The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  Tang Hao was shocked. Meanwhile, Han Yutong chuckled happily and jogged back into her office.

  “She’s getting more and more unruly,” Tang Hao grumbled, “It’s not good if someone else sees that!”

  After that, he seemed to have remembered something and quickly caught up to her. “Don’t take it now. When you’ve gone off work, remove all your clothes and take the pill in the bathtub.”

  “Huh?” Han Yutong was confused. “Why do I need to take off my clothes?”

  “Your body will experience some changes after you take the pill, and you’ll dirty your clothes,” Tang Hao explained, “Remember that?”

  “Oh!” Han Yutong nodded, though she did not seem to fully understand.

  Tang Hao returned to his office to take care of some official business.

  It was soon eleven o’clock.

  Tang Hao sat there and thought for a while, then picked up his phone and gave Ma Fangfang a call.

  Firstly, he wanted to give her a Jade Bone Pill. Secondly, he also wanted to ask her about her grandfather’s situation.

  It had been seven months since Tang Hao gave her grandfather the medical pill. Tang Hao estimated that the effects would wear off in a month at most.

  ‘Grandpa Shunde must be having health problems by now!’

  The call was picked up a while later.

  “I’m so sorry! I was busy just now and I didn’t see…” Ma Fangfang said apologetically. Her voice was as sweet as usual.

  “Tang Hao…” She called her name, then quickly changed her greeting, “No, I should call you Chairman Tang!”

  She chuckled after that.

  Tang Hao also laughed. “You don’t have to be that polite!”

  “I’ll have to. Your status… is different now,” Ma Fangfang joked.

  She continued, “Right, is there anything? It’s not like you usually call me!”

  She sounded resentful as she spoke the last sentence.

  “I’d like to ask how your grandfather has been. If you’re free later, we can have lunch together,” Tang Hao said.

  Ma Fangfang was silent.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “Grandpa’s health has deteriorated recently. He’s almost at the mortal limit you mentioned,” Ma Fangfang said with some difficulty.

  “Oh, I see…” Tang Hao said.

  Ma Fangfang smiled. “Our family is very grateful for what you have done. Grandpa has been very happy in the past few months.”

  “That’s good to know!” Tang Hao said.

  “Ah, right, there’s something that I want to tell you. I hope it won’t trouble you too much,” Ma Fangfang said after being silent for a while.

  “Oh, what is it?” Tang Hao said, surprised.

  “It’s my uncles and aunts again. They’re causing trouble again. I’ll tell you the details over lunch,” Ma Fangfang said.

  “Alright!” Tang Hao replied.

  Chapter 519 - Lawlessness

  Tang Hao met Ma Fangfang in a restaurant downtown.

  She was dressed in office wear, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She looked smart and diligent.

  She wore light makeup on her face, which highlighted her sparkling eyes and pure-white teeth. Her beauty was unique like no other.

  Tang Hao was taken aback when he saw her.

  He thought that she had become more beautiful than ever, perhaps about the same as Liu Bingyao. Her figure had matured since they last met.

  The noisy restaurant fell silent when she walked in.

  Countless pairs of eyes were focused on her figure.

  The men held their breaths for a brief moment, then they collectively gasped.

  She stood at the entrance and turned her head from side to side.

  She soon found Tang Hao. She smiled, walked toward him, flicked her hair, and sat down in front of him.

  “What’s wrong?” She blushed slightly when she noticed that Tang Hao was staring at her.

  “You seem to be different every time I see you,” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  Her face blushed even more, though she secretly felt happy. “I didn’t know how to dress up back then. Of course I look different now.”

  “I’ve heard from Manager Lin that you’re doing very well,” Tang Hao said.

  She lifted her chin and wrinkled her nose. “Of course. I’ve been working very hard…”

  The waiter came to their table with the menu.

  The two people ordered lunch and started chatting.

