Chapter 16 I want to be like her when I grow up!
Jiang Nuanzhi came over and pulled up Li Xiaoer and Baozhu, who were washing clothes.
"Didn't I say we wouldn't do any more work for them?"
When Li Xiaoer saw Jiang Nuanzhi, he turned his head away, his eyes red and he didn't say anything.
Jiang Nuanzhi could tell at a glance that this kid was angry.
Li Baozhu was initially a little stunned when she saw Jiang Nuanzhi, but when she heard Jiang Nuanzhi speak so gently, her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't have time to pay attention to Li Xiaoer for a moment. She immediately squatted down and hurriedly wiped away Xiao Baozhu's tears.
"I thought you weren't coming back. My brother and I went to wait for the donkey cart, but we didn't see you. She said you didn't want us anymore and that you went out to find slave traders to sell us. Is that true?"
Little Baozhu's tears fell in a steady stream as she stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi.
"She's talking nonsense." Jiang Nuanzhi said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I was delayed because I went out to earn money, that's why I didn't take the donkey cart back. I promise you, it will never happen again. How about I make big meat buns for our little Baozhu later to make up for it?"
Little Baozhu stopped crying, stunned: "Really? I can eat big meat buns again?"
The little child smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth, smacking his lips and swallowing, his eyes sparkling.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but smile: "Yes, this time I will definitely keep my word."
"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's you, you fatso! It's good that you're back. Those guys are so slow and dawdling with their work. Hurry up and chop the firewood, then wash the clothes. The second young master will be back in an hour, so hurry up and cook dinner too. After you're done cooking, fix the windows, they're letting in some drafts. I heard the second young master sneezing last night."
Chuntao still had her legs crossed, giving her casual instructions.
Jiang Nuanzhi twitched her lips: "I really gave you too much credit."
She is usually very ladylike, unless she can't help herself.
She stretched her wrists and neck, then walked up to Li Junping and snatched the axe from him.
"Hey, give me the axe, and take your younger siblings and stand back so you don't get splattered with blood."
Li Junping was taken aback, clearly not quite understanding what Jiang Nuanzhi meant.
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi walked up to Chun Tao with an axe and kicked over Chun Tao's chair.
"ah!"
A gasp of surprise burst from Chun Tao's mouth, who had been so relaxed just moments before.
"Are you trying to die? What's wrong with you, you fatso?"
Chun Tao rolled to her feet, facing Jiang Nuanzhi wielding a large axe, looking fierce and menacing. Her mind was still a little fuzzy, but her body betrayed her, instinctively taking two steps back. She swallowed the curses that were on the tip of her tongue.
"What are you doing? Put that axe down right now! Do you really want to kill someone?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled, then with a swing of her axe, she cleaved the chair she had just been lying on in two. With a bang, the chair shattered into pieces.
The surroundings fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
Even the two young masters, who were originally planning to leave, were now frozen in place, their mouths agape.
Jiang Nuanzhi never expected that her axe could shatter the chair into pieces. Could it be that she had actually developed true qi through practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade every day?
Chun Tao was terrified and collapsed to her knees, her finger trembling as she pointed at Jiang Nuanzhi. After a long while, she managed to stammer, "Aren't you afraid that the Second Young Master will come back and punish you? He'll be back soon!"
Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed her by the collar and threw her next to the large basin of clothes.
"Come on. Wash these clothes for me. If you don't get them clean, I'll chop off your claws."
Just as Chun Tao was about to say something, Jiang Nuanzhi slammed her axe to the ground with a bang. She immediately and reflexively began frantically scrubbing the clothes in the water, not daring to lift her head.
"Brother, she...she's really scary when she's fierce, much more terrifying than before."
Li Xiaoer swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "If she used that much strength to hit us, wouldn't we have been beaten to death by now?"
Surprisingly, Li Junping nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Wow! She's amazing! Brother, I want to be like her when I grow up!
Li Baozhu clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with admiration.
Her appearance stunned Li Junping and Li Xiao'er. It took Li Xiao'er a moment to react, and he covered his sister's eyes, saying, "Don't look. And don't imitate me."
"Why?" Little Baozhu pushed away her brother's hand and frowned. "Brother, I want to learn. If I'm that good, I can protect you, and no one will dare to bully us anymore."
After saying that, he waved his little fist.
Li Xiaoer frowned and pondered for a while. He vaguely felt that this was wrong, but after looking at Chun Tao, who was completely subdued by Jiang Nuanzhi, and then at his younger sister in front of him, he really couldn't put his finger on why it was wrong. So he looked at Li Junping: "Brother, you should tell Baozhu that this is wrong."
Li Junping squatted down and looked at his younger sister, saying, "Little sister, she was indeed wrong, but do you know why she was wrong?"
Li Baozhu shook her head.
Li Junping smiled indifferently: "If you ever have her abilities, remember that you can never just retaliate against your enemies, but you must eliminate them completely and prevent future troubles."
Li Baozhu opened her big, bewildered eyes and asked, "Brother, what does that mean?"
Li Junping patted her little head: "It's okay if you don't understand now, your brother will teach you little by little in the future."
"Yes, brother, I will study hard."
After tidying up Chun Tao, Jiang Nuanzhi vaguely realized that it wasn't quite right to act like this in front of the children. She turned around and said to the children very kindly, "You can go back first. There's candy in the basket. Take it and eat it. I'll make you some steamed buns later."
Of the three children, Li Xiao'er hesitated, Li Junping remained indifferent, while Li Baozhu happily went to get the candy.
Seeing that the children were a bit further away, Jiang Nuanzhi put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Hey, what are you looking at? Hurry up and do the laundry!"
Chun Tao shuddered in fright and continued scrubbing the clothes frantically.
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "Later, chop the firewood and cook the meal for me. Also, yesterday you lay in my house bleeding all over the floor, making me clean it up for ages, so pay me 50 coins!"
"I...I...I have no money."
"No money, huh? Then come work for me and earn some money."
Chun Tao gritted her teeth and glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi, her eyes full of resentment.
He glanced at the menacing axe in her hand, not daring to move, and said threateningly while washing clothes: "You just wait, the second young master and Afu will be back in a little while."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "I was worried that they would come back late and delay my business."
