”My husband, you are right.” Li Zhouzhou sighed, “Everyone in the village knows that Uncle Wang is pitiful, but they can’t help him. I just help out when I have time during the busy farming season.”

　　”I really hope Xiaotian can grow up quickly.”

　　Li Zhouzhou placed Uncle Wang’s hopes on Xiaotian. Gu Zhao knew that it was because of Xiaotian that Uncle Wang could endure and give in, working like a slave for the Wang family and being beaten and scolded.

　　But he didn’t say that.

　　When they got home, the porridge was ready. Li Da took the pot down first when he saw that no one had come back. When he saw the two of them coming back, he asked what happened. Li Zhouzhou said that he went to Uncle Wang’s house at the entrance of the village and happened to meet Wang Ergou.

　　Li Da frowned, “Did Wang Ergou bully you?”

　　”No, Dad, my husband protects me.” Li Zhouzhou said.

　　Li Da didn’t believe it. Gu Zhao’s small body meant that Zhou Zhou was the one protecting Gu Zhao.

　　Li Zhouzhou then said: “Really, Dad, I didn’t suffer any loss. My husband said he would sue Wang Ergou, what’s his name…” It was too long and he couldn’t remember clearly, so he couldn’t help but look at his husband.

　　”That Dali Civil Code, I lied to scare Wang Ergou.” Gu Zhao said.

　　Li Zhouzhou widened his eyes. Would his husband be in trouble if this nonsense got out?

　　”Wang Ergou’s family wouldn’t learn random things. His home is at the entrance of the village, and there’s only one other family some distance away. Even if you hear them quarreling, you wouldn’t be able to hear clearly what I’m saying.” Gu Zhao said.

　　Li Da looked at Gu Zhao differently, thinking that his son-in-law was both courageous and careful.

　　The family of three served themselves some porridge. Li Zhouzhou had chopped some sauerkraut before leaving. Now they were eating in the main room with an oil lamp on.

　　Gu Zhao ate and said, “It’s not a fabrication, it really happened, but there is no law. I heard it when I went to the prefecture and county to take the exam. Such cases are entirely up to the officials to make the decision.”

　　The original body had encountered this before, but the person who was bitten gave him silver, and the case was wrongly judged. The victim’s husband was beaten with twenty sticks and fined.
