Chief Secretary He raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Why don't you report to the Chief of Jia and the Chief of Li? How can you go beyond Jia and Li and go directly to the county government to file a complaint?"
He pointed at Zhou Rushuang: "Besides, you also said that she was almost raped. Since it didn't turn out to be true, what are you doing here? Leave quickly!"
Chief Secretary He's stop at the gate of the yamen had already attracted the attention of the yamen officials. As soon as they heard that the Chief Secretary was chasing people away, they all ran out with sticks of water and fire, and raised their sticks to hit them on the heads and faces.
Zhao Cheng quickly protected Zhou Rushuang and avoided the attacks of the government officials. Even so, he still received several sticks on his body.
Ignoring the pain in his body, Zhao Cheng glared at the government officials, who instead laughed.
Master He sighed slightly, flicked his sleeves and said, "There are so many stupid men and women in the countryside!" He lifted his robe and stepped into the gate of the county government office.
Zhou Rushuang gently pulled Zhao Cheng: "Husband, let's go back. Just like what the adult said just now, I haven't been raped anyway... so let's forget it."
She was already very grateful that Zhao Cheng could bring her to the county government to complain. She felt that even if the world said her husband was not good, in her heart, Zhao Cheng was the best.
Zhao Cheng rubbed his painful shoulder, the anger in his heart could not be increased, but he also understood that forcing his way in would definitely not work. The Qinghe County Government did not care about this matter, even if he complained to the capital, it would be useless.
The final result may still be like what the official said just now, either go to the Jia chief and the li chief to complain and let them handle it; or settle the matter and suffer this embarrassing loss.
But Zhao Cheng didn't want to choose either of these two paths.
The man surnamed Li was so unscrupulous because he was the village chief and had close friendship with the village chiefs of several neighboring villages. Even if Zhao Cheng took Zhou Rushuang back to find the village chief, the result would still be the same, saying It might even lead to ridicule.
"Rushuang, don't worry, I will get this justice for you!" Zhao Cheng's tone was indifferent.
In the final analysis, Zhao Cheng felt that it was because he was not strong enough. If he were a county magistrate and his wife was humiliated, I am afraid that the man named Li would be arrested and thrown into prison that night.
No matter how cruel you are now, it's useless. If you want to seek justice, you can only make yourself stronger again!
Instead, Zhou Rushuang persuaded Zhao Cheng: "Husband, forget it. I will just be more careful in the future."
With thousands of thoughts in his mind, but not showing any of them on the surface, Zhao Cheng took Zhou Rushuang's hand and returned to the inn, asking the innkeeper to boil hot water and take a bath to wash away all the mud and dirt on his body.
The light blue skirt Zhou Rushuang was wearing was completely torn and had been rolled in the sewage. She could no longer keep it. Zhao Cheng sent the waiter from the hair shop to find a tailor at a ready-made clothing store and tailor-made several sets of clothes for Zhou Rushuang.
The tailor came to the door soon. Because she had to measure women's clothes, she was a woman in her forties. While measuring her clothes, she praised Zhou Rushuang's beauty.
Zhou Rushuang was embarrassed to be praised. She had never experienced such personal service and felt at a loss.
Zhao Cheng saw that she was a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted her and said: "Put on your new clothes later, I will take you to go shopping in the streets of Qinghe County. Then you have to tell me how you got there that day. The official media agency took me back."
The tailor quickly finished measuring the figure and said to Zhao Cheng: "Please wait a moment, young master and young lady. The clothes will be delivered to you soon from the store." Then he made another Wanfu and left the room.
At this time, only Zhao Cheng and Zhou Rushuang were left in the room, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a moment.
Even from Zhao Cheng's perspective, he had to admit that Zhou Rushuang was indeed beautiful. Although her figure was still very thin, as long as she kept up with her diet and nutrition, she would soon become plump.
But after all, Zhou Rushuang was only fourteen years old. Even though they were legally married, Zhao Cheng still couldn't help but treat her as a child.
"Cough..." Zhao Cheng coughed tactically, breaking the dull atmosphere.
"After the clothes are delivered later, let's go to Dashunzhai for lunch." Zhao Cheng felt that it was really good to have a few percent of dry stock in the restaurant. At least he didn't have to worry about eating, and it also saved a lot of trouble.
"No, husband, let's go home later. I washed all the rice yesterday and it should still be in the clay pot."
"And... and it costs a lot of money to live here, right? Our copper coins are still in the corner of the statue stand, and we didn't bring them with us." The husband was looking for a tailor to make clothes, and he was going to a restaurant to have a drink. Zhou Rushuang felt that the copper coins she had saved would not be enough, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Zhao Cheng had already made a decision at this time. He would not go back to the ruined temple in Zhoujiacun. He would take Zhou Rushuang to have dinner later and then go to Yashiro to look at the house. It would be best if he could move in today.
Living in Qinghe County, Rushuang will have a lot less trouble. For the time being, he will get rid of the covetous person named Li. When he settles down here, Zhao Cheng will prepare to deal with the person named Li.
The tailor was very efficient. He came back with two sets of clothes in less than half an hour.
"Little lady, these two sets are made of the best Tianluo cotton fabrics in our store. This sky blue interlocking brocade coat is paired with a lemon yellow brocade skirt and Baoxiang cloud-toe shoes. It is not only comfortable to wear, but also has a good fit at the hem. The lotus pattern carefully embroidered by our store is suitable for autumn and winter wear. It is perfect for a young lady to show her fairy-like temperament. "
"This is a lake green coat paired with a floor-length skirt with a sunset yellow Xuanji pattern. The style is the same, but the color and pattern are different. It is paired with gold thread embroidered beaded shoes.
. I wonder if the young master and the young lady are satisfied? "
Under the service of the tailor, Zhou Rushuang put on the sky blue coat and orange brocade skirt with loose flowers. She really looked luxurious and elegant. If she wears jewelry and goes back to Zhoujia Village, no one will dare to recognize her as the little girl who lives in a ruined temple.
The tailor came with a bronze mirror, held it in front of Zhou Rushuang and said, "Please take a look, little lady, you are really beautiful."
Zhou Rushuang glanced in the mirror, her face felt slightly hot, and her eyes turned to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Very good, it fits very well!"
"This coat, skirt and shoes cost two or three yuan each, so the total for the two pieces is four or two and six yuan."
When Zhou Rushuang heard the price, she was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly: "It's so much, husband, why don't you want it?"
"It doesn't matter. I think it's fine. Besides, we don't have any clothes. How can we get out? Will we live in an inn all our lives?" Zhao Cheng didn't care about this and took out his money to pay the bill.
Zhou Rushuang's eyes widened, and after the tailor left, she hurriedly closed the door: "Husband, where did you get so much money?"
She was a little anxious. Zhao Cheng was her husband and he must not go astray.
