Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1766: She Is a Reasonable Person

What?

Inside the room, Gu Jinli laughed when she heard this. Invasion of private property? Who exactly is occupying whose house?

Outside, Qin San Lang said, "Got it, keep them calm for now, appear a bit weak, let them think we are in the wrong and afraid of them, we’ll deal with it after we’ve had breakfast."

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Zhong took the order and left.

Qin San Lang turned around and entered the room. After closing the door, he said to Gu Jinli, who had come out from the inner room, "They’ve come, probably intending to falsely accuse us of invading private property to extort silver, and they want quite a lot."

They made a special effort to set up a village as a trap and brought so many people to surround the village entrance, they’re asking for no less than three hundred taels.

He laughed again, "Xiao Yu must be hungry, let’s have breakfast first."

Gu Jinli rubbed her stomach and smiled, "Yes, I’m hungry. But if we meet them after having breakfast, won’t those people be furious?"

Qin San Lang walked over, hugged her, placed his palm on her stomach, warming it with his hand, "They should thank us for being late so they can get beaten up a bit later."

Gu Jinli burst out laughing, looked up at him, and asked, "When did you learn to be so tricky?"

Qin San Lang looked down at her, "Tricky? It’s plainly the truth."

After he finished speaking, he kissed her, making her breathless before he let her go satisfied.

A moment later, Erqing and the others brought the prepared breakfast from the kitchen in the backyard.

The breakfast was nice, fresh rice porridge, light side dishes, solid bread, and luxurious boiled eggs.

Eggs are a rare item now, each of them can only eat one per meal, Qin San Lang felt guilty watching, promising, "Next time, I’ll send someone to buy more eggs so Xiao Yu can eat more to nourish herself."

As he spoke, he brought the egg to her mouth, but she glared at him in return.

"Eat your own." Gu Jinli said, "Poisonous insects have harmed a lot of poultry, fewer eggs are inevitable. After a few months, when all the provinces in the Northwest raise live chickens, we’ll have plenty of eggs to eat."

Moreover...

"I have cubilose and ginseng tea, which is enough for nourishment, you don’t need to worry about me lacking nutrition."

Qin San Lang listened and said, "But Xiao Yu likes to eat good food."

Gu Jinli squinted at him, "What do you mean? Do you think I’m a foodie?"

Qin San Lang laughed, "Xiao Yu herself said she wants to be a wealthy foodie."

Uh, Gu Jinli was at a loss for words. She did say that... At that time, when Qin San Lang asked her, Xiao Yu, what’s the ultimate purpose of buying land and becoming a landlady? She said, of course it’s to become a foodie who can lie down and enjoy all kinds of delicious food.

But at that time, he answered her, apart from family matters, he wants to let her live as she pleases because he’s climbing up for them.

With such nice words, there must be something to be done.

Recalling those times, Gu Jinli blushed even more, while blushing, his thumb brushed against her cheek, and Qin San Lang’s voice came with a smile, "Xiao Yu, what are you thinking?"

Looking at her face, she must be thinking about something he likes.

Gu Jinli looked up, meeting his all-seeing gaze, and with anger out of shame, "I’m thinking about how my Snowdown quilt and anti-itching medicine can earn a large sum of silver again this time, so I’m excited. When I’m excited, I blush."

It’s not what you think, got it?!

Qin San Lang is an insightful person, nodding after hearing her words, obediently saying, "I think so too."

Gu Jinli: "..."

He got her speechless again, drink, she needed a sip to ease this.

The two laughed and joked as they ate breakfast, taking thirty minutes to finish.

Gu Jinli even said, "After just eating, it’s not good to work too hard, let’s rest for a while."

"Sure." Qin San Lang knew she was deliberately keeping those people at the village entrance waiting, so he was happy to accompany her.

The two rested for about forty-five minutes, almost falling asleep again.

While they were drowsy, Erqing came knocking on the door, speaking from the entrance, "Sir, Madam, Section Leader Zhang sent someone to report that the people at the village entrance are getting impatient and are making a fuss about charging into the village. Section Leader Zhang asks if we should let them rush in or tie them up on the spot?"

Gu Jinli said, "Let them come in, but wait until they reach the open space in front of the courtyard, then beat them up and tie them up."

She added, "I am a reasonable person; if they don’t rush into my territory, how can I have any reason to beat them up?"

The open space in front of the courtyard is her property.

Qin San Lang almost laughed when he heard this. His Xiao Yu is truly adorable, and yes, also reasonable.

"Yes, I’ll relay the message." Erqing stifled her laughter and quickly went to convey the message to the soldiers under Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong is also shrewd, specifically choosing a squad of lean and injured soldiers to block at the village entrance. Seeing this, those surrounding the village were less scared, more arrogant.

When they heard the message brought back by the limping soldier, they were furious. The leader Elder Qian pointed at them, cursing, "Oh, a fine group of bandits in battle armor, occupying my private house and being so arrogant, oppressing us common folks!"

Beside Elder Qian, an old woman in her fifties or sixties immediately sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing, "Oh dear, there’s no justice, the soldiers are bullying farmers. I can’t live anymore, I’m going to die at the Gu Family Village entrance. Once I’m in hell, I’ll definitely report you soldiers!"

Zhang Zhong laughed, pointing at the empty village entrance, "Old lady, there’s not even a big rock here for you to use, how are you going to crash against it? Crash against the earth?"

Wouldn’t she have to make a hole in the dirt to crash against it?

Sixth Aunt Qian was stumped, her cries stopped, and she had no tears in her eyes. Her old face was devoid of grief, only sharp and ferocious.

Elder Qian, seeing things about to go wrong, hurried over, "Old aunt, don’t do anything foolish. Our family has house and land deeds. Even if these soldiers bully us, the government office will stand up for our Qian Family!"

The four government officials nearby heard this, and the leading one immediately stepped forward, pointing at Zhang Zhong, "You bully people too much! The Qian Family bought all the houses and lands in Gu Family Village, you moved in without asking, invading private property, and when the owners came to question, you blocked them with soldiers, even bullying the elderly, forcing them to death... Under heaven above, I, Ding Dayong, while receiving the court’s salary, must uphold justice for the people upon seeing such a wicked act!"

After speaking, he summoned the officials and the large group blocking the village entrance, "Everyone, charge with me, today we must demand an explanation for the Qian Family!"

"These soldiers have lost their conscience, let’s charge into the village to find that Evil Man Company Commander and demand justice for the Qian Family, charge!" A large group of people, wielding hoes, shovels, sticks, and stones, rushed towards Zhang Zhong and his men.

Zhang Zhong sneered, waved his hand, and thirty soldiers behind him immediately retreated to the sides.

The group of people rushed in vain, a few fell flat on their faces, eating dirt.

One unlucky one smashed his forehead against the stone he was holding, cutting it.

Zhang Zhong felt pain just watching, where did the Qian Family find such a bunch of fools?

"Why are you in such a hurry? We never said you couldn’t go in, go on in."

This group was furious, pointing at Zhang Zhong, "Then why did you block us before?!"

If you hadn’t blocked us earlier, would we be so furious?

Zhang Zhong replied, "Our Company Commander was eating breakfast before, how could we let you in to disturb? Now that breakfast is over, you can go in."

Hearing this, Elder Qian and the others nearly spat out old blood, pointing at Zhang Zhong, "You just wait for us, let’s go!"

With that, they led the pack of henchmen, mightily heading into the village.
