Chapter 929: Chapter 929: Aren’t You Going to Scram?

Ying Xi had almost finished beating the man when he crouched in front of him and said, “My young miss says that if you dare to bother her again in the future, she will beat you every time she sees you. If once doesn’t make you afraid, there will be a second time, and if two times aren’t enough, then a third. Eventually, you’ll be scared.”

Ge Qifei looked at the expressionless girl in front of him in horror, unable to even resist.

His current disheveled appearance was much more genuine than the airs he put on earlier.

Ying Xi was quite satisfied, “Also, don’t even think about playing any sinister tricks. Otherwise, the fate of Zhang Shu today will be your fate tomorrow.”

Zhang Shu’s fate today… a mute, blinded, madly killed his own mother and is now locked up in the dungeon awaiting execution.

Ge Qifei shuddered violently.

What does she mean, could it be that Zhang Shu ended up like this, all because of Monarch Lu Xiang’s doing?

Wasn’t it said that Zhang Shu was rendered mute and blind because someone couldn’t stand his homosexuality and took action against him?

Ge Qifei broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, thinking yes, Monarch Lu Xiang’s elder sister was bullied like that, and it ended just with a divorce settlement without further consequences, now that he thought about it, it didn’t seem right at all.

He lifted his head and looked at Ying Xi in front of him, swallowing hard.

Ying Xi narrowed her eyes, “Aren’t you going to get lost quickly?”

Ge Qifei, not even bothering with the pain on his body, scrambled up and fled. He fell every couple of steps before picking himself up again.

Ying Xi just watched him leave Shangshi Village, knowing in her mind what he would likely say upon his return.

She straightened her clothes and turned around to return to Lu Dasong’s house.

When Shu Yu saw her return, she just glanced up, exchanged a look with her, and continued talking.

Looking at the time, it had been quite some time, even Ying Xi had dealt with Ge Qifei, but Eldest Uncle had not returned yet.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but ask Madam Li, “Does our family have a lot of fields? Can we manage all the work?”

Madam Li replied with a smile, “We can manage. Last year, Daniu went to the county town to look after your family’s shop, Erniu started at the private school, and Lanhua got engaged, so the only ones left to do the farm work are me and your Eldest Uncle. That’s why, we leased out two acres of land, which lightened our workload a lot.”

The main reason was that Daniu, as the shopkeeper, earned three taels of silver in monthly wages.

These wages are much more profitable than farming, not to mention that renting out the land also brings in some rental income. If things get too busy, her brothers from her maiden home could also come and help out.

Shu Yu felt relieved upon hearing this.

Speaking of her brothers from her maiden family, Madam Li suddenly remembered what Shu Yu had mentioned earlier and eagerly asked, “Yu, about working in the county town mansion, is there a wage?”

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhong also looked over; he was very interested in this matter as well.

Shu Yu nodded, “Of course, there is a wage.”

Madam Li’s eyes brightened, and she quickly asked, “Do you think my two brothers could go?”

Since there is a wage, it’s profitable for others in the village, and it’s also profitable for her own maiden brothers.

Introducing such a good job to her sister-in-law would naturally bring her more rewards.

Madam Li’s elder brother?

Shu Yu had heard about him from the old lady; despite Madam Li’s unimpressive manner, her brothers were very reasonable. Otherwise, the old lady would not have favored Madam Li for that reason, allowing her to become the Lu family’s eldest daughter-in-law.

Shu Yu nodded, “It’s possible for them to go, but as I said earlier, it’s the busy farming season right now, and they might not be able to manage.”

Madam Li waved her hand, “They will definitely be able to manage.”
