Chapter 24 Shameless Request
"Girl, don't you want to tease me? Is this for food? Can this be eaten?"

Xi'er proudly raised her head, picked up one of the chopsticks she brought and threw it into her mouth.

"See, I ate it, and it's not poison. Try it and see what happens."

"you are vicious"

The shopkeeper angrily took one and chewed it, a smile appeared on his originally reluctant face.

"Well, although it looks ugly, it tastes good, a bit like you"

Xi'er rolled his eyes at him, "Would you like some? Let the guests have a taste, like just now, five cents a pack"

"You can have this one, wait for a while, there are no people yet, the weather is too hot, and there are not many customers"

Coming out of the restaurant, Xi'er grinned, the fat shopkeeper had a longer view than the noodle shop owner, he kept five catties and gave one hundred Wen.

He also said that in the future, he would ask her to send five catties a day, only two of them were sold, and they sold 160 Wen, which was a good result.

Then she went to the shop to sell her pickled melons. In the past, maybe she would be kicked out, but now, when she comes, she is very welcome.

She has gone shopping in almost all the shops in the town, and they all know that the candy sold by this girl is very good.

So when she came to sell pickled melons, the shop owner would buy a pound and try it, no matter whether it was delicious or not.

Originally, I thought that it would be difficult for her to see her young age, and buy some to take care of her business, but I didn't expect the pickled melon to be really delicious.

So they ran out one by one and bought some more from her. Before noon, all the twenty catties of pickled melons they brought were sold out.

I made an appointment with her for some that I didn't buy, and asked her to deliver them to the shop when she came back the next day.

When she returned home, she carried [-] catties of "purchased" vegetable melons into the house, and Mrs. Luo hurried over to unload the basket for her.

"Sold out?"

"Yes." She put the big pot in her arms on the ground, picked up the water on the table and drank it in one gulp, and then sat in a cool place to rest.

The black bull wagged its tail happily around her, and Xi'er patted its head.

"I'll buy you big bones next time, forget about it today"

Mrs. Luo poured her another bowl of water, and then sat across from her. Xi'er took out the purse, counted out a hundred cash and handed it to her.

"Mom, you can keep the money I gave you. As for the money owed to Uncle Ma's family, during the Chinese New Year, I will buy some New Year's goods and pay her back together."

"You saved money yourself?"

"Well, so you don't have to worry about money, you can spend what you need, and you can buy what you want to eat"

"You bought everything, what else would you buy?"

At this moment, the door of her house was knocked, and Xi'er signaled Mrs. Luo not to move. She ran to the door and saw several people standing outside through the crack of the door. Parents, and Huzi, as soon as she saw them, she knew that something was going to happen.

"Girl, open the door, I have business with you," the village head's voice.

Xi'er didn't open the door, and looked back at Mrs. Luo.

"Mother, it's the village head, and Li Hu's family"

Mrs. Luo got up and came to the gate of the courtyard, "Village chief, you stand back, I'll go out, let's talk outside, my son is sleeping, it's inconvenient to talk about things in the courtyard"

The few people who wanted to enter the courtyard had no choice but to take a few steps back, and then Mrs. Luo and Xi'er opened the courtyard door and walked out.

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, Li Hu's family said that your land didn't pay the grain tax this year, so let me act as a middleman and ask you for it."

In a word, Mrs. Luo almost fainted from anger, she asked with a cold face.

"Village chief, do you think I'm a widow who is easy to bully? My old lady is already at a disadvantage in exchange for the land deed, and you still want food tax? Do you want me to pay it to you every year?"

"It's not impossible," Li's mother said proudly with her lips curled up.

"Really shameless"

"Hey, you still dare to scold me. I came to you to give you face. Your land should have wheat, and there is no land for wheat. Shouldn't you pay me back the grain tax?"

Mrs. Luo ignored Li Hu's family, staring at the village head and questioning him.

"Fortunately, you are still the village head. One mu of my land is already worth six or seven taels of silver if no wheat is planted. If it is planted with wheat, it is worth more than ten taels of silver.

The Xi'er she bought in twos and twos, I've already suffered a loss by exchanging an acre of vacant land. Besides, the land deed they took in March can also be planted with wheat.

The imperial court only collects a quarterly tax from us in the north, so why should I pay taxes to his family?If you don’t understand the law, I understand, if you think I’m easy to bully, we’ll see you at the Yamen.”

Before the village chief could speak, Li Hu stepped forward and was about to push Mrs. Luo, but Xi'er pushed her away. She is not the one who just arrived at Luo's house.

One and a half months of spiritual energy to transform the body is more than enough to deal with Li Hu, a coward.

"You damn girl, how dare you treat me like this? Is your skin itchy again?"

"I'm no longer from your family. It's not that you can beat me if you want. If you touch me, I can go to the Yamen to sue you."

She protected old lady Luo behind her and stared at the village head coldly.

"I've seen bullies, but I've never seen such a bully. How can you be the head of this village? It's not fair at all. You come to ask them for such an unreasonable request. You are such a good village head." "

"You little girl, what do you know, get out of here, or I'll be rude to you"

The village head stared at Xi'er fiercely, Xi'er was not afraid at all, and stared at him directly.

"If you still want to be the head of this village, be honest. If you don't want to be the head of the village, I can file a complaint and go to the Yamen to sue you. Over the years, the things you have done are well-founded and traceable. It can be found, when the time comes, let the people of the whole county see how the head of Li Village bullied orphans and widows."

"you you,"

"Go away, come to my house again to take advantage of it, be careful I'm rude to you, hum"

Li Hu's family saw that the little girl who used to be a cow and a horse in their own house dared to speak to them like this, so they quit immediately.

The family rushed over like hungry wolves, Xi'er swept them down with a sweep of the hall's legs, she turned around and pushed old lady Luo back into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door with her backhand.

Seeing Li Hu jumping towards him after getting up, he kicked him flying out of his heart.

Li Hu screamed and fell to the ground, Li's father and Li mother hurried over to help Li Hu, and the three of them stared at her fiercely.

Xi'er snorted coldly, and glanced at the village head with disdain.

"With this little ability, I still want to come to my house to take advantage of it. Let me tell you, I am not afraid of a lawsuit. I have learned martial arts from a master who has a long history. If anyone wants to bully our family in the future, he will have to see if my fist will agree. Today This is to teach you a lesson, come back next time, break your legs, this is called self-defense in the law, understand?"

The village chief's face was flushed, and he pointed at Xi'er with trembling lips.

"If it wasn't for me, your life would have been gone long ago?"

"Really, is it the doctor you hired for me, or the medical expenses you paid for me? You are just afraid that killing people will affect you, so you all bully my mother,
Forcing me, who is about to die, to a lonely old man, so that your Li family can benefit, you still have the face to talk about this matter, including Ji Kang's brother, you are not out to make decisions for Ji Kang,
Instead, push a seriously injured man to a helpless mother and daughter. Where's your face? Where's your conscience?Did the dog eat it? "

"You, you, you talking nonsense"

"Bah, put away your hypocrisy, our family of three has never received any help from your Li clan, if you still dare to bully others so blatantly, even if I risk my life, I will drag you down together hell"

After Xi'er finished speaking, she turned around and pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door behind her back.

Outside, the village head walked around in circles for several times with nowhere to vent his anger. He pointed at Li Hu's family, "It's all of you, you insisted on asking me to follow you to ask for food tax. Don't come to me for things like this in the future, hmph!"

The village chief left, Li Hu and the others wanted to knock on the door and toss around for a while, but when they thought of the girl's murderous eyes, they all became timid.

Quickly patted the dirt on their bodies, supported each other and went home.
