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

The Han clan member who came to find Li Yu was called Han Erqian. He moved to the county with his family five years ago and had not returned for several years. But for some reason, he came back this time.

Han Erqian is the grandson of Han Zheng's grandfather's cousin. Before Han Zheng's grandfather was alive, there was a conflict between the two families, which resulted in the younger generations of the two families having a very bad relationship and basically no communication.

I didn't expect him to come to my house today.

Han Erqian is about the same age as Han Xiuwu, and has a shifty look.

He stood at the door of Li Yu's house, stretched his neck, and tried to see what was happening inside the yard over the screen wall.

Li Yu blocked his sight calmly: "What do you want?"

Han Erqian turned his head and glanced at Li Yu, "Xiu Wen's wife, you are really capable."

There was a sticky look in his eyes. Li Yu frowned and took a half step back.

Han Erqian seemed not to notice her movements, and laughed: "Xiu Wen Wife, I have something very important to tell you today. Please let me into the yard and pour me a cup of tea. We are relatives, you can't let me stand at the door and talk, it will be embarrassing."

His smile was ugly and vulgar, and Li Yu frowned even tighter, "There are only two women in our family, it's not convenient, if you have something to say, just tell me, otherwise I will close the door."

As she spoke, she spread her arms and placed her fingers on the left and right doors, as if she was ready to close them at any time.

Han Erqian: "Xiu Wen's wife, what are you afraid of? We are all relatives, and I won't eat you..."

Seeing that the man was getting more and more suspicious, Li Yu no longer gave him a chance to speak. He used both hands at the same time and slammed the door shut.

Han Erqian didn't expect her to do this and was so scared that he took a step back, but there was a step behind him and he didn't pay attention and missed a step and fell down.

"Ouch, I...you bitch surnamed Li, you actually did this to me, ouch, it hurts!"

Han Erqian's cursing was heard outside the door, but Li Yu didn't take it seriously. He locked the door from the inside and quickly returned to the house.

She felt disgusted if she talked to someone like Han Erqian for even a moment longer.

Han Xiaomei and Qi Yue were writing in the room. When they heard the scolding, they hurried out to ask.

"Second sister-in-law, who is outside?"

"It's Han Erqian who has a bad relationship with our family."

Han Xiaomei pouted: "Why is it him? He is the worst!"

Li Yu looked at the angry girl and asked, "Did he have conflicts with you guys before?"

"Yes!" Han Xiaomei had a lot to say here, "The relationship between our family and theirs has always been bad. He always makes trouble for us. One year, at night, he pulled out all the seedlings that my second brother had worked so hard to plant. My second brother was so angry that he went to their house and beat him up. Another time..."

Han Xiaomei talked for a quarter of an hour in one breath, but she still hadn't finished telling the disgusting things Han Erqian had done.

Li Yu: “…” This Han Erqian is such a bad person.

And according to Xiaomei's description, Han Erqian will definitely come to cause trouble again, so she must deal with it in advance.

Thinking of this, Li Yu listened attentively to the noise outside. After noticing that Han Erqian had left, he immediately opened the door and went out.

Han Xiaomei couldn't help but call her: "Second sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Li Yu said, "I'm going to find the elders. You stay home and keep the door closed. Don't let anyone in. Got it?"

Han Xiaomei: "I understand."

There were six elders in the Han clan, living in the north of the village. Due to their old age, they did not participate in the spring ploughing, so Li Yu gathered them together without much effort.

In front of several people, Li Yu told the whole story of Han Erqian's visit to her house today.

"I don't know what Han Erqian wants to do, but I am sure that the relationship between our two families was not good before, is not good now, and will not be good in the future. I don't want to have anything to do with him. I hope the elders can warn him and make him restrain himself. Don't provoke me, otherwise I will deal with him the same way I deal with others."

There was an elder in the clan who was called the Fifth Grandfather. He had a good relationship with Han Erqian's family. He frowned so hard that he could almost kill a fly. "Xiu Wen's wife, you are too cruel. Erqian is a member of our Han family and is nominally your brother. How can you say that?"

Li Yu was not afraid of this fifth great grandfather. He faced him and said coldly, "Why can't I? Han Erqian has done so many absurd things to our family in the past. I have given him face by not beating him up when I saw him today. He still wants me to treat him the same way as others? Dream on!"

The fifth great grandfather slammed the table and said, "...This is outrageous. You are a woman, and you yell at me, your elder. Do you have any manners?"

Li Yu chuckled, "I've been married to the village for almost half a year, and it's always been like this, don't you know?"

Fifth Great Grandfather: “…”

"Talk less, Xiu Wen's wife, you stop talking first, and Old Five, you stop too." The second great grandfather, the most respected among the elders in the clan, spoke up to stop the two.

The fifth great grandfather said angrily: "Second brother, you have to control her. What other daughter-in-law is like her?"

"Shut up!" The second great grandfather shouted coldly, and then looked at Li Yu gently, "Xiu Wen's wife, I understand what you said. Don't worry, I will restrain Han Erqian and prevent him from disturbing you."

"Thank you, second great grandfather."

The fifth great grandfather was dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "Second brother, how can you side with her?!"

"Shut up." The second great grandfather glared at him, lowered his head and continued to talk to Li Yu: "Your family has a lot of land, I think you must be very busy, you should go home first, and leave the rest to me."

Li Yu knew that this second great grandfather was the most prestigious in the clan and the most fair in his work. Since he said so, it should be almost done, so he left with peace of mind.

Watching Li Yu leave, the fifth great grandfather was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed his finger in the direction of the door and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, look at her, she is absolutely lawless. How can you spoil her like this?"

The second great grandfather gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You are getting more confused as you get older."

The fifth grandfather was scolded and became even more dissatisfied, "Why am I confused? You are confused. You are being controlled by a junior, and you are not ashamed."

The second great grandfather rolled his eyes and said, "I told you that you are confused and you still don't believe me. Tell me, who is the most capable person in our clan now?"

The fifth great grandfather opened his mouth and was speechless.

The second great grandfather snorted, "Now in our entire Han family, Brother Zheng and his wife Xiu Wen are the most powerful. Brother Zheng will take the imperial examination. If he passes the examination in the future, our Han family will be proud of it."

"I know that Brother Zheng is powerful, but what about this Li? She is just a businessman. What benefits can she bring to our clan?"

The second great grandfather looked at him as if he were a fool: "How dare you look down on traveling merchants? Look at our Qingshui Village. The house built by Xiuwen's wife is the biggest and most beautiful."

Fifth Great Grandfather: "What's the use of building a big house and doing a good business? She is a traitor. Look, all the people she hired for business are from other families. Only Han Shui's wife and Han He's wife got some benefits, but no one else got any advantage from her at all."

Second great grandfather: "......"
