Chapter 179: Chapter 178: About to Get Beaten Up

Qin Yao asked, “Dad, do you think this ox is good?”

Old Liu nodded. It’s a good ox, we can’t lie about that.

But it’s useless for us!

“Let’s go, let’s go. Third Brother and the others should have already bought what they needed. Let’s head back.” Old Liu grabbed Jinbao and the other children who were eager onlookers causing trouble. “Go home.”

Jinbao took Jinhua by the hand, reluctant to leave, “Oh.”

Qin Yao, however, didn’t move and said firmly, “Dad, I want to buy it. I don’t want to farm.”

“You won’t farm even with just ten mu of land?” Old Liu didn’t understand and was greatly shocked.

Qin Yao nodded, she was determined to buy it!

She motioned for Old Liu to step aside, walked over to the seller, and was about to pay.

Unexpectedly, the few who had been bargaining earlier saw her attempting to buy it, suddenly stopped haggling, and hurriedly said they wanted it too.

The seller found himself in a dilemma, looking at Qin Yao and then at the few instigators, uncertain who to sell to.

Qin Yao ignored them, directly pushed the money into the seller’s hand. “Everything has an order, I said I’d buy it first, so it should be sold to me!”

The group was displeased and blocked the seller, not allowing him to take Qin Yao’s money, “Where did this woman come from, does she have no sense of order? Everyone saw clearly, we were obviously here first, and we’re still discussing!”

Seeing this situation, Old Liu couldn’t persuade Qin Yao, he shouted, “What are you doing? Trying to bully people in broad daylight?”

Having said that, he put the iron plow on the ground, showing a protective posture.

The few people, seeing this, looked unpleasant, but seeing that the other side was just an old man half-buried in the ground and a young wife, they didn’t take them seriously, continuing to threaten the seller not to sell it.

Da Lang and Second Lang noticed their younger siblings were a bit scared and tacitly led all the children to the opposite side of the road, keeping a distance.

Sanlang and Si Niang, sucking their fingers, worriedly told Jinbao and Jinhua, “They’re going to get beaten.”

Jinhua was shocked, “What? Grandpa and Aunt III are going to get beaten?”

Si Niang was too lazy to explain, widening her eyes to watch the opposite side.

The seller was controlled by the few people and, in the cold weather, broke out in a sweat from anxiety.

The onlookers suddenly increased, gathering in front of the few people to watch the commotion. Some said the few people were bullying the young and weak, while others urged the seller to make a decision.

“Who are you selling to, say something!” someone in the crowd egged on.

Qin Yao, too impatient to waste time, directly asked the seller, “Who exactly are you selling to?”

With sixteen taels of silver right in front of him, the seller naturally wanted to sell to Qin Yao, but he was afraid to offend those few people, so he hesitated.

Seeing him so indecisive, Qin Yao called out to Old Liu, turned around, and was about to leave.

“Miss, don’t go! I’ll sell it to you!” the seller hurriedly stopped her, knowing if this female buyer left, the remaining people would definitely continue to haggle over the price.

If that were the case, offending people be it, what’s important is the money!

Qin Yao stopped, turned around, and confirmed again, “Sell it to me?”

The seller nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yao slightly lifted the corners of her mouth, signaled Old Liu to wait a moment, and stepped forward to give the money to the seller.

Unexpectedly, the few people couldn’t take it, reaching out to knock the silver out of her hands.

Qin Yao’s eyes turned cold, quickly clasping her silver in one hand, while the other hand moved like lightning. “Slap, slap, slap, slap,” four slaps in a row, sending the extended four hands flying away.

The four people stumbled backward, falling to the ground with a “thud.”

The few, shocked and angry, quickly got up and swung their fists at Qin Yao.

The seller, terrified by the turn of events, didn’t know what to do, only managing to yell for Qin Yao to run.

“Run? I haven’t even taken my ox yet, why should I run!”

Before finishing her sentence, several fists were already heading toward her face. Qin Yao leaned back, causing their fists to hit only air and pause.

In the one to two seconds they were about to pull back, Qin Yao suddenly straightened up, gathered their fists under her armpit with her elbows, and with a swift side move, pressed them all to the ground with tremendous force!

Just as a “crack” sound echoed, indicating something dislocated, the four were left lying on the ground, clutching their arms and wailing.

“Hiss~”

The surrounding onlookers gasped, amazed at how formidable this young wife was!

Watching the four rolling on the ground, Qin Yao sneered coldly, her vengeful spirit unleashed as she gave each of them an extra kick.

Landed right on their backs, leaving them gasping for air, unable to even cry out in pain.

“Whose ox is it?” She squatted in front of the four, asking seriously.

Frightened, the four wanted to distance themselves from her, their eyes filled with fear and entreaty.

Finally managing to squeeze out a breath, they stammered, “Yours, yours, it’s all yours…”

Qin Yao then extended her hand, amid the frightened and evasive gazes of the four, returning their dislocated arms.

It was a hard set, without any preparation, causing the few to roll on the ground wailing in pain again.

Done with that, Qin Yao dusted off her hands, approached the seller.

Seeing her approach, the seller took a big step back!

Qin Yao frowned, shook the silver in her hand, “Do you want the money or not?”

“Want, want it.”

The seller stood rooted, leaning half his body forward, extending his hand far enough to manage taking the silver from Qin Yao’s hand, piece by piece, with his fingers.

Money in hand, he turned and ran away.

Qin Yao: “…”

She shrugged, going forward to lead the ox-cart tethered to the post.

Perhaps intimidated by her powerful aura, the stubborn old ox was surprisingly obedient, going wherever it was led, east or west.

Qin Yao led the ox-cart to Old Liu, “Dad, put the iron plow on the cart.”

“…Alright, alright!” Old Liu hesitated for a moment before snapping back to reality, eagerly placing the newly bought iron plow and hoe on the ox-cart.

Qin Yao waved for Da Lang and the others to return, instructing them to follow the cart and let the three youngest sit in the cart, leading them along.

By this time, Jinhua finally realized that the people Sanlang and Si Niang mentioned getting beaten were not Grandpa and Aunt III, but the four bad guys lying on the ground.

And the four bad guys in Jinhua’s eyes, after watching Qin Yao and her party leave, quickly got up, running towards the government office.

Therefore, when gathering the three-man team buying groceries with Liu Ji, Qin Yao and the others, who had also picked up some odds and ends for the return, were just about to leave through the city gate when a stern and authoritative shout suddenly came from behind!

“You there, stop!”

Then followed by several whispered remarks, “Yes, yes, officer, it’s her, it’s the village woman driving the ox-cart…”

The officials guarding the city gate, hearing the order, immediately extended their long halberds, stopping Qin Yao and her group.

He was startled, He was startled, and Liu Zhong was also flustered, not knowing what was happening.

Old Liu frowned deeply, looking back to see it was the four people Qin Yao had beaten earlier, feeling indignant and having gone to report to the officials.

This time, bringing along four government officers to arrest Qin Yao.

The charge was disregarding the law, assaulting people in the street to the point of causing disability!

“What?” Liu Ji couldn’t believe it, pointing at the four lively people, “Where are they disabled?”
