He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

When Qu Yi arrived, a group of people were arguing incessantly.

They argued heatedly, their faces turning red, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.

It turned out that Foreman Liu had withheld wages from more than one person.

But he was clever; he knew to target people who had no family or friends with him.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky.

One of the men whose wages he withheld happened to catch the eye of Zhu the butcher's daughter in town, and the two were already discussing marriage.

This girl also has a fiery temper. When she heard that her sweetheart's wages had been embezzled, she grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed over with her men.

Zhao Yang, who had previously had his wages withheld and was also beaten, was naturally invited to go along as well.

"I'm telling you, you have to pay this money back! Otherwise..."

The woman was not slender; she appeared somewhat plump at first glance. However, she had a round face and a heroic air about her, which made her quite intimidating when she turned fierce.

"I didn't withhold wages! If you continue to slander me, I'll report you to the authorities!" Foreman Liu, dressed in a gray cloth coat, had a livid face.

"Pah!" The woman spat at him fiercely. "Have you no shame? Everyone knows that Zhao Yang almost had his leg broken by you when he asked for his wages not long ago! Don't try to lie to me!"

Foreman Liu looked at Zhao Yang: "Zhao Yang, why did I hit you? You won't explain yourself."

The others were stunned.

Could there be some hidden reason behind Zhao Yang's beating?

"It's you again?! Get out!" A woman's shrill scream rang out, and Foreman Liu's wife rushed out with a broom, unleashing a flurry of blows on Zhao Yang. "Don't even think about getting near my daughter again! I will never marry her off to someone like you!"

These words made everyone present feel as if a grand drama was unfolding before their eyes.

Zhao Yang had no idea when he had gotten involved with Liu Fa's daughter.

Before I could speak, the other person's broom came flying at me.

Zhao Yang's face darkened, and he turned to dodge.

A hand suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled hard.

The broom struck the ground heavily.

The force of the rebound made Liu Fa's wife's hand go numb.

"You just said you can report slander to the authorities? Then I will." Qu Yi released Zhao Yang's arm and said calmly.

Liu Wangshi's face turned ugly: "Pah! I didn't slander him."

You said he's in love with your daughter?

"Yup!"

Qu Yi looked into Zhao Yang's eyes and asked, "And you?"

Zhao Yang shook his head.

Qu Yi looked at Liu Wangshi again: "I consider myself to be of average appearance, but Zhao Yang, who grew up with me, would take a fancy to someone else. I suppose your daughter must be a beauty that could topple kingdoms."

Average looks?

Everyone looked at her strangely.

Overwhelming the country and the city?

Everyone scrutinized Liu the foreman and Liu Wangshi's appearances again. Those who had seen Liu the foreman's daughter before twitched their lips violently.

Zhao Yang's lips curled up, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Don't you know how to dodge when someone hits you?"

“I didn’t react.”

"Be careful next time."

"it is good."

The conversation between the two really puzzled everyone.

Everyone in the village knew Qu Yi's attitude towards Zhao Yang.

In the eyes of others, Zhao Yang was just an orphan living in the Qu family. After the Qu couple passed away, it was already quite kind of Qu Yi, an unmarried girl, not to kick him out.

In the past, when Qu Yi bossed Zhao Yang around, everyone just watched it as a spectacle.

But now, the excitement seems different.

These two are so close?

"If Zhao Yang has truly offended your daughter, he is welcome to come to the Qu family to find me. He was adopted by my parents when he was young and is half a member of the Qu family. Instead of coming to me to negotiate a solution after the incident, he even resorted to violence. Do you think you are more powerful than the government?"

“When the government beats people, at least the relatives of the person being punished are present. You seem to have more power than the government.”

In this day and age, who doesn't fear the word "government" and dare to say they are bigger than the government?

He's not tired of living.

"You! How dare you speak like that!" Foreman Liu was furious, pointing at her with trembling fingers.

Zhao Yang turned her head, and what came into view was her perfectly contoured profile. Her expression was calm and serene, which was surprising and particularly striking.

I could feel the gazes directed at me by others.

There are good and bad.

He inexplicably felt a sense of displeasure, as if his private property was being coveted.

Qu Yi continued, "Zhao Yang's injury cost me a lot of money. Since you're the one who injured him, you should compensate me."

Before Foreman Liu could speak, Liu Wangshi shouted, "Impossible! What does Zhao Yang's injury have to do with us? He brought it on himself!"

Qu Yi coldly watched the couple, then turned and walked away.

"Alright, report to the authorities."

on the way back.

Zhao Yang asked, "Are you really going to report this to the authorities?"

He nodded knowingly.

Zhao Yang: "You know the law?"

Qu Yi paused, then turned her head: "I don't understand."

Zhao Yang: "..."

After a moment's careful consideration, Qu Yi said, "I need someone."

Zhao Yang: ? ? ?
