Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Qin San Lang said, "Aunt Gu doesn't have to worry, after those people see Qiu Lang, they will definitely ask to sell themselves to follow us, and after today's events, Qiu Lang won't dare to keep them in West City."

Qiu Lang's sister was almost killed, as a brother, it's impossible to abandon his severely ill sister a second time.

When Gu Daya knew that Gu Jinli had a plan in mind, she no longer asked questions. After they finished eating, she took Gu Jinli to the bathhouse, and after she bathed, the two returned to their living quarters.

Qin San Lang also returned to his guesthouse to bathe.

He lived in the same guesthouse with the Qi Family brothers. Qi Kangming was worried after hearing that Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli had been reprimanded, and waited until he returned to ensure everything was alright after hearing what had happened.

"Your guts are really big; I've heard from the Qi Family People about that place in West City, it's chaotic, there have even been beheading cases, Third Old Master was really frantic."

Qin San Lang said, "This time, I didn't expect it to take so long, it won't happen again."

Next time he will ensure it is seamless.

He spoke a few more words with the Qi Family brothers and then went back to his own guest room to sleep.

The next day, Qiu Lang and his four men got up before dawn, washed up, and waited for Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli also got up at dawn, after washing and eating breakfast, took Third Grandpa, Gu Daya, Han Liu, and others, and headed towards West City.

Uncle Cheng was very considerate and prepared two baskets of pancakes for them to take to the children in West City.

Qiu Lang and his men were extremely grateful and left carrying the baskets.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the dilapidated courtyard in West City; before even entering, they heard a ruckus: "Meng Jiang, you better sense it up, give me the silver and food willingly, otherwise, I'll smash this rotten house today and drag all the girls inside to be sold!"

"Heh heh, a few procuresses from Xunxian Alley have spoken to me several times, offering up to one and a half taels, they truly value you, hurry up to the old well to clean up, follow me to Xunxian Alley, from now on you just have to lie down to earn money… Ah! Meng Jiang, how dare you play dirty!"

Ah Jiang, furious, threw a stone blade, hitting Ma Shisan's chest. Although he didn't kill him, it caused him immense pain.

"Ma Shisan, if you dare cause trouble again, I'll make sure you regret it!"

That Xunxian Alley is indeed a den of covert prostitution, and they even think of selling Sister Li and Xiao Ji there; it's utterly outrageous.

Ma Shisan, having been hit, could not just let it go and pointed at Ah Jiang: "Meng Jiang, you are seeking your own death! Alright, alright, I'll settle this today, and let you meet your dead parents in hell."

He immediately commanded the dozen or so hoodlums he brought: "Brothers, get on it, smash this broken house, capture their girls, sell if they can be sold, if not, we'll keep them for ourselves; they don't have household registration, they won't dare complain to the government!"

"Yes, Lord Thirteen!" The hoodlums surged forward and were just about to smash the house when, bang, the half-rotten courtyard door was kicked open by Qiu Lang, smacking it onto the ground.

The courtyard fell silent, Ma Shisan turned around and saw Qiu Lang, scared, immediately grabbed a nearby hoodlum to shield himself, and exclaimed in shock: "Qiu Lang, weren't you sold off, how come you're back?"

And Feng Jin, those two are like bringers of plague, they've beaten them down before.

Anger surged through Qiu Lang, he only thought of selling himself to save his sister's life, but he didn't expect that after he left, Ah Jiang and others would be bullied like this, and Ma Shisan's group, already fearful from past beatings, dared to bully them again.

Qiu Lang pointed at Ma Shisan and said: "Get out, or I'll chop you up!"

Feng Jin had already fetched a wooden stick, holding it in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

Ma Shisan shivered and hastened to say, "Qiu Lang, don't be rash, we are here under Boss Bao's orders. Boss Bao wants the girls from here. If you don't hand them over, not to mention staying in West City, you won't find a place in the entire Prefecture!"

After the warning, he tried to reason, "The girls are going to marry eventually, the water has to be spilled sooner or later. Why not now? By giving them up now, not only can you please Boss Bao, but also lighten your burden. You could have more to eat without starving for them…"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ma Shisan hadn't finished speaking when the back of his head was fiercely hit several times with a stick.

The person striking was extremely vicious, exhausting his strength and also jabbed Ma Shisan's spinal cord with the stick, nearly breaking his back.

With a howl, Ma Shisan turned around, and upon seeing who hit him, he raged, "Qiu Li, you wretched girl, dare to hit me, you are dead!"

Saying so, he drew his knife to chop at Qiu Li, but was stopped by Ah Jiang, and the delinquents seeing this immediately joined to help, turning the courtyard into a melee.

Qin San Lang and Han Liu rushed to help, and within less than an hour, they had tied up Ma Shisan and his group.

Ma Shisan was dazed, staring at Qin San Lang and Han Liu, he said, "Who are you? Don't meddle in others' affairs, this is West City's business. If you don't want to die, let us go quickly."

With a thud, Feng Jin hit Ma Shisan's mouth with a stick, knocking out two of his front teeth.

Gu Jinli stopped her writing, blew on the ink on the paper, and after the ink dried, she called Han Liu over, "Uncle Xiao Liu, take this confession to the Prefecture Government Office, and let the officials there capture these evil men."

Ma Shisan was even more bewildered, and looking towards Gu Jinli, he yelled, "You damn girl, what are you talking about? What confession?"

Gu Jinli smiled, "The confession where you just said you were going to abduct and sell people, and assault and kill. What, did you forget or are you thinking of denying it?"

Then she said to Han Liu, "Uncle Xiao Liu, take this and get their fingerprints."

"Eh," Han Liu cheerfully walked towards Ma Shisan with the paper, frightening him terribly, who shouted, "Back off, I won't mark it."

Han Liu sneered, grabbed his tied hands, and with a snap, pressed his fingerprints on the document, and did the same with the other delinquents.

Seeing this, Ma Shisan, in his fright, threatened again, "Press all you want, see if the Prefecture Government Office will catch us? Boss Bao's sworn brother is a squad leader there; if you dare to report, you'll be the ones getting caught!"

Gu Jinli feigned a frightened expression and asked, "The squad leader at the Prefecture Government Office is Boss Bao's sworn brother? That's impressive. What's the squad leader's surname? You aren't tricking us, are you?"

After speaking, she gave Ma Shisan a contemptuous look.

Enraged to the point of fuming, Ma Shisan fell into the trap and roared, "It's Lord Bao, Squad Leader Bao! Scared now?"

Due to their surnames being similar, Boss Bao and Squad Leader Bao had sworn brotherhood and, over the years, colluded internally and externally, committing numerous wicked acts in West City.

Hearing Ma Shisan's words, Han Liu brought the paper to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli, holding a brush, added a sentence on top, "Ma Shisan confesses that Squad Leader Bao and Boss Bao colluded to harm West City, committing crimes such as murder, abduction, and human trafficking."
