The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 63 The Petty Person Approaches_1

Facing Tian Yue’e’s worries, Li Qing said indifferently, "It’s no big deal."

"That old fart already has a bad reputation; he doesn’t have the guts to settle scores after fall. Now that we’re getting our money back, I have nothing to worry about. If push comes to shove, next year I won’t lease the land to him."

"Anyway, there’s no contract. If no one leases it by then, I’ll just let it lie fallow. Better than letting that old fart push me around."

Tian Yue’e still advised, "I think it’s better to be careful, that old fart has some wild tricks up his sleeve."

"We certainly have nothing to fear fair and square, but I’m afraid he’ll resort to dirty tricks, tripping us up. You’re on good terms with his son, maybe pull some strings, build a bridge, and if need be, apologize."

"Yue’er, don’t worry, I’ve got this," Li Qing said reassuringly, but in reality, he couldn’t completely dismiss the matter either.

Hu Youyu, that old geezer, was a bit more cordial with people from his own village.

But with people from other villages, there have been quite a few incidents over the past few years.

He had connections far and wide, and dealings with ruffians who were just scraping by, with ties to both the legitimate and the underworld.

But to let Li Qing go and apologize, he couldn’t swallow his pride, nor could he afford to lose face.

"Let’s go, take a wash, and after you’re cleaned up, head back early. It’s already very late," Tian Yue’e said, after a moment of tenderness in Li Qing’s arms. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Li Qing glanced at his phone; it was past midnight, indeed very late.

Looking at Tian Yue’e’s bare, enchantingly curvy figure as she got out of bed, Li Qing suddenly felt his heart race again.

But at that moment, he really didn’t have the energy left, and could only simply admire.

A woman with a good figure really looks good dressed up, and even better undressed.

But for those with an average figure, they may need a little cover-up to bring out their beauty.

After washing up together in the bathroom, and following a thorough study of Tian Yue’e, Li Qing finally left Tian Yue’e’s home.

Under the same night sky, unbeknownst to Li Qing, not long after he and Tian Yue’e left Hu Youyu’s house with the money, a completely sober Hu Youyu slipped into Tian Laowu’s home.

"Boss Hu, what brings you to my place so late at night?" Tian Laowu, a bachelor, was drowning his sorrows in liquor and was slightly flattered to see Hu Youyu entering.

Boss Hu plopped down and placed a wad of folded bills in front of Tian Laowu, "Old Tian, you need to discipline your niece. Her business is now reaching into our village. How do you, as her elder, stand for this?"

"What do you mean by that, Boss Hu?" Tian Laowu said as his eyes brightened at the sight of the bills, likely amounting to several hundred. Although he asked, he was already very honestly tucking the money into his pocket.

"Don’t play dumb with me," Hu Youyu said angrily. "I’ve leased a few mu of your niece’s land. Just now when I brought the money over, I bumped into that damn Li family brat at the door."

"He was all over your niece, clearly up to no good in the dead of night, thinking I was there to spend money on her, almost beat the hell out of me."

Tian Laowu glanced and had a pretty good idea what had transpired.

He didn’t call it out and just chuckled, feigning anger, "Don’t worry, Boss Hu, I’ll make sure that brat pays. I can’t control what Tian Yue’e does outside, but if she comes back to the village causing trouble and tarnishing the Tian family’s name, I certainly can step in as an elder."

"With that word from you, Old Tian, I’m relieved," said Hu Youyu.

Before even finishing his cigarette, Hu Youyu had already stood up, ready to leave.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Tian Laowu, "Old Tian, I think you should make a big deal out of this. The money I just gave you, that’s just a down payment. Later on, it could be a few hundred or even a thousand, depending on how well you handle this for me!"

Tian Laowu was immediately excited and quickly agreed, "Boss Hu is generous, and I, Tian Laowu, am not one to shirk. Insulting an elder is something that used to get you locked in the ancestral hall and beaten to death. This won’t end small."

Hu Youyu laughed out loud twice and then waved his hand before departing from Tian Laowu’s house.

...

The next day.

In the morning, Li Qing and Han Mei cleaned up the leftover wheat from their own house, and in the afternoon, they went to Tian Yue’e’s greenhouse.

The main task was to transplant the watermelon seedlings, which was also the crop Tian Yue’e was counting on to make money.

Although it was a minor job, working in the greenhouse during the summer turned a small task into a torturous big one.

Unaccustomed to the work, Li Qing ended up being the slowest, lagging far behind Han Mei and Tian Yue’e.

Last night’s tumbling passion had transformed Li Qing into a man and had also made Tian Yue’e radiate with a glowing beauty.

No matter how she tried to hide it, the enchanting charm of a woman simply couldn’t be concealed.

While working, at first the two of them exchanged glances, coming and going.

Later on, the bold and unrestrained Tian Yue’e even dared to give Li Qing a flash of springtime behind Han Mei’s back, letting him have an eyeful.

They kept busy until the evening when it became hard to see in the greenhouse, and only then did the three of them exit.

"Tian Yue’e, you shameless thing!"

A sudden burst of angry scolding sounded head-on.

The three of them looked up to see Tian Laowu holding a willow stick, blocking the path not far from the greenhouse.

"And you, Li Qing, you calamity that curses your entire family to death! Shameless!"

Li Qing’s face turned dark in an instant, "Tian Laowu, you old fool, do you no longer wish to live?"

"Are you threatening me?" Tian Laowu raised the willow stick, snarling fiercely, "Look what the two of you have done, it would be one thing to sell it outside, but now you bring your shame to our village, disgracing our ancestors!"

"Don’t think that the dirty deeds you two did last night have gone unnoticed; the whole village is about to know, yet here you are acting all high and mighty."

"Shameless!!!"

"Tian Yue’e, you shameless whore, you may be without shame, but we still have ours! The ancestors of our Tian family are about to rise from their graves!"

Tian Yue’e’s face turned instantly pale, and her body shook violently.

If it weren’t for Han Mei acting quickly to support her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Li Qing’s eyes darkened almost to the point of dripping water, "Tian Laowu, if you really don’t have any farts to let out of your mouth, then you better start making your own coffin. I’ll personally see to your peaceful burial."

"You old fool who can’t even woo a woman, spending all day spreading gossip like a woman, do you find that amusing?"

As the shouting raged, Li Qing suddenly dashed forward.

Tian Laowu raised the willow stick in his hand, but upon seeing Li Qing charging over like a galloping horse, he immediately tossed the stick and turned to run, "You little bastard, you can do it, but I can’t speak up about it?"

"One sells, one buys, the fine deed you two have done!"
