The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 844: Mediating a Fight

Listening to this woman’s grandiloquent talk, Li Qing realized that she might have some insider information, but it probably wasn’t much.

Perhaps her unique vision was the real reason she chose their village.

But no matter how one looked at it, having entrepreneurs from outside come to the village was definitely a good thing.

With their involvement, Qin Wenjun’s plan would be able to proceed more smoothly.

Only, their arrival was faster than Li Qing had anticipated; according to Qin Wenjun’s plan, they were supposed to start attracting investment and begin operations formally after the project was completed.

The current situation was actually all quite spontaneous.

The progress of these matters had far outpaced Qin Wenjun’s plan, and for now, the two were unrelated.

"Someone’s actually prepared to rent out a courtyard, how much is your budget?" Li Qing asked, looking at the group messages on his phone.

"Given the current situation in your village, a small courtyard would probably be about five or six thousand a year, right?" the woman pondered for a moment and asked, "First, ask around for the price; if it’s reasonable, I’ll rent it."

Li Qing opened the reply icon of the person, preparing to add them in private to discuss this matter.

But when he opened the icon and took a closer look, he immediately dismissed the idea, "This person, I think I’d better not bother. If you rent from him, you won’t have peace; I’ll look into it further."

The person messaging him in the group turned out to be Xu Sanwang.

This dude, Li Qing really didn’t want to mess with, better forget it.

"Is this person’s character not good?" The woman craned her neck, asking with some curiosity.

"Indeed, he can’t be considered good," Li Qing nodded and replied.

"Oh... then let’s forget it," the woman shrank her sleeves and said, "Big brother, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’m glad I found you; otherwise, I might have fallen into a pit. Don’t worry, once I sign the contract, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Li Qing smiled and didn’t make much of it.

"That, big brother, does your house rent? Otherwise, I’d rent one or two rooms," the woman suddenly said.

"My house is still being renovated, and also, we have quite a few people at home, so we really don’t have extra space," said Li Qing.

In fact, once his house was complete, Han Mei’s house could be vacated, but by then Li Qing wouldn’t bother with this small amount of money.

"That’s all right then; I thought you seemed like a good person, and I was hoping to take some advantage," the woman shoved her hands under her armpits, turned her head to glance inside the Gao Family’s house, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I quite like the location of their house, but it seems there is little hope for that."

Suddenly, Li Qing exclaimed quietly, "I got so caught up talking to you, I forgot my real business. I’m here to stop a fight. If you’re not in a hurry, just wait a bit longer. No one in the group has replied yet; I’ll go stop the fight first."

The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Bro, you’re totally abandoning righteousness at the sight of beauty."

"Kind of," Li Qing glanced at the woman’s distinctive figure and joked, then hurriedly strode into the Gao family’s house.

The tinkling sounds in the courtyard finally stopped, and it seemed Yang Xuelan was tired from hitting, sitting at the doorway resting, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Gao Li, who was shrinking his neck in a corner of the courtyard.

Although the two were quite far apart, the intense resentment and murderous aura almost overflowed the entire courtyard.

Li Qing pretended he had just arrived, avoiding the clutter in the courtyard, and walked over to ask, "Are you two planning to tear down the house and rebuild it?"

"Qingzi, it’s even better that you’re here, help me out, throw this disgusting bastard out, I can’t move right now, otherwise, I’d definitely kill him." The moment Yang Xuelan saw Li Qing, her bellyful of anger surged up again, her fingers wildly pointing at Gao Li as she cursed at Li Qing, "Guess what he did? It’s something no human would do, even the ancestors of the Gao family would be too ashamed to stay in their graves!"

"How big of a deal is it to make such a fuss?" Li Qing deliberately asked, then nudged Gao Li, who was playing dead, with his fist.

Actually, he had vaguely heard what was going on when he just arrived.

Gao Li had been cheated by a few "Immortals" and Yang Xuelan found out about it.

"How big of a deal? It’s a huge deal!" Yang Xuelan cursed angrily, "I’m pregnant and can’t do that sort of thing, I get that he’s addicted and went out to find women, I could understand that as long as I didn’t know, I wouldn’t even fart about it."

"But he had to let me find out, and those women even called me to ask for money!"

"Ssst..." Li Qing feigned surprise with a sharp hiss, then kicked Gao Li and asked, "Who did you find, what exactly happened? Don’t hold back, not even a fart. Your wife just said, finding women isn’t illegal, it’s understandable, then at least clarify it clearly!"

"This... I didn’t do anything!" Gao Li’s face turned red and he beat his chest and stomped his feet as he shouted, "I went into the city yesterday to find out which hospital was good for childbirth, then I planned to rent a small apartment nearby the hospital for convenience during the birth. I randomly entered a daily-rental house, and right when I entered, a few women were talking at the doorway, I said I just wanted to rent a single room."

"Then one of the women said she was the landlord, wanting to show me the room, I had no suspicions, but who knew that once inside the room, that woman pushed me onto the bed, and sat right on my legs, I swear it’s the first time I’ve been forcefully fed like that."

"Then..."

As Li Qing heard him reaching the critical part of the story, he immediately interrupted Gao Li, telling Yang Xuelan, "Listening to this, it seems Gao Li can’t entirely be blamed, right? He didn’t initiate it, he was completely set up, didn’t do a thing, and ended up being extorted?"

After kicking Gao Li again, Li Qing asked sternly, "Why didn’t you call the police then?"

"I didn’t have a chance, several guys were holding me down, they took my phone, searched me for money, even asked for my card’s PIN, I told them I had no money, then they threatened to call Xuelan, and... that happened." Gao Li said with his head down.

"Anyway, I only had one thought at the time—kill me fine, but trying to take the money from my card? No way! They tormented me all night, and when they didn’t get the money this morning, they let me go, I immediately reported it to the police after getting out, but the people had already vanished."

"That woman wasn’t even a real landlord, and even the house wasn’t hers, it was a sublet daily-rental. The young man who rented that room had gone on a business trip, and when he received the call from the police, he was baffled, and the worst part is, he didn’t even have that woman’s contact information, let alone any identification."

Li Qing said somewhat speechlessly, "You’ve been duped in a truly impressive manner. People doing this would definitely have their escape planned, how could they give you a chance to call the police after leaving? A sublet house for daily rent, you only stay a few days, how could there be any real identification or contact information? If there were any, they’d be fake."
