The sun is setting, and it's time to cook. Lu Erniang carried a basket of wild vegetables and returned to the village. Although her grass shoes were no longer visible, and her long skirt was covered with weeds and dirt, she had a brisk face. Looking at the smoke coming from the chimneys of the houses in the village, as well as the villagers walking back from the fields, Lu Erniang liked this peaceful life more and more.

After Li Heli, Lu Erniang took Lu Hong back to Qianzhou's brother and sister-in-law. Although she has the help of her brother and sister-in-law, Lu Erniang helps in the wine shop without worrying about food or clothing, but the more she feels, her heart can't calm down. In the end, by a small mistake, she left the winery and lived in a small courtyard in the east of the city, raising Lu Hong alone.

Although Lu Tai and Feng Sanniang are very busy in the wine shop, they only visit during the festival during the year, but Lu Erniang is still very grateful to her brother and sister-in-law. Because Lu Xiang'er's mother never looked down on her, her sister, and privately gave her money to give her new clothes, or find her some small work, so as not to let her think idly.

Lu Erniang, who thought that she would live like this, did not expect that on that dark night, Mr. Xixi, the niece of Lu Xianger, would suddenly come to the door and tell her the shocking news. However, fortunately, the three of them escaped and could continue to live. For Lu Xiang'er, Lu Erniang secretly swore that she was her own daughter. She won't let Lu Xiang'er be wronged a little.

"Second lady, why are you here?"

"Yes, I'll go to the river to pick some wild vegetables and give my fragrant cabbage buns to eat."

"Oh, my second lady, your brother Hong beat Zhang Xiaobao. That sister-in-law Zhang took a group of people to your house. ”

"What?"

As soon as she walked to the entrance of the village, she heard the old woman at the entrance of the village say this, Lu Erniang suddenly became anxious and hurriedly ran home. That sister-in-law, Lu Erniang has met a few times, but she can see that that person is not easy to get along with. After that, Lu Erniang knew from the Zhao family next door that the sister-in-law Zhang was really a shrew who loved to chew the root of her tongue.

Lu Erniang was not afraid of her, but she was afraid that Lu Xianger would be scared by her. You must know that Lu Xianger is only five years old, she has just experienced the pain of losing her parents, and she has nightmares all day long, she must be frightened. In case of any illness, Lu Erniang doesn't know how to face Lu Tai and Feng Sanniang a hundred years later.

Soon Lu Erniang saw the yard of her own house, and also saw the people on the periphery of the yard. Of course, Lu Erniang also saw a woman in a linen skirt, pinching her waist with one hand and pointing at her pair of children with the other to 'scold' something. Lu Hong, whose clothes were a little messy, protected Lu Xiang'er behind him, arguing with an angry face.

Before fleeing, Lu Erniang was also a very cool and strong person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bear that breath at the beginning, took the initiative to separate from that person, and left that house with Lu Hong. Although she was very kind when she was in Qianzhou, all this was based on her relatives not being bullied.

Seeing all this at this time, Lu Erniang's heart was full of anger, which can be imagined. Lu Erniang, who was furious in her heart, but her face became more and more calm, quickly squeezed into the crowd, regardless of the wild vegetables being knocked and scattered. Hearing Sister-in-law Zhang's sour words, she walked directly in front of Sister-in-law Zhang, raised her hand and waved over.

With that loud voice, the noisy sounds around the Lu family stopped abruptly. So everyone looked at Lu Erniang in horror, these people are all from the village, how can they not know that Sister-in-law Zhang is so arrogant, it is all because her mother's brother is doing fast hunting in the county.

Ordinary people have a natural fear of people in the government, so it also fuels Sister-in-law Zhang's arrogance. Unreasonable can also distinguish three points of reason, and being reasonable is even more unforgiving. For something like today, in the hearts of the villagers, Sister-in-law Zhang will definitely take something from the Lu family as compensation, and then go home with her head held high. But no one thought that the new Lu Erniang who had entered the village was so strong that she dared to shake her sister-in-law's mouth. Didn't Lu Erniang hear about Sister-in-law Zhang's maiden brothers?

Maybe Lu Erniang is new to Qinghe Village, but she really doesn't know. In fact, it wasn't just the villagers who watched the excitement think so, but even Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned. Her son, Zhang Xiaobao, turned pale and kept retreating. Feeling her son's hand pulling back, Sister-in-law Zhang reacted that she had been beaten.

How could Sister-in-law Zhang, who had never suffered a loss, give up, pointed at Lu Erniang and opened her mouth and said, "You little ......"

