The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn



171 Here Comes the Troublemaker

The three of them exchanged pleasantries again. Chu Qing wrote the contract and handed it to Zhou Jia. He smiled and said, “Mr. Zhou, the residence that His Majesty rewarded Madam has just been renovated. The scenery in the residence is very good. Many people in the capital want it!”

Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Thank you for telling me, Shopkeeper Chu.”

Chu Qing sent Li Yu and his wife back to Ten Families Alley. Just as they entered the house, Xiaoyu and Ah Wei came up to report, “Young Master, Young Madam, an hour ago, two sissy men said that they were sent by the emperor. They even said that they were here to give Madam Protector of the First-grade a gift. Ah Wei and I thought they were liars! Later, we saw them carrying two boxes in and putting them in the courtyard. That’s why we didn’t chase them away.”

Xiaoyu and Ah Wei looked at the two of them in surprise. “Young Master, Young Madam, why would the emperor give something to our family? Who’s the Madam Protector?”

“Fortunately, the two of you didn’t chase them away. Otherwise, you would have been beheaded!” After scaring the two of them, Zhou Jia pointed at Li Yu and smiled at them. “Your Young Madam will be the Madam Protector from today onwards. Come and meet her.”

Xiaoyu and Ah Wei looked at Li Yu in a daze. Li Yu pushed Zhou Jia angrily. “Don’t scare them. It’s just a title.”

“Let’s go see what Madam First-grade’s gown looks like first.” Zhou Jia held Li Yu’s hand and walked toward the inner courtyard.

“Zhou Jia, you bastard, how dare you get someone to harm my aunt?”

“Zhou Jia, come out quickly. No wonder Grandmother called you a wolf cub. Come out.”

A series of curses sounded from outside the courtyard. A few people barged in aggressively. The person in the lead was a rough woman and two wretched men. Behind the three of them were a man and a half-grown youth. A few people barged in. “Son of a bitch, your mother didn’t abide by the rules of a wife and stole someone. You found someone to harm my grandaunt. I’ll beat you to death, you bastard.” As the woman cursed, she reached out and rushed toward Zhou Jia. She wanted to scratch Zhou Jia, but Zhou Jia dodged and grabbed the woman, pushing her to the ground.

“I’ll beat you to death.” The two men raised the wooden sticks in their hands and hit Zhou Jia. Li Yu rose from the ground and kicked the two men to the door.

The man and young man following behind were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks. The woman fell to the ground and cursed in the most vicious words, “God struck you down, you’ll die without descendants, bastard…”

“You shrew, your entire family is doomed. Your entire family would have no descendants. Even if you have a son, he’s half a father and half a mother…” Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves and started scolding her. Li Yu stood there and was dumbfounded. Xiaoyu’s lethality was not bad either!

“Shut up.” Li Yu walked up to the woman, picked her up with one hand, and threw her out of the courtyard. She said coldly, “Get lost. I’ll break your legs next time.” Then, the two men at the door were also thrown out by Li Yu.

Zhou Jia walked up to the man behind and grabbed his neck. He shouted, “Zhou Yu, Zhou Xin, you hired these people to cause trouble, right?”

Zhou Yu’s neck turned red as he shouted, “My mother said that you were the one who hired someone to harm her. Why are you so vicious? My mother is a weak woman who lives in the inner courtyard. How did she provoke you? Do you think he will take you back to the old residence just because you harmed my mother? You didn’t get any advantage and even let that bitch from Sophora Flower Alley take advantage of you.”

“I, Zhou Jia, have never thought of returning to the old residence. Hahaha…” Zhou Jia stared at Zhou Yu and laughed maniacally. “Your mother is a weak woman. What a joke. Let me tell you, your mother is a vicious woman. She deserves everything that happened today.” Zhou Jia pushed Zhou Yu away and said coldly, “You better get lost with these people. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”

Zhou Xin pounced in front of Zhou Jia, clenched his fists, and roared, “You bastard, mother slept with …”

With a bang, Zhou Xin was kicked out by Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia pointed at Zhou Yu and shouted, “Get lost. If you want to know what kind of person your mother is, go to the government office and ask. If you dare to come again, it won’t be so easy to leave.”

Zhou Xin lay on the ground and roared, “Zhou Jia, you’re not human. You…”

Ah Wei splashed a basin of slop on the people on the ground and shouted, “Get lost. If you come again, I’ll beat you to death.”

“Wretches, just you wait. We’ll come again.” The Zhou brothers and the three people were covered in greasy slop and emitting a foul smell. The few of them were furious and got up to curse as they ran.

Looking at the few of them fleeing in a sorry state, Xiaoyu looked at Ah Wei and gave him a thumbs up. “Good job, Ah Wei. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Ah Wei carried the bucket and looked up at Xiaoyu with a smug smile. “Sister-in-law, I originally wanted to splash feces. I was afraid that Young Madam would find it disgusting, so I changed to slop.”

Xiaoyu swept the slop at the door and fanned it under her nose with one hand. “Fortunately, you didn’t use feces. Otherwise, I would have fainted from the smell.”

Li Yu looked at the two of them and smiled at Xiaoyu. “Xiaoyu, close the courtyard door. We’ll order more food for Ah Wei tonight.”

Ah Wei rubbed his head in embarrassment and chuckled. “Young Madam, there’s no need to add food. Brother Ruyi and the others will laugh at me for being a foodie.”

Li Yu and Zhou Jia returned to the inner courtyard and placed the imperial edict in the small ancestral hall. When they returned to the central room, they saw two bentwood chests in the central room. Zhou Jia opened one of the chests and looked at the luxurious gown inside. He smiled at Li Yu and said, “Yu’er, I originally wanted to earn you an honorary title. I didn’t expect His Majesty to bestow you with an even better one. I’m sorry!”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia’s helpless expression and said coquettishly, “Just hand over your salary in the future.”

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu. The two of them hugged warmly for a while. Zhou Jia rubbed the top of Li Yu’s head lovingly. “Yu’er, I’m so lucky to be able to marry you.”

Li Yu kissed Zhou Jia and said gently, “Me too.”

“Yu’er…” Zhou Jia muttered. He carried Li Yu and walked toward the room.

After dinner, Zhou Jia said to Ruyi and the others, “Ruyi, Zhao Cai, and His Majesty gave us a house and manor. Let’s go and see what it’s like.”

Ruyi and Zhao Cai looked at Zhou Jia with wide eyes and smiled. “Young Master, Young Madam has really been conferred the title of First-grade Protector!”

Zhao Cai rubbed his nose and winked at Zhou Jia. “Young Master, you’re in trouble! When will you catch up to Madam’s level?”

Zhou Jia patted each of their heads. “Two greedy fellows, it’s fine as long as you have a First-grade Madam at home. Do you want to tire your young master to death? Remember to send the letter to Ah Qing and Uncle Zhou tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, Master,” they replied in unison.