  Her expression became indignant when she talked about her uncle and aunt. “Those ingrates have gone overboard. Ever since they were driven away by Grandpa last time, they haven’t given up on wanting a portion of the compensation money.

  “My First Aunt is leading the attack on Grandpa. She knows an official in the municipal office, and she’s the one who stalled the payment of the compensation money.

  “Every other family in the area has gotten paid except Grandpa. The houses are scheduled to be demolished soon, too.

  “She never stops trying to match my mother with men with dubious backgrounds. Any discerning person can see through her plans.

  “Back then, she was the one who introduced that bastard Huang Haijiang to my mom and made us suffer. She’s doing it again.”

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows when he heard that.

  ‘Fangfang’s first aunt is indeed a bastard. She behaves the same as Huang Haijiang. No wonder they’re siblings.

  ‘It’s bad luck to have a relative like her.’

  “I’ll go with you after lunch then!” Tang Hao said, “I owe a debt of gratitude to your grandfather. Without him, I wouldn’t have started the Divine Liquor Company.”

  “No, we’re the one who owes you a debt,” Ma Fangfang said with a smile.

  After lunch, Tang Hao and Ma Fangfang went to Cai Village by car.

  They turned right at the big signboard and entered the village.

  They arrived at a large residence after driving for a short distance. That was Grandpa Shunde’s house.

  The residence covered a large area, but the house inside was old and run-down. It had existed for decades.

  Several cars were parked outside.

  Ma Fangfang’s expression changed drastically. “That’s my first uncle’s car. They’re here again.”

  Tang Hao parked the car in front of the courtyard. Once he got out of the car, he could hear someone yelling inside.

  “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

  That voice belonged to none other than Ma Fangfang’s mother.

  He could hear a perverted laugh after that.

  “Why are you so shy? You’re already an adult, and you don’t know how to go with the flow?”

  “You’re… shameless!”

  Cai Yourong yelled. After that, there was the crisp sound of a slap.

  “F*ck your mother! How dare you hit me, you filthy whore?” The man roared angrily. “Don’t pretend as though you’re virtuous, you filthy whore. I’ve heard that every man in the village had a go with you.”

  After that was another crisp slap.

  A shrill yelp could be heard, followed by the sounds of a table flipping over and plates falling on the floor.

  “You filthy whore, do you even know my status? You’re lucky that I’m interested in you,” the man said coldly.

  Tang Hao’s expression sank when he heard that.

  Even Ma Fangfang could hear what was going on inside. “Mom!” She shouted frantically and ran into the house.

  She saw several people there. Those were Huang Lili and her other relatives.

  They were surprised when they saw Ma Fangfang.

  Huang Lili spread out her arms and blocked Ma Fangfang.

  “Hey, what do you want to do? Don’t go in! You’ll ruin the plan!”

  “Go away!”

  Ma Fangfang yelled, shoved her aside, and rushed in.

  At the same time, an angry roar could be heard from inside the house.

 
“You bastard, how dare you lay a finger on my daughter? I’ll kill you!”

  That was none other than Grandpa Shunde.

  Huang Lili and the others panicked when they heard that.

  “Dammit, how did the old geezer wake up?” Huang Lili cursed under her breath.

  “How dare you hit me, you old bastard? Don’t think I don’t dare to hit you, dammit!”

  “I’ll kill you!”

  The situation in the house was utter chaos.

  A figure ran out of the house. He was a pot-bellied and bespectacled man in his fifties.

  Another figure rushed out closely behind him. That was Grandpa Shunde, brandishing his walking stick dangerously.

  “You’re still at it, you old geezer? Stop it now!” The man shouted angrily.

  Grandpa Shunde did not stop. He continued to wave his walking stick at the man.

  Huang Lili and the others panicked when they saw the scene.

  “You can’t hit that person, Dad!”

  “Stop, Pa! You’ll get into trouble if you hit him!”

