Chapter 489: Fate is such a coincidence (1)
"I didn't expect that you could recognize me. Stand up and stop kneeling." Fang Chen said, "You made military achievements but refused to accept the reward. I was really impressed."
"Because I was the one who built all those bandit dens back then." Wang Qiang stood up but lowered his head. "I am also a bandit after all. How dare I ask for a reward from the general? It is the greatest gift that you can let me go."
Wang Qiang said with a guilty conscience, "I was young and ignorant, so I ran away from home and thought being a bandit was very impressive, so I joined the bandits. But later I saw them killing innocent people, and I felt that I was wrong. But I couldn't leave. Later they needed to build a new house, and they captured some old workers. I took the initiative to apply to supervise them in building the house. While watching them, I secretly followed the old workers to learn how to build a house. When the house was built, I secretly released all the old workers."
"If we don't let them go, those old workers will definitely be killed by them." Wang Qiang knew that the leader would never expose the dens and would definitely kill these old workers, so that no one would know where the dens were.
"I released those old workers. When the leader found out, he was going to chop off my hands in public. Fortunately, the general saved me." Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"I was wondering how you could be so familiar with these dens. Some of them don't even look like bandit dens. It turns out you built all the houses!" Fang Chen laughed.
"I stayed there for a few years and finally got a break. The only thing I wanted was to go home. After I got home, I got married and built houses for others with the skills I learned from the old workers. I was able to make ends meet for my family." Wang Qiang said with a wry smile. "Then I met a girl, oh no, a lady, and with her guidance, I made some money."
"The general and his wife are both my saviors." Wang Qiang said.
"Don't call me Madam, just call me sister. We are in different places. His life-saving grace is different from mine, haha." Ji Xiaowu laughed. "This really makes me feel that this world is so small. After all these twists and turns, we are so destined to be together."
"I never thought that the two benefactors of my life would become husband and wife." Wang Qiang looked at Fang Chen and Ji Xiaomu and agreed with what Ji Xiaomu said.
"If it's the general, I think the madam's plan will definitely succeed. The general will be in charge of external affairs, and the madam will be in charge of internal affairs. It's a powerful combination." Wang Qiang thought of Ji Xiaomu's plan just now, and his eyes lit up.
"Don't talk about my wife. I'm used to hearing you call me sister. You can be considered my benefactor. If you hadn't been willing to spend money to buy my drawings, how could I have the first capital to open a store, and there wouldn't have been a series of events that followed." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile. She was also grateful to Wang Qiang.
If Wang Qiang had not taken a fancy to her drawings and spent a hundred taels of silver to buy them, she would not have been able to open a pastry shop and cooperate with Bai Yichen. That money helped her a lot.
"Everyone takes what they need." Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"So don't call me Madam, just call me sister. I've always treated you as my brother." Ji Xiaowu said with a smile, "If you call me Madam again, it will be awkward. Besides, when I met you, I wasn't married to him yet! Logically, he should call you brother-in-law."
“No, no, no, this is against the rules. I knew the general first…” Wang Qiang’s face turned red with shock. How dare he let Fang Chen call him brother? He waved his hands in fear.
"Brother-in-law." Fang Chen spoke directly, leaving Wang Qiang stunned instantly.
“……Eh!” Wang Qiang was so scared that he responded quickly.
