Chapter 7: The Mistress
Jill followed Jona.
The tavern owner shook his head with a smile and muttered, "After all, he is a young man, and he is really in good shape." It's really rare to have a leg disability and be so heroic, and he is indeed a good man with a disability. The next time you sell his wine, you can't mix it with water anymore. ”
After wandering the streets for a while, Jill went to the casino to gamble a few times. At the casino, Jill contacts Jona's owner through a gambler.
When Ruona's owner heard that someone would pay for a broken girl who couldn't do anything, his attitude suddenly changed dramatically, as if Ruona had suddenly become the pearl of his account.
The boss of Yihong Courtyard asked for a sky-high price, and the negotiations were at a stalemate. Jill began to collect his coins, and then pushed Jona towards her master: "Your daughter is so precious, I can't bear to take her away, you can keep her for yourself."
As he spoke, Jill got up and prepared to leave, but the man had never seen anyone dare to talk to him like that, so he touched the tip of his nose. Seeing the boss's code, several young and capable thugs came over and surrounded Jill.
The boss slapped Jill on the face contemptuously: "You want to buy my daughter, yes, I sat opposite you with all sincerity." But I feel embarrassed that you treat me like this, and you don't do the business you said you were good for. Do you know? In the hearts of the Nord people, the contract is more important than anything else. You're embarrassing me, boy. ”
Jill looked at the man expressionlessly, and looked inquiringly at the executioner on the side.
The executioner got a lot of money today. In the second half of the night, he was lucky to gamble and won money again and again, and he thought it was the good luck brought by Jill. At this point, Jill is in trouble, and the runner feels that he must do something to make a good impression on the customer. There is also the fact that the executioner has long been tired of these "rotten people" who control the girls to make money, and has been looking for an opportunity to have some friction with them.
The executioner turned back and beckoned his companion: "This gentleman is in trouble."
More than a dozen executioners forgot to glance at each other when they heard the sound, and then gathered around.
In the afternoon, some of the executioners were greedy for gambling money and did not participate in the first half of the night. They all regretted it after hearing about the good returns, and when they saw that there was another business coming to their door, they all came over to join in the fun.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the boss of Yihong Courtyard glanced at a person beside him, and that person immediately ran away and wanted to run out to report the news, but before he could run a few steps, that person was grabbed by a tall stalker and carried back.
Jill sat back at the table, looking very humble, "Your Excellency, I am also full of sincerity. Today I gambled here for a day, and you see, my luck was not very good, and I lost a lot of money. But when I gambled and drunk, this girl was always by my side, and just now, I won a lot of money in a row, just enough for a girl. She waited on me very well, and she looked a lot like one of my first loves. I inquired about the price, but I don't know why you insisted that I add twenty extra dinars. But I'm still willing to do this business with you, or according to the market price, do you think it's okay? ”
The boss thought about it, looked at the executioners around him, and then walked to Jill with a smile and took Jill by the hand, "Friend, we are just discussing the price, but you have found so many people to be witnesses, your pomp is too big." This woman is nice, although she smells of onions, and now she's yours. I like you, young man", the owner of Yihong Courtyard patted Jill in the face, "I like you, so I decided to cheapen you another ten dinars as a gift for my blessing on your union." ”
The boss of Yihong Courtyard pulled Ruona over, pressed his nose into Ruona's thick hair and took a sharp breath, his expression became cloudy in an instant, and then immediately changed into a loving father's image, "Congratulations, daughter!" I wish you a happy life! ”
The executioners grinned as Jill counted out a pile of coins for the boss and took Jona away.
Jill gave the executioner who called for help a few gold coins: "Buy a glass of wine for everyone, count it on my head".
After swaggering around the casino, Jill walked to the town with Jona.
As soon as she hit the street, Jill pushed Jona away. Ruona, who had regained her freedom, was a little overwhelmed and followed Jill step by step.
Jill turned back, "Go home, I don't have a place for you right now." You can keep as much money as you have left. ”
"I have nowhere to go".
Jill said, "Go back to where you lived." Where you slept before, sleep there today. ”
But Jona still follows Jill.
"Whoever bought me for one night used to sleep there. Now that you've bought me for the rest of your life, where else are you going to let me go? ”
There was no way, so Jill had to take Jona back to the tavern.
Jona smiled, and Jill frowned and asked her what she was laughing at.
Ruona said: "You first swore to let me keep it secret to be your woman, and now you have ransomed me in front of so many people, these can't be kept secret." But, you were glaring at the thief with a handsome expression! ”
Jill is worried about this matter, he doesn't want the foreman to know about spending money to ransom a woman, and once the foreman knows, it will be more disadvantageous to Jill. But in that case, if there were no executioners to press the scene, maybe Jill would be in prison.
Even so, Jill did not regret refusing the boss's blackmail without hesitation just now.
