Chapter 365 Let Go of that Girl

I was startled, the store manager was right!

In my current state, my arms are hugging the barrel tightly, my face is also pressed against the barrel, and even my body is tightly pressed against the barrel, leaving no space at all for hanging a stack of clothing bags.

However, I have a habit that is different from ordinary people, that is, I save small money but not big money. It is right to say that I am good at living, and it is right to say that I am stingy. In short, when buying something, no matter how expensive it is, I should bear it. I can afford it, but I can't bear to spend the small amount of money I spent on delivering things.

So, I took a chance and asked him: "Is it free to give something away?"

The store manager responded: "It's free, sir."

"Okay then" I chuckled, slowly placed the barrel in my arms on the ground, picked up my clothes bag, and said, "Then I'll help you all."

Store manager:? ! ! !

"Sir?" The store manager looked confused: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, isn't it free to give away things?"

The store manager had a stern look on his face: "Sir, I said the clothes are free for you."

"Oh, I don't need you to deliver the clothes. Just deliver this for me."

"Sir, first."

I just walked forward and never looked back.

This is a reputable clothing store, and the store manager is a moral store manager. It's a pity that he met such a shameless customer like me, so...

I hummed a song and walked home casually, followed by three panting clerks, carefully carrying a large bucket of watermelon juice.

Before, it was a gamble for me to just put the barrel on the ground and turn around and leave. I bet that the responsible store manager would definitely send someone to deliver it.

As it turned out, I was right.

I saved a lot of energy, and I felt very happy. As for the three clerks who helped me carry the barrel, I don't know whether they were happy or not, but I will not treat them badly in the end.

When we arrived at the door of the house, I directed the three of us to place the barrels against the wall.

After putting down the barrel, the three of them wiped their sweat and hurried back without even taking a breath.

I stopped them, reached into my arms, took out three silver coins, put them into their hands one by one, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

The three of them nodded and bowed, thanked them endlessly, and left happily after a while.

I patted the barrel and looked at the pile of clothes bags in my hands. I decided to put the clothes bags back home first and talk about the barrel later. No one else could steal them anyway. After a lot of effort, I found a bucket full of watermelon juice. It would be strange if it didn't collapse.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that everyone had already gotten up and had finished washing up. Those who should sit and rest were sitting and resting, and those who should be chatting were chatting.

Lizzy was sitting on a small bench. There was a wooden basin in front of her. There was half a basin of clean water in it. On the other side, there was a small pile of dirty clothes.

At this moment, she was rubbing the clothes in the basin hard, sweat dripping from her forehead. Beside her, Lily was holding a small handkerchief, constantly wiping her sweat.

I was not happy at that time. As soon as I threw the things away, I started shouting: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing? How shameless are you asking a little girl to work so hard to wash your dirty clothes?"

As soon as I shouted, everyone's attention was attracted to me. I could feel that the faces of several grown men were quite embarrassed.

Loki ran up to me flatteringly and said with a playful smile: "Boss, you are back. This is what happened."

As he spoke, he came closer to me and whispered: "Lizzy wanted to do it, we didn't force her. I told her to leave it there and we could wash it ourselves, but she just refused."

As I listened, my face darkened.

In fact, I have understood what Loki said, but I also have an attitude when it comes to this matter. More importantly, I don't know how much moisture there is in Loki's words.

Yes, he really won't lie to me, but that doesn't mean he won't deliberately embellish some of the process and push all the responsibilities to other places.

I coughed and waved to Lizzy.

Li Zi put down what she was doing and ran over with small steps, a look of confusion and worry on her face.

Before I could speak, she spoke first: "Xiao, brother Xiaoyi, I, I was wrong."

I was immediately confused, what is going on?

I knelt down and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Lizi stared at me with big blank eyes, but couldn't say a word.

I understand, she doesn’t know what’s going on at all, she just habitually admits her mistakes first. This may be related to her living environment. In that kind of living environment where she is bullied, even if the weak are beaten up, they will not be blamed. When you are in trouble, you must first admit your mistake. Only in this way will you avoid another beating.

This kind of personality cannot be changed in a short while, but it can be changed slowly through the environment.

Now that I have brought her here, I decided to change her myself.

"You are not wrong," I said with a smile, "and don't say you are wrong casually in the future. Here, right is right, and wrong is wrong. There is no need to show weakness, no one will bully you, and there is no need to feel inferior. Because there seems to be no noble-born guy in this guild. Even if there is, there is no need to look high, just look at him levelly. You have to remember one thing, this is our guild and our home. Here, there is no oppression and no Discrimination, let alone the so-called law of the jungle, everyone is equal and needs to help each other. Only in this way can our guild and our family survive for a longer time, do you understand?"

Li Zi nodded her head in understanding, like a bird pecking at something.

I touched her head and said, "Okay, now tell me, who asked you to wash these dirty clothes?"

Li Zi's little mouth opened wide for a while before she said: "Yes, it's me."

"Did you take the initiative to wash it?" I asked, "Didn't anyone force you?"

She shook her head vigorously, biting her lip, and after a while, she said: "I, I'm trying hard, I, I want to stay."

Seeing her serious expression, I took a long breath and relaxed.

"Silly girl" I said as I held her in my arms.

This delicate and boneless body became a little stiff in my arms. It might be the first time for her to be hugged by a man like this, so she was nervous.

"Don't worry, you are already a member of our guild," I said softly, "Don't try to please others again, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay" Li Zi stammered, unable to say the word '的'.

Just when I was hugging the weak and boneless girl, Cagalli pushed the door open and shouted loudly: "Let go of that girl and come to me!"
