In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi had good intentions, but unfortunately the result was destined to disappoint her.

In a quiet forest path, Su Zhizhi's carriage was moving quietly, and Su Zhizhi and her friends were sleeping soundly in the carriage.

Outside the carriage, a group of burly, masked men were staring at Su Zhizhi's carriage with a covetous look.

"Boss, this carriage is decorated so gorgeously, there must be a lot of money in it." The man licked his lips greedily.

The man beside him immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, Boss, we will definitely make a lot of money this time."

"We have hijacked their carriage so we can rest for a while." The bandit on the side said happily.

Hearing this, the bandit leader also smiled with satisfaction. "That's right, then we have to be more cautious this time. We can only succeed and not fail. To be on the safe side, I think we should wait until late at night when everyone is asleep and their guard is down before we take action."

The bandit leader thought for a while and spoke cautiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately echoed by others.

"Yes, I think what the boss said makes a lot of sense."

"Just do as the boss says."

"Okay, then it's settled."

……

Everyone said in a hurry.

In this way, the bandits quietly followed Su Zhizhi and her friends' carriage, preparing to ambush them in the dead of night.

At the same time, Su Zhizhi in the carriage was chatting leisurely with Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun, unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

at night.

Seeing that Su Zhizhi and the others were already asleep, the bandits quietly sneaked into the carriage and prepared to steal it.

The bandit leader pulled the reins hard, but unexpectedly, the two donkeys that were originally sleeping while standing suddenly jumped up, roared, and kept shaking their bodies in an attempt to throw the bandit leader off.

"Uh--"

"Uh--"

"Boom-"

The huge noise from the carriage instantly woke up Su Zhizhi and the others who were sleeping nearby.

Su Zhizhi looked at the bandit leaders in confusion and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in my carriage?"

Xie Chengjin, who was standing by, reacted immediately. He pointed at the bandit leaders and said, "What are you still standing there for? They're here to steal our things."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin took the lead and rushed towards the bandits with his sword.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun on the side immediately reacted and joined the battle.

Although Su Zhizhi was a woman, she was very agile. With the help of the pepper spray, they subdued the bandits in no time.

"Wuwuwu, good man, we know we are wrong, please let me go, we will never dare to do it again."

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault for being blind and not recognizing the true master. We apologize to you here, please don't kill us. We only robbed passers-by of their money and didn't harm their lives. Heaven and earth can see the conscience, please let us go."

"Please don't kill us, okay? I'll give you whatever you want."

……

The bandit leader didn't expect things to turn out like this, so he quickly pleaded with Su Zhizhi and the others.

At the same time, he already felt extremely regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have set his sights on Su Zhizhi and the others. But unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and they must pay the price for their actions.

Su Zhizhi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she had a bold idea in her heart. Aren't they short of money? Isn't this the opportunity to give them money?

Su Zhizhi looked at the bandit leader expressionlessly and said, "It's not impossible to spare your lives, but..."

Su Zhizhi stretched out her tone and deliberately said half and left the other half.

Seeing this, the bandits immediately expressed their loyalty to Su Zhizhi, saying, "Auntie, as long as you can let us go this time, we will do anything you ask us to do."

"Yes, I'd go through fire and water for you."

"Please forgive our mistakes and spare our lives."

……

Su Zhizhi smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "There's no need to be as exaggerated as you say. We're a little short on cash, so I just wanted to ask you for some money to solve our current predicament, and then I can let you go."

"Remember, you must give me everything you have that can be exchanged for money. Don't keep anything. Otherwise, if I find out, I will make you stay here forever."

Su Zhizhi knocked on the bandits and said.

The bandits nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, please don't worry."

"We'll all turn it in."

"We will hand it over obediently."

……

When the bandits heard that Su Zhizhi would not kill them, they were overjoyed and handed over all their belongings.

Su Zhizhi smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the things the bandits handed over. There were many valuable items such as jade pendants, jade bracelets, etc. She estimated that these were enough to support the funds they would spend on their next journey.

"Okay, you can go now. Don't let me see you again. If I see you again, you won't be alive anymore."

Su Zhizhi said meaningfully.

After saying that, she untied the ropes that tied up the gangsters.

As soon as they were untied, the bandits fled in all directions, and in less than a moment, they disappeared without a trace.

Su Zhizhi looked at the gold, silver and jewelry looted from the bandits and suddenly had an idea.

"Mr. Shen, please keep these for me." Su Zhizhi looked at Shen Wenjun and said with a smile.

Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin were both slightly stunned, and then Shen Wenjun took the thing from Su Zhizhi without hesitation.

"Miss Su, don't worry, I will keep it well for you. I will not let you down." Shen Wenjun promised solemnly.

After Su Zhizhi finished speaking, she quietly observed Xie Chengjin's performance in secret. Her behavior this time was to stimulate Xie Chengjin and make him reveal his true colors.

However, Xie Chengjin didn't say anything. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely jealous in his heart. He silently observed the actions of Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun in the dark.

Seeing Su Zhizhi approaching him actively, Shen Wenjun was naturally very excited and happy. He even pretended to be intimate with Su Zhizhi to provoke Xie Chengjin. Who made Xie Chengjin "compete" with Shen Wenjun intentionally or unintentionally in this way some time ago?

Shen Wenjun looked at Xie Chengjin with a smug look on his face, showing off like a peacock spreading its tail.

In this regard, Xie Chengjin chose to turn a blind eye. After all, paying attention to Shen Wenjun would only make him become more aggressive. It would be better to pretend not to see it and not respond to his moves. It wouldn't take long before Shen Wenjun would find it boring and stop bothering him.

Sure enough, when Shen Wenjun saw that Xie Chengjin looked calm and didn't respond to him, he said a few words and then stopped talking.
