Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 13 Who's Running Wild Here?
"Who dares to cause trouble here?"
I looked in the direction of the sound.
The villagers at the entrance dispersed, revealing a woman with a lithe figure.
The woman had exquisite features and an imposing, heroic air.
He carried an axe on his left shoulder, with a scarlet bird perched on the axe, a very rare sight.
Like its owner, it stared sharply at everyone.
There were still traces of blood on the axe.
A pig's head was sticking out of the basket on its back... quite a large pig's head, rather frightening.
"Mother, you're back..." Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Zifeng were overjoyed to see Lu Qingyao return.
Jiang Miaomiao waved her little fists and grinned, making "ee-wah" sounds.
Lu Qingyao slowly put down the basket and axe.
He strode up to his son, took the red-tasseled spear from his hand, and thrust it at Liu the landlord.
If he had taken just one more step forward, the blade would have pierced his throat.
"Who are you? What brings you to my house?"
Fearing that she might be taken advantage of, Liu Yuniang reminded her, "Sister-in-law, he is Master Liu, the landlord of Taoxi Village."
Lu Qingyao dismissed it, saying, "I don't care who he is."
"I...you...you put the gun down first, let's talk this out." Landlord Liu stammered, taking a few steps back.
He stared at her, wide-eyed, incredulous.
Madam Jiang made no mention in her letter of how fierce this lady from a prominent family in the capital was.
It's different from the fierceness of country women.
She possessed a martial spirit that suggested she was capable of killing.
His intuition told him that this woman's hands were stained with blood...
"Mr. Liu, speak your mind, or get out of my house!" Lu Qingyao said coldly, her face solemn.
Landlord Liu felt he had messed with someone and gasped.
He reached out and gently pried open the gun barrel, speaking softly, "Madam Jiang, let's talk this out. Put the gun down first."
Lu Qingyao put away her red-tasseled spear and glared at the person carrying the chicken coop.
The two men hurriedly dropped the chicken coop and retreated to Liu the landlord's side.
"Speak up, then hurry up and leave, don't delay my child's meal."
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother who was smiling at her.
It felt like her mother was a completely different person; she exuded an aura of authority without needing to be angry.
But today, Mom was so cool.
Mother is mighty!!
Landlord Liu bit his lip and mustered his courage. "Madam Jiang, I'm here to collect a debt. Your husband owes me three hundred taels of silver. Don't you think it's time to pay it back?"
Three hundred taels!
Jiang Miaomiao's little face scrunched up.
They'll live on air after losing money, damn scumbag father!
The Jiang brothers, Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Zifeng, hung their heads, their eyes filled with disappointment.
In their hearts, their father was once a rather great father.
To rise from humble beginnings to where he is today, his exceptional talent goes without saying.
But after experiencing all of this, the filter of a loving father shattered completely.
Their father's character is really not good!
He ran away with a mountain of debt, leaving his mother to take the blame.
He was unworthy of being a husband, unworthy of being a father, unworthy of being a human being...
"When did you incur this debt? Do you have any proof?" Lu Qingyao asked, half believing and half doubting.
After all, she owed her older brother money first, so she couldn't help but believe him a little.
"Ten...twelve years ago..." Landlord Liu took out a letter from his pocket.
My hands were trembling slightly.
If this woman were an ordinary housewife...
Having spent so much time in Taoxi Village, I'm afraid I've already worn myself out.
If he pulls out the IOU again, he'll definitely force her to comply.
But both he and that other person made a mistake.
Lu Qingyao opened the letter and burst into laughter.
It is indeed Jiang Yunze's handwriting, and the paper is quite old.
Liu, the landlord, felt uneasy at her laughter.
"Is Master Liu literate?" Lu Qingyao asked seriously, her smile fading.
"Do you recognize a few..."
Landlord Liu was completely baffled by her question.
What does literacy have to do with collecting debts? Not being literate doesn't stop him from counting his money.
Have you ever heard of Chengxintang paper?
Landlord Liu nodded, "I've heard a little about it."
I heard about it from the bookstore owner when I was buying stationery for my son when he was in school.
I've heard that its skin is as smooth as an egg membrane, as firm and pure as jade, and so expensive that only royalty, nobles, and famous scholars can afford to possess it.
Lu Qingyao looked at him with amusement, "Then do you know that this IOU is made of Chengxintang paper?"
Landlord Liu was startled.
Ultimately, it's just that he lacks experience.
I only thought the paper was good, but I didn't expect it to be so much better.
I don't know if the old hag did it on purpose, or if she was even more ignorant than me and couldn't recognize the paper.
Lu Qingyao gave a helpless bitter smile, "Master Liu, who instructed you to do this? What is your purpose?"
Landlord Liu looked at her with shame, "Madam Jiang must have already guessed, so why ask me? I had no choice..."
"I'm sorry for today, I won't bother you again."
Before Lu Qingyao could say anything, he cupped his hands in farewell and led his men out of the courtyard in a dejected manner.
He feared that if he stayed any longer, the woman would break his legs in a fit of anger.
Women's affairs are not something a grown man like him should meddle in.
What a shame!
Seeing that there was no show to watch, the villagers left their courtyards one after another.
"Sister-in-law, are you just going to let him go like this?" This was the first time Liu Yuniang had ever seen Liu the landlord run away with his tail between his legs like this.
"What kind of person is this Mr. Liu?" Lu Qingyao felt that he was not a good person.
But he is a pragmatic person.
“Greedy for money and lustful, lending money at exorbitant interest rates…” Liu Yuniang thought for a moment.
"Has there been any case of abducting women, or committing murder?"
"I haven't heard of that."
Lu Qingyao took Jiang Miaomiao from her son's arms and saw her looking at her with a bewildered expression.
My bad mood vanished instantly.
He called his two sons over and said, "Hurry up and thank your uncle and aunt for protecting you."
The two brothers then bowed deeply to Jiang Yunhu and his wife.
Liu Yuniang was a little embarrassed and quickly helped them up, saying, "No need, no need."
Jiang Yunhu said with a kind expression, "There's no need for that, we're all family."
When he said that, Lu Qingyao knew that the couple had let go of their grudges.
"Brother, I'd like to invite the villagers of Taoxi Village to a meal in the next few days on behalf of the Jiang family. I would appreciate it if you and your wife could help with the arrangements."
"Let's invite that Mr. Liu from earlier as well!"
During her time here, she observed that Taoxi Village has a small population, with only about thirty households.
"Sister-in-law, you don't mean you're planning to use this wild boar meat to entertain them?" Liu Yuniang exclaimed in surprise.
"How can you do that? Those people often make fun of your older brother... and mock our family for being poor."
Many of those so-called villagers had mocked her husband for his lameness.
The thought of that basket of wild boar meat, about to end up in those people's mouths, made her heart ache.
If they don't give them any, their younger siblings will at least get a share from their family.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry about your sister-in-law. She’s just short-sighted. I will definitely take care of this matter.” Jiang Yunhu glanced at his wife.
He knew in his heart that his sister-in-law was supporting him and his wife.
My two nephews are no ordinary people.
They will leave sooner or later.
Whether it's out of kindness or deterrence, it will ultimately fall on the shoulders of the couple.
Liu Yuniang was reluctant, but she still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll marinate the meat for you..."
