Chapter 83
Xu Chengwei stood up abruptly from his chair, pointed at shopkeeper Chen and yelled, "How dare you not admit it? Someone is here, give me [-] boards first."

Wang Zhifu hurriedly helped him up, "General Xu, don't get excited, the judge will judge the case immediately, please sit down first."

When Xu Chengwei sat back, Prefect Wang patted the gavel again, "Shopkeeper Chen, you've been convicted!"

Shopkeeper Chen kowtowed and repented, "The villain is convicted."

Then he said that because he was jealous of the Wu family's Mala Tang business, and because their family shamed him in front of several adults, he hired someone to smash their stall to make them unable to continue.Someone went there a few days ago, but their house didn't set up a stall in those days.It happened that they went out to set up a stall the day before yesterday, and those gangsters immediately went over to smash the stall.He originally thought that the peasants had no power or influence, but he couldn't think that things would turn out like this, and now he regrets too much.

The facts of the case are clear, shopkeeper Chen is the mastermind behind the scenes, but the group of hooligans can't escape the responsibility, but the case is not too serious, it just smashed the stall, so the result of Wang Zhifu's judgment is as follows: shopkeeper Wang compensates the Wu family for 100 taels of damages , and will go to prison for a few days, and those gangsters are all locked in prison.

After retiring, He Hua and Wu Shan walked out of the yamen, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. After this incident, I believe that no one in Luo County will dare to think about their family in the future.

Mrs. Zhang was in a hurry at home, not knowing what to do, why they haven't come back now, and whether something will happen.Will it be punished.The more I think about it, the more worried I become.

When Wu Jiafan came home, he saw her trembling uncontrollably, held her hand and asked, "Mother, what happened, where are Dad and Hehua?"

"Your father and lotus were taken away by the government!" He began to cry as he spoke.

Wu Jiafan quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't cry, I'll go and see what's going on, you wait at home."

After he finished speaking, he helped Mrs. Zhang to sit up, and ran to the magistrate's yamen, and happened to meet Lotus and the others on the way back.He rushed over and shouted, "Lotus!"

Lotus held him back and told him not to panic, and we'll talk about it when we have something to go back.

Zhang's heart finally settled down when the group of them arrived at home.Quickly asked: "What did your lord tell you to do?"

"It's okay, mother, the magistrate has found the murderer who smashed our stall, let us testify, those people have gone to jail, and they have to compensate us 100 taels of silver." He Hua explained, if he didn't explain clearly, he might feel uneasy, ordinary people He is most afraid of meeting officials.

"So good?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask dad." Lotus was speechless, is this so hard to accept?

"Well, what He Hua said is right, it was done for us by the magistrate and the master of the Xu family." Wu Shan said.I was moved, this is really a good official.

Just as he was talking, a man dressed as a junior came in from outside. He poked his head around for a while and asked, "Excuse me, is this Wu Shan's home?"

Wu Shan walked over, "I am Wu Shan, what can you do with me?"

Someone came and handed over a bag, "This is the silver that our boss ordered to bring here!"

Wu Shan took the silver, and the visitor left after saying goodbye. Wu Shan turned his head, "See, you should believe it now."

It was a blessing in disguise for them. The news that the owner of Tianxianglou was jealous of Wu's small stall and found someone to smash it spread all over Los Angeles.Those who have eaten Malatang, who have never eaten Malatang, are looking forward to the Wu family's small stall being set up as soon as possible.The Wu family's reputation suddenly rose.The business in the associated shops has also improved.

In response to everyone's calls, they quickly bought the stove, table, bowls and other tools for setting up a stall, and they were ready to start work.

Business is now better than ever.Later, when the weather got hotter, people started to eat less. No one wanted to eat Malatang under the sun.

But it happened to be the day when the crops grew, and they didn't have any extra people to do it, so they could just take a break and go back to harvest rice.

It was around this time last year that the peppers were planted, but the lotus was unwilling to plant them in Wujia Village, because now everyone knew that their family had a unique material, and it was easy for others to guess where they were planted.Had to find a place to plant where no one else knew them.If other people have chili too, they don't have any advantage.So keep it a secret.At least they can't let others know when their business is still in its infancy.

Lotus thought of buying land elsewhere.Now that I have money, it is easy to buy dozens of acres of land, but I just can't find out where there is land for sale.

This time, Wu Shan wanted to inquire about the land in a village far away from Wujia Village.Finally let him find out.There are two villages where people want to sell their land.

In a relatively large village, a family wanted to sell their land and move to the city.There are about [-] mu. The other village is very small, and a family wants to move out, but the land for sale is only [-] mu. Wu Shan wants to buy [-] mu of land.Because Lotus said that he would buy more, but he still told her both places.

He Hua decided to take a field trip. It happened that Wu Jiafan also had a day off that day, and the two followed Wu Shan together.

The first thing I went to was the big village. This village was Zhujia Village. The people in it all had the same surname. Eyes on them.

The three of them came to the house of the land seller, and all the family members could not escape, only the male master came out to receive them.

He kept bragging about how good his land was, how good the water source was, and how fertile it was. To put it bluntly, he wanted to sell it for more money.

Wu Shan asked him to take them to see those lands, which were ordinary lands, not as good as he said.

Finally Wu Shan asked him, "How much is your land per mu?"

The man surnamed Zhu rolled his eyes. He thought that this man must have some money to buy his 20 acres of land. Looking at his situation, he might be in a hurry, so he smiled and said, "Look, There are a lot of people rushing to buy my land, don’t I think you are an honest person? Just sell it to you for [-] taels per mu.”

He Hua and Wu Jiafan rolled their eyes at the same time.

Wu Shan happened to see their actions and knew that lotus flowers were too expensive for them, so he also thought it was too expensive, so he asked, "Can it be cheaper? I can only pay 15 taels per mu at most."

The man surnamed Zhu waved his hand, "No, no, no less than 20 taels."

"Why can't it be less? As far as I know, even the best field is only 15 taels, and 15 taels for your land is already considered very high!" Wu Jiafan couldn't help but said.

"What do you know, kid? I only sell it for 20 taels here. If you don't buy it, you will lose it!" The man surnamed Zhu said while sneaking his eyes at Wu Shan.He just wanted to extort more money.
