Chapter Twelve: The Best Wangba Soup(2/2)
"The daughter of the people thanks you for your kindness, but you can't repay it in this life. Even if you have to work as a cow or a horse in the next life, you still have to repay your kindness."
As Zhou Niang said, she was about to kowtow.
It turned out that after Xu Tong received her petition, Zhou Niang started to have a high fever when she returned home, so much so that she didn't wake up despite such a loud noise last night.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Niang had a dream, dreaming that her man was back.
After waking up from the dream, Zhou Zhou's mother's fever subsided. When she walked out, she found that none of her neighbors were there. When she walked to the street and asked, she realized how big of an event had happened yesterday.
After learning that Song's relatives and friends had committed suicide out of fear of crime, and that all the damn beasts in Heshensi had been killed, Zhou Niang wept with joy at having her revenge.
When I ran here, I took a look and saw Xu Tong sitting outside the Chenghuang Temple.
Even though he had put on official clothes, he could recognize him at a glance. This was the gentleman who had received his petition.
That's why this came about.
Zhou Niang had a strong temperament, otherwise she would not have dared to risk serious disapproval and claimed that she would be killed in the Chenghuang Temple.
She could remember her great kindness to Xu Tong for the rest of her life.
But she also understood that she was a vulgar girl who had worked in the fields for many years, and her skin was rough and rough. This man must have looked down upon her, and he only wanted to work as a cow and horse in his next life to repay this kindness.
However, what bothered Xu Tong the most was this. When he heard this, he showed a displeased expression: "The things of this life, let's talk about it in this life, and how long will it take in the next life?"
Zhou Niang was startled when she heard this.
Xu Tong didn't wait for her to come to her senses: "I just came to Yuyang City, and there isn't even an old lady around me who can wash and cook. Just follow me and wash and cook for us. I'll pay you three pieces of silver every month."
This was said very domineeringly, leaving almost no room for maneuver.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a pretty good job.
Three pieces of silver per month is the price of a little maid with tender skin and tender flesh.
How could Zhou Niang be ignorant of good and evil, but she looked embarrassed: "I'm willing to be a cow or a horse, no need to give me money..."
"I have to accept it. If you don't accept it, it's just me trying to repay the favor. What if someone else buys it from me in the future? Wouldn't that be harmful to me?"
Who is so full that they can do such a heartless thing?
However, Xu Tong spoke seriously, and Zhou Niang was an illiterate woman, so she was really frightened for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Guo Yi on the side quickly reminded him: "Why don't you thank the prince soon?"
"Oh, thank you Crown Prince, thank you Crown Prince."
Zhou Niang woke up from a dream and hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Tong, but was stopped by Xu Tong: "Get up, I don't like this here. I especially liked your strong energy when you made a big fuss in the Chenghuang Temple. Why do you become so powerful now?"
It’s all gone.”
"She is a daughter of the people, I am fierce and ignorant..."
Mentioning what happened yesterday, Wednesday's mother couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. If the city god hadn't appeared, how could the river demon be killed!
When she thought of this, Zhou Niang thought about going in later to kowtow to the City God to apologize.
"Ding! Side mission 2: Sanniang's complaint is completed!"
At this time, the side task prompt sounded, which meant that the task of Zhou Niang's complaint had ended.
Then my only tasks in Yuyang are to build rivers, make friends with Wu Fan, and the Moda Cult.
However, river construction is not something that can be done in a day or two, and the remaining two tasks are even more missing.
Thinking that Xu Tong had stretched himself and had enough to eat and drink, he didn't stay any longer. However, before leaving, Xu Tong smiled and accepted the pot of top-quality tortoise soup and the cooked tortoise meat.
It's not that those businessmen are generous, the main thing is that they really can't drink this stuff.
If the bones of the body are weak and unreplenished, eating this is no different from eating arsenic.
So I gave it to Xu Tong as a favor.
Anyway, to them, this thing is a rarity, not a rare treasure.
As for the centuries-old ginseng and other precious medicinal materials they raised money to purchase, they are just a drop in the bucket. Everyone raising funds is just to add a sense of participation.
Hey, after all, he is still wealthy.
Xu Tong couldn't help but feel nostalgic again, thinking that it was time for him to be a boy who scattered wealth.
