Chapter 31
Shen Jiao turned around and handed the basket to Qiongzhi: "Good sister, go get it first, I'll go..."
"The outhouse," Qiongzhi continued, her brows firm and her eyes steadfast, as she spoke with extraordinary seriousness, "Just go ahead, sister. I'm here. If anyone asks, I'll explain it to them."
"Then I'll go." Shen Jiao felt... she seemed to have guessed something, but did not expose her, and seemed willing to help her conceal her whereabouts.
She is indeed a good sister.
She went there with peace of mind. Not seeing the person she was looking for in the kitchen, Shen Jiao walked around the yard under the pretext of looking for the toilet, but still found nothing.
Were they also driven away somewhere else, or did they just happen to be taking a day off today?
While thinking about it, Shen Jiao actually went to the toilet. After coming out, he went back through the back door for convenience. Qiongzhi had not left yet. She was slowly picking vegetables and putting them into the basket they brought. People who saw her were anxious and wanted to help her.
She still refused, holding up a cabbage and speaking in a particularly pretentious manner, "My master said he wanted something nice, without those black spots on it, otherwise it would be unappetizing when cooked."
What does it matter whether a dish looks good or not?
"Just peel off the outer layers and eat only the heart of the vegetable. It will definitely look good. These are all picked and sent by the tenants. They are all good vegetables. There is no need to be so picky." Wu Yueshan said as he stood aside, suppressing his anger.
Qiongzhi blinked her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Is this true? Are you trying to trick me because I'm young? I don't believe you. I'll ask my sister when she comes back."
"You've never eaten vegetables, have you? What's there to ask about such a thing?"
"I've been paying attention, how would I know?"
Wu Yueshan: ...
She looked like she wanted to kick her to death, her fists clenched and her feet rubbed the ground involuntarily.
Shen Jiao walked over at this moment.
Those people looked at her as if she were a savior, yet they could hardly hide their vigilance.
Maybe I was worried that she would pick some delicious dishes.
Everyone chanted "Amitabha".
"You are her sister, right? You are finally back. Why did you stay in the toilet for so long?"
“…I didn’t know the way very well, so I went around a few times before I found the place.”
Shen Jiao read a kind of doubt in those people's eyes, which was "Are there any normal people in your Liao'e Courtyard?"
But she pretended not to see it, spread her hands and asked, "What's going on?"
Qiongzhi held up the dish and said happily, "Look, sister, I picked out a beautiful dish that the young master will definitely like."
Shen Jiao clapped her hands: "Hey, that's great."
After saying that, he looked at everyone in confusion: "Why are you all gathered here?"
Wu Yueshan was visibly wilting and waved his hands weakly: "Nothing, go ahead and pick it.
I must have been cursed by my ancestors to have met a bunch of damn bastards like you!"
The latter sentence was blocked by someone and was extremely unclear.
Shen Jiao looked confused and picked and chose with Qiongzhi for a long time. After leaving, he asked, "Why did you make such a fuss?"
"I can't help it. They are too kind. Seeing that my sister hasn't come back yet, they want to go look for you. Madam Wu said that such a big person wouldn't be lost, so she gave up. But I was afraid that if I delayed it too long, they would get suspicious, so I had to make some trouble."
Since everyone went to see her, they naturally wouldn’t think of Shen Jiao.
After Qiongzhi finished speaking, she asked, "Have you finished your work, sister?"
"No," Shen Jiao frowned, "maybe not here. Did you see anyone with a scar like this on his face just now?"
She gestured.
Qiongzhi thought for a long time before slowly shaking her head and saying, "It seems so... No, I'll keep an eye out for my sister. What's that person's name?"
"Antai, there's another guy called Wang'er. If you meet him, please tell me. I have something to ask him."
Shen Jiao was speaking with his head tilted.
Qiongzhi was looking at the distance, touched her, pointed over there and said, "Is that the person you are talking about?"
