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

March 12th, everything goes well.

Li Yu got up early in the morning, and after eating, he, Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng moved the vegetables to be used today to the temporary shed outside the new house.

Soon, the cook arrived.

Li Yu did not invite Li Xiangyun, Aunt Wu and others to the move-in banquet for the new house. They have helped a lot recently, so they deserve a good meal today.

After negotiating with the person in charge of cooking, Uncle Wu, Han Shui, Han He, Han Sheng and Wang Dafu came over pushing the table.

Li Yu greeted them and went back to the house to serve them tea.

There are more than a hundred people coming today, so we need to set up more than ten tables. There is not enough space in the yard, so we set them up outside.

Li Yu made all the arrangements one by one, and the sun rose to halfway in the sky.

Villagers began to arrive.

The first to arrive were the people who were close to Li Yu, Li Xiangyun, Han Shui's wife, Han He's wife, and the village chief's wife, who came with their children and each brought 20 to 30 chicken or duck eggs as gifts. Han's mother and Han Xiaocao followed closely behind, bringing a set of quilt covers for Li Yu.

In the village, these were all good things, and the fact that they were sent over was enough to prove how much they valued Li Yu. Li Yu asked Han Xiaomei to take them and greeted them while standing at the door.

The village chief's wife said, "Those who were not invited kept clamoring to cause trouble. Your uncle Li couldn't stand it, so he went to beat them up early in the morning. But those people are shameless and will probably come to cause trouble again."

Li Yu gave her a reassuring look and said, "It's okay. I have a way to cure them."

*

The guests arrived quickly, and soon there were about forty or fifty of them.

Li Yu received the female guests, Han Xiaomei was responsible for playing with the children, and Han Zheng received the male guests.

The three of them had their own division of labor and things were done in an orderly manner.

The villagers watched and whispered to each other.

"No wonder Xiu Wen's wife can earn money. Just look at her generous appearance. She is a good person. When I was her age, I couldn't do what she did."

"Even Xiaomei is more sensible than other children."

"And Han Zheng, I heard he passed the county exam. He is now considered the most capable scholar in our village."

"Look at them. They manage to live without elders."

A member of the Han clan heard the latter part of the sentence and felt uncomfortable. He wanted to argue, but was glared back by the clan elder who came with him.

"We didn't help them in the first place. They were telling the truth."

"But..."

The elder’s eyes were like swords: “No buts, we can come here now because we are also surnamed Han, and we are from the same clan as Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei, otherwise it would not be our turn. So you better be quiet!”

The tribesman was blocked and his face turned red, so he sat down obediently.

It was bustling over at the new house. Not far away, Mrs. He, Old Man Huang and a dozen other people were smelling the meat in the air and their eyes were red with greed.

"Let's go now. I don't believe she really dares to drive us away."

"Yes, go now, otherwise there will be no seats if you go too late."

"What if she insists on kicking us out?"

"Then we'll just rob them. The cooking shed is outside, and we'll run away with the meat. If they don't let us eat the good food, then they won't be able to eat it either."

"Okay then, let's go!"

Li Yu was talking to Han's mother when Han Xiaomei ran over in a panic: "Second sister-in-law, Old Man Huang and his friends are here."

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense.

Li Yu smiled at everyone and followed Han Xiaomei out.

Twenty meters outside the door, Uncle Wu, along with Han Sheng, Han Zheng, Wang Dafu and others, stopped Old Man Huang and his group.

"You were not invited here today, so please leave." Han Zheng spoke as the host.

Old Man Huang was not afraid of Han Zheng. In his opinion, Han Zheng was just a child and was of no use at all.

He simply ignored Han Zheng and spoke to Uncle Wu, "We are all fellow villagers, and we are also here to congratulate Xiu Wen's wife."

Uncle Wu glanced at Han Zheng. Although he had a good relationship with Li Yu and the others, he was not the head of the family, so some things he said would be inappropriate.

Han Zheng understood Uncle Wu's intention and said, "We don't need your congratulations. Please leave now."

The smell of meat in the air became stronger and stronger. He couldn't help it and pushed Han Zheng forward, "We are here to congratulate you, why don't you invite us in quickly."

Han Zheng turned around to avoid He's push, and when he looked at He again, his eyes had changed.

That look was definitely not what a thirteen-year-old child should have; it was calm yet sinister.

He was frightened and couldn't help but take a step back.

"You..." After realizing that she was frightened by a child, He began to go crazy, "Who are you? You have no parents. We come to congratulate you to give you face."

Han Zheng's face was as gloomy as water: "Say it again!"

He: "You are an orphan, you..."

With a snap, He's head turned to the side.

Li Yu shook his hands, his face cold: "Han Zheng is a boy, it's not easy to hit you, but I'm not afraid, He, say it again and see who is stronger, you or me."

He didn't expect to be beaten again, and immediately sat on the ground and threw a tantrum, "This is so unfair, we came to congratulate you, and you didn't invite us in to eat meat and vegetables, but you beat us, I won't live anymore!"

When the other maids who were with He saw that she was the first to howl, they also started to make a scene with her.

They cried dryly while secretly glancing at Li Yu, just waiting for him to admit his mistake and invite them into the yard.

The noise continued, and the Han family members couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to help.

Seeing this, He howled even louder and even said "taking advantage of power to bully others".

"Xiu Wen's wife, how about we let them in today?" Seeing that the situation was getting worse, an elder whispered, "There are only a dozen of them, and they can't eat too much. Just consider it as alms."

Li Yu shook his head: "I won't compromise with them."

"But it's almost noon, and if they don't leave, the other guests won't be able to eat."

"Don't worry, I have a way." Li Yu covered his hands and looked at the sky. The time was almost up.

Just as he finished thinking, someone came on horseback from a distance. The man was wearing a yamen runner's uniform and a yamen runner's cap. It was none other than Li the Yamen Runner.

Li Yayi saw Li Yu from a distance and greeted her after getting off his horse, "Boss Li, congratulations."

Li Yu bowed to him and said, "Thank you for coming, sir."

Three days ago, after she knew that Huang Laohan and his people were going to cause trouble, she directly found Li Yayi and asked him to take charge. Anyway, she had this connection, so why not use it?

Li Yu was about to tell Li the yamen runner about Old Man Huang, but she saw Li the yamen runner once again bowing to her and Han Zheng: "Boss Li, Young Master Han, the list of the county exam is out today, and Master Han won first place. He will be a scholar in the future. The messenger who announced the good news has arrived in town. You should get ready. I am here first to congratulate you."
