Chapter 179 Dongguo and the Wolf
The two criminals who had escaped the net were caught. Shuang He was very happy when he learned about this. His face became redder and he kept saying, "May the gods bless us, may the gods bless us."
Yu Sanbao was also very happy.
Although he was not afraid, there were many children in his family. If he was not careful, the bad guys would hurt the children at home... This was the most worrying thing.
Now that the two criminals have fallen into the hands of the government, my children are safe. How wonderful!
"By the way, what about Yang Xiangdie?" When Yang Xiangdie was mentioned, Yu Sanbao's face did not look good.
After all, he was the one I saved...
Liu Ge'er didn't want to talk about her any more, and only said briefly: "I heard that she also escaped from that mountain stronghold, so she has to be detained and interrogated for the time being."
Yu Sanbao nodded, asked no more questions, and let Liu Ge'er go to rest.
He planned to go back and have a drink with Captain Xie Er and ask about the situation.
Ah Wu saw Xing Xing sitting at the table, practicing calligraphy with her wrists hanging like a little adult. His eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "Xing Xing is great!"
Xingxing smiled at Awu shyly.
Ah Wu was relieved to see that Xing Xing was fine. She smiled and made an appointment with Xing Xing to come and play with her in a few days. Then she was about to leave: "...Xing Xing, you should practice calligraphy well. It's late now. I'll go back first."
Moliu breathed a sigh of relief.
My little girl is sensible and knows it’s so late and it’s not good to disturb her.
As a result, just as she finished her sigh, she saw her young lady turned around, looked at Yu Siyang who had been following them with bright eyes, and called out softly: "Siyang~"
Yu Siyang's ears turned red. "Are you going back? It's too late. It's not safe. I'll take you there."
Moliu thought, what's unsafe about it? Are those two guards outside her house just for a living?
Weren't those two bad guys subdued by her two guards?
However, seeing her young lady's obviously happy expression, Moliu's eyes softened and she said nothing. She even lagged behind a few steps when she went back, keeping a distance from her and the two guards.
…
Yang Xiangdie was released three days later.
After the government found out that she was just an ordinary citizen who was captured in the mountain village and had not colluded with the bandits to commit murder and arson, they released her.
As for the two criminals who escaped the net, they naturally became the performance of the Mapo County government and were placed under strict surveillance by the county order.
Captain Xie Er also revealed to Yu Sanbao that the current county magistrate has a very good impression of the Yu family and feels that they are truly good citizens who obey the law and work hard for the officials.
Yu Sanbao laughed a little. This was all secondary. As long as the Yu family was safe, that was enough.
After Yang Xiangdie was released, she came to Yu's shop.
That day, Mrs. Wei also came to the county town, and Shuanghe could barely drink a few sips of water from the bowl.
Yu Sanbao looked at Yang Xiangdie unfriendly, but Yang Xiangdie cried and begged him, saying that she wanted to see Shuanghe. Yu Sanbao thought about it and decided to take Yang Xiangdie to see Shuanghe.
Shuang He was also surprised when she saw Yang Xiangdie.
Yang Xiangdie had been recuperating in the Yu family before, and she had not suffered any injustice at all. Although the clothes she wore were Shuang He's old clothes, they were much better than her previous tattered clothes.
As for food, we were well fed every day and often had meat.
During the few days that Yang Xiangdie stayed at Yu's house, her cheeks quickly swelled up from hunger.
But after Yang Xiangdie spent three days in jail, she seemed to have returned to being the disheveled, dirty woman she once was.
But this time, no one will have any sympathy for her anymore.
So is Shuanghe.
She was just a little surprised.
Yang Xiangdie's eyes were filled with tears, and she knelt down in front of Shuang He as soon as she came up: "...Shuang He, I know I'm sorry for you, and you have the right to blame me. But I was really too scared at the time..."
Shuang He stretched out his hand with some difficulty and made a stopping gesture: "Don't say anything more. I was also scared at that time, but I would not push you to block the knife."
Yang Xiangdie cried and tried to explain: "...No, it was an accident..."
Mrs. Wei couldn't help it and spat, "Accident? Accident! Since you came to our house, Shuang He has been treating you wholeheartedly. She lets you sleep on her bed, makes her own floor mat, and gives you clothes to wear. She takes you with her wherever she goes, fearing that you might feel uncomfortable. What about you? How did you treat her? When someone came to hunt you down, you actually pushed Shuang He into the trap. You have such a cruel heart! You ungrateful bastard, you still have the nerve to tell Shuang He, "It was an accident?"
Yang Xiangdie cried even harder: "Old Madam, I really didn't mean it... I was just too scared. When I was in the village, they took turns bullying me and beat me whenever they didn't like me... I was really scared of that kind of life..."
She described in a miserable manner to Mrs. Wei Shuanghe what she had experienced in the mountain village.
She had mentioned these things to Mrs. Wei and Shuanghe before. At that time, both Mrs. Wei and Shuanghe were very distressed and did not ask any more questions for fear of touching Yang Xiangdie's sorrow.
However, now, even when Yang Xiangdie cried and talked about her previous tragic experience, Wei Pozi and Shuanghe remained unmoved.
She is pitiful, but can she take advantage of her own pity to trample on other people's trust in her and hurt others at will?
"Are you finished?" Shuang He interrupted Yang Xiangdie unmoved.
There were still tears in Yang Xiangdie's eyes and her face was full of disbelief.
It seemed as if she couldn't believe that Shuang He, the kindest and most gentle person, could be so cold and hard.
"Double Lotus..."
"Don't call me." Shuang He said coldly, "I won't even talk about myself. Your life was saved by the old lady and the third master. How can you repay kindness with hatred!"
"I didn't..." Yang Xiangdie denied it flatly, even a little angry out of shame, "I said it was just an accident, how can I repay kindness with enmity..."
"I'm not talking about the time you pushed me." Shuang He looked at Yang Xiangdie with some disgust. "I heard from the Third Young Master that he ran into you when he went to report to the police. Isn't the direction you came from the Yu family's store?... Yang Xiangdie, Yang Xiangdie, the old lady and the Third Young Master saved your life, and gave you food and clothes. How could you bring a bad guy to the Yu family?!"
Shuang He became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She recalled a story that the young masters had taught Miss Xing Xing a few days ago, and she blurted out, "You are Dong Guo and the Wolf!"
Yang Xiangdie looked extremely unhappy after being scolded by Shuang He.
Mrs. Wei persuaded Shuang He: "Come on, girl, don't get too excited. Take a break and talk less. What if you get hurt?"
Shuang He was still very obedient to what Mrs. Wei said. She replied meekly, and then she closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Yang Xiangdie again for fear of getting angry.
