"Sudden kindness." As soon as Shen Miaozhu finished speaking, the youngest sister called out, "It's Big Brother, my grandfather is back."

Shen Lingzhu also saw the two grandsons of the village head running into the main hall, and in the blink of an eye they ran out holding a gong.

As she hurried out of the door, a few gongs sounded, and the headman's voice shouted to stop.

The melee outside the gate was quelled by the sound of gongs.

In the two side rooms opposite, both the aunt and the village head's wife came out from behind the curtains.

"Little Zhuzi." Mrs. Hu waved her hand and called Shen Lingzhu to her side, fearing that she would join the hustle and bustle again, but she sent her son out to talk to her husband about leaving.

Shen Lingzhu would naturally not run out of the gate at this moment. After all, both sides of the fight could be heard in the yard, each claiming to be right.

This kind of thing is hard to explain, so the village head used his authority to suppress everyone. After whipping his son in public, he gave each of them fifty lashes and forced those who had done it to go home and reflect.

But the fat woman's brothers did not leave. They wanted an explanation and compensation.

When the headman told his wife to take the money, she handed it over angrily, but the fat woman said that the headman had sold Daya, and they asked her to hand over the money from selling Daya.

Upon hearing this, the village head's wife pointed at the fat woman and started scolding her.

The youngest sister suddenly came out of the house, picked up Daya, who had been standing behind Hu for some time, and ran away.

Perhaps it was because she moved too much or too quickly, but she knocked Mrs. Hu off balance.

Shen Lingzhu and her sister were only focused on holding onto their aunt, and when they wanted to chase after her, Daya had already been carried outside.

The village head's wife lifted up the child's clothes, revealing the wounds on his back that had just been cleaned.

The redness, swelling and bruises immediately shocked the villagers, who blamed Daya's father.

She said to the Lu brothers, "See? If my boss hadn't brought Daya back to treat her injuries, she would have died on the roadside last night!

What you found today is a corpse. If you don’t believe me, ask the doctor.

Those who say our family sold Daya are heartless."

The doctor who had never left said slowly that Daya had multiple stick wounds on her legs, as well as ulcers from being pricked by needles.

"Chen Lu, you bastard." A man behind the head of the village ran towards Dayadie who was hiding behind someone and started beating him up.

The woman with him also took the lead and pounced on the fat woman who was being supported by someone and slapped her several times.

When the fat woman's brothers wanted to step forward again, many villagers stood up to stop them.

Shen Lingzhu saw it clearly. Not only did the people around them not stop them from beating people, they even deliberately blocked Dayadi's escape route on the other side.

I think the two people who beat people should be Daya's uncle and aunt.

When Shen Lingzhu noticed that Daya was staring at her father being beaten with a slight smile on her lips, she couldn't help but shudder.

In the past, this child was probably beaten by her stepmother more than just once. While her thoughts were racing, her senior sister had already taken Daya back and said, "Let's go."

The two sisters stopped watching the farce outside and took the child back to the room to apply medicine. Daya did not cry out in pain the whole time, but only asked Shen Lingzhu if she was pretty and whether he would buy her.

It was definitely not something she could buy. Hu kept coaxing Daya on behalf of Shen Lingzhu until she gave her medicine and made her fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Shen Huai came in and said, "It has been agreed that Daya will be taken back by his uncle to be raised.

The five mu of land was transferred from the Lu brothers to the Chen clan for cultivation, and the annual rent was given to Uncle Daya as a means of raising the children."

Hu asked, "What about the future?"

Shen Huai: "When Daya comes of age and gets married, she will take five acres of land as a dowry."

"That's fine. It's more appropriate than sending him to Qixing Temple." Mrs. Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief and told him that she had to leave this morning.

Senior Sister Shen Miaozhu shook her head secretly. When Shen Lingzhu asked her why, she whispered, "It may not be as easy as being raised in a Taoist temple."

"Senior Sister, do you know about the Seven Stars Temple?" Shen Lingzhu disagreed with this. After all, the times were different.

Shen Miaozhu was slightly startled, then rubbed her little head and nodded.

Daya was taken away by her uncle with profuse thanks while she was sleeping, and the Shen family wanted to say goodbye immediately.

The headman was determined not to charge for the accommodation, so Mrs. Hu secretly gave Shen Lingzhu two taels of silver and asked her to work as the headman's wife in the kitchen.

He then instructed, "Just say it's a gift for her family to celebrate the birth of their son."

"Well, I won't ask her to return it." Shen Lingzhu didn't understand. Generally, no one would refuse this kind of money.

After she completed the mission and reported back, thinking of the expression on the headman's wife's face, which said, "You are finally leaving," and the enthusiastic attempts of the headman and his son to keep her, Shen Lingzhu wanted to fly to the other side immediately.

Unfortunately, the terrain on the other side of the river was low and flooded, so they had to take a detour of another twenty miles.

After walking more than ten miles, the axle of the mule carriage that had broken down last night got stuck again, and the whole family got off the carriage.

Shen Huai said to them, "I originally wanted to take a shortcut, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the longest way.

When you go to the county town in the future, it is better to take the official road safely."

"After all, we will be home soon. No matter how late, it will be tomorrow." Mrs. Hu was not in a hurry at the moment. It happened that she did not sleep well last night. They could take a nap by the woods.

Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister had already found a camping site for noon and were preparing lunch.

Shen Xianzhu, who was unable to help, carried a large bamboo tube to the river to fetch water. Before the tube was full, he saw a boat docked at the shore, and the fat woman's five brothers jumped out.

Seeing that they were all holding sticks, he grabbed his water bottle and ran to the campsite, shouting, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The five brothers didn't understand what he meant at first, but they recognized him and ran after him.

On the other side, Shen Lingzhu, who had just picked some vegetables and was about to take them to the river to wash, not only heard it clearly, but also saw clearly that someone was chasing his elder brother and throwing a club.

She dropped the food in her hand, drew out the slingshot from her waist and walked forward.

He would pick up any stones or other things from the river and shoot them out.

Bang! The man was hit in the calf and fell down immediately. The other pursuers immediately split up and headed towards Shen Lingzhu.

The one running ahead even shouted, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, we're here to discuss something."

I don't believe you at all. You're still discussing things when you're throwing weapons at people.

Shen Lingzhu kept shooting slingshots, making it impossible for them to get close.

With such a big commotion here, the people in the campsite had of course noticed it, and the two coachmen drew their long sticks and ran to provide support.

When Shen Huai turned around and shouted, "Miaozhu, look after your aunt," his senior sister had already run over with a bamboo crossbow to shoot people.

The last time she searched the county government office, she had disassembled the crossbow. Coincidentally, the eldest son in the neighborhood had fish bladder glue, so she traded it for candy and reassembled it into a set.

The crossbow arrows whizzed and hit the feet of the five brothers accurately, not only shocking them but also scaring the two coachmen.

But when Shen Lingzhu and Shen Xianzhu picked up the clubs and fought back, they put aside their surprise and joined in.

But in a short while, the five brothers were subdued by several people. The two coachmen were also experts. They tied the five brothers together with the ropes hanging on their waists.

The battle ended so quickly that Shen Huai was stunned on the spot. "Madam, how come they have crossbows?"

Mrs. Hu said angrily, "Ask your second brother. He always brings home all sorts of random tricks, and his two daughters have learned about 70% to 80% of them."

Shen Lingzhu, who had won the battle, saw his uncle and aunt coming and immediately stood behind his senior sister. "The crossbow is quite powerful. How do you explain it?"
