It looked somewhat similar to Liu Yuyan.

The moment the woman saw Gui Zhi, she pointed at him and shouted, ”I've finally found you. Where did you hide my hairpin?”

Huang Guizhi was baffled, she raised her head and asked: ”What hairpin?”

”You still want to play dumb?” The lady was bold and energetic, even more so than Liu Yuyan, ”I saw it with my own eyes.”

”I've never seen you either. Don't spout nonsense here.” Huang Guizhi understood in her heart that this man was here to cause trouble, so she ignored him and continued to immerse herself in washing the clothes.

She still had to quickly finish washing her clothes and go home. If Lou Lan returned and found that she was carrying clothes to wash in this stream, she would probably be unhappy.

Huang Guizhi had just been beaten up by Jin Dacheng and her body had not recovered yet. The doctor had told her not to go out and catch cold, so how could Jin Xiaolou bear to let her go out and wash her clothes.

Just as she was thinking, a shadow flashed in front of her. The woman raised her leg and kicked the clothes basket by Gui Qi's side into the stream.

The bamboo basket was washed away by the stream, and instead, all of the clothes in the basket were spilled out and floated downstream.

”What are you doing?” Huang Guizhi anxiously arrived.

”You're still not admitting to it?” ”Just now when I was washing my hair in the courtyard, the hairpin was placed on a stool. When you passed it by with the cloth basket, the hairpin disappeared. If you didn't steal it, who else could it be?”

”Since your hairpin has disappeared, you came to accuse me. I definitely wouldn't take it away from you. I said that I've never seen it before, so I haven't seen it before.” Huang Guizhi vaguely remembered that when they left the house, there was a person who was washing her hair, but with her head lowered, she did not look carefully, and did not know who it was.

It was even more impossible for him to take someone else's hairpin.

Seeing the clothes that flowed with the water, Gui Qi didn't even bother taking off his shoes and socks. He immediately jumped into the water and chased after them to pick them up.

The stream ran up to his knees, chilled to the bone, and Cinnamon shivered.

After running two steps, the water flowed even faster. Seeing that the bamboo basket and clothes couldn't be retrieved, Gui Zhi sighed and was about to return to the shore when the mossy pebbles under his feet slipped and he fell onto the ground.

He was even carrying the Lin'er on his back.

Gui Qi subconsciously moved to pull the baby from her back to her chest. The moment she fell into the water, she raised both of her hands high up in the air and held Lin'er in the air.

The frightened cries of a baby instantly rang out.

Gui Zhi almost fell into the ice-cold water. The wound on his back that was just about to scab out completely split open from the impact of the stone ….

By the time she struggled out of the stream, the two men were long gone.

Jin Xiaolou stopped and took off the clothes on Gui Qi. Behind the clothes, which were drenched in blood, there were indeed traces of blood.

”Why are you so stupid!” Jin Xiaolou's nose soured as she reached out to hug Gui Zhi. Her head rested on Gui Zhi's shoulder, and his tears fell from the corner of his eyes onto Gui Zhi's wet clothes.

Gui Qi only felt a warmth on his shoulder. ”Lou, it's my fault. His clothes were also lost, and Lin'er was almost injured. I promise I won't do it again. ”

Jin Xiaolou held onto Gui Qi and walked forward, ”Who exactly is that person?”

Liu Yuyan was not Zhou Qing Xia, and would never intentionally look for trouble with Gui Qi, just to make them fall into the water, I am afraid they will not let this matter rest so easily.

Gui Qi shook his head. ”I've never seen them before. They shouldn't be from our village.”

”Maybe he's from Xiuyun Village.”

Behind him, Zhou Shuli spoke out.

”Xiuyun Village?” Jin Xiaolou turned her head and asked.

”This morning, we received over a dozen villagers from Xiuyun Village to settle down in our village.” Zhou Shuli followed closely and walked next to Jin Xiaolou, continuing, ”There's a plague in Xiuyun Village, and I heard that a lot of people died. Xiuyun Village is currently separating the villagers that weren't sick from one another, and placing them in a neighboring village to hide for a period of time.”

”So that's how it is.” Jin Xiaolou nodded, she vaguely remembered that when Liu Yuyan and Madame Wu were chatting, Liu Yuyan mentioned that she had a younger sister called Liu Jiedi.

He was three years younger than Liu Yuyan and had also married three years later.

At that time, it was the village of Xiuyun.

I'm afraid, that woman is Liu Yuyan's younger sister, Liu Jiedi.

”Lou, you're finally back. Something happened in your family!”

Jin Xiaolou looked up and saw Madame Ye carrying a basket and a piece of meat hurriedly walking towards him.

Madame Ye rushed over from the direction of the Jin Family, and panted heavily: ”Quickly go back and take a look, your uncles have turned your entire house upside down, they say they want to find some filth!”

Madame Ye paused for a moment, took in a few deep breaths, and said hurriedly: ”I was just about to send you some cured meat, but I bumped into them at the entrance. It's just that I'm still in there, so I can't stop them.”

Jin Xiaolou's heart tensed up, she knew that something was wrong and quickly ran back home.

In the courtyard, Madame Wu was leaning on a walking stick as she sat in the middle of the courtyard, speaking straightforwardly: ”Our Jin Family has produced such a shameful thing, it is truly embarrassing. Please make the decision, we will give our younger brother an explanation according to the law!”
