Chapter 18: A Dead Duck's Mouth



"Taking things without asking is a thief. You're acting so confidently as a thief. Aren't you afraid of corrupting your children?"

"Who are you calling a thief?" the woman said angrily, "Young Master invited so many people to dinner yesterday, so what's wrong with him treating everyone else today?"

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, her eyes filled with displeasure.

She had seen such shameless people before in the end of the world.

But at that time she had a bad temper and killed anyone she saw.

But now, she is still young and does not want to cause more trouble.

But she would feel bad if she didn't teach such a person a lesson.

Luye saw her expression and knew that she was angry, so he reached out and pulled her sleeve.

"Forget it, she's probably very hungry, let her eat!"

"Did you hear that? It was the young master who asked me to eat this. Humph!" The woman snorted coldly and turned to look at Luye: "Young master, these dishes are not enough to fill our stomachs. Why not add a few more dishes!"

"OK!"

This time, without waiting for Luye to speak, Su Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

The woman glanced at her, not understanding why she suddenly changed her attitude.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice again.

"Waiter, our distinguished guests have arrived, why haven't you ordered yet?"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The waiter stepped forward quickly.

When the woman saw Su Xiaoxiao smiling, her doubts gradually dispelled.

She was just a lowly slave, and probably because she saw that her master had agreed, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Thinking of this, the woman smiled smugly and ordered a large table of dishes without hesitation.

If you have money to treat others, but don’t eat a little more, it would be a shame!

Most of the dishes the woman ordered were meat.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one and handed the chopsticks to the woman.

The woman was not polite and sat down and ate big mouthfuls of food.

Seeing her eating with relish, Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly.

"Young Master, let's go!"

"good!"

Shikano responded and went to the counter to pay.

Su Xiaoxiao watched the shopkeeper fiddling with the abacus beads and said, "Shopkeeper, you could count more carefully and not charge other people's food to my young master."

"this……"

The shopkeeper turned and looked at the large table of dishes.

Su Xiaoxiao understood what he meant and smiled slightly.

"You just saw it. We didn't eat a single bite of the food on that table. Whoever ate it should pay. If you can't pay..." Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at the woman: "Sell it to the trafficker. It should be enough to pay off the debt."

Su Xiaoxiao's words fell into the woman's ears.

She was startled and looked up suddenly.

"Little girl, what do you mean?"

"Whoever eats should pay. Isn't that clear enough? Do you want me to call the government officials and explain it again in front of the officials?"

"I……"

The common people are afraid of officials, so the woman was naturally afraid of bringing the matter to the government office.

But she was unwilling to be tricked by a little girl, so she turned to look at Luye.

"Young Master, you can't leave. This huge table of food must cost a lot of money, and I don't have the money to pay for it! Please be kind and pay for us before you leave!"

Shikano met her eyes and touched his purse.

Su Xiaoxiao saw his actions.

I know that Shikano is a person who has a bad mouth, but his heart is very kind.

If he paid the money for the woman today, she would definitely take advantage of him in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao held Lu Ye's hand.

"If you don't want to be pestered, just follow me!"

"You can't leave! You can't leave!" The woman rushed forward, but was stopped by the waiter: "You are the master, how can you listen to a lowly maid?"

The woman's voice completely made Luye make up his mind.

A man who could even call a slave a lowly servant certainly did not deserve his sympathy.

His eyes turned cold and he grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

"She's not my maid, but my friend. You cursed her so harshly, why should I pay for you?" Lu Ye turned to look at the shopkeeper: "I won't settle this woman's account. If selling them isn't enough to cover the price of the vegetables, you can go to my house and find my father, he'll make it up."

After saying that, Luye took Su Xiaoxiao and turned to leave the inn.

Seeing that her last lifeline was gone, the woman fell to the ground helplessly.

With Lu Ye's promise, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the Lu family was wealthy.

Since Luye gave him a guarantee, he would not let the inn lose money.

"Waiter, keep an eye on them. I'll go get the human traffickers!"

Luye changed the inn according to Su Xiaoxiao's suggestion.

At dusk, after Su Xiaoxiao finished her meal, she told Luye, "I'm going out for a while. You stay in your room and don't go anywhere!"

Luye stood up suddenly: "Where are you going?"

"I haven't seen my brothers for two days, and I'm a little worried. I want to go back and take a sneak peek."

"No... No, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone. I'd better go with you."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Are you so scared?"

"Nonsense, I'm worried about you!"

"I don't have any enemies, don't worry, just go back to your room!"

Having said that, Su Xiaoxiao turned and walked out.

Luye looked up at the beams of the house, and suddenly the image of a dead cat popped up in his mind.

He swallowed fearfully and quickly followed.

"Take me with you. If you encounter danger, I can protect you!"
