Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 997: I’ve Got a Job for You

In the private room, Young Master Ge cursed loudly, "You lousy dog slave! Can’t even hold a dish properly, trying to kill me, Young Master?"

He then tugged at the flashy brocade robe that made people dizzy, "Even if it’s just the sauce splattering on my clothes, you’re a lowlife and can’t afford it!"

Nearby, a man sneered, "This robe is made of brocade, just the fabric costs five taels of silver. How much money can your family stall earn in a year? If you can’t afford to pay us, we’ll just have to sell you to Jiangnan to become an Immortal Lord."

"Ah, this Master Tongsheng selling himself as an Immortal Lord to entertain guests, really is quite a tale. Won’t the storytellers in Jiangnan talk about this scandal for three months?"

Followed by a nauseating burst of laughter.

Lv Bai was sitting on the ground, head down and cried without daring to speak.

Young Master Ge was relentless, spit at him, "Mincing words, still dawdling? Waiting for me, Young Master, to favor you? Young Master doesn’t like your kind, quickly eat the food off the floor clean and go to the kitchen to get a new dish!"

These words were truly disgusting, yet Lv Bai didn’t resist and instead begged, "Young Master Ge, this dish is ginseng stewed beef, it’s very nourishing and expensive, costing ten taels of silver. You kicked it over, how can you expect me to pay for it?"

He also couldn’t afford it.

He came here to work just to earn money to give to those bandits. In a couple days, if he still can’t come up with the money, they’ll...

Wuwuwu, his life was so miserable.

Young Master Ge laughed, "So what if I kicked you? You’re so slow at serving the food, you deserve it."

He leaned sideways on the chair, tapping the porcelain bowl with chopsticks, looking disdainfully at Lv Bai, "You lowlife should just live a life of hardship. How dare you even take the exam? How dare you pass?! Trying to take the slots from us, you should know this is the consequence."

He continued, "I give you two choices, pay for the dish yourself or go to the government gate and bark like a dog for a day, yelling ’I am a lowlife, I shouldn’t take the imperial exam.’

Lv Bai was shocked, "How can you do this?"

Young Master Ge: "Why not? Gu Jin’an made you go to the government gate and shout ’I came from the streets, my family runs a small stall,’ so naturally, I can command you to do the same."

Lv Bai was very angry, but fearing that the people at Shenghe Building would find out, he’d lose his wages for these two days, he could only mutter, "I shouted at the government gate because I lost a bet, and Brother Gu made me shout the truth, but you want me to shout humiliating words... I can’t agree."

Gu Jinli, hearing this, gave Lv Bai some credit; at least he wasn’t completely muddled.

But she praised too soon, Lv Bai might not be muddled, but he was cowardly, being humiliated by Young Master Ge without daring to retort, and instead begged, "Young Master Ge, please let me go, my family is poor, truly can’t afford this dish."

"Haha, poor? I, Young Master, bully precisely you poor souls!" Young Master Ge was so arrogant, continuing to spit at Lv Bai, "If you can’t pay, can’t shout at the government gate, then come with me, Young Master, to Jiangnan and sell yourself."

Lv Bai hearing this was stunned, clenching his fists tightly but still didn’t dare to hit anyone, he continued to plead with Young Master Ge, "Young Master Ge, please be kind..."

Gu Jinli was speechless, You An must have messed up Lv Bai, right? Even humiliated like this, he continued to beg for mercy, she said, "Do you even know right from wrong? The ones at fault are them. Since they kicked you deliberately causing the dish to fall, you should find the shopkeeper and confront them, what’s the use of crying? Will crying make them sympathize with you? Fool!"

Young Master Ge and the gang of playboys hearing this immediately looked towards Gu Jinli, but Gu Jinli was wearing a veil hat, so they couldn’t see her face clearly.

However, these people just loved looking for trouble, seeing she was a woman they began to speak rudely, "Oh, a young lady with a fine figure, does young lady have a boyf..."

