Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Qingshui Village was quite lively that night.

The dogs in the village were barking one after another. Except for the sleepy children, everyone else got up and ran in groups to the house of the village chief, Old Man Huang and the two thieves Huang Dongyuan.

The village chief felt that it was inappropriate to do this in the middle of the night, so he forcefully closed the gate, and only then did everyone stop.

However, this incident was so horrifying that everyone did not go home immediately, but discussed it while walking.

"You two are just watching the fun." The village chief cursed and asked Li Yu and others to go home and rest.

"It's up to you how to deal with these two thieves." The village chief said to Li Yu, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course we'll send it to the county." Li Yu's eyes swept over the two dusty old men Huang and ignored their pleading eyes and spoke in a firm tone.

The village chief knew her temper and did not stop her. He just said, "Okay, then you should get up earlier tomorrow and prepare some things." Li, the county's yamen runner, had helped a lot and was a witness, so he could not be neglected.

Outside the village, Mrs. Zhang and the other women were waiting anxiously.

"Why hasn't he come back yet?" Mrs. Zhang was extremely anxious.

Woman: "Maybe something happened."

Just as she finished her words, a slap hit her face, "You unlucky thing, if you can't speak, just shut up."

The woman covered her face with a burning pain, and stammered, "I just noticed that a few houses had lights on. Mom, I'm a little worried."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened instantly, "Someone turned on the light? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Woman: "I thought...I thought they were just getting up for a normal nighttime sleep."

"Have you ever seen several families in a village getting up at the same time? No, I have to go and check it out, otherwise I will be worried." Mrs. Zhang instructed the woman, "Go to the village now. If anything happens, come back and tell me."

The woman agreed and ran to the village in a panic.

After walking out of Mrs. Zhang's sight, the woman's pace slowed down unconsciously.

She was a little afraid that her husband and father-in-law would be found and caught, and her mother-in-law would beat her. Her mother-in-law would say that she was a jinx because she was talking nonsense and that was what caused her husband and father-in-law to get into trouble.

If her father-in-law and husband were not arrested, she would still be beaten. Her husband would scold her for letting her imagination run wild and causing trouble.

Since she married into the Huang family, she was beaten almost every day.

The woman felt pain in several places on her body, looked into the distance and walked even slower.

She had an idea in her mind. She hoped that both her father-in-law and husband would be arrested so that she could have peace for a while.

At least it was only her mother-in-law who beat her, not all three of them.

A cool breeze blew, the woman shivered, and her mind suddenly became clear.

She looked up into the distance, paused, and quickened her pace.

*

The woman planned to look for Li Yu's house first. However, when she arrived at the village, she saw seven or eight people walking on the road with lanterns in their hands. She was so scared that she quickly hid behind a big tree.

Not far from the villagers, the woman could clearly hear everyone's conversation.

"Xiu Wen's wife is a powerful person. She even sent her own brother, grandfather, and uncle to jail."

"Stay away from her from now on."

"I think differently than you do. I think it's good for Xiu Wen's wife to be like this. After all, others have bullied her right in front of her. Do you really have to swallow your anger?"

"You think she's good, so how about letting your second daughter become her in the future?"

"I am willing. Xiu Wen's wife can make money. If my second daughter could be like her, I would wake up with a smile in my sleep."

The sound gradually became lower, and the woman pressed the bark, wondering what she was thinking.

Li Yu got up early and asked Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng to look after the house. She put the braised meat and vegetables that she had cut in advance into the cart and pushed it to the village chief's house.

This time, the four people who went to the county with her were Uncle Wu, Wang Dafu, Han He and Han Shui.

The village chief did not go because there was Li Yayi as a witness and there was no need for him to go on stage.

Li Yu laid out the meat, vegetables and steamed buns, and the village chief's wife also brought a few bowls of porridge. Everyone had a delicious meal and set off after the sun came out.

