Chapter 261: Farce before the Auction 3
Zhou Chuchu's arm was grabbed by her brother and tears flowed down her face in pain.
"Mom, my hand hurts, brother, please let me go."
He Huiru finally panicked and cursed her maid in her heart for not keeping an eye on her daughter.
"Mingde, let Chuchu go, we can discuss something."
Zhou Mingde laughed out loud as he looked at his proud stepmother who suddenly started begging, his eyes full of madness.
I saw him tying Zhou Chuchu with his right hand and strangling Zhou Chuchu's throat with his left hand.
"Negotiable? Do you give me room for negotiation? I want the money. I know you killed my father. I saw you go out that day. Don't think you can hide it from everyone. He Huiru, I can't escape. You have to die too. Let's die together!"
He Huiru's face suddenly turned gloomy. Zhou Mingde couldn't help but shudder when he saw the other party's horrified eyes.
"Don't slander me. Saying the wrong thing could kill someone."
He Huiru said this expressionlessly, and Zhou Mingde inexplicably felt that she was looking at him as if he were a dead person.
He suddenly became frightened.
"You're talking nonsense. My mother would never kill my father. I have been sleeping with her for the past month. My mother is innocent."
"Zhou Mingde, you are not allowed to slander my mother!"
Zhou Chuchu started to struggle desperately, and Zhou Mingde was almost freed by her.
He was so angry that he tightly wrapped his arms around Zhou Chuchu's neck. Zhou Chuchu's face immediately turned red and she looked like she couldn't breathe.
He Huiru exclaimed in panic, "Chu Chu!"
Zhou Mingde smiled grimly, "Hand over the silver! And prepare a fast horse for me, and I will give you a moment..."
Everyone heard a loud bang and Zhou Mingde, who had been so smug just now, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Su He took a wooden stick and kicked the talkative villain.
"Stupid guy, you're talking so much. Constable Shi, find someone to tie him up quickly. I don't have any rope."
As Su He spoke, she helped Zhou Chuchu, who had also fallen to the ground, up. He Huiru also reacted quickly and rushed over to hug her precious daughter.
"Oh my Chuchu, wuwuwu, you silly child, didn't your mother tell you to hide in your room and not come out?"
Zhou Chuchu leaned against her mother and cried, her voice already hoarse, "Ahem, ahem, they all, bullied you, ahem, mother, I want to, come ahem, help, ahem, you."
He Huiru felt heartbroken at this moment. Thinking that her daughter would be alone after she was gone, she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
Su He looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, then looked at County Magistrate Ge and his gang not far away.
Su He sighed softly and walked towards Magistrate Ge. "Sir Ge, Master, please excuse me for a moment. Captain Shi, please go to the front hall and greet everyone first."
Constable Shi looked at Magistrate Ge, and after receiving a positive response, he simply left.
After Su He saw the people leave, he whispered to County Magistrate Ge and the other man, then pointed at the He mother and son.
After a long time, County Magistrate Ge finally nodded.
Su He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ran to the He mother and son, squatted down, and pulled the two people who were still crying apart.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business first."
He Huiru and her son looked at Su He blankly, and Zhou Chuchu even started to hiccup.
"Madam He, this time you cooperated with the government to successfully capture Zhou Tianfu, and generously donated everything in this house, as well as the money Zhou Tianfu took away. Magistrate Ge is very satisfied with you. Now your mission has been completed. You can take your dowry and your daughter and live a peaceful life."
Su He was afraid that He might not understand, so he emphasized it again.
"Did you forget to give the money Zhou Tianfu took away to the master? The master is right behind you. Hurry up. After you give it to him, you will be free and can leave at any time."
Hope emerged in He's eyes, and she spoke to Su He excitedly.
"Yes, I forgot. I'll go get it now. Sir, please wait for me. I'll be there soon."
He stumbled out, leaving her daughter behind, but no one present was worried that she would take the opportunity to escape. After all, Zhou Chuchu was still there.
He came back much faster than expected.
She just ran over with a box in her arms, and Su He quickly stopped her.
"Mrs. He, please sit with Miss Chuchu first. I will hand it over to the adults."
He's sanity seemed to return. After hearing what Su He said, she respectfully handed the box in her hands to Su He with both hands.
"Then thank you for your help, Miss Lotus."
Su He nodded at the two of them and quickly walked towards County Magistrate Ge and the other man.
"My lord, take a look."
The lawyer opened it carefully, and inside was a thick stack of silver bills. The smallest note was one thousand taels of silver, and there seemed to be a land deed at the bottom.
Su He could tell from Magistrate Ge's trembling hands and the uncontrollable trembling of his lips.
It's stable now.
Sure enough, County Magistrate Ge coughed lightly to cover up and said to Su He.
"Alright, just tell them to move out of the house within three days and behave themselves from now on."
After saying this, Magistrate Ge led his advisor out of the flower hall. He even ignored the auction.
Su He curled her lips speechlessly and conveyed County Magistrate Ge's words to He's mother and son.
"You are free now. Just move out within three days. It's still early today, so you can go find a house first."
He Huiru hugged her daughter and cried with joy. Her daughter was no longer an orphan.
After crying for a while, she suddenly pulled her daughter to kowtow to Su He.
"Oh, no need to kowtow, this is what you have earned through your own hard work, Madam He, there is no need to do this."
Su He wiped the sweat from his head and thought to himself that people in this era all like to kowtow.
"Hehua, you saved our lives, mother and daughter. I will never be able to repay you in my lifetime."
When Su He heard this, he inexplicably thought of Guan Xiao and somehow blurted it out.
"Madam, if you don't mind, I can repay your kindness with money. Just give me a few hundred taels."
He Huiru was stunned for a moment and then smiled happily.
"Okay, Lotus, follow me."
He Huiru wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Li before she could go out.
"Mom, my husband, I've never seen him like this before."
Li came over holding her two children.
"Mom, I really didn't know Mingde would ask grandma to come. I only found out this morning."
He Huiru no longer cared whether it was true or not. She just looked at Li deeply.
"Since you have called me mom for four years, I advise you to divorce me as soon as possible."
After saying this, He Huiru no longer paid any attention to Li. From now on, she didn't want to meddle in any other matters except her daughter's.
"Lotus, come with me. I'll take you to the warehouse."
Su He nodded and followed He Huiru.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the warehouse, and He Huiru opened the door herself and went in.
"Hehua, here is my dowry. I also have Chuchu, so I can't give you all of it, but I can give you half."
