Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 467 Wu Qingfeng Returns

County Magistrate Li withdrew his gaze, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Huo Shiyi, and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. I would be grateful if Brother Shiyi could intercede with Master Lin on my behalf."

Huo Shiyi quickly stepped aside to avoid Magistrate Li's bow, and only turned around after Li lowered his hand. "Lord Li, you're too kind. But as you know, our boss is always very polite, unless..."

He glanced at the clay figure on the carriage and said, "I've encountered someone who doesn't know any manners."

Miss Cai opened her eyes wide, about to lash out, but Magistrate Li spoke first, "Miss Cai is not an unreasonable person. Eleventh Brother, please speak to the head of the household. I will mediate here."

Although Magistrate Li didn't visit the village as frequently as Lord Wu, he did come when the Gu family moved, so we couldn't refuse that courtesy.

Huo Shiyi nodded in agreement and pushed through the crowd to find Lin Chang'er.

Meanwhile, Magistrate Li bowed to Miss Cai, saying, "Miss Cai, it's all a misunderstanding. Please give the letter to her, and this matter should be over..."

“You…” Miss Cai was furious. The past? What do you mean by the past?

She'd even had someone plaster her with mud, it was an utter disgrace! She screamed, "This can't be let go! This can't be let go! You, surnamed Li, don't even think about trying to smooth things over! Unless that shrew kneels down and begs me to admit her mistake, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Lin Chang'er followed Huo Shiyi over and immediately heard Miss Cai going crazy.

She cracked sunflower seeds, looking completely indifferent. "I'll say it again: you give me the letter, you go back to the county office, and I'll go supervise the roadbed construction. If you continue to cause trouble, then we'll just have to wait it out!"

I really don't know how Wu Qingfeng could have such a relative.

Thinking of Wu Qingfeng, Lin Chang'er felt a little melancholy. She wondered how he was doing, whether her cousin had a good relationship with him, and whether he would make things difficult for her later.

But then I thought, I should just bear with the breast hyperplasia and give up on the ovarian cyst.

She couldn't possibly tolerate it, and she couldn't tolerate it even if Wu Qingfeng were here.

So there's nothing to worry about.

Anyway, he's not here, so we can't blame him later.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.

Lin Chang'er looked up suddenly and saw the bright sun overhead, which calmed her down.

In broad daylight, even bandits wouldn't dare to be this bold; otherwise, the current situation would truly be...

"Hey, it looks like Uncle Wu is back!" Little Goldfish is young and cute, and all the men in the village feel sorry for him. Every time after a fight, the uncles and elders would take the initiative to hug him, and today was no exception.

Standing high, one can see far; and who else could be leading the charge but Wu Qingfeng?

Before long, Wu Qingfeng and his entourage arrived in a grand procession.

The two sides met, initially surprised, then excitedly exchanging greetings.

Huo Shiyi, in particular, kept pestering Wu Qingfeng to ask about the process of this bandit suppression. After hearing Wu Qingfeng recount the hardships and dangers and the battle achievements, Huo Shiyi regretted even more that he hadn't been chosen to go and experience the bandits.

Because the group included many men from Linshui Village, fellow villagers, and a group of children, the scene was incredibly lively.

They were so focused on the heroes returning from exterminating the bandits that they completely forgot about Miss Cai, her maid, and the guards in the carriage.

Lin Chang'er was always sensible, and she didn't rush forward when they were outside. However, Wu Qingfeng found her in the crowd, exchanged a smile with her from afar, and was very happy.

However, it was a bit strange that so many people were here to greet him when he hadn't told them he was coming back today.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a number of unfamiliar faces holding tools—were they for repairing roadbeds?

But Xiao Shiyi and his group don't seem to be here to repair the roadbed, and shouldn't these children be at school?

Just then, a figure covered in mud burst through the crowd and lunged at him...
