"I want to play..."

"I want to play too..."

Under the big locust tree in front of the government office.

Two little children are fighting over a tangram puzzle.

Jiang Miaomiao tucked the tangram into her bosom; it was a gift from Manager Jin from last time.

Not only did I give her a tangram set, but I also gave her tiger-head shoes, a tiger-head hat, and a box of mutton pastries.

My mother was so happy, saying it tasted just like the Suzhou-style cakes from Beijing.

"I'll play for a while!" Xu Baiyan stretched out his hand and asked her for it.

Jiang Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Your father is the county magistrate. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."

He handed the tangram puzzle to Xu Baiyan, "Here you go... play with it for a while..."

Xiuxiu watched quietly from the side, a warm smile on her face.

Xu Baiyan pointed to Jiang Miaomiao's front door and said, "I just saw a suspicious person enter your house."

Jiang Miaomiao looked up and saw a figure that looked somewhat familiar.

Then a quarrel broke out from inside the door.

"You brat, you accept other people's bamboo fungus, why don't you accept mine..."

Xiuxiu quickly picked up the baby and carried him into the yard.

The courtyard was packed with people.

Squeeze in…..

Jiang Miaomiao saw a middle-aged man with his back to them pour a basket of bamboo fungus at Jiang Qiao'er's feet.

The bamboo fungus looks spoiled and rotten.

Qiao'er's eyes turned red with anger.

Jiang Miaomiao thought she would cry.

Then, Qiao'er put her hands on her hips, glared at the person with a stern face.

"Uncle, didn't you see that the bamboo fungus you brought is all rotten? I'll sell you bamboo fungus like this, do you want it? Don't embarrass yourself here, your niece is ashamed for you!"

Everyone thought he was a rogue, but it turned out to be Jiang Qiao'er's uncle.

"Miss Jiang, your employer said she would only accept bamboo fungus picked according to her requirements. You can't show favoritism!"

Jiang Qiao'er raised her eyebrows, "Of course, who cares who it is, we'll do whatever the employer says."

Chu Yu never expected that Jiang Qiao'er, who was always well-behaved and quiet, would act like a shrew today.

They didn't give him any face at all; he was so angry his face turned green.

I originally just wanted to sell bamboo fungus, but I didn't expect to be unable to sell any.

Then don't blame him.

Jiang Qiao'er was destined to marry only his son.

The Jiang family's money can only go into his pocket.

"Jiang Qiao'er, you ill-mannered brat! A young lady like you shouldn't be at home waiting to be married. Instead, you're out here showing your face in public. Once my son Mingyuan marries you, he'll teach you a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, everyone speculated that the two families had become related by marriage.

Then this man must be her future father-in-law!

A villager who liked to play peacemaker stepped forward, "Miss Jiang, we're all family, let's talk things out..."

"This brother is something else. He's not even married yet, and his future father-in-law is already scolding him. How can any young lady dare to marry into your family?"

Jiang Qiao'er's face flushed red instantly.

How could an unmarried young girl withstand such gossip?

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she hurriedly explained, "No...it's not what he said, I didn't get married..."

Jiang Qiao'er's explanations were drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and tears streamed down her face.

Damn it, that damned uncle actually wants to ruin Sister Qiao'er's reputation!

In ancient times, women valued their reputation more than their lives. After such a commotion, who would dare to propose marriage to Qiao'er?

Unfortunately, my mother and aunt went up the mountain today.

Jiang Miaomiao clenched her little fists, hugged Aunt Xiuxiu's neck, and said the harshest words in her soft, childlike voice.

"Auntie...hit him...hit him!"

Xiuxiu's eyes lit up as she looked at the little baby in surprise.

Just what she wanted!

"Okay, beat him up!"

Then Xiao Miaomiao saw Aunt Xiuxiu free one hand, pull out a rattan whip from somewhere, and swing it at the man.

The rattan whip instantly bound the man's legs.

Aunt Xiuxiu pulled hard, and the person flew up and then fell down.

He immediately fell flat on his face.

No, it was the dog that ate the bamboo fungus.

I ate a mouthful of rotten, smelly bamboo fungus.

"what!"

"Damn it, who hit me?" Chu Yu spat a few times.

Xiuxiu carried Jiang Miaomiao in one arm and held Xu Baiyan's hand with the other as they walked over, glancing at the person lying on the ground.

"You dare to cause trouble here? You're tired of living!"

Seeing this, everyone quickly moved aside.

Chu Yu recognized the person and struggled to his feet, clutching his aching back. "Pah! So it's Lu Qingyao's lackey! How dare you hit your master! I'm reporting this to the authorities!"

Xiuxiu gave him a deep look, her gaze icy. "Who do you think you are? Do I even know you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yu was whipped again in the face, clutching his face and crying out in pain.

Jiang Miaomiao felt that Aunt Xiuxiu, who was not under her mother's watchful eye, seemed a bit irritable.

A fight would start if they disagreed.

If it weren't for the high courtyard wall, this dog uncle would probably have been whipped away by her.

"Good... great..." the little baby clapped and cheered.

"Great job..."

Chu Yu gave Jiang Miaomiao a venomous look.

“If you look at Miaomiao like that again, I’ll gouge your eyes out and feed them to the wolves,” Aunt Xiuxiu warned him.

Uncle Dog's body stiffened slightly, he covered his face and glared angrily at Xiuxiu, his words slurred, "You...you hit me, I'm going to report you to the authorities."

"Go ahead, the government office is right next door. You've ruined someone's reputation. I'm being lenient by not killing you. My daughter is still unmarried, how dare you spout such nonsense."

Xiuxiu looked up at the villagers and said, “Uncles and aunts, who can help me invite the people from the government office? This person came to cause trouble and slandered my daughter’s reputation. He should go to jail.”

The villagers finally understood: "So it was someone who deliberately ruined someone's reputation. This kind of person should be beaten to death!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Yu wanted to escape...

They were completely surrounded by villagers.

Soon after, the county officials arrived.

He was about to ask what was wrong when he saw Xu Baiyan and quickly stepped forward, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Xu Baiyan pointed at Chu Yu.

"Something's wrong! He hit me! Take him away!" a childish voice rang out.

Chu Yu's brow twitched, his mouth slightly open, and he looked completely innocent. "I...I didn't hit him, everyone saw it..."

When did he hit someone?

I was the one who got beaten up, are all the other people blind?

In broad daylight, how could I be framed by a little kid?

The officer looked at the crowd and pointed at Chu Yu, "Did he hit someone?"

The crowd responded to him.

"Yes, this is the man who hit the young master. I saw it."

"Yes, I saw it."

"I hit him..."

Most people who frequented the Lu residence knew Xu Baiyan because he often came to play with the Lu family's youngest daughter.

Over time, people found out who he was.

The young master has already said he's going to hit him, so who dares to say a word against it?

Chu Yu was dumbfounded as he stared at this group of people who were blatantly lying...

Are these people blind?

When he saw the officers walking towards him, his legs trembled with fear.

Then he was inexplicably thrown into prison and imprisoned for more than ten days before being released.

When I got home, I took a look.

The daughter-in-law and son's faces looked like they'd been scratched by a cat.

His face was bruised and swollen, covered in scratches...
