imperceptibly, not only them, even Ruyi Pavilion is likely to experience endless troubles.

It’s best for such sinister people to receive retribution.

Zhuang Qingning smirked, “I haven’t been to the town for a while, I will go take a look at Uncle Zhang at Ruyi Pavilion.”

“You go ahead.” Mrs. Cao agreed cheerfully.

Today is not market day, so the town is not very crowded. At this time, the sun has already risen high, and the busiest time in the shop has passed. The rest of the work could be handled by her and Zhang Qiuying.

Zhuang Qingning took off her apron, went to the backyard to wash her hands, and then left the shop.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw several figures suddenly vanish round the street comer and out of sight.

After taking a few more steps, she could vaguely see through her peripheral vision those people sneaking out from the comer and peering back at her. When Zhuang Qingning turned around, they quickly hid themselves again.

These people are rather faint-hearted.

Zhuang Qingning sighed, paused for a moment, then decided not to go to Ruyi Pavilion anymore. Instead, she turned around and walked towards the alley on the right-hand side.

“Did you see where she went?”

“Why are you pushing me? If we are discovered and beaten again, you will have

to compensate me.”

“Alright, I won’t push you. Just tell me where she went. Did you clearly see…” The head that was pushed forward recoiled immediately, blinking a few times, “She walked too fast, I didn’t see clearly…”

“Hey, you little coward, were you actually too scared to look closely?”

“If I’m a coward, then what are you? She really did walk fast, and I didn’t see clearly. But the direction she was heading suggests she was going to Ruyi Pavilion.”

“Big brother, we can’t just keep hiding here, right? Earlier, Manager Zhuang also agreed to it, saying that once the job is done, the money would be given to us. Now that Feng Yongkang has been frightened like that, our job is considered done. We can’t just keep retracting like this, it’s not right…”

“You don’t know anything, Manager Zhuang is a tough woman. If we rashly go demanding for the money, and she happens to be displeased and grabs a rod, who would stop her then? You or you?”

The other two men just swallowed, not daring to utter a word.

Getting hit on the head with a rod, this hurts quite a bit, even more so than being kicked. They really didn’t want to go through that again.

“Look, you’re both scared, and yet you can think of casually asking for money? Listen to me, we need to wait for a time when Manager Zhuang is in a good mood. As long as she’s cheerful, everything would be alright, right?”

“But when would be the right time to catch Manager Zhuang in a good mood?”

“Isn’t that exactly what I’m waiting for?”

Isn’t this the same as saying nothing?

The other two men could only roll their eyes and look to the sky.

“Find what?”

A clear voice suddenly rang out from behind, causing the three brothers to jump up from the ground in shock, and instinctively shield their heads when they saw the face of the person in front of them.

“Manager… Manager Zhuang.” Hu Da found his speech somewhat sluggish, and his hands and feet had nowhere to rest. Feeling it disgraceful to shield his head, he could only scratch his head instead.

At least it seems more dignified.

“Why are you here? Weren’t you headed to Ruyi Pavilion just now…” When Hu

Da spoke, he cast a severe look at Hu San.

Hu San pouted in distress.

He only mentioned that she could be heading there, not that he saw it. He couldn’t be blamed for this.

“Seeing you three sneaking around, I decided to check it out, and sure enough, I caught you discussing something behind my back.” Zhuang Qingning declared.

“No, no, we wouldn’t dare to discuss Manager Zhuang behind her back, haha, haha…”

They didn’t want to bear the brunt, thank you.

“There’s no harm in discussing. You should indeed discuss this matter. It’s only right and proper to get paid for working, and it’s also justified to claim your wages.”

As she spoke, she untied a pouch from her waist, took out the same amount of silver that she had given to the Hu brothers earlier, and handed it over, “Here you go, this is yours.”

Hu Da was overwhelmed with joy, quickly reached out to take it, and kept thanking Zhuang Qingning, “Thank you, Manager Zhuang. Thank you.” ••You don’t have to thank me, this money was originally yours anyway. It’s just a matter of returning it to its rightful owner. I heard Manager Feng is being tormented by nightmares and it’s quite a fright. This is your credit, you have done well.”

Zhuang Qingning took an extra silver ingot from her pouch and handed it to Hu Da.

It took Hu Da a long while before he reached out to take it, and even then, he did so with great trepidation.

He and his brothers Hu Er and Hu San, had been working as henchmen for quite a few years now. They had wandered back and forth between different villages and the town, meeting all sorts of people and encountering a variety of situations.

Usually, the main house that was troubled would mostly endure silently, saying that being at a disadvantage is a blessing, and then there would be no follow-up.

Those who really couldn’t bear it would only curse behind their backs, saying things like being struck by lightning or not dying a good death.

Like Zhuang Qingning, who directly wanted to retaliate against others in the same way, and was so decisive about it, they were quite rare.

Aren’t good people supposed to be easily bullied, and return evil with good? Based on what they saw, can they say that she is not a good person to deal with?

Should they avoid provoking her in the future?

From the looks of it, not only is she generous when she is dealing with matters, but she is also harsh when she’s dealing with people, and if they offended her, she might have a ruthless heart too.

People like her, only because she didn’t bother to care about them, might be able to put them in a bag without their knowledge and get away with it.

Hu Da wobbled as he took the silver, his knees giving in, and he plopped down onto his knees, “Manager Zhuang is indeed a female prime minister, possesses great wisdom, and is willing not to hold grudges against us, which is truly our fortune.”

“Not only did she not hold a grudge against us for what we did earlier, but she was also willing to give us money, I really feel unworthy…”

“I’m really grateful to Manager Zhuang, you are indeed a living Bodhisattva!” Seeing the muscular men in front of her, teary-eyed and full of gratitude, Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air.

Are people nowadays so easily moved?

Especially the local ruffians?

“It’s just some drinking money, there’s no need to make such a fuss…”

They made such a fuss about this, to those who knew they got paid, it was simple. To those who didn’t know, it seemed like she had done something extraordinary and she was their savior.

“Of course, of course, Manager Zhuang rewarding us with money is a show of face for us brothers, we should be grateful.” Hu Da got up from the ground and said.

Perhaps it was because he had been frightened before and then felt grateful afterward. His eyes were teary, and after his nose became sour, snot rolled down..
