Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s

Chapter 32: 31. Lesson Chapter 32: 31. Lesson “Auntie, you and Uncle stay inside, I’ll go out and have a look,” Luo Shu said with a cold face.

“Luo Shu, you better not go out. Getting hit by a brick is no small matter,” Aunt Chen advised as she held onto Luo Shu’s arm.

“It’s fine, I’ll be careful,” Luo Shu said, patting Aunt Chen’s hand and pulling her arm back before walking out.

“Sister!”

“Big sister!” Luo Shan and Luo Zheng called out at the same time when they saw Luo Shu coming out.

Luo Shu waved her hand dismissively, walked into the kitchen, grabbed a handful of soybeans, and with a watchful eye from the others, proceeded towards the gate of the courtyard. Whether by luck or something else, none of the bricks falling down managed to hit Luo Shu.

“Creak!” With that, Luo Shu pulled the gate open.

The women outside paused for a moment, and the one with a black mole on her chin was the first to recover. Pointing at Luo Shu, she scolded, “You must be that cheap wretch mentioned on the paper, right? You’ve done so many unscrupulous deeds; aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? Don’t you feel ashamed to be alive?”

“We don’t want to be neighbors with someone as shameless and unfilial as you. Get out of Daru Alley, or else we will come and throw bricks at you every day until we kill you, you shameless wretch!”

“Your mother must have not tied her belt properly and stolen a man to give birth to you; you don’t deserve to be alive.”

“Let’s stone this menace to death!” someone shouted, directly picking up a brick from the ground and throwing it at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu’s gaze was icy, and chilling intent seeped from her eyes. Dodging the brick, she swiftly flicked her fingers several times toward the crowd. The soybeans she had grabbed from the kitchen shot out with a speed invisible to the naked eye.

“Ouch! What is this? Why can’t I move?”

“Goodness! I can’t move either; could it be that I’ve been cursed?”

“Did that cheap wretch use some sort of sorcery?”

Luo Shu walked forward at a measured pace, her cold gaze sweeping over the immobilized group, “Not being able to move is unpleasant, isn’t it?” Though she did not yet possess inner strength, she was nonetheless highly adept at acupuncture point sealing.

“What sort of sorcery did you use?” the woman with the black mole on her chin asked in fright.

Luo Shu gave her a cold look and said to Luo Shan, who had just come out, “Xiao Shan, go to the Public Security Office and report that there’s a mob making trouble, spreading rumors.”

“Okay!” Luo Shan nodded, still a bit shaken.

“Luo Shan, I’ll go with you,” Aunt Chen came out and said. Her son worked at the Public Security Office, and these people dared to risk injuring others by throwing bricks at her house—how could she swallow this affront?

“Aunt Chen, we are neighbors after all, how can you do this?”

“Indeed, if it weren’t for your harboring of this vile wretch…” The person felt a pain on their neck and then found they could no longer speak. They could only make unintelligible noises.

Seeing this, everyone else’s fear of Luo Shu grew stronger, and they dared not say another word.

“When you guys were throwing bricks into my yard earlier, did you not think about me being your neighbor? What if I got injured or even killed by those bricks?” Aunt Chen, unable to contain her fury, huffed, “Luo Shan, let’s go!”

“Big Sister, why can’t they move? Isn’t this what they call ‘acupuncture point sealing’ in the novels?” After Aunt Chen and Luo Shan had left, Luo Zheng asked with admiration. He had read a martial arts novel from a classmate, which mentioned this kung fu technique.

“Do you want to learn it?” Luo Shu asked with a smile. She couldn’t protect them forever; they would have to rely on themselves in the future.

“Yes, I want to learn! If I master it, I can help Big Sister fight the bad guys.” Luo Zheng nodded excitedly.

Luo Shu ruffled Luo Zheng’s hair, “I’ll teach you when you’re on winter break.”

“That’s great!” Luo Zheng jumped up joyfully.

The officers from the Public Security Office arrived at the scene shortly, and Luo Shu had already unsealed everyone’s acupuncture points by the time she heard their footsteps.

Aunt Chen, accompanied by the officers, walked into the courtyard, pointing at the bricks on the ground, “Officer Comrade, look at this, these bricks were all thrown by them. My old man is not in good health, what if this frightens him into something serious?”

“Did you throw these bricks?” one of the officers, who looked somewhat fierce, asked the group of women.

The women were already terrified by the time they saw the officers arrive. They had never experienced such a situation before.

“Speak!” the officer barked.

“Yes… it was us…” All the women were jolted by the shout and replied tremblingly. They were already regretting their actions to the point of feeling sick to their stomachs.

“Why did you do this?” the officer continued to probe.

The women, frightened, exchanged glances and pointed at the woman with a dark mole on her chin, saying, “Li Dae led us here.” They had all come together because they were told by Li Dae of someone extremely shameless living in their alley, and Li Dae had also shared the content of the paper with them.

“Li Dae, explain yourself,” the officer said sternly, looking at her.

“I… I… when I went to buy vegetables this morning, someone handed me this paper.” Li Dae took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to the officer, shivering.

The officer glanced briefly at the content on the paper, and with a slap, placed the paper on the stone platform, “Do you realize this is spreading rumors? Creating and spreading rumors can get you detained.”

Hearing about detention, Li Dae was so scared that her legs began to shake, “The paper isn’t mine… I got it from the Li family couple who sell vegetables…” She had received the paper while buying vegetables that morning from a young girl who had stood next to the Li family couple. She was illiterate, and only knew what was written on the paper after showing it to her son when she got home.

“Do you know where the Li family couple is from?” the officer asked in a stern voice. He had been specifically instructed by their squad leader to handle this matter to Luo Shu’s satisfaction, as Luo Shu treated illnesses and was also scheduled to see their leader’s son the next day. If he did a good job with this case, perhaps his own position might be subject to change.

“I… I know… they are from Luo Family Village…” Li Dae quickly replied. She had chatted with the Li family couple before, so she knew where they were from.

The officer nodded and instructed his subordinates, “These people have gathered to cause trouble and spread rumors, take them all away.” In reality, there were no regulations yet on the handling of rumor-mongering, so the most they could do was to educate them.

“No… don’t arrest us…” The women paled when they heard they were going to be taken away. They could never have imagined that the situation would become so serious.
