Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 13
"Then you mean to give up the lives of our mothers?"

The village chief didn't answer her, but just squatted on the ground smoking a dry pipe.

At this moment, Li Ermazi saw that he had frightened the villagers of Tianshui Village, and the village chief also helped him speak, and suddenly became arrogant again.

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to stay in Tianshui Village. As long as Mrs. Su agrees to one condition, I will immediately persuade the owner to reduce the rent to [-]% of the original rent."

"What conditions?" Tian Liusu asked him suppressing his anger.

"If you agree to be my concubine, I promise to persuade the owner to reduce the rent back to the original [-]%."

"Li Er, you are dreaming. Although Madam Su is married and has children, she is both talented and beautiful. She will be your concubine? How dare you think about it." Sister-in-law Song was so angry that she opened her mouth at first.

"Hmph, if you refuse to agree, then I have no choice but to let you leave Tianshui Village." Li Er said to Tian Liusu.

"Hmph, you toad really don't want to die until the Yellow River. It seems that if you don't take off your other arm today, you won't have a long memory."

When Tian Liusu saw Mrs. Song defending her, she was silent for a while and finally spoke.

"Miss Su, don't be so stubborn. You are a woman with a child. I am willing to accept you as a concubine. It is your blessing. Besides, you will not worry about food and drink if you follow me. Isn't it better than you being kicked out?" ?”

Tian Liusu didn't respond to him, she turned to the village head and asked: "Village head, as long as the owner of Qin Zhuang is willing to lower the land rent, will you agree with me to stay in Tianshui Village?"

"Yes." The village head also firmly agreed.

"Since all the folks are here today, I won't be brave enough to fix you for a while. Now, I'm going to find Zhuangzhu Qin to make a theory."

Tian Liusu thought to himself that it would be good if Qin Baozhu was sensible, but if it really didn't work, she would have to make another move.

"Miss Su, I'll go with you." Sister-in-law Song stood up first to agree with Tian Liusu.

The villagers felt that the matter was important, and it might not be useful for Tian Liusu to go alone, so they all stood up and expressed their willingness to go to Qinjiazhuang with her. Tian Liusu counted the number of people, and then asked Mrs. Song to lead the way. They came to Qinjiazhuang mightily.

Seeing that Tian Liusu really encouraged the villagers to go to Qin's Village, Li Ermazi became anxious again. He pulled a servant and told him to report to Qin Baozhu first, and then he followed.

When he arrived at Qinjiazhuang, Tian Liusu took a look, and saw that the Zhuangzi was a wooden structure building, which was magnificent and luxurious. The ground was all paved with bluestone slabs. There was a vermilion gate and two stone lions standing in front of the gate, majestic and majestic. .

Tian Liusu immediately reached out to knock on the door. After patting for a while, the door opened a crack. The gatekeeper came out and asked her who she was looking for. Tian Liusu said that he wanted to find the owner of Qin, but the gatekeeper said that the owner was out on business and was not at home. .

The villagers were disappointed when they heard this, and Li Er, who followed, sneered and said, "Since you are protecting this woman so much, then don't blame me for being rude. Now go back and prepare to rent a house. I will take someone with you in a while." Collect all the rent."

"How can this be? The master of Qinzhuang is not here, let's talk about it when he comes back." Someone in the crowd said.

"Hmph, the young master is out on errands, and he won't be back for a while." After Li Er finished speaking, he stopped caring about the crowd and went to the village with his family first.

A group of people came excitedly and left in disappointment. On the way back, the villagers secretly suggested to the village head that Tian Liusu should leave Tianshui Village. The village head promised that the villagers would forcibly drive their mother and child out the next day.

The villagers dispersed one after another and went back to their respective homes. Tian Liusu led the two children and Sister-in-law Song on the road, and asked as they walked, "Sister-in-law, how is the owner of Qin Zhuang? What kind of person is he on weekdays?"

"Hey, the owner of the Qin family is also pitiful. When the old owner and his wife were there, the Qin family was the wealthiest village in the ten miles and eight villages. The Qin family was smart and studious when he was young, but when he was 13 years old, both parents He passed away, leaving him alone. At first he worked hard to run the village, but later he got into bad habits with other big families in the town. The current Qin Family Manor is actually just an empty shell, and he only lives on the rent from these tenants."

When Tian Liusu heard this, he thought about it in his heart. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Qin must not manage the family business very much now, so he let Li Ermazi take advantage of it to cause harm to the neighbors, right?

"Grab her, don't let her run away..." Tian Liusu and Sister-in-Law Song had just reached a fork in the road outside Zhuangzi, when they heard a burst of shouting, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps.

I saw a woman with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes running towards her and Mrs. Song with bare feet. Her foot was punctured and bled, leaving a series of blood marks on the road, followed by a group of servant-like people holding sticks chasing after her.

Seeing someone here, the woman ran over a few steps and knelt in front of her and Mrs. Song, and shouted: "Madam, please do me a favor, help me, help me."

Sister-in-law Song is a warm-hearted person, seeing that woman like this, she had already pulled her up and pulled her behind her, looking at the group of servants who were rushing towards her.

"Let go of that woman, she belongs to our son." Seeing that Sister Song hid the woman behind her back, a servant ran over and pointed a stick at Sister Song and shouted.

"In broad daylight, is there any law to rob people's daughters by force?" Tian Liusu stood calmly at the intersection, looking at the few people who were chasing after him.

"She is the concubine our young master bought from the brothel. She dared to run away if she didn't follow the young master. Don't meddle in your own business, or I will beat you together." The servant holding a stick yelled at her.

After a while, there were three more people chasing after them out of breath. One of them was wearing a sapphire blue satin Confucian shirt. He was dressed in a luxurious style. He was wearing a hat that was the most popular in the town this year, and a pure gold collar was hanging around his neck. Glittering under the sunlight, the most peculiar thing is his waist, with a circle of purses and sachets hanging on his belt.

The man looked handsome and soft, young, with a romantic air, he ran over with the support of two servants, without looking at Tian Liusu and Sister-in-law Song, bypassing Sister-in-law Song She pushed away, then kicked the girl behind Mrs. Song, throwing her to the ground.

"Bitch maid, how dare you run away. You want me to waste money for nothing. Shame on you. I will take you back and peel you off." The young man scolded and stretched out his hand to grab the stick in the hand of one of the servants. His hand hit the woman.

"Enough." Tian Liusu reached out and grabbed the other end of the stick, twisted and twisted it skillfully, and the stick came into her hands.

"Huh?" Seeing that Tian Liusu snatched his stick lightly and deftly, the young master couldn't help being a little surprised, and then turned his head to look at Sister Song and Tian Liusu.