  They quickly rushed forward to hold back Grandpa Shunde.

  “You… all of you are bastards. You are less than human… don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to pull off.”

  Grandpa Shunde straightened his eyebrows and said sternly.

  “Two of you… what excellent elder siblings you are! You’re even pawning your sister for your own benefit. All of you are animals. I’ll beat up all of you as well.”

  Grandpa Shunde waved his walking stick and yelled sternly.

  The people scattered in all directions.

  “Dad, we’re doing this for Yourong’s good! He’s a superintendent in town, and his brother is a commissioner in the district office. They’re very well off. Yourong can live happily if she marries him.”

  Cai Youliang and Cai Youtao shouted frantically.

  “That’s right! We’re all considerate for Yourong. It’s not easy for her to marry a third husband. She’s lucky that Superintendent He has his eye for her,” Huang Lili also shrieked.

  Chapter 520 - Arrest Them All

  “Good luck?”

  Cai Shunde straightened his brows. His eyes were about to spew fire.

  “What good luck? It’s more like bad luck! All those government officials are bastards. It must all be your idea, right, you scheming woman? I regret the day you became my daughter-in-law.

  “Looks like I didn’t beat you enough last time. Never mind, I’ll make up for it today!”

  Grandpa Shunde raised his walking stick, rushed toward Huang Lili, and beat her without mercy.

  “How dare you hit me, you old geezer?” Huang Lili shrieked. She was sprawled on the floor and struggling.

  “Not only do I want to beat you, but I also want to beat you to death too!” Grandpa Shunde roared angrily.

  “Stop beating her, Dad!” Cai Youliang and the others panicked as they witnessed this scene, but they did not dare to step closer.

  They were quite frustrated with how the situation turned out.

  They thought that with Grandpa Shunde’s failing health, it would be hard for him to wake up once he took a nap. If the man had succeeded, then things would be a lot easier.

  Yourong was afraid of being shamed. Once the man got his way with her, she would be forced to marry him.

  When that happened, not only will they be related to Superintendent He, but they could also carry out their original plan of dividing the three million yuan among themselves.

  Each of their families could receive more than a million yuan.

  That would have saved them many years of hard work!

  Meanwhile, Superintendent He got to his feet.

  He was in a pathetic state. He had received many hits from the walking stick. When he tried to run away from Grandpa Shunde, he accidentally tripped and fell. His elbows and face were grazed, and he got a cut on his forehead.

  He rubbed his forehead and saw some bloodstains on his fingers, which made him furious.

  ‘Dammit, I’m beaten up by an old man who’s about to die!’

  “Are you OK, Superintendent He?”

  Cai Youliang and Cai Youtao rushed up to help him.

  “Go away! Go away, all of you!” Superintendent He roared.

  He glared at Grandpa Shunde. “You’ve got balls, old man! We’ll see what happens next! You’re going to die anyway, but what about your daughter? I’ll make sure that she’s dead!

  “Don’t even dream of getting the compensation money, and don’t think that she’ll get to keep her job either. I’d like to see how she can survive after this!

  “How dare you lay a finger on me, you country bumpkin? You’re only asking for death!”

  “You…” the old man was furious.

  “So what about me? Let me tell you, your daughter is the one who seduced me first. I have many witnesses. Don’t think that you can sue me. There’s no use.

  “Anyway, even if I did something to her, what could you possibly do to me? None of you can possibly touch me!”

  “You bastard!’ Ma Fangfang yelled angrily when she heard that.

  Superintendent He was surprised. He turned around and was dumbfounded when he saw Ma Fangfang.

  He swallowed a mouthful of spit. “Who… who is she?”

  “That’s… Yourong’s daughter. Her name is Fangfang. I’ve told you about her before,” Cai Youliang said.

  “F*ck! Why didn’t you introduce her to me earlier? She’s so beautiful. You’ll still get what you want if I marry the daughter anyway!” As he stared at Ma Fangfang, he looked more and more like a pervert.

