No, getting beaten was not in her nature. Xiaoxiao had a sudden stroke of inspiration, it was still best to get them drunk first, buy so ti and find soone to co help.
"Big brothers, look how late it is already. You’ve co from far and haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I show you my cooking skills? We can talk about the pickled cabbage while we eat?"
The burly man thought for a mont, "Alright then, serve us so good food and drink, and be quick about it."
"You got it! I’ll get right on it!"
Xiaoxiao quickly signalled to Yang Ming with her eyes to follow her, then she dragged Third Auntie out the door.
"Wife of Yang Ming, what do we do now!" As soon as Third Auntie was outside, she grabbed Xiaoxiao anxiously.
"Third Auntie, don’t panic. They’re here for the pickled cabbage recipe, they can’t do anything to Yang Wei!"
She couldn’t give away the recipe or hand over the person. With no one else at ho since Third Uncle and the rest had gone to sell tofu, the only option was to stall for ti and call for help.
"Yang Ming, go ho and bring all the best food you can find, and as much wine as possible. We’re going to get them drunk first. Find so paper, and I’ll look for an opportunity to switch out the indenture contract!"
"Third Auntie, you go find people. If all else fails, having more people will make it easier to do sothing. If it cos down to it, we’ll fight. When you’ve brought people back, don’t alarm them, just keep them waiting at the neighbor’s house!"
Before long, Yang Ming had brought back the food. Xiaoxiao was busy in the kitchen, and Third Auntie had also co back with help, getting everyone arranged.
The table was set and once the al was ready, Xiaoxiao hurried to organize the burly n to sit down to eat.
"Big brothers, sorry for the wait. Please, take a seat for the al! We’ve prepared good wine for you!" Xiaoxiao said, showing them a jug of wine.
The n looked at it and sniffed, "Good wine! Slls pretty good too! Just seems a bit little."
"Big brother, there’s more, don’t worry. You’ll have enough," Xiaoxiao assured them.
The burly n started to eat and drink, making quite so noise with their eating.
"Big brother, how co you don’t play finger guessing gas while drinking? It’s much more fun that way!"
"Finger guessing ga? How’s that played?" the leader asked.
"Finger guessing, that’s when two people extend a hand and either show a fist or one to five fingers, representing the numbers from zero to five..."
Xiaoxiao carefully explained to them how the ga worked, needing them to lose and drink until they were confused.
"Got it yet?"
"This is fresh, let’s hurry and try it out!" the burly man said excitedly.
Xiaoxiao didn’t care about maintaining a ladylike image anymore, placing one foot on a stool.
"Brothers!"
"Heads of Five!"
"Big brother, you lost, let fill your cup." Xiaoxiao poured the wine as she spoke, and the burly man downed it in one gulp, "Another round!"
"Smooth and Six!"
"Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!"
"Little sister, it’s your turn to lose, co on!"
Xiaoxiao took the drinking cup and emptied it in one go, "Another round!"
"..."
"..."
The other burly n had also started finger guessing, the room filled with their loud and high-spirited voices. Third Auntie and the others stared dumbfounded, not daring to make a sound, as Yang Ming’s wife drank with the n as if she were one of them.
Watching his wife drink one cup after another, Yang Ming stepped forward to replace her, "I’m fine, don’t worry about , I’m the type who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
"Sister, you truly are a heroine among won! Co on, another round!"
"..." Clearly, the wife was drunk now, as she was already treating the n as brothers!
"Big brother, my wife has had too much to drink. Let play the finger guessing ga with you," Yang Ming offered.
"You? A delicate scholar, do you think you can handle it?" the burly man looked at Yang Ming with disdain and said.
Suddenly, Yang Ming, just like his wife, placed a foot on the stool, "Let’s go!"
