Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Mistress, the patients in the West District have basically all taken their medicine. Those who have taken their medicine these two days will generally not come to the wine shop again.” If they were not going to the wine shop again, it proved that they had gotten rid of their previous reliance on the narcotic drug, and the pain in their bodies had disappeared.
...“Alright, it’s been hard on you these past few days, Uncle Hea. You and Uncle Murong should have a good rest.”
After Su Ying finished eating, she went to check on Number One and the rest. Those who didn’t need to recuperate followed her to the West District.
Xiao Jin, on the other hand, went to the Tiger Base to gather manpower in case conflicts erupted when they reorganized the West District.
Su Ying had brought a few big carts of potatoes to the West District. She brought the potatoes with her so that the people there would come out obediently. After all, in this place, food was more attractive than money.
When they arrived at the West District, Jiang Yang led a group of people to various streets. As they walked, they beat the gongs and drums as they yelled, “Everyone, come out. There’s free food at the entrance of the West District. As long as you queue up orderly, you’ll get a share.”
When the people who were huddled in the corners of the West District heard that there was free stuff, they all came out and walked towards the entrance.
Number One and the others stood in a line in front of the carts to stop people from grabbing the potatoes.
“Where’s the food? Give it to us quickly.”
“I want it too. There are three people in my family, so I want three servings.”
The moment these people came out, they started clamoring. Su Ying’s chilly eyes swept across them. “If you want food, you better be quiet. Otherwise, you won’t get anything.”
Su Ying’s icy and powerful voice caused everyone to quieten down. They all started to stare at the horse carriage behind Su Ying, their eyes filled with eagerness.
Soon, more and more people came out, and the whole area was eventually filled with a black mass of people.
“If you want to get the potatoes, shut your mouth.”
Su Ying placed the megaphone on her throat without anyone noticing. When she spoke again, even the last person standing right at the back of the crowd could hear her clearly.
“Everyone in the West District, listen up. From today, the West District will be under the jurisdiction of the East District. From now on, you must listen to the orders of the East District and act according to the rules of the East District. Those who disobey will not be spared!
“Why should we listen to the East District? Who the hell do the people from the East District think they are?”
“That’s right. The people from the East District didn’t even dare to step into our West District before. Now you want to control us?”
Su Ying’s icy almond-shaped eyes swept across their faces. “I’m here to inform you, not to discuss with you. If anyone from the West District is willing to join the East District, we will teach you survival skills. You will be able to obtain food to fill your stomachs, and your children will be able to read and study. Women don’t have to worry about their safety because we, the East District, will never allow those beasts that violate you to live.”
Su Ying’s words moved many of the women. They had had enough of the dark days in the West District.
“Now, all those who are willing to submit to the East District, stand to my right. Those who are unwilling, stand to my left.”
Murong De who was standing in the crowd immediately went to the right.
Perhaps it was because he took the lead, but those who didn’t dare to move before all went to the right. Gradually, more and more people went to the right.
However, Su Ying saw that most of the people who stood on the right were women with children or small families. The men who were unattached stood to the left with a look of discontent.
However, most people were still willing to change the current situation to lead a better life here.
“Number One, give a potato to each person on the right.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Number One and a few others carried the potatoes from the carriage and began to distribute them to the people on the right. One for each person was not much, but to these people who had not eaten anything for a few days, it was particularly precious.
Those people standing on the left were not happy. “When we came here just now, you didn’t say that only those who submit will get food. What? You are toying with me?”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked indifferently at that man who spoke. “You can choose to submit.”
“Bah! Why should I listen to a woman like you?”
“You’re wrong. You are not listening to me, Su Ying, but to everyone’s expectations. There are two paths for people like you who don’t want to be disciplined. First, leave the Tiger Base and go somewhere else. I don’t care how you rot to death there.”
“The Tiger Base doesn’t belong to you. You think we’ll leave just because you tell us to?”
“Of course, you have a second option. That is, to step over my dead body.”
“Hah! What an arrogant attitude. Brothers, let them know how powerful we are. Otherwise, they’ll think that they can make a scene in the West District as they please!”
Su Ying looked at the person on her left and let out a long breath of resignation. “It seems like I’m not the right person to win people over by virtue.”
Su Ying got off the horse nimbly and went to the man who was the most arrogant. Before he could do anything, she gave him a big slap on the mouth. “Argh!”
The man was hit so hard that his entire body bounced out.
“Oof! You! Pfft!”
One, two, three, four, five, six teeth and blood were spat out of his mouth.
The rest of the people were shocked.
Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes turned sharp, flashing with chilly impatience. “Who else?”
“I… I don’t believe that we can’t even deal with a woman.”
Another person suddenly rushed out. Before he could get close, Su Ying lifted her knee and with one swing, the instep of her foot landed viciously on that person’s jaw.
“Oof!”
The man only heard the sound of bones breaking on his face.
Su Ying turned and looked at the stupefied group of people. She didn’t give them a chance to speak and slapped them one by one.
“Do you guys think you’re very powerful?”
Pow!
One slap was enough to make those people see stars.
“You want to step over my dead body? Hmph! Is it because my fists aren’t hard enough or do you think I’m not kicking high enough?”
After dozens of slaps, those people were completely dumbfounded.
Su Ying shook the hand that had turned red from slapping and returned to the front to look at them.
“All of you look as if you are on drugs and are as thin as a stick, unable to withstand a single blow. Do you think you’re very powerful? I’ll ask you again. Those who are willing to submit to the East District, stand on the right. Those who are not willing, tie them up and throw them out of the Tiger Base.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
The people who had been deceived didn’t have the courage to resist at all. They all scrambled to the right, afraid that Su Ying would think that they were standing on the left if they were too slow to move!
Su Ying showed no mercy to those who were particularly arrogant. She got people to tie them up and threw them out of the Tiger Base.
By the time Xiao Jin brought his men over to maintain order, Su Ying had already asked Tian Mu to help with the division of labor.
Xiao Jin was utterly speechless. “I seem a little redundant?” he thought.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jin noticed a sneaky figure hiding in the dark. When that figure saw Xiao Jin looking in his direction, he turned and fled..
