The farce ended with the arrest of the village chief and his family. Zhao Tiezhu comforted Han Xiuying and helped check her injuries. Once he was certain she was fine, he headed home with Zhan Xiaobei.
"Brother Tiezhu, living as a woman alone really is tough. It’s a good thing Sister-in-law has you to look out for her, or she would surely have faced even more danger!" Zhan Xiaobei remarked. He thought of Wang Cuilian, who was even more beautiful than Han Xiuying, possessing a mature and intellectual charm. Had it not been for Zhao Tiezhu, she would likely have been harmed by others.
Zhao Tiezhu shook his head and said, "She suffered a lot of grievances before I returned. I’ve sworn that I won't let her suffer like that ever again." He spoke with such unwavering resolve that he left no room for anyone to challenge him.
