Hearing Manager Tong's words, Han Yiyi finally came to her senses and hurriedly put the stun gun in her hand back into her sleeve. However, she couldn't understand why Manager Tong was here and had brought so many yamen runners with him, so she asked directly.
"What, what's going on? Manager Tong, how did you know I would be in danger...?"
Seeing Han Yi speak, Manager Tong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that if he had really scared someone into something bad, he would have lost his God of Wealth. He quickly replied.
"It was Laifu who said it seemed like someone was following you, so I rushed to the yamen..."
It turned out that Laifu had bought some food to thank Han Yiyi, his mentor, for teaching him how to barbecue. However, when he took the barbecue seasoning into the kitchen and came out, Han Yiyi had already gone far away.
However, they saw that the few people in the town who usually liked to steal chickens and dogs were secretly following behind Han Yiyi, so they hurriedly told Manager Tong.
Upon hearing this, Manager Tong was alarmed; someone was actually trying to rob his God of Wealth. So he hurried to the yamen (government office).
"Thank you so much, Manager Tong..."
"What are you saying? It was my oversight. I shouldn't have made you run back and forth every time. How about this, you tell me your home address, and I'll send someone to pick it up when the time comes. That way, you won't have to run back and forth..."
Hearing what Manager Tong said, Han Yi thought about it for a moment and felt it was feasible. This would save her a lot of trouble, so she nodded.
Seeing Han Yiyi nod, Manager Tong was a little puzzled. For so long, he had never seen Han Yiyi's husband. Every time, Han Yiyi came and went alone, sometimes even with two children.
In this era, it was already extremely rare for women to show their faces in public, and it was even rarer to see someone like Han Yiyi, who sometimes brought two children with her. Moreover, the amount of money she handled each time was not small, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Han Niangzi's husband is no longer here..." Upon hearing this, Manager Tong was stunned for a moment, realizing he had said something wrong, and quickly tried to correct himself.
"Well, Madam Han, I, I didn't mean that. I just felt that it was always you alone, so..."
“I was divorced and now I’m raising two children alone, which is why I always travel alone…”
Han Yiyi didn't feel there was anything to hide about her own affairs, so she told him before Manager Tong could finish speaking.
But before Han Yiyi could finish speaking, Manager Tong blurted out, "Why...?"
In Manager Tong's opinion, if a farming family had such a good wife who could make money, they should really cherish her. How could they divorce her?
However, after asking the question, Manager Tong realized he had said something wrong, so he quickly apologized.
"I apologize, Madam Han, it was my fault for being so talkative."
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not a secret in our village. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but he thought I was useless and unworthy of his status, so he divorced me and married a woman from the town…”
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Manager Tong's mouth remained open for a while. He was a little confused. If even his God of Wealth was useless, then what kind of person would be considered useful? So he quickly tried to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Madam Han. With your intelligence and talent, you will surely find an even better husband in the future."
Han Yiyi just smiled at what Manager Tong said. She had no intention of finding a husband in this godforsaken place. She didn't want a monogamous marriage in her previous life, let alone the fact that men were allowed to have multiple wives and concubines here.
Having your own money means you can eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, and have two adorable dolls to keep you company—isn't that great?
As the two were still talking, they saw that the people who had been running away were now being tied up and thrown to the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Qian'an, who was hiding in the shadows, had a look of fear in his eyes. He quickly turned around and left because he knew that these people would never betray him.
As expected, these people simply said that they saw Han Yiyi driving a mule cart alone and wanted to rob her for some money. After all, they knew which was more serious, robbery or murder.
Hearing their words, Han Yi frowned, worried that if they couldn't convict her, or were only detained for a few days, they would cause her trouble again after being released.
Seeing that Han Yiyi's expression was not good, the head constable seemed to know what Han Yiyi was thinking, so he spoke up.
"Madam, don't worry. These people usually do petty theft. In the past, we couldn't do anything to them because we didn't have any evidence. But now we've caught them red-handed. I think they'll never have a chance to get out of jail in this lifetime," he said, nodding to Manager Tong.
Han Yiyi felt relieved upon hearing this, but the men on the ground immediately started cursing when they heard the constable's words.
"Let me go! Let me go right now! I just committed a robbery, and you want to lock me up in jail? Is there no justice in this world? You're colluding with government officials..."
Before he could even utter the word "jie," he was slapped twice across the face, and then his mouth was gagged, leaving him only able to make muffled sounds.
Looking at the person on the ground, Han Yiyi suddenly wanted to try out her stun gun. She had spent 5,000 points to redeem it, so she had to test its effectiveness.
So, while the constables were carrying these bad guys onto the horse, Han Yiyi walked up to the lewd man who had tried to touch her face earlier, quickly reached out and touched the man's arm. Because Han Yiyi had switched to a silent mode, there was no crackling sound.
As soon as Han Yiyi touched the man, the man, who had been moaning and groaning, suddenly twitched a few times and fell silent.
Han Yi was startled when he saw this, thinking that he had electrocuted the person to death. But when he saw the person's chest rising and falling slightly, he realized that the person had only been knocked unconscious. He thought to himself that it seemed that his five thousand points were well spent.
The constables noticed that the man, who had been angrily shouting and cursing, had suddenly fallen silent. They assumed he had resigned himself to his fate, so they ignored him and simply carried him to his horse.
Fearing that Han Yiyi might encounter further danger, the leading constable had two others escort her to the entrance of Zhushan Village. They watched as Han Yiyi entered the village before leaving…
Han Yi had intended to come back earlier, but this matter delayed her. By the time she got home, it was already past noon. Seeing that the two little ones were not there, Han Yi went directly to Aunt Zhang's house.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw two little ones each holding a bright yellow egg pancake, eating them happily. When they saw Han Yiyi come in, they quickly ran to greet her.
"Mom, you're back! Grandma Zhang made us egg pancakes that smell so good, you should try some..." she said, raising the pancake in her hand to stuff it into Han Yiyi's mouth.