Shen Jiao looked in the direction she pointed and saw a rockery with two big buttocks sticking out in its shadow.
Qiongzhi: "When the guy above walked over just now, I seemed to see a scar on his face."
Shen Jiao handed her the basket and said, "Help me hold it."
Then he tiptoed over, poked his head out from the side, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"ah!!!"
Shen Jiao thought she was quite gentle, but the two men screamed strangely, bumped into each other and fell onto the rockery. After seeing her clearly, they rolled and crawled back. At this time, Qiongzhi threw a vegetable, which hit the man's head accurately.
Shen Jiao quickly grabbed the other one and asked loudly, "Why are you running? What did you do?"
Several maids from the rockery came over to see what was happening.
One of them immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "Great, it's you again. The beating I gave you last time wasn't severe enough, was it? Come with me, let's go talk to Madam Wu and see how she teaches you a lesson."
Shen Jiao thought to herself: There’s no escape, it’s them.
She still asked, "Sisters, what's going on? Just now, when we came over, we saw them crouching by the rockery, peeking around furtively. When we approached them, they ran away as if they had seen a ghost. What's the reason?"
"What else could it be? They're just feeling guilty. Miss Zhao loves to raise butterflies, so we come here every day to catch some. I don't know when these two creatures set their sights on us. They still dare to come back after I beat them up. This time, I have to report them to Miss Wu and drive them out of the farm.
Since you have encountered them, if you have nothing else to do, you might as well come with us and serve as a witness so that we can't be accused of falsely accusing them."
The maid was furious and a little arrogant. Her tone was very harsh, more like an order. Without waiting for Shen Jiao and the others to reply, she ordered someone to drag the two people who were begging for mercy into the main kitchen.
Shen Jiao and Qiongzhi picked up the vegetable leaves that had rolled on the ground and followed behind not far away.
Qiongzhi muttered a little dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't they even say thank you? I helped them catch people for nothing."
Shen Jiao didn't care: "Who cares about them? Let's just do what we want. Whether they are there or not, I will find trouble with those two."
The timing was perfect. Madam Wu was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She immediately sent someone to report to the mistress and asked her to sell them out.
No matter how much nonsense they talked, all they got was a slap in the face, which made them spin around in circles, and their heads became bigger.
Whatever mistakes I made in the past, I don't dare to do them again. I have been honest and well-behaved over the years and have never made the same mistake again. It was just a passing incident and a misunderstanding.
She said, "Pooh, you know that rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, but you don't know that you shouldn't eat grass outside either."
Wu Yueshan regretted it so much that he said, "If I continue to be soft-hearted and bring him back, I will be a dog!"
Seeing that there was no room for improvement, the two brothers with swollen heads stopped shouting and knelt aside with despair in their hearts.
Shen Jiao looked coldly at the human traffickers who came to buy them, but did not go forward.
Instead, he turned back, found Xue Shun and said something to him, then changed his clothes, took Mu Li with him, and followed the human trafficker to find him.
If you pay a little money, you can ask whatever you want.
Antai and Wang'er raised their swollen faces and saw a mysterious woman pushing open the warehouse door and coming towards them against the light. Without saying a word, she raised the wooden stick in her hand...
“Ouch!!!”
In the warehouse filled with debris, screams like those of a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out.
Shen Jiao kept nagging for a while, almost falling off his brow due to exhaustion, before she angrily said, "You're not going to say anything? You two bad guys are so stubborn!"
Wang Er said with difficulty, "Ask..."
"What?"
An Tai held his breath and shouted, "Ask! Just ask!"
"If you don't ask, what should we say?"
The two of them were in tears and looked almost like human beings.
Shen Jiao said in a sly, unapologetically, "Oh, I'm not very experienced, I forgot. Why didn't you remind me? And you were so loud... What are you yelling about?"
She angrily hit them with the stick again, hitting their buttocks that were beaten before they were sold.
To be honest, they are almost numb.
