Chapter 18: Suddenly Hearing of His Own Happy Event

Silently giving a thumbs up, Jiang Jinshi smiled: "How about this! When you meet suitable people later, recruit them in. Once you have merit, I'll promote you to Small Squad Leader."

Zhang Honghong's eyes lit up, and she was a bit excited: "Washing clothes and cooking isn't suitable for me. Why can't I do what men can do?"

Jiang Jinshi skillfully threw out a flatbread: "I see you're someone who can do big things. Some of the Small Squad Leaders in our stronghold aren't as good as you! Work hard, and when you are promoted to Small Squad Leader, I'll introduce you to the other Small Squad Leaders."

Zhang Honghong held her head high and chest out: "Don't worry, Captain, I will never lose face for you."

Since having subordinates recruit others also counted, he definitely had to arrange for them to go out and do things, after all, the system's new mission had been released.

【Mission: The somewhat strong useless teenager has started to have his own team, but you don't even have your own mountain stronghold, what kind of mountain bandit are you?】

【Number of mountain bandits: 5/50 (Incomplete)】

【Number of robberies: 0/5 (Incomplete)】

【One mountain stronghold: 0/1 (Incomplete)】

【Mission completion reward: Surprise Gift Pack*1】

The difficulty of this mission was not small; he had to recruit nine times the number of people from the last mission, and there were requirements for a mountain stronghold and the number of robberies.

But seeing the words "Surprise Gift Pack," Jiang Jinshi still licked his lips. He believed that the mission reward this time would definitely not disappoint him.

Since he had to expand his manpower, Jiang Jinshi wouldn't be stingy, but the ten taels of silver in his hand hadn't been broken yet, so Jiang Jinshi could only instruct them to meet tomorrow!

Safely handing Tang Lin and the cart over to Zhang Honghong, Jiang Jinshi trotted towards home.

As for where the two would live, he wouldn't arrange it for the time being. Anyway, it wouldn't rain, and living in the wild was cooler.

Tomorrow, he would first go to see what kind of people Luo Feng and his sister had recruited, then go to the city to break the silver, and give a portion to Zhang Honghong for daily use.

Also, once there were more brothers later, the little silver he had on him definitely wouldn't be enough to spend. Just normal eating and drinking would require quite a bit.

The matter of robbery had to be put on the agenda, but the village roads were mostly refugees and villagers. To really get rich, he had to go to the official road. But even going to the official road, his small number of people was probably not enough.

Currently, his stronghold only had three people with combat power, including himself: one who had no strength to truss a chicken, one who was disabled, and one whose situation was still unknown.

Such a small number of people was still too few, but with more people, he couldn't afford to support them for the time being!

It was truly impossible to get rid of the trouble caused by lack of money no matter where he went!

When Jiang Jinshi walked to the entrance of the village leisurely, he immediately attracted the attention of Old Lady Li, who was washing clothes by the river.

Old Lady Li put down the clothes in her hand and trotted over in two or three steps to stop Jiang Jinshi.

"Little Ten! You're getting married today! Why did you just come back?"

Jiang Jinshi was sure he had heard every word the other party said clearly, but the whole sentence left him confused.

"Grandma Li, what are you talking about?"

Looking at Jiang Jinshi's completely ignorant appearance, Grandma Li's eyes were excited, and she described it to Jiang Jinshi vividly.

After listening, Jiang Jinshi was a bit stunned. He was married just like that?

In his previous life, he was a single dog until he was over twenty, and he got married only a few days after crossing over.

The person he married was actually Li Zhaodi, whom he met this morning, and she was only eighteen years old?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshi's head grew a bit large. As a modern person, he had inexplicably married someone he had only spoken a few words to, and the other party was so young.

No matter how he thought about it, it felt extremely awkward, but in this era, a divorced woman would be despised by others.

Unable to think of a good way for a while, Jiang Jinshi even wanted to go out and hide. Going home was too awkward!

And looking at Grandma Li's expression, it was obvious that the whole village knew, otherwise how could she be so excited.

The fact was exactly so; the whole village knew. Grandma Li had eaten a big piece of gossip for the first time but had no one to share it with. Now that she had fed the gossip to the main character, her desire to share was greatly satisfied.

Then, as if thinking of something, she said to Jiang Jinshi again: "And your eldest uncle and second uncle went too, and they caused some trouble!"

Grandma Li, who wanted to maintain some mystery, didn't expect Jiang Jinshi to run home as soon as he heard this.

Jiang Jinshi was worried about Xiao Lizi and his mother. If he wasn't at home, wouldn't they be at the mercy of his eldest and second uncles?

Taking a deep breath, the thought of going out to hide was thrown out of his mind, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Grandma Li, who was left on the spot, was so anxious that she scratched her head. She should have just said it all in one breath. Now that she had only said half, it was so uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling all over her body.

Jiang Jinshi pushed open the door, and the dilapidated door finally couldn't bear the burden and fell to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Li and Li Xinyue were squatting in the corner whispering about something, and Mother Liu was lying on the bed watching them and laughing happily. Hearing the sound, the three people in the room looked at the door in unison.

Having no time to pay attention to this rotten wooden board, Jiang Jinshi first walked to the bed. Seeing his mother smiling, the heavy stone in his heart finally settled down.

Turning to look at Jiang Li, Jiang Jinshi asked directly: "I heard that my eldest uncle and second uncle came today?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Li felt a bit aggrieved. Her small eyes turned red instantly, and she stammered out the whole story.

Jiang Jinshi didn't interrupt throughout the whole process. After listening, he turned to look at "Li Zhaodi" and said with gratitude: "Li... Zhaodi, thank you so much today!"

Before Li Xinyue could speak, Jiang Li put her hands on her hips: "Sister-in-law has changed her name, she is now called Li Xinyue."

Jiang Jinshi naturally knew the meaning of that name and immediately clapped his hands in agreement: "Good, this name sounds good!"

"That's for sure, the name Xinyue sounds cultured."

Mother Liu took over the conversation, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at her daughter-in-law.

Li Xinyue looked at Jiang Jinshi with a guilty conscience. Just now she was asking Jiang Li about Jiang Jinshi, and she didn't know if he had heard it.

Seeing Jiang Jinshi talking to her, she hurriedly lowered her head and waved her hand: "Small matter, just a small effort!"

Seeing Li Xinyue lower her head, Jiang Jinshi also knew her character. He had thought that she could stand up to confront Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui today, so her personality should have changed somewhat.

But looking at it now, she was still that introverted person, and he didn't know how much courage it took for her to say those words today.

So, Jiang Jinshi's gaze towards Li Xinyue carried a hint of admiration.

Li Xinyue was roaring in her heart at this moment.

What to do? What to do?

Xiao Lizi said he not only gambles but also hits people?

If he does something untoward to me tonight, I will definitely be beaten if I don't comply.

This body is so thin, even if I have anti-wolf spray or a kitchen knife, I might not be his opponent.

Oh my god! I have to find a way to run away.

Jiang Li's little head was thinking about whether Jiang Jinshi had already lost all his money, and whether he was going to take the grain to continue gambling, otherwise why would he come back so early today? ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
