Chapter 75: Can’t Stay Here Anymore

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone looked back and saw Madam Fang and her daughter standing behind the crowd. They did not know when these two people had returned. Beside them stood a young man who looked like he was from a rich family.

This person pretended to be handsome and waved his fan. He slowly walked over from the back of the crowd and stood beside Zhao Zhu. He raised his eyebrows and sized up Gu Yundong. “You’re just a little girl. How dare you deceive your neighbors with the name of the county magistrate? You’re quite bold.”

Chen Yulan hurriedly followed and introduced him to everyone. “This is the young master of the Liu family in the county. Young Master Liu and the young master of the county magistrate’s family are classmates and good friends. Yundong, you’re too bold. How dare you deceive the county magistrate? If the lord finds out, you’ll be beheaded.”

Gu Yundong did not know who this person was, but she did not expect Chen Yulan to introduce him.

‘Well, there’s no problem then.’

She looked at Young Master Liu. “Young Master Liu is only familiar with the county magistrate’s young master. How do you know who the county magistrate knows? Moreover, even if Young Master Liu and the county magistrate are on good terms, so what? Could it be that His Excellency will tell you if everybody he knows?”

“I…” Liu Wei was at a loss for words.

That seemed to make sense. In fact, he had only met the county magistrate a few times.

“Do you really know the county magistrate?”

Gu Yundong chuckled. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

She did not know the county magistrate, but she knew the prefecture magistrate.

Liu Wei was a little uncertain. Seeing that she did not look guilty at all, he hesitated again. “1’11 ask another day.” Actually, he was just saying. How could he really dare to say these words in front of the county magistrate?

Hu Qianlai and Jin Yuexiang were really speechless now. What should they do? This girl didn’t seem to be afraid at all. She couldn’t really be captured by the officials, right?

Liangzi was a son of theirs that they had when they were old. They always spoiled him, which was why he had such a reckless personality.

Zhao Zhu was the one who could see the situation clearly. He was straightforward. “Alright, five taels of silver then.”

Zhuangzi’s parents looked at each other and said in a low voice with a bitter expression, “Our family can’t fork out five taels of silver now. Can you give us more time? We’ll pool it together.”

“Sure.”

Hu Qianlai was unhappy. He rolled his eyes and said, “He’s giving you five taels of silver, but what did you do to our Liangzi? At most, I’ll give you one tael.”

Liangzi was the one who was beaten the most. When he heard this, he was a little unconvinced. “Father, Mother, I’m really not wrong. This bitch has a man. We were beaten up for the entire day yesterday.” manhua

Zhuangzi finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough, Liangzi. There’s no wild man. The one who captured us was this girl.”

“Bullshit.”

Gu Yundong lifted her shoes and Liangzi shouted in horror, “Give it to her, give it to her.” His mouth was burning with pain and he began to drool as he spoke.

Gu Yundong was satisfied. This person would not be obedient if she did not hit him.

They each paid five taels of silver, but Big Qian’s family did not come. Gu Yundong asked him to write an IOU. Then, he untied the rope and let them go.

Five taels of silver was not a small sum. The other villagers also saw that the four of them had spent a lot of money. If they wanted to offend her in the future, they would have to think twice.

This was Gu Yundong’s goal. She had to let them know that if they wanted to bully her family, they had to be prepared to spend money to avoid disaster.

In addition, she had deliberately mentioned the county magistrate. Even if these people did not believe her, they would have some scruples.

The crowd gradually dispersed. Gu Yundong was about to go back when she saw Chen Liang’s second daughter-in-law coming over. “Yundong, my father-in-law is back and wants you to go over.”

Gu Yundong knew that Chen Liang had gone out early in the morning. Now that he was back, he asked her to go over. Did he hear about what happened here?

She nodded and went to the village chief’s house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she heard Madam Fang’s voice. “I don’t dare to let such a family stay in my place anymore..”
