Zhu Lin spoke slowly and weakly. When she finally finished speaking, she looked so sick that she looked like she could collapse at any time. Wang Gui was really afraid that she would die there.
He took a step back and said, "Sister-in-law, you need evidence to speak. You keep saying she's a monster and that she has witchcraft. Have you ever seen it with your own eyes? Or are you a Taoist nun who exorcises demons and knows how to tell fortunes?"
Zhu Lin coughed violently again. Zhu Xiaoxue stepped forward to support her and said softly, "Mom, you're not feeling well. Can we go back and rest?"
"Even if I die, I will drag this witch down with me!" Zhu Lin pushed Zhu Xiaoxue away and coughed even more violently.
Fang Chunhua grabbed Zhu Xiaoxue and said angrily, "Little sister, why are you still sticking your elbow outward? Mom loves you the most. Look how mad you've made her!"
"Su Liuer is a witch. If she doesn't die, we will be the ones to die. She hates our whole family so much!" Zhu Xiaoyu also pulled Zhu Xiaoxue and said it with such confidence as if it were true.
Zhu Xiaoxue couldn't break free and could only look to Wang Gui for help.
"Xiaoxue is right. Sister-in-law, you are not in good health, so why bother to make trouble with them? Those who commit murder and arson will go to jail. Do you want to send your whole family to jail?" Wang Gui persuaded in a softer tone.
But Zhu Lin didn't listen at all. She snorted coldly: "We are not killing people or setting fires, we are enforcing justice! Su Liu'er is a demon, not a human. So what if she is burned to death!"
Then she said to the people behind her, "When Su Liu'er comes back, we'll give her a chance to tell us the source of the ice. If she can tell us, we'll just think we misunderstood her. If she can't, then she's a monster!"
"Right! Let her speak! If she can't, she's a monster!"
If Su Liu'er wasn't a monster, then she had a way to conjure up ice cubes. If they learned that, wouldn't they all be rich?!
Wang Gui saw the greed in these people's eyes. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He had never been so speechless since he became the head of the village. He knew that he had no way to change these people.
So she asked her son to rush to the town. Su Liuer was about to come back at this time, so she asked him to inform her.
Su Liuer met Wang Gui's son on the way.
"Su, Madam Su! I finally met you. My father told you not to go back to the village. There is a group of people in the village who want to burn you to death!" Wang Gui's son is also a honest man. Wang Gui asked him to run to find Su Liuer and he really ran all the way here.
He was gasping for breath when he spoke now.
"Have a drink of water first, come up and sit down for a while, then tell me everything in detail." Su Liuer said calmly. Want to burn her to death? This is quite new.
Wang Gui's son took the bowl of water handed to him by Mrs. Wang and took a big sip to calm his breathing. Then he told Su Liuer about everything that happened in the village.
Su Liuer was not afraid at all, but listened with great interest.
After Wang Gui's son finished speaking, she nodded and said to the old donkey, "Hurry, go back to the village."
"Madam Su, aren't you going to run away?" Wang Gui's son looked surprised and puzzled. She was about to be burned to death, so why was she rushing back to be burned?
Su Liuer smiled at Wang Gui's son, shrugged, and said, "Even if I'm burned to death, I have to go back to eat. I've been busy all afternoon and I'm hungry."
Su Liuer suddenly stopped and said, "Yes, eating. How could she forget about it?"
Zhu Yunxi asked her out for dinner today!
