Chapter 32 Dragon and Phoenix Stew
Grandma Liu, of course, disagreed, and she gritted her teeth, wanting to ask for more money.
Si Xi has already taken a step forward.
Go ahead and hit me!
His eyes remained fierce, staring intently at Wang Mazi, gleaming coldly like a wild beast in the dim night.
Wang Mazi will get old.
And he will grow up.
He'll get his revenge for those two punches he got today.
Seeing that he still looked fierce, and comparing it to his son's timid and trembling appearance, Wang Mazi became even more furious and raised his fist high.
A murmur rippled through the crowd.
"Hit me gently."
"Don't use excessive force."
Grandma Liu rushed forward to pull him away, but was blocked by Wang Mazi's wife.
"My grandson... don't hit him, I'll kneel down for you, okay?"
"Don't kneel down, I can't accept that. If kneeling is all it takes for someone to make a mistake, then are there any prisoners left in jail?"
"you--"
"Aaaaah!" A scream came from behind.
It wasn't Si Xi's voice; it sounded more like...
Before Wang Mazi could even land a punch, he was kicked away.
"Wang Mazi, have you no shame? You think you can only bully children with your fists? Do you really think the Lu family has no one left?" Lu Yun pointed at Wang Mazi and cursed.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun stood side by side in front of Wang Mazi.
Lu Qingqing then came to Xiao Sixi.
"How was it? Did you get beaten up?"
"……without……"
Xiao Sixi's dark eyes suddenly filled with panic.
“I didn’t mean to hit him… He was the one who spilled my soup and tried to steal the meat.”
"Well done!" Lu Qingqing said.
well played?
Wouldn't she think he was a savage and unruly person?
"Lu Feng, Lu Yun, what do you mean by standing up for Lu Sixi?" Wang Mazi scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state.
Looking at the two young and strong brothers, their previous imposing manner had vanished.
"Then take out two taels of silver, and this matter will be settled."
"I'll take your mother's ass! Is your son's face made of gold? He'll only ask for two ounces, I'll cripple your legs, wouldn't it be better to just give him five ounces?"
"You...you all..."
Wang Mazi was furious, but dared not do anything.
He's a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.
Upon seeing this, his wife, Meng, immediately tried to grab Lu Yun's face.
In the village, men don't fight with women, otherwise they'll be looked down upon.
Taking advantage of being a woman, she used the face-scratching trick on the two brothers.
When Meng came to arrest them, Lu Yun and Lu Feng hid.
Meng became more and more excited, but her hand was grabbed in no time.
"So the Lu family has no women left? What can they do to you?"
Lu Qingqing smiled at her, then turned around and threw her over her shoulder.
"Bang!"
The short and stocky Meng lay down on the ground.
"Wow!"
"roar!"
"Lu Qingqing is so strong!"
"That's terrifying!"
Meng cried out in terror, Wang Jincai cowered on the ground, and Wang Mazi stared in disbelief.
"The Lu Xingwang family is bullying people! Everyone come and see! Is there no justice left?!"
Meng's howling attracted many villagers.
People came to watch the spectacle, carrying torches.
"Lu Qingqing, what right do you have to hit someone?" Wang Mazi straightened his chest again when he saw who it was.
"If you can bully the weak, why can't I beat the strong with the weak?"
"Lu Sixi, I've got your back! Anyone who bullies him again is bullying me!"
Lu Qingqing's clear voice sounded particularly cold in the night.
"Oh, Lu Qingqing, you have quite the nerve. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're some rich young lady who can just walk around the village like a tyrant?"
Dingxiang and her father came over wearing brand new clothes.
"Who is this? The hen has changed its clothes and turned into a parrot," Lu Qingqing mocked.
Dingxiang's face turned green.
"You country bumpkin! Open your eyes wide and look carefully, this is a gift from the magistrate!"
"Oh, I see, I see. No need to show off. I don't know what kind of crooked methods you used to save the magistrate's son."
If you're really capable, then pass the medical licensing exam and become a doctor with integrity.
"you……"
"Alright, why argue with her?" Ding Hongshi scolded Ding Xiang.
Then he crouched down to examine Wang Jincai.
"That was a pretty hard hit. It injured your bones and muscles. Your nose is a bit flat and it won't heal for at least ten days or half a month."
"Oh? Really, Dr. Ding!"
Wang Mazi shouted, wishing that all the villagers could hear him.
"Dr. Ding, please come quickly and take a look at my wife. She can't move."
Meng then shouted even louder.
Ding Hongshi went to check again.
"If you have a lumbar spine injury, it's best not to get out of bed for at least 100 days."
"Lu Qingqing, you're finished! Pay up!" Dingxiang perked up again.
Grandma Liu's face turned deathly pale, and in the firelight, she looked rather eerie.
Xiao Sixi exploded: "You half-baked doctor, talking nonsense!"
"You little brat, who are you talking about! My father and I were invited by the county magistrate to see a doctor!"
"Shameless, you..."
"Si Xi," Lu Qingqing called out.
Xiao Si stopped talking reluctantly, but then cursed again: "Dressed like a pheasant, ugly monster!"
Dingxiang was so angry that she wanted to go over and hit someone.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun stepped forward.
"Fine, fine, so the Lu family is bullying us, huh? I'll go tell the magistrate tomorrow!"
Lu Qingqing: "You talk like the government office is your own private property. Go if you want, who are you trying to scare? We've just called Dr. Pang, the best doctor in the city, to see if these two are really as your father said."
"An unlicensed doctor acting all high and mighty."
Lu Qingqing seems to specialize in hitting people's weaknesses.
Dingxiang's eyes flashed with guilt, but she couldn't say a word.
Huang Cuixiang rolled her eyes again: "Dr. Ding is definitely better than you. You can't even treat patients and you're just trying to fool people."
Lu Qingqing ignored her.
There are times when she cries.
"Lu Qingqing! Lu Feng, Lu Yun, pay us back the money! Everyone heard that, don't even think about leaving today without ten taels of silver!" Madam Meng shouted from the ground.
"Ten taels of silver? That's fine," Lu Qingqing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Meng was so excited she almost jumped up.
"No, you misspoke. Ten taels isn't enough; you need twenty taels."
"Can."
"..."
Thirty taels!
"Can."
"..."
Wang Mazi didn't believe it.
"Then why don't you take it out?"
"Have you decided on 30 taels?"
"...It's confirmed!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if Lu Qingqing was really going to take out 30 taels.
If he really takes 30 taels, then all I can say is that Lu Xingwang was incredibly unlucky to have raised such a daughter.
Oh, and those two sons too.
They didn't even try to stop it.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Qingqing opened the kitchen.
"Now that we've decided on the amount of money to compensate you, let's talk about what you need to compensate us."
"What compensation will you receive?" Meng screamed.
Lu Qingqing brought out the bowl of meat without soup.
"Your son spilled our Dragon and Phoenix Stew."
Do you know what a dragon and phoenix stew is?
It's turtle stew with hen meat.
The turtle is 20 years old, the hen is 2 years old, and it contains jujubes, astragalus, goji berries, and most importantly, ginseng powder that is 30 years old.
Those in the know understand that all the essential nutrients are in the soup; such a big bowl of soup...
The market price is 50 taels!
