The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The weather is getting hotter as autumn approaches. The people working in the fields are busy and sweating profusely. Several men riding tall horses came to Anning Village. Many farmers were harvesting beans in the fields at this time. When they saw the strong men on horseback, they couldn't help but look around with curiosity.

They all wondered in their hearts where this came from and who it was targeting. Moreover, these people looked like they were not easy to mess with, so they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

When they reached the village entrance, they pulled the reins on their horses and asked the man who was cutting bean stalks, "Excuse me, how do we get to Hunter Yan's house?"

Chu Peng had never expected that these people would ask him questions. He straightened up and pointed in another direction of the village entrance: "Go north along this path, and then go west at the fork."

"Thank you."

A few men rode away on horseback, and when the horses' tails were out of sight, people working nearby began to talk about it.

"What do these people do? Why would they look for Hunter Yan?"

"He's riding a horse, so he's definitely not an ordinary person. Do you think the Yan family has caused any trouble?"

"There are many people in their family, young and old, but they are the only two strong laborers. One stays in the mountains for ten days or half a month, and the other works for Carpenter Tan. They are not the kind of people who would mess around with others, so they are not likely to cause any trouble."

"Some time ago, someone from the village came to look at the land. They were the acres that Chu Lao Er gave to Chu Xiao Ge. It seemed that some of them were yamen runners."

"Speaking of which, I heard that Yan Zhengxing also wanted to buy it before. I don't know what treasures there are in the land that so many people are interested in."

"You can find out if you go dig it up in the middle of the night."

"I'm not going, but you're pretty familiar with Yan Zhengxing, why don't you go and ask him?"

"Where can I ask? Didn't you see his wife and two kids busy working in his fields? I don't know why this guy hasn't left the yard for half a month. I went to look for him for a drink but he didn't show up."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. Half a month ago, I saw him limping when he came back from the county town. Could he have been beaten?"

"That's hard to say. Although I have a good relationship with him, sometimes I look down on him. He is a bully."

Chu Peng was afraid that when he heard everyone start talking about their family, he knew in his heart that the people with the worst reputation in the entire Anning Village were Li Xiulan and Chu Laoer, even worse than that scoundrel Zhang Yiming.

The topic shifted to Yan Zhengxing, which made him feel relieved. He was really fed up with other people's sarcastic tone towards him and the noisy family.

Several big men soon arrived in front of the only yard. They dismounted from their horses. The little boy squatting at the door looked at them with curiosity. Lu Zhicheng stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this the home of Hunter Yan?"

"Yes, Hunter Yan is my elder brother." Yan Zhenbei stood up. He was a little scared and wanted to hide behind, but when he thought of his brother-in-law's presence, he felt relieved. However, his eyes were still timid: "Are you looking for my elder brother?"

"Yes, you are Xiaobei, right?"

Yan Zhenbei nodded and looked at the visitor with even more curiosity.

Lu Zhicheng smiled and said, "I am Qing'er's uncle."

"Uncle." When Yan Zhenbei heard Qingger's uncle, he thought that he must also be his uncle.

Chu Xiao came out of the house, looked up and was stunned: "Uncle?"

Lu Zhicheng walked in, and the other big men stayed where they were without moving. Yan Zhenbei also stared at them stupidly, blinking occasionally.

Chu Xiao stepped forward with a smile: "Why is my uncle here? My brother Shen and I were just about to go see Grandpa Lu."

Lu Zhicheng: "That's great, but I'm here for serious business today."

Chu Xiao knew that it was probably because of those acres of land.

The dowry that Chu Lao Er gave to Chu Xiao was originally six acres of mountain land. Later, he exchanged ginseng for four acres of mountain land and two acres of paddy fields. The yield in mountain land is low, and most people do not grow staple foods there, but various beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes and the like.

However, Chu Lao Er has never been a very diligent person. For convenience, barley is planted in these mountains. Although it is not time to harvest yet, the mature crops will attract many birds. Today, Zhao Guizhi and Yan Zhenshen went to the fields to put up a few scarecrows, which can also serve as a deterrent.

Chu Xiao asked Yan Zhenbei who was standing at the door to call Yan Zhenshen back, and then led Lu Zhicheng into the house. Seeing Yan Zhengdao under the eaves, Lu Zhicheng nodded and called him "Uncle".

When this address came out, Yan Zhengdao was a little stunned. He seemed to have heard Xiao Ge'er calling this man uncle just now. Then this man called him uncle, wouldn't it be a mess of generations?

Chu Xiao's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, so he forced himself to introduce, "Dad, this is Grandpa Lu's youngest son, Lu Zhicheng."

Yan Zhengdao stood up with the help of the wall and greeted with a smile: "My legs and feet are not good, you go in and sit down first, Xiao Ge'er go and pour a cup of tea for the little brother, and ask the big brothers outside to come in and sit down."

"You're welcome." Lu Zhicheng said so, but he still called a few big men into the yard to sit under the eaves. Although they all came back from the battlefield and this little heat was nothing, this was not a mission, so why suffer when they could take it easy?

Lu Zhicheng entered the room and sat down. When Chu Xiao brought him tea, he joked, "I heard that Brother Chu has made a lot of money recently. Did he sell a lot of ginseng and ganoderma lucidum?"

"What luck! I don't even know what that Ganoderma is. I picked it because it looked rare. If Doctor Hu had told me that this was a strange mushroom, I would have believed it."

Lu Zhicheng smiled and shook his head: "You are really lucky. I came here today to give you some money."

"Normally, the mountain land should cost no more than six taels of silver per mu. Since we will start construction after the autumn harvest, we will charge ten taels per mu. When we divided the land, more than eight mu of yours were included, but we will also take the extra mu. What do you think?"

"Hehe, that's definitely possible." Chu Xiao said as he stood up: "Uncle, sit down for a while, I'll get you some fruit."

Lu Zhicheng agreed with a smile. When Chu Xiao came out of the kitchen with a basket of various fruits, he was surprised. He thought he would just take one or two, but he took a whole basket. He didn't know whether to say that Brother Chu was generous or that he thought these men were as greedy as pigs.

"Did you pick these from the mountains?"

"Well, there are plenty of them in the mountains." Chu Xiao put a few on the table for him and gave the rest to other people.

Lu Zhicheng picked up a fruit and took a bite, nodding: "It's very sweet. This kind of wild fruit will go bad if it is slightly bumped. How do you preserve it?"

What's so difficult about this? Although he took it out from space, it won't get bumped if he put some grass or fruits under it.

“There are a lot of weeds on the mountain.”

Lu Zhicheng was amused by this, how could he not know about the grass padding? What he wanted to ask was how the fruit could be preserved so that it looked as fresh as if it had just been picked.

But everyone has their own way. He was just asking out of curiosity. It doesn't matter whether others are willing to tell him or not.

Before they could continue to say anything, Yan Sanmei came running back in a panic, shouting, "Brother, Brother Xiao, come quickly, there is a woman hanging on the roots of a willow tree by the river."
