Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 198: Sitting up in shock while dying of illness

Seeing so many people stopping to watch, Old Lady Liu thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so she took out a tael of silver from her bosom and handed it to the short and fat man.

He smiled and said, "We were wrong in this matter. We should pay the money."

The short and fat man weighed the silver in his hand and nodded, "Okay, but we have to take these things back. You can come back in a few days to get them."

Pointed to the wooden barrel on the ground.

Several people behind him came up and started to take the wooden barrels, moving very quickly.

The three old ladies quickly grabbed their arms and said, "Hey, you took our money, why are you still taking our things? How does this make sense?"

The short and fat man chuckled, "My rules are my rules. I'll take it if I say so. Why do I need so many reasons?"

"No, didn't you just take our money? Why are you still taking our things? If you take our things, how are we going to sell tea eggs tomorrow?"

At first, Old Lady Liu thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, but now she has to argue with these people.

Today I took her money and also the bucket of tea eggs they had in it.

It’s not a matter of there being too few buckets; there are plenty of them at home.

But the problem now is that the managers have taken away the buckets of tea eggs, which means they won’t be able to sell tea eggs in the next few days.

"I've collected your buckets. You just wait to come and get them in a few days and then sell the tea eggs." The short and fat man expressed what Old Lady Liu was thinking.

What kind of talk is this? They took her money but didn't let her sell tea eggs. How does this make sense?

"Hmph, I'd like to ask the county magistrate what these rules are." Old Mrs. Liu was too lazy to argue with them. She thought it would be easier to just go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate.

After thinking it through, Old Lady Liu took Old Lady Ye and Old Lady Shen away.

She wanted to ask why they kept their things after taking the money!

If the county magistrate doesn't explain the reason, Old Lady Liu will scold him to death...

The short and fat man was really panicked when he saw the three old ladies coming. He quickly ran to them and stopped the three old ladies. His tough attitude just now turned into a smile.

"Haha, let's talk it out nicely. Our county magistrate is very busy and doesn't have the time to deal with these trivial matters. Please don't make things difficult for us. We are also doing things according to the rules."

Old Lady Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression filled with suspicion. "Are you hiding something from your county magistrate?"

Otherwise, why would this person suddenly change his attitude? This discovery made Old Lady Liu seriously suspect that there was something wrong with the person in front of her.

"No, no, we just don't want to bother the county magistrate with these trivial matters."

The short and fat man waved his hands quickly, sweat breaking out on his back. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and glanced casually at the owner of the stall next door.

"Auntie, they are taking your things just according to the rules and as a formality. The bucket will be returned to you. Please don't make it difficult for them." The owner of the stall next door understood what the short and fat man meant and hurried out to persuade him.

"Since you all say so, we have to talk to the county magistrate about this matter. How can you fine people for food without informing them in advance? People who set up stalls want to make money, right? How can you destroy people's livelihoods like this?"

After hearing what they said, Old Lady Liu became even more determined to go to the county magistrate and talk to him.

In their hometown in the north, they didn't have to register with the management office to set up street stalls.

Generally people set up stalls and sell things wherever there is a good location. Why do we have to register with the management office here?

Not only do they not register, they also fine people and take their things away.

"Brother, why don't you return these buckets to them? It won't be good if this matter is reported to the county magistrate, right?" After hearing that Old Lady Liu was more determined to go to the county government office, the owner of the stall next door pleaded with the short and fat man.

"Haha, Auntie, let's just pretend we haven't been here today. You can sell tea eggs as usual."

As the short and fat man spoke, he quickly asked someone to put the bucket of tea eggs that Old Lady Liu had put back to its original place.

........

On the other side, Yaoyao and Guoan, who had already had a good sleep, woke up, had breakfast, and said they wanted to go to the street to look for Old Lady Liu.

Seeing that the sun was almost setting, Yuan Laoer pulled the carriage out and took Yaoyao and Guoan to find Old Lady Liu and the others.

When we arrived at the place where Old Lady Liu and her friends were selling tea eggs, we found that there were many people surrounding the stall.

There were a few men standing in front of the three old ladies, and no one knew what they were talking about.

But from Mrs. Liu's expression, it could be seen that they were not happy.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Laoer squeezed in from the crowd, holding Yaoyao and Guoan in each hand.

When Old Lady Liu saw Old Man Yuan coming, she told him what had just happened.

Yuan Lao Er looked confused, "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't heard of this."

"They..." Old Lady Liu pointed behind her and saw the short and fat man sneaking away with his men.

There’s nothing else I don’t understand.

They were blackmailed!

He rushed forward with steady and swift steps.

Old Mrs. Ye and Old Mrs. Shen also rushed over.

Just one for each person.

Just press on them and scratch them.

After a while, the three people's faces were scratched by Old Lady Liu, Old Lady Ye, and Old Lady Shen.

There was blood all over his face.

Old Lady Liu grabbed the short and fat boy's hair and pulled it with all her might.

"So you guys are liars. I'm going to beat you to death."

The onlookers were afraid that someone would be killed in the street, so they ran to the county government to report it.

When the county magistrate and his men came over, they saw...

three people.

Lying on the ground...

His face was covered in blood and he was wailing.

When these three people saw the county magistrate, they crawled towards him desperately as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

The three old ladies took a step forward and walked in front of the county magistrate.

"County Magistrate, we three old ladies are about to be bullied to death!"

"They demanded money from us as soon as they arrived. We gave them money but they still refused to give up and even tried to steal our food supplies. This is pushing us into a dead end."

The county magistrate's mouth twitched. Don't think he had never been to Qingshui Tower.

How could they possibly end up in such a desperate situation?

But this problem is particularly serious.

The three people on the ground have been using the name of the office to collect money from the people for who knows how long.

After hearing what the three old ladies said, the three dying people sat up in shock and looked at Old Lady Liu with wide eyes.

There was an expression of disbelief.

Could you please take a look at our appearance first?
