Transmigrated as a Stepmother: Time to Bring the Family to Prosper!-Chapter 280 - 279: Heavy Blow

Qin Yao looked up and saw the rice shop assistant hobbling over with seventy or eighty people.

One hand covering his swollen face, he occasionally turned back to nod and bow to the pale, fat man being carried on a bamboo chair behind him, while pointing ahead and saying:

"Mr. Wu, it’s her! This woman led a group of bumpkins and smashed our rice shop!"

Wang Mawu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, but from several hundred meters away, he couldn’t see what the woman looked like at all.

Yet he could clearly feel her cold and scrutinizing gaze, frowning immediately, knowing she was definitely a tough opponent.

Thinking of the culprit who attracted this tough opponent, Wang Mawu picked up the back scratcher in his hand and smashed it hard on the forehead of the assistant below!

Through gritted teeth he cursed, "How did you handle things, you brat? I told you hundreds of times, investigate before taking action! Did you investigate your father’s crotch?!"

The assistant covered his head and quickly admitted fault. Seeing him begging for mercy and spitting blood, Wang Mawu dismissively waved the back scratcher, "Get lost!"

After all, he was not beaten again, so the assistant quickly retreated to the back, lowering his head to suppress the fear and anger in his heart.

On Qin Yao’s side, seeing the other party come with seventy or eighty people, Liu Bai quickly whispered to her, "Shall we run if a fight breaks out in a while?"

The number was quite unexpected, so Qin Yao waved her hand, "No need to run, with me and Ah Wang, and all of you, these seventy or eighty people are not to be feared."

Suddenly called upon, Ah Wang’s face, normally without expression, couldn’t help but show a hint of bitterness at being seen through, but he did not refute Qin Yao’s words.

However, Liu Bai and others were quite surprised, not understanding why Qin Yao thought so highly of the seemingly foolish Ah Wang.

Qin Yao thought Wang Mawu was really formidable, but it took him two quarter-hours to summon these seventy or eighty people?

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Just as Wang Mawu and his group arrived in front of them, they overheard her ambiguous chuckle.

Before Wang Mawu could say anything, his seventy or eighty men immediately glared fiercely, upon a gesture from Wang Mawu’s lead thug, surrounding Qin Yao and others waiting at the rice shop’s ruins.

The people of Liu Family Village were also not to be outdone, gripping their weapons tightly, as Miss Qin had just said, these seventy or eighty people were not to be feared!

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Wang Mawu lazily shouted, "Be polite to the young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Wang immediately felt the big master Liu Ji on his shoulder staring wide-eyed, though his eyes were so swollen only a slit remained, his breath became rapid.

Sure enough, in the next second, the big master in his arms yelled at Wang Mawu: "Who’s your damn young lady!"

Wang Mawu looked over in shock.

Liu Ji: "Do you know who she is? Just saying her name would scare you to death, you overfed pale bun!"

The veins on Wang Mawu’s forehead jumped several times as he squinted his eyes dangerously, gritting his teeth to question:

"Please, introduce a bit, let us hear how frightening she is."

Liu Ji chuckled coldly twice, raising his bruised finger to point at Qin Yao,

"This is Qin Yao, the General Manager of our Liu Family Village! You heard right, the bandit-slaying heroine Qin Yao, who confronted Xiang Wang and other bandit leaders alone and triumphed!"

Qin Yao’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, looking displeased at Ah Wang.

Ah Wang felt a chill in his heart, quickly dragging the big master to Liu Bai and Liu Fei, covering his mouth.

Liu Ji glared at Ah Wang, but with almond-shaped eyes unable to express a flicker of ferocity, Ah Wang looked steadily forward, pretending not to see.

Wang Mawu was truly startled in his heart, but soon felt reassured again. She’s just a village woman with some strength, without background or backing, nothing to fear.

Feigning embarrassment, he laughed, "Oh, it’s Miss Qin, such an honor, such an honor; see here, a misunderstanding caused by our unruly subordinates—please don’t take it to heart!"

"However..." Changing his tone, his expression turned cold again, "What, after all, did our rice shop do to offend you, so much so that you had to smash it?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Are you pretending, old bun?" Qin Yao suddenly shot a question back, catching Wang Mawu completely off guard.

Didn’t she ought to apologize conveniently, allowing them to renegotiate, him not pursuing, and her smartly backing off?

Seeing Wang Mawu’s expression, Qin Yao knew what he was thinking, her apologize? Ridiculous!

She couldn’t even be bothered to waste words with him; since the other party was so tactless, she didn’t want to waste her time.

Qin Yao rose from the stake, smoothing her lifted clothes, picking up the heavy long nail in her hand, her eyes locking straight onto the rice shop assistant hiding behind the lead thug,

"Did you deliver my message or not? Where’s what I asked for? The wheat, the wagons, and the hundred taels of compensation for medical expenses, where are they?"

The rice shop assistant nodded furiously, he had indeed passed on what she asked, but how could he control whether Mr. Wu listened?

Under Qin Yao’s sharp gaze, the assistant shrunk back further; he was truly terrified of this living King Yan that was Qin Yao.

But somehow, a premonition rose within him, Wang Mawu was going to fail today.

With this thought, an exhilarating sense of revenge welled up inside him.

"Since you said it, old bun, where are the things I want?" Qin Yao shifted her gaze to the livid Wang Mawu.

Wang Mawu could barely believe his ears, completely missing the point, gritting his teeth angrily questioning, "What did you call me?"

"Called you old bun, so what?" Qin Yao looked at him with amusement, his well-fed rotundness, squashed with folds of loathsome wrinkled skin, if not an old bun, then what!

Wang Mawu exploded in a frenzied scream, immediately looking at his lead thug, commanding, "Beat this wretched woman to death for me!!!"

Both sides tensed up instantly. Seeing Wang Mawu’s men move, Ah Wang immediately retreated with his big master, the speed so quick, they disappeared as only a blur, the two living people vanishing from the spot.

The people of Liu Family Village weren’t slow to react either, immediately raising their weapons prepared for a full battle with the opponent’s men.

But they barely raised their weapons when Qin Yao dashed forth like lightning, swiftly reaching the lead thug.

Under the thug’s terrified gaze, she lifted the entire person high with her left hand and slammed him violently onto the ground!

The long nail in her right hand plunged down immediately, piercing the throat!

She twisted it until it penetrated through.

The whole sequence of moves was completed in a breath, not taking more than an eye’s blink for most.

Pulling out the long nail, she retreated quickly behind Wang Mawu.

A gush of fresh blood spurted out intensely, drenching Wang Mawu’s head and face.

Through the veil of blood, he could clearly see his most trusted underling, Ah Si, staring wide-eyed until death, the terror in his eyes never fading.

The cold metal pressed against Wang Mawu’s neck, and with a trembling voice he asked, "You, you dare to kill in public?"

Qin Yao: "Yes, remnant of bandits, the government will reward me for killing you."

"And as for you, think about how much silver it will take to clear the charge of harboring criminals." This was said lightly by Qin Yao, so quietly that only the two of them could hear.

Wang Mawu suddenly felt a fatalistic sense of sorrow and helplessness: given Qin Yao exists, why must I still exist as Wang Mawu.

Those about to engage in brawling on both sides were scared stiff by Ah Si’s fountain of blood, not daring to move.

Especially those on Wang Mawu’s side, the thugs who hit common folks ruthlessly, now timid and frightened, not daring to look at Ah Si’s corpse.

Because that death scene was terrifying to the point of causing nightmares!

A violent brawl that was about to begin, ended abruptly before it could even start.
