Su Jiaoniang looked back suspiciously, but was immediately pulled by the person next to her: "Young lady, don't go near those fierce-looking people. They are not human and have no heart."
"That's right. They said they were looking for someone, and they were comparing people with the portrait everywhere. They didn't find any fugitives, but they did take away the tofu seller from West Street. This is practically kidnapping a woman."
"Shh, keep your voice down! If you're heard, you'll have to go in too!"
People nearby whispered among themselves. Su Jiaoniang turned around and saw that the market was in a mess, with eggs and vegetable leaves scattered all over the ground. A vendor was hiding in a corner and crying quietly.
This small incident suggests that the county magistrate in this area is probably no good either.
Su Jiaoniang clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on the county magistrate as he walked home. When one is poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue. At this moment, she was not proficient in the laws of this dynasty, and if she wanted to do what a people's police officer should do, she needed to have a reason and a basis.
I returned to the bookstore and bought a copy of the Great Zhou Law.
She knew that no matter the dynasty, there would always be a group of people who were above the law, but as long as the schemes were used properly, no one could escape the long arm of the law.
I took the books home.
Su Jiaoniang unexpectedly saw Lu Dashan guarding the door.
He paused, glanced at his front door (which appeared undamaged), and then looked at Lu Dashan: "What's up?"
"Your sister-in-law was wrong about what happened with Yang Fugui, but now that the third son is gone, you can't be on your own. Fugui talked to me for a while yesterday. He said you're beautiful and have two children. Normally, a beautiful woman would think of a widow with children, but he's not short of money and wants to be with you..."
"You big frog." Thinking of Yang Fugui's green outfit, she thought that he had given up on his unrealistic ideas last time, but now he's actually involved with Lu Dashan. He deserves a beating.
“Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Are you planning to make me take the blame for Zhu’s misdeeds? Everyone in our village knows that Zhu and Yang Fugui have an improper relationship. You’re trying to get me involved with him. You’ve got a brilliant idea. Nobody is as cunning as you.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re overthinking it. Your older brother just feels that you’re having a hard time right now and wants to find you someone to rely on,” Lu Dashan said in a simple and honest manner.
However, no matter how she tried to hide it, the shrewd look in her eyes could not escape Su Jiaoniang's notice.
"Is that so? I think my sister-in-law's life isn't easy either. She gets beaten by you all the time and has to take care of your clothes and meals. Why don't you find her a man to rely on? Brother-in-law, please don't be angry, I mean well." Su Jiaoniang's words still didn't satisfy her anger.
This guy's got a screw loose; he just had to come and provoke her.
If we don't do something, people will think she's easy to bully.
Was Lu Dashan angry? He absolutely had to be angry. Whenever someone discussed Zhu Shi and Yang Fugui together, he couldn't help but let his mind wander and imagine disgusting things between Zhu Shi and Yang Fugui.
In particular, Yang Fugui had a face full of pimples, short limbs, and a protruding belly. He liked to wear green, and from a distance, he really looked like a big toad. Zhu was ugly, and he had to blow out the candles before he could even kiss her.
Comparing the two people side by side makes my stomach churn instantly.
A vicious gaze was fixed on Su Jiaoniang: "Sister-in-law, I advise you to speak properly. Your current behavior is playing with fire. Life is better without widows in this world."
Su Jiaoniang almost threw up her dinner from the night before. What was wrong with this person's brain? He started making threats.
"Go to hell with your playing with fire!" Su Jiaoniang said, kicking the burly Lu Dashan three meters away.
Push open your front door and quickly bolt it shut.
After watching the little girl playing in the mud in the yard for a long time, my eyes felt cleansed and my mood brightened. The people outside were so disgusting; there was no need to let them affect my mood.
He handed the book he was holding to the three children.
“Starting tonight, you will all learn to read.” As soon as Su Jiaoniang spoke, Gu Changsheng’s face fell.
He felt particularly uneasy when he saw that Su Jiaoniang was holding the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was clearly a citizen of Qi, so why did he have to look at the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Could it be that I'm going to become a lawyer or advisor in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Mother, do we need to learn to read?" The little girl stared at the book, reached out to touch it, and then quickly pulled her hand back.
Before they moved out of the Lu family home, their cousin Lu Daishu from their uncle's family was also studying. He treasured his books and wouldn't let them touch them.
Su Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Of course you need to learn to read. Go wash your hands, and I'll teach you to write your names."
After saying that, Xiao Futu and Xiao Ya went into the courtyard and washed their little hands until they were white and tender before returning from outside.
Su Jiaoniang glanced at Gu Changsheng, who was lounging on the bed, her eyes narrowing as she looked over his wound. The child was recovering well; he couldn't do anything too strenuous, but writing a few words to soothe him was fine.
“Together,” she said.
Gu Changsheng shook his head violently. People who start learning at the age of three naturally dislike reading and will try to be lazy whenever possible.
Su Jiaoniang chuckled and reached out to poke at Xiao Changsheng's wound. The moment she touched him, pain shot from her nerve endings to every part of her body. In an instant, sweat soaked through her simple clothes.
He looked at Su Jiaoniang with a pale face.
Su Jiaoniang asked softly, "Do you want to study?"
Gu Changsheng knew he had no choice at all.
Looking at Su Jiaoniang's face, she is beautiful and charming, captivating at first glance, but she is ruthless and cruel, truly comparable to that villain. If you put the two of them together...
Suddenly I feel like it's not quite right.
They'll beat you up together.
However, people who are both so good-looking and ruthless should be put together and let them digest each other.
After all, one was a young widow with a child after her husband's death, and the other was a treacherous minister who had lost his wife and was said to have unspeakable secrets. One received protection, and the other gave birth without pain. It was truly a perfect match.
He thought this to himself, but Gu Changsheng didn't dare to say it aloud.
He had only mentioned it briefly before, and everyone in the courtyard glared at him. If he said it again, he was afraid he would be kicked out.
Su Jiaoniang wrote Xiaoya's name on a piece of paper, held Xiaoya's hand, and wrote each stroke with measured rhythm. Then she let Xiaoya practice on her own. Xiaoya held the pen, pursed her lips, stared wide-eyed, and placed her little fist under her wrist. Following Su Jiaoniang's instructions, she dared not make a single mistake.
In her eyes, writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were extremely precious things. She was careful with her brushstrokes and dared not be distracted at all.
Next was Xiao Futu. Lu Futu was much more composed than Xiao Ya. He had learned to write in his dream, and his calligraphy was powerful and incisive. He felt that writing was not too difficult. He took the brush from Su Jiaoniang and the moment the ink touched the Xuan paper, he thought he could write calligraphy that would amaze the whole family.
However... it was a huge, dark blob, not square or straight, with handwriting so ugly that even his mother couldn't recognize it. Little Futu stared at the paper in shock.
