Chapter 85: Coming to the Arena Again
It was mainly because Shen Yijia was pet.i.te and stood out among the men. It was difficult not to recognize her.
At this moment, there were people fighting in all three arenas, so Shen Yijia could only wait for her turn.
From time to time there were shouts and cheers from the crowd.
Shen Yijia watched for a while and her attention was drawn to one of the fighters in the arena.
The young man looked even smaller than Bruiser. He was thin and weak, but his opponent was a burly man.
!!The young man was clearly no match for the burly man. He was beaten until he was covered in blood.
However, he still refused to admit defeat and got up again and again.
There was a murmur among the crowd.
“Why is that kid from the Lin family here again?”
“That’s right. He really doesn’t want to live anymore. He can’t win and still wants to fight. He’ll definitely be thrown out later.”
“I heard that his family offended Feng Laoliu of our town. His parents are dead, and he’s left with a sickly girl. Everyone is afraid of offending Feng Laoliu, so no one dares to hire him. In order to buy medicine for the girl, he can only come here.”
His fight was treated like a warm-up match. Even if he lost a battle, he would still get a hundred coins.
When the people in the stands saw this b.l.o.o.d.y scene, they all boiled up and shouted, “Get up again!”
The air was filled with the metallic smell of blood. Shen Yijia wrinkled her nose.
She watched as the young man stared fiercely at the burly man. Just like a wolf cub. He got up again and again, and Shen Yijia felt as if she was seeing her younger self back in the mental hospital.
Shen Yijia frowned and turned away.
When Shen Yijia went on stage, she was seemingly affected by what she had seen.
This time, Shen Yijia did not hold back at all. Her attacks were fast and ruthless.
After ten rounds, no one dared to fight again. When Manager Feng saw this scene, he asked if they wanted to arrange for slaves to fight.
Shen Yijia refused without thinking.
She was inexplicably repulsed by slaves.
She won 100 taels of silver from fighting and Bruiser bet nearly 300 taels of silver on the fights.
Shen Yijia stopped decisively.
Bruiser used the money Shen Yijia gave him as capital to earn twenty taels of silver. He refused to take money from Shen Yijia again.
Shen Yijia could only give up. She shook off the stalker and changed back into her female clothes. She touched the wooden hairpin on her head. Realizing that she had not bought a gift for her family, she went to buy many things.
In addition to the thin cotton cloth that was to be used to make two sets of clothes for each of the family members, Shen Yijia also specially chose a small navy blue brocade, planning to make a pouch for Song Jingchen later.
She bought a gold hairpin for Madam Li. She didn’t know which one to choose, so she just chose the heavy one.
She also saw a jade hairpin that would suit Song Jingchen well, so she bought it.
It was a joy to choose these gifts, but when it came to paying…
“My hands hurt. I wonder if I can p.a.w.n these if I run out of money in the future.” she thought.
Bruiser was impressed. She was indeed his boss.
As her underling, he felt that he could not embarra.s.s himself. He reluctantly spent one tael of silver to buy a silver hairpin for Widow w.a.n.g.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
Fortunately, Brother Hao and Sister Huan were still young. Shen Yijia thoughtfully bought a notebook for each of them.
It was as if one could hear Brother Hao and Sister Huan saying, “Sister-in-law, we don’t need a gift.”
Finally, she went to the rice shop to buy a few bags of rice.
She spent nearly 15 taels of silver in total, and most of it was spent on Song Jingchen’s jade hairpin. It cost eight taels of silver. According to the shopkeeper, it was the treasure of their shop.
Shen Yijia thought to herself that it was expensive to take care of a beautiful husband.
While she was happily shopping, the people who were supposed to tail her returned to the underground arena. However, they had to suffer.
“Useless things. How did you lose a person? Do you think I raised you for nothing? This is the second time this happened.” Manager Feng stomped his feet in anger.
