Seeing that the oxcart had pulled to the side, Han Yiyi stopped and tugged on the reins, and the mule cart started moving.
After Han Yiyi's mule cart passed, Ye Qian'an turned around and saw Ye Cuihua's ugly face. Ye Cuihua nodded slightly to him, and then he turned around sharply to look in the direction Han Yiyi had left, a fierce glint in his eyes.
It turned out that Ye Cuihua had already told him about the person she saw at the clothing shop who resembled Han Yiyi. That's why he accompanied Ye Cuihua back, worried that their affair would be exposed. If that person really was Han Yiyi, just a woman, he would have a way to shut her up.
Fan Ting didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two, because his gaze was still fixed on the direction Han Yiyi had left in, his brows furrowed, and the emotion in his eyes was inscrutable, as if he was thinking about something.
Ye Qian'an noticed Fan Ting's gaze and couldn't help but look back at the direction Han Yiyi had left in. His eyes were even more ruthless. Then he turned back to give Ye Cuihua a reassuring look and said.
"Cui'er, you are pregnant now, so don't worry about anything else. Just focus on having a healthy pregnancy."
Upon hearing Ye Qian'an's words, Fan Ting finally came to his senses, thinking that Ye Qian'an was worried that Ye Cuihua's disagreement with his mother would affect the baby in her womb, so he quickly spoke up.
"Don't worry, cousin. I will take good care of Cuihua and the baby in her belly and I won't let her suffer any grievances."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved..." he said, turning the oxcart around and leaving, but before leaving, he gave Ye Cuihua a reassuring look.
When Han Yiyi returned home, she thought of Ye Cuihua's pale face when she saw her, and realized that Ye Cuihua must already know that she had found out about the affair between Ye Cuihua and her cousin.
Han Yiyi had no intention of telling Fan the scumbag. On the contrary, she hoped that Fan the scumbag would be kept in the dark for as long as possible. Ideally, he would find out that the child was not his after it was born. Hehe, that would be great.
Han Yi knew that this was what she was thinking, but Ye Cuihua and her shady cousin might be at risk if they wanted to keep their affair from being discovered, so she was extra careful and searched the system to see if there were any weapons she could use for self-defense.
Before they had even finished searching, they heard Aunt Zhang and the village chief's wife's voices outside.
Knowing they were there to exchange mushrooms, she quickly got up to greet them. After exchanging the mushrooms, Aunt Zhang brought up the matter of having Da Niu help Han Yiyi weave furniture.
After all, the house was almost finished, and unlike the one in my previous life, I was worried about formaldehyde after the renovation and couldn't move in immediately. Furthermore, seeing that the number of mushrooms they were picking was decreasing, I knew that the two families had probably picked up most of the mushrooms in the neighborhood.
Now that he can come over and start weaving furniture, there's no need to worry about interfering with his mushroom picking, so he said.
“Okay, I have to go to town early tomorrow morning. Auntie, you can have him go to the back mountain to cut bamboo first. You don’t need to bother hauling the bamboo to your house. Just bring it here. It’s closer, so there won’t be any more moving around when the food is ready…”
Aunt Zhang naturally agreed, and after the others left, she began searching for weapons for self-defense.
The next day, in order to return as soon as possible, he got up early and went to town. He had prepared two large ceramic jars of barbecue seasoning the night before. Because he was worried that Ye Cuihua's dark-skinned cousin would come and cause trouble for him, he did not take the two little ones with him.
With Zhuzi helping to look after them, and Da Niu occasionally bringing bamboo, there's not much to worry about regarding the safety of the two little ones.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant entrance, Laifu rushed over, calling him "Master" repeatedly. Han Yiyi didn't stand on ceremony and told him to carry the barbecue seasoning from the mule cart into the restaurant himself. She simply greeted Manager Tong and then left.
Watching the person leave quickly, Manager Tong swallowed back the words he was about to say. Originally, he wanted to invite Han Yiyi to dinner, thinking of building a better relationship with this "God of Wealth," but who knew the person would leave so quickly? It seems he'll have to wait until next time.
Han Yi left the restaurant, worried that she might really run into trouble, so she didn't linger and drove the mule cart back home. Little did she know that she had been targeted as soon as she stepped out of the restaurant.
It turned out to be Ye Qian'an. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he had gathered a few of his brothers who were usually only good at petty theft early this morning, intending to treat them to a barbecue and then discuss how to resolve Han Yiyi's situation.
But just as this person arrived at Yunlai Restaurant, before he had even had a chance to eat the barbecue, he saw Han Yiyi also appear at Yunlai Restaurant. When he saw Han Yiyi greeting Manager Tong, he frowned slightly, but seeing that the two were not very familiar with each other, he didn't take it to heart.
As soon as Han Yiyi left the town, she had a bad feeling and quickly took out the stun gun she had exchanged yesterday from her spatial storage.
That's right, the weapon Han Yiyi redeemed was an electric baton, which cost her five thousand points. It's said to be able to electrocute a cow in one go.
Just as Han Yiyi held the stun gun in her hand, she saw several shifty-looking men surround her. The leader looked at Han Yiyi with a lewd expression and said something.
“Young lady, you’re all alone. Look at your thin arms and legs, you probably can’t even drive this mule cart steadily. Why don’t you let your brother help you…”
Han Yiyi turned her head and looked around, but did not find Ye Cuihua's dark-skinned cousin. He must be hiding in the shadows. Han Yiyi's eyes turned cold and she tightened her grip on the stun gun. Since the stun gun was only the size of a palm, no one noticed Han Yiyi's abnormality.
Seeing that Han Yiyi ignored him, the lewd man actually raised his hand to touch Han Yiyi's face. After this period of care, Han Yiyi's face was not exactly perfect, but it was much fairer and smoother than before. Therefore, although Ye Qian'an had told the men to just take care of Han Yiyi, the lewd man had other ideas when he saw Han Yiyi...
As the hand drew ever closer, Han Yiyi felt her heart leap into her throat. Just as she was about to shove the stun gun into the hand, she heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves behind her, followed by Manager Tong's anxious voice.
"Lady Han, Lady Han, Lady Han, we've come to save you..."
Before Han Yiyi could react, she saw the people who had been surrounding her just moments before suddenly scattering away.
Only then did Han Yiyi realize that the people riding on horseback were actually a group of yamen runners dressed in official robes.
Seeing that Han Yiyi was still somewhat dazed, Manager Tong assumed she was frightened and quickly offered words of comfort.
"Madam Han, don't worry. With these constables here, none of them will be able to escape..."
