Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 39: Seizing Property
Until noon, Lei Zhong had not returned yet. Looking at Lu Youqing who was still sitting in the yard with a worried look on his face, Li Nanqiao could only quietly make a gesture to Han Qi.
"My wife hasn't had a drop of water since this morning. This won't work."
Han Qi is still young after all, and he is at a loss when faced with such a thing, "Then what should I do?"
"How about this, let's make some simple food, at least let the lady have something to eat."
Li Nanqiao cooked some easy-to-digest porridge and some refreshing side dishes, and brought them to Lu Youqing and advised: "My wife, it's noon, eat something first."
Lu Youqing picked up the soup spoon. She actually had no appetite at the moment and didn't want to eat anything, but she could only force herself to eat. She ate half a bowl of porridge in a boring way and couldn't eat any more.
After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, Li Nanqiao looked at the side dishes she hadn't touched and sighed softly.
Not long after noon, there was another banging on the courtyard door. Because of what happened in the morning, Li Nanqiao couldn't help but shiver when he heard the noise, fearing that the officers would come back to arrest people again.
Lu Youqing, who was sitting in the pavilion with his forehead supported with one hand and eyes closed in deep thought, suddenly opened his eyes. His amber eyes were deep and sharp.
"Open the door! I know there's someone in there!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Nanqiao's originally anxious heart finally settled down a little. She turned her head and saw Lu Youqing showing that familiar, controlling expression.
She didn't seem surprised by the arrival of those people, so were they the ones she mentioned in the morning?
Had she guessed it long ago?
Li Nanqiao didn't know, but she felt that Lu Youqing was the smartest person she had ever met in her life.
The smartest woman in Li Nanqiao's eyes had already stood up and walked towards the door. Li Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and immediately trotted after her, following her closely.
Lu Youqing looked indifferently at the people who came with ill intentions. The eagerness, greed and determination on their faces were so clearly imprinted in her eyes.
"I knew you, an ugly freak, were at home. You heard us knocking on the door, but you took so long to open it."
"That's right. Qin Ke is in trouble now. This is our Qin family's property. We should take over it anyway!"
"You are a stranger, and you have been with Qin Ke for such a long time without any news in your heart. You are not a hen that does not lay eggs, are you?"
Grandma Qin's cloudy yellow eyes rolled around and fell on Lu Youqing's flat belly. She said, "Qin Ke is in trouble, and you can't even leave him a successor. We in the Qin family don't recognize a woman like you whose origins are unknown."
"Alright!" Grandpa Qin poked his cane and waited until they finished talking before he stopped them. He looked at Lu Youqing who was standing at the door without saying a word and said, "We are not unreasonable people. We will give you a few taels of silver and you can remarry on your own. The Qin family's assets will never be handed over to a woman of a different surname like you."
He acted in a condescending manner, and said these words as if he was giving alms to the other person.
Li Nanqiao knew why this group of people came. Their faces and words were exactly the same as when her father had just passed away and those members of the Li family came to force her and her mother.
The boss had just been arrested and the situation was not clear yet, but these people were already eager to seize the property.
She stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Youqing, raised her chin, and said loudly: "The boss's matter has not been settled yet, and you want to coax my wife away. You are too impatient. If you want to touch my wife, go through me first!"
Han Qi turned around and picked up a stick from the yard, then ran back to protect Lu Youqing.
"Li Da Niu, this is our Qin family's family affair and has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way!" Uncle Qin shouted sternly.
"That's right, why are you, a Li, interfering in our Qin family's affairs? And that kid over there, you bought him, right? He is our Qin family's servant, you have to recognize your master!"
Li Nanqiao was so furious that his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Lu Youqing, who was standing behind them, raised his hand and patted Li Nanqiao on the shoulder, signaling them to calm down, then took two steps forward and walked past them to face the Qin family members.
"I will follow my husband and call you grandpa and grandma, but the specific situation of my husband has not yet been determined. How do you know that my husband will never come back? Do you know why my husband was arrested?"
