“Yes, Madam.” Steamed Bun Liu nodded and looked at Country Lord Ning angrily before carrying the child out.
When Country Lord Ning saw the Steamed Bun Liu’s hateful gaze, her eyes turned cold. She turned to look at Liu Yulian, who was as thin as a matchstick on the bed and breathing unsteadily. She took two steps back and snorted. She flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.
Li Yu reached out to stop her and looked at her fiercely. “Madam, did you see it clearly? One of the two people just now was He Yuqing’s father-in-law, and the
other was his biological child. Do you know where that child is locked up? She was locked up in a dark abandoned house. Even a monster won’t hurt its own children. Do you think such a person deserves to die?”
Country Lord Ning looked at Li Yu calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
“And this one lying on the bed is his first wife. He attacked his father-in-law and child and abused her in every way possible. His wife endured all his abuse in order to live to see her daughter. Do you want to see the scars all over this strong mother?”
Ning Xiang looked at Li Yu and said casually, “What does what he did have to do with me? Go find him! What’s the use of telling me?”
Li Yu sneered. “May I ask the noble Country Lord Ning who helped the wicked? Do you know that they were his saviors?”
“I won’t sit back and do nothing about such an unforgivable thing. I want to seek justice for them and let those who have the guts to disregard the law and morals receive the punishment they deserve!”
Country Lord Ning’s expression froze and she felt her face burn. “As I said, what he did has nothing to do with me. What’s the point of telling me this?”
Li Yu glanced at her and said slowly, “You’re the dignified Country Lord Ning. Why did you personally come to stand up for a person with no morals? You know very well that there are gods everywhere. God is watching what you do!”
“I have a clear conscience. I don’t need Madam Li to remind me.” Ning Xiangjun quibbled and flicked her sleeve to leave the room.
Village Lord Ning went out the door and walked straight out with a dark expression. The granny and her attendant hurriedly followed.
Mr. Wen carried the medicine to the backyard and said to Steamed Bun Liu,
“Feed her the medicine first.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wen,” Steamed Bun Liu said gratefully. Looking at Mr. Wen and Li Yu’s family helping him, he felt that there were still many good people in this world! His originally despairing heart was reignited with hope.
After Li Yu helped Steamed Bun Liu feed the medicine to Liu Yulian, she saw that she was sleeping soundly. She went out and said to Steamed Bun Liu, “Tell my Master everything that happened. He will uphold justice for you.”
Steamed Bun Liu knelt down gratefully and kowtowed. “Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Master, for upholding justice for me.”
Zhou Jia helped him up and said, “Take the child to eat something first. We’ll talk later. ”
Steamed Bun Liu bowed to Li Yu, his wife, and Mr. Wen and Zhou Cai to thank them one by one and carried Ling’er towards the kitchen.
When they returned to the hall, Han San reported to Zhou Jia, “Master, that He guy chased after that lord.”
“Don’t bother about him,” Zhou Jia said indifferently.
Li Yu looked at the sleepy children and said to Zhou Jia, “I’ll bring the children home first before getting Han San to pick you up.”
“Alright, bring them back to rest.” Zhou Jia turned to look at Mr. Wen and asked with concern, “Sir, are you going back with Xiaoyu?”
Mr. Wen recalled that Steamed Bun Liu’s daughter was still unconscious and shook his head. “I’ll take a look at that child when she wakes up. Xiaoyu, go back and rest first.”
“Alright.” Li Yu woke Yangyang, Little Loach, and the others up. Zhou Jia held the child’s hand and accompanied Li Yu out of the restaurant. When Han San drove the carriage to the door, he sent them to the carriage and stood there watching the carriage slowly drive away.
Yangyang, Little Loach, and the others looked at Li Yu. Little Loach asked curiously, “Madam, why did that old man bite that baddie?”
Li Yu didn’t expect Little Loach to see it. She patted them comfortingly. “Don’t be afraid. You also know that that person is a bad person. He did something bad. He locked the old man’s daughter in the cellar and didn’t give her food to eat. He even beat and scolded her. Also, he hid his granddaughter. The old man couldn’t find them. He was really too sad, heartbroken, and angry, so he couldn’t control his emotions.”
Yangyang leaned against Li Yu’s leg. “Mother, I understand. If anyone hides you, I’ll beat him up and bite him.”
Little Loach and the others also looked at Li Yu and said, “We want to help Young Master hit him and bite him.”
Li Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know if she was right to tell the children these things. She could only pat them and smile. “Madam and Master are very capable. No one dares to hide us.”
Yangyang nodded heavily. “Yes! Brother Loach, you saw it. Mother was very powerful. She knocked out the bad guy’s front teeth with chopsticks.”
“That’s right. We want to practice martial arts. In the future, we’ll use chopsticks to knock out the bad guys’ front teeth,” Mao Dou said, clenching his fists.
Li Yu looked at them in amusement. “Alright, cultivate well and hit the bad guys’ front teeth.” The carriage swayed towards the village.
Zhou Jia watched from outside as the carriage drove further and further away. Only when it was out of sight did he turn around and return to the restaurant.
Steamed Bun Liu fed Ling’er the porridge and carried her to Liu Yulian’s side to let her sleep. When she fell asleep, he went out and closed the door to the hall. Zhou Jia looked at him and said, “Shopkeeper Liu, tell me what happened.”
After Steamed Bun Liu bowed, he sat opposite Zhou Jia and said, “My wife and I fled here and opened a bun shop. My wife made good fishballs. One of us made buns and the other made fishballs. Slowly, our business became better and better. We also made roasted chicken, which was my specialty. We finally built this restaurant more than ten years ago.”
“My wife had been in poor health since she fled the wasteland. She only had Lian’er after she met Mr. Wen and took medicine. Later, my wife died of illness, leaving Lian’er and me to rely on each other. Eight years ago, He Yuqing fainted in front of the restaurant from hunger. I kindly took him in and even betrothed Yu Lian to him. Later, Ling’er was born.”
“I saw that he was still considerate to my daughter and was quite filial to me. Two years ago, I wanted to return to my hometown to pay respects to my parents and ancestors, but I was afraid that the elders in the family would know that I didn’t have a son. They would snatch my business a hundred years later and ruin my hard work, I wrote the restaurant into Lian’er’s dowry out of selfishness. ”
“After doing this, I returned to my hometown in peace. Who knew that halfway back to my hometown, I encountered a mountain rock collapse? Fortunately, I dodged the bullet. After returning to my hometown, I was bedridden for nearly a year before I recovered. When I returned home two months ago, my daughter and granddaughter couldn’t be found. They didn’t even show up. When I returned to the restaurant, I realized that the restaurant’s shopkeeper, chef, and shop assistant didn’t know me and even wanted to chase me away. My old neighbor told me that there were rumors claiming that I had died halfway in my journey last year.”
“I looked around for my daughter and granddaughter, but I couldn’t find them. I couldn’t enter the restaurant either. My old neighbors privately persuaded me that He Yuging had hooked up with a noble and asked me not to fight him head-on. Otherwise, I would lose my life for nothing and still not be able to find my daughter and granddaughter.”
Mr. Wen sighed. “Your neighbor was right. In that case, you and your daughter would never have been reunited..”