'Smack-' Sister-in-law Zhang's scolding words had not yet come out, and Lu Erniang slapped her backhand again. After the fight, Lu Erniang shook her hand and said calmly: "I'm the last person who can't listen to those nonsense words. Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm not joking. ”

"You, you...... Let me tell you, my mother's brother is a fast catcher in the county government. If you dare to beat me, aren't you afraid of being caught in prison? Sister-in-law Zhang covered her face with one hand and pointed at Lu Erniang with the other, just as she wanted to say something, she saw Lu Erniang's eyes sweep, and suddenly the swear words in her mouth became unable to say it anymore. However, when she thought of her brother, she immediately became angry again.

Lu Xiang'er, who was hiding behind Lu Hong, sighed secretly in a low voice, this sister-in-law Zhang may have relied on her brother to run rampant in Qinghe Village. But it's a pity that she wanted to use this to suppress the Lu family today, but she miscalculated. In the Lu family, from Lu Erniang to Lu Xiang'er, I saw a lot of big people when I was in Qianzhou. How can you be afraid of a small catch, not to mention that the Great Zhou Dynasty acted with strict laws. If any official is found to be favoritism, it is not as simple as losing office.

Hearing this, Lu Hong also had the same thoughts as Lu Xiang'er, and snorted disdainfully again. But Lu Erniang sneered: "Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm very strange, when did this county government become your Zhang family, and you have to arrest whoever you want." I don't know, Feng Zhixian knows what he thinks. ”

"You...... Don't deceive people too much. Listening to Lu Erniang's words, Sister-in-law Zhang's face turned a little white. No matter how arrogant she is, she is also an ordinary woman, and she is also a little afraid of what Lu Erniang said.

Pulling Zhang Xiaobao over, Sister-in-law Zhang pointed to the injury on his face and said, "Second Lady Lu, look at how your son beat my brother." My brother Bao has never suffered such a big grievance since he was a child. If Lu Erniang doesn't give me an explanation, I will ask the village to be reasonable. ”

Lu Erniang was stunned, then turned around and looked at Lu Hong with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hong, didn't A-Niang tell you that you can't be brave and ruthless in dealing with people, but do you remember?" ”

Seeing Lu Erniang's face without a trace of expression, Lu Hong knew that she was really angry. Therefore, he knelt in front of Lu Erniang without thinking about it, lowered his head and said: "Ah Niang, my son never dared to forget Ah Niang's teachings, today it was Er's hand that moved first, it was Er's fault, please punish Ah Niang." ”

Lu Hong's performance made Sister-in-law Zhang immediately proud again, and Zhang Xiaobao grinned even more, but immediately convulsed cold air because of the injury at the corner of her mouth. Immediately, he looked at Lu Hong's eyes, full of hatred. And a few knowledgeable villagers in the crowd kept nodding when they saw Lu Hong like this.

Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Hong didn't defend herself at all, and she was very puzzled. Seeing Lu Erniang turn around and pick up a rattan, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, hugged Lu Erniang and said urgently: "A-Niang, you can't beat my brother." It was that Zhang Xiaobao who kept saying that I was a fool, and my brother couldn't help beating him again. If you want to blame Xiang'er, blame Xiang'er, and if you want to beat Xiang'er, let's fight Xiang'er......"

As she spoke, Lu Xiang'er quickly recounted what had just happened word for word. In the end, Lu Xiang'er wanted to be beaten in order to retaliate against Sister-in-law Zhang's harm to Lu Hong, so she deliberately cried and said: "Auntie, Xiang'er went to apologize to Zhang Xiaobao, or let him fight back." Don't beat your brother, your brother is a good brother. ”

Lu Erniang obviously didn't expect so many things to happen here, looking at Lu Xiang'er with tears on her face, her hand fell to the ground as soon as she loosened the rattan, and Lu Erniang's tears also fell. And those villagers who didn't know what was going on suddenly realized at this time. Is there anything I don't understand at this time, it was Sister-in-law Zhang who was talking behind her back, and let Zhang Xiaobao listen to it, which led to so many things.

This Lu Xiang'er is so young and so cute, she will be a fool when she looks like she speaks. But Sister-in-law Zhang still did that, it was too much. Then everyone's eyes looked at Sister-in-law Zhang's mother and son, and the contempt in their eyes was self-evident.

Sister-in-law Zhang obviously couldn't stand the gaze of so many people, and said stiffly: "If you say a few words, you will beat people, and you will be reasonable......

"Tell you, if Zhang Xiaobao dares to say this about my sister, I will be beaten to death by my aunt, and I will see him beat him once." Lu Hong listened to Lu Xiang'er's maintenance of himself, and the love of his brother for his sister deepened a lot. Seeing that Sister-in-law Zhang was still so hard-mouthed, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaobao fiercely. Frightened, he stepped back again and sat on the ground in fright.

Sister-in-law Zhang didn't expect that the people of the Lu family were so strong, but Lu Hong, who was young, dared to say so under the watchful eyes of the villagers. Thinking that he is also an adult, he can't take care of a child. Sister-in-law Zhang took a few steps forward and raised her arm, wanting to take revenge on Lu Hong for what Lu Erniang did to her.
