Chapter 31: Thirty, splash dirty water Chapter 31: Thirty, splash dirty water “Luo Shu! Luo Shu! Open the door quickly!” Luo Shu had just finished getting dressed when she heard Aunt Chen’s voice tinged with urgency from outside the door.
Moving forward, she opened the door and saw Aunt Chen’s distressed expression, Luo Shu was sowhat surprised, “Auntie, what happened?”
“Take a look at this, I had just gone out for a walk with the old man when I found this paper posted at our doorstep.” Aunt Chen handed a piece of paper to Luo Shu. She herself couldn’t read, but her old man could. After she learned what was written on the paper, she couldn’t even think about continuing their walk and imdiately dragged her husband back ho.
Luo Shu took the paper and glanced briefly at the content, her expression turning cold instantly. The paper slandered her, saying her mother was promiscuous and had hooked up with a wild man to give birth to her. It also accused her of being unfilial, injuring the father who had raised her with hard work, as well as the stepmother who treated her as her own. Worse still, it claid she had stolen money from her own family to shac up with a wild man. This had not only left her family in a mountain of debt but even led to her elder sister marrying an idiot because of her.
“I don’t know which bastard did this, ruining a girl’s reputation so viciously, doing such immoral things, not afraid of being struck by lightning.” Aunt Chen cursed angrily. She was aware of the situation of Luo Shu and her siblings, and after so many days of interaction with Luo Shu, she knew very well what kind of person Luo Shu was. Besides, if it weren’t for Luo Shu, how could her husband’s illness have healed so quickly?
Luo Shu clenched the paper tightly in her hand, a cold light flickering in her eyes. Without guessing, she knew it must have sothing to do with Wang Liying and her daughter. Since they refused to let things go, she would not hold back against them anymore.
“What should we do about this? A girl’s reputation is so important.” Thinking about Luo Shu going out and being pointed at by others, Aunt Chen was anxious and frustrated.
“Auntie, don’t worry about , I’m fine. Didn’t you have sothing you wanted to tell yesterday?” Luo Shu changed the subject.
“You’re really carefree, do you know how much a ruined reputation can affect you?” Aunt Chen shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply. She had seen with her own eyes soone being driven to hang themselves because of such gossip.
Luo Shu smiled faintly, feeling so warmth in her heart, “Auntie, I know who did it, and I have a way to solve it, don’t worry.”
“Do you really have a way?” Aunt Chen asked, sowhat incredulously.
Luo Shu smiled and nodded, “Where’s Uncle?”
“He’s in the room brooding,” Aunt Chen gestured toward her house. As soon as her old man saw the content on the paper, he was so angry that he coughed violently. She was worried that he might beco ill, so she sent him to rest in the room.
“I’ll go see Uncle, he shouldn’t be getting angry with his health right now,” Luo Shu said, already walking towards Aunt Chen’s house.
Seeing Luo Shu’s concern for her husband, Aunt Chen smiled appreciatively and followed, “Eh? Luo Shu, your foot’s healed?” It shouldn’t have healed so quickly, even if it was just a sprain, right?
Luo Shu smiled and nodded, “Yes, actually, it was mostly better by yesterday.” After soaking for a whole night in Spiritual Spring, not to ntion a re sprain, even a broken bone would have healed.
“Sister! Auntie!” Luo Shan and Luo Zheng ca out of the house and called out when they saw Luo Shu and Aunt Chen heading inside.
“I’m going to see how Uncle is doing, Xiao Shan, you go make breakfast, I’ll be there shortly,” Luo Shu paused, turning back to speak.
“What’s wrong with Uncle? Is he feeling unwell?” Luo Shan asked worriedly. Since Aunt Chen and her husband had always been kind to her and her brother, she regarded them as her own family.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry, Uncle is in good health,” Aunt Chen waved it off cheerfully.
“Older sister, I just heard inside that soone has been harming your reputation, is that right?” Luo Zheng asked. He had overheard a bit when he woke up to the older sister talking with Aunt Chen.
Luo Shan stopped her steps towards the kitchen and looked at Luo Shu, “Sister, what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, I’ll handle this matter. Xiao Zheng, go brush your teeth and wash up, don’t be late for school,” Luo Shu said, then stepped into the house. She had already figured out how to deal with Wang Liying and her daughter, determined to make them pay a price this ti.
“Luo Shu, you’re here; I’m alright, cough, cough, cough…” Uncle Chen coughed. Such a good child, and yet soone dared to slander her, truly immoral.
Luo Shu smiled and walked forward, sitting opposite Uncle Chen, “Uncle, give your hand, I’ll take your pulse.”
Uncle Chen extended his hand, “Luo Shu, you’re not in trouble, are you?” He was concerned that Luo Shu might be overwheld. What girl doesn’t care about her own reputation? Once it’s ruined, it’s a matter for a lifeti.
Luo Shu shook her head with a smile and withdrew her hand, “Uncle, your health is nearly recovered, just a little more conditioning and you’ll be fine, but you still need to go out and exercise more.”
“Really? That’s wonderful! Luo Shu, auntie doesn’t know how to thank you enough,” Aunt Chen said happily. Now that the old man was better, she wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
“Auntie, don’t be so formal with ; if you really want to thank , make so braised pork to eat,” Luo Shu said with a wink.
“You child! Alright! Auntie will make you braised pork in a mont,” Aunt Chen said with a laugh, patting Luo Shu, “Luo Shu, I won’t stand on ceremony with you either; actually, there’s sothing I really need your help with, I felt bad to ask you yesterday when I saw your foot was injured.”
“Auntie, just tell ,” Luo Shu said with a smile.
“You’ve t Zhihe before, haven’t you?” Seeing Luo Shu nod, Aunt Chen continued, “Actually, it’s like this: Zhihe’s leader’s son has co down with a strange illness, they’ve been to hospitals in the city, but they can’t diagnose it. So, Zhihe wants to ask if you could go and take a look, would that be okay?”
“Luo Shu, don’t agree if you’re not confident,” Uncle Chen cautioned. He wanted to help his son, but he couldn’t force Luo Shu.
Luo Shu nodded her head and thought for a mont, “Why don’t I go and take a look first.” She had great confidence in her dical skills and also wanted to use this opportunity to resolve the household registration issues for her and her siblings.
Once their household registrations were separate, she could do what she wanted to do, and the futures of Luo Zheng and Luo Shan wouldn’t be controlled by Luo Jiansen.
“Then I’ll go talk to Zhihe in a mont,” Aunt Chen said joyfully. Her gratitude towards Luo Shu deepened in her heart.
“Bang!” A brick was thrown from outside into the yard.
Aunt Chen was startled and hurried outside while cursing loudly, “Which ill-bred brat did this? Don’t you know this can take soone’s life?”
“Bang!” Another brick was thrown in, scaring Aunt Chen back inside the house.
