Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

Chapter 516: Chapter 516, The Prodigal Son (20 updates)

Seeing this prodigal son, Hu the shopkeeper couldn’t help but get angry.

He coldly snorted, “Where have you come back from, reeking of alcohol, you worthless rascal!”

“…”

Hu Qingcheng was astonished.

Could his father have gone senile? Today, he was actually scolding him.

“Father, what’s the matter? Don’t be hasty in scolding your son. Just tell me, and let your son come up with a plan for you. Isn’t there a saying that ‘three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang?’ I may not have other talents, but my mind is still very agile!”

...

Hearing this, Hu the shopkeeper wanted to beat this prodigal son.

Suddenly he thought of something, “Do you know someone with the surname Ye, who is extremely handsome?”

“Father, are you talking about Ye Hang? Yes, I know him, but we’re not close!”

He wanted to have some connections with Ye Hang, but Ye Hang looked down on him.

In Ye Hang’s eyes, there was only silver.

“Go and invite him over, tell him I have a deal for him to work on!” Hu the shopkeeper commanded sternly.

At this moment, he was unaware that Ye Hang was the Night Pavilion Master.

And the Night Pavilion specialized in smuggling and assassinations.

“Then father, give me some silver. How can I invite someone to do a job without silver? You agree, right, father?” Hu Qingcheng immediately spoke out.

“…”

Filled with frustration, Hu the shopkeeper took out a silver note, telling Hu Qingcheng to quickly get the errand done.

Hu Qingcheng left the house jubilantly.

Planning to meet Ye Hang, he found out that a beauty had arrived in the county town.

“How beautiful?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Beautiful as a goddess, exuding an aura of divinity. If she were to glance my way, I’d die happy!”

“…”

Hu Qingcheng, seeing his friends all behaving like this, quickly put the task assigned by his father to the back of his mind, “Let’s go, take me to see!”

For this purpose, he even purposely met up with the son of the County Magistrate, Sun Yian.

The group made their grand way to the harbor and stopped in front of Xie Zhinuan’s boat.

Hu Qingcheng shouted into the boat, “Hey, is anyone there?”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan, who was studying a medical book, furrowed her brows slightly at his shout.

The two children upstairs were taking a nap.

“Aunt Chen, go and see who it is!”

“Yes!” Aunt Chen nodded and stepped out of the cabin, looking at the procession, which included about ten carriages and dozens of followers. The workers on the dock all bowed their heads, not daring to let out a loud breath or even glance at these people.

Clearly, they were afraid of this group.

“May I ask what business you have here?” Aunt Chen asked icily.

Uncle Ya had already stepped out and stood beside Aunt Chen.

Although he had a gentle nature, his martial arts skills were substantial. Dressed neatly and standing beside the formidable Aunt Chen, he was not oppressed; rather, they complemented each other, appearing like family.

“Our young master Sun wishes to meet the lady on this boat!” Hu Qingcheng declared loudly.

Capitalizing on Sun Yian’s name, after all, he was the son of the County Magistrate, and in Gaocheng County, everyone had to give him some face.

“We’re sorry, but our lady does not receive guests!” Aunt Chen spoke coldly.

Her gaze grew colder.

She did not show a shred of kindness towards these dissolute young men.

“What did you say?” Hu Qingcheng said coldly, adding, “Do you know who this Master Sun is? He is the son of the County Magistrate!”

The others also started to holler.

Sun Yian himself gave a proud snort.

Aunt Chen retorted coldly, “What is the son of the County Magistrate to me? Even if the County Magistrate himself were to come, whether our lady wants to see him depends on her mood. You are young, so I, an old woman, will not stoop to your level today. If you know what’s good for you, leave at once, but if you do not know your place…”
