Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 971 - 973: The Surprise Prepared for the Boss

"Are you still coming in?"

The Second-in-Command glanced at Xiaoxiao, a slight smirk on his face as he spoke with a sinister tone.

"Hehe, hehe." Come in again? She’s not stupid; the other’s tone clearly had a hint of "come any closer, and I’ll kill you."

Xiaoxiao flicked her hair, pretending not to care, and turned to Yuniang, saying, "Oh, big sis, I think I’m lost. We should head back."

The fierce-looking Xiaoxiao from earlier was gone, now replaced with an innocent little bunny demeanor.

Yuniang: "..."

Yuniang glanced over, quickly following Xiaoxiao’s steps, and the two left what Xiaoxiao considered the forbidden area.

Xiaoxiao changed her strategy and stopped confronting them because she realized that if she insisted on entering the forbidden area at this moment like a fool, the outcome would be dire.

If she’s not careful, her freedom in the stockade could be stripped away. She definitely didn’t want that; she’s still waiting for Yang Ming to arrive to work together from inside and out.

――

The Second-in-Command watched Xiaoxiao’s departing back, pondering something, then returned to the mysterious little cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, the third in command complained, "I don’t know what the Boss sees in her. Such a hot-tempered personality, she’s been married, had a kid, and isn’t even good-looking."

"This isn’t something you should be discussing, Third!" Hearing this, the Second-in-Command said sternly.

Originally, he also thought she was unworthy, but after observing yesterday and today, he realized this woman had courage and strategy, not an ordinary woman. She’s suitable for the Big Boss.

It’s just a pity that she had been married and had a kid.

The Third-in-Command was somewhat upset at being told off and also expressed distrust over Xiaoxiao’s behavior.

"Second brother, you’re being too good to her, letting her roam the stockade freely. What if she escapes? All our efforts would be in vain. This is a surprise we’re preparing for the Boss."

The Second-in-Command smirked slightly, "I doubt she could escape. Are the brothers all useless?"

If so many people were outdone by a weak woman, they would’ve lived in vain indeed.

"Of course, I know how capable the brothers are; I’m just worried that if you let her wander around, she might discover something. Just today, you saw her trying to barge in here. With her shrewish ways, the brothers might not be able to handle her."

Hearing this, a flash crossed the Second-in-Command’s eyes. He hadn’t considered that they’re bandits now, and if anything were discovered, it would be troublesome. "I’ll find someone to keep an eye on her."

Hearing this, the Third-in-Command was satisfied at last, "I wonder when the Boss will return. He’s been away for some time now."

"The Boss’s matters are not for us to meddle in. We’ll just wait here!"

Although they were concerned about the Big Boss, they still followed his orders not to question certain things.

"Second brother, do you think the Boss will be angry because we just captured that woman?"

The Second-in-Command rolled his eyes at him, "Since we’ve already captured her, isn’t it a bit late to bring that up now? Wasn’t this your suggestion?"

"..." Okay, he admitted it was his idea; he saw that the Big Boss liked her anyway!

He not only suggested it, but he also captured her.

"Alright then, whether the Boss is pleased, we’ll find out when he returns. There’s nothing much happening lately, so let’s not let the brothers go down the mountain, to avoid being discovered."