*

The second time he went to the county government office, Li Yu was familiar with the place.

Because there were so many witnesses and excuses were useless, Old Man Huang and Huang Dongyuan confessed their crimes and also gave up Boss Mei.

Since Boss Mei always called himself Huang in front of the Huang family, Li Yu didn't know that Boss Huang was Boss Mei. It was not until the people from the county government brought Mrs. Zhang, Boss Mei and their group from Huangzhu Town that Li Yu discovered that it was Boss Mei who was behind the trouble.

But the theft was carried out by Old Man Huang and Huang Dongyuan, the idea was proposed by Mrs. Zhang, and Boss Mei was at most an instigator. Therefore, Boss Mei did not receive any serious punishment. He was simply sentenced to a few days in jail. If he was willing to pay ten taels of silver, he would not have to go to jail.

Old Man Huang and Huang Dongyuan were given heavier sentences, with half a month in prison and ten strokes of the cane.

Mrs. Zhang was imprisoned for three days.

When she found out that her husband, her son, and herself were all going to jail, Mrs. Zhang felt like the sky was falling. She burst into tears in the hall, but the yamen runners and the county magistrate had seen a lot and did not sympathize with her.

The prisoner was dragged away, and Li Yu, Uncle Wu and others also left the county government office.

Before leaving, Li Yu was stopped by the county magistrate: "Did you bring any braised meat with you this time?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "I brought some."

The county magistrate stood up and said, "I want to buy some, can you sell it to me?" This person came to the county government twice, and both times it was because of the braised pork recipe. Her braised pork must be delicious to be remembered so much. His wife has had a poor appetite recently, and perhaps this braised pork can get her to eat some.

Li Yu was a little embarrassed. "The braised pork was made yesterday afternoon, and the quantity was not much. If you want to eat it, I will make some more after I go back today and bring it to you tomorrow, okay?"

The county magistrate waved his hand: "I don't mind much, as long as it's clean."

Li Yu had no choice but to take out the remaining two packages of braised meat and hand them to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate took out his purse and prepared to pay.

Li Yu stepped back and was not ready to accept it. It was just a few bites of braised meat, which didn't cost much money. It was better not to accept it and exchange it for a favor.

The county magistrate was unwilling to do so, and Li Yu had no choice but to accept it.

*

It was just noon when I came out of the government office.

The few of them had been here not long ago, so there was nothing much to see this time, so they went straight back to the village.

The braised meat prepared for everyone was bought by the county magistrate, leaving only a few steamed buns. Li Yu bought some other things on the way and gave them to everyone as lunch.

After returning home, each of them gave thirty coins as a thank you gift. This time was different from the last time. Last night, they stayed in the yard for half the night without knowing whether Old Man Huang and Huang Dongyuan would show up. This was considered a great favor.

Uncle Wu and his companions took the initiative to help this time, not for the sake of thanks, but because Li Yu was worthy.

Several people looked at each other and simultaneously rejected the copper coin handed over by Li Yu.

"We are all from the same village, it's just a matter of convenience, why are you being so polite?" Uncle Wu spoke on behalf of everyone: "If you do this, we won't dare to help you in the future."

"If you don't accept it, I won't dare to tell anyone about it if something happens in the future." Li Yu said, holding the paper bag containing the copper coins in his hand, motionless.

Uncle Wu knew that she would keep her word, so he had to accept it. Han Shui, Han He and Wang Dafu had no choice but to accept it as well.

This scene was seen by the villagers, especially Qian, who felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.

She didn't sell any snails today, but the little bitch Li Yu couldn't spend all the money she earned. It was so unfair.

Yang Qiuyue was almost jealous to death.

Recently, the villagers have been secretly laughing at her, saying that she is unlucky and insisted on separating from Li Yu, but in the end she got nothing.

Yang Qiuyue was so angry that she almost tore her handkerchief, but it was no use. And then something even more uncomfortable happened to her.
