Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Work to Repay Debt
Xia Chengzong was extremely frustrated.
“What exactly do you want?” He hated his stupid, ever-smiling face!
Finally, they got to the point.
Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled and said, “Simple, you work at my shop and use your wages to pay off the debt.”
“Only one yuan? You want me to work for you?” Xia Chengzong looked at him in disbelief.
Waving his hand, Xia Chuyi said, “You know it’s just one yuan, but look at you, mixed up in Jianghu, you can’t even produce one yuan. It’s better to work for me!”
Xia Chengzong fell silent.
Indeed, following Brother Qiang, he could always eat and drink well and live leisurely, but it was always Brother Qiang who paid.
“…Just one yuan, according to the county’s wage level, I’ll help you for at most three days!”
She answered too quickly, Xia Chengzong immediately looked at her suspiciously.
Xia Chuyi remained calm as usual.
“What about the antidote?” Xia Chengzong hurriedly asked, still most concerned about that.
“What? Antidote?” She widened her eyes in surprise, “Brother, have you been reading too many comics? The little drug I gave you, just go to the toilet a few more times and you’ll flush it out!”
She said this with utter nonchalance.
“No antidote needed?” Xia Chengzong repeated dumbfoundedly.
“There really isn’t any need.” Xia Chuyi calmly replied.
Xia Chengzong finally realized he’d been tricked.
“Xia Chuyi, you are too despicable!” He said through clenched teeth, full of hatred.
“Brother, I don’t like to hear that, from start to finish, I was just following your words.” Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, posing as if she was about to lecture, “Look, you asked me what drug I gave you, and I answered.”
“You asked me why, and I said it was because I was afraid you wouldn’t pay your debt.”
“You asked what I wanted, and I said I wanted you to work off the debt.”
“From start to finish, you never asked about the antidote.”
“Brother, I advise you, don’t focus on what you shouldn’t, life isn’t a novel, where does all this mysterious mumbo-jumbo come from?”
Xia Chuyi said earnestly.
Xia Chengzong was furious, but he couldn’t control his body’s buoyancy, his face turning red with frustration and discomfort.
Seeing him reluctantly coming to terms, Xia Chuyi clicked her tongue and shook her head, “Looks like you aren’t planning on keeping your promise?”
“It doesn’t matter, after all, your big room’s people, turning their backs and playing dirty isn’t the first or second time.”
“You!” Upon hearing this, Xia Chengzong immediately became angry, but his facial muscles just couldn’t adjust to an angry expression.
Taking a deep breath, he gave up struggling and said, “Fine, I’ll work for you! Who am I afraid of!”
“Anyway, I don’t know how to work; I’ll just supervise for you, supervise for two days, and then we’ll call it even!”
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled obediently and said, “Okay.”
She was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
Xia Chengzong looked at her, wanted to say something, but ultimately gave up.
This cousin of his was incredible, not seen for long, and now whatever he says or does, she ends up leading him by the nose.
He was supposed to settle scores, yet not only did he fail to get what he wanted, but he also ended up immersed in her schemes.
Forget it, it’s time to leave!
Not wanting to stay another second, he quickly turned and ran away.
“Second cousin, I’ll notify you about the shop’s opening time after the New Year!” She called out from behind as he bolted.
Xia Chengzong stumbled nearly falling.
Clapping her hands, Xia Chuyi revealed a sly smile.
Turning back to the house, she had barely turned around when she saw a dark head leaning by the door.
“Sis, you are really awesome!” Zhao Xiaogui said sincerely.
A few words, and she had Xia Chengzong completely handled.
He was often cleaned up by her, it was only to be expected.
“Sis, you being so fierce, how will you ever get married… Ouch!”
Xia Chuyi hit him hard.
Still needed a beating.
Back in the room, she briefly reported the events to her uncle and aunt—naturally omitting the details, just the overview.
