The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

At the same time, the Zhang family was also in a gloomy mood.

The west wing was inexplicably struck by lightning, and half of the wall collapsed. Not only were all the books in the room burned, but even Mr. Zhang's writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were destroyed.

Zhang's mother was so angry that she couldn't help but burn the things. But Mr. Zhang insisted that he had an inkstone which was Hui ink and was worth more than ten taels of silver. She ran into the fire, but she didn't get the inkstone back and was burned.

Zhang's mother had no time to care about anything else and sent her son to the county clinic overnight. The burn could be serious or minor. If a scar was left on his face, there would be no hope for him to take the imperial examinations in the future.

The Zhang family was struck by lightning. Zhang Xiucai was injured and sent to the county clinic. Li Xiulan's silver bracelet was found in Zhang's house.

When Chu Wanwan heard the news, she was first panicked because her brother was injured, and then she was deeply suspicious. The Zhang family was not short of money, so they would not steal things from their family. Then...

She thought of Chu Xiaoxiao, now Chu Xiao. It must be Chu Xiao's doing. He is an evil ghost and this must be his revenge.

When she thought about the fact that all the money in the family was gone and her brother Yi Ju was injured, she became so angry that she stomped her feet hard.

She decided to expose Chu Xiao, take back the money in the family, and seek justice for her brother Yi Ju.

When she came to her senses, there was no one in the yard. Everyone had to go back to sleep in the late night. It was good enough that those who lived nearby came over to comfort her. Who could stay here for another night?

Chu Wanwan was so depressed. At worst, she could wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, she would expose Chu Xiao's evil deeds in front of the whole village.

Early the next morning, Mr. Zhang returned to the village. Although he was burned, it was not serious. After applying medicine, the wound would not hurt if it was not touched.

When he returned to the village, he heard that Li Xiulan's silver bracelet that was stolen last night was found in his yard. In order not to affect his future, this matter must be explained clearly.

He followed Zhang's mother to the Chu family. As soon as he entered the yard, Chu Wanwan found him and burst into tears: "Brother Yiju, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yiju's burned arm was pressed down by Chu Wanwan who rushed over. He couldn't help but hissed in pain, but he was a scholar and his face was very important, so he naturally couldn't scream. He could only endure the pain and said, "It's okay, it's just a burn."

"Brother Yiju, where are you hurt?"

"The arms, calves, and forehead are all covered. You are blind and can't see." Seeing that Chu Wanwan had hurt her son without any sense of propriety, Zhang's mother pushed her away angrily and said, "You are a girl. Don't throw yourself at a man when you see him. That's disgraceful."

"Mom." Zhang Xiucai interrupted his mother's scolding of Chu Wanwan: "I came to Uncle Chu today to explain, so you should say less."

Chu Wanwan was a little proud of being protected by Zhang Xiucai. She raised her head and said her guess: "Brother Yiju, why was she struck by lightning for no reason? Do you think it was Chu Xiaoxiao?"

Zhang Yiju frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"Chu Xiaoxiao could have caused thunder to fall on a sunny day in front of the whole village. Last night, your house was struck by lightning, and mine was robbed. If you want to say who hates our two families, it's no one else except Chu Xiaoxiao."

"That does make sense." Zhang nodded.

When Chu Wanwan heard that her brother Yi Ju actually said that what she said made sense, she was so happy.

What does this prove? It proves that even though she is illiterate, she is intelligent and is naturally worthy of her brother Yi Ju, who is a scholar.

When Li Xiulan saw the Zhang family coming, she didn't care about anything else and wanted to make a scene. If the Zhang family hadn't gone to the county town last night, she would have gone over to make a scene.

She rushed directly to Zhang's mother and said, "Zhang family, tell me if you came here last night and stole my money."

Mother Zhang was hit hard and sat on the ground, screaming in pain: "Ouch~ Ouch~ Li Xiulan, you crazy woman, would our family covet your little money? My son is a scholar."

Chu Wanwan was a little annoyed to see her mother going crazy without knowing the reason, so she quickly pulled her away and carefully went to support Zhang's mother: "Aunt Zhang, don't blame my mother, she just heard that the bracelet was found in your house last night, and she got distracted for a moment."

