The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 190 Taking Advantage and Acting Innocent
The others watched quietly, while Shi Tou and Xiao Huan silently sped up their eating of mung bean paste, each grabbing a child and quickly fleeing the scene of trouble before the fire reached them.

Yuanyuan and Chuxu, who were scooped up in one go: ? ?
They haven't finished listening yet!
A gentle breeze swept through the treetops, carrying wisps of warmth into the main room.

Lu Chengjing put down his spoon, his dark eyes fixed on the person beside him, and said calmly, "Wife, I've checked, there are two washboards in the house."

Shang Wan smiled but didn't say anything.

Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment, "I'll go to the Li family to order a spiked club in a bit."

Shang Wan: "They're quite aware of their own limitations."

Lu Chengjing: "..."

Even a spiked club won't work?

The young man lowered his eyelashes, seriously considering how he could become a miracle doctor through self-study.

"Open your mouth."

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Chengjing subconsciously opened his mouth, and a spoonful of sweet and sticky mung bean paste was fed into his mouth, his dark eyes widening slightly.

"Silly fox." Shang Wan fed him the last spoonful of mung bean paste in the bowl, wiped the soup off his lips, cleared the dishes, and left.

Lu Chengjing, with mung bean paste in his mouth: "..."

·
Of course, Shang Wan was just teasing him by saying he was going to become a miracle doctor. Everyone has their own expertise. If Lu Chengjing were really capable of being a doctor, given his personality, he would have already been rushing down the path to becoming a miracle doctor. Why would she need to bring it up?
Controlling people with poison is a convenient method, but the necessary hardware is not available, so it has been temporarily shelved.

Shang Wan decided to use her own method.

After putting the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, Shang Wan came out and dragged two men in black into the woodshed, untying the ropes binding them and feeding each of the two wilted men half a bowl of water.

The two drank ravenously, water running down their chins and wetting their clothes.

The half-bowl of water barely quenched their thirst, and both of them collapsed back to the ground, panting heavily. They didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone run away.

Shang Wan crossed her arms, considerately giving the two of them time to recover.

Half an hour later, the second man in black sat up, looked up at Shang Wan, and said, "We don't want to die. What will it take for you to let us go?"

They were just doing their job for money, and upon closer examination, they had no real grudge against the woman in front of them or her family.

Since no one was hurt and the woman in front of them didn't seem to intend to kill them, there was still room for negotiation.

Shang Wan likes people who are pragmatic and can save her a lot of trouble.

She poured another bowl of water and handed it to him, smiling as she asked, "What's your name?"

The second man in black wasn't sure what she wanted to do, so he took the bowl of water, drank a couple of sips, and then handed it to the first man in black next to him.

He said, "Just call me Yu Da."

He pointed to the first man in black, "He's my brother, you can call him Yu Er."

Shang Wan nodded, her gaze sweeping over the porcelain bowl in Yu Ershou's hand. She then picked up the bowl next to the kettle, poured water into it, and handed it to Yu Da.

Yu Da took it and drank more than half a bowl in one go, finally relieving the burning sensation in his throat.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Shang Wan, and waited for the next part.

Shang Wan asked, "You brothers have a good relationship?"

Yu Da didn't hide anything, "Our parents died early, and my brother and I have relied on each other since we were little."

Shang Wan: "Judging from your age, you should already be married, right?"

Yu Da shook his head, "Living with your head tied to your belt, what kind of family are you?" Shang Wan: "Never thought about changing careers?"

Yu sighed, "We have too many enemies. If we change our profession, we'll have to hide our identities and go on the run. We don't want to live that miserable life. Besides, apart from some martial arts skills, my brother and I don't have any other skills to make a living. We might as well just continue like this."

While the two were talking, Yu Er also recovered.

His leg wound became infected, and he had a low-grade fever. He had been exposed to the sun for so long, and the fact that he didn't faint was because he was physically strong.

"Yu Er, is what your brother said true?"

Yu Er felt dizzy, but nodded upon hearing this. "Our lives are in your hands, how could we dare to lie?"

Shang Wan smiled and suddenly kicked Yu Er in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

The sudden kick caught both of them off guard.

"Second brother!" Yu Da exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to check on Yu Er's condition.

Yu Er's face was ashen, he was barely breathing, and there was blood around his mouth. He was clearly on the verge of death.

It was clear that Shang Wan hadn't held back at all in that kick.

Yu Da was filled with hatred, his eyes blazing with fury. He turned and glared at Shang Wan, "We answered your questions, so why did you have to hurt people?"

He knew he couldn't confront Shang Wan head-on, so he suppressed his surging anger and argued with her.

"I like to hear the truth." Shang Wan crossed her arms and looked at Yu Da with a cold and menacing gaze.

In the past, Shang Wan wouldn't have been so angry, and she would have gone a little easier on him. But who told these two unlucky brothers to run into the line of fire?
It's one thing if it's just a pet fox, but these two think they can fool her? Ha!

A chilling killing intent coiled around him like a venomous snake, causing his large pupils to constrict and making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Where on earth did this jinx come from?

"We were wrong." He didn't dare to argue, and the sense of luck and contempt he had felt because of Shang Wan's youth vanished without a trace.

He hugged Yu Er tightly and said quickly, "I'm already married and have a four-year-old daughter. Yu Er isn't married, but he has two lovers in the brothel. This time it's all true, I'm not lying to you."

Shang Wan pouted, "If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this?"

Yu Da dared not speak out in anger. Who knew that this woman in front of him would make a move aimed at taking someone's life?
He released Yu Er, knelt down and kowtowed to Shang Wan, "Please have mercy and save my brother's life."

Yu Er's breathing was weak, as if he was only hanging on by a thread.

Shang Wan looked at Yu Da with a calm expression. "You are assassins hired by Zhong Chenghong. Keeping you alive would mean leaving two potential threats. Why should I save him?"

Yu Da wasn't stupid. He knew what Shang Wan wanted, since she hadn't hidden herself from the two of them when she was talking to Shi Tou.

He glanced at Yu Er, gritted his teeth, suppressed his resentment and anger, and said in a deep voice, "We brothers are both very capable workers."

Shang Wan raised an eyebrow, "You want to stay and work as farmhands in my house?"

Yu Da gritted his teeth so hard he almost broke them before swallowing back the curse. He nodded resentfully and squeezed out a single word from between his teeth, "Yes."

“But I’m very poor and don’t have the spare money to hire long-term workers.” Shang Wan shrugged, looking troubled.

Yu Da: "..."

Aaaaah! He's going to kill this shameless woman who got the better deal and is now acting all innocent!
Gritting his teeth and swallowing his blood, the man, his eyes red with rage, almost uttered each word with deliberate force: "No! Money! I! Want! It!"

Shang Wan hesitated, "This... it's not good not to pay you. You're not servants I bought, how can you work for me for free?"

Yu Da, who understood the implied meaning: !!
This woman actually wanted him to sign a contract of servitude?!
Kill her! Kill her! He must kill her!!!
Kill this woman!!!
The man's anger surged like a tsunami; his body tensed, his muscles bulged, and his cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed. He was about to lose control.
