Just when Xia Yi thought that she would not be able to escape this time, suddenly, a loud noise came about. The whole door of Wu Ji's noodle shop flew up along with the door latch, and just happened to smack the door of the shop which was sitting not far away.

Although the door wasn't heavy, the huge impact made Manager Wu suffer. His huge body listened attentively on the ground, and it took him a while before he could stand up with difficulty.

"Mu Lin!"

Xia Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that the person standing at the door was the Xiao Linmu who had been with her for the past few days.

She wasn't clear as to why Xiao Linmu was here, but she was clear that he had been saved!

Niu Dazhi's expression changed slightly. "Who are you? This is a family matter, so I advise you to not meddle in it. "

Niu Dazhi admitted that he did not have the ability to destroy the door to such an extent.

If they were to really fight, Niu Dazhi would definitely not have a chance to retaliate.

"Family matters?" Xiao Linmu frowned as he looked at Xia Yi and asked, "Xia Yi, who is this?"

While staying at Xia Yi's home for the past few months, Xiao Linmu had also met some of his relatives, but they were at most what Mao Cuilan was capable of.

It was his first time seeing someone being tied up like this.

Xia Yi immediately shook her head: "I have nothing to do with him, my wife had already returned the reward money to them."

"Hire money?" Xiao Linmu's eyes flashed with a dangerous aura.

Niu Dazhi stuck out his chest, as though he had confidence, "Your wife has already hired you to my brother, don't think about going back on your word!"

"…"

Regarding Niu Dazhi's words, Xia Yi also felt helpless.

She also knew that people like Niu Dazhi would be more effective with their fists than with reason.

Thus, Xia Yi threw Xiao Linmu a pleading look and simply said, "Fried chicken."

"Deal." Just as Xia Yi finished speaking, Xiao Linmu's answer came out.

Although Xiao Linmu had never taken the initiative to order dishes before, Xia Yi could tell that Xiao Linmu liked the fried chicken she cooked even more, which was why he used this as a condition of exchange.

Niu Dazhi completely did not understand what the two were saying. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a bench flying towards him.

There was no time to dodge at all, Niu Dazhi's stomach was hit by the bench.

The powerful impact caused Niu Dazhi to sit down on the ground.

Xiao Linmu did not seem to plan on wasting his time. In just a moment of effort, Niu Dazhi was tied up with a rope that he had prepared himself.

Niu Dazhi simply did not have any chance of fighting back.

"I'll leave it to you." Xiao Linmu raised his eyebrows.

Xia Yi said indifferently: "Report it to the officials."

Although Niu Dazhi was usually domineering and tyrannical in the village, he had never been to jail before.

He had long since heard that most of the prisoners in the prison were extremely vicious. Once they entered the prison, there was no hope for them to come out in one piece.

Only now did Niu Dazhi and Manager Wu understand the panic.

Manager Wu only had an elder sister, and his nephew had worked with him many times since he was young.

Aside from his own son, the one that Manager Wu doted on the most was this nephew of his.

He kneeled in front of Xia Yi and said: "Miss Xia Yi, I beg you, please forgive me. Please forgive me."

"I assure you, he will never dare to do that again." Manager Wu's tone was solemn.

Xia Yi lifted her lips and laughed, "Oh? Is that so? "How do I remember it sounds so familiar?"

She turned to look at Niu Dazhi, "Really?"

Niu Dazhi immediately shook his head: "I really don't dare to do it anymore.

"Then let me ask you, was Niu Dazhuang's engagement with me dissolved long ago?" Xia Yi asked.

Niu Dazhi: "Right, right, right. I've already gotten the reward, I won't dare to bother Miss Xia Yi again."

"Words have no basis, you have to prove it with a piece of evidence. If anything happens to me, Xia Yi, the officials will immediately come to find you." Xia Yi said again.

At this time, as long as Xia Yi did not inform the officials, Niu Dazhi would agree to any conditions.

"Good, good, good."

Then, she went out with the handwritten words of Niu Dazhi and Manager Wu. Only then, did Xia Yi truly heave a sigh of relief.

"What's with the engagement?"

The moment they walked out of the door, Xiao Linmu immediately asked as if he was extremely interested in Xia Yi's engagement.

Xia Yi could only explain the entire situation to Xiao Linmu, unless of course she occupied the main body of the original owner.

She sighed and said, "Where is the engagement? It's just that my wife coveted the six taels of silver and sold me off without my knowledge."

"So now your marriage contract is decided by yourself?" Xiao Linmu's tone had a trace of an undetectable lightness to it.

"Yes." Xia Yi did not think much of it and only nodded in agreement.

"Why didn't you hand them over to the government?"

Regarding Xia Yi's decision, Xiao Linmu did not understand it at all.

In order to better protect himself and Xia Yang's safety, Xia Yi had specially researched the laws of West Liang.

For actions like Niu Dazhi's, he would at most put up 20 boards and close it for a few days.

Being beaten to a pulp and then staying in the dark prison for a few days was indeed unbearable, but after a few days, Niu Dazhi would still come out.

Niu Dazhi, who had suffered in prison, would definitely not let this matter rest. After getting out, he would definitely come back to disturb Xia Yi, but Xia Yi, on the other hand, was still not safe.

It would be better to use Niu Dazhi's fear of the prison to restrain him.

He would have to think about it carefully before making a move against Xia Yi in the future.

After hearing what Xia Yi had to say, Xiao Linmu gained a better understanding of him.

In that situation a moment ago, Xia Yi was so frightened that she could remain calm even though she was in danger. Moreover, she could even maintain her meticulous thinking.

In fact, besides the reasons that Xia Yi had told her, there was another, more important reason that she did not tell him.

She was very clear that Xiao Linmu was wanted by the soldiers, the reason why Xiao Linmu stayed in her house for so long was to avoid them.

Therefore, it was simply impossible for her to expose Xiao Linmu's identity.

From the very beginning, she had only announced it as an official to scare Niu Dazhi.

"Oh right, why are you at Lingshan Town?" After her mood had calmed down a bit, Xia Yi finally remembered to ask this question.

Xiao Linmu's face did not have much expression, "Coincidentally."

"This is too much of a coincidence, but I still have to thank you." Since Xiao Linmu was not prepared to tell them, Xia Yi would not pursue this line of questioning.

Coincidentally, it wasn't to this extent, but it was still a coincidence.

When Niu Dazhi was planning to go to Manager Wu, Leng Qianjue heard a bit.

Leng Qianjue didn't know that Xia Yi was going to open a restaurant, so he thought it was just something with the same name.

Therefore, Xiao Linmu had specially rushed over.

"I'm going to buy some chickens. You go and do your thing." Xia Yi said.

Today, her mission was to look at the store and negotiate with Manager Wu. Now, her mission had to end early.

"I'll go too." Xiao Linmu followed closely behind.

"Alright."

Xia Yi originally wanted to go around the market like usual, but now that she had Xiao Linmu following him, for her safety's sake, she went straight to the point, bought a live chicken, and returned.
