A series of screams and cries for help erupted as four burly men, their faces bruised and swollen, piled on top of each other, with Manager Wang on top of them.
Carpenter Lu and Lu Qiaoqiao were dumbfounded. Were they seeing things?
Even God couldn't stand it anymore, and these people are getting their just desserts?
My gaze shifted, and I saw a dark-skinned boy standing in the yard, flexing his fingers.
Manager Wang tumbled down from the top, wincing in pain, and glared at the dark-faced boy, cursing him.
"Who are you? Are you blind? How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am?"
"You old dog, you're quite the barker. Do you know who I am? How dare you bully a woman!"
The dark-faced boy punched Manager Wang in the face.
Manager Wang, who was knocked to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with two teeth.
Shopkeeper Wang immediately cowered, "Great hero, spare my life, spare my life!"
"What are you looking for at Carpenter Lu's house?"
The dark-faced boy is Lin Shuyun.
She changed her clothes and went to the courtyard that Ma Liu had mentioned, but no one was there. Then she went straight to the Lu family's house.
Unexpectedly, I saw these beasts trying to insult Lu Qiaoqiao.
A hint of panic flashed in Manager Wang's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "I asked him to make a canopy bed, but I never expected that this carpenter couldn't do it. I was so angry and embarrassed that I threatened him with his daughter!"
Lin Shuyun stepped on Manager Wang's arm.
With a snap, Manager Wang's right arm broke, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell the truth, or next time Grandpa will be stepping on your head!"
Shopkeeper Wang was sweating profusely from the pain. "It's the Wang family! The Wang family of Shengjing sent me to find Lu Ban's secret techniques! I'm just a nobody, not even a nobody! If you want to settle scores, go find the Wang family!"
"The secret techniques of Lu Ban? How could a carpenter in a small town know them? Why would the Wang family be looking for the secret techniques of Lu Ban?!"
"I do not know!"
As soon as Manager Wang saw Lin Shuyun raise her foot, he immediately knelt down with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"I really don't know what to do! The higher-ups are pressuring me too much, I really have no other choice, so I just wanted to find someone to fill in. This carpenter's surname is Lu, and he can even make Luban locks. I never expected to offend the girl you've taken a fancy to, hero! Please spare me, hero!"
Manager Wang deliberately misled the public.
He wanted others to think that the dark-faced boy also had his eye on Lu Qiaoqiao, which was why he rushed out to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
"Only the Wang family's lackeys can bear the surname Wang, don't you think so, Manager Wang!"
Lin Shuyun was no fool; she couldn't be fooled by Manager Wang's little tricks.
Only a lowly servant can be given a family name?
"Get out of here! My master protects this place. If you dare to show your face in Wuyun Town again, I'll make sure none of your Wang family's dogs ever return!"
She didn't know anything about the background of the Shengjing Wang family.
Therefore, Lin Shuyun deliberately mentioned her master, making the Wang family misunderstand that she had a more powerful force above her, so that the Wang family would be wary.
Sure enough, Manager Wang's eyes narrowed.
"Thank you so much for sparing my life, sir! Thank you so much, sir!"
The four burly men who had formed a human pyramid all had broken arms. They got up, kowtowed to Lin Shuyun several times, and then ran away in a flash.
"Thank you so much, hero, for saving my life!"
After getting dressed, Lu Qiaoqiao helped Lu the carpenter to kneel down and kowtow.
Lin Shuyun turned and left, walking even faster than those burly men.
Before the two of them could even kneel down, the person had vanished, and they almost thought they were seeing things.
Lu Qiaoqiao wiped away her tears. "Father, those men just tore at my clothes. I'm going to see Brother Hongzhi and ask him if he's still willing to marry me!"
"You still want to see people even in this state? I heard that Lin Hongzhi was beaten to a pulp!"
Lu Qiaoqiao looked up and saw the same hero standing at the door again, leaning against the door frame and looking at her.
"Great hero, you know Brother Hongzhi? How is he?!" Lu Qiaoqiao asked excitedly.
"There's nothing in this area I don't know. Lin Hongzhi had his arm broken by Manager Wang's men, and then his leg was broken in retaliation! Now he's bedridden and a cripple!"
