Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 24

“Report, we have caught a foreigner!” All the bandits were annihilated, and they brought the foreigners to Xu Bao.

Right now, they treated this young mistress with even more respect than Wu Anguo. If they followed her, they would have meat to eat. Even if they went back to train, they would still be respected.

James was surprised to see Xu Bao. God, it’s a lady, and it’s a head, what other miracle is there here!

Out of courtesy to women, James bent down, even if he were caught, to take Xu Bao’s hand, to kiss the back of her hand, and to offer the most respectful of courtesies.

Xu Bao was shocked. This was a foreigner! He had golden fur, and he actually wanted to eat human flesh. He must have been starving.

When he thought about how painful it was to be hungry, Xu Bao brought his men to collect the things he had stolen from the bandits and went to get food from his father-in-law.

Along the way, James would have liked to talk to the lady. He would have said in simple Chinese, “Hello, miss, thank you.”

A single syllable. It might be difficult for others to understand, but for a single cell like Xu Bao, it was very easy to understand. He shook his head and said, “No need, let’s eat. Hungry.”

James also understood and happily went to eat. He felt that this lady was indeed a very special person. Although she did not know any foreign languages, she was able to communicate with him normally, and was even better than that translator.

When Old Master Wu saw that his wife had returned, he even brought a golden-furred monster with him, giving him a fright.

Xu Bao told his father that this was a very important person that he had caught, and that he would deliver it to his big brother later. When Master Wu heard this, he did not find it strange, even though he was cursing his son for being unfilial, in his heart, he felt that his son was doing great things and could not casually ask about it.

Fortunately, Master Wu had saved a few for his gluttonous daughter-in-law. He still remembered that his daughter-in-law had agreed to marry him on one condition, which was that he would have meat for every meal. Therefore, Master Wu was extra careful, if he couldn’t do anything else, there must be meat.

James had been captured by the bandits for most of the day and had been running all over the mountains, so he was starving. Right now, he was not a gentleman at all, especially that Red Braised Meat, he felt that it was simply a delicacy of the world. After eating, he even burped loudly and pointed at the Red Braised Meat, giving a thumbs up.

When Xu Bao saw that James was Chinese and loved to eat meat, he immediately had a favorable impression of him. At that moment, he no longer felt that the golden hair and blue eyes looked like monsters.

When he was full, Xu Bao brought his underlings, James, and the things they had taken from him into the city.

On the way, James carefully asked these people how they trained. He pointed at the soldiers and gave them a thumbs-up.

Xu Bao recalled that he had also just pointed at the Red Braised Meat and hurriedly shook his head, implying: “People can’t eat it, pigs can.”

However, James thought that Xu Bao was careful to avoid this question and did not pursue the matter any further. He was even more curious, because if he were to return home, he must report that this was a problem. If this was not a group of ordinary people, then there must be many secrets. He thought of the people hiding in the land of their hometown. He was terrified and glad that he had come to Shanxi to discover such a great secret.

Arriving at the scene, Wu Anguo saw that the little girl was dirty again, and he felt a headache coming on. Just as he was about to teach her a lesson and see her spoils of war, she became even more unruly and actually went out to exterminate bandits! What if he got hurt? It was something he loved and hated.

Then, he saw that there was a foreigner among the spoils of war. Damn, this was happening now, the foreigners were very popular in China, they could walk anywhere they liked. He did not expect that Little Treasure would pick up a foreigner in the mountains! He did not know how to speak a foreign language, so when he thought of how Song Yihan was a foreign student, he knew that he must have known, so he called Song Yihan over.

While Wu Anguo was sizing up James, James was also sizing up Wu Anguo. He had just seen who was looking for a report from this lady in front of him, and it seemed like this lady’s position was higher, and perhaps there was a stronger one here as well, and he was very happy that he was actually able to come to this headquarters, perhaps it was a fulcrum, but no matter what, he was looking forward to the future. At this moment, the original purpose of selling the tractor no longer mattered, and if he could break this secret, James could already imagine his position in his hometown.

As expected, Song-han knew English, and he was very surprised to see James here. James was also very surprised that there was someone as good as his English in Shanxi, even better than his crappy translator, and the accent made him think that this person should be the way he was. If it weren’t for his yellow face, he would have thought he was communicating with his compatriots, and at the same time he was more interested in this place. He said he was here because of the tractor.

Song Yihan said happily, “That’s great! The woman who saved you is the one who wanted to buy your tractor.”

Now James felt that fate was indeed a coincidence.

He said he was sincere in coming to talk about the business and that he could get the tractor brought in immediately if he needed it.

Song, on the other hand, said he could not make the decision. He needed the lady to bid on the price.

