Chapter 43 Code Name Bell (4)
"Miss, young master, this is courtyard number twenty-eight!" the rickshaw driver said as he stopped.
"Thank you!" Wangyou paid the driver the fare, and the driver quickly left.
"Sister, are we going to live here from now on?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be!" Wangyou patted Changle's head and looked around the courtyard.
I didn't expect it to be a detached house, separated from the neighbors by a distance. This makes things much more convenient, so that if I do something, no one can climb over the wall to watch.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Wangyou took out her key and prepared to open the door.
"Hey, where did you kids come from? What are you doing standing here!" A woman in a cheongsam with heavy makeup ran over and said, followed by several big men.
"This is my home, you say we can't stay here!" Wangyou said, looking at the group of people who seemed to have ill intentions.
"You think it's your house just because you say so? Go away, get out of here! This is my yard, or I'll have someone beat you up!" A hint of guilt flashed in the woman's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"You say you own this courtyard, do you have a land deed? Why don't we go to the police station and talk about it!" Wangyou put down her bag and stretched her wrists as she spoke.
"Ah Da, Ah Er, give these two little bastards a good beating!" The woman's eyes were full of ferocity. She had never been afraid of two little girls.
"Changle, take our bundles and turn around!"
"elder sister!"
"Listen to me, cover your ears, close your eyes, count, stop when you reach one hundred. Don't turn around unless I call you, or I'll get angry!" Wangyou patted Changle's head and smiled gently.
"Sister, I'll be good, please don't be angry!" Chang Le hurriedly turned around, covered her ears, and closed her eyes.
"You, one at a time, or all at once!" Wangyou said, one hand on her hip and the other like she was beckoning a dog.
"Ah Da, Ah Er, give her something tough, but don't hit her in the face. With that bone structure, the Paramount will probably love it!" the woman said maliciously.
Upon hearing this, Ah Da and Ah Er rushed forward together. The two were quite large, and the strength of adult men was not to be underestimated. However, fortunately, the two only knew a little bit of basic kung fu, and Wang You quickly took them down with her experience.
As for the fat woman, Wangyou grabbed her hair and slapped her hard across the face. "I've only just arrived in Shanghai and I've already run into a scoundrel like you. You talk about the Paramount so familiarly, you must have ruined plenty of good girls before!"
"I've already given you face, and you still dare to make a move on my brother and me? Tell me, do you dare to do it again!"
"No, we won't dare again!" The three men, with swollen cheeks and missing limbs, were beaten like grandsons by Wangyou, which surprised the people nearby.
"My brother was frightened by you, so it's not unreasonable for him to ask for some compensation for emotional distress!"
"What exactly is this compensation for emotional distress?"
"You don't need to know what it is, you just need to pay up!"
How much do you want?
"That depends on how many dollars your lives are worth!"
"This is all I have, it's all yours!" The fat woman bent down to pick up her bag from the ground, and shakily pulled out a wad of banknotes.
"This little bit of money is nothing, you think you can give a beggar a penny?"
"I'll bring it to you when I get back!" A venomous glint flashed in the fat woman's eyes. Once she found the person, she would make that brat pay.
"Do you think I'm stupid!" Wangyou slapped him across the face. "Still trying to play mind games with me? Right now, you're thinking about going back and finding more people to kill my brother and me!"
"No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean that, but I really don't have any money on me. How about I make a call and have you bring the money over?"
"No need!" Wangyou took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out three pills, and then pinched their mouths shut and fed them to them. "Go back and get them yourselves!"
What did you feed us?
"Poison! This poison is called Drunken Beauty. The moment you die, your beauty will reach its peak!" Wangyou's voice was like a demon from hell, terrifying the woman so much that she lost control of her bladder.
"Ugh, you're so inconsiderate!" Wangyou glanced at the woman with disdain, then took a few steps back. In just a short while, all three of them were poisoned.
"Ah!" The three of them huddled together, and to their utter despair, they couldn't even make a sound, and could only wait in agony.
Fifteen minutes later, the effects of the poison wore off. "This poison takes effect every seven days, and each time the onset lasts an hour longer. It will probably take about a month for the person to pass away!"
"I'll go back and get the money right now. Please spare my life! I promise I will never, ever cause you any more trouble!"
"Then you'd better hand over the money first. Remember, I only want silver dollars and gold; paper money is out of the question!" Wangyou smiled. "Oh, and before you leave, clean up the filth around the entrance!"
After saying that, Wangyou stopped looking at the three of them, took the key, opened the courtyard gate, and led Changle inside.
The yard was clearly uninhabited for a long time, overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, the house hadn't been occupied beforehand, otherwise, if someone had moved in, she could have designed the yard herself.
"Sister, this place is so dilapidated!" Chang Le looked at the place where there was nowhere to step and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Wang You's hand.
"It's really dilapidated. We need to find someone to clean it up. If the two of us clean it, we probably won't be able to stay there until dark!" Wangyou didn't really want to do any work. Having lived a life of luxury for three lifetimes, she had never done any housework before.
"Then, sister, why don't we pull the weeds first!"
"No, let's go outside and ask someone to help us clean up!" Wangyou pulled Changle out of the courtyard and walked straight towards a house.
As for those three people, they were long gone, but the entrance area was cleaned up.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Who is it?"
"Grandma, hello! We are the owners of the new house that just moved in. We'd like to hire someone to tidy up our yard. Could you please help us find someone? I'll pay you for your help, half a dollar per person per day!"
"Okay, wait a minute, Grandma promises to find you the most efficient workers!" Upon hearing about such a high salary, the old lady didn't even have time to invite Wangyou and Changle to sit down before rushing out to find people.
Wangyou looked around at the furnishings of the courtyard. Although there was no one in the courtyard now, judging from the layout, there was definitely more than just this old lady living there. The others must have gone to work.
As for why Wangyou sought out this old woman, it was because when Wangyou beat those three shameless bastards, the old woman was watching the spectacle from the top of the wall, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Generally speaking, these gossipy old ladies are the most well-informed and have a good reputation. They're always looking for someone to help them forget their worries, and this is exactly what they've found.
"I'm coming!"
A moment later, a commotion arose, and the old lady led a group of people in. "Girl, my surname is Chen, you can just call me Grandma Chen. I've already found the people for you, I guarantee they're all good at doing chores, and they'll definitely make your house look beautiful."
"Thank you for your trouble, but I don't provide meals!"
"No need to provide meals. Half a dollar is something they might not earn in ten days!" Grandma Chen said generously, waving her hand.
"Then I'll have to trouble you uncles, aunts, and uncles!"
"Thank you, uncles and aunts!" Chang Le added.
"Let's go, everyone get to work and try to get someone to stay tonight!"
