Chapter 632: Chapter 633: Who is Her Son?

After the Luo Family arrived, the Ge Family elders also came up.

Breathless, Fu Shiyin hurriedly followed, and upon settling down, she saw at the entrance of Su Shu’s house, a woman in her thirties or forties clinging onto the gate of Su Shu’s courtyard, yelling.

“I’ve already returned the rice to you, why won’t you return my son to me? Even if you are officials, you can’t bully us common folk like this! It’s preposterous to hold onto someone else’s son and not return him! Everyone, please help me get justice!”

With a look of disgust, Fu Shiyin frowned and walked in, seeing Su Shu at the entrance, her face ashen.

Not far behind her, three children looked over anxiously and nervously.

“What’s going on?” Fu Shiyin asked.

Su Shu replied coldly, “Don’t know where this crazy woman came from, barging in and insisting on taking her son away, when there’s no son of hers in my house. She’s making a scene without any reason.”

The woman beside them, perhaps because she saw there were many people around, or for some other reason, suddenly raised her voice and pointed past Su Shu as she yelled.

“Who’s making a scene? Who’s being unreasonable! My son is him, by what right do you keep my son, I’m his real mother! It’s just grain! Back then, you took my son away for just five pounds of grain, I’ve given you back fifty pounds, now give me back my son!” As she spoke, the woman tried to surge forward.

Luo Gang, tall and with long arms, quickly stepped in front of her and pulled her away.

“This is someone else’s house, what are you barging in for!” he scolded in a low voice.

“Return my son! You vile woman who devours people without spitting out their bones! If you don’t give me my son back, I… I… I’ll fight you!”

The woman lowered her head, appearing to search for something, and suddenly, she bent over, picked up a fist-sized rock from the entrance of the courtyard and violently hurled it at Su Shu.

“Be careful!”

Su Shu, who could have dodged, was momentarily distracted by the body and voice that suddenly rushed past her from behind.

The rock grazed and struck Lu Tong, who had rushed forward to push Su Shu out of the way.

Thump!

Lu Tong staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, his hand clutching his bleeding head, the intense pain rendering his mind completely blank with shock.

Enraged, Luo Gang dragged the frenzied woman out and kept a firm hold on her.

After being pushed aside, Su Shu steadied herself and turned around to see Lu Tong with a head injury. She swiftly ran over, took a quick look, then turned and rushed inside the house. She quickly brought out clean gauze, treated the wound briefly, and in a panic, entrusted Xiao’ai and Xiaopang to the Ge Family elders. Then, she urgently took Lu Tong down the mountain to find Wang Xie.

As for the mad woman shouting continuously behind her, Su Shu had no time to spare her any attention.

She carefully cleaned the wound, stitched it up, and bandaged it.

After accompanying Lu Tong at the Military Region Hospital to get an anti-inflammatory injection, Wang Xie came to re-examine the wound and said, “It’s fortunate it wasn’t a direct hit. It was a cut from the edge of the stone. You might experience some swelling and pain in the next couple of days. Be careful not to get it wet, and we’ll look into it again after the inflammation subsides.”

“Is there any internal injury?”

“No, rest assured. The external wound has been well sutured. It might hurt a bit after the anesthetic wears off. Don’t scratch, don’t itch, don’t get it wet, just be careful. Be mindful of your diet as well,” Wang Xie advised.

Only after hearing this did Su Shu feel relieved.

Before Wang Xie had a chance to ask what happened, Su Shu knew he would inquire, so she preemptively explained.

“Early this morning, a crazy woman showed up at my house, gave me fifty pounds of rice, and insisted on taking her son away from my place. It was totally nonsensical. At the slightest disagreement, she picked up a rock, and Lu Tong was injured trying to shield me.”

“There’s such a person? Among those three kids at your house, who’s her son?” Wang Xie asked.
