"Wow... This county magistrate is really good at picking dates. He's dead on New Year's Day!"

"Eh...did you hear? He looked like he was frightened to death. His eyes were wide open when he was carried out!"

"Oh... I think he's unlucky. He was strong when he was the county lieutenant, but how come he's suddenly weak after just a few days as the county magistrate?"

"Huh? Do you think the position of county magistrate is unlucky? Is it cursed?"

"That's right, one is County Magistrate Zhou, and the other is County Magistrate Zhang!"

"Ahem...don't make up stories. Magistrate Zhang died of a stroke. The coroner has already found out!"

There was constant discussion, most of them sighing, but a few were gloating.

People in Xiangyang Village who were buying New Year's goods looked at each other in amazement.

"So sudden? How could he die?" The village chief was very surprised.

"That's right, it's only been a few days, it's unbelievable!" Da Jun also sighed.

Tang Youyou suddenly remembered the saying: Life is unpredictable, and the big intestine surrounds the small intestine.

"Ahem...it has nothing to do with us. He's not a very good official. Let's just take care of our own business!"

Da Jun scratched his head and said, "Sister, you're right. We've finally seen the light at last. The New Year will be the day after tomorrow!"

The village chief stroked his beard and warned, "The child in the lobby is still lying in bed. Let him live with our family!"

"Dad...you don't need to remind me, I've already told the hall."

A warm feeling passed through Tang Youyou's heart, and she suddenly thought of Li Songbai. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, how could I forget? Village Chief, I have something else to do. I'll go back first!"

Da Jun's eyes curved with laughter. "Why are you always so impulsive, sister?"

The village chief glared at him and asked, "Have you bought all the New Year's goods?"

The army: "..."

Tang Youyou brought Bai Ruoyi to Li's residence.

Li pursed her lips, "Ah... the busy man finally has some free time?"

"Hey... Look at what you said, sister. Look what I brought you."

Li gave her a reproachful look, then looked at the vegetables in the two baskets with her mouth curved with a smile.

"Oh, don't say that, I haven't eaten this mushroom for a long time! Come on, you guys eat here today!"

Tang Youyou quickly shook her head, "Sister, no need, I still have to go buy New Year's goods. Let's sell this cooking skill. In the future, if you want to eat it, I'll send some over. You don't have to help me promote it!"

Li sighed and nodded. "I've heard what Bosong said. A tall tree attracts the wind. Sister, do you have any new plans?"

Tang Youyou pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's keep it a secret for now. We'll talk about it after the New Year. Sister, you have to help me!"

Li readily agreed, "Yes, yes, yes... I'm really looking forward to it!"

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and then Tang Youyou said goodbye, but when she left, a lot of things were stuffed into her hands.

"Mom, it seems like someone is following us!" Bai Ruo reminded in a low voice.

"Heh... you're just a clown. Don't try to exaggerate. Let's go shopping first!"

"Boss, this woman is really rich, with all these bags! She's also quite strong..."

"Go tell the brothers to guard the grove at the city gate! We must catch this fat sheep today!"

But after waiting for a long time, no one showed up, and the group of people trembled and complained.

"Is this news reliable? It's so cold, I don't want to catch a cold again!"

"A-choo... Ouch, I can't stand it anymore. Not only will I not get any benefits, but I still need to drink soup and medicine during the New Year!"

"Shut up! I'm so annoying. If you want to leave, leave now, but don't be jealous later!"

"Oh... Look at you, we were just complaining, we didn't say anything!"

"Shh...is that the woman?"

"Which one?"

"That yellow cow at the back, the one with its legs crossed and eating a steamed bun!"

"That's the guy. Look, the boss and the others are behind him!"

"Brothers, take a shortcut and stop them!"

Then, a group of men rushed to the side.

A group of people suddenly rushed out from the front. Bai Ruoyi was startled and quickly pulled the reins.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself? Who will be responsible if a cow's hoof steps on you?"

Everyone looked at each other with sarcasm in their eyes. But when they saw the things filling up the ox cart, they became very excited and their eyes were full of greed.

"Wow...that's a lot of stuff!"

"I think I smell meat!"

"Look, there are still a lot of cloth!"

"Oh, that's the Qingfangzhai pastry basket? Tsk tsk... you peasants are worthy of eating such precious pastries!"

Tang Youyou's mouth twitched, and he hooked his finger, "Do you want some cakes?"

The man nodded subconsciously.

Tang Youyou laughed loudly twice, "Haha...sure, but there's a condition!"

"You still dare to negotiate with me? If you know what's good for you, just give me everything!"

"Heh... If you want to eat this cake, kneel down and kowtow to me and call me aunt! Otherwise, forget it..."

The man cursed angrily: "You bitch, I think you are tired of living!"

At this time, a commoner passed by and said tremblingly: "It's better to lose money to avoid disaster, but your life is more important!" After that, he ran away.

Tang Youyou stuffed a few bites of the steamed bun into her mouth and looked behind her, "Son, choose for yourself, the back or the front?"

Bai Ruoyi took out a slingshot from his sleeve and said, "Mom, there are a lot of people up ahead, so it's easier to use a slingshot!"

After he finished speaking, with a "whoosh" sound, the stone hit the man's mouth squarely.

"Ah... my front teeth!"

"Brothers, come on!"

A group of people rushed forward.

Tang Youyou hooked her finger, "Come on, I haven't used my fists and feet for many days. Today, you are really unlucky!"

"Boss, this woman looks a little weird, don't go over there yet!" someone advised.

"She's just a peasant woman. What's there to be afraid of? When will you change your cowardly nature?"

Man: Didn't you praise yourself for being cautious before? Why are you acting like a coward again today?

He wanted to dissuade them again, but found that there was no one around him. He just looked around when someone rushed to the ox cart.

Tang Youyou looked so excited that she took a few steps back.

"Heh...are you scared now? Want to run away?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Youyou suddenly ran forward and kicked him with a big foot. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were wide open, full of disbelief and anger.

"Bang!" He flew backwards three meters.

"Boss, boss, are you okay?"

"Cough cough... call the police, quickly... call the police..." He felt that he had suffered serious internal injuries and his chest was in great pain.

Man: Isn't reporting it to the police like walking into a trap? Did they kick you silly?

Seeing Tang Youyou coming over, he hurriedly shouted: "Run... I'm dying, run..."

After saying that, he ran away without a trace of nostalgia.

The man on the ground pointed at him angrily, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Everyone instinctively wanted to run away, but Tang Youyou turned around and shouted angrily.

"stop!"

No one listened to her and they all ran away, scrambling and rolling.

"I say again, stop, or I'll make you lose your arms and legs."
