Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Wicked Woman Farms (11)

Jiang Dasheng probably wanted to argue with Chuzheng, but unfortunately, before he could meet her, he was sent back by the sturdy bandit’s enforcer.

Chuzheng had people re-divide the yard, quickly built a fence wall, and the next day, rebuilt the gate, completely separating it from Jiang Dasheng’s house.

With Chuzheng bring back so many men, the village was abuzz with gossip.

There were kind words and there were nasty ones.

The bandits felt wronged, they were professional robbers, why did they have to do housework here now?

Having money did not mean they could insult their bandit’s honor.

Chuzheng threw silver with an expressionless face.

Bandit: ”...” Please insult their bandit’s honor.

Robbery is risky.

Housework is not risky.

The Bandits Group could only comfort themselves with that thought.

”That Zhang Yuanwai or whatever, he’ll come looking for trouble, won’t he?” Bandit leader Liang Han squatted beside Chuzheng, speaking in a rough, manly voice.

”Otherwise, why would I hire you?” Chuzheng lay on her newly bought chair, sipping tea, and snacking on pastries, leisurely enough to evoke envy.

Liang Han: ”...”

The bandit leader scratched his head, glancing at his comrades fixing things up in the yard.

”You’re so rich, why not hire people from town.”

”You are fiercer.” The Tyrant of the Town was a sight to behold, and the rest were not even worth considering, okay?

Liang Han: ”...”

Should I be happy that I look fierce?

Liang Han thought his employer was a bit odd.

No!

Not a bit.

”So many grown men staying with one young lady, people will talk, aren’t you afraid?” Liang Han made conversation out of nothing.

”The upright need not fear a crooked shadow.”

”Heh.” Liang Han scoffed coldly, ”You don’t know the power of rumors; once they spread, you’ll be pointed at for the rest of your life, not to think of getting married.”

For girls, their reputation was of utmost importance in this era.

Once stained, what often awaited them was their downfall.

”Then I won’t marry.” Chuzheng, the wealthy lady, didn’t care, ”I have plenty of money.”

Liang Han: ”...”

Your employer remains your employer.

But where did she get the money?

Living in such a broken residence.

-

Not two days later, Zhang Yuanwai sent people to pick someone up again, this time with even more people.

Yang Cuicui, afraid of offending Zhang Yuanwai, naturally wanted his men to take her away.

But wishes are just wishes in the end.

As it turned out, Zhang Yuanwai’s men were beaten back by Chuzheng.

This time they utterly enraged Zhang Yuanwai’s people.

Upon leaving, Zhang Yuanwai’s people declared they would never let them off.

Yang Cuicui and Jiang Dasheng were frightened out of their wits.

From across the fence wall, they watched Chuzheng with resentful eyes.

Unfortunately, with bandits standing by Chuzheng’s side, Yang Cuicui dared not approach.

True to his word, Zhang Yuanwai had Jiang Dasheng beaten up when he went out to work after not too long.

The deposit Yang Cuicui had previously received was also reclaimed by Zhang Yuanwai. But Yang Cuicui had already spent it on Jiang Liangye, unable to pay it back.

Unable to pay, and since Zhang Yuanwai’s people didn’t dare to get rough with Chuzheng, they smashed and thrashed at Jiang Dasheng’s side instead.

”We will come again tomorrow. If you can’t come up with the money, we will settle the account with a leg.”

After Zhang Yuanwai’s people made their threat, they left with their crew.

The onlookers outside murmured among themselves.

Initially, people felt sorry for Chuzheng, but in just a short time, the misfortunate ones became Jiang Dasheng and Yang Cuicui.

Meanwhile, the improvement in Chuzheng’s quality of life and the items in her yard sparked envy and jealousy among the villagers.

After the envy and jealousy was speculation laced with malice.

They didn’t care about the truth.

As long as they believed it, then it was the truth.

”Look at Jiang Chuzheng’s courtyard, how did she suddenly get rich? I bet she’s done something disgraceful.”

”Those men are there every day, who knows who they are, tsk tsk, truly shameless.”

”So many men, she couldn’t be serving all of them, could she?”

”Now that she’s suddenly rich, who knows, maybe she’s...”

The courtyard door suddenly swung open, and Liang Han, looking fierce and menacing, stood in the doorway, yelled with a coarse voice, ”What are you saying! Gossiping behind people’s backs, aren’t you afraid your tongues will rot! If I hear you spreading rumors again...”

Liang Han clenched his fist and made a threatening gesture.

The villagers scattered in fright.

Liang Han snorted coldly and slammed the courtyard door shut with a smack.

Chuzheng looked at the door that seemed ready to topple and worried it wouldn’t last, potentially ending its mission prematurely.

”Jiang Chuzheng.”

Yang Cuicui suddenly appeared, leaning over the fence, her eyes fierce.

”You have money, pay back Zhang Yuanwai!”

”Why should I? It’s not as if I spent the money. Why should I pay it back? We’re not close.”

”I’m your aunt!!” Yang Cuicui’s face twisted somewhat viciously, ”Now that you have money, you don’t even recognize your own family. Do you have no humanity?”

Yang Cuicui also wanted to know where Chuzheng got the money from.

But in this period of time, apart from the new additions in her courtyard and those eight tall and burly men, she hadn’t noticed anything else.

”Now you remember you’re my aunt, when you traded me for money, you didn’t remember. When it was time to discuss family, you talked money.”

Now Zhang Yuanwai talks money with you, and you come talking family with me.

As if there’s such a good deal.

”I was just...”

Chuzheng cut off Yang Cuicui’s words, her eyebrows filled with chill, ”You’d better get your legs ready.”

”Jiang Chuzheng, how can you be so malicious!!”

”Jiang Chuzheng, stop right there!”

”Come out...”

Liang Han, holding a wooden stick, swung it at the fence and Yang Cuicui got so scared she fell to the ground.

With so many people in Chuzheng’s courtyard, Yang Cuicui didn’t dare to go there.

”Dasheng, what should we do?”

Yang Cuicui was really panicking now.

If they couldn’t come up with the money, Zhang Yuanwai would really break their legs.

Jiang Dasheng also had no idea, ”I... I’ll try to borrow some.”

Yang Cuicui urged Jiang Dasheng to hurry up and go.

-

Night fell.

Chuzheng, along with two men, returned from the town; the two bandits behind her discussed robbing a store in the town.

Chuzheng listened silently and, when they thought their plan was perfect, she said in a subdued voice, ”You don’t lack money.”

The two bandits fell silent.

The money Chuzheng gave them was enough not just to provide for themselves, but for the entire bandit group as well.

Silly and rich, the fool of a rich family, probably referred to someone like her.

[Hidden Task: Please obtain one Good Person Card from Qiu Ya to prevent Qiu Ya’s corruption.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Not saving anymore?

[He’s not corrupted yet.] King’s Account responded, speechless.

Chuzheng: I think corruption is better, spares me from saving a weakling every time, self-reliance is important.

[... What a hammer!]

Chuzheng: Bastard, be civilized.

[...] I am a civilized System, stay calm, can’t stoop to the level of such a scumbag!

Chuzheng glanced around: Where’s my Good Person Card?

[...]

Find it yourself.

The King’s Account was throwing a fit, not willing to engage with Chuzheng anymore.

Chuzheng indifferently: Oh, going to sleep then.

[...]

I really have had it with this!!
