Chapter 44: 044 Young people, don’t talk big (first update)

Nata had lived in frustration for years and had never felt as exhilarated and genuinely delighted as he did today.

He had even experienced the cruel battlefield, how could he not defeat those two thugs as skinny as monkeys? He had tolerated indignities until today just for his family’s livelihood.

The two thugs had thought Nata was crippled, but to their surprise, he was incredibly fierce when he fought back; how would they dare to provoke him again in the future?

The pair begged, “Spare our lives, grandfather! Spare our lives! We won’t dare anymore, we swear…”

Nata then gave them each a fierce, solid punch in the face, sending them sprawling to the ground, seeing stars.

Standing up, Nata walked over to Li Xianyun, bowed with a bent arm, and said, “Thank you, young master.”

Standing nearby was Nata’s wife, who also said, “Thank you, young master.”

“It’s nothing,” Li Xianyun replied.

She paused, then turned to Bater and instructed, “Bater, take these two to the Official Government and let them deal with them.”

Li Xianyun knew that the two thugs’ brazenness stemmed from having powerful backers. To eliminate future threats and prevent them from seeking revenge against Nata’s family, she had to rely on the power of the government.

Moreover, she was almost certain that the force behind these thugs was the government itself. How could the government be unaware of such flagrant acts of vandalism, theft, and robbery? The only possibility was that they had connections within the government.

Therefore, the matter must be brought into the open to be thoroughly resolved.

Bater responded, “Understood.”

A middle-aged man glanced at Li Xianyun and cautioned, “Those two have relatives who are officials; delivering them to the government office will be pointless.”

As Li Xianyun had anticipated.

Nata looked at Li Xianyun and said, “Everyone should be responsible for their own actions; I will go to the government office right now.”

Li Xianyun regarded Nata, who was indeed honest and upright, and moreover, he had a strong sense of justice; he was someone worth relying on.

“Don’t act rashly. I will handle this,” Li Xianyun said.

Walking over to Bater, she whispered, “If the County Government Office officials are stubbornly unjust and fail to uphold fairness, you can show them your waist token.”

All palace guards have tokens, which are uniformly made, and these officials, being savvy and well-informed, are well-acquainted with the palace tokens.

This act should be enough to deter the local officials, as they will know someone from the palace is involved. To keep their Official Caps, they will think twice before acting unfairly.

Furthermore, even after showing the token, Li Xianyun’s identity would not be revealed; there are many guards in the palace, and they wouldn’t know which one she was. She would not break her promise to Yelu Yan.

Bater said, “Understood.”

Nata looked at Li Xianyun and stated, “Young master, if the government seeks to hold someone accountable, each should face the consequences of their actions. I cannot involve you all; let me accompany you.”

“Very well,” Li Xianyun replied, “but you will not be in trouble. Your good fortune is still to come; trust me.”

Nata said with deep emotion, “Thank you, young master.”

With that, he and Bater dragged the two thugs to the government office.

Li Xianyun said to Nata’s wife, “Gather your things; we will take you home.”

Nata’s wife hastily waved her hands, “You’ve done us a great favor today; how could I impose on you to take me home?”

“No need for that,” Li Xianyun said. “I happen to have something to discuss with you as well.”

Nata’s wife, a straightforward person, said, “Young master, whatever your instructions are, just say the word, and I will follow.”

Li Xianyun smiled faintly at her, then turned to Youlan and Zhuo Ma, “Help her pack up.”

Youlan and Zhuo Ma said, “Yes.”

Nata’s wife, feeling embarrassed, hastily said, “No need, no need, this is too dirty, dirtying the young masters’ hands wouldn’t be good.”

Zhuo Ma said, “If it gets dirty we can just wash it, no worries.”

“If three people work together, it’ll be quick; if you do it alone, who knows when you’ll finish,” Youlan said.

Seeing their insistent kindness, Nata’s wife stopped resisting.

Li Xianyun approached the village chief’s stall, where the village chief was the elderly man named Habu who had just sold Li Xianyun cantaloupes.

Habu, giving Li Xianyun a thumbs up, said with great admiration, “Young man, stepping in to help when seeing injustice, that’s truly commendable. But are you sure this is alright? What if you get involved in a lawsuit?”

Li Xianyun laughed, “Old uncle, don’t worry. I won’t get involved in a lawsuit this time; Nata won’t face imprisonment either, and he will even receive a considerable compensation.”

Habu, with eyes wide open in astonishment, said incredulously, “Young man, don’t boast without measure.”

They say a calf is not afraid of tigers, which really seems to be the case.

When he was young, he too had grand ambitions and thought that through his own efforts he could create the life his family wanted.

But only after growing up did he realize that from their birth, society had already assigned them their social status.

He could only follow in his forefathers’ footsteps and become a bona fide herdsman, dependent on the whims of nature for his sustenance.

Li Xianyun smiled, “You’ll see the outcome in a bit. Old uncle, where is your village?”

“Our village is about six li from here, young man, do you want to visit our village?” asked Habu.

“Yes,” Li Xianyun said, “I want to see the fruits grown in your village.”

Thinking back on what Li Xianyun had said earlier, Habu thought she was merely boasting or joking, but it turned out she was serious.

“Young man, let’s go now then. I’ll take you there,” Habu said cheerfully, eager to take her for a visit.

Although this young man liked to talk big and seemed somewhat unreliable, what if what she said was true?

If this young man could help solve the problem of unsold fruits for every household, the entire village would have hope.

Li Xianyun said, “Old uncle, please pack up a bit, we’ll wait for Nata’s wife.”

Habu, laughing, agreed repeatedly and turned to his little grandson, saying, “Balang, quickly help grandpa pack up, we’ve met a noble person today.”

The grandfather and grandson packed their things cheerfully.

Zhuo Ma, Youlan, and Nata’s wife quickly finished packing everything.

The fruits that had been kicked and crushed could only be thrown away. Those that were partly damaged, Nata’s wife couldn’t bear to discard; she gathered them in a basket, planning to wash them for her family to stave off hunger.

There were also a few fruits that remained undamaged and could be washed and sold again, but they had developed yellow bruises and wouldn’t fetch a good price.

Just as the three people finished packing, a government carriage pulled up in front of Nata’s fruit stall, driven by two government officers.

Nata’s wife, accustomed to being bullied, thought she had brought trouble upon herself and her face turned pale with fear.

Then the two government officers dismounted the carriage and respectfully opened the door from the outside, saying, “Sirs, we have arrived.”

Nata, limping, hopped down from the carriage looking refreshed and brisk.

Everyone was stunned; how could Nata be riding in a government carriage?