Lin Shuyun blew the sawdust off her hands.
"Your arms and hands are very important for carpenters, right? It's a pity that a disabled person can't do carpentry anymore! He might even have trouble surviving!"
(Lin Hongzhi, a villager, took a large fish from Zhang Shitou, and walked home with one arm in a sling, sneezing more than a dozen times in a row.)
Lu Qiaoqiao's face turned deathly pale.
After a long pause, she made up her mind and gritted her teeth, saying, "His family has already made the betrothal, so I am his wife! As long as he doesn't despise me, I will serve him for the rest of my life."
Lin Shuyun stared at Lu Qiaoqiao for several moments with wide eyes.
She thought to herself that her simple-minded older brother was lucky to have met such a sincere girl.
Seeing Lu Qiaoqiao's face covered in tears, she took out a handkerchief and threw it at her, and then...
It landed precisely on Lu Qiaoqiao's head.
Lin Shuyun was embarrassed for a moment, then coughed and said, "I've never seen such a silly woman as you. Wipe your tears!"
"Thank you, hero."
Lu Qiaoqiao took off her handkerchief and wiped her face haphazardly several times.
Seeing a small red flower embroidered on it, and smelling a faint fragrance, I thought to myself, "Why is this hero using a young lady's handkerchief?"
Seeing Lin Shuyun about to leave, Carpenter Lu spoke up, "Great hero, please wait! Would you be willing to leave your name so that I, Lu Yi, can repay your kindness in the future!"
"There's no need to repay the debt of gratitude, Nameless."
Seeing that the person had left, Lu Qiaoqiao chased after them but couldn't find them.
She had no choice but to close the door; she needed to tidy up before going to find Brother Hongzhi.
Carpenter Lu sighed.
What is coming will eventually come.
……
……
Lin Shuyun found a place to wash her face, changed back into her original clothes, and then went to Doctor Yang's to buy a bottle of medicine for sprains and bruises.
It was already 5 or 6 pm when we arrived at Xinghua Village.
"Yunniang, you're back?"
Madam Li had been waiting at the door after cooking, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Shuyun return unharmed.
"Sis, did you go to Qiaoqiao's house? How is she?"
Lin Hongwen ran out of the house, and Lin Hongzhi also came out.
Jiang Changtian, leaning on his cane, was a step slower.
The last one is Lin Dahai.
The whole family looked at Lin Shuyun.
Lin Shuyun blurted out, "It's quite a coincidence, I happened to see that the shopkeeper had offended some big shot and run away! Big brother, you can rest assured now! Sister Qiaoqiao won't be taken away by someone!"
"Sister, did you drive her away?" Lin Hongwen jumped up happily.
Jiang Changtian stared intently at her.
Lin Shuyun smiled slightly, "What are you thinking? How could your sister have that ability? I went to ask Doctor Yang to buy a bottle of medicine for my brother. I didn't expect to see Manager Wang scrambling away from Wuyun Town. After asking around, I found out that he had offended someone."
"real?!"
Lin Hongzhi was overjoyed, his face flushed, and he wanted to go to the Lu family immediately. He looked at his arm and his eyes lingered.
"Big brother, I bought you some medicine! It's for external use!" Lin Shuyun took out the medicine bottle.
Lin Hongzhi said dejectedly, "No need, I've already had my arm set by Dr. Yang. Dr. Yang said I just need to rest and recover properly!"
His arm bone is fractured. Even if he can eat and drink normally after it heals, he will never be able to work as a carpenter again.
His master treated him like a son, passing on all his skills to him...
Without his cooking skills, how could he possibly provide a good life for Qiaoqiao?
“I bought medicinal herbs from him before, and we have a close relationship. The herbs I get will definitely be different from the ones you get.”
"Here, big brother, let me apply it for you!"
Lin Shuyun then invited Lin Hongzhi into the house.
"Sis, I can do it myself!" Lin Hongzhi quickly refused.
"You're injured, I'll take care of you!"
"Then let Hongwen do it." Lin Hongzhi was forced to sit down.
“Hongwen is too weak, I’ll do it.”
"Then let Mother..."
"What are you dawdling about, you man! I'll do it!"
