Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Playing the Finger-Guessing Game

No, getting beaten was not in her nature. Xiaoxiao had a sudden stroke of inspiration, it was still best to get them drunk first, buy some time and find someone to come help.

"Big brothers, look how late it is already. You’ve come from far and haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I show you my cooking skills? We can talk about the pickled cabbage while we eat?"

The burly man thought for a moment, "Alright then, serve us some good food and drink, and be quick about it."

"You got it! I’ll get right on it!"

Xiaoxiao quickly signalled to Yang Ming with her eyes to follow her, then she dragged Third Auntie out the door.

"Wife of Yang Ming, what do we do now!" As soon as Third Auntie was outside, she grabbed Xiaoxiao anxiously.

"Third Auntie, don’t panic. They’re here for the pickled cabbage recipe, they can’t do anything to Yang Wei!"

She couldn’t give away the recipe or hand over the person. With no one else at home since Third Uncle and the rest had gone to sell tofu, the only option was to stall for time and call for help.

"Yang Ming, go home and bring all the best food you can find, and as much wine as possible. We’re going to get them drunk first. Find some paper, and I’ll look for an opportunity to switch out the indenture contract!"

"Third Auntie, you go find people. If all else fails, having more people will make it easier to do something. If it comes down to it, we’ll fight. When you’ve brought people back, don’t alarm them, just keep them waiting at the neighbor’s house!"

Before long, Yang Ming had brought back the food. Xiaoxiao was busy in the kitchen, and Third Auntie had also come back with help, getting everyone arranged.

The table was set and once the meal was ready, Xiaoxiao hurried to organize the burly men to sit down to eat.

"Big brothers, sorry for the wait. Please, take a seat for the meal! We’ve prepared good wine for you!" Xiaoxiao said, showing them a jug of wine.

The men looked at it and sniffed, "Good wine! Smells pretty good too! Just seems a bit little."

"Big brother, there’s more, don’t worry. You’ll have enough," Xiaoxiao assured them.

The burly men started to eat and drink, making quite some noise with their eating.

"Big brother, how come you don’t play finger guessing games while drinking? It’s much more fun that way!"

"Finger guessing game? How’s that played?" the leader asked.

"Finger guessing, that’s when two people extend a hand and either show a fist or one to five fingers, representing the numbers from zero to five..."

Xiaoxiao carefully explained to them how the game worked, needing them to lose and drink until they were confused.

"Got it yet?"

"This is fresh, let’s hurry and try it out!" the burly man said excitedly.

Xiaoxiao didn’t care about maintaining a ladylike image anymore, placing one foot on a stool.

"Brothers!"

"Heads of Five!"

"Big brother, you lost, let me fill your cup." Xiaoxiao poured the wine as she spoke, and the burly man downed it in one gulp, "Another round!"

"Smooth and Six!"

"Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!"

"Little sister, it’s your turn to lose, come on!"

Xiaoxiao took the drinking cup and emptied it in one go, "Another round!"

"..."

"..."

The other burly men had also started finger guessing, the room filled with their loud and high-spirited voices. Third Auntie and the others stared dumbfounded, not daring to make a sound, as Yang Ming’s wife drank with the men as if she were one of them.

Watching his wife drink one cup after another, Yang Ming stepped forward to replace her, "I’m fine, don’t worry about me, I’m the type who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

"Sister, you truly are a heroine among women! Come on, another round!"

"..." Clearly, the wife was drunk now, as she was already treating the men as brothers!

"Big brother, my wife has had too much to drink. Let me play the finger guessing game with you," Yang Ming offered.

"You? A delicate scholar, do you think you can handle it?" the burly man looked at Yang Ming with disdain and said.

Suddenly, Yang Ming, just like his wife, placed a foot on the stool, "Let’s go!"
