Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Cheating Them
Although Yu Li said this, the two yamen runners still looked hesitant and did not move.
Thinking of something, Yu Liqu tore off the cloth strips that tied up Ge Yayi.
Hearing the sound of tearing cloth, one can't help but shudder with fear.
In fact, men can also tear clothes into strips, but not as quickly and neatly as she does. It's as easy as tearing paper, as if it doesn't take any effort at all, and she can tear the clothes however she wants.
How much strength does it take?
They had all experienced her strength before, and it hurt a lot when she hit people.
After Ge's hands and feet were free again, he quickly fastened his belt to prevent his trousers from falling down.
He was afraid that his pants would fall off, exposing something that shouldn't be exposed, which would make some scary female star think of slaughtering a pig or something... As for his bare upper body, his clothes were torn into strips and he couldn't wear them anymore, so he had to remain naked for now.
Luckily, the weather is hot, so it’s okay to be shirtless.
Although Peng, the yamen runner, felt sympathetic towards his colleague, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw Manager Cui lying on the ground dying.
He really had no idea, so he suppressed his fear and asked, "If he wakes up...what should we do?"
Ge Yayi also looked at Yu Li expectantly, hoping that she could give him some advice.
Without waiting for Yu Li to speak, Yu Jin, who had been staying quietly by the side and not causing trouble for her sister, finally couldn't help it.
She took a step forward and said, "Why don't you just shut him up forever and not confess this?"
Yu Jin felt that these two yamen runners might really be stupid. Her sister had made it so clear that they could do whatever they wanted.
The two yamen runners looked at her at the same time, and it was unknown what they were thinking, with horrified expressions on their faces.
These two sisters are quite vicious, and they even tried to instigate them to kill people.
Now that this person is dead, he can really shut up completely and no one can give them away.
Yu Jin understood the expressions on their faces strangely and was so angry that he wanted to curse.
At this moment, she had no idea that they were yamen runners. She was very scared when she saw her sister beating them just now.
Her tone was a little bad: "There are so many ways to silence someone. You can think of them yourself. Anyway, as long as he can't speak and can't give you away, isn't that enough?" Thinking of something, she asked again, "Can he read?"
The two Ge yamen runners shook their heads.
Ever since Manager Cui became the manager of the dock through nepotism, they had been following him around to please him. They knew a lot about Manager Cui, but they also knew that he was an uneducated fool.
Before Aunt Cui entered the county magistrate's mansion, the Cui family was just an ordinary citizen and had no money to send their children to school.
Later, the Cui family took advantage of Aunt Cui's favor and exploited the people in the name of the county magistrate's Yue family, accumulating a large amount of money and changing their appearance.
Having suddenly become rich, the Cui family had no way of restraining themselves and acted very ostentatiously.
The Cui family didn't even pay attention to their children's education. After all, they were the county magistrate's in-laws, and they could live a good life without learning those things. Many people gave them money just to let Aunt Cui say a few good words for them in front of the county magistrate.
"That's fine, isn't it?" Yu Jin said, "He's injured so badly, I don't know if he can be cured. I'm afraid his mouth will be injured and he won't be able to speak clearly."
It’s best to just stay at home and not come out to harm others.
She felt sad when she thought of the porter with a bloody head at the dock.
Seeing that Li Fu was like seeing myself, or even an ordinary person like myself who had no power or influence.
What made her even more angry was that Manager Cui actually wanted to take her sister as a concubine. Whenever she thought of this, she felt that her sister was not wrong in breaking his legs.
Upon hearing this, the two yamen runners looked at Manager Cui lying on the ground.
Manager Cui had already passed out. He looked miserable, his face was swollen and his legs were broken...
This kind of injury looks serious. If the doctor says it cannot be cured, and I can only lie in bed and be unable to speak, is that normal, right?
At this time, Yu Jin said: "You are also accomplices in today's incident. If people knew that it was you who called Manager Cui over..."
She looked at them meaningfully.
The yamen runners Ge and Peng were shocked all over and looked at each other with fierce eyes.
If Manager Cui told others about what happened today, they would definitely be the ones who would be in trouble, and Manager Cui might even think that they were in cahoots with these two people.
They didn't want to be unlucky, nor did they want to lose their jobs as yamen runners, so they could only let Manager Cui lie down for the rest of his life, and it would be best if he couldn't speak.
When Yu Jin saw the fierce looks on the two men's faces, he knew they had heard it.
Her palms were a little wet, and she was actually very scared and a little weak, knowing that she was just bluffing. However, she still tried to stay calm and composed, successfully scaring the two yamen runners.
