The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

93 Mr. Zhou’s Love Tribulation

“You can go against the heavens, but you can’t live with your sins.” Li Yu looked at Madam Liu and Chen Baozhen mockingly. “Are you still human? How did I offend you for you to do such a vicious and shameless thing?”

Madam Liu knelt in front of Li Yu with a bang and begged, “Xiaoyu, we’ve let you down. Aren’t you still fine?! My Baozhen still has to get married! Let us go! I’ll kowtow to you.” As Madam Liu spoke, she kept kowtowing to Li Yu.

Li Yu walked up to Madam Liu and looked down at her. “Let you off? I was fine at home when you and your daughter called me over to help. So you deliberately tricked me here to drug me. You’re really the guilty party.”

Madam Li, Li Mei, and the women rushed to the village chief’s house. Li Mei saw Madam Liu kowtowing to Li Yu non-stop, and Chen Baozhen looking ghastly. Li Yu was also saying that Madam Liu and her daughter had drugged her.

Li Mei was scared out of her wits. She rushed in and hugged Li Yu to check around. “Yu’er, are you alright? Why did the Liu family drug you?”

Li Yu’s heart warmed when she saw Li Mei’s worried expression. She told Li Mei what had happened and comforted her. “Aunt, I’m fine. It’s Chen Baozhen who’s in trouble. I don’t know why they wanted to drug me.”

Li Mei was relieved and turned around to scold Madam Liu and her daughter. Only then did she see Chen Baozhen, who was lying there in a daze with a flushed face and groaning. She gasped. “Heavens! What sin did you two commit?”

Madam Ma and Madam Li blushed and apologized to Li Yu. “Xiaoyu, the Chen family has let you down. When Father-in-law comes back, we will give you an explanation.”

Li Yu looked at the two upright and kind women and went forward to support them. “Auntie Li, Auntie Ma, that’s a different matter. You’re not on the same side as them.”

Madam Li was furious. “They’re also from the Chen family!”

After apologizing, Madam Ma went out to call the village chief.

Madam Li looked at Chen Baozhen and her mother in disgust. “Xiaoyu, what’s wrong with Baozhen? Can she still be treated?”

Li Yu shook her head. “Auntie Li, I don’t know about that either. I might have to ask the person Ji Xiang captured.”

When everyone arrived at the courtyard, the village chief and Chen Yaohui returned. Chen Yaohui went forward and kicked Ye Lianggong a few times.

The village chief bowed to Zhou Jia and Li Yu in embarrassment. “Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhou, I’ve lived for decades for nothing. I can’t even teach my daughter well and now she’s done such a vicious and shameless thing.”

Zhou Jia looked at the village chief’s tottering appearance and hurriedly supported him to comfort him. “Grandpa Village Chief, don’t blame yourself. What they did has nothing to do with your upbringing.”

An old granny also persuaded, “As the old saying goes, a dragon has nine sons. The nine sons are not like their mother. When the child is born, we can teach the person, but we can’t teach the heart.”

The village chief sobbed and said, “I’m useless. I didn’t discipline her strictly since she’s the youngest in the family. I’ll give Xiaoyu justice.”

Chen Yaohui pointed at Ye Lianggong and asked Madam Li, “Who is he? Why is he at Father’s house?”

Madam Li shook her head. “When we came in, we saw that he had been captured by Ji Xiang.”

Zhou Jia looked at Ye Lianggong. “As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw him sneak into the courtyard and follow him to the door of the central room. For some reason, he turned around and walked out. I went forward and asked him who he was. He didn’t say anything. I stopped him and didn’t let him go, so I fought him. Later, Ji Xiang came and subdued him.”

Li Yu lowered her head to take a closer look and recognized that it was the hooligan she had met on the mountain path that day. She pointed at him and said, “This person is not a good person. I taught him a lesson... ” Li Yu went on to relate why she taught Ye Lianggong a lesson.

Zhou Jia and Li Qing were so angry that they rushed up and beat Ye Lianggong up. Li Qing shouted at Ye Lianggong, “Throw this bastard up the mountain to feed the wolves.”

Ye Lianggong screamed miserably. Chen Yaohui walked over and said to the village chief, “Father, I think we should call Second Mother out and ask why this person came to our house.”

The village chief nodded weakly. Madam Li stopped Chen Yaohui and whispered, “Ah Hui, let me call her! I don’t know what Baozhen ate that she can’t see anyone. I have to ask what medicine this person gave her.”

Chen Yaohui was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth to pieces. Seeing that his father had aged a lot in the blink of an eye, he persuaded the village chief with heartache, “Father, don’t be angry. Go sit and rest first.”

The village chief waved his hand. “I’ll wait for her to come out and ask before leaving.”

Madam Liu walked out of the house trembling. She knelt in front of the village chief and begged, “Baozhen’s father, quickly save Baozhen. I don’t know what medicine this man gave her, but she’s still unconscious.”

The village chief looked at Madam Liu and panted angrily. “Who do you think this man is? Where did he come from? Why did he come to our house?”

“He said that he lives in Phoenix Town and is called Ye Lianggong. He said that Xiaoyu has a grudge against him and he wants to take revenge on Xiaoyu. That girl, Baozhen, is obsessed and wants... wants...” Madam Liu stammered and could not continue.

The village chief shouted, “You still want to protect her? Tell me, why?”

Madam Liu was so frightened that she trembled. “Baozhen said that Mr. Zhou humiliated her. She said that she stayed up late to make embroidery and sincerely congratulated him on his housewarming. It would have been fine if Mr. Zhou doesn’t like embroidery and threw it away. But he even asked someone to send it back to you and embarrassed her. She wanted to take revenge on Mr. Zhou. That day, she was convinced by this man by the stream, so she agreed to join forces with him to teach Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou a lesson. Who knew that Xiaoyu found out and fed the medicine to Baozhen? Father, we know our mistake. Please save Baozhen!” Madam Liu kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Li Yu rolled her eyes at Zhou Jia. What a kid. He actually attracted admirers and even provoked a love calamity.

Zhou Jia did not expect a disaster to happen because of him. He looked at Madam Liu and said angrily, Your girl didn’t abide by the societal rules and didn’t know how to discipline herself. You even allowed the girl to take revenge and almost harmed Xiaoyu. Fortunately, my Xiaoyu is capable. If it were another weak woman, wouldn’t you have succeeded? You’re too shameless.”

“Unfortunately, my family...” The village chief fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

“Father, what’s wrong?” Madam Liu, Chen Yaohui, and Madam Li pounced forward, wanting to help the village chief up. Li Yu hurriedly stopped them. “Hurry up and help him lie down.”

After Chen Yaohui helped the village chief to lie down, Zhou Jia went forward to take his pulse. “The village chief is angry. When he recovers, we’ll carry him into the house to recuperate. He can’t be agitated anymore.”

After a while, the village chief slowly recovered. He pointed at Ye Lianggong weakly and said to Chen Yaohui and his brother, “Lock your second mother and Baozhen up and get someone to go to Phoenix Town to find his clansmen. Let them give us an explanation before sending that dog to the government office.”

“Got it, Father.” Chen Yaohui carried the village chief to his house, and Madam Liu stumbled after him.

Li Yu looked at Chen Yaozu and reminded him, “Uncle Chen, let him write down his confession, and have him sign it before going to town to look for their clansmen.”
