Chapter 49 No Evidence Required

Fortunately, at least this matter is over. Shouldn’t the Gu family be more peaceful now?

They didn't sleep most of the night before, so Zhao Liya and the others didn't go to Zaihu Village today. They took a nap at home after lunch.

Zhao Liya planned to go again in two days, by which time the workshop plan would be finalized.

Once confirmed, construction will begin and be completed before the autumn harvest.

Unexpectedly, something happened that made people angry and amused.

Widow Qu's vegetable garden was destroyed.

The ground was in a mess.

You don't need to ask to know that this must have been done by Hulu and the others.

He failed to marry Qu Yutao, and the Gu family's efforts to help him failed. He felt aggrieved, but he couldn't do anything to Qu Guadagnus and her daughter, and he didn't dare to find fault with the Zhao family. So he took his anger out on Qu Guadagnus' vegetable garden?

I don't know whether to say they are sensible or stupid. They only vent their anger in Qu Guafu's vegetable garden and dare not touch the Zhao family's vegetable garden.

Widow Qu was heartbroken and cursed as she and Qu Yutao, Deng, and Aunt Li Shiyi replanted the vegetables that could be picked up. They had to take the scattered vegetable leaves, beans, cucumbers, etc. back home, picking out the good ones to cook and feeding the bad ones to the chickens.

"These people are so lawless! So disgusting!"

Aunt Li Shiyi clicked her tongue and shook her head, feeling that she had really broadened her horizons. Although there were some people with bad character in their Zaihu Village, they did not dare to do evil in the village, otherwise the ancestral hall and clan would not let them off easily.

I didn't expect that in Yan Village, which is not far away, there would be such a lack of rules and lawlessness.

Qu Yutao's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Thank goodness I have my aunt and cousin here, otherwise it wouldn't just be our vegetable garden that would be destroyed."

Aunt Li Shiyi and Mrs. Deng didn't know what to say and could only comfort her softly.

Zhao Liya naturally wouldn't stand for this.

He brought Hu Ling and Qu Guafu to the door and beat up Hulu and the other two. Qu Guafu was so angry that she scratched Hulu's face.

The bloodstains on Hulu's face from the bamboo broom hadn't healed yet, and now there were countless nail marks, bloodstains all over his face, it was so miserable. He howled in anger and pain.

It’s okay to just yell, but if you dare to curse, you will be beaten even harder.

Naturally, they insisted that the Zhao family had wronged them, and that they had nothing to do with what happened to Widow Qu's vegetable garden! Why would the Zhao family come after them? Do they have any evidence?

Evidence? Sorry, I said you are you, this is the evidence!

Zhao Liya almost wanted to laugh. People like you have the nerve to talk about evidence with others? Haha!

The three men were beaten to death, and after receiving a high-energy warning, Zhao Liya and the others left.

The villagers watched the fun from a distance, and they were all very pleased and applauded.

In the past, no one dared to provoke them, but they endured many setbacks. Finally, they hit the wall, right? This is what we call karma.

The three people from Hulu felt very frustrated.

In the past, his rogue words and actions such as "Do you have evidence? If not, get out!", "Is this chicken yours? Will it respond when you call it?", "This egg was laid by your chicken just because you said it was laid by your chicken? What evidence do you have?" etc. were always successful, but he didn't expect to be directly defeated this time.

The three of them got up from the ground, grumbling and cursing the Zhao family for bullying and wrongly accusing a good person, and then ran to the Gu family to complain.

As a result, I was kicked out as soon as I entered.

These idiots!

Boss Gu wants to kick them to death!

How do they deal with such a thing?

You can't even do this little thing, you deserve it

Zaihu Village.

The sugar-making workshop started operating smoothly soon. Zhao Liya, Qu Yutao and Hu Ling would go there every day to supervise the work on site and chat with the villagers. They were willing to maintain the relationship, and it became closer.

The first batch of sugarcane seeds planted have also grown leaves. The rows of green tender leaves are full of vitality and energy, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Everyone in Zaihu Village has naturally eaten sugarcane. Every winter, a lot of sugarcane produced in Suixi County is transported to Gaolian County for sale. It costs one cent per pound, which is neither cheap nor expensive. During the Chinese New Year, everyone will still buy a few pieces to try.

But it was the first time to see sugarcane seedlings, and they were so rare that almost everyone in the village, whether passing by or not, went to take a look, and smiled and gave comments and discussed them.

These sugarcane seedlings must grow well. When they grow up, they will have work to do and can earn money!

In the past period of time, every household has made a lot of money, and even the peddler has come to the village twice more.

The sugar-making workshop had just been in operation for a few days when Yu Gongcao sent another task and called seven or eight women from Yan Village to temporarily go to the garrison camp to cook for a few days.

Some time ago, Lieutenant General Zhong secretly assembled his forces and set up an ambush in the Guangzhan Sea, completely wiping out a large group of pirates. Some of the bandits that slipped through the net escaped, and one group escaped into Gaolian territory, where Lieutenant General Zhong personally led his men in pursuit and completely eliminated them.

The pirates were ferocious, and their resistance was even more frantic after their lair was destroyed and they had no way to retreat. Although Admiral Zhong killed them all, he also paid a heavy price.

Now he and his group of more than 500 men were exhausted, and there were many wounded, so they temporarily settled in an empty farm outside Gaolian County that had been confiscated but not yet dealt with. They ordered Gaolian County Magistrate Yin to find a few people to cook.

Magistrate Yin had just enough servants of his own, so he naturally wouldn't send anyone over. The criminals from Yan Village were of course the most useful, and there was no need to pay for them, so he asked Yu Gongcao to find someone.

In this way, all we need to do is send a skilled cook from home to cook specifically for General Zhong.

As a newcomer to the Zhao family, Zhao Liya couldn't hide away, so she had to go.

If she doesn't go, she can't let her mother Deng go. How could Deng know any of this?

Since Zhao Liya wanted to go, Qu Yutao insisted on going with her, so she went too.

Fortunately, everything at home is proceeding normally as planned. They will be back in a few days, so there is no need to explain anything specifically.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether the Gu family will cause trouble.

Zhao Liya thought about it, and then went with Hu Ling to find Yu Xiaofang, asking him to help look after the child.

Asking him for help is equivalent to asking Lin Mo for help.

Lin Mo is so awesome that even the Gu family is afraid of him.

Yu Xiaofang agreed readily.

Yu Gongcao also called a few wives from the village, making a total of eight people.

"Your job is to cook properly. Be careful and be quick and efficient. Also, don't go where you shouldn't go, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. This is a temporary military camp. If you anger the officers, even if I beat you to death, it would be a waste of your lives. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and said yes.

Yu Gongcao glanced at them and said, "Well, you guys elect a leader, and I'll give you some instructions."
