Chapter 225: Jiajia’s Aggression
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Yijia was dressed in rough clothes. Her face was dark and she had a stubble. She was pet.i.te, so the thief did not take her seriously at all.
Shen Yijia frowned. Initially, she thought that since this person had helped her earn 300 taels of silver, she would be gentler when she attacked.
But now…
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
!!
“Let go of me!”
“Don’t hit my face, don’t hit my face!”
“Big Brother, I was wrong. Please spare me…”
After wailing for nearly ten minutes, Shen Yijia picked up the beaten up person and snorted. “I hate it when people say that something is wrong with me. You’re the one who’s got problems. Your entire family too.”
With this delay, Qian Youde rushed over. When the thief saw him, he looked like he had seen his savior and cried, “Sir, I was wrong. Please get rid of this lunatic.”
Thinking of what Shen Yijia had said just now, he said, “Please ask him to put me down. I’ll return the thing to you, alright?”
Qian Youde looked at the thief in front of him in shock. He could barely recognize him. He gasped and inexplicably recalled the beating he had received a few days ago.
Shen Yijia held the thief’s belt and let him hang in the air with his limbs facing down. She spread out her other hand in front of Qian Youde. “Pay up.”
“I don’t have any money on me right no-”
Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. Qian Youde trembled and quickly added, “My servant went to buy things for me. The money is with him. I’ll give it to you immediately when he comes.”
Shen Yijia frowned and pondered for a moment before throwing the thief to the ground. “Where’s the thing you stole? Take it out.”
The thief quickly took out an old pouch from his pocket. He had only done it because he saw that this fatty was dressed well, so he didn’t have time to see what was in the pouch.
Looking at the empty pouch in his hand, he felt devastated.
When he saw the fatty chasing after him so enthusiastically just now, he thought that he had made a killing. Who would have thought that a person dressed that would not even have money on him?
He must have offended some immortals today. Otherwise, why would he encounter two lunatics at once?
Qian Youde’s eyes lit up when he saw the pouch. He took a few steps forward to take it, but a hand was faster than him.
He looked at Shen Yijia in confusion.
Shen Yijia put the pouch in her pocket. “I’ll give you the pouch when you bring the money over.”
Qian Youde was speechless.
What was the difference between this person and this thief?
Oh, that was not right. There was still a difference. This person was a bandit who was more ruthless than a thief.
At the very least, the thief did not dare to ask him for money so openly.
But did he dare object?
Absolutely not.
Seeing that the two of them were confronting each other, the thief took advantage of the situation and ran away.
However, no one bothered with him. Qian Youde felt that the person in front of him was much more detestable than the thief. Besides, the money was not with him.
As for Shen Yijia, she didn’t care what happened to the thief as long as this fatty didn’t run away.
She couldn’t be bothered with the thief at all.
“Young Master.” Qian Youde’s servants came to look for them.
The two of them were sweating profusely. Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. Oh my, they were the same people that she had beaten up.
When Qian Youde saw him, he stepped forward and kicked them angrily. “What are both of you doing? Why did you take so long to buy something?”
Zhu Zi cried out in grievance, “The business of those two shops is too good. Shuan Zi and I waited in line for a long time to buy them, so we were delayed.”
Shuan Zi hurriedly agreed, “Yes, yes, it took forever to get to the front of the queue.”
Qian Youde was stunned and felt a little guilty. He glanced at their empty hands and asked, “What about the osmanthus cake and roasted chicken you bought?”
Shuan Zi scratched his head. “After we bought it, we realized that Young Master was missing. We were in a hurry to find you, so we… lost it.”
“You lost it?” Qian Youde was so angry that he wanted to kick them again.
Shen Yijia reminded him, “Give me my silver first.”
Qian Youde thought to himself, “Since when did it become your money?”
Qian Youde’s eyebrows shot up and he roared at the servants, “Give him three hundred taels.”
When Zhu Zi heard that his young master had spent so much money after leaving for a while, he covered his money bag and reminded weakly, “Young Master, you promised the old madam not to spend money recklessly…”
“I don’t need you to remind me! Is it your money or mine?” Thinking about how he had been cheated of three hundred taels of silver for no reason, Qian Youde was so angry that he raised his leg to kick him again. In the end, he almost fell to the ground because he was too fat.
The two servants seemed to be used to it. They stood up together and used their bodies to stabilize him. Their movements were so flawless that it was as if they had practiced it countless times.
Shen Yijia covered her face. This situation was so stupid.
In the end, Qian Youde used his status as a young master to suppress Zhu Zi’s protests. He reluctantly took out three banknotes worth 100 taels of silver.
Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up and she s.n.a.t.c.hed it over. Without needing Qian Youde’s reminder, she threw the pouch over.
If this happened a few more times, wouldn’t she become a rich lady? She wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to support her beautiful husband anymore. Indeed, it was never wrong to do more good deeds.
Glancing at Qian Youde, who was staring at the banknotes in her hand with a pained expression, she reminded him seriously, “If you want to catch thieves in the future, remember to look for me again.”
“You- you!” Qian Youde was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Why did it sound like she wanted him to hire her to catch thieves often?
Even if he needed help, he wouldn’t ask her to help. Not only did his belongings get stolen, but he also got extorted by this bandit. He would be a fool to do that.
Qian Youde’s eyes suddenly widened. Shen Yijia thought that he was going to faint.
He pushed away the two servants beside him and circled around Shen Yijia in surprise. “You’re the young lady from that day!”
Shen Yijia wanted to deny it, but she felt a chill on her chin. She looked down and saw something black floating down from her mouth.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
What kind of shoddy thing did this d.a.m.n Rooster buy?
Since she had been recognized, Shen Yijia stopped pretending. She stuffed the banknotes into her pocket and raised her chin. “You promised to give me 300 taels of silver if I helped you catch him. I didn’t deliberately cheat you because you’re stupid and rich.”
With that, she headed straight for the horse market.
“Young Master, she said you’re stupid and rich,” Zhu Zi reminded him.
Qian Youde slapped the back of his head. “You talk too much.”
Glancing in the direction where Shen Yijia had left, he chased after her with his fat legs. “Hey, little lady, wait for me…”
As the name suggested, the horse market was a place to buy horses. Other than those big merchants, they usually only brought two horses and waited for people to buy them.
Shen Yijia looked at them one by one. They were all ugly and skinny. She looked at a few shops but did not see any horse she liked.
“Young lady, are you buying a horse? You should have said so earlier. I’ll help you choose one.” Qian Youde had been following Shen Yijia for a long time, but she ignored him. Now that he had an opportunity, he immediately went over.
