The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  After sending Secretary Qian off, the villagers crowded around Tang Hao.

  They had admired Tang Hao’s achievements, but now their gazes toward him were filled with respect.

  In their eyes, the District Secretary was a very high-ranked official. Lil Hao was not only connected to the previous Secretary, but he was able to chat with the current Secretary as though he were a normal person. Tang Hao had become an incredible VIP in their eyes.

  “Thank you so much for today, Lil Hao!” Tang Dashun, the village elder, said happily.

  “That’s a good one, Lil Hao! You’ve helped us beat up the two bastards! That was so satisfying to watch!”

  “It’s all thanks to Lil Hao today!”

  The villagers surrounding him chatted happily.

  Tang Hao returned to his old house with the villagers escorting him.

  Tang Hao felt sentimental when he stepped inside. He had left Tang Village for several months. The furniture in the house was covered in a thin layer of dust.

  They stayed until night time when they had a festive dinner with the villagers. Then, Tang Hao and Han Yutong finally left Tang Village.

  Back at the mansion, he met Sis Xiangyi.

  As the Chinese saying went, “A short separation makes a couple fonder than being newly married”. They spent a long time in bed before falling asleep.

  The next morning, Tang Hao went to Dragonrock Village as usual to tend to his secret plantation.

  When he left the mountains, his phone started ringing. He took it out to see that it was an unknown number.

  “Who might it be?” Tang Hao muttered.

  “Hello! Who is this?” Tang Hao said as he answered the call.

  The other end of the phone was silent for a while. “It’s me!” A familiar voice was heard.

  Tang Hao was shocked. The voice belonged to the beautiful police officer!

  “It’s you, Officer Zhao!” Tang Hao said, surprised, “Is there anything?”

  Zhao Qingxue gritted her teeth. “Don’t you think that you’ve forgotten something, Tang Hao?” She said angrily.

  Why did the police officer sound like she was interrogating him?

  Tang Hao pondered over the question for a long while, but could not remember what he had forgotten.

  “What is it, Officer Zhao?”

  “You…” Zhao Qingxue’s eyes were already bulging. “Your memory is horrible, Tang Hao! Didn’t you promise me that you’d concoct a potion for me? Let me ask you, where’s the potion?”

  Tang Hao’s mouth twitched awkwardly.

  He did indeed make that promise!

  That happened when she fetched him to the hospital for the case of the female ghost. He promised to concoct a potion to solve her period problems.

  However, the case of the female ghost dragged on for longer than he expected, and the matter slipped his mind. Furthermore, he was not very close to Zhao Qingxue and did not have her number, and the matter was forgotten completely.

  “Well… um… I’m sorry!” Tang Hao said awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

  “Hmph!” Zhao Qingxue grunted angrily.

  “How are you feeling now though, Officer Zhao? It’s been half a month. Is it still the same?” Tang Hao asked.

  Zhao Qingxue was hesitant to reply. “Well… it seems like it’s gotten worse. I feel that my body isn’t as healthy as before. My chest feels stuffy often, and I get acne breakouts on my face.”

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows. “Officer Zhao, work might be important, but your health is even more important!”

  “I know that! You don’t have to tell me! All I’m asking you is, can you cure this?” Zhao Qingxue still sounded angry.

  “Of course I can cure it! It’s not a very serious problem!” Tang Hao said, “Alright, I can concoct the potion now, and I’ll send it to the police station soon.”

  “Don’t!” Zhao Qingxue said urgently, “It’s my day off today and I’m not at the station. You can contact me when you’re done with the potion!”

  “Alright then!” Tang Hao agreed, then ended the call.

  Then, he sat down next to a farm, retrieved the ingredients from his pocket dimension, and started to concoct the potion.

  He held each ingredient in his palm to channel qi into it, then pounded them in a medicinal bowl to obtain a small bowl of medicinal liquid.

  He filled up a bottle with the liquid, then contacted Zhao Qingxue. After that, he rode on his three-wheeled motorcycle and headed toward Provincial City.

