Uncle Chen Jiu's eyes immediately became sharp as he looked at Mrs. Hu lying on the ground: "If you bully the people in our village, you are bullying the entire Tongshu Village!"

Hu Da's wife was stunned. She rolled to her feet and pinched Guo Ni'er, "You damn girl, why don't you fart quickly!"

Guo Nier raised her eyes and said to Uncle Chen Jiu with tears in her eyes, "Grandpa Jiu, it's me, I'm Guo Nier... I want to come back, but Aunt Zhao won't let me see my sister-in-law...

"My aunt was also anxious and said something wrong, so Aunt Zhao beat her like this..."

As she spoke, she sneezed, and her nose started running. She raised her sleeve to wipe it and sniffed, "Grandpa Jiu, I'm from Tongshu Village too! My sister-in-law and I are the only two people in my family now. If I don't look for my sister-in-law when I come back, who else can I look for?"

Uncle Chen Jiu's face was filled with disdain. "Are you Guo Ni'er? How come you don't look like her? You used to be such a pure and innocent little girl, but look at how dirty you are now!"

Guo Nier was both embarrassed and annoyed, but she didn't dare to lose her temper and just kept playing the victim.

Hu Da's wife took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, can we go inside and talk? We've been freezing outside for most of the day. It's okay for adults, but what should we do if the child gets frozen?"

Uncle Chen rolled his eyes and said, "If you think it's cold, don't go out during the New Year!"

Hu Da's wife was choked and speechless.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the crowd, "What's going on? Master Chen Jiu, we're about to cook dumplings, why are you here?"

The crowd parted, and Xu Xia came over, protecting Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was wearing the cloak that Qin Ying had mended and a hat on his head.

It was originally a rustic, shit hat, but when worn on his head, it suddenly looked more noble than ever before.

He walked slowly with a stern face, glanced at the embarrassed Hu Da's wife and Guo Ni'er, and turned to ask Aunt Zhao: "Aunt Zhao, what's going on?"

Uncle Chen Jiu wanted to explain on his behalf, but Zhou Yu gave him a cold and indifferent look.

Uncle Chen Jiu immediately shut up. Lord Zhou was so gentle on ordinary days. It turned out that he didn't show off his official power. But when he showed off his power, it was really scary!

Aunt Zhao's eyes were red, and she told the reason why Mrs. Hu and Guo Ni'er came, as well as what they had said. Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears and shed tears, "Yingzi is suffering so much, the villagers in the village are watching!

"She's talking nonsense, but people who don't know her are supposed to take it seriously.

"A woman's reputation is so important! Isn't she clearly trying to force Yingzi to death?"

Zhao Hu rolled his eyes, ran back to unlock the door, moved a stool and ran out, not forgetting to instruct: "Sister, Mr. Zhou is here, you don't have to go out! It's cold outside, don't let An Baoer get cold, you just stay in the house honestly!"

He carried the stool outside and placed it behind Zhou Yu. He wiped it with his sleeve and said respectfully, "Master Zhou, please take a seat."

Xu Xia glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. This kid is quite clever!

Zhou Yu did not refuse Zhao Hu's kindness and sat down.

The villagers who were originally very angry calmed down. The villagers who lived a little further away also came running when they heard the news. Soon all the villagers in Tongshu Village were present.

But apart from Aunt Zhao's sobbing, there was no sound at the scene.

Hu Da's wife and Guo Ni'er were even more frightened.

Zhou Yu glanced at them and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Xia stood beside Zhou Yu and shouted, "Speak!"

He used a little bit of his internal force, and everyone present felt their hearts tremble. Mrs. Hu and Guo Nier's legs became weak and they knelt down involuntarily.

Zhou Yu didn't let him get up either.

Xu Xia shouted again, "The Master is asking questions! Speak!"

Hu Da's wife pinched Guo Ni'er hard.

Guo Nier's tears immediately fell, and she trembled and said, "I... I am the little girl of the Guo family, my name is Guo Nier, and this is my aunt.

"I...my uncle and aunt heard that life in Tongshutun could be sustained, so they wanted to send me back..."

Mrs. Hu quickly added in a low voice, "It's not that we don't want to continue to support her, it's just that life in Gaojiatun is not as good as in Tongshutun, so we wanted to let her come and live with her sister-in-law.

"When I took her away, I was thinking that she and her sister-in-law's two little girls would have a hard time.

"I didn't take his sister-in-law with me because we have two little boys at home, and our house is too small, so it's really inconvenient..."

"This is not nonsense!" Aunt Zhao was so angry that her chest heaved violently, "Master Zhou! You don't know! When they came to pick us up, they smashed pots and bowls and scolded Yingzi for eating for free!

"But I swear to God, Yingzi has done all the work at home and in the fields since she came to their house!

"This little white-eyed wolf Guo Ni'er was also raised by Yingzi!

"They took away everything edible and useful from the Guo family, leaving nothing for Yingzi!

"What kind of year was that? It was a time of great famine!

"If I hadn't seen Yingzi go out for three days and I hadn't gone to look for her, she would have starved to death!

"Not only did they force Yingzi to death once, they're planning to do it a second time!

"Do you know what they said? They said An An was Yingzi... Those words were too dirty, I couldn't say them!"

"Hmm?" Zhou Yu's face darkened, and he glanced coldly at Mrs. Hu and Guo Ni'er, "Is what she said true?"

The two of them trembled and huddled together without any prior agreement, but no one dared to look up or speak.

Zhou Yu said coldly, "Fabricating lies to slander others is defamation. According to the law..."

He glanced at Xu Xia, who understood what he meant, cleared his throat, and said, "My Lord, I'm afraid you don't understand, so let me explain it to you!

"You've lied and spread rumors about others, causing them harm. According to the laws of our Great Zhou, you should be sentenced!"

Zhao Hu scolded, "Did you hear that? Do you dare to talk nonsense again?"

Hu Da's wife was sweating profusely and kowtowed to Zhou Yu: "Master, please spare our lives! We won't dare to do it again, never again!"

Guo Ni'er didn't know what to say, so she just kowtowed along with her aunt.

Zhou Yu was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Ying carrying An An out from the corner of his eye.

Qin Ying bowed to Zhou Yu first, then turned to Hu Da's wife and the other two: "Didn't you say you would sever ties with me forever? Why are you here again now?"

Guo Nier crawled a few steps on her knees, hugged Qin Ying's legs, raised her head and cried, "Sister-in-law! I know I was wrong! I miss you! I want to come back! Let's wait for my brother to come back together at home, okay?

"From now on I will listen to you in everything! I will never make mistakes again!

"Sister-in-law! Good sister-in-law, you can even raise a child you picked up... You raised me single-handedly!"
