I knew before that being a servant was difficult, but only after experiencing it firsthand did I truly understand the pain.
The saying "goods are worse than people" perfectly describes this situation!
“Give me the silver,” Jiang Nuan said, reaching out her hand. “Give me the portrait as well, and I’ll have someone take care of it.”
"Here you go," Manager Jin said, first taking out the portrait, then reluctantly handing over the silver. "After you buy the person, deliver him to Wuwei Restaurant in the dark. I'll have someone meet you there."
"I understand," Jiang Nuan nodded, then waved her hand. "Alright, you can go now."
"Alright," Manager Jin said as he left, adding, "Don't get the wrong person, it's a lot of money."
After Manager Jin left, Jiang Nuan gave the money to Xiao Si, "Give it to your uncle and tell him to arrange it. After buying the people, deliver them to Wuweilou on your back."
"Mother, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Come back soon," Jiang Nuan said after thinking for a moment. "We'll go deliver the food together later."
When Jiang Nuan came out, the chicken already smelled delicious, and the second batch of steamed buns was being steamed.
“Mother,” Xie Shi saw Jiang Nuan and immediately smiled, “Manager Jin is gone?”
“Let’s go,” Jiang Nuan looked up at the sky. “It’s almost time. I’m going to wash the earthenware pot.”
Ten miles away, Lai Zi, dressed in the official robes of a clerk, looked very serious and imposing.
Old Huang was very surprised to see Lai Zi appear. "You work in the yamen?"
“Okay,” Lai Zi nodded, “The sun is nice here, Second Master, please park the car here.”
"Hmm." Old Man Huang nodded and parked the car on the side of the road.
"Brother Lai," Huang Xiaosan said excitedly as he parked the car and ran over, "when did you become a yamen runner?"
“It’s been a while,” Lai Zi patted Huang Xiaosan on the shoulder, “Did your aunt send you to deliver someone?”
“That’s not all,” Huang Xiaosan smiled mysteriously, “You’ll find out at noon.”
Compared to the Huang brothers' joy, the others looked constipated.
Given Lai Zi's actions, they were worried that they would be harassed.
Lai Zicai ignored their expressions, brandished the whip in his hand in a defiant manner, and smiled maliciously, "Work hard and don't slack off."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Huang's face turned ugly. He wanted to say something, but his grandson grabbed his sleeve.
“Master, don’t speak,” Huang Xiaosan said in a low voice, “Brother Lai is just scaring them, he won’t do anything.”
He firmly believed that Brother Lai was a good person.
Upon hearing Huang Xiaosan's words, Lai Zi glanced at him subtly and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"That third kid is still so naive."
He won't actually do anything, but he can scare people from time to time. Like now, he doesn't have to do anything, and those people are already like frightened rabbits.
"Really?" Old Man Huang asked skeptically. "Would he really be that good?"
Even if he changed his appearance, Old Man Huang still didn't believe that the shameless rascal would become a good person.
That scoundrel who caused chaos in the village over a single chicken—how could he not have malicious intent?
“Really,” Huang Xiaosan winked when he noticed Lai Zi’s gaze, “People in the village have a lot of misunderstandings about Brother Lai Zi. He’s actually a very good person.”
Bah!
Old Man Huang cursed inwardly.
Lai Zi, this kid, is as cunning as an old fox at such a young age. He's slippery as an eel, acts without any rhyme or reason, and is ruthless in his actions.
The village raised him, yet he turned on his fellow villagers; his heart is black inside.
“I don’t think he’ll do anything,” Old Man Huang sighed. “He’s still a villager, we won’t go so far as to kill him.”