Old Bianwen once told Jill, "Anyone blackmails you, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, you should refuse!" Even if the cost is great, refuse it! The first time you compromise, you have to be ready to compromise 10,000 times, and that's how people get cowardly at a little bit! ”
Before they knew it, Jill and Jona returned to the tavern together, and as soon as they entered the tavern, Jill saw the foreman.
The foreman was drinking contentedly.
Jill stood silently in the doorway and watched for a moment, convinced that the foreman was not suspicious at the moment. So I walked over and said hello.
"Oh! It's Jill! The foreman looked at Jill with a smile, "I'm going to get rich." It's true! ”
"Congratulations, sir".
"Yes, tomorrow morning, I'll go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. You go back to the construction site first, let the people go about their work as usual, and I'll contact the firms of Tiha and Sagos here, and I'll go back in a few days."
"I guess I'll stay with you for a few days! If I don't go back, the people on the construction site won't make mistakes, you can arrange it well, and they can handle it according to the regulations. ”
"En, it's okay", the foreman poured a sip of wine down his throat, "If it weren't for my woman saying she wasn't feeling well, I wouldn't have come back to this place today, hehe, hehe."
The foreman was not lightly drunk and seemed to be in a very good mood.
At this time, the foreman saw Ruona beside Jill, "Huh? You found this '''woman''? ”
"Yes, sir. Yesterday she made me very happy. Today I kept losing money, and then I went to gamble again in the evening, but thanks to this woman by my side, I made a little money, so I bought her. ”
The foreman's eyes widened, "Wow! No wonder my girl scolded you, you really don't know how to be in charge, you only have a few dollars, so you learn from me to make women. ”
"Yes, sir, I have taken note of your words."
"I've been walking back and forth around town this afternoon, why haven't I seen you?"
"I've been in the casino, sir."
"I can't see it, your life is really decadent, it's almost the same as me, it's a woman, and it's gambling. Huh! Young people now! Your leg has something to do with your hobby. ”
Hearing this, Ruona also looked at Jill curiously, and Jill said lightly, "It's because of something else." The child is not sensible, and he is injured when he fights with others."
"Haha, don't hide it. Forget it, I won't ask, you can come with me tomorrow to inspect the goods", said the foreman's eyes suddenly lit up, "I said Jill, my girl can't come tonight, you newly-bought girl borrow me to make up for the night." Anyway, it's one thing for her to return to her free body sooner or later."
Despite Jill's presence, the foreman held up Ruona's chin, "Yo, it looks pretty pretty too."
As he spoke, the foreman prepared to leave with Jona in his arms.
At this time, a hand grabbed the foreman's shoulder.
"Don't do stupid things", the foreman saw Jill's expression clearly, stared into Jill's eyes and said, "Really, you will take money from me in the future, and you have to weigh the consequences when you do things."
"Sir, I can help you find another girl."
"I'm going to want her, you know? Also, you just have so much money, you have already bought this woman back, where did you get the money to find me a girl?! ”
After saying that, the foreman walked upstairs with Jona in his arms, kissing Jona as he walked, and Jona had to look back at Jill with a blank eye, and couldn't stop trying to lift Jona's hand.
Just as the foreman was about to ascend the stairs, Jill walked over and pulled the foreman's arm away, then grabbed Jona's hand and walked outside without saying a word.
The foreman's drunken strength hit his head, and he stood in place dizzy and couldn't walk, so he had to hold on to the railing and cry out loudly, "You stupid, are you crazy? ”
Jill ignored him and continued to walk outside.
Seeing this, the tavern owner had to come over and help the foreman, "Young people are very scary together. When I was young, I was chopping wood in the mountains, and there was a heavy snowfall, and I couldn't bear it, so I walked dozens of miles through the snow and ran to the town to find girls. Forget it, this young man is very responsible, and now he is carried away by love, let him go crazy, we all came here like this, didn't we. ”
The foreman continued to scold.
When Jill was about to disappear through the door, the foreman reminded, "You bastard! Come here tomorrow morning at eight o'clock and wait for me! Don't forget! ”
The tavern owner managed to persuade the agitated boss, then poured him some decanting soup, and sent him upstairs after he had a little more peace.
Jill walked aimlessly down the street, holding Jona's hand.
Now his head is a mess, and he doesn't know what to do. Jona's troubles get involved in Jill's life, much to Jill's annoyance: Jona is likely to ruin Jill's plan.
"Jil, I can call you that, right? Actually, you don't have to fight with your boss, I''ll go back and spend the night with him. Don't be for me''''"
"Shut up!"
"It's okay, you can't help me, you'll hurt yourself"
Without warning, Jill turned around and pressed Jona's shoulder, tossing her crutches aside.
"Listen!" Jill's voice trembled a little, and she pressed her forehead against Ruona's forehead, her eyes staring at the poor girl, "I won't let people take my woman away anymore!" No matter where! As long as she doesn't want to go, then she won't go! As long as she doesn't want to go, then I won't let her go! ”
Remember this phrase from today. Since I have redeemed you, you are my woman, and no one can force you to do what you don't want! ”
