Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 194 A Group of Strangers
One hot afternoon, many villagers gathered in front of Chen's house. They came with a luxurious carriage, and that carriage stopped at Chen Da.What made the villagers curious was not the luxurious carriage comparable to a modern Rolls-Royce, but a group of officers and soldiers in armor behind the carriage.

"Why do you think a group of officers and soldiers came to Shizhu's house?" asked a five or sixty-year-old uncle.

"Is there someone in his family who committed a crime?" A young man said.

"What could be wrong?" asked another man.

"If something happened, it must be a big deal, otherwise there wouldn't be so many officers and soldiers coming." A woman said firmly.

"What can their family do?"

"Isn't it related to us signing this contract?" The uncle was surprised.

"It's not certain. After our rice is planted, their family will buy our rice. It is against the law to sell grain without permission."
"No, then will we be okay?" The other asked in panic. They only signed the contract with their family in order to let the whole family have a good meal. He didn't want to go to jail for this.

"Who knows! Let's see." If something really happened, he should pack up his things and move his family as soon as possible. He didn't want to go to jail.

Yu'er heard the knock on the door, and she was frightened by the battle when she opened the door. After recovering from her senses, Yu'er immediately closed the door again, and bolted it back inside, and ran to the inner house in a panic.

The uncle who knocked on the door just got rejected, frowned involuntarily, and lowered his voice like a male duck and said, "You really don't know how to appreciate a girl!"

"Yu'er, what's the matter?" Chen Wenbin asked when he saw that her expression was not right. He just came back and wanted to discuss with his wife about finding General Qin.

"Master, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside!"

"Officers and soldiers?" Chen Wenbin frowned. They had no relationship with the government, and no one committed crimes at home. How could officers and soldiers come to the house?

"Go, go out and have a look." Chen Wenbin said as he was about to go outside.

Seeing this, Yu'er hurriedly stopped in front of Chen Wenbin, and said in fear: "Young master, you can't go out!" As soon as her young master came in, those officers and soldiers came, maybe it was related to him, she couldn't let him go out to take risks.

"Why can't I go out?" Chen Wenbin looked at Yu'er puzzled.

"Young master, they may have come to catch you."

Chen Wenbin laughed lightly when he heard the words: "What a silly girl, I didn't do anything wrong, what are they doing? I'll go out and have a look." After finishing speaking, Chen Wenbin passed Yu'er and opened the door.

"Eldest Young Master—" Seeing that the Eldest Young Master had left the inner house, Yu'er had no choice but to go in and tell Madam.

Li Yao had just put the old lady to sleep, and after hearing what Yu'er said, she hurried out too.

Chen Wenbin opened the door and saw an uncle who looked like a housekeeper of a wealthy family standing at the door. He glanced at the group of people outside the door and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"My master is looking for a Mrs. Chen Li. I wonder if she will live here?" The uncle said with a strange voice on his cold face, thinking that he was a steward of a consort's mansion, when had he been shut down?

Mrs. Chen Li?That is my daughter-in-law, Chen Wenbin said: "That is my daughter-in-law."

"Then why are you still sticking around? Why don't you invite our master in?" the uncle housekeeper said arrogantly.

Chen Wenbin's calm face turned even colder.
