The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 102 Li Qing’s Women _1

"Qingzi, how could you do such a thing!"

Han Mei deeply furrowed her brows, her face full of worry.

Li Qing chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you and Yue’er don’t need to worry anymore. I saw it with my own eyes, for real, Hu Youyu called a few cronies and ate those two pheasants."

"What? You fought someone over this?!" Han Mei was taken aback.

"That’s not it." Li Qing shook his head, "I hit him because he bullied you and Yue’er!"

"If I hadn’t been reluctant to leave you and Yue’er, I would have definitely killed him today!"

Han Mei was stunned.

Tian Yue’e also froze in the moment, her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes full of emotion.

"But you can’t be so impulsive, what do we do about this situation now? You went to his house to fight, if Hu Youyu really persists, no, he will definitely persist, you could end up in jail!" Han Mei said anxiously.

"Fighting doesn’t lead to jail," Li Qing laughed, "At most they’ll detain me for some reeducation."

"Besides, he hit me too, and even threw manure on my front door."

"Don’t talk about it so lightly, this is no small matter," Tian Yue’e interjected.

"How about this, let’s go into hiding for a while."

Li Qing hadn’t expected to come up with the same idea as Yang Xuelan.

It seems that when ordinary people encounter such situations, the common thought is to hide away.

"Right, let’s go into hiding, we’ll all go together!" Han Mei’s eyes lit up as she spoke urgently, "We can spend some peaceful time away and then come back. It just so happens we’ve all saved a little money recently, so we won’t starve to death."

"What about the greenhouses full of vegetables that Yue’er’s been tending?" Li Qing took Han Mei’s hand and spoke softly, "Sister-in-law, don’t be so nervous, really, it’ll be okay."

"You have to trust me, I thought about the consequences before I did this."

Tian Yue’e spoke irritably, "What do you want us to believe in? How can we stand up to Hu Youyu with anything?"

Li Qing smiled faintly and spoke solemnly, "If Hu Youyu pulls some strings, at worst I’ll just get a couple of days of education, it’s no big deal. If he tries to find people to beat me up like before, I’m not scared anymore, because I’ve met a tough guy."

"What... tough guy?" Han Mei’s face instantly filled with more worry.

"Here’s the thing, when I was selling Wenguan Leaves yesterday, I met a boss. He hasn’t been on the straight and narrow in the past, and seems to have a bit of a reputation in the county town. He asked me to help him buy Wenguan Leaves, and after he heard about Hu Youyu, he told me not to worry about it and leave it to him to handle." Li Qing explained truthfully.

He simply avoided mentioning his active search for Lü Zong.

"If Hu Youyu really uses those underhanded tactics again, now there are plenty of people who can take care of him," Li Qing said.

Han Mei was clearly skeptical, "Are you trying to deceive us?"

"How could you just happen to come across such a person?"

Tian Yue’e kept nodding beside her, obviously also doubtful.

Li Qing gently stroked the back of Han Mei’s hand and spoke softly, "Sister-in-law, if it weren’t for that man’s promise, I really wouldn’t have dared to make such a scene today. To deal with someone like Hu Youyu, you have to be tougher than him; otherwise, he’ll only bully you more fiercely."

"Sister-in-law, Yue’er, you can rest assured, I really do have a sense of proportion about this situation!"

"Ah..." Han Mei sighed deeply, "Since you say so, I won’t say anything more."

"Actually, if Qingzi really knows such a person, maybe what he’s doing is indeed right," Tian Yue’e said, seeing the situation, and took the opportunity to mediate, "What Qingzi said isn’t wrong, to fight a villain like Hu Youyu, you really have to be tougher than him!"

"Now that things have come to this, let’s wait and see," Han Mei said softly.

She was still somewhat worried.

But seeing that Li Qing couldn’t be persuaded, she had no choice but to temporarily accept Li Qing’s explanation.

"Let’s go, let’s head back and rest for a while. There will be a way when we get to the mountain. If there’s really no other way, we’ll discuss it again," Tian Yue’e said softly as she supported Han Mei’s arm.

Han Mei nodded her head.

Tian Yue’e gave Li Qing a look, then led Han Mei away.

Li Qing stood at the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

He hoped that Lü Zong wouldn’t just be all talk; otherwise, there would indeed be some trouble in the future.

Lost in thought for a moment, Li Qing bent his head and continued to scrub the gate with a brush. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In the corners and edges, there were still traces of filth, which were troublesome to clean.

If Hu Youyu, that old bastard, wasn’t thoroughly dealt with, things like having excrement thrown at him would certainly happen frequently, and Li Qing didn’t want to never have peace.

After finally finishing cleaning the gate, Li Qing saw that it was already past two o’clock.

Exhausted and drained from today’s events, he washed up, put away the mop, and other cleaning supplies, then lay down on the sofa.

He was just about to take a nap when suddenly a figure appeared at the door.

The person who came in was silent, startling Li Qing.

He turned over to look, and it was Yu Lan who had entered.

"Auntie, why are you here? Your face... what happened?" Li Qing asked in shock.

Yu Lan sat down beside Li Qing, took hold of his hand, and placed a stack of money very solemnly in his palm.

"Take it, don’t refuse."

Li Qing was somewhat dumbfounded.

Why would she also be giving him money?

"Auntie, your face, did he hit you?" Li Qing asked angrily.

Yu Lan looked serious, shook her head, and said, "Listen to me first."

"Actually, I’ve always yearned for love. In my imagination, it should be a very beautiful thing."

"Unfortunately, I don’t deserve it. With my parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words, I had no right to choose."

"Qingzi, you let me see love. Although we haven’t spoken much to each other and only... did it once, but I already feel very blessed, and I will always remember it."

"Take this money and run."

Li Qing clasped Yu Lan’s hand, opened her palm, and placed the money just as solemnly back into Yu Lan’s palm, "Auntie, keep it, I won’t take this money."

Seeing that Yu Lan was about to say something, Li Qing spoke first, "Auntie, now you listen to me."

"I don’t want this kind of love to become just a memory now; I want to continue it, keep it going forever!"

"I don’t just want to do it with Auntie once; I want to keep on... doing it."

Yu Lan’s face turned slightly red, then she urgently said, "I want to continue too, but now it’s impossible. Hu Youyu has already gone to find people when I just came over. You can’t fight him; take my advice and leave quickly!"

"It’s okay, Auntie, trust me," Li Qing said soothingly, "Hu Youyu will look for people; I had already guessed that."

"He has his people, and I have my ways!"
