The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Before lunch time, the news that outsiders had come to the Yan family had spread throughout the village.

Because the visitor's identity was so special, the village was very lively.

Even the men working in the fields couldn't hold back and gathered together to discuss the issue.

"Madam Du didn't hide anything. How could what she said be false? He really is a fugitive who killed someone and is now on the run! He came from Dongzhou!"

"What kind of fugitives? They are soldiers who have killed enemies on the battlefield! They are brave men! But they are also a bunch of pitiful people!"

"If I had the same fate as them, I would definitely seek revenge! I fought hard on the battlefield, and finally returned home after being discharged from the army, thinking I could be reunited with my family. But when I got home, I found that my parents, wife, and children had been raped and killed! Damn it, I can't even say any more!"

"That bastard, he enjoyed the protection of the soldiers on the frontier, but he insulted the soldiers' relatives in the rear! Can a person like that do only one bad thing? He is clearly guilty of many crimes and deserves to be punished! He deserves to die!"

"Mammy said that those people will go to the government office to surrender in two days... The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. No matter what the reason, killing someone is a fact and we cannot ignore the law."

After the initial curiosity, people felt heavy in their hearts, as if something was squeezing their hearts, and it was hard to describe the feeling.

They are ordinary people, the most ordinary people at the bottom of society, so they can empathize with the powerlessness they feel when they encounter injustice.

But what can they do?

It is a fact that someone has been killed in violation of the law. No matter how much sympathy one gets from others, it cannot shake the justice of the law.

Since this matter was said by Madam Du herself, the Yan family had no intention of keeping it secret.

As a result, the news spread at an unprecedented speed and spread throughout Wutong Town in just two days.

People from all over the country are paying unprecedented attention to this matter and are keeping a close eye on developments.

On the day Xu Hanzhang brought his men back to the Yan family, he set out alone for Yuanzhou Prefecture to make preliminary preparations.

On the third day, the seven outsiders left the village in the Yan family's carriage.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo..." In the afternoon, Li Sulan grabbed a handful of rice bran mixed with chopped vegetable leaves and scattered it on the ground to feed the chickens.

After the New Year, I found six chicks that were hatched from the hen next door. After more than two months of raising them, they have grown big and fat, and they flap their wings in a very imposing manner when fighting for food.

"Coo, coo, coo, coo..."

Someone outside the door whispered something, Li Sulan turned her head and saw a head of silver hair.

The old woman who looked like a beggar when she first came was temporarily taken in and cared for by the Yan family. Her hair was combed neatly, and she was dressed in clean clothes, and her whole charm was revealed.

Although she is old, her eyes and eyebrows still show the beauty of her youth.

I just don't know what kind of experiences made him go crazy.

She had lived in the Yan family for a few days and would occasionally walk out for a walk. Although she was crazy and confused, she never walked far. At most, she would just walk to the outside of the Lin family's courtyard, stay there for a while, and then go back to the Yan family by herself.

Very well behaved.

"Mother-in-law, why did you come out alone?" Li Sulan took two steps forward and asked softly.

For some reason, she always felt a sense of familiarity when looking at the old woman.

The old woman didn't look at her directly. She glanced at her secretly, turned her head away, and after a moment, glanced at her again, turned her head away again, and shook the rattle in her hand gently, making a twanging sound.

This kind of peeking posture makes her look like a timid and shy child.

Li Sulan smiled, but didn't approach the old woman, so as not to scare her. "These are domestic chickens. We usually feed them rice bran and vegetable leaves, and occasionally let them go out to find insects to eat. Do you want to feed them? Here, just use the rice bran in the basket and sprinkle it on the ground."

Li Sulan put the small basket of rice bran in her hand by the door. Her belly was too big, so it was difficult for her to bend over. She had to hold on to the door frame to keep steady and avoid stumbling.

Unexpectedly, this action actually frightened the silver-haired woman outside the door, her face changed drastically, she didn't even care about her most precious rattle, threw it aside, ran over, at a loss, wanted to help but didn't dare to touch, anxiously turned around, "Wei'er, mother is here... Wei'er, mother is here..."

Li Sulan was stunned. She looked up at the old woman blankly, tears falling one by one for no apparent reason.

My heart suddenly ached.

"Wei'er, don't cry, don't cry, be good... Mom is here, and I will never lose you again..." The tears in the old woman's eyes fell faster and faster. She still turned left and right, not daring to look people in the eye.

"Sister-in-law? What's wrong?" Zhang Cui'e came out of the vegetable garden next to her, carrying a vegetable basket and a kitchen knife. She was almost scared to death when she saw this scene. She rushed over and squeezed between the two people to separate them. "Why are you two crying? Oh my god, I was really scared. Sister-in-law, you are so pregnant, look at it! Come into the house quickly! I'll take mother-in-law back over there!"

Oh my god!

My sister-in-law is always careful and cautious in what she says and does, so why is she so careless now that she's pregnant? Isn't she afraid of a fight with her crazy mother-in-law?

If something happens accidentally, where can I go to cry?

"Cui'e, my mother-in-law is not a troublemaker and is very well behaved..." Li Sulan tightened her hands on the door frame and subconsciously spoke to defend the old woman.

Zhang Cui'e responded without stopping while pushing the old woman towards Yan's house. In the middle of the process, she even picked up the rattle that fell on the ground and stuffed it back into the old woman's arms. "Yes, yes, yes, I know that grandma doesn't make trouble, but you are pregnant now, and there can't be any accidents! I don't dislike grandma, but it's always better to be careful, right? Grandma, you can't throw away your precious Wei'er. Here, keep it well."

Li Sulan, "..."

Looking at the old woman being pushed away, with her lips pursed, wanting to protest but not daring to, Li Sulan smiled again. After she stood up straight, she raised her hand to touch the water stains on her face and couldn't help laughing.

I've heard from the women in the village that women tend to be particularly sentimental when they are pregnant, and she might be like that too.

Otherwise, why would you suddenly feel sad and cry?

Zhang Cui'e came back from there and wiped her sweat in front of her sister-in-law. "Sending an old lady to the opposite door is more tiring than cutting two rows of vegetables! She kept looking back every few steps! I had to push and coax her! But this crazy old lady is really well-behaved and doesn't make trouble at all... Sister-in-law, where do you think this crazy old lady came from? I wonder if she has any relatives at home. Did she get lost on her own or was she driven out by her family? If she got lost on her own, her family would be worried crazy, right?"

Li Sulan was so amused that she handed over a clean handkerchief. Her sister-in-law started to act like a spoiled child in front of her. "You ask questions like a string of cannonballs. I don't know where to start. Besides, I don't have an answer."

"By the way, next time you see a crazy old lady outside, don't approach her. If something happens, not only will you suffer, but your family will also be miserable."

"Nothing serious will happen. How could a thoughtful person like Madam Du let Mother-in-law go out alone? Even though no one is following her, there are people watching over her in the dark."

This is also one of the reasons why Li Sulan felt safe approaching the old woman.

Thinking of the old woman who was worried that she would fall and looked so helpless, Li Sulan lowered her eyes.

Why is she so sad?

Why...why does she feel wronged?
