Chapter 155: Claiming the Title

Su Li was not surprised that Wang Chunhua could still fork out the fare.

Yao Jun and the others weren’t used to stealing. Moreover, people like Wang Chunhua wouldn’t just put their money in one place. Therefore, it wasn’t realistic to empty all their assets in one go.

Wang Chunhua noticed Su Li’s gaze and glanced at her in disdain, as if she was telling Su Li how amazing she was.

The corners of Su Li’s lips curled up as she turned her gaze to the side. Let them be smug for a while. Their “good days” were still ahead!

The ox cart quickly moved.

When they arrived at the He Family Village, Wang Chunhua pulled Su Li to the village chief’s house without stopping.

Su Li asked He Qingyao and He Qingmu to go home to visit He Yufeng first. She would go back after she was done.

The two little fellows were unwilling to go back first. They were afraid that Su Li would be bullied by Wang Chunhua and the others. Moreover, they had promised their uncle just now that they would protect Su Li well. They could not go back on their word.

Su Li asked, “Didn’t you guys miss Daddy? Why aren’t you willing to go back first?”

Before they set off, they looked like they were ready to run back home. They wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly to He Yufeng’s side. Why were they not going back now?

He Qingyao and He Qingmu said, “We want to be with Mother. We want to protect you.”

Su Li was stunned for a moment before she chuckled. “It’s fine. No one can bully me. Go back and see your father first.”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu grabbed her clothes tightly and looked like they wanted to be with her.

Seeing them like this, Riceball also ran over and bit the corner of Su Li’s skirt. Su Li said dotingly, “I really can’t reject the both of you!”

Wang Chunhua urged impatiently from the side, “Alright, alright, hurry up and leave! Why are you dilly-dallying?”

She was still waiting to get the silver. If they continued to dawdle like this, when would the silver reach her pocket?

At this moment, the farming season had passed. There was no work to do in the fields, and everyone was free.

He Yuan was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard.

Early this morning, Zhou Yu went out for visiting, so he was the only one at home.

With his sharp eyes, he saw Su Li, Wang Chunhua, and the rest walking towards his house. He Yuan couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

Was he seeing things?

Didn’t Su Li go back to her maiden home? Why was she with Wang Chunhua again?

Could it be that he was seeing things?

When he saw them enter the courtyard majestically, He Yuan’s mouth fell open.

He looked at the few of them and could not help but swallow.

Could it be that they got into a fight and came to him to reason?!

Thinkinz of this possibility, He Yuan felt a headache coming on.

It was said that it’s difficult for an honest official to resolve family matters, let alone a lousy village chief like him. How could he handle these lousy matters well!

“What’s the matter?” He Yuan asked.

Wang Chunhua hurriedly said, “Village Chief, it’s like this. My third Daughter-in-law wants to use ten taels of silver to buy back the previous document, so we came to you and asked you to take out the previous document and give it to her as a witness.”

He Yuan frowned when he heard Wang Chunhua’s words.

The He family was not the type to suffer losses. In the past, seven taels of silver a month was still considered too little. Why did they agree to settle this matter with just ten taels?

He Yuan looked at Su Li. “Is that so?”
