The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 60 Accident_1

This simple sentence made Li Qing lose his composure instantly.

"Yue’er, are you... are you better down there?" he asked excitedly.

Tian Yue’e smiled like a blooming peony and pursed her lips as she said, "Come over tonight, and I’ll crush you!"

Li Qing’s little heart suddenly couldn’t help beating wildly.

He couldn’t resist grabbing two handfuls of Tian Yue’e’s plump buttocks, "I’ll make you flood the sheets."

"Keep dreaming," Tian Yue’e chuckled, "Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner’s ready."

"Sure!"

Li Qing quickly agreed, and the excitement in his eyebrows couldn’t be hidden.

After dinner, Tian Yue’e held Han Mei’s hand and talked to her about offshoot planting for the vegetables.

It turned out her eagerness today, prying open the door to Han Mei’s house to cook, wasn’t just to tell Li Qing that she was better down there, but also to ask Li Qing and Han Mei to help her out in the greenhouse when they were free.

And offshoot planting for the vegetables was a very tedious task.

Tian Yue’e had several greenhouses and couldn’t manage them all on her own.

Han Mei finally seized the chance for revenge, gave Tian Yue’e a hard time about it, and then agreed to help.

When a person starts looking forward to something, time becomes torturous.

After returning home, Li Qing eagerly awaited the deepening twilight.

The feeling was like years dragging by.

It was too early to go over, easy to be spotted, somewhere around nine or ten o’clock would be just right.

But Li Qing never realized how difficult it would be to wait until nine o’clock in the evening.

Every few minutes, he couldn’t help but check his phone.

Seeing it was just past nine, Li Qing immediately turned off the light, locked the door, got dressed, and left the house.

All the way there, he practically jogged to Tian Yue’e’s place.

But before he even got to Tian Yue’e’s, from a distance, he saw two people standing under the streetlight at her door.

The tall figure with the pronounced front and back undoubtedly was Tian Yue’e.

The other was a slightly hunched-over fat man.

Tian Yue’e had dealings with another man?

No sooner had this thought crossed Li Qing’s mind than he recognized the man.

It was that old fox Hu Youyu.

Seeing Hu Youyu staggering toward Tian Yue’e and reaching out to pull her, Li Qing was immediately incensed.

He dashed forward, confronted Hu Youyu’s plump face, and landed a fierce punch.

"You old bastard, let go of her!"

Hu Youyu was caught off guard and stumbled to the ground, "You little bastard, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I’m going to let the whole village see your true face!" Li Qing straddled Hu Youyu, raised his hand, and gave him a harsh slap, "I’ve heard long ago that you’ve had your eye on Tian Yue’e, deliberately holding back her contract fee trying to take advantage, and now you’ve been caught red-handed by me!"

"Bullshit, which eye of yours saw me coveting Tian Yue’e, get off me!" Hu Youyu roared in anger.

"Denying it to the death, huh? No problem." Li Qing threw another slap and yelled at Tian Yue’e, "Yue’er, call for help quickly, and shout for Auntie Yu Lan and Hu Wei, let them all see what this old fox is truly like."

Hearing that Li Qing was serious, Hu Youyu suddenly grew timid.

"Qingzi, first let me go. I really didn’t mean anything else, I just had a bit to drink tonight and spoke out of turn."

Li Qing’s face was grim as he grabbed Hu Youyu by the collar and smashed him to the ground twice, "One offensive remark and that’s it? You conduct your business with such fanfare, but as a person, you’re truly trash!"

"Yue’er, don’t bother with him, go call for help quickly!"

"Wait, wait." Hu Youyu hastily shouted, "Can we discuss this and work something out? I’ll pay!"

"Three hundred per person, and we’ll let this go. All right? I really didn’t do much."

Li Qing looked up at Tian Yue’e.

Seeing her nod slightly, he then hit Hu Youyu hard again and said fiercely, "You cling to our money and refuse to pay, but when you run into trouble, you think of settling it with money? Three hundred isn’t enough, five hundred! You must pay both our families’ money at once!"

"I’ll pay, I’ll pay it all!" Hu Youyu said through gritted teeth.

"Yue’er, what do you think?" Li Qing asked deliberately.

"...Fine." Tian Yue’e glared resentfully at Hu Youyu and nodded.

"Old geezer, did you hear that? Hand over the money," Li Qing raised his hand as if ready to slap and barked. "Once the money is paid, we can forget about today’s incident."

"Where would I have the money now, I’ll have to fetch it from home!" Hu Youyu said with a downcast face.

"Then let’s go to your home to get it, we’ll accompany you!" Li Qing yanked Hu Youyu to his feet.

Hu Youyu stood up, rubbing his burning cheeks, and walked out first.

He glanced at Li Qing with a sullen look but ultimately didn’t dare to say more.

He could not beat the younger and stronger Li Qing even when he was sober, let alone today when he had had some drink, and felt weak and unsteady.

"Move it, what are you dawdling for!" Li Qing snapped.

Finding leverage over this old geezer was not easy, and he was not about to let this opportunity slip away.

Knowing this old coot’s character, something would definitely change by tomorrow.

Getting the money in hand now was the safest bet.

When the three of them arrived at Hu Youyu’s house, they happened to bump into Yu Lan coming out of the kitchen, ready to dump the dirty water.

"Money-wasting woman, move aside." Hu Youyu cursed and marched straight upstairs.

Li Qing and Tian Yue’e did not go up but waited below.

Yu Lan, dressed in simple house clothes, glanced at Li Qing but said nothing.

She greeted neither Li Qing nor Tian Yue’e, nor inquired about what had happened, and simply carried the bucket of dirty water out of the house.

Before long, Hu Youyu came down from upstairs with a stack of money, which he threw into Li Qing’s hands, "Count it carefully and write me a note that with this, today’s matter is settled. All right?"

Li Qing did not speak but counted the money carefully first, then handed it to Tian Yue’e.

"A total of nine thousand five hundred, Yue’er, you check it."

Hu Youyu’s own four thousand and how much Tian Yue’e actually had, he was not too clear.

"It’s right," Tian Yue’e said after counting it. "Besides our two families’ contracting fees, there’s an extra thousand."

Li Qing then wrote a note, merely mentioning the settlement of the contracting fees.

Without further ado, they left Hu Youyu’s house.

"Had I known Hu Youyu was this sort of person, I would rather let my land lie fallow than contract it to him," Tian Yue’e said indignantly on the way.

Li Qing shared the same sentiment.

They indeed had followed their initial verbal agreement, contracting to Hu Youyu for the past two years.

But now, Hu Youyu was obviously starting to act dishonestly.

"Lucky for me, Qingzi, you were here, or else I might have been in trouble today." Tian Yue’e suddenly laughed softly, hugged Li Qing’s head, and gave him a big kiss, "Let’s go, go home. Tonight, I’ll definitely take good care of our Qingzi, letting you have a taste of being a little immortal."