The word "boy" hadn’t even left his mouth when Qin San Lang’s knife flew out, directly stabbing Young Master Ge’s hand that was tapping the bowl with chopsticks.

"Ah!" Young Master Ge screamed in pain, looking at his bleeding hand, then at Qin San Lang who walked in with a dark expression, he quickly cowered, "Hero, hero spare me, we’ll never dare again."

Qin San Lang paid no attention, grabbing his collar, and slapped him left and right ten times.

Qin San Lang was proficient in martial arts, and being strong, even though Young Master Ge was a man, the ten slaps left him spitting blood, two teeth flying out.

The gang of playboys dining with Young Master Ge dared not come over to help, they clearly understood a man who would throw a knife to hurt people without saying a word was ruthless and could not be offended.

Gu Jinli laughed, "A bunch of cowards."

She looked at Lv Bai, "Did you see? Some people are just despicable, a good beating will make things better, try it if you don’t believe."

Qin San Lang pulled out the knife stabbed into Young Master Ge’s hand, looking at Lv Bai, he coldly said, "Hit."

Lv Bai was so scared he shivered, terrified of Qin San Lang, he hurriedly got up and lightly slapped Young Master Ge’s face.

Click!

"Use force, haven’t eaten?" Gu Jinli said disdainfully, "Giving you a chance to take revenge and you’re still so weak, are you born of air?"

Lv Bai was terrified of these two intimidating people, quickly mustered strength and gave Young Master Ge two solid slaps, then looked at Gu Jinli, stuttering, "No, can’t hit anymore... hitting more might kill."

Young Master Ge’s face already swollen beyond recognition, hitting more truly might kill.

Gu Jinli and the others didn’t want to cause death either, on hearing it they said, "Alright, let’s leave."

Qin San Lang heard this, wiped his bloody knife with a tablecloth, walked out of the private room, holding Gu Jinli’s hand heading downstairs.

But Lv Bai was afraid and said, "Ju-just like this? What if their families come to investigate? Shenghe Building would be implicated, I can’t harm Shenghe Building."

Also his two days’ wages, there were still a hundred cents, couldn’t be wasted.

Gu Jinli said, "You’re really stupid with all the books you read. If the Ge family dares to bother you, you can go to the government office to sue them, don’t forget you’re Master Tongsheng, you worked hard to earn your official position, don’t you know how to use it?"

She added, "Don’t worry about Shenghe Building, Young Master Ke could open Shenghe Building thus has the ability to safeguard it. As for your wages, do you want dignity or wages?"

Lv Bai hearing this, flushed with embarrassment and eventually followed Gu Jinli and the others out.

The staff at Shenghe Building had already heard the commotion, told the shopkeeper who immediately brought people over, stopped them and politely asked, "Dear guests, what happened in the mysterious star private room?"

He smiled, "Dear guests, don’t misunderstand, we must understand clearly so we can find ways to handle it."

The shopkeeper recognized them as VIPs from the sky-grade private room so he asked very politely, without meaning to stop them from leaving.

Erqing heard this and kicked Lv Bai, "Quickly speak."

Lv Bai stutteringly explained what happened.

The shopkeeper hearing this frowned, took out a coin of silver and handed it to Lv Bai, "I understand, this is your wages, Master Tongsheng rest assured, this matter won’t implicate you."

Although Lv Bai wasn’t very capable, he was indeed Master Tongsheng, so they dared not mistreat him too much.

Lv Bai was stunned hearing this, unexpectedly Shenghe Building not only didn’t blame him, but also gave him triple the wages, truly: "Thank you, Shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper waved his hand, smilingly had the staff escort them out. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After coming out of Shenghe Building’s gate, Gu Jinli asked, "Are you short on money?"

Lv Bai nodded, "Encountered some trouble, had to earn ten taels of silver within five days."

Otherwise, he would be, wuwuwu!

Gu Jinli said, "Alright, I’ll give you a job, once it’s sold for silver you get ten taels, I take three hundred taels."

Had to earn back today’s storytelling money, otherwise she would suffer terribly.
