699 Solving the Trouble

Chu Shi’an was both angry and frustrated, feeling extremely unlucky. “I didn’t take your money, don’t slander me.”

Seeing Chu Shi’an was unyielding, Sun Dinggui decided to go harder. “Brother, go find Chu Lan’er. At her age, she can be sold for a good price.”

Sun Dingfu immediately responded, “Okay,” and then ran into the village, calling, “Chu Lan’er, Chu Lan’er…”

Chu Shi’an rushed to stop him but was blocked by Sun Dinggui. “If you really care about your daughter, then hurry up and give us the silver.”

Sun Dinggui could block one person, but not two. Chu Rong chased after him.

Chu Shi’an, furious, punched Sun Dinggui in the nose. “Beast, Lan’er is your sister. How can you do this!”

Sun Dinggui, also enraged, started fighting with Chu Shi’an, and both quickly drew blood.

Xiao Chen, seeing things going awry, quickly called two people over to help.

After beating Sun Dinggui, they tied him to a tree. “You stay here and cool off.” With a bloody face, Sun Dinggui’s eyes were filled with rage, wishing he could kill Chu Shi’an. “Chu Shi’an, I won’t give up.”

Chu Shi’an had already gone after Sun Dingfu, ignoring Sun Dinggui.

On the other side, Chu Rong caught up with Sun Dingfu and blocked his way. “Hurry up and leave Chu Family Village, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

Suddenly remembering Chu Rong’s wealth, Sun Dingfu had a wicked idea.

“You’re so rich, why don’t you pay for Chu Shi’an? We’re not asking for much, just a thousand taels.”

Hearing this, Chu Shi’an nearly fainted from anger, cursing, “A thousand taels? Are you dreaming? Sun Dingfu, what makes you thinkyou’re worth a thousand taels?”

Seeing the man he used to bully cursing him, Sun Dingfu glared fiercely, looking like a vicious dog.

“Chu Shi’an, watch your mouth. What have you brought to our family as a live- in son-in-law? Instead, my mother gave you a daughter. What’s wrong with asking for a little silver?”

“My mother fell ill because of giving birth to Chu Lan’er. Shouldn’t you pay for her treatment?”

“If we knew you’d be so ungrateful, we would’ve never agreed to you becoming our live-in son-in-law!”

Chu Shi’an was left speechless by the scolding…

Suddenly, Chu Rong spoke up. “You keep saying your mother is ill. Fine, my daughters know medicine. Bring your mother here, and if she’s sick, we’ll make sure to cure her!”

Sun Dingfu hadn’t expected this response and suddenly lost his confidence. “We’ve already seen a doctor and got the prescription. We’re just waiting to pay the consultation fee.”

Chu Rong, though simple and honest, was no fool. “That’s fine. Bring the doctor over and show us the prescription. I’ll pay the consultation fee.”

Sun Dingfu glared at Chu Rong hatefully. Their claims were all lies; there was no doctor!

Sun Dingfu stubbornly refused. “Why should we do whatever you say? I won’t call the doctor today. Let’s see what you can do about it!”

Chu Rong smirked and called out loudly, “Da Bai, come here.”

Sun Dingfu looked around, wondering who or what Da Bai was.

As he was puzzled, the majestic Da Bai approached. Its intimidating gaze and the pressure of being the king of beasts overwhelmed Sun Dingfu.

Sun Dingfu, terrified, turned pale. Overcome with fear, his brain went blank, and he was paralyzed with fright.

From a distance, Sun Dinggui also saw this scene and was horrified. How could there be a tiger?

As Da Bai approached and growled softly, birds scattered in fright, and nearby animals-dogs, chickens, geese-ran away, daring not to come any closer.

‘Alth— ” Sun Dingfu screamed in terror, unable to withstand such fear, and fainted.

Chu Rong kicked Sun Dingfu’s leg. “With that courage, you dare to extort money from others!”

Everyone came over to watch the excitement.

Chu Qingzhi was pulled over by Li Qingyu, “Qingzhi, look, something big is about to happen.”

She had heard the two brothers planning to sell Chu Lan’er and felt trouble brewing, so she quickly went to find Chu Qingzhi.

As they approached, without needing Chu Qingzhi to ask, the crowd told her everything that had happened.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two brothers and called over Chu Haodong, “Take Sun Dingfu and Sun Dinggui back to Sun Village and tell the village chief there that if these two brothers cause trouble in Chu Village again, no one from Sun Village will be hired for work here in the future. Those from Sun Village who are currently employed will also have to leave.”

This idea was brilliant, and Chu Haodong agreed, “I’ll go right away.”

After the brothers were sent away, with Chu Qingzhi’s silent approval, her words spread through the workshop like a whirlwind. Soon, people from Sun Village were brainstorming eighteen different ways to prevent the brothers from causing trouble in Chu Village again.

After that, the brothers never came to Chu Village again.

Chu Lan’er found Chu Qingzhi and knelt to thank her, “Sister Qingzhi, thank you for solving such a big problem for us.”

Chu Qingzhi helped the young girl up, “From now on, just focus on your work, and thingswill get better.”

Chu Lanner nodded vigorously, “Yes.”

At Yunfei School.

Every day, Qiu Meiyun would prepare a bowl of soup for Yan Yixian and have a servant bring it to him.

That day, as she was about to deliver the soup again, the servant told her that Master Yan had asked her to bring it in herself. Qiu Meiyun was so nervous she almost spilled the soup bowl.

After hesitating for a while, Qiu Meiyun mustered her courage and entered Yan Yixian’s room, “Master Yan.”

“I’ve troubled you. Please sit.” Yan Yixian, sitting up in bed, said. His leg didn’t hurt as long as he didn’t move it.

Qiu Meiyun shook her head, feeling awkward and not sitting down, “No need,

I’ll just leave after delivering the soup.”

The atmosphere became silent, slightly awkward.

Just then, a clear child’s voice came from outside, breaking the awkward silence, “Teacher, are you feeling better?”

Yan Yixian smiled and responded, “Much better.”

The door was pushed open, and Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao walked in, one after the other.

Chu Xuyao handed him a taro pie, “This is a new taro pie made by my fifth sister, please try it.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Yixian thanked them, “You brothers are thoughtful. By the way, since you re here, could you help me bring the consultation fee back to your fifth sister?”

Chu Xuyuan waved his hand, “It’s better if you give it to fifth sister yourself.”

Yan Yixian thought it over and decided it would be more sincere to do it himself, so he didn’t insist further, “How about your studies? The child scholar exam is tomorrow, are you confident?”

Chu Xuyuan, putting his arm around Chu Xuyao’s shoulder, confidently said, “Please rest assured, Teacher, my ninth brother and I won’t have any major problems.”

Yan Yixian nodded with a smile, “This is an important exam in your life, make sure to do your best. But don’t worry too much, if you don’t do well this time, there’s always next time.”

Chu Xuyuan said, “We still think it’s better to pass it in one go.”

Yan Yixian said, “Then, I congratulate you in advance.”

“Thankyou,” Chu Xuyuan pointed outside, “Teacher, we’re going to review our lessonsnow.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Not long after the children left, Qiu Meiyun also left, feeling extremely nervous when she was alone with Yan Yixian.

Yan Yixian relaxed his clenched, sweaty fists and smiled slightly.
