"That's right. After Wangshu came back, she went to pick up her brother and discussed this matter with my father. My father was so happy that he invited us to have a meal. It was getting late and it was not safe for the little girl and the child, so he asked me to take them home. If I hadn't been there, I don't know what you, a grown man, would have done."

Cang Wenyuan had the look of a gentleman, his tone was firm, and his eyes were oppressive to Lan Qinghe.

No matter what the truth is, everyone is more willing to believe what Lan Wangshu and Cang Wenyuan say, so the matter is settled.

"Second Brother Lan, do you still have any shame? Didn't you sell your daughter? If you can't sell Shu girl, then sell Zhao Zhao. Don't you think everyone knows it?"

Lan Wangshu also felt the voice was familiar, so he turned around and saw the familiar floral jacket. Wasn’t that someone he knew?

"Thank you for speaking up for me, Aunt. To be honest, my second uncle forced me to hand over the tofu recipe three days ago. I had no choice but to hide in the county. I didn't expect to be caught red-handed."

The girl had a slender figure, and swayed in the night wind, looking very fragile. She lowered her head, as if she was very sad.

"That's right, it was my second uncle who bullied my sister."

"And smashed the door."

Lan Wangyu followed up Lan Wangyan's words slowly, and everyone's attention shifted to the gate. A large piece of wood on the outside was smashed off, and the iron plate inside was shining with metallic luster under the moonlight.

Lan Wangshu looked at his two younger brothers with admiration and secretly ruffled their little buns.

What is there to hesitate about? Everyone will of course stand on Lan Wangshu's side without hesitation. Not to mention that the tofu recipe is related to their vital interests, they cannot accept the person who smashed the door. The atmosphere in the village has always been good. When has there ever been such a shameless person? What if he smashes the door of their own home?

"I don't think we can just let this go."

An old man tapped his pipe, his back slightly hunched. Cang Wenyuan looked over and a look of surprise flashed across his face. He stepped forward and supported the man.

"Uncle, why are you out? You look much better now."

"The Zhao family kid is planting new crops and has been bothering me a lot. Now that I have something to do, I feel better."

He looked at Lan Wangshu with his somewhat cloudy eyes, as if he was looking at someone else through her face.

"Okay, okay, Qingshan, I'll use my old face to take charge today. I'll take the man to the ancestral hall and let your father deal with this little bastard."

"Okay, I'll listen to Third Uncle."

The people around responded instantly. Lan Wangshu didn't know who this third uncle was, but since everyone respected him so much, he must be a capable and contributive person. She appreciated it and should respect him even more.

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

The old man shook his head and pulled his cotton jacket closer.

"You and your brother don't need to go over there. Just have a good rest and leave it to us old guys."

Lan Wangshu nodded obediently. She understood that they didn't want her to take the lead, lest the blame be put on her.

Cang Wenyuan gave the old man a reassuring look in return and respectfully helped him leave.

"Let's go home."

Lan Wangshu pulled the two children towards home. Without a lantern, they could only rely on the cover of night. Fortunately, the distance was not far, only about a hundred meters, and they had no problems along the way.

As soon as she entered the yard, she closed the door and asked her brothers to wait for her here. She went into the house, lit the candle, covered it with a lamp, and then showed the twins the locations of the mousetraps in the yard one by one.

"There are traps in these places. Don't go there when you are playing. Remember?"

After making sure they remembered, I washed the twins' faces and feet and coaxed them to sleep.

Lan Wangshu knew that Lan Qinghe would not have an easy night, so she fell asleep with a smile on her face and had no dreams all night. When she woke up the next day, she felt full of strength.

Maybe this is what it means to have nothing to worry about. Solving hidden troubles always makes people feel happy.

She hummed a song, washed up, and started to make breakfast.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. She was a little curious. She didn't know who it was so early?

She took a look through the crack in the door and saw that it was Gao. She opened the door and welcomed Gao in.

"Why is sister-in-law here?"

Gao looked at her twice. This look made her feel uncomfortable all over. Could it be that there were some rumors last night that made Gao misunderstand something?

"I heard about what happened last night. It's all my fault. If I had insisted on sending you back, this wouldn't have happened. Lan Lao Er is such a black-hearted person. How can a woman's reputation be ruined like this?"

Gao breathed a sigh of relief, but there was some gritted teeth in her tone.

Lan Wangshu disagreed a little. What did this have to do with the Gao family?

"This matter has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. Brother Cang and I are innocent. It would be inappropriate if he caused a rift between my brother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law should not blame me for involving you in this matter."

"You kid, your sister-in-law is not blind, she knows you don't like your husband."

Gao sighed. She didn’t know whether what she asked for was right or wrong.

"Huh? Is it so obvious?"
