Of course, Xiao Man didn't want the official to take the Zhang family and his wife to prison at all, it was a very easy thing to solve, but Brother Zhang had to make the matter go to this point, and she had no choice but to go to the official.

Now that Brother Zhang has promised to return the furniture, there is no need to trouble the officials.

Xiao Man personally sent the official messenger away, while Lu Li sighed, sat on the stone bench, changed his previous attitude, and asked, "You are so old, how did you move those furniture?" ”

"When we were building the house, we passed by your house and pulled it along the way with a board cart." Brother Zhang was stunned and said, "If you just had... I just spoke well, and I won't... I won't make such a big deal out of it, but now it's okay, and the whole village knows how unreasonable you are. ”

After saying this, Brother Zhang hurriedly added: "I didn't mean to complain about you, I just think you are too young to do things." ”

Immediately afterwards, this eldest brother Zhang began to preach for a long time, and every sentence was openly and secretly accusing Lu Li and Xiaoman of being too radical, which would not only make the people in the village look down on them, but also make Su Qi unable to be a person in the village.

The sympathy in Lu Xuan's mind instantly dissipated without a trace, and he got up with a cold face, "Hurry up and move the furniture back." ”

"Hey, we're so old, and you're still letting us move furniture? How can you bear it? As soon as the official left, the attitude of this eldest brother became not a star, he sat on the stone bench, frowning, so he was embarrassed: "My wife and I are older than your father-in-law, can you bear to let us move such heavy furniture back?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang tugged at Brother Zhang's sleeve and wanted him to say a few words, but Brother Zhang was willing to listen, no matter how dissuaded by the people around him, he was a little unforgiving.

Lu Li frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when he happened to meet Xiao Man, who came back from horseback, and said from afar: "The officials are all drinking tea at my house, if Uncle Zhang repents, I can go and ask again." ”

As soon as these words came out, Brother Zhang lowered his face, and the smugness of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared, and he said stupidly: "I'll return the furniture immediately." ”

At that time, the people outside the Zhang family's courtyard had already dissipated, and Xiao Man, Lu Li, and Su Qi went back to the cabin together. Along the way, Su Qi couldn't stop sighing, but he didn't speak, he walked forward, and his back revealed a little sadness.

The husband and wife walked behind, Lu Li led the horse, he turned sideways to look at Xiao Man, and happened to collide with each other's sight.

He lowered his voice, "Father-in-law—"

"Don't worry, I'll persuade him when I go back later." Xiao Man knew that he intercepted Lu Li's words, full of confidence.

As soon as this incident came out, absolutely no one in Bishui Village dared to bully Su Qi anymore, but if it was really as Brother Zhang said, the whole village looked down on Su Qi, so what could it be? This matter was originally done wrong by Brother Zhang and others, so what qualifications do they have to look down on others?

Take 10,000 steps back, if Bishui Village really starts a fire and looks down on Su Qi, then Xiaoman will directly buy a house for Su Qi in Taoyuan County, and add a few more subordinates, so that he can enjoy Qingfu comfortably in Taoyuan County.

If not, she can also let Su Qi go to Beijing to live, anyway, her house is empty.

There is always a solution to things, and they are not wrong, so why should they be secretly depressed?

Just as they were thinking, the three of them returned to the cabin.

Su Qi walked in the front, and he was also the first to see the changes in the cabin, he looked at the re-fenced fence wall and the small wooden door that reappeared, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are all these things back?" ”

"It's not all because of the merits of those officials." Xiao Man continued: "If I don't ask these officials to come and scare them, the devil knows if they will take the initiative to return these things." ”

As he spoke, Lu Li took the horse aside and tied it up, "It's good if we can return it, otherwise if they don't obey, then we really don't know what to do." ”

As soon as he talked about this, Su Qideng's face changed again, he snorted coldly, and turned his back on his hand, "I don't know what to do?" I think you know what to do! ”

"Dad, what do you say?" Xiaoman deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Su Qi sat on the stone bench, slapped his palm on the stone table, and looked furious, "What did you do with the official just now?" Think you're a duchess of the country, and if you're amazing, you can arrest people casually? Su Xiaoman, you really disappointed me! ”

My father had never said such heavy words, and Xiaoman was stunned for a while, standing in place at a loss.

