The way the "head of the household" was unclear at first, and Xiao Qingyin initially thought it was Song Qingshan. It wasn't until she saw the leader make a three-pointing gesture to her that she realized who it was.
It is Qiu San Niang.
The gang members who came in unloaded the wooden crates, which were full of small seafood from the mudflats.
Razor clams, mudskippers, stone snails, clams, lotus seeds, sandworms, pen holders... and many other things that Xiao Qingyin couldn't name.
"They were all just caught," the gang leader said. "Although they are small, they taste very fresh. They are delicious just by boiling them in salt water with ginger."
"Please thank your boss for me."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"Thank you all too, you've worked hard."
She never expected that Qiu San Niang would remember her casual mention of wanting some seafood on the island and bring so much over.
"You are welcome."
He led the gang.
"We're going back now."
Xiao Qingyin hurriedly called out, "Wait, I have something to give to your family, could you please take it with you?"
She went back to her room and wrote down a recipe for herbal tea, which she then gave to the leader of the gang to deliver to Qiu San Niang.
After the gang members left, Xiao Qingyin and Yi Wu borrowed the inn's kitchen to cook seafood and enjoyed another feast.
No one noticed that a waiter secretly left and told the people waiting outside what he had just witnessed.
The people outside relayed the message to Yu Xin'er.
"Did someone in charge send them a batch of seafood?"
Yu Xin'er asked.
"What do those people look like?"
"They look similar to the people in our Qingyun Gang."
Yu Xin'er said excitedly, "They must be from another gang."
She didn't know which gang Xiao Qingyin and the others were associated with, but she quickly came up with a brilliant plan to kill them.
"I gave you a chance."
She thought to herself.
"You refused a toast, so now you have to drink the penalty cup."
If Xiao Qingyin were smart enough to keep her distance from Brother-in-law Song, she would let her off the hook.
She insisted on going up to him, and even won the admiration of Brother-in-law Song.
You can't blame her for being ruthless.
The fruit she guarded for so many years wasn't meant for anyone else.
...
Song Qingshan has extraordinary willpower and perseverance. He insists on rehabilitation training every day, and his knees can bend to a normal range very quickly.
During his last follow-up visit, he was able to sit and walk without any problems.
"Thank you, Dr. Ye."
He thanked Xiao Qingyin with a solemn expression.
Xiao Qingyin smiled gently: "No need to be so polite."
Song Qingshan handed her the pearl that had been taken down and put into the sandalwood box.
Along with it, a large box of pearls was also handed over.
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
Do pirate leaders all like to pay with pearls?
When Yu Xin'er saw the box of pearls, she almost couldn't keep her expression in check.
Such a large pearl, Brother-in-law Song only gave her one when she came of age.
Xiao Qingyin helped him treat his leg, and he actually gave her a whole box of medicine as a gift!
He even gave her the beads he wore close to his body.
He's clearly taken a liking to this woman.
She was furious and wanted nothing more than to rush over and snatch the box of pearls back.
Only when I thought about my own plans did I manage to endure it.
After giving the gifts, Song Qingshan smiled and said, "Besides these, I also have a promise: if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me, and I will help you unconditionally once."
Xiao Qingyin raised an eyebrow.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Don't refuse a promise that's given away for free.
She smiled slightly and said, "Then thank you in advance."
Yu Xin'er almost bit her lips until they bled.
Brother-in-law Song has never made a promise to anyone before, but now he has made one to this woman!
This woman certainly held a significant place in his heart.
She should have dealt with this woman from the beginning.
Xiao Qingyin noticed her gaze and looked up. Yu Xin'er lowered her eyes, concealing her emotions.
Xiao Qingyin smiled, said goodbye to Song Qingshan, and returned to the inn with a thank-you gift.
She showed the pearls to Yi Shuihan.
"As expected of a big shot, he's so generous. One pill is enough for me to buy a house in Beijing."
Yi Shuihan felt a little jealous.
"What kind of skill is it to steal something? It's not like he went out to sea to collect it himself."
Xiao Qingyin found it quite amusing.
She poked the man's chest: "You've never gone to sea to collect pearls for me, have you?"
Yi Shuihan: "..."
Just you wait!
Next time he goes to Southeast Asia, he will definitely bring her a basketful of pearls.
Let her use it to stuff her pillow so she can sleep with it.
It's a pity Xiao Qingyin didn't know, otherwise she would definitely praise him: Good idea, the massage effect of a pearl pillow should be very good, it would be even better with a pearl bed.
She would definitely not find it uncomfortable.
While the two were cuddling on the balcony of their guest room, thousands of soldiers suddenly strode quickly down the street and surrounded the inn where they were staying.
Xiao Qingyin's first reaction was: Zhao Xu's identity has been exposed, and Zhao Hao has come to arrest him.
But then I realized the logic was flawed.
Zhao Xu was still the heir apparent of the Prince of Dai. Zhao Hao only dared to assassinate him; how could he possibly allow the soldiers to arrest him in broad daylight?
Just then, Yi Wu came up and reported, "The county magistrate of Nanyue has brought his troops here. They say we are members of the Hongyun Gang and want to arrest us."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
It's like a pot falling from the sky.
When did they become members of the Hongyun Gang?
But arguing with these officers and soldiers is useless. They have been to Hong Kong and have close ties with the Hung Wan Gang. If the other side insists on arresting them as human prisoners, they will have no way to defend themselves.
Moreover, it's still unknown whether someone is secretly causing trouble.
Could it be a dirty trick by Zhao Hao? Taking advantage of Zhao Xu's anonymity, he framed him as a member of the Hongyun Gang and beheaded him.
