Chapter 50
Huo Rui and the others looked up and saw a fat woman in coarse linen standing on the edge of the field. She had a hoe in her hand and looked aggressive and arrogant, as if she was ready to pounce at them at any time.
Huo Rui had been in trouble a lot, and had seen people more vicious than her, so he was not afraid. He said, "Fat aunt, if you say this sweet potato is yours, then it's yours. What proof do you have?"
Although Huo Shun was a little scared, he still did not lose the battle. He stumbled and agreed, "Yes! I...how do we know that this sweet potato is yours? Who knows if you are trying to trick us?"
"Proof?" Niu Cuihua sneered as if she had heard something funny. "You bastard, I've been working on this land for years. Who doesn't know that this land belongs to me?"
She spat into her palms, rubbed her hands, raised the hoe, looked at them, and said, "Either pay the money or I'll beat you up. It's your choice."
The three of them are all young masters, so how could they carry money with them?
Huo Ze timidly stretched out from behind Huo Rui and said, "You...you dare! Do you know who our boss is?"
Niu Cuihua rolled her eyes at him, looking impatient, "I don't care who your boss is. Even if the king of heaven comes, you have to pay for stealing things."
As she spoke she took a few steps closer to them.
Seeing this, Huo Rui winked at Huo Shun and Huo Ze, signaling them to run separately.
Seeing this, the two nodded secretly.
"What on earth are you..." Before Niu Cuihua could finish her words, she saw the three of them running up the hillside separately.
"Aiya! You three bastards, you dare to run!"
Niu Cuihua picked up the hoe and chased after them desperately.
Her goal was very clear, she just chased after Huo Rui, because he had her sweet potato on him.
"Stop right there, you bastard!"
Huo Rui turned around and made a face at her while running, saying, "Fat auntie, come and chase me!"
His fearless attitude completely infuriated Niu Cuihua, causing her to chase him madly.
On the hillside, Luo Chaoyan looked like a spectator.
The guards of the Huo family were a little worried that the young master would get hurt, and wanted to go forward, but were stopped by Luo Chaoyan.
She said seriously: "Don't worry, these are all farmers, they won't really hurt your young master." Hehe! It is inevitable to suffer a little.
"Besides, I'm doing this for his own good. Farmers work hard on the land to support their families, but he takes it for himself. I think I should teach him a lesson so that he will remember this lesson." She looked like a loving mother.
Yin Miaoshan's face twitched. Her cousin's words sounded very righteous, but what was wrong with the joy on her face? She had been worried that her cousin would not get along well with the naughty kid, and that being the stepmother would be a disadvantage. But now it seems that she was overthinking it, and it is not certain who will suffer the disadvantage!
"This?" The Huo family guards hesitated.
Luo Chaoyan promised, "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it."
Huo An didn't quite understand what they were talking about. When he saw Huo Rui being chased all over the ground, he thought he was playing a game. He clapped his hands happily, "Brother! Run!"
Huo Yu looked at his silly and happy face and couldn't help but shed tears for Huo Rui, this silly brother!
He looked at Luo Chaoyan's unconcealable smile again and sighed: The teacher is right, only women and villains are difficult to raise! Huo Rui, ah Huo Rui, you just wish me good luck!
Huo Rui was being chased and running until he was sweating profusely. Even if he was full of energy, he was only a five-year-old child after all, and he could not match an adult in any way.
Although Niu Cuihua is fat, she is used to doing farm work and is quite agile.
Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Huo Rui thought quickly and picked up a small sweet potato and threw it at her.
Seeing this, Niu Cuihua quickly dodged.
Seeing that this trick was effective, Huo Rui would throw a sweet potato at her every time she was about to catch up. He didn't forget to stick out his tongue at her proudly.
But he didn't feel proud for long. When he turned around to throw sweet potatoes at Niu Cuihua, he didn't notice that there was a broken section on the ridge in front of him. He stumbled and fell to the ground, landing in the mud.
"Run! You bastard!" Niu Cuihua walked up to him in one quick step. A bear paw slapped him on the butt.
Huo Rui raised his head, his face covered with mud, hiding the anger on his face. This was the second woman to spank him.
He spat out the mud in his mouth and said angrily, "Fat auntie, don't spank me."
“Pah!”
Niu Cuihua slapped him again. Every family has a naughty child, and spanking is the lightest punishment.
"Didn't your parents tell you that the things in this field have an owner, you little bastard!"
She grabbed the man and said, "Come on, take me to find your master."
