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

It was noon, and most of the men in Qingshui Village were working in the town. The women were basically at home. Some were resting with their children, some were busy cleaning the yard, and some were making shoes.

Old Lady Wang’s wife, Ms. Lin, is one of the shoe makers. Their family has been doing much better recently, so she specially selected good materials and planned to make the soles of the shoes with more layers to make them more durable!

Just as she inserted the needle into the sole of her shoe, Lin heard her mother-in-law, who was resting in the next room, ask, "Daughter-in-law, is there anyone calling out outside? I think I heard Xiu Wen's wife's name?"

Lin stopped what she was doing, walked to the door and listened carefully. Surprisingly, Li Yu's name was indeed there.

"Mom, yes, people outside are talking about Xiu Wen's wife."

"What are you talking about?"

“It seems like bullying…” Lin’s face changed, “Mom, the words outside are not nice.”

"What?" Old Lady Wang's voice suddenly became louder, and then Lin saw Old Lady Wang rushing out of the house in a hurry.

Lin was startled for a moment, then hurriedly followed, shouting as she walked: "Mom, walk slowly, be careful not to fall."

Old Lady Wang kept walking, "No, I have to go and see as soon as possible. Xiu Wen's wife is our big customer. If anyone dares to bully her, I will never forgive him."

Fearing that Li Yu might be in trouble, Old Lady Wang rushed outside in a hurry. When she looked closely, she saw a man being pushed by Uncle Wu and Wang Dafu, and the villagers were surrounding him in a circle.

Yang Qiushan had never regretted so much. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come. The new house and Li Yu were both there, so why should he rush to see them? Now, not only was he caught, but he was also paraded through the streets and scolded!

After thinking about it, it's all my mother and Qiuyue's fault. These two people didn't take good care of the man in the family and they just thought of vicious ideas every day. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up like this!

"Why don't you say anything? Speak quickly!" Seeing that Yang Qiushan was pretending to be dead, the village chief's wife waved a branch in front of him.

Yang Qiushan's expression was ugly, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he opened his mouth quickly.

"I am Yang Qiuyue's brother. Qiuyue and my mother wanted to seize Xiuwen's wife's property, so they instigated me to bully Xiuwen's wife and give her a reputation of being unfaithful to her husband, so that she could only marry me as a concubine. My mother and Qiuyue also said that after our family seized Xiuwen's wife's property, we would sell her to a brothel."

"And there's more. You didn't tell me about Xiaomei and Han Zheng." Han Shui's wife reminded.

Yang Qiushan: "My mother told Qiuyue that Han Xiaomei is a girl and will be sold when she turns fifteen. Han Zheng is a sickly person and can be poisoned to death!"

When the original owner and Han Xiuwen got married, almost all the villagers went, and most of them still remembered Yang Qiushan.

After hearing this, everyone was angry as expected.

"When I heard these words at home just now, I thought someone looked down on Yang Qiuyue and found someone like this to spread rumors."

"Me too, now it seems we were wrong."

"This Yang Qiushan is Yang Qiuyue's biological brother. They have a very good relationship. It is absolutely impossible for Yang Qiushan to frame her."

"Yang Qiuyue is so vicious. She took the initiative to separate Xiuwen's wife and the others. Now that she sees that they are living well, she wants to take their property. How shameless."

"That's right. The key is that she wants to kill someone. I'm not bragging. No matter how close we are, we always have arguments. But we never want to hurt anyone. Even when life is hard, we never think of stealing or robbing."

"Aunt Liu is right. Yang Qiuyue is so mean."

"I've never seen someone as vicious as her in decades. It really opens my eyes." An old lady from the Han family said, "We can't have such scum in our Han family. I'm going to find the clan leader now and remove Yang Qiuyue and Han Xiuwu from the family tree!"

In this era, being expelled from the clan is a huge matter for ordinary people. Everyone responded, pulling Yang Qiushan, and walked towards Han Xiuwu's house in a mighty manner.

After walking a few steps, someone finally thought of something important.

Old Lady Wang turned around and grabbed Li Yu, looking her over with concern, "Are you okay?"

Her voice was quite loud, and since Yang Qiushan didn't say anything at the moment, everyone then remembered that Li Yu was at the scene.

Several aunts looked at her with eyes full of pity. Some with impure thoughts looked at her with ill intentions, as if she had become Yang Qiushan's person.

Li Yu memorized the faces of these people and smiled slightly, "People like him, don't even think about getting close to me."

Old Mrs. Wang was relieved. She thought Xiu Wen's wife was a good person and should be safe.

At this point, anyone with any sense would have followed the person in front of him, but there were those who wanted to stir up trouble and had to show themselves to be beaten.

Qian sighed and said in a long voice: "Yang Qiushan went after her. As a man, is it possible that he can't subdue a widow?"

This is equivalent to directly saying that Li Yu is not innocent.

The originally determined gazes of some people also became hesitant after hearing this sentence. Yes, Yang Qiushan is a man after all, and a woman's strength can never compare with that of a man.

When Qian saw the expressions on everyone's faces, she thought she had succeeded and became very proud of herself.

"Women, innocence is the most important thing. If you don't have innocence, you should die, otherwise..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, only heard two slaps, two heavy slaps hit her face.

Li Yu put down his hand and looked at the village head's wife opposite him. He really didn't expect that the two of them would hit Qian's face at the same time. And one on the left and one on the right, just symmetrical.

The village chief's wife grabbed Li Yu's hand and looked at Qian angrily, "Qian, when Yang Qiushan was arrested, I, Dafu and his wife, Han Shui's wife, Han He's wife, and a dozen bricklayers were all present. We know the situation best. Yang Qiushan didn't even touch Li Yu's sleeve, let alone touch her."

Qian covered her burning face and remained stubborn: "You took her money and have a good relationship with her, so you should speak for her."

The village head's wife was so angry that she wanted to slap her a few more times, but was stopped by Li Yu.

Li Yu's face was calm, "Qian..."

Before he could finish his next words, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Everyone is here. On my way to Zhoujia Village, I saw someone sneaking around outside Xiuwen's wife's newly built house. He was caught. Did you see them coming to the village? Who was that person?"

The person who spoke was none other than Wu Dagou, the head of the Qian family.

Everyone: "..."

The village head's wife walked out of the crowd, looked at Wu Dagou with a smile, and asked loudly, "Did that man touch Xiu Wen's wife?"

Wu Dagou was puzzled: "There were so many people building the house, how could he dare to touch them? It was Xiuwen's wife who was holding a knife, as if she wanted to hit him."

The village head's wife burst out laughing and turned to face Qian: "Qian, your big dog said that the man didn't touch Xiu Wen's wife, he can't be lying too."

Qian: “…”

When Wu Dagou got closer, he realized that the people he was talking about were all there. He didn't even glance at Qian, but went straight to Wang Dafu, "Brother Dafu, you are so good at fighting today, but where did you learn it?"

This time no one believed Qian's guess.

But how could Li Yu let her go just like that?

"Qian." Li Yu said in a voice that Wu Dagou could hear, "I saw you eating noodles with a man in town a few days ago. Who is he?"

After saying that, Li Yu ignored her and took the village chief's wife straight to the Han family.

When he looked back after walking a short distance away, he saw Qian clinging to Wu Dagou and explaining in a panic: "Boss, I don't have anyone else, please believe me..."
