Chapter 23: Slap in the face on the spot
Zhang Ran usually met Liu Cripple on the road by chance, greeted him politely every time, and called him Grandpa Liu.
Sometimes during the New Year's holidays, Qin Yuzhen saw that Liu Cripple was very pitiful alone, and asked Zhang Ran to pack some snacks and snacks to send him over.
For Qin Yuzhen and Zhang Ran, the kind-hearted mother and daughter, Liu Cripple is grateful.
Since the death of his wife, he will live alone every day with cold meals and cold dishes.
Although those sons and nephews who were assigned to his fields were related to him, none of them were like Qin Yuzhen and Zhang Ran's mother and daughter, who really remembered whether his life was good or not.
Because of this, Liu Cripple can't sit back and watch Zhang Ran be slandered by such rumors.
If he knew who was chewing his tongue behind his back, he would be fighting for his life, and he would have to make that person pay a price.
What a beautiful little girl the Zhang family looks at, the people behind her who ruined her reputation are simply unconscionable!
Seeing that Liu Cripple's face was swollen and red, Gu Zhengde took a step forward and grabbed his arm, and asked kindly, "Old man, do you know what we are doing with you?" ”
"You know, it's for this reason that I let this little brother carry me over today!"
Liu lame pointed at Gu Junze behind him with his finger, afraid that Gu Zhengde would continue to blame him for this incident, this little soldier who carried him over.
Originally, Liu Cripple didn't plan to let Gu Junze carry him on his back, but Gu Junze saw that he was struggling to walk, and he was worried that Gu Zhengde and his party would wait in place for too long, so he picked up Liu Cripple and left without saying a word.
Being named by Liu Cripple, Gu Junze scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, I didn't bump you just now, and I blame me for being in a hurry to go back, and I forgot to pay attention to your old man's physical condition." ”
Gu Junze usually has a relatively calm temperament, and he can deal with urgent matters in an orderly manner.
He didn't know why, but today he suddenly became very impatient.
Especially when he saw that little girl named Zhang Ran being humiliated like that, he was even more eager to prove her innocence.
"My body is hard and strong, and this little bump can't break my old bones!"
Liu Cripple gave Gu Junze a kind smile back, and his body took a step forward to break away from Gu Zhengde's support.
Then his face suddenly sank, he straightened his back and glanced at the villagers who were looking around, and warned sharply:
"Do you think that my old immortal legs and feet are inconvenient, so I can't do anything about you people?"
Zhang Cuifen was a little weak by what he said, and couldn't help but shrink her neck.
The other villagers also bowed their heads a little weakly, although they were not the initiators of the rumors, but they were also indirect rumor spreaders.
Liu Cripple raised his crutches and walked around the crowd, "I, Liu Cripple, have not done many good things for our Xiaowan Village in my life, but I have not done any bad things that lack heart and bad character!" ”
"I'll leave it here today, it's no problem for you to arrange my old man casually, it's a big deal that I close my eyes and kick my legs, which is a matter of pouring a handful of soil!"
"But if you want to step on the top of my old man's head and say those nonsense words to destroy the reputation of the Zhang family's girl, I, Liu Cripple, will be the first to refuse!"
After shouting these few words with all his strength, Liu Cripple suddenly put down his crutches in his hand, and then began to cough violently with his back bent.
The onlookers thought he would cough like this, but he suddenly raised his black cane high again.
Then he smashed it to the ground from top to bottom, and finally stuck the black cane into the soil half an inch deep.
"While the big guys are here today, and the village party secretary and a few comrades from the army are also present, I, Liu Laohan, must make my words clear today!"
"The rumors about me and the girl of the Zhang family are completely false, who wants to talk about this matter again in the future, please trouble the village party secretary, you must uphold justice for the girl Zhang Ran!"
