Bab 69: 69. Lou family arrived
He bowed deeply towards her and walked back swiftly while Mingli looked at his back. "Miss, you still didn't sign a contract with him."
A smile appeared on her lips as she glanced at Bolin's broad back. "Waiting to see when will he ask me."
Mingli rubbed his hands and clapped. "It will happen early or later. The trap around his neck will close and he will willingly stay by your side."
Shu Ya blinked at him. "What trap?"
"Cuteness trap miss, cuteness trap." He chuckled at her confused expression. "Actually miss, me and Mingyu did plan to be your guards, but your cuteness trapped us and now you won't be able to get rid of us. Now we are part of your family and you are part of ours. Kang family... Bai family... tsk .. their loss. Miss just needs to think of us as your older brothers." Mingli chuckled as she suddenly became red.
Shu Ya felt warm. Indeed. Since the very beginning, these two overprotective people treated her as a younger sister. She turned her head and saw warmth coming from his eyes. She pouted. "You want to be my brother? Deal. But big brother needs to be a big brother. You have to cut off that miss and call me by name. And we will destroy the death contract."
Mingli patted her head now openly. "Shu Ya, I will call you your name privately but in front of others I will call you 'miss'. There are many eyes watching you now. In future, you can take us as brothers, but now I need to stay your guard, servant and person of trust so I can openly stabilize servants around you. As your brother, they might think I'm taking advantage of a small child. But when you grow up a bit..."
Shu Ya understood what he was saying. "People don't take me seriously as I'm a child. Good. But next time I ask you to become my brother you can't deny it. You offered it fist you can't pull back.''
Mingli shook his head. ''For now, I will be your secret brother. But later much later you can accept us as brothers officially. If you still have the same thoughts. Leave death contracts as they are. We have no way to understand what will happen in future.''
Shu Ya sighed. ''Mingli, tell me how old ae you and your brother?''
''I am twenty and Mingyu is eighteen. Why?'' He saw her with an open mouth and started laughing. ''You thought we are twins? Everyone thinks the same. No, I am older, he is younger. I have no idea why he looks just the same.''
Shu Ya shook her head to get out daze and started laughing. ''Mingli I think you two must shave those beards off. I thought you two are older than that.''
He brushed over his face and chuckled. ''It was our intention. People do not take easily orders from two young boys. I still think my beard makes me looks handsome.'' He proudly rose his he's to show off, making Shu Ya giggle.
With grins on their faces, they came back and saw carriage standing in front of the main gate. A young man stood there and spoke to people inside. ''Miss Bai told me to come here.''
Xin scratches his head. ''Our miss just went out for a walk, could you wait just a bit. I can't let you in without her permission.''
Mingli hit his head. ''I forgot to tell them.'' Shu Ya chuckled but then became serious and walked a bit faster.
Just when he was about turn around a young voice could be heard from the carriage. ''She is here.'' A boys head popped out the window and happily smiled at Shu Ya. ''Miss Bai, we came.''
Shu Ya nodded. ''Good. Xin, open the gate so they can come in.''
Xin opened gates widely and the carriage entered. The kids started pouring out the carriage with small packages in their hands. Each child had a small bundle. Probably clothes.
''Miss I sold everything I had and came here. I have few children that are older and can work in here as servants. Only the two little ones are still too young. But I will work for them as well.'' The man looked at her with a worried expression and tried to explain.
''Mr Lou I didn't ask you to come here to become my servant. You will become the owner of the store. Over the wintertime, you will create toys and things I ask you about. In spring you and kids will transfer to the city and will sell those. If it works well I will open store for you. How you will do is your thing. I will definitely invest money. You can or pay me back or give me a percentage of the win. Your choice.'' She pointed ta far corner. ''Those are your dormitories until we don't find a house in city fo you and your family.''
Lou was completely baffled. '' Miss, I know your heart, but those few things that I can create cant be that important.''
Shu Ya smiled. ''I have few ideas. When we open a store you might as well become quite wealthy and look down on me later on.''
Lou shook his head. ''Never in my life. Miss, I planned to open a wood carving store, wouldn't that be better?'' Woodcarvers are paid better and can get big contracts.
Shu Ya saw her idea floating down the river and sighed. ''Do what you think it's safe for you to have as steady earning. But over the wintertime teach your children woodcarving. I still hope to open toystore.''
Lou nodded. ''That is possible, miss. My two older boys are good with their hands as well and the younger one is interested in wood carving as well. If you let them do the work I will just repair their smaller mistakes. I can check on their work and make changes as well.''
Shu Ya nodded. ''Then let's do it that way. Over the wintertime, you and boys will produce as many toys as possible. I will invest in a toy store that could be as well your office for wood carving business.''
The two clapped hands and smiled at each other under Xin's astonished face. ''I thought they are new servants... who would have thought.''
