The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure-Chapter 863 - 862: Still Afraid of Not Getting Justice?

Suddenly they found their target: "Sisters, these people are the ones who always deceive us into buying that disfiguring rouge—" With these words, everyone unanimously waved their sharp nails and lunged forward.

The two government officials broke into cold sweats and began to retreat, step by step, back towards the door connecting to the backyard.

They turned their heads to sneak a look; behind them was the yard, a few rooms, and a small back door.

Their eyes lit up instantly and they retreated again without drawing any attention.

They managed to retreat to the backyard unnoticed, and hearing the shopkeeper and assistants’ screams from the front, they hesitated no longer. With a swift push off their feet, they climbed over the yard wall...

Having climbed over the wall, the two exchanged glances and sprinted towards the Yamen. They needed to call for reinforcements quickly, or there would be a major incident.

After running a few steps, they saw Wang Yongzhu leisurely carrying a medicine bag and a few packs of snacks, slowly walking.

The government officials looked at Wang Yongzhu with complicated feelings and eyes. They had been on this street for many years and seen a lot. At this moment, in retrospect, Wang Yongzhu had never been in a hurry. Every word she said and every expression she showed had been purposeful.

She had casually ruined the Tian Family’s rouge shop, exposed the secrets of the Tian Family lady boss, and even more terrifyingly, effortlessly disclosed the formula of Tian Family’s rouge and powder, stirring discontent towards the Tian Family.

One event led to another, and now she had somehow already left the Tian Family shop, looking as if she had nothing to do with what had happened.

The government officials looked at Wang Yongzhu with eyes full of fear and vigilance.

One of them opened his mouth to say something but was pulled aside by the slightly older one: "Alright, let’s go back and get help! If we delay any longer, there might be casualties! Deal with other things later—"

The two government officials gritted their teeth and ran away.

By the time the government officials hurried over, the Tian Family’s rouge shop was already surrounded by a throng of people.

The onlookers outside were all men, while inside the Tian Family shop, it was packed to the brim.

Countless women who heard the news were still flocking from all directions of the county, demanding an explanation from the shop.

The doors and windows of the rouge shop had been smashed to pieces by the angry women, and there wasn’t a single intact item in the entire shop.

Inside, someone was calling for help, someone was cursing loudly, and someone else was crying and wailing. It was complete chaos.

The government officials rolled up their sleeves and frantically started pushing the onlookers away. It took a tremendous effort to squeeze inside, and the leading team leader shouted at the top of his voice: "Yamen at work! Everyone disperse quickly, or you’ll be taken to the Yamen and face punishment—"

"Er Gouzi, try arresting me!" Before he finished speaking, a robust lady burst out from the crowd.

The team leader’s face immediately fell, looking around desperately, he whispered to the lady: "Auntie, what are you doing here? It’s crowded and chaotic. If you get hurt, what should I do? Where is Wang Cai? Why isn’t he here with you? Let me send you back, okay?"

The lady stood firmly in front of the team leader: "Why can’t I be here? I’ve been using Tian Family’s rouge and powder for years, and now I find out it can disfigure?"

"Back then, I was the most beautiful woman on this street. Now, using Tian Family’s rouge powder, not only is my face yellow and wrinkled, but even my figure has changed! You think I shouldn’t be here? Do you expect me to swallow this injustice?"

"I tell you, Er Gouzi! If I get inside, I’ll definitely scratch their faces!"

Nicknamed Er Gouzi, now the team leader at the Yamen, full of anger kicked away a few sneering subordinates: "Get lost! What are you laughing at?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

A few subordinates were sneaking away, but the lady blocked them: "Where are you going? Come right in and arrest the people from Tian Family! What are you waiting for?"

The team leader wished he could kneel before his aunt! He wanted to tell her: Auntie, you’re old enough now; even if you didn’t use that rouge, your face should be yellow and wrinkled by now, right? Not having wrinkles means you’re a witch.

Besides, even if their rouge causes disfigurement, it isn’t blamed for the change in figure. Does that make sense?

If another woman had been this unreasonable, he would have sent her to the Yamen unceremoniously.

But this was his aunt; his parents passed away early, and it was thanks to her, she raised him like her own son, helped him marry, and start a family. In his heart, she was like a biological mother.

Don’t say she called him Er Gouzi publicly; he’d willingly wash her feet in public if she asked.

But he was still a leader; he needed to maintain face, so despite feeling awkward, he gently coaxed: "Auntie, please go back. Don’t worry, if Tian Family’s rouge shop indeed has an issue, I won’t let them off!"

"But, look at the crowd, if you get hurt, what will happen to us? Please go back, and I promise you’ll get justice with me around!"

Though the lady was still somewhat reluctant, given her nephew’s earnest plea, she had no choice but to nod unwillingly and prepare to leave.

She paused, feeling uneasy: "Er Gouzi, don’t let Tian Family escape! Their business has harmed countless women over the decades! For us women, our faces are crucial. Disfigurement is like death! This is threatening the lives of Jing County’s women! Understand?"

The team leader nodded fervently: "Got it! Don’t worry, Tian Family is guilty of fatal negligence. I definitely won’t let them escape!"

After sending off his formidable aunt, he wiped his forehead’s sweat and kicked a few subordinates eavesdropping and snickering: "Stop laughing! Get to work!"

A government official close to him approached: "Head, what do you think is behind Tian Family’s incident this time? Offended someone? Or?" He gestured to the sky as he spoke.
