Chapter 276 Give Me the Money
The man squeezed through the crowd, frowning as he shouted, "Make way, make way!"
Shu Yu turned her head when she heard the sound, then dropped the bamboo pole in her hand without saying a word and faced him with an innocent look.
Seeing this, the servants thought they had a chance and rushed over quickly.
To everyone's surprise, Shu Yu took a few steps back and immediately hid behind the man, crying out, "Officer, they're trying to harm me! Help!"
Several servants were about to bump into him when they suddenly stopped upon hearing Shu Yu's words.
Lord official? ? ?
They stopped abruptly, but it was too late; the fist of the person in front came straight at Huli's face.
Hu Li's eyes widened. "How dare you attack an official?"
He grabbed the man's hand and pulled him forward sharply, causing the servant to fall to the ground with a thud.
Huli looked down at him condescendingly, then turned to the others, "You guys want to cause trouble, don't you?"
The three young masters, who had been so arrogant, looked flustered. One of them whispered, "How did we attract the officials? If we make a big fuss, we won't have any freedom in Jiangyuan County anymore. My father won't let me go out next time."
"what to do?"
"Make a big deal out of a small deal, and a small deal out of a big deal, and just let it go."
"Are we just going to let it go like this, that we pushed us into the water? Shouldn't we teach that bitch a lesson? I'm not satisfied."
"Or would you like to go to the government office?"
"Alright, I was just kidding. We can settle the score later."
After the three finished whispering, Hu Li walked up to them and stared at them, asking, "Which family's young masters are you? I heard you wanted to kill someone, right? Pushing someone into the water and not letting them come up, huh? You've got some nerve, daring to take a life right under my nose."
"Sir, this is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding? You almost killed someone and you call that a misunderstanding?" Hu Li glared at him and asked menacingly.
The three young men quickly apologized with smiles, "We were just joking. That older brother said he was a good swimmer and wanted to show us, but we didn't believe him, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lu Sanzhu, who had already changed his clothes, coming over.
With the parties involved present, they continued speaking, seemingly in a somewhat awkward manner.
But it's alright, the three quickly added, "Don't worry, officer, it's a deal. He'll give us a performance, and we'll pay him for his hard work."
Hard-earned money?
Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. Was it what he understood? Did it mean he should be given money?
He turned to look at Shu Yu, as if wanting him to agree quickly.
Shu Yu, “…What about your dignity?”
Oh, I'm sorry, I know you never have.
However, seeing Lu Sanzhu's reaction, the three young masters were relieved. They knew these guys were just country bumpkins who could be easily dealt with as long as they were paid.
Shu Yu remained silent, but Hu Li, following their lead, turned around and asked her, "Really? Is that how it is?"
As she spoke, she winked at Shu Yu, signaling her to stop while she was ahead. After all, Shu Yu had dragged them all into this mess, and if things were to get serious, the other party would already be punished, leaving Shu Yu with a difficult situation to back down from.
Shu Yu understood, so she looked at Lu Sanzhu with annoyance, "Is it what they said?"
"...Is that so?" Lu Sanzhu asked uncertainly.
Shu Yu's lips twitched, and when she turned around again, she suddenly laughed, "Then how is the wage calculated?"
