Chapter 180: Small-minded
They couldn't just stand there at the door forever. Although Yuan Jin had some concerns about their bandit status, with his daughter vouching for them, he let them in.
As Fatty Wang unloaded the honeysuckle from the cart, he muttered to himself, "How did she suddenly become a princess?"
Liu Mazi rolled his eyes and helped him carry the wooden crate: "You idiot, she must have been a princess before she came up the mountain."
Only then did the fat man realize what was happening, and he immediately became worried, lowering his voice: "You mean the Second Master... no, the Princess won't punish us, will she?"
What crime should be punished?
Wang Pangzi was so engrossed in answering his own question that he didn't even realize it was a woman's voice. "Nonsense! We've been holding people captive on the mountain for days, and we even tried to recruit them. Given how petty the second-in-command is, it's no wonder he's punishing us!"
Liu Mazi stared at him silently, then suddenly let go, causing the wooden box, now without a support, to run over his foot.
Wang Pangzi jumped ten feet high in pain. He turned around and was about to curse when he realized that Yuan Siyin was standing in front of him.
"That was a good idea, I'll consider it, after all, I'm not very tolerant."
The more happily he laughed in front of Yuan Siyin, the more Wang Pangzi saw him as someone who wanted to devour someone.
He immediately laughed in a way that was more like crying than laughing. "No, Second Master, I was just talking nonsense. How can you be so magnanimous as to stoop to the level of us roughnecks?"
"Alright, stop joking around, come with me."
Yuan Siyin was just teasing him. After she finished teasing him, she turned around and led the way, guiding the two of them into the tent.
Inside, Jin Cancan sat restlessly on the stool, as if there were nails under her buttocks, unable to sit still no matter how she sat. It wasn't until Yuan Siyin arrived that she suddenly jumped up and strode over to grab her hand.
Normally, he would have been arrogant and domineering, but with Yuan Jin and Si Fangming staring at him with furrowed brows, he was genuinely afraid.
"Father, I've brought the person."
Yuan Siyin lifted the thick curtain and introduced, "This is Fatty Wang, and next to him is Pockmarked Liu. They are both influential figures in Qingfeng Village, considered the second or third in command."
The fat man suddenly felt a sense of triumph: "That's right, isn't my status comparable to the second-in-command?"
Liu Mazi couldn't bear to look any longer, so he turned to Yuan Siyin and said, "Second Master, what brings you here? If there's anything we can do to help, we'll definitely do it."
"Don't worry, these honeysuckle flowers are what I asked you to help with, and you did a great job."
Yuan Siyin beckoned to Si Fangming with her finger. Si Fangming sighed and had no choice but to take out the silver notes from his pocket: "I'm scared of you. It's really not safe to hide them anywhere."
Yuan Siyin smiled and handed the silver notes to Liu Mazi: "Consider these honeysuckle flowers as our purchase. Please accept these silver notes. Thank you for your hard work traveling all the way from Qingzhou."
Liu Mazi and Wang Pangzi exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, refusing to accept the silver notes.
"Second Master, to be honest, if you hadn't come to our village, we might not be where we are today."
The leader also said that he must rescue you. Although it was a joke, everyone remembered the kindness of the second leader and went down the mountain without saying a word.
They say a drop of kindness deserves a spring in return. I, Fatty, may not be good at much else, but I'm all about loyalty!
"I'll repay you tenfold," Liu Mazi whispered a reminder from the side.
"You're so good at talking and knowing so much!"
Fatty Wang was furious and wanted nothing more than to go up and give him a good beating.
