Chapter 201: Get off the Slope
"We pirates aren't as unreasonable as you."
The people of Dongwang Village were first frightened by the sudden appearance of the pirate in front of them. After looking over, they found that not only was Zhao Laosan following behind him, but there were also four young and strong men following behind this man.
Damn, aren’t these pirates invading the village?
After the man finished speaking, an empty space quickly formed around him.
Zhao Laosan's wife's face turned pale. She never expected that the person she was talking about would hear her bad words.
Why is her luck so bad!
Although she sometimes did say in front of the villagers of Dongwang Village that the leader of the water bandits was her son-in-law, when this man really appeared in front of her, she could only tremble with fear.
“I, I…”
Zhao Laosan's wife kept mumbling for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Hey, who beat my brother-in-law like this?"
Zhou Yunshu noticed the man in front of her as soon as he arrived. He was about 1.8 meters tall. Although not strong, he had a healthy body and looked like he knew some leg skills.
And he should not be a person with a violent temper, otherwise he would not have watched the excitement in the crowd with relish for a long time, and only stood up when his mother-in-law publicly broke off relations with him.
These pirates were all holding knives. The villagers were very scared, but the Zhou family members were not afraid.
"But no one beat him. He was the one who stole things from our house and fell like this. If we didn't have a doctor at home, he would have lost his life long ago!" Aunt Liao said to the pirate, relying on the presence of Zhan Chuan and others.
The pirate leader was attracted to Zhan Chuan when he first arrived. There was nothing he could do about it, because Zhan Chuan was born with the advantage of height. Coupled with his fierce eyes and disfigured face, he looked more like a pirate than a real pirate like him.
Especially when they looked at each other, the bandit leader knew that this man must have seen blood.
And such a person is actually willing to hide behind a pale-faced scholar.
Although Zhao Laosan had just heard Zhou Yunshu talk about reporting to the police, now that his own bandit leader's son-in-law had arrived, he didn't believe that Zhou Yunshu, a newly arrived outsider, would dare to go against the local tyrant.
So he stood up straight, stood beside the pirate leader and said, "Son-in-law, those wealthy outsiders I was talking about are them!"
He pointed at the house in the backyard of Zhou Yunshu and the others, as well as the mountains in the distance, and said to the bandit leader, "This house, the small green hill behind it, and the two rows of small courtyards next to it are all theirs!"
"Since I can afford so many things, I can definitely give out seven or eight hundred taels of silver to my brothers in the village!" Zhao Laosan asked for much more than his wife did.
He also thought that if this cheap son-in-law could really get so much silver from this outsider, as his father-in-law, he would have to give himself at least two or three hundred taels of silver!
With these two or three hundred taels of silver, he would buy a house and move to the city, and then take a concubine. Wouldn't his life be wonderful!
While Zhao Laosan was chattering beside the water bandit leader, the water bandit leader was also looking at the family opposite.
He has been on the water for so many years, and he was able to survive the former boss and the second in command and become the bandit leader. He must have some foresight and intuition.
But his eyes and intuition told him that he could not afford to offend the family in front of him.
He couldn't afford to offend him, but it would be too embarrassing to just leave like that. If word got out, people who didn't know would think that Peng Tianhe was a wimp. How would he gain a foothold among his brothers in the future?
"I'm not an unreasonable person."
When Peng Tianhe said this, many people around him showed contempt in their eyes. It was ridiculous that a pirate said he was a reasonable person.
"You guys made my brother-in-law look like this. Give me two hundred taels of silver as a token of appreciation and I'll let this go."
Peng Tianhe had an expression as if he was giving you a big honor, and the number he said was indeed surprising.
After all, there is a big difference between the seven or eight hundred taels that Zhao Laosan had and the two hundred taels he mentioned.
Looking at it this way, it does seem to make sense.
Zhou Yunshu didn't feel like she was being blessed. She smiled at Peng Tianhe and said, "What if not?"
Peng Tianhe's face darkened. No matter how this man gave him a way out, he wouldn't give in. Two hundred taels of silver wasn't a lot for them!
"I advise you not to refuse a toast and then drink the forfeit!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Peng Tianhe who was deliberately speaking harshly and suddenly said, "Why don't we talk in the yard?"
When Zhou Yunshu said this, Peng Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Zhou Yunshu would keep arguing with him, and he didn't bring many people with him this time. If a fight really broke out, he might not be a match for Zhou Yunshu and her group.
Since she took the initiative to take a step back, Peng Tianhe immediately said, "I think it's okay!"
Peng Tianhe took a step forward and was grabbed by Zhao Laosan. "Son-in-law, there are so many people in their family. We might get in alive but not come out alive!"
"Listen to me, we won't go in, let's talk here!"
Peng Tianhe only came to his senses when Zhao Laosan grabbed him. What he said was right. He had so few people with him that if this pretty boy really arrested and beat him to death, he would be helpless.
But thinking this way is one thing, and Zhao Laosan shouting it out loud is another.
After he said that, if I didn't go in, wouldn't I be telling others that I was a wimp?
Now I have to go in whether I want to or not, otherwise the reputation I have made in the past two years will become a joke.
Peng Tianhe pulled Zhao Laosan's hand off his arm, stretched his neck and said to Zhou Yunshu: "Humph, they dare!"
This pretty boy looks like a wimp. If the strong men next to him dare to make a move, he will grab this pretty boy and threaten them!
This pretty boy seemed to be the head of the family. He didn't believe that this strong man would fight with them without caring about the pretty boy's life!
Thinking of this, Peng Tianhe took his four men and headed towards Zhou Yunshu's home in a grand manner.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Peng Tianhe and said to Wang Shuitian, "Village Chief, everything is fine."
"Those who haven't registered yet can continue to register, and those who have registered can go home."
But after such an incident, who in the village would dare to continue to sign up? Even the villagers who had signed up before now want to ask the Zhou family to return their salary.
They really didn't want to be misunderstood as being in cahoots with the bandits, but at the same time, if Zhou Yunshu became an enemy of those ferocious bandits, then if they let their own children study at the Zhou family, wouldn't that be a clear sign of going against the bandits!
They didn't want to go against the pirates, they just wanted to live their own lives in peace.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Yunshu brought Zhan Chuan home, those who had already paid their tuition fees went to Wu Gui to ask for a refund.
Studying is not as important as life, so I'd better not read this book for now.
