Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 967 - 969: That’s Not Our Big Boss

Xiaoxiao nodded; that’s good. Then maybe she could use this identity as the press wife to make the woman in front of her speak.

"That’s all right, I wouldn’t want to share a man with several women. Oh, by the way, what’s his character like? Does he hit women?"

Xiaoxiao thought, she should first learn about the Bandit Leader, and then think of countermeasures.

As they say, one must target the problem correctly; today’s negotiation was a failure within a failure.

Attempting a negotiation without any understanding of the other party, succeeding would be miraculous.

Xiaoxiao’s tone carried fear and unease towards the person she was to marry, which made the woman opposite want to assure her that their Big Boss wasn’t frightening.

"Miss, you don’t need to be afraid. Our Big Boss is different from other bandits; he absolutely won’t hit women, he’s a scholar, one who has read the Sage’s Book. This room is our Big Boss’s chamber, and you can see the books on the table, those are the books he usually reads."

"..." Ah! Ah! Ah!

This room with books turned out to be the Bandit Leader’s, does this mean he’s coming into this room soon?

The person at the door just now didn’t look like a bandit, but neither did he look like a scholar!

Xiaoxiao tried to calm herself down and spoke, "Is that so, turns out he’s a learned person. Just now at the door, I had a glance, and he didn’t seem like it."

"At the door?" The woman looked puzzled.

Xiaoxiao nodded casually, "Yes, I even negotiated with him to let me go, but it didn’t succeed."

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly explained, "That’s not our Big Boss, that’s the stockade’s Second Boss."

"What?" Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe it; she had wasted her negotiation efforts on the wrong person.

From the woman’s words, she was supposed to become the Big Boss’s press wife, but could a Second Boss decide that?

"Then where’s your Big Boss now? Is he coming into this room soon?"

The woman laughed, "Miss, don’t be nervous. Our Big Boss hasn’t returned to the stockade yet, you’ll marry him when he returns!"

"When is he coming back?" This was Xiaoxiao’s most concerning question.

"I don’t know about that."

Though she didn’t get an answer, Xiaoxiao seemed relieved; before the Big Boss returned, she should be safe.

After all, she wore the title of being the press wife, surely no one would dare to harm her.

Thinking about this, the food just now was definitely fine, and wouldn’t help anyways to knock her out; the main character wasn’t here.

So Xiaoxiao opened up her stomach to eat, her belly had protested many times already.

She was enjoying quite a high treatment—a few dishes, each with meat, and they tasted good.

Xiaoxiao wanted to probe further, to learn more things, but outside came shouting, "Yuniang, why is delivering food so slow? Hurry up and come out."

Upon hearing the voice, the woman quickly told Xiaoxiao, "My husband has come looking for me, Miss, you eat by yourself, I must go back."

Saying that, she hurriedly got up, opened the door, and went out.

Outside voices were occasionally heard, "Why so long, did that woman trouble you?"

"No."

"You didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, did you?"

"No!"

"Alright then, remember not to say things you shouldn’t say."

"..."

"..."

The voices gradually fainted until they vanished; fortunately, Xiaoxiao had deliberately lowered her voice in the room just now, otherwise it would surely have been heard at the door.
