I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 33 Sun's Mother and Son
Xiao Shirong was already upset about Miao's affairs, but Sun came to see him all day long for such an insignificant matter.

So now, Xiao Shirong avoided Sun, and Sun ran to Xie Fei all day long, hoping to find out something in exchange for a reward.

Most of the time, Xie Fei was not seen either. He would only let people in when there was a message that Sun needed to convey that would reassure Xiao Shirong.

Now Sun was getting no news about Xie Fei no matter how hard he tried, and he was getting extremely anxious.

In the evening, Sun Dalang came to deliver tung oil, and Sun followed eagerly.

"Thank you, little lady. There are fifty kilograms of tung oil here. Please check it."

Before Xie Fei could speak, Fu Yu said angrily, "How come there are only 50 kilograms of tung oil when there are so many tung fruits? Mr. Sun, you are not hiding it against your conscience, are you?"

Sun Dalang cried out in injustice, saying, "Miss Fuyu, have you ever squeezed oil yourself? Do you know how much tung oil you can get after taking into account the oil yield and loss? You slandered me like this in front of me, I want justice!"

Fu Yu was furious and wanted to argue, but Xie Fei gave her a look that suggested she keep the peace.

Xie Fei smiled and said softly, "I have a strong temper, Brother Sun, don't take it to heart."

Sun Dalang thought he had married the eldest lady of Pei's house, so he became a little indifferent to Xie Fei.

"It's time to discipline this little girl. The older she gets, the harder it is to discipline her. If she offends someone in the future, you will be implicated, right?"

Xie Fei held down Fu Yu who was about to get angry, and said, "Yes, when she reaches the age to get married, I will have to temper her temper severely."

Fu Yu felt a little strange and didn't know why Xie Fei suddenly said such a thing.

Xie Fei looked curious and asked Sun Dalang, "Brother Sun doesn't look young anymore. Is he married?"

Speaking of this, Sun sighed and said, "To be honest, my brother is quite charming and handsome, but he has never found a husband. I am worried about him all the time."

Xie Fei looked at Sun Dalang carefully.

When it comes to handsome men, of course it is the mother Sun who is blind.

However, Sun Dalang was indeed good-looking. Although his figure was not as strong and tall as Chen Dafa's, his facial features were barely normal, at least not crooked or uneven.

If his expression was more restrained and steady, and his eyes were not so evasive and vague, he would look a bit like the accountant of a wealthy family.

Logically speaking, as long as a person's character is not particularly bad, he should have no problem finding a wife.

Xie Fei added: "Don't worry, maybe it's not the right time yet. However, there are many maids in Pei's house. If there is a suitable one, maybe I can say a few words to her."

When Sun heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Are you serious, little girl?"

Xie Fei smiled and took a sip of tea, saying, "Young Master Sun is outstanding in appearance, young and promising, how can he not be worthy of the maid of Pei Mansion?"

Sun was extremely happy and quickly pulled Sun Dalang to thank him.

As soon as the two of them left, Fu Yu said angrily, "Girl, look at the tung oil. It's not like we haven't squeezed it before. How could there be only 50 kilograms of tung oil from half a room of tung fruits?"

Tung oil is expensive outside, so Sun Dalang definitely got a lot of it. He can either sell it or use it for himself.

Xie Fei smiled and said, "We still have half a house left. You can squeeze the rest by yourself."

Fu Yu continued, "Also, you suddenly mentioned that you want to find a maid for Sun Dalang. Are you really so bored that you want to go and arrange a matchmaking?"

Xie Fei smiled but said nothing, drinking his tea calmly. After leaving the yard, Sun's mother and son were also puzzled by Xie Fei's behavior.

Sun Dalang said, "Why are you talking about finding me a wife?"

They've only met two or three times, but she's so concerned about his marriage. Is this Miss Xie just too idle?
Sun said proudly: "What do you know? She knows you are capable and is trying to curry favor with us!"

Sun Dalang had some self-awareness and wondered, "What can I do? After all these years, I haven't even become a village head."

Sun slapped her son on the back and said, "If she didn't value you, why would she just ask you to help her press tung oil? Besides, you are my son, how can you be incapable? If it weren't for the dirty gang of the Chen family, the position of village head would belong to you!"

After hearing this, Sun Dalang was skeptical.

But if you think about it carefully, the fact that he is valued by Xie Fei and has gained face in Pei Mansion shows that he is indeed a capable person.
Thinking of this, Sun Dalang couldn't help but feel proud and held his head high.

Sun was also happy. If she could marry a daughter-in-law of the Pei family in the future, not only would she receive a high monthly salary, but she might also be able to work in the mansion with her son.

Isn’t that tremendous wealth a thousand times better than living in the farm?
The good days are finally coming!

After a few days, Chen Dafa finally got better and came with his mother and wife to thank Xie Fei.

The three men knelt in the yard and kowtowed solemnly. Fu Yu couldn't help himself up, so she had to let them complete the ceremony.

Xie Fei said, "It's because Mr. Chen is in good health that he managed to get through this. When you go to the mountains, be careful. Let alone your mother, you should think more about your pregnant wife."

Chen Dafa turned his head and stared at Shui Huaiyu for a long time, then said to Xie Fei seriously: "Mrs. Xie is right. If you hadn't helped us this time, our family would have been destroyed long ago. You have been very kind to us, and we will do whatever you want from now on!"

Xie Fei said: "You have finished your greetings and have said your words, so get up quickly."

The three of them then stood up.

Chen Dafa has no problem walking now, but he still needs a month or two to recover from doing heavy work, climbing, running and jumping as before.

However, he had a high prestige, and almost everyone in the village obeyed his orders, except for Sun's mother and son and a few new arrivals.

Therefore, the position of village head is still firmly in his hands.

Xie Fei gave some more instructions, and Chen Dafa and Shui Huaiyu left with gratitude.

Madam Liu was waiting by the side and said to Xie Fei, "The Sun family and their son are restless and have close ties with the Pei residence. What do you think we should do with them?"

Xie Fei was pounding some herbs to make some ointment. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "What can I do? They are living people, not cats and dogs in the backyard. Can I kill them?"

This Dajing is not the end of the world, or the martial arts world in novels, and killing people on the street is not illegal.

Our dynasty has complete and strict laws. At least on the surface, if a wealthy and powerful person kills an innocent citizen, he must pay with his life.

Slaves and servants could not be tortured or killed at will. Even if they committed a crime, they had to report to the authorities and explain the reasons. They could only deal with them after obtaining permission.

If someone is beaten to death by his master for no reason, his relatives can go to court and demand an explanation from his master.

Either compensation or a beating with a stick would be imposed on the host. In serious cases, the host might even be exiled and brought to ruin.

If it's a secret murder, these coroners and constables are not there to eat for free in the yamen. If they find any clues, ordinary people will not be able to deal with it.
