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

There were three people pulling up the rice seedlings. It was not very bright and the three people had their backs to them, so I couldn't see what they looked like, but I could vaguely identify their gender from the color of their clothes.

There are two men and a woman.

Li Yu gave Han Zheng a wink, and Han Zheng understood and immediately walked towards the village.

Li Yu moved behind a tree and looked at those people quietly.

Everyone who was working was strong, and she had no chance of winning against three people alone, so she had to wait for others to come and help.

They have a lot of land, and judging by the energy these men are displaying, they must be trying to pull out all the rice seedlings.

Just pull it out. You should compensate her the way you pulled it out.

Han Zheng rushed to the village chief's house at the fastest speed in his life. The village chief's family was about to lock the gate and rest. Seeing him panting and pale, the village chief's wife was shocked and helped him sit on the chair. The village chief helped him to breathe. "What's wrong?"

Han Zheng held his chest and said, "Someone...someone is pulling out our rice seedlings. My second sister-in-law is watching over there."

The village chief's expression suddenly changed. "I'll go take a look."

Having said that, he walked away quickly.

Han Zheng stood up and tried to catch up, but was held down by the village head's wife. "Look at your own face. Don't be anxious. Take it easy and leave later. Don't worry about your second sister-in-law. With your uncle Li here, nothing will happen to her."

Han Zheng was worried and insisted on following.

The village chief's wife had no choice but to support him and watch him carefully, fearing that something might happen to him.

*

The village chief called a few other men to join him as he walked.

Everyone hadn't rested yet, and when they heard that someone had secretly pulled out Li Yu's rice seedlings, they were all shocked.

"It's not easy to grow rice, who is so cruel?!"

"No matter who it is, if we catch him, we must beat him up."

"Go, go, don't let those people get away."

The men rolled up their sleeves, looking ready to get down to business.

The village chief looked at me with amusement and said, "Keep your voices down and don't make so much noise. If they hear you and run away, I won't let you go."

Men: "..."

The group walked towards the fields in a heroic and high-spirited manner. On the way, they met Han Shui and Han He. When they heard that they were going to help Li Yu, the two brothers followed them without saying a word.

*

Li Yu waited for nearly two quarters of an hour and finally saw the village chief and his entourage.

She gestured for silence and trotted forward to speak, "Those people are still pulling out the weeds. I thought of having a few people chasing them here, and a few people blocking the other end of the field, to prevent them from running away."

The village chief thought it made sense, and immediately turned around and pointed at four people, "You guys go around from the small path over there and block the way, we'll watch from here."

Several men agreed.

*

It was completely dark. Li Yu, the village chief, Han He and Han Shui walked along the ridge of the field towards the three people.

They deliberately slowed down their footsteps, and with the interference of various sounds such as wind and birdsong, the three people only noticed their presence when they were almost next to them.

Seeing them, the man closest to them was terrified and ran away without caring about his two companions.

How could Li Yu and his companions let him get away? They quickened their pace and chased after him.

The soil in the rice fields was soft, and walking was not as fast as on dry land. Plus, the three of them had been pulling out seedlings for a long time, so their physical strength was not that good. Li Yu and his companions quickly caught up.

Before the people blocking the road came over, the village chief, Han Shui and Han He had already held the three people down. After the others came over, they pulled the three people onto the road together.

At this time, Han Zheng, the wife of the village chief, also arrived. They were holding lanterns, and with the help of the light, the faces of the three people appeared clearly in everyone's eyes.

"Han Jiang?" Han Shui looked at his men, his mouth so shocked that he could almost swallow an egg.

Look at what the village chief and Han He are holding, one is Han Erqian and the other is Han Erqian's wife.

*

At 7:30 p.m., the center of Qingshui Village was brightly lit, a rare sight.

The village chief and Li Yu stood side by side. In front of them were the tied-up Han Jiang and his wife Han Erqian.

The other villagers gathered in a circle, muttering to each other.

"I heard that the three of them went to pull up Zheng Ge'er's rice seedlings in the dark, and the village chief saw them with his own eyes."

"Xiu Wen's wife is not someone you can easily mess with, and Zheng Ge'er is a scholar now, how dare they do that?"

"I won't mention Han Er and Qian's couple. They pulled up the rice seedlings from Zheng'er's house before, so it's not surprising that they did such a bad thing now. But what about Han Jiang? I haven't heard that he had any conflicts with Xiu Wen's wife and Han Zheng before. Moreover, he is Han He and Han Shui's cousin. Han Shui and Han He's wife have a very good relationship with Xiu Wen's wife. Isn't he deliberately causing trouble for Han He and Han Shui by doing this?"

“I don’t understand what he’s thinking.”

Everyone was whispering, not caring about the Han family members around them.

At this time, the six elders of the Han family all looked grim.

Especially my fifth great-grandfather.

After being criticized by his second great-grandfather that day, he found Han Erqian that day and told him not to get close to Li Yu unless necessary, and not to cause trouble for Han Zheng and others like he had done before.

Han Erqian promised him everything in front of him and swore to heaven that he would never cause trouble. But after just a few days, he did this.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

The fifth great grandfather was so angry that he almost fainted.

Especially after the other elders looked at him with meaningful eyes, he felt even more upset.

"Dad, don't speak for Han Erqian later." After looking at everyone's expressions, the fifth great-grandfather's son leaned over to his father's ear and whispered.

The fifth great grandfather was so angry that he rolled his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "What did you say? Don't you trust your father?"

The fifth great grandfather's son showed a distrustful expression, "I can't believe it. You think Han Erqian is your own fault. Your grandson Song Ge used to fight with him, and it was Song Ge who got scolded."

Fifth Great Grandfather: “…”

"Dad, you can't be confused anymore. In our clan, Zheng Ge'er and Xiu Wen's wife are the most powerful. I don't want to offend them. If you really regard me as your son, and if you still remember your grandson Song Ge, don't say a word this time. If you insist on saying something, I can't say whether Song Ge will recognize you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Great Grandfather was shocked. Was he so bad at doing this before?

Seeing the old man in pain, the fifth grandfather's son felt a little bit sorry but didn't say anything. His father was a confused man with a unclear mind. If he didn't say something harsh to wake him up, he would get into trouble in the future.

A few meters away, the village chief saw that everyone had arrived, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and started talking.

Han Zheng spoke first, explaining the whole process of how they discovered Han Er, Qian and two other men pulling up the seedlings. Then Han Shui, Han He and several other men who went with them spoke as witnesses.

The village chief concluded: "Everyone should have heard clearly that it was Han Erqian and his wife and Han Jiang who started the fight. As the village chief, I will never condone them for doing such a thing. So everything will depend on the arrangements of Zheng Ge'er and Xiu Wen's wife. Even if they report it to the government, I will never stop them."

The villagers looked at each other, and soon, their eyes all turned to Li Yu and Han Zheng.

Li Yu let them watch openly, and when he thought they had seen enough, he said directly: "I want to report a crime."
