Chapter 110 The Trouble Brought by a Pair of Pants
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a group of women by the bridge burst into raucous laughter.
Li Xiulan felt she lost face and said with some annoyance, "Who said we aren’t giving anything? I’ve been too busy taking care of my man these days to bother with that, so what’s the rush?"
The Secretary’s daughter-in-law overheard this and suddenly remembered, not only had Li Xiulan’s family not come over to express their thanks, but even her own brother-in-law’s family hadn’t done so either.
It truly was against the norms. After all, if it hadn’t been for Luo Qiao’s intervention, Gao Shunyi might have lost his life. Then what kind of disaster would have befallen her brother-in-law’s family?
Knowing Li Xiulan and the kind of person she was, she might not have let her brother-in-law’s family off so easily. Thinking about it made her feel somewhat frightened, so she stood up and left the bridge’s side, planning to go home and discuss the matter with her husband.
Luo Qiao returned home, drank some water, and prepared to lie down for a bit, as she would have to return to work soon.
However, before Luo Qiao could lie down, she heard children’s shouts of alarm from across the village. Originally, she wanted to ignore it and continue resting, but then she heard a woman’s interrogative voice, as well as Stone’s name.
She quickly got up, ready to get off the bed, thinking that the alarming shouts just now couldn’t possibly be Stone, could they?
She put on her shoes and ran outside.
The voices were audible, but the crops in front made it hard to see what was happening on the other side of the river. Only the children’s crying and the adults’ scolding could be heard.
