Upon seeing her, the boys' already pale faces turned even paler. They struggled to run faster, but all of them fell to the ground. The two who were caught in the same clamp struggled desperately in panic, and the more they moved, the more blood flowed.
"Are you afraid I'll eat you? Would I eat people?"
Qiao Lian'er looked down at him with amusement.
“You, you won’t eat people, but the traps you put in your house will,” an eight-year-old boy said tremblingly.
"You came to my house to steal things, so you should have one of your fingers chopped off."
Upon hearing this, the boys all trembled and begged for mercy.
"Sister Lian'er, we were wrong. We were all instigated by Song Rui'er. We never intended to steal from your house."
"Yes, Song Ruier said that if we come along to steal, she will give us three taels of silver. We just want money to buy snacks."
"I can let you go, but you'll have to work for me from now on. If you do a good job, I'll give you snacks."
The boys' eyes lit up.
"real?"
"What I say goes, but you must do what I tell you to do."
"Sister Lian'er, just tell us what you need to do, and we'll do it for you."
Qiao Lian'er said, "I want you to pretend to be on good terms with Song Rui'er. You have to report to me any moves he makes. Of course, I have other things for you to do, we'll talk about that later."
The children exchanged glances and realized they were being asked to go undercover.
Considering that Song Ruier tricked them and then abandoned them here, why should they bother to be kind to her?
"Okay, I promise you, I'll go through fire and water, even if it means dying ten thousand times."
"I promise you, I'll go through fire and water for you."
Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but laugh. These little brats, what do they know about being willing to die ten thousand times over, going through fire and water? They're just picking up what adults say, and because they're so nervous and afraid of being punished by her, they speak so boldly and arrogantly. But she couldn't help but find it somewhat cute.
They helped them open the animal traps, sprinkled some medicine on them, and wrapped them up with rags.
"Give me your names and ages."
"I am nine years old, and my name is Fusheng."
"I am eleven years old, and my name is Yonglu."
"I am ten years old, and my name is Le Liang."
"I'm also ten years old, and my name is Acang."
This body already had an impression of the adults and children in this village, and now Qiao Lian'er remembered them all.
Each person was given a piece of candy.
The children were overjoyed and quickly took the clips. They then joined Song Ruier in making a ruckus, only to get caught in the clips and bleed profusely.
Following Qiao Lian'er, not only were their wounds bandaged, but they also got to eat candy.
They decided that Qiao Lian'er would be their leader from now on.
"I've recruited a few lads, that's a decent harvest for today," Qiao Lian'er thought.
However, their feet were injured and they would need to rest for a while before they could be used again.
"By the way, you still need to use medicine on the back of your feet. Song Ruier sent you here. You should take your parents and ask them for the medical expenses," Qiao Lian'er said.
The Song family is lawless and will continue to squander their wealth.
“But Sister Lian’er, didn’t you want us to pretend to be friends with Song Rui’er? If that’s the case, will Song Rui’er still be willing to be with us?” said eleven-year-old Yonglu.