  “In your dreams!” Ma Fangfang yelled, then ran into the house.

  In the house, Cai Yourong was sitting on the floor, wearing a haggard expression on her face.

  “Are you OK, Mom?” Ma Fangfang helped her mother stand up and led her to a stool.

  “I’m fine!” Cai Yourong squeezed a smile on her face.

  “But…”

  Ma Fangfang was trembling in anger when she saw the bright red mark on her mother’s face.

  “I’m really fine. Right, why are you here, Fangfang?” Cai Yourong said softly.

  “I came here with… Tang Hao. We wanted to visit Grandpa, but…” Ma Fangfang said.

  “Oh, he’s here too!” Cai Yourong flashed a mischievous smile at her daughter.

  “What do you mean, Mom?” Ma Fangfang blushed.

  Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Superintendent He said, “You old geezer, I didn’t expect that you’re so lucky to have a pretty granddaughter.

  “Alright! If you marry her to me, then it’ll all be water under the bridge. We’ll be family from then on. Let me tell you, it’ll be beneficial to your family.

  “If you don’t agree to it though, hah! You’ll be in big trouble.”

  His voice carried the hint of a threat.

  Many villagers were gathered outside. They were talking among themselves while pointing at the house.

  “What’s going on this time?”

  “Who knows? It must be Yourong again!”

  Huang Lili struggled to get on her feet and ran to the gate. “It’s all because of that woman! She seduced Superintendent He. Grandpa Shunde misunderstood the situation and beat up Superintendent He.

  “Just think about it. Who is Superintendent He, and why would he be interested in that woman? She’s already jinxed both of her husbands. Who would have his eye on her?”

  As she shrieked, she looked at Grandpa Shunde with a resentful gaze.

  “You evil woman!” Grandpa Shunde was livid.

  Everyone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

  “So it’s like that! No wonder. Who would want to marry a jinx anyway?”

  “And a superintendent, too! Oh, he’s a VIP! No wonder the woman wants to seduce him. How shameless!”

  “Ha, she doesn’t have any shame at all!”

  A group of middle-aged women gossiped.

  “My name is He Zuo
hai, and you can go find out for yourself who I am and who my brother is. He’s one of the most important people in Westridge. It’s too easy to deal with all you country bumpkins.”

  Superintendent He yelled while jumping up and down.

  Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.

  Superintendent He was shocked. He turned around and saw a grinning face.

  “Who are you?” Superintendent He was baffled. “What do you want?”

  “I’d like to ask you, who is your brother, and what sort of a commissioner is he?” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  Superintendent He started boasting, “My brother is the commissioner of the Westridge Excise Office. His rank is very high. Understand?”

  “Oh!” Tang Hao nodded.

  “Are you scared yet?” Superintendent He mocked, “Country bumpkins like you…”

  Before he could finish the sentence, Tang Hao lifted his legs and aimed a kick between his legs.

  “Howl…!”

  A cry of agony!

  Superintendent He clutched his crotch. His eyes were bulging, and his face was contorted.

  “How… how dare you kick me?”

  Tang Hao said nothing. He lifted his foot again and kicked.

  One could faintly hear the sound of something cracking.

  Superintendent He fell on the ground as he clutched between his legs. His face was the dark red color of a pig liver, and he was already foaming at his mouth. “You… bas… tard… you’re dead…”

  Everyone around fell silent.

  Huang Lili and the villagers at the entrance were dumbstruck.

  ‘How did the kid dare to kick Superintendent He so hard that he’s foaming at the mouth?’

  “Who’s this kid?”

  “I don’t know! He seemed to have come with Fangfang. Is he her boyfriend?”

  “He must be crazy to attack Superintendent He! Oh no, he’s in big trouble!”

  “Are you OK, Superintendent He?” Huang Lili and the others quickly rushed forward and surrounded the man.
