Jiang Zhishan glanced at the village chief, then at Jiang Ling, who was in a hurry and didn't notice Jiang Zhishan's little gesture.
Seeing that Jiang Zhishan was silent, Jiang Ling became even more anxious and asked again, "What happened?"
Jiang Zhishan glanced at the village chief somewhat embarrassedly, then at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling was in a hurry and didn't notice Jiang Zhishan's little gesture.
Seeing that Jiang Zhishan was silent, Jiang Ling became even more anxious and asked again, "What happened?"
"Go! Hurry up and go!" Jiang Zhishan hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Jiang Ling's wrist and ran towards their home.
Several children and the village chief followed closely behind.
At Jiang Ling's house, Shen Congxin was trembling all over and cowering inside, while Lu Youren was lying on the ground not far away, foaming at the mouth and convulsing. Jiang Ling glanced at Lu Youren and then at Shen Congxin, and she seemed to understand what was going on.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Ling didn't care about Lu Youren's deadbeat state and went straight to Shen Congxin's side to ask.
Shen Congxin was probably terrified. When she saw Jiang Ling appear, she burst into tears and threw herself into Jiang Ling's arms.
"Auntie, I...I..." Jiang Ling looked at Shen Congxin, who was like a kitten, and then at Lu Youren, who was still foaming at the mouth on the ground, and she was furious.
Jiang Ling carefully inspected Shen Congxin's clothes. Thankfully, there was no damage.
"Zhishan! Tie him up!" Jiang Ling's tone was icy, and her expression was frighteningly serious.
Jiang Ling originally wanted to entrust this matter to Jiang Yaojie, but this guy in front of her was, after all, Jiang Yaojie's "father" without blood ties. If he were to tie up Lu Youren with a rope, the villagers would probably gossip about him.
The village chief also arrived at Jiang Ling's house. Seeing Shen Congxin and Lu Youren trembling, the village chief understood a bit more!
"You beast!" The village chief kicked Lu Youren hard in the buttocks and shouted.
Lu Youren seemed oblivious and continued convulsing.
"Auntie, will he die? I... I just hit him with this thing!" Shen Congxin asked softly as her emotions gradually calmed down.
Jiang Ling glanced at the electric motor ring hanging around Shen Congxin's neck and felt a wave of fear wash over her. Back then, Jiang Ling was worried that the Shen family would come back from Yecheng to arrest her, so she gave Shen Congxin an electric motor ring that very night. The power generated by this thing could instantly stun an adult, but it wouldn't kill them.
"Don't worry, that beast won't die!" Jiang Ling said through gritted teeth.
"Take it away! The Lu family ancestral hall!" The village chief spat at Lu Youren several times in a fit of rage.
In the Lu family ancestral hall, Shen Congxin stood trembling behind Jiang Ling, while the people around him whispered among themselves.
When Old Lady Lu saw her son tied up like a dumpling, she immediately rushed over. She wanted to throw a tantrum at Jiang Ling, but the village chief's almost gloomy face and angry eyes stopped her.
She could only stand beside her son, looking anxiously at Lu Youren, who had not yet regained consciousness.
"Goushengzi, go fetch a basin of water!" the village chief said to his grandson.
Although Lu Gousheng didn't know what his grandfather was going to do, he didn't say anything when he saw his grandfather's unpredictable face. He quickly brought over a full basin of water.
With a "whoosh," all the water was poured over Lu Youren. Lu Youren jolted awake and struggled to sit up, but the ropes binding him were too tight, and he could only wriggle on the ground like a maggot in a cesspool.
"Why are you tying me up?" Lu Youren asked the village chief in front of him.
"Pah! You dog, how dare you ask why you're tied up?" The village chief was furious at Lu Youren's question and spat out a mouthful of anger.
Lu Youren narrowed his eyes and quickly sized up everyone in front of him. When he saw Jiang Ling, he suddenly sneered, "You bitch, was it you! Spreading rumors in front of the village chief, or whispering sweet nothings in his ear in the middle of the night!"
"Lu Youren, if you dare to utter another word of nonsense, I'll have someone cut it off!" The village chief, who was over fifty years old and deeply in love with his wife, became even angrier after Lu Youren's words.
Having offended the village chief, Lu Youren dared not continue speaking. His lewd gaze suddenly fell on Shen Congxin behind Jiang Ling. At this moment, he suddenly chuckled, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, like the quacking of dozens of ducks, which made people feel annoyed.
"You bastard, what are you laughing at!" The village chief kicked Lu Youren in the butt.
Despite being over fifty years old, the village chief was quite strong. Lu Youren kicked him so hard that he rolled two or three times before stopping.
Lu Youren wasn't angry this time, but continued to let his dirty gaze wander over Shen Congxin, clicking his tongue and saying, "Shen Congxin, you're so shameless! It's just that the money wasn't agreed upon afterwards! Why are you making such a fuss? Didn't I promise that I would definitely take responsibility? Although my family is poor, we're not starving. You can definitely be my concubine!"
Upon hearing Lu Youren's words, Shen Congxin felt utterly ashamed. She clutched her clothes tightly, trembling all over, and sobbed, "Auntie, I didn't... I didn't... I..."
She had never been falsely accused like this before, especially not in such a way that would ruin her reputation. She felt as if she had been struck on the head, her head was spinning, and in her anxiety and anger, she rolled her eyes and fell heavily to the ground, injuring her forehead.
"From the heart!"
"Miss Chen!"
Jiang Yaojie rushed over and was about to hug Shen Congxin when Jiang Ling slapped his hand hard. Since ancient times, men and women have not been allowed to touch each other. If he hugged her like that, Shen Congxin's innocence would be completely ruined. Jiang Ling glanced at Lightning Girl beside her and said anxiously, "Lightning Girl, please take Congxin back and ask a doctor to come and take a look. Here is two taels of silver, and the rest can be considered a tip!"
