Chapter 182: Warmth
Lu Li didn't plan to go out today, and finally returned home, in addition to resting, his more thoughts were to stay at home with the two children, as well as An Xiabai, who he missed, but she insisted on running out.
Although An Xiabai went to the restaurant to take Ruqing to familiarize herself with the environment, Lu Li still felt aggrieved in her heart.
After Xiaodong Xiaoxue fell asleep at home, he immediately went to the restaurant to find An Xiabai theory.
As a result, after arriving at the place, no one could find it, but saw Ruqing helping in the restaurant in a hurry.
This appearance made Lu Li want to laugh.
He called Lu Liu'er and began to ask her about Ruqing.
"Actually, she does everything very well, but she doesn't know what's going on, and she always gets nervous." Lu Liuer told Lu Li frankly, "It is probably a psychological effect, maybe after a few days, it will get better after getting used to the restaurant operation." β
When Lu Li whispered to An Xiabai in bed last night, she mentioned the matter of the restaurant, saying that the restaurant in the county town was not operating well and went out of business, for which Ruqing felt very remorseful.
It is estimated that she is now tied up, just because of the reason for her previous failure, right?
This kind of thing, probably only she can adjust her emotions by herself, and others should not be able to adjust it.
Lu Li told Lu Liu'er to take a look at Ruqing's usual movements, and then asked her about An Xiabai: "Isn't Madame helping in the restaurant?" β
If he remembers correctly, it was the busiest time for the restaurant, and An Xiabai had no reason not to be there.
"No," Lu Liu'er shook her head and said, "After my sister-in-law brought Miss Sheng to the restaurant today, she said that she had something to do and wanted to pray for her family." When she left, she clearly said that she would come back soon, but until now, I didn't see anyone, so I guess she was going home, right? β
"Impossible." Lu Li denied, "I just came out of the house." β
The two of them looked at each other, and a question arose in their hearts, where did An Xiabai go?
Before they could analyze it, someone hurried over to deliver the news.
"May I ask if you have a gentleman surnamed Lu here?"
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to look, and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of the restaurant, who looked hurried and middle-aged man, who seemed to have encountered something important, and was sweating all over his face at this time.
At that moment, the only emotion in Lu Li's heart was worry, he was afraid that something would happen to An Xiabai.
Concerned about the chaos, he jumped directly down the stairs on the second floor, and rushed to the person quickly: "I'm Lu Li, do you have something to do with me?" β
"I've found you!" The middle-aged man who came to report the news didn't wait for himself to catch his breath, so he said to Lu Li with a solemn face, "Just now a girl asked me to go to your house to report to you, saying that she had an accident in the temple and asked you to go over, I rushed over with great difficulty, but found that you were not there, so I came to this restaurant according to your family's instructionsββ"
The middle-aged man panted and said, "Go and save those two girls, if you don't hurry up, it is estimated that they will be burned to a pile of ashes by those crazy people!" β
When Lu Li heard this, he was so frightened that he almost forgot to breathe.
Without waiting for the other people in the restaurant to react, he ran away and ran directly in the direction of the temple.
When Lu Li worked hard to find An Xiabai, she was standing in the crowd, confronting the menacing villagers.
"Forget it, I'll go back with them, and you won't have to worry about my business, the wicked."
Qin Shuang'er was worried that these crazy villagers would hurt An Xiabai, so she offered to go back with them.
What she never expected was that An Xiabai would not allow it.
"I promised to save you, and I won't hand you over easily!" Although An Xiabai was in a panic, her reason was still there, she half-squatted down, picked up a branch from the ground, and tried to protect Qin Shuang'er behind her.
"If you really toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame us for being polite."
The village chief finally lost patience, and he commanded the thugs he had brought with him, asking them to rush over to fight An Xiabai and Qin Shuang'er.
Seeing that people were about to rush to him, the panicked mood made An Xiabai close her eyes tightly while protecting Qin Shuang'er.
The imaginary pain not only did not hit her, but the person who wanted to hit someone kept screaming from his mouth.
An Xiabai suspected that he had misheard, and quietly opened his eyes, and saw a familiar figure.
"Husband!" She exclaimed.
Lu Li, who was cleaning up the thugs, heard the voice and took the time to smile back at her: "It's okay, I'm here." β
An Xiabai smiled and nodded, and protected Qin Shuang'er behind him more firmly: "He is my husband, and he is also the person I told you just now, and he will definitely come to save us." β
Qin Shuang'er nodded again and again, moved to tears.
The old village chief was not in good health and couldn't stand the beating, so Lu Li didn't move him, but just beat the thugs around him several times, only to frighten him so much that his face turned pale, as if he might faint in the next second.