"Father-in-law, things are not what you think." Lu Li came forward to play a round, he blocked Xiao Man behind him, and said in a deep voice: "The furniture was stolen by them, Xiao Man and I just want to get back what belongs to us, but they don't obey, so we can only use some small means, otherwise-"

"Or what?" Su Qi stood up suddenly, his face turned red, he pointed to Lu Li and Xiaoman, and his voice trembled a little with anger: "You spoiled this girl!" Let her not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! It's all from a village, as for doing things so desperately? ”

After speaking, Su Qi flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Lu Li turned around and was about to chase after him, but he found that Xiao Man standing behind him was already in tears, looking at the other party's silent tears, his heart twitched, and he suddenly panicked.

"Xiaoman, you ......"

Lu Li didn't know how to coax or persuade for a while, so he could only lean over and wipe the tears of the other party vigorously, but the more this happened, the more fierce Xiaoman cried, and after a while, his nose turned red.

The tip of his nose sweated anxiously, wiped away the tears on the other party's cheeks over and over again, and tried his best to be soft and soft: "Xiaoman, don't cry, okay?" The words that my father-in-law said were all unintentional, they were all words that he was angry about, you must not take it seriously, don't cry, okay? ”

"But he can't say that about me." Xiaoman's nose twitched when he spoke, tears were still falling, and his crying voice became more and more distressing: "I didn't say anything, he thought I was wrong, how could there be a father like him, why can't you listen to my explanation?" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man remembered the past again. Thinking that his father continued to do the chord at a young age and gave birth to another child, he did all the dirty work at home, although his father did not specify to do these things by himself, but every time Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling bullied him, he just said a few words without pain.

Those bad memories came flooding and occupied Xiaoman's mind, she bit her lower lip and kept crying, feeling very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly took the person into his arms, and coaxed him softly for a long time, and finally coaxed the person not to cry, before he said: "My father-in-law is old, and his heart is like a child, plus the words he said before leaving, I guess he may have felt embarrassed, so he said that, don't take it to heart." ”

"But when we went to ask for our things back, the other party insisted on not giving them, what is there to embarrass him?" Xiao Man never figured this out, she leaned on Lu Li, her eyes were red, and she was slightly hoarse because of her crying voice: "Uncle Zhang also heard what he said just now, why are we wrong?" I used the official mission to scare them so that I could solve the matter as soon as possible, what did I do wrong? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man's nose was sour, and he almost wanted to cry again.

Withholding it everywhere, in exchange for their more and more presumptuousness.

Lu Li patted Xiaoman's shoulder and comforted in a low voice: "I know, I know." Xiaoman, shall we go to the house? Rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning, I'll go to my father-in-law's house and explain this matter to him, okay? ”

Xiao Man sniffled and looked up at the man, his eyes red like a rabbit, "What if he doesn't forgive me?" ”

"Then I'll go every day, say every day, until he forgives you, and then we'll leave, okay? You are a father and daughter, and he will surely understand your difficulties. ”

"That's fine."

There is no other way at the moment, seeing that it is getting late, Xiaoman can only agree to Lu Li's method.

Although Lu Li asked her to rest first, Xiao Man was willing to sit there and watch the man busy in and out, so the two of them opened the doors and windows and cleaned up the house together.

At the end, Lu left to inspect the fence wall and wooden door outside, Xiaoman took the mountain spring water and boiled it, made tea and waited for him in the house.

There was still half a candle in the room, Xiao Man took out the fire fold and lit it, with this faint candlelight, she sat on the chair and looked at everything familiar around her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally back.

But......

Thinking of everything that happened during the day, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable again, could she really have changed?

If this matter had been put before, when she was just an ordinary little peasant woman, how would she solve it?

At that time, she didn't know how to ride a horse, and she didn't have such a valuable status, even if she went to the yamen, those officials would not follow her back, just to scare and scare the villagers who stole and didn't give them. Thinking of this, Xiaoman wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes and tightened his brows, has he really changed?

"What do you think, so distracted." Lu Li came back from outside and closed the door tightly.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Man hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and forced out a smile, "It's nothing, is the fence wall outside okay?" You won't break into our house in the middle of the night with a wild boar, right? ”

Even though she deliberately disguised her tone very relaxed, Lu Li could still see at a glance that her red eyes were still glowing with tears, and she must have cried again just now.

The man sighed softly, "Xiaoman, you didn't do anything wrong today, so don't be so sad, okay?" ”

"I don't know, Lu Li." Xiao Man cried uncontrollably again, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, uncomfortable with Su Qi's words, and uncomfortable with her confusion about her own cognition.
