Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Chapter 183 Shi Xiaohua vs Fu Sheng (End)

Zhuang Ze's words made sense, so Fu Sheng did not refuse. Since he was destined to go through this, it was a good opportunity for him to deal with his family personally.

If he went back now, the Shi family would probably have rummaged through the yard, which would give him an excuse to cause trouble.

Before Fu Sheng, Zhuang Ze and Xiao Hua even reached the courtyard, Fu Sheng started talking pretentiously:

"Look, why is the door of the house not closed? Could there be a thief breaking in?"

"Xiaohua, wait here. Zhuang Ze and I will go check it out. In case a thief really breaks in and hurts you!"

Fu Sheng didn't wait for Shi Xiaohua to react, and pulled Zhao Ze quickly towards the courtyard. Shi Xiaohua originally felt like she was in a dream, wondering why Fu Sheng was so gentle to her, but Fu Sheng's words brought her back to her senses.

When she heard that the door was not closed, she remembered that this morning, knowing that Fu Sheng was leaving, she ran out of the yard in a daze and forgot to close the door.

But she couldn't speak, so she could only watch Fu Sheng pull Zhuang Ze into the yard.

She had thought about trying to explain it later, but she heard a wailing sound from the yard. She wondered if there was really a thief in the house? In order not to go in and cause trouble for Fu Sheng and the others, Shi Xiaohua dragged their luggage and hid to the side of the yard. In this way, even if there were any thieves who slipped through the net, she would not become a weight used to threaten Fu Sheng and the others.

In the yard, Zhuang Ze stood by the wall. He was of no use at all because as soon as Fu Sheng rushed into the yard, he kicked down all the men and women in the yard, and then started a round of punching and kicking in a very ungraceful manner.

Zhuang Ze enjoyed watching it, but he still kept an eye on the courtyard gate to prevent Shi Xiaohua from seeing Fu Sheng behaving like a shrew.

"Brother Sheng, is that all right? Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Go call the village chief and the militia over and tell them that someone stole something. These things on the ground are evidence. I'll be guarding them here."

Fu Sheng had decades of experience, so it was actually very easy for him to deal with a few people without letting anyone notice any clues. So even though several people from the Shi family were lying on the ground screaming, when Zhuang Ze came over and the village chief and his aunt checked, it was found that none of them had even a scratch on their skin.

Whether it was the village chief, the militia captain, or the members who came to watch, they all knew what kind of people the Shi family was, so everyone thought that their pain was fake and that the Shi family was really greedy.

So in the end, the family didn't even have a chance to defend themselves before they were taken away by the militia.

Shi Xiaohua had already been taken back into the house by Fu Sheng. When the courtyard gradually became quiet, Shi Xiaohua came out of the house, just in time to see Fu Sheng and Zhuang Ze putting the things that the Shi family had taken out back in their places bit by bit.

"Xiaohua, why did you come out? Are you hungry? I'll make something simple for now. When I'm done cleaning up, I'll go to my fellow villager's house to buy some vegetables and bacon. Then I'll make something delicious."

Looking at Fu Sheng who was looking at her with eyes full of concern, Shi Xiaohua wondered if she was still dreaming. She was clearly sad about Fu Sheng's departure in the morning, but now he was so gentle to her.

Shi Xiaohua couldn't help but reach out and secretly pinch her lower back. When she felt the pain, she was sure that everything in front of her was real.

Is this what the book says about hard work followed by happiness?

"Xiaohua, what's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? You can use sign language, I can understand it."

Seeing that the little girl had a dazed expression but didn't leave, Fu Sheng thought she had something to say, so he quickly made a suggestion.

He lived for so many years in his previous life and learned a lot of things, including sign language. He always thought that if he could learn sign language earlier, he would have more ways to understand Xiaohua better.

Although the Xiaohua now is different from the Xiaohua in his previous life, he still wants to understand her inner world better and care for her more, because he wants to spend his whole life with Xiaohua and he doesn't want any barriers between them.

Fu Sheng had a good idea, but his words surprised Shi Xiaohua. Apart from her parents and her junior high school Chinese teacher who taught her sign language, she had never told anyone else that she knew sign language.

But Fu Sheng knew. Could it be that Fu Sheng had been silently paying attention to her for a long time?

Shi Xiaohua had such a guess, but did not ask it out loud. However, in her heart, she felt a little happy and embarrassed that Fu Sheng was secretly paying attention to her.

Although Shi Xiaohua's guess was inconsistent with the facts, Fu Sheng had been with her for more than half a year and could be considered to have been secretly paying attention to her.

...........

During the next few days they stayed in the village, Fu Sheng and Xiaohua got along very well, except that there was no intimate contact. But in Zhuang Ze's eyes, they were just a loving newlywed couple, and he was superfluous.

He even regretted coming back with them out of loyalty.

By the time the punishment for the Shi family was finally handed down, Fu Sheng and his family had already finished their business. Fu Sheng even took Xiao Hua to the town to get a new marriage certificate, which really trapped the girl.

Originally, since Shi's family was caught red-handed but no losses were caused, they could be punished by doing labor reform in the village.

But when the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee heard that Fu Sheng and Zhuang Ze were both college students who had returned to the city and had some connections at home, they were worried that they would be dissatisfied with the outcome, so they simply sent their families far away, the harder the better.

Even if he didn't gain anything from this matter, he didn't offend anyone.

Fu Sheng was very satisfied with this unexpected result. Now that he had Xiaohua, he didn't have much attachment to Taohua Village anymore. He handed the courtyard over to the village chief, and the three of them set out on their journey home.

.............

In front of the Fu family's door, Fu Sheng held Shi Xiaohua's hand tightly in his palm with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiaohua, don't be afraid. Our family is very gentle and easy to get along with. I like you, and they will like you too."

Although she knew that Fu Sheng was trying to comfort her, Shi Xiaohua couldn't help blushing when she heard the words "I like you". She nodded shyly and then turned her gaze to the door again.

Fu Sheng knocked on the door, and after a while he heard someone respond from inside.

Then the door in front of him was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman about 50 years old. When she saw Fu Sheng, she was stunned at first.

"Are you Brother Sheng?! I heard from Madam before that Brother Sheng should be back soon, so she asked me to tidy up your room, and now he's back."

The middle-aged woman had a smile on her face and her eyes were full of surprise.

"Aunt Li, it's me. After I got the notice, I rushed back immediately so that we can celebrate the New Year together."

Fu Sheng didn't wait for anyone to ask. He raised the hand of the person next to him that was tightly clasped with his own and waved it in front of Aunt Li.

"Aunt Li, this is my wife Xiaohua."