"Boss!"
When Huo Shun and Huo Ze saw that their boss was caught by the fat aunt, they stopped running and quickly turned back and ran over.
"Let our boss go!"
Niu Cuihua held Huo Rui's clothes in one hand and a hoe in the other, and shouted at them, "Are you looking for a fight?"
Seeing her pick up the hoe with such an angry look, the two men were a little scared and did not dare to act rashly.
"You...don't hurt our boss, I...we will take you to find the adults in our family." Huo Ze said in a low voice.
The so-called adults on the hillside were laughing mercilessly and could not straighten their backs.
"Ha ha!"
Luo Chaoyan covered her stomach which hurt from laughing. It was really funny, especially seeing Huo Rui falling flat on his face. This should be the most embarrassing moment for this guy. snort! Let you bother me! Makes you want to eat sweet potatoes! It's retribution!
Thinking that she could use this incident to tease him from time to time in the future, she couldn't help laughing.
Shu Lan coughed lightly, signaling her to be more restrained. So as to avoid being criticized.
When Niu Cuihua carried Huo Rui up to them, she saw that they were numerous and had many guards watching not far away.
She quickly let Huo Rui go. He had just looked like he was ready to call for an explanation, but suddenly he became as lifeless as a flower or plant that has been exposed to the sun.
Since she lost in momentum, she decided to play soft. She wiped away her bitter tears, looked at Luo Chaoyan and the others, and said, "My dear gentlemen and ladies! We farmers rely on the little harvest from the fields to make a living. Not only have these kids from your family destroyed my fields, they have also dug up my sweet potatoes. This is going to kill me!"
"My life is miserable!"
Huo Shun and Huo Ze were stunned by the transformation of the fat aunt. Is this really the fat aunt who beat them so fiercely just now?
Luo Chaoyan looked guilty and said, "Aunt, don't be sad. It's my child's fault. He didn't even ask if the sweet potato had an owner before digging it up. It's really wrong."
Then she looked at Huo Rui with disappointment and said, "Xiao Rui, didn't the teacher teach you that if you don't strive for self-improvement, you will be considered a thief? Where did you remember all the books you read? Apologize to your aunt immediately."
Huo Rui pursed his lips. If he still didn't realize that he had fallen into this woman's trap, he would be a fool. Thinking of how she had seen him fall with mud all over his face, he became so angry that his teeth were itching.
"What? You did something wrong, but you don't want to repent?" Luo Chaoyan acted like a stern elder and said, "Then I'll have to tell the teacher that you stole other people's sweet potatoes. Let's see how many times the teacher will punish you to copy the book?"
"Fifty? Or a hundred? My hands are sore for you guys!"
"Ah? Copying books again!"
Huo Shun and Huo Ze had bitter faces. Did they have a grudge against copying books in this life?
They looked at Huo Rui, "Boss?"
Huo Rui glared at Luo Chaoyan. This woman was clearly threatening him. Originally he wanted to use money to get rid of the fat woman, but now he had to apologize to her.
"Fat aunt, I was wrong. I shouldn't have dug your sweet potatoes." A real man can bend and stretch, and he will remember this mistake.
Niu Cuihua was stunned by this scene. How could she admit her mistake? She thought she would have to cry harder.
Luo Chaoyan asked Fengli to pass her some silver and said, "Aunt, this is the money to compensate you. I hope you can forgive them for their sake."
Niu Cuihua felt the purse was heavy in her hand. She couldn't help but open it and took a look. She was stunned to see several white silver ingots. It was the first time she saw so much silver.
"This? Are these all for me?" She felt a little guilty. After all, the dug sweet potatoes were not worth that much money. Moreover, it was obvious that these people were either rich or noble. Even if they did not compensate, she would not dare to confront them head-on.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Yes, this is our apology, please accept it, Auntie."
Niu Cuihua immediately said cheerfully, "I forgive you! I forgive you! They are just sweet potatoes. If you like, you can go and dig some more. Just don't step on the seedlings."
As she said this, she bent down and bowed to them, then ran away like a top. As if afraid that they would go back on their word.
Shu Lan quickly asked someone to use water to clean the mud off Huo Rui's face.
Luo Chaoyan looked at him and saw that he was holding several sweet potatoes in his arms. She smiled and said, "Let's go up the mountain. When we get to the top, we'll roast the sweet potatoes!"
She emphasized the word "sweet potato" so much that Huo Rui almost couldn't help but throw a sweet potato at her.
