Ying Xi had beaten him enough, so she squatted down in front of him and said, "Our young miss said that if you dare to bother her again, she will beat you every time she sees you. If one time is not enough, she will do it twice. If twice is not enough, she will do it three times. She will keep beating you until you're scared."
Geng Qi Fei looked at the expressionless girl in front of him, his face filled with terror. He couldn't even resist.
His current disheveled appearance was much more genuine than his previous pretense.
Ying Xi was quite satisfied. "Also, don't even think about using any underhanded tricks. Otherwise, what happened to Zhang Shu will be your fate."
Zhang Shu... mute, blind, insane, and killed his own mother. He was imprisoned and awaiting execution.
Geng Qi Fei shuddered violently.
What did she mean? Could it be that Zhang Shu ended up like that all because of village lord Lu?
Wasn't it because someone couldn't tolerate the fact that he was homosexual that they took action against him, cutting off his tongue and blinding him?
Geng Qi Fei instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, after her elder sister was bullied to that extent, she only led people to divorce them, and then there was no further news. Now that he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
He lifted his head and looked at Ying Xi, swallowing hard.
Ying Xi narrowed her eyes. "Why haven't you left yet?"
Geng Qi Fei didn't even care about the soreness in his body. He stumbled to his feet and ran away, falling with every two steps he took before getting up again.
Ying Xi watched as he left Shishi Village. She had a pretty good idea of what he would say when he returned.
She straightened her clothes, turned around, and went back to the Lu family's residence.
When Shu Yu saw her return, she merely glanced at her, and they exchanged a glance before continuing their conversation.
Shu Yu looked at the time. It had been quite a while, and even after Ying Xi finished dealing with Geng Qi Fei, eldest Uncle hadn't returned yet.
Unable to help herself, Shu Yu asked Li Shi, "Do we have a lot of land at home? Can we manage the workload?"
Li Shi smiled and said, "We can manage. Last year, Da Niu went to the county town to manage your store, Er Niu started attending a private school, and Lan Hua is engaged now. It's only me and your Uncle who can do the work. That's why we rented out two acres of land, which lightened our load."
The main reason was that Da Niu managed the store. As the store shopkeeper, he earned three to five taels of silver a month. This was much more profitable than farming. Moreover, renting out the land also brought in some income. If they couldn't handle the workload, Li Shi's relatives from her maiden family could come and help.
Shu Yu felt relieved upon hearing this.
Speaking of her maternal relatives, Li Shi thought of what Shu Yu had just mentioned and hurriedly asked, "Ah Yu, are there wages for working at your mansion in the county town?"
When she said this, Fan Zhongzheng also paid attention. He was quite interested in this matter.
Shu Yu nodded. "Of course, there are wages."
Li Shi's eyes brightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Can my two brothers go?"
Since there were wages, it would be a profit for the people in the village as well as for her maternal relatives.
She had introduced such a good job to her older brother and sister-in-law, so naturally, she would receive a good return.
Li Shi's older brother? Shu Yu had heard the old lady mention him before. Li Shi may not be much, but her maternal family was very reasonable. Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have taken a liking to Li Shi because of this and made her the wife of the Lu family.
Shu Yu nodded. "They can go, but as I said earlier, it's the busy farming season now, so they might not be able to come."
Li Shi waved her hand. "They will definitely be able to come."