  Chapter 154 - I’m A Police Officer!

  On the road, the little three-wheeled motorcycle sped as fast as lightning.

  Tang Hao arrived at Provincial City in less than twenty minutes. A few minutes later, he stopped at the entrance to a cafe.

  Tang Hao hopped off the little three-wheeled motorcycle and went inside.

  Many well-dressed people were sitting in the cafe. Some were wearing trendy clothes.

  Many people furrowed their brows when they saw Tang Hao at the entrance. Some displayed looks of disdain.

  ‘That boy looks quite handsome, but his clothes are extremely outdated. Oh my god! There’s crusted mud on his pants!’

  Their brows were locked even tighter when they saw the little three-wheeled motorcycle parked outside.

  “Where is this country bumpkin from?”

  “He’s probably a peasant farmer from a countryside village. Since when do peasant farmers drink coffee like us city folk?”

  The people in the cafe whispered among themselves, their voices brimming with mockery.

  In their eyes, drinking coffee in a cafe is a status symbol. What status did a peasant farmer from a village have?

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows when he overheard that, but did not care to respond.

  Standing at the door, he scanned the interior of the cafe and noticed Zhao Qingxue sitting in a corner.

  It was the first time that Tang Hao saw her out of the police uniform.

  She was dressed rather casually. She wore a simple cotton top, though it could not hide her voluptuous curves. The twin peaks on her chest pushed against the thin fabric of her top.

  She was still as charming as ever: the perfect heart-shaped face, eyebrows that looked like brush strokes, and fiery red lips.

  Her long, glossy, black hair was like unfurled silk that contrasted the fairness of her skin.

  Her existence had attracted the eyes of all the males in the cafe.

  Even without the bewitching beauty of her face, her body had pushed the men’s urges to the edge. The more perverted ones were already gulping.

  Tang Hao was a little shocked when he looked at her.

  She carried a different aura while in casual clothes. She did not look as gallant but had a certain feminine charm.

  Soon, Tang Hao noticed that a person was sitting in front of her.

  “Can I buy you a drink, beautiful lady?”

  The guy that sat in front of her smiled lustfully as he spoke. His eyes gravitated toward the twin peaks, and he had to keep swallowing his drool.

  Zhao Qingxue’s face was as cold as a glacier. She looked at the man with disgust.

  “Get lost!” She spat two words from her mouth.

  “Don’t be like that, beautiful lady. Can’t we be friends over a cup of coffee?” The perverted guy was persistent.

  Zhao Qingxue straightened her brows and slammed the table.

  The perverted guy was intimidated by her outburst. He shuddered, then sheepishly slinked away.

  Right after he left, another person stood up. It was a middle-aged man with a masculine face in a business suit.

  He walked over with firm strides and sat down confidently in front of her.

  Then, he preened his hair and flashed a confident smile at Zhao Qingxue. He took out a name card and gave it to her.

  “This is my name card, beautiful lady. I run an IT company. Are you interested in being friends?”

  “Not! Interested!” Zhao Qi
ngxue spat out each word.

  The smile froze on the man’s face.

  “I just want to make friends, beautiful lady!” The man was not quite ready to admit defeat.

  “Get lost!” Zhao Qingxue said impatiently.

  The man was stunned for a long time, then he left the table, defeated.

  Another person was seen preparing to make his move.

  Zhao Qingxue could not take it anymore. She took out her police badge from her handbag and threw it on the table. “I’m a police officer. I’ll arrest whoever dares to sit in front of me!” She roared.

  Everyone was dumbstruck at that instant.

  When they looked closely at the badge, a shiver went up their spine and they turned around to leave.

  ‘Too bad! That beautiful lady is a police officer!’ They lamented in their hearts.

  They would have been a little more persistent if she were a normal girl, but they dared not cross a police officer who was not in the mood for flirting.

  Even so, many people stole glances at her.

