Zhu Family Village
Yang Xiong kills his adulterous wife and decides to join the outlaws at Liangshan Marsh with Shi Xiu and Shi Qian. They pass by the Zhu Family Village along the way and run into some trouble there. Shi Qian steals the innkeeper's hen and the Zhus capture him. Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu go to the neighboring Li Family Village to seek help from Li Ying. Du Xing has become Li Ying's steward after his release and he introduces them to his master.
Li Ying writes an apology letter to the Zhus on behalf of Yang Xiong and his companions, requesting that they release Shi Qian, and asks Du Xing to deliver the letter. The Zhus refuse to release Shi Qian and they tear the letter and hurl abusive remarks at Li Ying. Du Xing returns and reports to his master. Li Ying is furious and confronts the Zhus personally. Li Ying is wounded in the arm by an arrow fired by Zhu Biao and escapes narrowly with the help of Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Du Xing. Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu go to Liangshan to seek help and Song Jiang leads the outlaws to attack the Zhu Family Village and succeed in rescuing Shi Qian.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or village:
“Our civility, England determines the style of, inasmuch as England is the strongest of the family of existing nations, and as we are the expansion of that people. It is that of a trading nation; it is a shopkeeping civility. The English lord is a retired shopkeeper, and has the prejudices and timidities of that profession.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