James nodded in understanding. To him, this man with good English was probably just a subordinate. The key entrance was the man the lady and the lady had just spoken to.

But the man looked very serious, and he didn’t speak any words, so he couldn’t get any information from him. The main thing was to get something from the lady, because the lady seemed very approachable.

Next, Song was going to translate for James and ask him to talk to Xu Bao, but James refused, saying that he was studying Chinese and there was nothing wrong with the conversation. He hoped that Mr. Song would give him the opportunity to do so.

Brother Song had told her to talk about the price with the “dirty female lion”, and Xu Bao felt that the name of this foreigner was too unpleasant to listen to. He was clearly a man, yet he called her “lioness” and even added the word “dirty,” but he was a trash seller so it was normal for him to be dirty.

Xu Bao asked James, “Trash, ocean, how much?”

James understood at once that the lady, though she could not speak English, knew English grammar. He held out a finger and said, “Onethousand.”

Xu Bao didn’t understand, so he could only shake his head.

When James saw her shake her head, he thought she was not satisfied with the price, so he lowered the price and said, “Eight-Hundred,” and held out another eight fingers. Xu Bao shook his head even more violently. He didn’t understand it just now, but now, he was even more confused.

But James still thought that Xu Bao was not satisfied, so he haggled with her in a very serious and serious manner. When he finished speaking, he blushed and scratched his cheeks, becoming more and more agitated. When his fingers touched two, Xu Bao also liked this gesture.

James was speechless. This lady was so amazing, she actually raised the price from 1000 to 200 Yuan. Oh my god, this was the price. If he didn’t find a special secret this time, his boss would definitely dismiss him.

When Song was done with his work, he found that James and Bao’er had already negotiated the price. It was two hundred yuan, and he had seen the market before, so he had a conservative estimate of one thousand yuan. He thought this foreigner would definitely call for more, but he didn’t expect it to be so cheap.

“Mr. James, you really are a friend of the Chinese people!” Song Yihan thanked him.

Hearing Song Yihan’s praise, James happily replied, “No, no!”

Sung Ying-Han first spoke to James in English, then translated for Xu Bao to hear, Xu Bao actually heard James to ask where?

Xu Bao’s fastest reply was, “From head to toe!”

James and Song laughed at the same time.

In order to find out more about the place, James decided to stay. He sent a telegram to five tractors and offered to teach new friends how to use it.

Soon, the tractor arrived, along with a camera. At that time, the foreigners would be very efficient, so the stuff would arrive very safely and quickly.

These few days, James had been asking Xu Bao for information, but this lady was very cunning, she only talked about food with him every day. If it wasn’t for the fact that he accidentally saw those people that she commanded, he would have been fooled by her, thinking that she was just a greedy person.

When the tractor finally arrived, James offered to teach them to drive because they were friends.

“Xu Que, I, I, am coming home. Are you taking a photo, OK?” James was holding the watch, hoping to get a few pictures back.

Xu Bao didn’t know what a photo was. It was only after listening to Brother Song’s explanation that he knew that people would run away on paper. In her opinion, only when someone was dead would they run away on paper.

James acknowledged Xu’s caution, but he still wanted to take one or two pictures of Ms. Xu and her men when he took the tractor down to the country, with a camera on his back and a picture or two of the scene.

But the opportunity had finally come, there was one who didn’t know how to brake the brakes and kept driving the tractor. Seeing the big rock in front of him, he decisively jumped up, his figure flying in the air, then rolling, then hiding. At the same time, the others also hid behind their hiding places as usual.

James quickly pressed the shutter button and took in every second. At the same time, he also captured the side profile of the only standing Ms. Xu. He could not help but admire her.

Xu Bao was scared silly, and his reaction was slow. Naturally, he didn’t know how to dodge.

Two days later, a telegram arrived from Shanghai. James’s superiors criticized his actions severely, and a 200-circle tractor, which the leaders thought was James’s personal belongings, asked him to go back and report.

Although he hadn’t completely discovered this secret, he had some clues. He believed that with the information he had now, it would cause a sensation in his hometown. Perhaps he would come here again, but at that time, he definitely wouldn’t be an ordinary businessman. James reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Bao.

Before he left, Xu Bao gave him a gift, a blue and white porcelain chamber pot. Xu Bao had heard that Shanxi to Shanghai was very far away, so the journey was very inconvenient.

James was so excited to see this exquisite porcelain that his face was glued to the surface of the chamber pot. This was the most beautiful glass he had ever seen, the china! He used the hand which he had just used to stroke the chamber pot to hug Xu Bao tightly as he bid Xu Bao farewell and said, “Xu Maze, Xu, you are the best friend you’ve ever had!”
