Chapter 20: Seeking Justice and Seeing Through Zhao Jiayun's Thoughts

Jiang Xingyan is his nephew, and Jiang Zongzheng is also worried about him. If he were not the captain, he would definitely scold Old Lady Luo.

"Okay, Xingyan is a soldier. If you say anything and the Jiang family calls the police, you'll be put in jail."

Old Mrs. Luo was uneducated, and Jiang Zongzheng's few words frightened her so much that she dared not even breathe. She looked at Lin Xiuzhi's back and wiped her tears alone, then limped home with her hair disheveled.

Zhao Jiayun was taking advantage of the time when no one was around to develop a relationship with Luo Yiping. The two were talking in the yard, with Zhao Jiayun biting her lip shyly and speaking to Luo Yiping in a low voice.

"Brother Luo, are you hungry? I have some food here."

Luo Yiping glanced at her calmly and shook his head: "No need, if Zhao Zhiqing has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Brother Luo, just call me Jiayun."

Luo Yiping asked impatiently: "Zhao Zhiqing, what on earth do you want to do?"

Zhao Jiayun murmured twice, but before he could explain, he heard a sound, and Old Mrs. Luo held her waist and cried "Ouch, ouch".

"Son, Yiping, come and help me."

Luo Yiping didn't care about Zhao Jiayun, he walked past her and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Luo's face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot. She gnashed her teeth and wished she could peel off Lin Xiuzhi's skin. "Don't mention it. That damn old woman from the Jiang family beat me."

"What!" Luo Yiping was a filial child. When he heard that his mother was bullied outside, he rolled up his sleeves with anger on his face and went to the Jiang family to ask for an explanation.

"Hey, Yiping, don't go. We are an orphan and a widow, and the Jiang family is the captain. We are from a different family, so forget it."

Old Mrs. Luo felt guilty and pulled her son's sleeve, refusing to let him go. The more she did so, the more stubborn Luo Yiping became. He stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with the captain? What's wrong with having a different surname? We have been in Changxing Village for so many years, and we are already residents of this village."

"Mom, don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I'll be back soon." Luo Yiping was as quick as a loach. He pushed the door open and left. Old Mrs. Luo couldn't move even if she shouted at him from behind.

Zhao Jiayun tilted her head and said, "Auntie, are you okay? I'll help you go to the house and rest."

"Okay." Old Mrs. Luo had gained a lot of benefits from Zhao Jiayun recently, so she was willing to give her a smile. The two of them walked towards the house warmly.

"Auntie, you are arguing with the Jiang family. Which Jiang family?"

Old Mrs. Luo held her waist and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "And the Jiang family, the one whose son is in the army, looks up to the sky every day, and he is not happy when I say a few words."

Zhao Jiayun then realized that it was the Jiang family. However, if she remembered correctly, the most promising youngest son of the Jiang family seemed to have returned with an injury, and one of his legs seemed to be lame.

Finally, he was injured and discharged from the army. He was in his thirties and still hadn't married.

Zhao Jiayun suddenly laughed, comforting Old Lady Luo, "Auntie, you are right. Fighting outside will inevitably lead to injuries. You are right."

When Mrs. Luo heard someone agree with her, she was even happier and said with a smile, "I think I was right. Lin Xiuzhi is also a crazy woman. She gets angry when I say a few words to her."

Zhao Jiayun had nothing to say. This... You cursed someone's son in front of his mother, saying that he would never come back. The Jiang family was merciful by not beating you to death.

Luo Yiping left quickly and came back quickly. When he came back, the veins on his neck were bulging, his face was red as if he had a heat stroke, and his eyes were wide open. "Mom, why are you still talking like that?"

He went to the Jiang family to seek justice for his mother, but was caught and lectured by the Jiang family. Aunt Lin even told him the whole process without any hesitation.

Hearing his mother say Jiang Xingyan would not come back, Luo Yiping felt ashamed. Xingyan was protecting the family and the country, but his mother still cursed him. It was really wrong.

Her own son glared at her with a questioning tone. Old Mrs. Luo slapped her thigh and tears fell without a word.

"Who am I doing this for? Well, now that I've grown up, I'm no longer under my control. I've grown up and become independent. Now I'm talking to my mother like this. If that's the case, old man, you might as well take me away."

Old Mrs. Luo threw a tantrum, and Luo Yiping anxiously stopped his mother, "Mom, it's always like this, I can't say anything, Xingyan is a soldier, do you know that you will go to jail if you slander the military?"

Luo Yiping was glad that the Jiang family did not go to the county to report the incident to the police. Chu Zhiqing had just told him that if the Jiang family had called the police, his mother would definitely have been imprisoned for several days.

Hearing his mother's words, Luo Yiping's heart softened again, and he said helplessly: "Mom, please be careful and don't say anything else."

"Don't say anything. I didn't say anything in the first place. Lin Xiuzhi thinks too much. I didn't blame her for hitting me. Look at what she did to me."

As Mrs. Luo spoke, she stretched out her arm, the sprains on it were slightly stained with blood. Zhao Jiayun knew that it was time for her to show off.

"Auntie, I have some alcohol here. Let me disinfect you. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get infected."

Mrs. Luo said indifferently, "Why disinfect? ​​It will be fine in a while."

Luo Yiping nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

"No trouble." Zhao Jiayun smiled gently at Luo Yiping, his eyes glued to Luo Yiping as if they were drawn strings.

Luo Yiping turned away embarrassedly, found an excuse and went out.

Old Mrs. Luo, a shrewd person, watched the whole process with narrowed eyes. She knew something in her heart but didn't say it out loud. However, she became even more critical of Zhao Jiayun.

Her butt isn't big enough for her to give birth, and she isn't as good looking as Chu Zhiqing, but she has a lot of good things in her hands, so she's a good match for her son.

At the Jiang family's side, the atmosphere is now calm yet with ripples. Everyone is feeling insecure and no one dares to say anything for fear of causing Lin Xiuzhi sadness.

Chu Sangning, on the other hand, would always secretly comfort Lin Xiuzhi and tell her not to worry so much.

"Auntie, if your son came back and saw you like this, he would be so sad."

"Yes, Sang Ning is right, Mom, you should have a good rest. If Xingyan comes back one day and sees you and Dad like this, he will definitely think that we didn't take good care of you."

Pan Wenlan now sticks close to her mother-in-law, fearing that she will do something stupid. It has been several days, and her mother-in-law still hasn't said a word, and she has lost her temper.

Lin Xiuzhi knew their good intentions. People often say that a mother and her child are connected by heart. As a mother, she had no idea what had happened to her son. She didn't even have a premonition and felt very nervous.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Good things happen to good people. Soldiers defend their country and that's their contribution. He will definitely return home safely."
