The Fantastic Little Farmer

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Female Niu Lang

Hearing a woman’s voice, everyone turned to look. Zhang Yun recognized it immediately. It was Xiuxun’s voice!

He hadn’t seen Xiuxun since returning last night, and he had let his imagination run wild with all sorts of scenarios. He never expected her to step up and speak on his behalf now.

”Who are you? What are you talking about? Is it your place to interrupt my business with Zhang Yun?” Li Cuicui immediately shouted upon seeing the beautiful woman. She had wanted to ask if the woman was sleeping with Zhang Yun, but she held back, worried that she might actually say yes, which would put Li Cuicui in an awkward position.

Xiuxun didn’t yell back. She still looked a bit shy, but seeing Zhang Yun helplessly entangled, she gathered her courage and spoke up.

”This girl from Wa Village might not know, but everyone in our village knows exactly what’s going on! Zhang Yun’s girlfriend came to visit him just a few days ago. She looks like a movie star, carries herself with such elegance, has money, and is incredibly polite...”

At Xiuxun’s words, the women watching the commotion suddenly remembered. Enjoying the drama and never fearing things getting out of hand, they immediately joined in to clarify—or rather, fan the flames.

”That’s right! That girl was gorgeous. I don’t mean to be harsh, but Li Cuicui, you wouldn’t compare to her even if you had a hundred plastic surgeries.”

”Zhang Yun’s girlfriend is something else! She looks like a celebrity on TV, comes from a wealthy family in the city, and is completely devoted to Zhang Yun. The car she drives is worth millions!”

”Hehe, and they even shared a room. When a man is used to exquisite delicacies, you think he’d settle for cheap, greasy leftovers like you?”

Zhang Fu quickly chimed in, ”Mr. Li Jin, there’s really a misunderstanding here. My son already has a girlfriend...”

”You’re spouting nonsense!” Li Jin roared in anger. These people from Tianxin Village were too vicious, making his daughter sound like absolute trash.

Li Xiaowu, who had been held back from getting physical, couldn’t help but curse, ”So what if he has a girlfriend? Does that prove he didn’t do it? If he has a girlfriend and still bullied Cuicui, it just makes him even more shameless! We’re getting this straight today—he must marry Cuicui!”

”Zhang Yun! Put your hand on your heart and tell me, are these your clothes or not?!”

Li Cuicui held up the clothes she had snatched from Zhang Yun earlier, displaying them for everyone to see. The expressions of the onlookers became even more animated, and they started cracking sunflower seeds even faster.

Given Zhang Yun’s height and strength, if he hadn’t stripped them off himself, could Li Cuicui have forcibly taken off his clothes and pants? And if they weren’t doing the deed, why would he take off his clothes for no reason?

Fearing Zhang Yun might deny it, Li Cuicui added, ”We are at your house, and everyone is watching. Your dad definitely recognizes your clothes too. Do you admit it? Do you dare to admit it?”

Zhang Yun was so angry he laughed. ”Do I admit it? Do I dare to admit it? If I admit these are mine, are you going to immediately say that’s enough and I don’t need to explain further?”

He pointed at the clothes. ”After feeding the fish this morning, I went for a swim in the fish pond. I took off my clothes and left them on the bank. Then Li Cuicui suddenly popped out, saying she went there every day to buy fish from me. She asked if I wanted to go on a blind date and offered to introduce me to her younger sister. I rejected her. As a result, she claimed my clothes were dirty and wanted to wash them for me. She just grabbed my clothes and ran!”

”Tsk, tsk! Is that really a tactic? Stealing someone’s clothes?”

”I’ve seen this episode before! In the ancient legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nv, Niu Lang stole Zhi Nv’s feather garments, preventing her from flying back to heaven so he could force himself on her. And they even romanticized that into a love story, portraying the shameless and despicable Niu Lang as an honest man.”

”Hahaha, then wouldn’t Miss Cuicui be a female Niu Lang?”

”What do you mean ’female Niu Lang’? The man is called Niu Lang, so the woman is obviously a Niu Niang!”

