Chapter 36
: Falling on one’s back
Lu Qingling had no choice but to go down and hand her a dry branch to ask her to get up.
Cheng Jiaojiao came together, her eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "A Li, why did you push me?"
Ah Li is full of questions!
"You fell yourself, why do you blame me for pushing you?"
Cheng Jiaojiao's tears fell down, "If you say I dropped it myself, then it's just me!"
Ah Li was a man who didn't have to beat around the bush and said directly: "You were the one who threw it yourself. There's no way you can blackmail me."
Her mother had told her that there were many scammers out there who deliberately injured people and extorted their money, so she had to stay away from them if she encountered them.
Now she classifies Cheng Jiaojiao as someone who likes to blackmail people.
Cheng Jiaojiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only look at Lu Qingling's tears in her eyes, "Brother Lu, why is A Li so unreasonable? It's obviously her..."
"You want to say that Lili pushed you? Do you want her to apologize to you?"
Cheng Jiaojiao thought he believed her words, and couldn't help feeling happy.
Lu Qingling then said: "I believe you know the facts best, and I also believe Li Li. If she said she didn't push it, then she definitely didn't push it."
After saying that, he held the pheasant in one hand and Ah Li in the other and walked down the mountain.
Cheng Jiaojiao, who was left in a mess, stared blankly.
After returning home, her mother saw that the new clothes she had just made were scratched, so she picked up a sweet potato broom and wanted to beat her.
"Why are you so useless? I asked you to get close to the young master of the Lu family. What did you do?"
"Mom, don't blame me! It's all that stinky fish's fault. Brother Lu always protects her no matter what she does. I said she was the one who pushed me, but people don't believe me at all."
"That's because you are stupid. Since you know that the two of you have a good relationship, you should look for opportunities and not make random moves. Now it's better, people are on guard against you."
"Mom, what should I do?"
"What should I do, cold salad, let's wait for now! I don't believe they can always be like this, two little babies, they might have a falling out one day."
…
Ah Li and the others took the pheasant back to Ah Li's house and stewed it in a big pot.
The wild onions dug by Ah Li were used by Mr. Pei to fry the uneaten bacon during the New Year, and the aroma filled the house.
Lu Qingling and Lu Yun also came to the Lin family to have lunch together.
They have long treated the Lin family as relatives, and they often share delicious food together.
Pei and Lin Changlu used to call Lu Qingling Master Lu, but now they have changed it to Ah Ling.
Soon the day came when Lin Sanrong was going to the city to take the exam.
There are two examinations for children's students, one is hosted by the county magistrate, and the other is the government examination hosted by the magistrate.
There were five exams at one time, and the Lin family were worried about whether Lin Sanrong's body could handle the food.
Lu Qingling gave him some pills to keep him healthy and treat colds.
The Lin family also prepared some food for him.
Together they sent him outside the examination room in the county town.
After watching him being searched by the government officials and successfully entering the examination room, the Lin family felt relieved and walked back.
After all, the exam lasts for five days, so there is no use for them to stay here.
Not long after walking they met Lin Changgui's family.
They also came to send Lin Dabao to take the exam.
Mrs. Qin stepped forward and quickly stopped Ms. Pei.
"Hey, you are here too! Brothers and sisters, I am not trying to beat you up. How could Sanrong pass the exam after studying in the village school for several years!"
"You don't have to worry about it now. Whether we can pass the Three Honors exam is also our family's business. You should just worry about your family's eldest child!"
"My Dabao will definitely be fine. We are willing to spend money to train him. The master at the school has praised him several times."
"Is there anything else? You're fine, we still have something to do!"
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and got out of the way. Seeing the Lin family walking away, she couldn't help but spit, "Bah, don't think that you can stand up if you become a rich man now. There is no way."
She hoped that when Lin Dabao was admitted to Tongsheng, he would crush Lin Changlu's family.
Mr. Pei was so angry that while walking he told Lin Changlu that his eldest brother and his family were really nothing.
Lin Changlu sighed and coaxed Mrs. Pei, "Don't be angry with her. You'll be so angry that you can't get through it. Didn't Lili say that our family will definitely be admitted to the three honors? Then she will have nothing to say."
"Yes, mother, don't worry, third brother will pass the exam!"
Ah Li also quickly comforted Mr. Pei.
Just as they were rushing to the city gate to take a carriage, suddenly a group of people rode fast horses and drove straight in from the city gate, paying no attention to the panicked people around them.
Originally, there were many people coming and going near the city gate.
For a moment, people were on their backs, and many people were knocked to the ground.
When Ah Li and his family were about to hide away, a horse led by a man in black attire was about to step on Ah Li.
When Pei saw this, his eyes quickly pushed Ah Li aside.
Unexpectedly, she tripped and fell to the ground. Seeing that the horse was about to step on her chest, she closed her eyes in despair and fear.
After a few seconds, she felt no pain, so she quickly opened her eyes.
It was found that the horse fell to the ground, and the person on the horse also hit the ground heavily.
Lin Changlu and Lin Darong quickly helped the shocked Pei up.
The Lu family's coachman immediately came over and took advantage of the chaos to quickly help the Lin family into the car, and quickly drove the carriage away.
The horse just turned over because of Ah Li's punch. She didn't even expect that she would use all her strength to be so powerful.
The situation was urgent at that time. If she didn't do this, she would have no mother, so she didn't think too much and punched the horse hard in the stomach.
Ah Li was also lucky. When she did it, she was not discovered because of her small stature. No matter how hard anyone tried, they would never think that a little kid could knock the horse down.
And thanks to the Lu family's driver's quick actions, he took them away early.
They didn't know that after they left, the group of people immediately took out tokens and asked the officers and soldiers to close the city gate. They were bound to find the person who pushed their leader's horse down.
Their leader fell and hit his head and fell unconscious on the spot.
Because of Ah Li's move, Lu Qingling's danger was temporarily lifted.
Ah Li and the others ran away, and Lin Changgui's family was in dire straits. When the leader happened to be in trouble, they walked to the edge and saw someone fell to the ground, including a man and a horse. Qin went over to watch the fun.
Then he was taken to the Yamen prison by the group of people and locked up.
They were held in jail for three days before being released.
Lu Qingling felt very uneasy after knowing this. He knew that these people were probably coming for him.
He liked this place very much and enjoyed the rare warmth. He didn't want to leave so soon.
After Lu Yun received the news, he immediately went to the county town to inquire about the news, and asked Lu Qingling to wait here with peace of mind. If anything happened, he would have someone come back and notify him in advance.
When the situation arises, they will have to move to another place.
