Zheng Hui ordered the officers to tie up Liu Zhong and take him away.
Liu Zhong came back to his senses from the shock and struggled and howled desperately.
"Shut his mouth!" Zheng Hui was too lazy to listen anymore.
The originally quiet crowd suddenly exploded.
A fisherman said, "I just said I saw this man dragging that beggar into the water, and you said I was talking nonsense!"
Clan leader Liu looked at Liu Zhong in disbelief. He had just been defending the kid, but it turned out that he had been a pawn in this drama the entire time, being played around by him!
Wu could no longer control her emotions. This beast could actually do such a thing to harm her daughter. She walked up to Liu Zhong and started punching and kicking him until he was pulled away by the yamen runners.
At this time, Liu Zhong's brain was in a state of shutdown. He still wanted to defend himself, but his mouth was blocked and he could only make a whimpering sound.
Zheng Hui patted Li Yan's shoulder and said, "My trip was not in vain. I have done a job for my father!" After that, she waved her hand and led her people to the town.
Li Yan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much today. I've been busy at home and can't invite you home for a gathering. I will definitely come to thank you another day!"
Zheng Hui didn't bother to be polite with her: "You'd better tell me the story you promised me!" After that, she left on the boat without looking back.
The farce finally came to an end after Zheng Hui left.
Mrs. Wu hurried to her daughter's side and hugged her tightly: "My daughter, I'm late and I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
Li Xiaomei fell into her mother's arms and burst into tears. She thought she would never see her mother again.
"It's all over, it's all over!" Mrs. Wu patted her daughter's back and comforted her softly.
Clan leader Liu felt humiliated and used as a pawn. He bowed to Mr. Li guiltily and hurried home.
At this time, only the Li family and the Zhou family were left at the dock.
Li Erlang stepped forward to thank Zhou Dazhuang: "Thank you for saving my sister today. You saved her and also saved our family!" After saying that, he bowed.
Zhou Dazhuang quickly dodged. He was not good at speaking, so he just waved his hand and said, "No, no!"
After Li Xiaomei calmed down, Wu helped her daughter get off the boat, and the group walked home.
Thanks to Yong'er's help, Li Erlang and his family were able to reach their younger sister in time. Old Man Li decided to take the child home first and make other arrangements later.
Dayong's eyes were red with excitement because of this invitation. He had no intention of repaying the favor, but the recognition from others made him feel extremely happy and satisfied.
Because of her sprained ankle, Li Xiaomei was unable to move around easily. Li Dalang simply squatted down, patted his back and said, "Come on up, sister. I'll carry you home!"
Li Xiaomei lay on her brother's broad back just like when she was a child, feeling warm and secure. At this moment, her heart finally settled.
Li Dalang carried his younger sister into the room and settled her down.
Mrs. Wu asked Mrs. Liu to prepare some hot water so that her daughter could wash herself properly.
After fetching some water, the aunt-in-law came out and asked her husband curiously, "What happened? How come my little sister is soaking wet and you're carrying her back?"
Li Dalang was afraid that his wife would not see it, so he went up to his younger sister and asked her all sorts of questions, and then told Liu what had happened today.
After hearing this, Liu was horrified and shouted, "Then kill Liu Zhongzhen..." Before she finished speaking, Li Dalang covered her mouth with his hand!
Li Dalang scolded, "I told you to keep your voice down, but you're trying to make me sad, aren't you?"
Liu nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
This scholar is so cruel. He usually does nothing, but he actually dares to kill people!