Yu Li didn't say anything and let Yu Jin talk. Seeing that she secretly clenched her hands into fists behind her back, he knew that she was actually quite scared.
Seeing that the two yamen runners were very sensible, she did nothing else and left with Yu Jin.
-
After turning a few alleys and getting away from that side, Yu Li patted his sister's tense shoulders and asked, "Are you scared?"
Yu Jin's stiff shoulders slumped slightly, and then he shook his head.
"I, I'm not afraid." She whispered, "If Big Sister doesn't take action, Big Sister will be captured by Manager Cui, and we don't know what will happen then. I would rather do this..."
Perhaps it was a foregone conclusion, so she wasn't so scared anymore.
There is no use in being afraid. It is better to think carefully about how to deal with the aftermath, whether there are any omissions, and how to deal with it in the future.
As she thought about it, she said, "Don't worry, big sister. Those two yamen runners will never dare to tell anyone, otherwise they will also be implicated."
After all, everyone saw at the dock that Manager Cui was called over by Officer Peng.
Manager Cui was beaten like this, and they were also accomplices.
Yu Jin thought about it, looked up at her sister, saw her fair face in the sun, and suddenly said, "Sister, you are still too thin now. You should eat more in the future."
Then she thought of her sister's appetite and was speechless.
Her sister seemed to have eaten enough.
Yu Li nodded, "I will."
As for losing weight, there was nothing she could do about it. The nutrients in the food she ate had to be supplied to her superpowers first, and not much could be distributed to her body, so she couldn't make herself fatter.
I can only continue to eat more in the future.
Yu Jin suddenly laughed.
It seemed that no matter how terrible the thing was, as long as she saw her sister's calm and composed appearance, she felt that it was nothing.
She smiled and said, "Big sister, you look so thin. Even if you have some strength, I'm afraid no one would believe that you can beat Manager Cui like this."
Her sister is just a thin girl, who would believe that she could hurt someone?
If the two Ge yamen runners let the cat out of the bag one day, people would probably be more willing to believe that they did it, unless Steward Cui personally pointed it out.
However, judging from the reactions of the two yamen runners, I’m afraid that Manager Cui will never be able to speak again.
Yu Li hummed lightly, not caring whether people believed it or not.
She thought that if the county magistrate wanted to send yamen runners to arrest her, the worst that could happen was that she would take the people from the Fu family and the second branch of the Yu family and hide in the mountains, or seek refuge somewhere else.
Once you settle down and sort out your identity issue, you can change your identity and continue living somewhere else.
In this world without high-tech networks, it is easy to create a fake identity.
Of course, it would be best not to be exposed. There is no need for everyone to run away together. It all depends on what those two yamen runners do.
Yu Li turned to his sister and said, "After this matter is resolved, you can come to the county town to sell rice balls."
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he would listen to his elder sister.
She didn't think that her elder sister had done anything wrong in how things turned out. As long as her elder sister did something, it was right. If Manager Cui hadn't dared to set his sights on her elder sister, would it have turned out like this?
Thinking of something, Yu Jin suddenly asked: "Sister, that, that..."
Yu Li looked at her in confusion, "Which one?"
Yu Jin's eyes drifted away and she whispered, "Are you really learning how to slaughter a pig?" As soon as the word "slaughter a pig" came out, her face turned red.
"I want to learn." Yu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this. "I heard that doing this job can make money."
So, her sister wanted to learn it because she could make money by slaughtering pigs?
Yu Jin blushed and whispered, "Sister, this... why don't we just not learn it?"
She grew up in the countryside, where farmers tend to speak bluntly and crudely, so she naturally understood what it meant to castrate a pig. But because she understood it, she couldn't help feeling a little shy.
Yu Li said: "Why? This job is quite simple. I was thinking that next time when Brother Zhang is invited to slaughter a pig, I will follow him and learn it."
As a butcher, Zhang Fu not only knows how to kill pigs, but also how to castrate them.
He often went to the countryside to collect live pigs, and sometimes helped people castrate pigs. Over time, he also took on the job of castrating pigs.
Yu Jin smiled awkwardly. This was not a question of whether it was simple or not, but, but...
Seeing her sister's puzzled face, Yu Jin felt that she was too dirty. Her sister clearly thought that this was just a legitimate business and she learned it for the money.
In the end, Yu Jin decided not to say anything, as long as her sister was happy.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that her sister was still too naive and could be easily deceived.
Of course, there was one thing Yu Jin still wanted to clarify: "Sister, you just said you wanted to castrate those two yamen runners..."
