The three of them looked at the small paper bag that fell out of the big man's arms, and looked at each other. Chang Pingning saw Guo Bomo reaching out to stop her and Guo Zhongzhou, and he stepped forward to pick up the paper bag, opened it and smelled it.

"It's a laxative." Guo Bomo said.

When the ship was out at sea, there wasn't much for everyone to eat.Many people have various physical conditions. Guo Bomo once heard from his father that it is best to bring a pack of laxatives before boarding the ship for your convenience in case of emergency.

Therefore, as soon as Guo Bomo opened the paper bag, he smelled the smell of medicinal powder in the paper bag.

Guo Zhongzhou also heard his father talk about the crew bringing laxatives, and he looked puzzled: "Brother, has this person also gone to sea with you?"

Guo Bomo shook his head, but his thoughts were led by his younger brother, thinking about whether he had seen such people on other fishing boats in recent months.

Chang Pingning didn't understand what the laxatives that appeared in front of him had to do with going to sea. He was just afraid: "Fortunately, we found out early and he didn't put the laxatives on the stall."

Only then did Guo Bomo and Guo Zhongzhou react, and they quickly discussed taking people back to the village.

But Guo Bomo still had to find his boat mates who were returning to the shore together. If he returned to the village first and was seen by others, it might affect the price of the fish on their boat. ——The crew who landed early in the morning deliberately came ashore early to find buyers.

Guo Zhongzhou was the only one who didn't want to go back to the stall to greet the customers because of the dark circles under his eyes.On the contrary, he was happy to take this guy who was deliberately looking for trouble back to Guojiacun first.

But if Guo Zhongzhou takes him back alone, both Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo are worried that if the man wakes up on the way, it will be difficult for Guo Zhongzhou to subdue him alone.

"Why don't you let your father and second brother escort him back together?" Guo Bomo's eyes fell on Guo Dayong in the distance.

Guo Zhongzhou nodded: "With dad here, there will definitely be no problem!"

In this way, Chang Pingning returned to the stall again, found the father-in-law of the stall next door, and whispered to him about the matter: he needed his help to bring people back to the village to see the village chief for trial.

Guo Dayong agreed without hesitation and quickly packed up the stall and prepared to go back.

Chang Pingning looked at the back of his father-in-law and second brother walking towards the village with the strange man, and suddenly thought of the village chief's wife, Aunt Shuzhen.

Inexplicably, Chang Pingning felt a little uneasy.What if the village chief is also involved in this matter?

"If the village chief is biased, he will be sent to the official directly." Guo Bomo, standing next to Chang Pingning, seemed to know what Chang Pingning was worried about.

Chang Pingning turned his head in surprise and looked at Guo Bomo: "How do you know I'm worried about this?"

"It's all written on your face." Guo Bomo pinched Chang Pingning's cheek helplessly.Then he said goodbye to her quickly and said he was going to find other shipmates.

When Chang Pingning returned to her stall, she seemed to still be able to feel Guo Bomo's touch when he gently pinched her cheek.

Everything that happened in the woods seemed too much like a dream.Only the empty appearance of the father-in-law's stall next door, and the fact that there were only two people in his stall, Ruilan and himself, convinced Chang Pingning that Guo Bomo had returned.

Probably because of the discounts in the morning, Chang Pingning's stall attracted more customers at noon.Chang Pingning and Ruilan were busy all afternoon, walking back and forth without stopping to rest.

Business was good at noon.Therefore, after seeing off the last merchant at noon, Chang Pingning hurriedly packed up the stalls on both sides and prepared to go back to the village to see how the village chief planned to deal with this matter.

When Chang Pingning and Ruilan returned to the village, someone specifically greeted them and told Chang Pingning that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were taking their injured second brother to the village chief to ask for an explanation.Chang Pingning asked and found the place, which was in the open space in the center of the village.The two of them hurriedly ran from the entrance of the village to the open space in the village.

In the middle of the open space, there was the man who had come to her stall to cause trouble, tied up for fear that he would run away; the village chief and father-in-law Guo Dayong stood on both sides of the man; beside the father-in-law, there was also the mother-in-law, who was sadly Hugging his second brother.

The only thing that made Chang Pingning feel alive was the second brother being hugged by his mother-in-law.

Guo Zhongzhou tried hard to break free from his mother's arms, but to no avail, and he was getting more and more tired.

The village chief, standing in the center of the village, was discussing something with Guo Dayong with a tangled expression.

Ye Xiuying could probably hear some of it from the side, so she wailed loudly from time to time: "My son, it's no use being a mother. You were slapped with such a big black eye, and you were forced to have sex."

"Xiuying, please stop making trouble. The two villages can't meet each other when they look up. Why would you hurt the harmony between the two villages because of a trivial matter?" Someone around wanted to make peace.

"Fart." Ye Xiuying scolded the man fiercely, "First let me get a black eye, and then tell me that you are not on good terms with me!"

Upon seeing this, the village chief scolded loudly: "Father of the Dayong family, if you talk nonsense again, I will let you leave here."

"Zhongzhou, it's useless to be my mother..." Ye Xiuying lowered her head and wiped her tears.

"Oh, I'm not telling you this." The village chief didn't know how to communicate with Ye Xiuying, who was acting wildly. He looked at Guo Dayong, "Brother Dayong, let me tell you, your family also injured someone. If you are sent to the official, Maybe even if you each fight eighty points, you won't get much benefit. How about reconciling privately?
"Anyway, it hasn't caused any big problems. Why don't you each take a step back? What's the old saying? Ah, by the way, 'Forgive others when you have to,' don't you think so, brother Dayong?"

Guo Dayong turned his head to the side, and it seemed that he didn't want to listen to the village chief.

Chang Pingning, after listening to the village chief's words, wanted to step forward to argue, but his arm was pulled by someone.

Chang Pingning turned around and saw Guo Bomo.

"Daughter-in-law, don't go up yet. We have father and mother." Guo Bomo said softly, but later added, "You are my sister-in-law. If you argue for Zhongzhou like this, it will cause misunderstanding among the villagers."

Chang Pingning didn't understand: "But the second brother was also..."

"I know." Guo Bomo didn't wait for Chang Pingning to fully explain, "but others don't know. How they arrange it is their business."

Chang Pingning sighed, feeling a little sorry for Guo Zhongzhou.When he was thinking of a solution, he heard a cold snort.

Looking back, Chang Pingning saw Meng Xia.

When Chang Pingning saw Meng Xia, he still remembered what happened at Liu's house: the county magistrate's lady's troubles and Meng Xia's pretentiousness.Therefore, when Chang Pingning saw her, his expression was a little stiff.

But Meng Xia didn't notice this at all, maybe more of he didn't care.
