Ye Lianmei felt that she absolutely could not let things develop on their own, and she should do something.
I don't want to be known as a bully.
"Okay, Miss, I was wrong." The maid who had been aggressive just now now whispered softly to Ye Lianmei to admit her mistake.
Then, he raised his hand and slapped himself a few times perfunctorily.
Then Ye Lianmei changed into new clothes, took small steps, and was helped by the maid into the "Kelai Restaurant".
"Thank you, beautiful sister, for helping us." The girl on the ground saw Yu Qingqing, got up and thanked her politely.
Yu Qingqing stopped crying, she knew when to stop.
"Qing'er, were you really crying just now? You scared your dad."
Yu Qingshu came over pulling an ox cart with a few hot buns in his hand. These were bought with the money Yu Qingqing had given him earlier.
"Eat it quickly! Eat it while it's hot. We need to hurry back to get some food. I just bought 50 kilograms of salt at the grocery store, and I also bought some vegetable seeds. I think they'll be useful later."
"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." Yu Qingqing took the bun and started eating.
"You guys should go back quickly. Be careful when walking next time and don't bump into people anymore."
After Yu Qingqing finished her instructions, she followed Yu Qingshu back.
The grandparents and grandchildren also got up from the ground and walked towards another place.
"Qing'er, next time you encounter something like this, you should first consider your own safety.
Although the mayor's daughter didn't care too much today, Daddy heard that she was usually spoiled by the mayor's wife.
Daddy is also afraid that you will really be targeted by her and get into trouble."
Yu Qingshu still felt that he should give a reminder to prevent his daughter from being accidentally injured next time.
"Dad, don't worry, I will be careful. We will turn another corner and we will reach Liu San's blacksmith shop."
Yu Qingqing drove the ox cart and slowly stopped after turning a corner.
"Brother Yu, this knife is exactly what you want. It can be used for self-defense.
You can just pin it to your waist."
When Liu San saw Yu Qingqing and the others coming, he took out his knife and handed it over.
"It looks good, is quite sharp, and has acceptable hardness. Thank you, Master Liu."
Yu Qingshu tried the knife and found it to be quite good. He placed the scimitar and sickle together on the ox cart.
"Let's go!" Yu Qingqing patted the ox's back, and the ox cart started back on the way it came.
Yu Qingqing and Yu Qingshu looked around in other places in the town.
It seems that there are fewer and fewer people in the town now. It seems that most people have left.
"Qing'er, almost everyone in this town has left. It seems that everyone knows that life here is difficult. If we follow the village chief, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Yu Qingshu sat on the ox cart, looking at the desolation of the town, and felt sad.
"Dad, I think safety on the road is the most important thing. When the time comes, give me the knife for safekeeping.
How can I take it out when I need it? Just keep a sickle so that it won't be so eye-catching."
Yu Qingqing rubbed her wrist, turned around and looked at Yu Qingshu and said.
Yu Qingqing and her friends went shopping somewhere else, bought some things, and then hurried back home.
One quarter past noon, in a small wood on the outskirts of town.
In a small forest not far from Shuihe Village, thick layers of fallen leaves piled up on the ground.
The leaves are golden yellow and look very beautiful, and there are many small trees that look like thorn bushes.
If you look more closely, you can see a man and a woman lying on the thick fallen leaves on one side of the woods.
"My dear, come and let me kiss you. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's really not easy to see you.
"When I pass the imperial examination, I will marry you home in style and make you my wife." A smooth-talking male voice sounded.
As the man spoke, he began to touch the woman randomly.
"Sir, are you serious? Don't lie to me. You are not allowed to look for other women when I'm not around.
If I find out, you will suffer the consequences."
The person who was speaking was none other than Yu Qingqing's next-door neighbor "Yu Ling'er", who usually behaved like a spoiled young lady at home and was always thinking about climbing up the social ladder.
"Don't worry, you are my sweetheart, I will not let you down." The man said these words against his will in his heart, just to coax the girl first and then talk about the future later.
The man who spoke was the second son of the Shuihe village chief, He Qiuyi.
Moreover, he is already engaged to the daughter of Li the butcher in the village.
He Qiuyi once met Yu Ling'er in the village, who knew that he was the only Tongsheng in the village.
So they intentionally approached each other. After a few interactions, they fell in love with each other, and in order to avoid being discovered, they came to the grove for a secret meeting.
"That's more like it, but I'm risking my daughter's reputation.
I came to meet you in private, you can't let me down."
Yu Ling'er leaned in He Qiuyi's arms, her voice soft and gentle.
"My beauty, don't worry. You are so beautiful, how could I bear to hurt you. When I pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, you will be the glorious wife of a scholar."
He Qiuyi continued his deception.
The two of them were playing enthusiastically here, and on the other side, Yu Qingqing and the others were also walking towards this side.
"Hey, Dad, look, aren't there two people in there? A man and a woman hugging each other in broad daylight, they must be up to something bad.
But this is the road we have to take, so should we go ahead or not?"
As luck would have it, Yu Qingqing happened to see this scene. And it was on her way home, so it was hard not to see it.
"Qing'er, that man seems to be the village chief's son, and the woman seems to be Yu Ling'er from our next door." Yu Qingshu recognized them at a glance.
"Ah! Someone is peeping." At this time, Yu Ling'er also discovered Yu Qingqing driving the ox cart.
"Go quickly and tell them to stop talking nonsense, otherwise your father will deal with them."
Yu Ling'er began to panic and talk nonsense, asking He Qiuyi to threaten Yu Qingqing and the others.
"Don't be afraid, my father is the village chief, I don't think they have the courage to say it."
He Qiuyi also felt that he couldn't expose himself, so he straightened his clothes and walked towards Yu Qingqing and the others.
"You didn't see anything today. Don't tell anyone when you return to the village, or my father won't forgive you." He Qiuyi bravely said to Qingqing fiercely.
"What's your attitude? I..." Yu Qingqing was about to speak when she was stopped by Yu Qingshu.
"Sir, don't worry. We'll leave now. We didn't see anything and didn't meet you."
Yu Qingshu tactfully drove the ox cart back home.
"Humph! They're quite sensible." Yu Ling'er was very proud at this moment, and didn't feel the shame of being caught at all.
"Dad, why did you pull me just now? I really can't stand Yu Ling'er's bullying behavior."
Yu Qingqing muttered to Yu Qingshu in distress.