Lu Li looked amused, and sneered: "The arrogant appearance you had when you bullied two powerless women just now, why is it gone?" β
The village chief's heart was like ashes: "Chivalry, let us go, if we continue to fight like this, we will definitely die." β
He pleaded like this, but Lu Li still had no intention of stopping, until An Xiabai couldn't look past it, and he didn't stop until he asked him to stop: "Next time, if I see a similar situation happening, I'll let you stand and lie down." β
Xu is Lu Li's fierce appearance really scared them, and after they glanced at Qin Shuang'er viciously, they quickly ran away,
The woods were thick, and soon their figures were no longer visible.
Lu Li was relieved at this time, he rushed to An Xiabai's side with a brisk step, took An Xiabai's hand and looked left and right: "Madam, they didn't hurt you, right?" β
"I'm fine," An Xiabai shook his head with a smile, "The only scar on my body was also scratched by the grass on the road." β
Since he was not injured, Lu Li's mood was naturally a little lighter.
His gaze naturally turned to the stranger beside An Xiabai: "Who is this girl?" β
"It's not convenient to talk here, I'll explain it to you when I get back." An Xiabai said, taking a person's hand and leading the two people in the direction of the woods.
They walked through the street all the way back to Lu's house, and she finally explained: "Husband, this Qin girl is the person I met when I was praying for blessings in the temple, because I thought she was familiar, so I helped her, and those people just now were her relatives. β
An Xiabai even told Lu Li about Qin Shuang'er being framed by her brother and sister-in-law.
"Husband, you know, when I was in my hometown in the county before, my life was also very unsatisfactory." An Xiabai pretended to be pitiful, sighed and said, "I am also a child who grew up in front of my brother and sister-in-law, and now I see Miss Qin being framed like this, and I am like seeing myself in a trance, can we help her?" β
Lu Li hesitated for a moment and chose to nod: "Madam, if you want to help, we will help." β
In his eyes, all the conditions proposed by An Xiabai should be met, and Qin Shuang'er's background background does sound very pitiful, and it seems that it is impossible not to help.
After getting Lu Li's reply, An Xiabai was happy.
"Miss Qin, in the future, you will live in my house first, your case, we will definitely help you overturn the case, but it will take a little time."
Qin Shuang'er nodded gratefully.
Someone is willing to help her wash away her grievances, which is the best thing in the world for her, and time or something is secondary.
Although she didn't understand why An Xiabai insisted on helping herself, Qin Shuang'er was very grateful.
"You just live in my house, and we will take care of the rest." An Xiabai took Qin Shuang'er's hand and walked out as he spoke.
She wanted to take Qin Shuang'er to the guest room, but before she could walk to the place, she was stopped by the Zhou family halfway.
"Aunt Zhou, what's wrong?" An Xiabai suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Xiaodong Xiaoxue is crying, I don't know what's going on, I've been crying, I can't coax it no matter how I coax it, you two go over and take a look."
An Xiabai and Lu Li glanced at each other, and immediately rushed to the room where the child lived.
The two children are the flesh that fell from An Xiabai's body, although she occasionally dislikes them for being ignorant, but after all, they are her own biological children, of course she is distressed when she sees the two children crying, and even Qin Shuang'er's matter has been put aside by her for the time being.
"Mother-in-law is just going out for a walk today, why are you two crying so fiercely." An Xiabai walked to the side of the bed, half-squatted down and looked at Xiao Dong, "Don't cry, if you cry again, I'll throw you out!" β
Where could the child understand her threatening words, and still open his mouth wide and cry.
An Xiabai was at a loss, so he changed to Lu Li.
He didn't know where he hit a rattle, and put it in front of the two children, and when they cried, he struck it, and the sound was much louder than the cry.
Xiao Dong and Xiao Xue were quickly attracted by the rattle, and stared straight at the rattle.
An Xiabai was amused by their appearance, and lightly tapped his fingertips on the tip of the child's nose: "I know that I am eccentric at a young age, I only like my father, I don't like my mother, don't you?" β
Strange to say, after he said this, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xue's eyes stopped sticking to Lu Li.
They turned their heads in unison, opened their arms to An Xiabai, and shouted their mothers in a vague voice.
An Xia Bai was pleased, and hugged Xiao Dong with a smile.
Because her strength is relatively small and she can't pick up two children at the same time, Xiaoxue was picked up by Lu Li.
They laughed and teased the child in their arms, not even noticing that the door of the room was ajar, and everything inside was clearly visible to those outside.
The warm scene, like a sharp short knife, stabbed into Qin Shuang'er's chest.
When the parents were still there, their family was also happy, but now that the parents are gone, only the brothers and sisters-in-law are left at home.
Qin Shuang'er lowered her face, and tears were flowing in her eyes.
Touching the scene, in order to escape the sadness, she decided to go out of the door, but this time she walked directly to the street, and the villagers who followed her all the way found her alone!
