The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

210 Beat Them Up

Butler Hu returned to the Hu family dejectedly. When Hu San and his mother saw Butler Hu’s appearance, they knew that something was wrong. Madam Hu said with a trembling voice, “Was Master killed by those unruly people?”

Butler Hu told Hu San and his mother what he had seen in the village. He squatted on the ground and hugged his head. “Master has been captured by those people. The magistrate officers were with them. Madam! Young Master, you don’t know, but that woman is actually a First-Grade Madam Protector. Master won’t be able to get away with it this time. Perhaps the county magistrate will be implicated by us. Madam, Young Master, you should pick up some valuables and run!”

Hu San shouted, “Nonsense! Nothing will happen to my father. Mom, go to the city to find Sister as soon as the sun rises!”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll look for your sister at dawn. Hu Cheng, prepare some banknotes and send them to me tomorrow.” Butler Hu could only nod and agree.

The next day, Butler Hu walked to the door and asked, “What’s going on? Why is it so smelly?” Butler Hu muttered and covered his mouth and nose as he opened the door. He saw that the door and the door were covered in feces. He couldn’t even walk out of the door. Butler Hu turned around in disgust and ran into the courtyard. “Someone! Come and wash the door.”

The bailiff opened the courtyard door of the village chief’s house. When he left the village entrance, he found that the village entrance was filled with villagers standing on both sides of the main road. Some were holding rotten vegetable stalks, while others were holding mud. They smashed Squire Hu and the servants with whatever they were holding. “Kill this dog, kill him.” Squire Hu was covered in mud and vegetable stalks. There are also angry villagers who rushed up and beat him up.

After traveling for half a month, she finally lay comfortably on the bed. Li Yu slept until dawn and got out of bed feeling refreshed.

Seeing Li Yu wake up, Yu Niang smiled and said, “Young Madam, Young Master Ah Qing and Master Xu have already brought the villagers to the county office. You don’t know, but there were many people here this morning. There were dozens of them! Some of the fields were occupied, and some of the families were bullied. Hu was beaten black and blue by the villagers! I heard that someone splashed feces at the Hu family’s door!”

Li Yu smiled and said, “He deserves to be beaten up after doing so many bad things! Let’s eat something and go to the county office to take a look!”

Yu Niang replied crisply, “Ah!”

Li Yu went to the lobby of the large inn and asked for two bowls of noodles. After a while, the shopkeeper brought the noodles over. After Li Yu and Yu Niang finished eating, the shopkeepoer walked to the table and bowed. “Madam, are you really selling your shop?

Li Yu nodded. The shopkeeper smiled and said, “I want to buy it. How much is it?”

“I don’t know the exact price either. I’ll sell it at the market price!”

“Madam said that a shop like mine can be sold for 120 taels of silver. Your shop’s location is better, so we can increase the price!”

Li Yu knew that this was probably the price. She said readily, “Alright, 130 taels of silver. If you want to buy it, follow me to the county office to transfer the money! Sigh! I don’t remember you saying that you wanted to buy a shop yesterday.”

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “To be honest, I didn’t intend to buy a shop at first. It was only when I saw that Squire Hu had been arrested this morning that I had the intention to buy it! The people from that family are all good-for-nothings and have caused a foul atmosphere in the town. Many people simply didn’t come to Clearwater Town for the market and would rather go to a town far away! Once he’s arrested, the town will immediately become lively!”

Li Yu stood up. “Oh! We’re going to Green Mountain now. Come with me!”

“Madam, please!” They went to the county office. Seeing that the entrance was surrounded by onlookers, Yu Niang said to Li Yu, “Young Madam, there are so many people watching the show. Shall we go take a look?”

The shopkeeper said to Li Yu, “Madam, feel free to look. I’ll help you park the carriage and come back to look for you!”

Li Yu also wanted to see how many people would sue the Hu family. She said politely, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Yu Niang parted the crowd in front and squeezed to the wooden fence at the entrance of the county office with Li Yu. There were 30 to 40 men of different ages kneeling in the hall. Li Qing stood in front of the hall and read the complaint in his hand.

There was a map of the sea and the sun hanging in front of the hall. Above it were the words “Mirror” and “Gold”. Li Yu thought that this was the same as the layout of the Qingchuan County Office, but the county magistrate was far inferior to Xiao Xi.

The county magistrate was looking at Squire Hu, who was kneeling in the hall, with a gloomy expression. He said quietly to himself, “Damn it, I just took your daughter as a concubine, and you used my name to do so many evil things and plundered so much money. It seems that I’m serving as an official on your behalf! You even caused such a big problem. Perhaps I won’t be able to keep my position. Indeed, beauty causes trouble!”

Li Yu watched for a while before leaving with Yu Niang. Outside, they saw the shopkeeper waiting. Together, they went to the office to settle the transfer paperwork. The innkeeper paid Li Yu 130 taels of silver.

Li Yu went to the brokerage house again and listed the four shops in Green Mountain City for rent. After doing this, Li Yu and Yu Niang walked around the streets and felt hungry again. The two of them went to eat something. Li Yu said to Yu Niang, “Why am I tired again? There’s nothing to see in the city. Let’s go back!”

Yu Niang saw Li Yu covering her mouth and yawning. “You look a little tired. You must have been tired these days.”

The two of them went to the carriage to retrieve the carriage and returned to Qingshui Town. Li Yu returned to the guest room and fell asleep.

Yu Niang looked at Li Yu, who was sleeping soundly, and thought to herself, “Young Madam has been sleepy these days; she’s just like when Sister Xiaoyu was pregnant. Could Young Madam be pregnant? It seems that I have to find a physician to take a look at Madam.”

Li Qing had only returned to Clearwater Town in the afternoon. When he entered the inn, he took the banknotes that the Hu family had compensated him with and went to look for Li Yu. Seeing Yu Niang sitting at the door of Li Yu’s guest room, he asked curiously, “Sister Yu Niang, is my sister resting?”

Yu Niang whispered, “Young Madam has been sleeping since she returned to the inn at the end of the afternoon. Young Master Ah Qing, go find a physician to take Young Madam’s pulse. I’m worried that Young Madam has been tired these days.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Li Qing became worried when he heard that. He hurriedly put the banknotes in his pocket and turned to leave.

When Li Yu woke up, she saw the physician waiting outside with Li Qing. Li Yu looked at Li Qing and saw that he didn’t seem to be feeling unwell. She asked curiously, “Ah Qing, are you feeling unwell?”

Li Qing helped Li Yu sit down and smiled. “Sister, I invited the physician over to take a look at you.”

Li Yu felt warm in her heart and looked at Li Qing reproachfully. “I’m not feeling unwell! I just feel a little tired!”