Lu Youqing spoke in a light tone, but just a few words made the Qin family members break out in sweat.
How did they know? It was the Song family kid who whispered in their ears that Qin Ke was involved in a murder case and would never come back.
"Besides, you want to drive me out of this house. I'm afraid there is one thing you don't know. The house deed and their deeds of sale are all in my hands."
At first when Qin Ke put these things in her hands, she was a little surprised, but Qin Ke was very determined.
She understood that Qin Ke was trying his best to give her a sense of security. Holding these things in her hands, she did feel much more at ease. She never expected that one day, these things would become her capital to resist the enemy.
As her mind raced, she thought of Qin Ke again. She wondered what his current situation was. Prison was definitely not a place for human beings to stay. Was he suffering?
Lu Youqing silently put away his thoughts and expressed his attitude firmly and resolutely.
"You bitch! Don't be shameless and give up that place to me immediately. And that melon field, which was given to Qin Ke by the Qin family, must also be handed over to me!" Uncle Qin had a ferocious look on his face and didn't believe anything Lu Youqing said. He didn't care about the contract. In Qinghe Village, they had the final say.
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Qin's son Qin Li rolled up his sleeves and prepared to take action.
He had heard that the melons from Qin Ke's melon field could be sold for five hundred coins each. If they owned the melons, how much money could they make?
They had thought about it a few days ago, but that brat Qin Ke refused to listen. Now he got his comeuppance. All the properties of the Qin family and this newly built magnificent house will be theirs.
This is how the village has always behaved. No contract or law is greater than the power of the village families.
Seeing that they were about to take action, Li Nanqiao also got ready. He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would not let them touch his wife today.
Qin Li and his companions did not take Li Nan, Qiao and Han Qi seriously at all. They were just two people, and two fists could not beat four hands. How could a group of them not be able to defeat two of them?
Han Qi swallowed nervously and clenched the stick in his hand.
However, just as Qin Li and his companions approached, a loud shout rang in their ears, and the next second, a gust of fist wind hit them.
They had no time to react before they were knocked to the ground by the fierce fists.
"Brother Lei, you're back!" Li Nanqiao was overjoyed when he saw Lei Zhong's figure.
"Let's see who dares to do that again!"
Lei Zhong’s face turned as black as charcoal, his eyebrows raised, and he shouted loudly.
The Qin family members, who were originally arrogant, became obedient when they saw the burly Lei Zhong. They had heard that Qin Ke later bought a warrior who made a living in the escort agency, and it was said that his hands were stained with blood.
The situation suddenly became stalemate. Although they were afraid, they were reluctant to let the Qin family give up the piece of fat meat they had obtained.
"Alright, stop it! Look at what you look like!"
A majestic voice sounded behind everyone.
Looking up, I saw the youngest child of the Wu family walking towards me, supporting the village chief.
"You are from the Qin family. Qin Ke was just arrested and you came to his house to make trouble. Don't you think you are too inhumane? This matter has not been concluded yet. It is too early to say anything."
The village chief turned around and criticized the Qin family members, then softened his tone and advised: "At least you should wait until everything is safe before doing anything. These things can be discussed after the government's announcement comes out."
After all, the village chief's words were meant to support Lu Youqing, and Mr. Qin was no fool, so he could naturally hear it.
Anyway, when Qin Ke will never come back, these things will still fall into their hands, so let that woman be proud for two days.
"Well, let's listen to the village chief today. Let's go back first."
Only after the Qin family members left did Li Nanqiao finally relax his tense nerves.
The village chief finally turned his head and looked at Lu Youqing without saying anything.
However, Lu Youqing could understand what he meant. This was all he could do to help, and it was only because of the big promises Qin Ke had made for him that day.
If Qin Ke came back safely, they would remember the favor. If Qin Ke couldn't come back, he wouldn't help stop her anymore.
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
Lu Youqing didn't find it strange. After the others left, she hurriedly asked, "Have you found out what happened?"
"Ma'am, I have already found out everything."
