The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 403: A New Suggestion

Daniu had gone home and changed his clothes. When he reached Lu Erbai’s house with an umbrella, Village Chief Chen arrived with Hu Li and the others.

Village Chief Chen even raised his hand to greet him. His face was abnormally excited. “Lu kid, your fourth uncle, and the others a_re all at home, right?

Quick, tell them that the official is here. There’s good news.”

Daniu smiled. “Those at home, please come in.”

The people in the courtyard had already heard the commotion and came out to welcome them.

Village Chief Chen was stunned when he saw this scene. Hu Li immediately smiled and said, “It’s quite lively.”

Everyone quickly moved to the side and let Hu Li and the others enter.

Lu Sixing wiped her hands, feeling a little uneasy. Fortunately, with Shu Yu around, she did not need to entertain the officials herself. Shu Yu greeted Hu Li. “Brother Hu, I didn’t expect you to come.”

“I came to bring you good news. This is a happy occasion, so of course I have to join in the fun. Where’s Yuan Shanchuan?”

“Officer, I’m here.” Yuan Shanchuan didn’t let anyone help him. He walked out of the house by holding onto the wall.

Hu Li saw that his face was a little pale, and he felt that it was even worse than two days ago. He could not help but be a little surprised.

However, he quickly remembered what Village Chief Chen had told them on the way. He must have been agitated by the matter of the severing of the marriage.

The Yuan family was short- sighted. However, he had already noticed this when the Yuan family was locked up.

This was good too. It was not necessarily a bad thing for Yuan Shanchuan to get rid of his family members.

Hu Li didn’t ask much. The two of them took off their straw raincoats and sat on the stool at the side. They didn’t care about the villagers who were peeping their heads out of the hall.

He first asked about Yuan Shanchuan’s health. The latter leaned back in his chair and smiled. “I’m a little better. I wasn’t sleeping well before, but after vomiting blood yesterday, I slept until dawn. I just didn’t have much strength now, and my limbs were weak. 1 would be fine in a few days.”

“That’s good.”

As they spoke, Lu Sixing and Madam Liang came out with a few bowls of ginger tea and brought them over to the two officers and Village Chief Chen.

As for the Yuan family members who were peeking out from behind, she pretended not to see them.

In this weather, one’s body was wet. Drinking a bowl of ginger tea made one feel much better.

Hu Li smiled and thanked him. He then exchanged a few words with Yuan Shanchuan before saying, “The last time, Our Excellency asked you what reward you wanted, but you fainted. So, this matter was temporarily put on hold. Now that the murderer of the Zhao family’s murder case has been found, and it was because of the clues you provided, this reward has to be confirmed no matter what. Our lord has always been fair in rewards and punishments.”

Yuan Shanchuan smiled embarrassedly. The last time Lord asked him if he wanted silver, he had subconsciously refused.

But now, his family’s situation was dire. Not only did he lose his house, but he also owed Yu ten taels of silver. His family needed to spend money everywhere, so he needed this reward.

He squeezed his hands slightly and took a deep breath before asking, “l would like to ask, what is your reward?” Or rather, how much silver?

Hu Li smiled and said, “It’s like this. Our lord has a new proposal and wants to ask for your opinion. If you think it’s feasible, then let’s do it according to this.

How about it?”

New suggestion?

Yuan Shanchuan was surprised.. “What is it?”
