After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

Chapter 23 Encountering the Overlord

Mother Su held the two children behind her and asked nervously, "Sir, what do you want?"

The fat and big-eared officer in the lead, with a knife on his shoulder, asked nonchalantly, "What were you selling just now?"

"Yes... yes" Su's mother was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Shitou stood up and said, "We sell tofu. If you want to eat some, we will sell it here tomorrow. You can buy some to try."

The officers and soldiers looked at each other with ill intent in their eyes: "Hey, tofu seller, why did I hear that this tofu of yours killed people?"

Another echoed: "Yes, I heard someone say it yesterday."

People passing by shook their heads and said, "How pitiful! They met Mr. Huang Er."

"What are you talking about? Get out of here now." The soldier named Huang Erye threatened with the knife in his hand, and the passers-by were frightened and ran away.

When Liu Huan heard the passers-by say this, he knew that these people were here to cause trouble, and he was afraid that they would need money to get rid of them.

She took out the copper coin that Shitou had given her last time and handed it over: "Sir, you have worked hard. Let us treat you to a cup of tea."

Master Huang weighed the copper coin and said with a slanted smile, "Well, since you want to treat me to tea, then be sincere. Tell us how your tofu is made. We can earn some pocket money."

"I..." Su's mother was so scared when she heard this that she cried. She thought he wanted money, but she didn't expect he wanted the formula, which was the hope of the family.

Shitou took her hand and patted it, then stood up and asked, "What if you don't give it to me?"

"No?" Master Huang raised his voice: "Haha, listen to what he said. If he doesn't give it to you, I think you are tired of living."

Getting ready to take action.

At this time, someone passing by said, "Isn't this the brother of the concubine of the Pavilion Master? He is trying to steal her secret recipe again."

Passerby A: "Yeah, this family is so unlucky. I heard it's only the second day of setting up the stall."

Passerby B: "Alas, if you don't have any ability, you will be bullied."

Mr. Huang was so angry that he said, "It's none of your business. Get out of here."

The few people who were in a stalemate began to get impatient and simply knocked all their things down and kicked them everywhere.

Su's mother was so scared that she cried loudly: "Sir, please don't smash it, please don't smash it..."

Shitou rushed forward to stop them: "Get out of here, you robbers."

"Robbers? Hey, he said we are robbers, so I will show you how to be robbers." After saying that, he picked up the knife in his hand and cut a big hole in the box of tofu.

He pushed the stone to the ground. Liu Huan stood in front of him and said, "Don't push the stone."

Shitou held her in his arms and protected her head with his hands.

"Bah, I'm going to fight you again. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know what I do."

Mr. Huang kicked Shi Tou again and again, but Shi Tou hugged Liu Huan tightly to protect her.

Su's mother was stopped by someone nearby. She watched Shitou and Liu Huan being kicked to their knees and begging for mercy: "Master, please, they are just children, please let us go."

Master Huang looked ferocious: "I don't care whether you are a child or not. If you don't hand over the secret recipe, I will beat you to death." He kicked the stone hard, and the stone just groaned.

Many people gathered around, and everyone was whispering, "What a sin! They didn't even let such a young child go."

On the other side of the road, a group of people on horseback came over. The leader was about thirty years old, wearing a long gown and looking dusty. It was obvious that he had come from a distance.

Seeing that there were many people in front of him, he told the people around him: "What happened in front? Qianfeng, go and take a look."

The guard called Qianfeng rode forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

Everyone made way for her and he saw the mother and her two children who were being bullied.

He shouted, "Stop it!"

Mr. Huang turned around and saw the man in plain clothes. He snorted coldly, "Who are you? Get out of here, or I'll beat you up too."

He rode forward with the wind in front of him and knocked Mr. Huang and his men to the ground with one move.

Mother Su was able to reach Shitou and hug him and Liu Huan in her arms, crying, "Are you okay? Huanhuan, Shitou?"

Shitou endured the pain and responded: "Mom, don't worry."

"Forward, what's going on?" The master from Qianfeng came over on horseback.

Qianfeng replied: "My lord, it was a few soldiers beating women and children."

Seeing that the visitor looked like someone who was not easy to deal with, Mr. Huang felt a little uneasy and said stiffly, "What does this have to do with you? If you want to leave, leave now."

Mother Su ran to the master and knelt down, "Please, master, save me and my child. These officials beat us without any reason. Please save us, master."

Seeing this, Mr. Huang raised his knife and prepared to step forward again: "You stinky bitch, believe it or not, I will chop you to pieces with my knife."

Qian Feng kicked him again and said, "How dare you bully the weak in broad daylight in front of everyone? How can you be an official?"

Mr. Huang's little follower snorted coldly: "Oh, do you know who my eldest brother is?"

"That's right. My eldest brother is the brother-in-law of the pavilion chief. Who do you think you are?"

I thought that introducing myself would make the old man afraid, but I didn't expect the old man to say something directly.

"Come here, tie these people up." The master gave an order, and a few more people came out from behind and tied up Master Huang and the others.

"You are so presumptuous. You dare to tie me up. You will be in trouble when my brother-in-law comes."

The guard beside the man stepped forward and kicked him: "You are so presumptuous, open your dog eyes and see that this is our county magistrate."

Mr. Huang was so frightened that his face turned pale and his voice was trembling: "County, County Magistrate?"

After he came to his senses, he began to beg for mercy: "Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again."

"take away."

The county magistrate jumped off the carriage, helped Su Muxu up, and came to the stone. "If you don't want to be beaten, then make yourself stronger."

After saying that, he threw a jade pendant to him and said, "If you have anything to say, you can bring this jade pendant to the county government office to find me. I have been here for some time."

After saying this, he mounted his horse and rode away. The other vendors began to envy him. He was the county magistrate after all. It was such a blessing to be able to borrow his influence.

What happened that day planted a deep seed in Shitou's heart. The ferocious look of Master Huang, the figure of his mother kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Liu Huan's red eyes from crying, his own powerlessness, and the man called the County Magistrate.

Even when he rose to prominence, he still could not forget the fact that the weak would be bullied.

Liu Huan didn't notice the look in his eyes. With red eyes, he helped him up. "Shi Tou, are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Shitou shook his head and said it was okay. The two of them helped Su's mother up from the ground: "Mom, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back." Su's mother wiped away her tears and picked up the things on the ground, even those that were broken.

When the crowd saw them gone, they all dispersed as there was nothing else to see.

Qian Feng, who was heading to the government office, asked, "Sir, why did you give the jade pendant to that child?"

The county magistrate looked into the distance and said in a long voice: "Because, I seem to see myself back then."

Weak, pitiful and helpless...