"You lied to them!" Yu Li said calmly, "Although I really want to do this, if a man is castrated, he will become mentally abnormal and affect social security, so forget it."
Since we can't kill them once and for all, then let's not let them get disabled there.
Yu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So it doesn't really require castration, that's good.
Otherwise, she felt that if her elder sister touched that, her hands would be dirty, and her elder sister would not have to put herself in such a difficult position.
-
After what happened, the two sisters lost interest in shopping and went straight back to the butcher shop.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of meat all over the room.
Lunch was ready. Zhang Yaoping and Uncle Luo were moving a table to the shadow in front of the eaves, and then brought the prepared stewed meat, stewed fish with sauerkraut and tofu, fried vegetables, pickles, etc. to the table.
Today's meal is very rich. There is a big pot of stewed meat alone, and another big pot of stewed fish with sauerkraut and tofu.
The staple food was rice, also in a big pot, and a basket of steamed buns, bought from the bun shop next door. Mainly because I was afraid that Yu Li would not have enough to eat, so I went to buy some.
Everyone was there, and when they saw the two sisters come back, they invited them to come over for dinner.
Yu Li took his sister to wash their hands and then sat at the table together.
The dinner table was very lively. There was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. People just talked about whatever they wanted.
Zhang Fu smiled and told everyone to eat more meat. He said to Yu Li, "Mother Li, it's rare for you to have lunch here. Eat more and let your sister eat more." Then he asked, "Where did you go just now? What kind of business does your second sister want to do?"
When Yu Jin heard him ask "Where did you go just now?", his expression froze.
Although she had threatened the two yamen runners clearly and logically before, she was surprised at her own boldness when she thought about it afterwards, and she also felt a little nervous after realizing it belatedly.
Zhang Fu and Boss Tu were both perceptive people, so they naturally noticed that something was wrong with her expression.
Yu Li said: "I went to the dock earlier and encountered some problems."
He told them about the injured porter at the dock.
Everyone looked unhappy. Zhang Yaoping even cursed: "What kind of brother-in-law is the county magistrate? He just relies on his sister who is the county magistrate's concubine to bully others. He doesn't even think about the fact that they didn't live much better than those people before."
Why do people, once they gain power, always oppress and exploit those who were once at the same level as them?
Uncle Luo picked up a piece of meat for him and told him to eat it and not to be angry.
They all knew what was going on at the dock. Ever since Manager Cui went to work at the dock, the porters' lives had become more difficult and they earned less and less money.
Unfortunately, they don’t have any special skills and can’t find any other way to make a living except doing this.
They have to support a family, and everything from food, drink, and shelter requires money, so they can only be exploited in silence. At least in the end they can get some money in their hands, which is enough to barely survive.
Seeing that Yu Jin looked unhappy, everyone thought she was frightened by this incident and considerately did not ask any more questions.
After lunch, Yu Li took his sister away.
Boss Tu went back to the village with them.
They walked back together.
After leaving the city, Tu Lao Da asked, "Li Niang, Jin Niang, did you encounter any problems before?"
He was a rough but delicate man, and he always felt that there was something strange on Yu Jin's face just now. It seemed that it was not because of the injury of the boatman at the dock, but there must be other reasons.
Yu Jin lowered her head nervously, not daring to look him in the eye.
She was still young, and couldn't gloss over what had happened. When she heard him ask, she couldn't help but get nervous.
Sure enough, seeing her like this, Boss Tu became more and more certain that they must have encountered something.
Yu Li did not hide anything from him and told him what they had encountered before.
As for Boss Tu, she felt that he was trustworthy.
He took extra care of Xuan Huaiqing because he had saved her, which showed that he was a grateful and upright person. Even if we told him, there was no need to worry that he would be exposed.
When he heard her say that she had crippled the legs of the county magistrate's concubine's brother, Tu Lao's eyes widened in surprise.
He stared at her blankly, as if he couldn't react for a moment.
Yu Jin didn't expect her sister to tell Boss Tu about this, but she would not question Yu Li's decision. She quickly defended herself, "Uncle Tu, it was that Manager Cui who went too far. He actually fell in love with my eldest sister and wanted to, wanted to..."
Having said this, she was still furious.
Boss Tu was also displeased. He said to Yu Li, "Mother Li, you did the right thing."
Yu Jin was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
She thought he would think her sister was too impulsive. Although she knew that Boss Tu would stand on her sister's side, she didn't expect him to agree.
Boss Tu glanced at her and thought to himself that it seemed that Li Niang's sister didn't know her abilities.
Although he took care of Yu Li for the purpose of repaying Master Xuan's kindness because Yu Li saved Xuan Huaiqing, he gradually discovered that she was actually very powerful and gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.
