Chapter 963 - 965: Stay and Become the Bandit Chief’s Wife
Hearing this, Lao San and the others grinned. This woman just promised to lead them to earn Silver along the way.
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the man in front of her suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"
The hearty laughter made Xiaoxiao’s ears tingle. Does he not believe her words?
Before Xiaoxiao had much chance to think, she was greeted by the sound of other bandits in the stockade laughing uproariously.
Xiaoxiao was speechless; she had been thoroughly mocked.
Xiaoxiao clenched her fists tightly and bit her lower lip, looking very unwilling. She was determined to convince the person before her, to make them see her in a new light. Just as she was about to speak again to persuade the person in front of her,
the man gestured with his large hand to stop the laughter, "Everyone, stop laughing."
Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. Does she have hope now?
The man looked at Xiaoxiao and continued, "You said you want to lead the brothers to earn Silver?"
Xiaoxiao thought her chance had come. She raised her head confidently, "Of course, I’ll lead everyone in business, so that everyone won’t have to fight and kill anymore. No one wants to live day by day with a knife at their throat, right?"
"You really have a silver tongue."
"I’m speaking the truth. What do you think of my proposal?" Xiaoxiao was also unsure, but she needed to keep negotiating to protect herself.
The man nodded, his face in an ambiguous smile, "Hmm, sounds pretty good."
The Bandit Leader in front of her didn’t seem like a wooden person and probably had some brains, which gave Xiaoxiao even more hope. So, she boldly spoke up, "Then let’s settle on it. I’ll lead everyone in business, strategizing for you to earn Silver. I’m giving you such a big benefit; in return, you have to give me some benefit as well. We’re in a cooperative relationship."
"Oh? What benefit do you want?"
Xiaoxiao was also throwing caution to the wind; facing these bandits, it’s life or death. She might as well find a ray of hope for herself, "Let me go."
"Hahaha!" On hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, the man laughed heartily again. He did not expect the woman in front of him to be so bold and unique.
This laughter made Xiaoxiao feel a bad premonition; it seemed the negotiation was going to break down. It turns out her idea of negotiating with the bandits was indeed naive.
"Why are you laughing? My proposal is all gain and no harm to you. How much Silver can you earn blocking that broken mountain path every day? There are quite a few people in this stockade, right? How do you support them? Do you want the brothers to live on the edge of a knife every day? Even if you want, the brothers might not, who wouldn’t want a warm home with a wife and kids, while eating and drinking well? You really should think about my proposal carefully."
The man had already witnessed Xiaoxiao’s silver tongue, and found himself somewhat admiring the little woman in front of him, "Hmm, your proposal is indeed good."
"So you’ve agreed to let me go? Rest assured, I will do as I say, helping strategize for you all to live well."
The man turned his back and walked into the stockade with large strides, speaking as he went, "Hahaha, your proposal is indeed good, so stay and become the stockade wife’s lady, leading the brothers to live well. It all depends on you."
"..." Eh? What kind of plot twist is this? That’s not right; she doesn’t want to be the stockade wife!