Li Xiulan saw the woman pushing her away to help someone else, and she became even angrier: "Chu Wanwan, your mother is still sitting on the ground."

Chu Wanwan rolled her eyes, but had to turn around to support Li Xiulan: "Mother, think about it carefully. Brother Yiju doesn't have to pay taxes after passing the imperial examination. The government will also give him two taels of silver every month. Why would he come to our house so late at night? The bracelet must have been thrown in by someone else to deliberately frame Brother Yiju."

"I don't know whether it's a frame-up or not. Anyway, my bracelet is in your house, and you took the silver." Li Xiulan didn't want to reason. She just wanted to get the silver back. It was none of her business whether she was wrongly accused or not.

Zhang's mother was hurt by the fall, and after hearing what she said, she pointed at Li Xiulan and cursed: "You crazy woman, who cares about your things? I said it's not mine, so it's not mine. At worst, I can report it to the police and let the county magistrate make the judgment."

"Why report to the authorities?" The Zhang family has a scholar, and the officials will definitely judge her biasedly, so she didn't report to the authorities: "It sounds good to say that your family has a scholar, but you usually try to take advantage of everything. Maybe you have done something against the will of heaven, otherwise how could you be struck by lightning."

"The whole village is fine, only your house was struck by lightning. You must have stolen my silver, and God couldn't stand it, so he struck your house."

Chu Wanwan was so angry. How could her mother be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter? Now that the two families have fallen out, will her life be easy after she marries into the Zhang family?

"Mom, can you please stop talking nonsense? It definitely wasn't Brother Yi Ju's. It was Chu Xiao Xiao. He must be the one taking revenge on us."

Li Xiulan frowned: "You mean that little bastard? He doesn't even live in the village, so why would he come to our house in the middle of the night?"

Chu Wanwan said, "Mom, how could outsiders know where you hid the money? To be able to take it away without anyone noticing, it must be someone who is very familiar with our family."

Li Xiulan thought it made sense, but she had always hidden the money to protect herself from Chu Xiaoxiao. Her family members knew about it, and Chu Wanwan might have told Zhang Xiucai, so the Zhang family could not be ruled out as a suspect.

Chu Wanwan continued, "Our family has never offended anyone before. It's just that Chu Xiaoxiao who hates us so much. Mother, our family and Brother Yi Ju's family have both been in trouble. We must not let him off easily."

Scholar Zhang was injured and did not dare to step forward. When everyone had finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Aunt Chu, I am not talented, but I know that ill-gotten gains are not acceptable. Moreover, our fellow villagers usually take care of us and will not steal from our relatives and neighbors. I hope you will think about it more."

"If you still have doubts about me, you can go to the yamen and ask the county magistrate to make the decision. I can write the petition for you."

"Writing a complaint against myself, are you taking advantage of me, a peasant woman, who can't read?"

Li Xiulan was already upset because she lost her money, and her daughter kept throwing tantrums, so she wanted to continue throwing a tantrum.

At this time, Chu Lao Er came out, his brows knitted, and he also looked impatient. He interrupted, "Alright, what can you achieve by just arguing? The village chief will be here soon. We'll talk about whether to report to the police or let the village make the decision. Chu Wanwan, you should go back to your room too. Don't be a girl who has never left home and say anything without knowing the seriousness of the matter."

Chu Wanwan felt that what she said was not wrong, but in order to maintain the image of a sensible girl, she had to go back to her room obediently.

She was angry and sad at the same time. She was angry at why her mother quarreled with the Zhang family. No wonder her brother Yi Ju hadn't looked for her for so long, and he didn't even look at her when he saw her today.

No, she wants to marry Brother Yi Ju and can't let her mother ruin her plan.

Zhang's mother already had a bad impression of her family, so she had to find a way to make Brother Yi Ju fall in love with her and marry no one else.

Since her brother was injured, she could always send him some nourishing food and show her concern for him. She didn't believe that if she took care of him tenderly and attentively, he would be completely bewildered and want her to marry him as soon as possible so that they could live sweetly from then on.
