes reflected the appearance of two children, a boy and a girl, both with lovely features.
"Who are you? Where are the adults at home?"
"My mother is busy outside and hasn't come back yet. My mother and grandmother are very busy and work very hard. People in our village are very busy and have no time to make clothes, so I asked you to come back and make clothes."
As long as Su Zhizhi wants to talk, she can talk non-stop to anyone.
Lu Chunniang said worriedly, "Bringing me back might cause trouble for your family."
Xue Che knew what she meant and said in a firm tone:
"Your brother won't come looking for you again. We've already gone to the county office and informed the magistrate. Magistrate Song hates evil and will certainly punish you according to the law. He won't dare to bother you again."
There was surprise and suspicion in Lu Chunniang's eyes.
She was surprised that these were not things that an ordinary child would do or say.
Su Zhizhi saw Lu Chunniang's half-believing and half-doubting expression:
"My mother will come back later and tell you, and then you will believe it."
About half an hour later, Wu Yingniang, Hao Ren, Old Man Qin and Grandma Qiu all came back from the restaurant.
Kong Wu, who was chopping wood in the yard, gestured to them and told them that there was a tailor in the guest room.
Hao Ren and the others also raised their eyebrows in surprise:
Did Zhizhi really pick up a tailor?
Su Zhizhi did say last night that she was going to find a tailor to make clothes for the villagers.
Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang just smiled.
It’s okay for Zhizhi to pick up some flowers, plants and small animals in the mountains, but it’s not that easy to find a living tailor.
But I didn’t expect Zhizhi to act so quickly and bring people back today!
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qiu, please come in and see the person Che and I are looking for."
Su Zhizhi ran out of the door and excitedly took Wu Yingniang's hand and walked towards the guest room.
Xue Che also came out and told how they found and rescued Lu Chunniang, and how they went to the county government to report the matter.
Compared to Su Zhizhi's excitement, Xue Che remained very calm.
But he was not at peace inside.
Today, for the first time, he and Su Zhizhi helped others when they saw injustice.
The virtues of a gentleman learned from the book are truly useful today.
"Ache and Zhizhi did a great job." Hao Ren touched Xue Che's head.
When Xue Che received the compliment, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, but he quickly pretended to be a little adult and pursed his lips.
Su Zhizhi had already pulled Wu Yingniang into the guest room.
Lu Chunniang, who was inside the house, saw a very heroic and cheerful woman come in. She stood up awkwardly and put her needlework aside.
"lady."
