Chapter 403: A New Proposal
After Da Niu returned home and changed his clothes, he grabbed an umbrella and just arrived at the doorstep of Lu Dasong's house when Village Chief Chen led Hu Li and others in a grand manner.
Village Chief Chen waved his hand to greet him with an exceptionally excited expression. "Lu boy, is your Fourth Uncle and the others at home? Quickly, go and tell them, the county officials have arrived with good news."
Da Niu smiled and said, "They are at home. Please come in quickly."
The people in the yard had already heard the commotion and came out to greet them.
Village Chief Chen was momentarily stunned when he saw the scene, and Hu Li immediately chuckled. "It's quite lively here."
The crowd quickly made way for Hu Li and the others to enter the house.
Lu Sixing wiped her hands, feeling a bit uneasy. Fortunately, Shu Yu was here, so she didn't need to attend to the officials herself.
Shu Yu greeted Hu Li, saying, "Brother Hu, I didn't expect you to come."
"I came to bring you good news. This is a joyful occasion, so of course I wanted to join in the fun. Where's Yuan Shanchuan?"
"Sir, I'm here." Yuan Shanchuan didn't let anyone support him and leaned against the wall as he walked out of the house.
Hu Li noticed that his complexion was somewhat pale and seemed worse than a couple of days ago, which surprised him.
However, he quickly remembered what Village Chief Chen had told them on the way. It was probably because of the broken family ties. The Yuan family was truly short-sighted, but for Yuan Shanchuan, it might not necessarily be a bad thing to get rid of such a burden.
Hu Li didn't ask further questions. Both of them took off their raincoats and sat on the nearby stools, ignoring the curious villagers peeking their heads in from outside the hall.
First, he asked about Yuan Shanchuan's health. The latter sat back in the chair, smiled, and said, "I'm actually feeling a bit better now. I had trouble sleeping before, but after coughing up some stagnant blood yesterday, I slept through the night. I just don't have much strength and my limbs feel weak, but I should be fine in a few days."
"That's good to hear."
While they were talking, Lu Sixing brought out several bowls of ginger tea and handed them to the two officials and Village Chief Chen.
As for the Yuan family members who were peeping from behind, she acted as if she hadn't seen them.
Surprisingly, in this weather, when they were all drenched, drinking a bowl of ginger tea did make them feel much more comfortable.
Hu Li thanked her with a smile, exchanged a few more words with Yuan Shanchuan, and then said, "Last time, when the officials asked you what reward you wanted, you fainted, so that matter was temporarily put on hold. But now, the murderer in the Zhao family murder case has been found, thanks to the information you provided. So this reward must be implemented no matter what. Our officials have always been fair in rewards and punishments."
Yuan Shanchuan smiled somewhat awkwardly. Last time, when the county magistrate asked if he wanted silver, he instinctively refused. But considering his family's current situation, with their house gone and owing ten taels of silver to Ah Yu, they needed money everywhere. So he was indeed in urgent need of this reward.
He squeezed his hand slightly, took a deep breath, and asked, "I would like to ask, what is the reward from the officials?"
Or in other words, how much silver is it?
Hu Li smiled and said, "Well, here's the thing. Our officials have a new proposal and want to ask for your opinion. If you think it's feasible, then we'll go with it. How about that?"
A new proposal?
Yuan Shanchuan was surprised. "What, what is it?"
