Chapter 104 Daughter, I'm Here
Wu Shan had already made up his mind that once his son was released, he would make the people of Tangjia Village pay the price.
However, we'll have to be discreet about how we do it!
He was unaware that everyone could see right through his thoughts.
Little Su Bao, in particular, is all too familiar with that look.
She pursed her lips, looking at Madam Qian with some nervousness.
"Mom~" Little Su Bao didn't want to cause trouble for Qian Shi and the others, but at this moment, she also didn't want her mother and the others to be deceived.
“He’s lying…” the little dumpling whispered in Qian’s ear.
Madam Qian was a little surprised, after all, Xiao Su Bao was so young, yet she could see through the Wu family.
She ruffled the baby's hair: "Mommy knows, you don't need to worry!"
Qian raised her head and looked at Wu Shan, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
She schemes against her own son and even wants to buy her own daughter. Does she really think she's someone to be bullied?
“Miss Fu said that this matter should be handed over to the yamen. If your son has not committed any crime, then naturally there will be no problem…” Madam Qian did not believe that Wu Youcai was completely innocent.
Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief; she noticed that the Wu family members all had dark aura surrounding them.
These people are definitely not good people.
“You’ve got one thing wrong. Whether they pursue it or not, I will!” Fu Manduo said coldly to Wu Shan.
Wu Shan and his wife's expressions changed slightly. At this moment, they realized that Fu Manduo was probably determined to support the Tang family.
Wu Shan frowned, about to speak, when he heard a commotion coming from the doorway.
"Daughter, I'm here!" Fulin's voice came.
Immediately afterwards, two rows of yamen runners rushed in.
The door to the private room wasn't closed to begin with, so Fulin entered without any hindrance.
"Father..."
Fumanduo was very happy to see her biological father, and she ran over and grabbed his sleeve.
Fulin breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw his daughter.
He had heard that his daughter had been bullied, and he was so frightened that he rushed over from the government office. Fortunately, nothing happened.
"My lord, spare my son's life! My son was young and ignorant, and spoke without thinking. He is not guilty of any heinous crime!" Wu Shan's wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fu Lin, begging for mercy.
Fu Lin's face darkened, and he turned to look at Wu Shan and his wife.
Thinking about what he had just found out, a cold look appeared on his face.
Right after Wu Youcai was arrested, three families came to file lawsuits against him: one accused him of abducting a young woman, another accused him of framing a classmate, and yet another accused him of kicking a child so badly that the child is still barely clinging to life.
These events all occurred many years ago, when he was not yet the magistrate of An County.
The Wu family had colluded with that county magistrate, and they had no way to complain about their grievances.
I only dared to come after hearing that Wu Youcai had been arrested.
Fulin was someone who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing, and he had already sent people to investigate the facts.
"Whether it's a heinous crime or not, we can investigate that!" Fu Lin said calmly.
Wu Shan's expression changed slightly; this Fu Lin was indeed troublesome...
His face darkened, but he pulled his wife up and bowed to Fulin, saying, "Then please, Your Honor, clear my son's name as soon as possible..."
"This humble subject takes his leave!" he said, pulling his wife along as he turned and walked away.
Little Su Bao clasped her hands together, and as Wu Shan turned to leave, she saw the black aura around him suddenly thicken.
She didn't know how to tell anyone else, but her brows were tightly furrowed.
The black aura emanating from this person was spreading towards them. The little girl stared wide-eyed and waved her little hands in front of her.
The Qian family...
"What are you doing?" Madam Qian asked in a low voice.
Little Su Bao was startled, immediately withdrew her little paws, and looked at Qian Shi with a pair of clear eyes.
"N-nothing!" she said dryly, her eyes slightly glazed over.
Ms. Qian was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that she didn't want to talk, she didn't press her.
Seeing that Qian Shi didn't ask, Xiao Su Bao secretly glanced at her, feeling a little guilty.
"Mom, don't be angry, I..." The little baby couldn't help but look at Madam Qian and pursed his lips.
Mrs. Qian ruffled her hair, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"It's alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't!" Madam Qian knew about Xiao Su Bao's unusual behavior, and because she knew, she chose to protect and believe in her.
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, hugged Qian Shi tightly, and didn't say a word. The little girl leaned on Qian Shi's shoulder, extremely quiet.
"Father, you've finally arrived! My little sister Su Bao brought me some delicious red shrimp meat. Would you like to try some?" She immediately looked at her father and asked with a smile.
Fu Lin turned to look at the Tang family members and nodded.
He will always protect his girl to some extent.
Fatty Dong hurriedly ordered a few more dishes to be served. After taking a few bites, Fu Lin said, "You've probably offended the Wu family this time."
Xiao Su Bao's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked up at Fu Lin.
When Fulin saw the little bundle of milk looking at him, he smiled slightly. He had a good impression of this little guy.
“Father, you are the county magistrate. How can you be afraid of a butcher? Xiao Su Bao is my good friend. Besides, I was the one who had Wu Youcai arrested. How can they hold a grudge against someone else?” Fu Manduo said with a rather domineering tone.
Fulin...
This girl!
“Silly girl, don’t you understand the concept of bullying the weak and fearing the strong? I’m not afraid. As long as this Wu guy wants to stay in An County, he won’t dare to offend me, but they can’t!” Fu Lin took a bite of the red shrimp meat, and his eyes lit up.
It's spicy and numbing, which suits his taste.
He couldn't help but take a few more bites before continuing, "The Qian family, right? The Wu family controls all the butcher shops in An County, and they buy all the pork from the nearby villages. What will you do if they don't want the meat from your village and won't let anyone sell it to you?"
Ms. Qian paused, then fell silent for a moment.
His eyes held a slightly strange look, but he still spoke truthfully: "Sir, don't worry, cough cough, our village doesn't need them to collect pigs..."
Fu Lin was taken aback, not understanding what Qian meant by that.
Suddenly he remembered something!
He remembered that he had looked into Tangjia Village at the beginning, and the village seemed to be quite...poor!
When I visited their village before, I didn't see many pigs...
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Fatty Dong and Fatty Girl, standing to the side, were stunned and puzzled.
Is there something special about Tangjia Village?
The two exchanged a glance and decided that they should try to maintain a good relationship with the Tang family in the future!
With that in mind, they decided they absolutely had to get their hands on the recipe for the red shrimp meat.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later!"
Fu Lin has already had the Wu family investigated; they probably won't be able to cause trouble for much longer.
The owner of a small pork shop dared to monopolize pork in An County, and he had long coveted it.
Pork is a vital commodity, and ordinary people can't afford beef or mutton, so they can only afford pork, which has a strong odor. Even so, pork in An County is 30% more expensive than outside.
