Chapter 80: Flattery

It was unknown if it was because of the pain or excitement, but Bruiser was sweating profusely.

Seeing that he was still running around restlessly, Shen Yijia said angrily, “Why are you here instead of staying at home?”

Their houses were quite far apart, and Shen Yijia actually marveled at this kid’s tenacity.

“Hehe, Sister, I know everything.” Bruiser grinned and sat down. He looked at Shen Yijia’s mysterious smile, as if saying, “I know your secret.”

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. This brat was acting like a good child after she did so much for him. She threw a piece of fruit into her mouth and fed Song Jingchen one before saying, “Why are you here? If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

Bruiser laughed with a silly smile on his face. He gave Shen Yijia a thumbs up. “Sister, you’re really amazing. You don’t know how chaotic the village is. Some people even think that it’s haunted.”

“Do you think everyone is like you? Don’t you know who I am?” It had to be said that Bruiser’s flattery made Shen Yijia feel good. If there was a tail behind her, she would probably be wagging it.

“Of course. How else would I have acknowledged you as my boss? I didn’t say yes to any number of people in town who wanted to take me in as their disciple. You’re better than all of them even with your hands tied behind your back.”

Shen Yijia was in a good mood after being praised. She picked out the smallest fruit from the basket and threw it to Bruiser. She said proudly, “Of course. How can they compare themselves with me?”

He watched as Shen Yijia fed the biggest and most juicy slice of fruit to Song Jingchen, but she gave him the smallest one. Bruiser was furious. He wanted to say that Boss was being too biased.

However, looking at Song Jingchen and then at Shen Yijia, he didn’t have the courage to say it.

Thinking of something, Shen Yijia glanced at Bruiser and asked, “You know many people in town, right?”

As he ate, Bruiser nodded and said in a muffled voice, “Yes, Boss. If you need me to do anything, just say the word. I’ll do anything.”

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. Did this child become a dummy all of a sudden?

She said directly, “We bought some land recently. Do you know anyone who knows how to build a house?”

Initially, she wanted to go to town and ask around herself, but she had to be around in case they had a change of plans. Since she had a lackey, it would be a waste not to use him.

Bruiser recalled the commotion in the village a few days ago. He was about to ask why the villagers didn’t come to help, but then he understood.

However, the people he knew were all ignorant and idle people. How could he know any skilled craftsmen?

However, he did not want to fail in his first task. He scratched his head and thought about it seriously.

Thinking of someone, he slapped his brain. “I do know one, but he’s not from the town. He’s from the neighboring village. Is that okay?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Shen Yijia couldn’t help but smack him.

As soon as she smacked him, Song Jingchen looked up.

Shen Yijia was speechless. She immediately hid her hand behind her back and sat down obediently, not forgetting to put on a smile.

Bruiser was speechless. He was the one who got beaten up. Why was she looking at him like that? Besides, his brother-in-law’s gaze was so scary.

Song Jingchen was satisfied and continued to work as if nothing had happened.

Shen Yijia and Bruiser heaved a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Bruiser braced himself and said, “Then… I’ll help you ask Third Uncle He in the afternoon. If he’s free, he can come over tomorrow. Do you think… that’s fine?”

“Let’s talk about it when your legs recover,” Shen Yijia said in a rare moment of compassion.

Bruiser was touched. He had not acknowledged this boss for nothing. Not only did she help him take revenge, but she also cared about him. He immediately patted his chest and promised, “My leg is fine. Sister, leave it to me. I promise to complete the mission.”

Shen Yijia looked at him as if he was an idiot and stopped talking. Anyway, she wasn’t the one in pain.