  Tang Hao nearly burst out laughing when he saw the scene. ‘This police officer has too much charm. She’s just sitting there and people are flocking to chat up with her,’ he thought.

  Then, he started walking toward Zhao Qingxue.

  The men in the cafe were surprised when they saw him. Then, they burst out laughing.

  “Hahaha! That’s too funny! Does this country bumpkin want to chat up with the beautiful police officer? Where does he get his confidence from?”

  “Haha! He ought to pee on the ground and look at himself in the puddle. Is he even aware of his appearance?”

  Everyone laughed at him. Their snobbery and disgust were written all over their faces.

  In their eyes, it was ridiculous that a plainly-dressed country bumpkin riding a three-wheeled motorcycle would attempt to chat up with a masterpiece of a woman.

  ‘That kid must be crazy!’ They mocked at him in their hearts.

  ‘Does that kid have a death wish? He’ll definitely be rejected, if not arrested!’

  However, something happened immediately after that made their jaws drop.

  The beautiful lady nodded at that plain-looking kid.

  Everyone went cross-eyed at that moment. They thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.

  That country bumpkin succeeded in gaining her attention!

  Everyone thought that it was incredulous. They wondered if the beautiful lady was blind. She had repelled so many men and even bosses, but she regarded that country bumpkin differently.

  That was too nonsensical!

  Everyone’s eyes were filled with envy as they were focused on Tang Hao.

  After Tang Hao sat down, he leaned close and smiled. “You’re too charming, Officer Zhao.”

  Zhao Qingxue sat back to avoid everyone looking at her.

  She rolled her eyes. “What do you mean? Are you making fun of my misfortune? On usual days when I’m in uniform, who would dare chat up with me?”

  Tang Hao smiled. “Officer Zhao, your temper is getting worse! Looks like the situation is quite serious.”

  Zhao Qingxue glared at him and said coldly, ‘Where’s the potion?”

  Tang Hao retrieved a small bottle and handed it to her.

  “Your condition isn’t too serious. It’s just that your workload is giving you a lot of stress, which causes a hormonal imbalance in your body. That’ll lead to period problems and a bad temper. You should be fine after drinking this.

  “Of course, you’ll have to make sure that you don’t overwork yourself in the future.”

  “It’s that easy?” Zhao Qingxue furrowed her brows and said doubtfully.

  “Of course!” Tang Hao said, “This isn’t normal medicine. It’s quite potent.”

  “Pah!” Zhao Qingxue obviously did not believe it. “Whatever. I’ll just have to try it!”

  Then, she stashed the bottle into her handbag.

  Chapter 155 - Massage

  After stashing the potion in her handbag, she took out her purse.

  “How much is it?”

  “It’s free. I made the potion myself, and it doesn’t cost me a lot of money. I’ll feel bad for charging you since it’s my fault in the first place.”

  “Well…” Zhao Qingxue hesitated.

  She thought for a while, then nodded, “Alright! I heard that you started a company recently anyway. You should be rich, and you won’t need my money.”

  She smiled a rare smile. “Thanks!”

  Then, she prepared to stand up and leave.

  “Wait!” Tang Hao said.

  “What’s wrong?” Zhao Qingxue was surprised.

  Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and examined her. “Officer Zhao, do you have any problems here?” He said seriously while pointing at his chest.

  Zhao Qingxue was visibly angry when she heard that.

  “You Tang kid!” She straightened her brows and gritted her teeth.

  ‘This guy is a lecher after all!’ She cursed in her heart.

  “Ahem! Don’t be rash, Officer Zhao. I’m asking if you feel stuffy in your chest here. Also, your back might be feeling sore!” Tang Hao said awkwardly.

  Zhao Qingxue was surprised. “How… How did you know?”

  Her chest and back were indeed giving her problems recently.

  Tang Hao smiled. “Didn’t I tell you not to wear your bra too tightly, Officer Zhao? That’s very damaging to your body.”

  Zhao Qingxue blushed.

  She was embarrassed to speak about her body problems. However, that kid had somehow discerned her problems just by looking at her and described them with great detail.

