The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

205 The Tyrant Hu Family

“Not good. My brother and his wife have passed away, leaving behind two children. The family can’t even eat well.” Xu Bin took a step forward and said softly, “When my wife and I returned home with the children last year, we realized that the fields had been occupied by Squire Hu’s family. It’s Young Master Hu whom you’ve beaten up. Xiaoyu, quickly take your brother and leave! Their family is rich and powerful, and they have the backing of the Green Mountain County Magistrate. They’re very powerful. We can’t afford to offend them!”

Li Yu asked in confusion, “Uncle Xu, don’t you have a title deed for your fields?”

“Yes, of course, I do!” Xu Bin’s expression changed as he urged anxiously, “Xiaoyu, let’s go! They’re coming!”

Li Yu turned around and saw more than ten workers carrying hoes in their hands. They had already run to the banyan tree. Hu Bao pointed at Li Qing and said, “It was that kid and that woman who hit Young Master. They even broke my leg and Hu Wei’s wrist!”

More than ten workers walked towards Li Yu and the others with hoes. Li Qing shouted, “What are you doing in broad daylight?”

The foreman said to Li Qing, “If you kill my young master, we won’t have a good time when we go back. Either you come with us to the Hu family or let us beat you up!”

Li Yu went forward to look at the long-term workers and sneered. “What a joke! That dog just fainted from the pain. Besides, what right do you have to work in those fields? Who hired you? Why didn’t I know that you have been hired to work on my family’s land? Go, call Squire Hu over. Return the food that has been planted in my family’s real estate to me, and I’ll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I’ll go to the government office to sue you for seizing the farmland!”

The chief worker said, “You don’t have to tell us. We’re just hired by Squire Hu!”

At this moment, Hu Wei drove the carriage over and shouted to a few workers, “Quickly carry Young Master and Brother Leopard onto the carriage. I’ll go back and ask Master to send someone over to destroy the village!”

Li Yu shouted, “Don’t you dare! I’ll leave the lackey for you first. Go back and report! I’ll wait for you here. See if you dare to smash the village.”

Young Master Hu had already woken up. He gritted his teeth and scolded, “Stupid bitch! Don’t you dare run! If you flee, I’ll smash the entire village!”

The villagers looked at Li Yu and her brother fearfully.

Li Yu jumped in front of the carriage like lightning and grabbed Young Master Hu. She slapped him twice and said coldly, “If you continue to be so dirty-mouthed, I’ll knock all your teeth out!”

Young Master Hu trembled in fear, and a foul smell spread out. He immediately cried, “Go, go back and call my father!”

An old woman in the village looked at Li Yu and her brother with resentment. “Xiaoyu, Ah Qing, you guys don’t know your priorities. You’re killing us!”

Xu Bin looked at the old woman and said, “Old Madam Chen, you’re wrong. The Hu family snatched our fields. How can you blame Xiaoyu and Ah Qing?”

“How can we not blame them? If they leave, we’ll be the ones suffering when the Hu family comes!” The few people who spoke looked at Li Yu with resentment. They were afraid that Li Yu and her brother would cause trouble and leave, leaving them to suffer.

At this moment, someone else came. It turned out to be the two families in Li Yu’s field. The two brothers carried woodcutters and ran to Li Yu, panting. They bowed to Li Yu and said, “Madam Li, you’re back?”

Li Yu smiled and said, “I’m back. I originally said that I would come back last year to take back the fields. I had too many things to do and couldn’t take time off. I happened to be free this year, so I came to take a look!”

The tenant, Chen Shi, said in a low voice, “Madam. Li, you don’t know this, but several families in West Mountain Village and East Mountain Village have fled and returned late. Their fields have been occupied by the Hu family. There are more than ten families in the Xu family and the Liu family… The Liu family was so angry that they went over to reason with them but they were even beaten up by that big servant of the Hu family. Their legs are still limping! If the villagers hadn’t stopped them to plead for mercy, I’m afraid they would have lost their lives.”

Chen Shan also said angrily, “Also, Hu San is a lecher. Every time he comes to the village, the girls and women in the village don’t dare to come here. As long as they look a little decent, he will bully them. A few days ago, a young couple from town came to the market and the woman was snatched by him into the Hu family. I wonder what happened to her after that!”

When Li Qing heard this, she said angrily, “Join forces and sue him! Do they have any regard for the law? Why doesn’t the county magistrate care?”

Chen Shan smiled bitterly and said, “Young Master Ah Qing, we’re just digging up food from the ground. How would we dare to sue him? You don’t know that the surname of the county magistrate is Zhu, and he’s different from the previous one. I heard that he’s a distant relative of the Hu family. The Hu family gave him their youngest daughter as a concubine. Ever since the Hu family and the county magistrate were connected by marriage, the Hu family moved from the countryside to Clearwater Town and started to be domineering in Clearwater Town!”

Chen Shan sighed and continued, “Originally, those families who had their fields snatched wanted to wait for your brother-in-law to come back to collect the land so that they could take the opportunity to take back the fields. Unexpectedly! Mr. Zhou hasn’t returned, so everyone doesn’t dare to look for the Hu family!”

Li Yu thought to herself, No wonder the Hu family dared to do such a thing. It turned out that they had County Magistrate Zhu as their backer. More than a dozen families in West Mountain Village and East Mountain Village had their fields snatched away. What about the other places? Just thinking about it made her heart turn cold!

Chen Shi smiled and said to Li Yu and her brother, “Madam Li, Young Master Ah Qing, go to my house and rest for a while. Hide from the Hu family so that you won’t suffer!”

Li Yu smiled faintly. “Thank you for your kindness! It’s quite troublesome to walk around. We’ll wait for the Hu family here!”

Seeing that Li Yu didn’t seem to care, Chen Shi and his brother were relieved. They stood quietly at the side and waited.

Hu Wei drove Young Master Hu and Hu Bao back to the Hu family in Clearwater Town. He helped Third Young Master Hu enter the door like a lost dog and shouted in panic, “Master, Master, Young Master’s hand was broken and two of his front teeth were broken. Ah Bao and I also had our arms and legs broken!”

The fat Squire Hu was lying on a recliner in the garden with a look of enjoyment. He was snoozing and enjoying the meticulous service of the maidservant. When he heard Hu Wei’s shout, he thought he had heard it wrongly. He said to the maidservant, “Did you hear what Hu Wei said?”

The maidservant hurriedly knelt down and said, “Master, Hu Wei said that Young Master’s hand was broken. Hu…”

“Damn it.” Squire Hu kicked the servant girl and ran out of the garden. He saw his son, Hu Wei, limping in and being supported.

When Third Young Master Hu saw Squire Hu, he raised his broken hand that Li Yu had stepped on, and he started crying. His front teeth were missing as he cried, “Dad! I’m going to die from the pain. Hurry up and kill that bitch and that dog. Chop them up and feed them to the dogs!”

Hu Wei knelt down and kowtowed. “Master, please spare us! We really can’t beat those people. They said they wanted to see you and are still waiting for you in West Mountain Village!”