Boss Tu always believed in his intuition. Although he had never seen Yu Li do anything other than slaughtering pigs, he inexplicably had a sense of certainty.
She is very good.
He even had an illusion that if he faced her, he would definitely not be her match.
"You don't have to worry about it." Boss Tu smiled at them. "Like Jin Niang said, those two yamen runners are accomplices. In order to prevent Magistrate Zhang from settling accounts with them, they will definitely not let the Cui family reveal this matter. They will even keep a close eye on the Cui family."
Boss Tu could already imagine what would become of Manager Cui.
Never underestimate the evil and selfishness of human nature, not to mention that those two yamen runners have a whole family behind them.
For themselves and their families, they can do things more ruthlessly and cruelly.
Yu Li nodded lightly.
Yu Jin's originally uneasy heart also calmed down.
She secretly clenched her fists and finally made up her mind.
After saying this, Tu Lao Da turned to ask Yu Jin what she wanted to do for a living. After listening to her ideas, he said approvingly, "Jin Niang, this is a good idea. Multi-grain rice balls are dry and filling, and the price is not expensive. There will definitely be a lot of people buying them. If you want to make braised offal, you can come to the butcher shop to get the offal. The butcher shop's offal is given away as a gift. If you want it, I won't charge you for Li Niang's sake."
"How can this be possible?" Yu Jin shook his head, not wanting to take advantage of them.
Boss Tu laughed and said, "What's the use of this? Even if you want it, it's only ten cents a pair, not worth much."
Something worth ten cents wasn't worth pushing around, so Boss Tu quickly helped Zhang Fu make a decision and told her to just come and get it.
He said, "If you don't have time, you can ask Li Niang to bring it back to you."
Yu Li nodded, "Okay."
Anyway, she goes to the county town every day, so it’s no big deal for her to bring back a pair of diving shoes for her sister.
Yu Jin was touched and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tu."
Uncle Tu is such a good man. Although he looks like a bandit, he has a kind heart. No wonder he introduced a job to my elder sister.
When they were almost at the entrance of the village, Boss Tu suddenly thought of something and turned to Yu Li and said, "By the way, I have to go to the prefecture tomorrow. Brother Qing has something to ask me, so I won't go to the county town with you."
He didn't stay in the butcher's shop all the time. He would occasionally go to other places, sometimes to the mountains to hunt, and sometimes to the provincial capital.
The place he went to most often was the provincial capital, saying that he was going there to visit friends. He seemed to have many friends in the provincial capital.
I don’t know why his friends always let him go.
Yu Li was already used to it, and said, "I know." Then he asked, "Is his foot injury healed?"
"It was fine last month." Boss Tu said a little embarrassedly, "He wanted to come over to thank you, but he was stuck with something and couldn't leave."
Yu Li said "oh" and didn't take it to heart.
While Boss Tu was heading up the mountain along another road, the sisters Yu Li and Yu Jin also walked towards the village entrance.
Yu Jin asked curiously, "Sister, who is that Qing brother? How do you know him?"
She had never heard of Qing Ge'er.
"He's Uncle Tu's friend in the city." Yu Li said, "I saved him in the mountains before. He had injured his leg and couldn't walk."
Yu Jin just let out an "oh" and ignored it, thinking about business matters in his mind.
Boss Tu told them not to worry and told her to go to the county town at any time if she wanted to do business.
Entering the village, Yu Jin said, "Sister, I've made up my mind. I'm going to buy spices and offal tomorrow and try to make braised offal."
Poor people also eat offal, after all, it is cheap, but it has a strong taste and it is quite difficult to make it delicious.
She didn't know that offal could be braised before. It was when Zhou braised the offal that Yu Li brought it to her sisters to eat, and they were immediately amazed by its deliciousness.
It turns out that water can be so delicious.
Offal is cheap, and braised offal tastes so good, so the cost is really low.
This was the first thing she wanted to do when she came up with the idea of starting a business, but she had never made braised food before, so she had to learn some tricks first.
Yu Li said, "No need to buy. I have some spices over there. I'll go to the butcher's shop tomorrow and bring you some offal for you to stew." He thought of something and said, "If you don't know how to stew, you can come to my mother-in-law and ask her to teach you."
"Is this... not a good idea?"
"Nothing." Yu Li said, "Just bring her some gifts when the time comes."
After being with Zhou for so long, Yu Li already understood her character and knew that Zhou would not care about these things.
Zhou prefers embroidery to cooking. As for cooking, if someone asks her, she is never stingy with advice, just like the Zhou family next door.
