Chapter 729 - I’m The Lanlord(5) (2/2)
“I saw you standing outside for a long time. Did anyone bully you?” Du Gu Xia asked.
Su Hua went up and supported him, “it’s all because of Ruan Xiao Yang. She came here to collect rent. How is our village going to afford to pay rent in this situation?”
“The Ruan Family is so rich, yet they still want to exploit us. Did she think that planting paddy is easy?”
Su Hua kept complaining while Du Gu Xia listened quietly. He blew a whistle after Su Hua went in to cook.
A black silhouette hopped in from the window, “master.”
“InvestigateRuan Xiao Yang.”
“Yes, master.”
The silhouette left without a sound.
The villagers saw Shi Sheng’s face and were scared that she would get her revenge for that day, so when they heard that only Su Hua’s family was the only tenant who needed to pay rent, they did not dare to say anything.
……
Su Hua was definitely unhappy that she was the only one who needed to pay rent. Shi Sheng heard that Su Hua beat up the rent collector who was sent to collect rent.
The person who beat them up obviously was not Su Hua. It was Du Gu Xiu.
The rent collector came back with his face bruised and swollen, “Miss, that Su Hua was too arrogant. Not only she didn’t pay the rent, she even beat me up. Look at what she did to me.”
“What did she say?” She has the male lead helping her, good job.
“She said she doesn’t have food to pay us, but she has a life.” the rent collector gnashed his teeth, “Miss, look at what she’s talking about. She is a scoundrel.”
Female leads were all about scoundrels. Most of them had this skill.
It’s still the same phrase- shameless people are invincible in this world.
Shi Sheng waved her hand, “to get your salary, you can rest for the next few days.”
The rent collector stopped complaining and was full of gratitude, “thanks, Miss.”
Su Hua was a scoundrel to Shi Sheng. She took it easy as if anyone did not know how to be a scoundrel.
Even I’m afraid of myself when I’m like that.
Shi Sheng ordered someone to collect the land rented to Su Hua. Since she was not paying the rent, she could not plant there anymore.
Su Hua naturally was against it. Since she could not argue with them, she went up to the Ruan Mansion directly.
“Ruan Xiao Yang, come and face me.” Su Hua slapped on Ruan Mansion’s gate, shouting so loudly until everyone from the street could hear her.
It was still early, so only some merchants were preparing to set up their stalls. They gathered around the Ruan Mansion when they heard that someone was making a scene in front of the Ruan Mansion.
“Ruan Xiao Yang, come out! Don’t be a wuss. The others may be scared of you, but I, Su Hua, am not!”
“Ruan Xiao Yang…”
The citizens were curious about Su Hua’s blabbering and were gossiping.
“Creak-”
The gate of the Ruan Mansion opened slowly, Qiu Shui with the other servants standing inside.
“Where’s Ruan Xiao Yang?” Su Hua stepped into the mansion immediately, “tell her to come out.”
The servants behind Qiu Shui walked out in a line, blocking Su Hua’s path. Qiu Shui sneered, “Su Hua, do you think the Ruan Mansion is someplace that you can come and go as you please? That our Miss is someone that you can meet just because you want to?”
Su Hua as a lady was no match for men. Two servants carried her out.
Qiu Shui headed out elegantly in small steps, ordered the servants, “bring her to the officials and say that she’s trespassing the Ruan Mansion.”
“Yes.”
Su Hua was stunned. She only began to struggle when she was carried down the stairs. She yelled out loud, “what are you doing! Let go of me, Ruan Xiao Yang, come out and face me if you dare, let me go…”
“Stop gathering here.” Qiu Shui chased those gathered outside Ruan Mansion.