Mocked by the crowd, Li Cuicui’s face flushed crimson. She retorted, ”So what I said is fake, and what you said is true? Who can testify to that?”

”Hmph! Do you really think there are no witnesses? After you ran off with my clothes, you came back shortly after, didn’t you? Did you see me walking back naked?” Zhang Yun sneered. ”At that time, Zhang Long, Jin Lu, Guang, and Bao Sheng from our village were also inside the wooden cabin. I was trying to save you some face, but you insist on tearing it all down. Do you want me to call them over to confront you?”

”We’re in your village, so you can spin it however you want! Won’t the people you find just side with you?” Li Jin said irritably.

”Then what the hell are you still arguing about! You shameless family, get the hell out of here! I’ll sue you for every penny you’ve got!”

While Li Cuicui stood to the side holding the clothes, Zhang Yun strode forward. He grabbed Li Jin and Li Xiaowu, one with each hand, and dragged the father and son toward the exit.

”Assault! Zhang Yun is hitting us!” Li Jin shrieked.

Li Xiaowu started kicking and punching at Zhang Yun.

”Let go of my dad! Let go of Xiaowu!” Li Cuicui screamed from behind. ”We’ll leave! I just don’t need you to take responsibility anymore!”

Zhang Yun walked to the courtyard gate and hurled the two men far out. Then, he turned back, grabbed Li Cuicui by the arm, and tossed her out as well! The three of them immediately started wailing and howling outside the gate.

”I’m counting to three. If you don’t get lost, I’ll throw you all into the septic tank!”

Zhang Yun truly felt a bit helpless. They weren’t universally despised scumbags like Li Bing. If he actually beat them severely, it would cause a lot of bad publicity. But with them shamelessly playing the victim to extort him, how was he supposed to prove his innocence? Was he supposed to release a load on the spot and use the volume to prove he hadn’t touched her this morning?

Most normal people would assume a girl wouldn’t joke about such things, making it even harder for a guy like him to prove his innocence. Now that the commotion had spilled outside, even more people gathered to watch the drama.

”Calm down. Think of a solution, but don’t hit them. If you resort to violence, you’ll lose the high ground even if you’re in the right...” Xiuxun had followed him and quietly reminded Zhang Yun from behind.

Zhang Yun didn’t hit anyone. Instead, he made a phone call to Gu Ming’er.

Having been humiliated last time, Gu Ming’er clearly didn’t want to talk to him, but she also didn’t dare offend him. She waited until Zhang Yun was getting impatient before answering the call.

”Lawyer Gu, I have some business for you. Some people are causing a scene at my house right now. She insists that I took advantage of her and is demanding that I marry her...”

Gu Ming’er’s first instinct was to decline Zhang Yun’s case. However, upon hearing the rest of his words, she couldn’t help but feel curious about what kind of bizarre person could infuriate Zhang Yun to this extent and leave him feeling so helpless. Perhaps she could learn a thing or two from them! But after listening to a rough summary of the events, she felt exasperated. It turned out they just had incredibly thick skin, which would be rather difficult to emulate.

”Let me speak to them!”

Through the video call, Gu Ming’er spoke sternly to the wailing individuals. ”I am Zhang Yun’s lawyer, so I believe in him. However, we hold strict moral principles. If he truly did something to you, it would be absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, I will call the police for you right now and prepare a legal notice. Ming Tian... No! I’ll bring the legal notice over immediately. The police will also be arriving shortly. Don’t go anywhere. We will see you in a bit!”

Gu Ming’er’s approach was impeccably cautious. She first stated her belief in Zhang Yun, then emphasized her moral principles. That way, if the situation flipped and it turned out Zhang Yun had actually violated someone, she could immediately change her stance.

As soon as she hung up the video call, Li Jin and the other two exchanged glances, realizing something was wrong. This wasn’t just going to end with Zhang Yun losing face—it might end up getting them thrown in jail!

Without missing a beat, Li Jin and Li Xiaowu hurriedly supported Li Cuicui and made a run for it!