  Her embarrassment had caused her to be angry. She wanted to say something but she thought anything said would worsen the situation.

  “So… it’s really a problem caused by ‘that’?” She leaned over and whispered.

  “Of course!” Tang Hao said.

  “What should I do?” Zhao Qingxue asked urgently.

  “That’s easy. I’ll just have to massage it!” Tang Hao said.

  Upon hearing that, Zhao Qingxue straightened her brows and her eyes went wide.

  “Tang kid, you lecher!” She cursed loudly and nearly slapped him.

  Tang Hao frantically shrunk into his seat. “You’ve misunderstood, Officer Zhao! I’m not massaging ‘there’, but your back!”

  “My back?” Zhao Qingxue was surprised, and her anger dissipated, though she still looked angry.

  That would still be inappropriate!

  However, she started having second thoughts when she recalled how the problems with her body had caused her much anguish.

  “Are you sure that a massage can cure it?” She said softly.

  “Yes, it’ll be very simple. In fact, I can do it right here!” Tang Hao said.

  “That won’t do!” Zhao Qingxue’s face turned bright red as she glanced at her surroundings.

  She struggled internally for a while, then said, “Let’s go to my house! It’s in the residential area nearby.”

  Tang Hao was shocked. “What? Go to your house?” He exclaimed in surprise.

  His voice was rather loud and the entire cafe heard that.

  The bustling cafe suddenly fell silent. One could even hear a pin drop.

  Everyone stared at them with round, wide eyes. They could not believe what they had just heard.

  ‘Oh my god! What did he just say?’

  ‘Did that beautiful lady police officer invite that country bumpkin to her house? Did they develop their relationship in such a short time?’

  ‘That is insane!’

  “F*ck! Where’s the justice in this world? How’s that possible?”

  “Dammit, we were blind! He’s not a country bumpkin, but a master casanova!”

  Everyone exclaimed in shock, and their gazes toward Tang Hao turned into utter admiration.

  Zhao Qingxue blushed even more intensely when she heard the commotion around them.

  She g
rabbed her handbag and stood up. “Let’s go! What are we waiting for?” She told Tang Hao.

  Then, she reached out to grab Tang Hao, then headed toward the exit.

  “Wow!” Everyone in the cafe exclaimed.

  Everyone went slack-jawed when they saw that. Their respect toward Tang Hao had risen like the tide.

  Outside of the cafe, Zhao Qingxue was still holding Tang Hao’s hand while walking aggressively.

  Tang Hao spoke up awkwardly. “Um… Officer Zhao, I don’t think it’s too appropriate to go to your house?”

  Zhao Qingxue turned around. “What’s so inappropriate about it? I don’t have a problem with it, so why should you?”

  Tang Hao had no response to that.

  Soon, Tang Hao arrived at her house in the residential area nearby.

  “Let me tell you, Tang kid, if you even think of doing anything inappropriate, I’ll immediately throw you in jail!” Zhao Qingxue warned Tang Hao sternly before they entered the house.

  “Don’t worry!” Tang Hao promised.

  Tang Hao looked around the house as he stepped inside.

  It was a two-room apartment. It was rather small, but a sole occupant would have found it spacious. The decor of the place was feminine and homely.

  Zhao Qingxue shut the door. Then, the two people looked at each other. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

  Zhao Qingxue hemmed and hawed for a while. “So… how are you going to massage me, Tang kid?” She asked with a blush on her face.

  Tang Hao came to his senses and coughed slightly. “You’ll just have to sit down. How about you sit over there!” He pointed at a couch nearby.

  “Oh,” Zhao Qingxue replied, then awkwardly sat down.

  Tang Hao went over and sat next to her.

  While she turned her back to him, Tang Hao composed himself, then breathed in gently and lifted his hands.

  He channeled qi into his hands and pressed them on Zhao Qingxue’s back.

  Zhao Qingxue’s body trembled. Her face displayed an expression of utter shock.
