141 Decision to Cooperate

The people beside her did not pull her away because they could all see that it was Grandma Zhou who bullied the other party first.

Some quick-witted people had already regained their senses. Grandma Zhou’s reputation in Nanhe Town was not good, and she did not come here often. As soon as she returned, she caused such a huge commotion.

They did not believe that there was nothing fishy about it.

“Aiyo, I can’t live like this anymore. I was even beaten up in my own territory!”

“God, open your eyes.”

Grandma Zhou screamed for a long time, but she realized that everyone was ignoring her.

Instead, these people from the market came to watch the commotion.

She knew that this show of crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging herself was useless.

There were no officials in town, and even the ancestral hall was not often opened. Only the chief occasionally took charge.

When Grandma Zhou’s husband heard the commotion and rushed over, he was slapped in the face.

The slap was especially loud.

“You useless piece of trash! Your wife was beaten up. Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and take revenge! If you don’t beat them, don’t come back!”

Grandma Zhou’s husband’s face was filled with bitterness. “Why would I hit someone for no reason?”

Moreover, he didn’t know who to hit.

“I was beaten up. Didn’t you hear me?! Are you deaf?! Get lost and take revenge for me!”

Grandma Zhou’s husband was kicked in the knee again and almost knelt down on the street.

When the surrounding people saw this, their eyes widened.

Who would have thought that Grandma Zhou would be so valiant? They had never seen such a valiant person.

She was simply even more of a tigress than a real tigress.

In the inn, Murong Run waited for a long time. The tea was served a second time before he saw the servant arrive late.

Before Murong Run could ask, he told him everything that had happened.

“Alright, I understand. We’ll talk about this later.” In any case, they had already meddled in other people’s business. They could tie up the loose ends later, but now, they had to see if it was worth it.

Wang Dalang, Wang Erlang, and Wang Wulang’s hearts were in a mess, especially Wang Dalang. He was still thinking about how to answer his Grandma when he returned.

Wang Erlang wondered what that person’s goal was.

Wang Wulang kept looking at the servant eagerly. He was so powerful. Could he be his disciple?

He would secretly learn from this person and not let Grandma know.

In order to learn martial arts, he could come to town every day before dawn!

Only Little Ah Yu looked at Murong Run. “Big Brother Murong, hello. We meet again.”

Murong Run: “Yes. I specially came back to look for you.”

“Ah, why are you looking for me? Do you want to eat candied haws? But we’ve sold out.” Little Ah Yu frowned and was a little embarrassed. She said, “I’ll bring you more next time, okay?”

“We’ll talk about the candied haws next time. I want to ask you, do you still have the fruits you gave me two days ago?”

Little Ah Yu was about to say yes when Meatball reminded her not to agree immediately.

[He probably wants to buy those fruits of yours. Don’t give them to him directly. Tell him that you’ll give them to him tomorrow!]

Although Little Ah Yu did not understand why, the most obedient thing about her was that she listened to Meatball’s suggestions.

Therefore, Little Ah Yu said, “There’s more. But it’s at home. I’ll bring it over for you tomorrow.”

Little Ah Yu thought for a moment and took out two fruits from her pocket. She had indeed placed them in her pocket.

“Big Brother Murong, you can eat these two first. You won’t be hungry anymore after eating!” Little Ah Yu gave the two fruits to Murong Run and dug around in her pocket. She took out the remaining ones and distributed them to her three brothers.

She was a little embarrassed as there were only two remaining and she could only give one to the servant.

“Uncle, there are only two left. Let’s each eat one.” Little Ah Yu wanted to give them all to the servant, but she also wanted to eat.

The servant was flattered. He did not expect to have one too.

“Little girl, I don’t want it. Eat it yourself.”

“Eat it. I still have more at home. I’m not hungry after eating this!”

When they left, Madam Feng had prepared some dry food for them. Actually, it was just a few pancakes. Little Ah Yu wanted her brothers to eat more, so she would say that she had fruits in her pocket every time.

The children of the Wang family were used to eating the fruits given by Little Ah Yu.

Previously, they still suspected where Little Ah Yu’s fruits came from. Later on, they saw Chi Jia pluck a large bunch of fruits and let Little Ah Yu carry the entire branch away.

The branch was filled with larger and redder fruits.

Later on, they saw the lamb holding a few fruits in its mouth that they had never seen before.

They knew that other than the fruits they had found, there were also fruits brought by Mr. Chi and the little lamb.

They, who were good at imagining things, quickly figured out the logic. There was no need for Little Ah Yu to explain herself.

In the end, the servant still took the fruit. He planned to leave this fruit for the Young Master. Murong Run gestured for him to eat it himself.

“I plan to buy this fruit from your family. How many do you have? How much do you plan to sell it for?” Murong Run said directly, “I’ll buy as much as you have. Is 50 taels of silver enough?”

Wang Dalang’s eyes widened. He had never seen 50 taels of silver before!

They had never even heard of such a huge number!

Wang Erlang was also shocked.

Seeing that they were silent, Murong Run simply took out a banknote from his pocket. “It shouldn’t be easy to nurture this fruit. Forget it, 100 taels it is.”

On the other hand, Wang Wulang moved quickly and held the banknote in his hand.

A smile flashed across Murong Run’s eyes.

After all, these were kids born in a small place. 100 taels was enough to move them.

If it were the children of other aristocratic families who knew that he was looking for food to his liking, they might ask for an exorbitant price. That was not something that 100 taels could solve.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wulang held the banknote in his hand for a long time and curled his lips. “Is this the banknote that Elder Wu mentioned? It’s not that amazing!”

With that, he lightly threw the banknote back onto the table.

He did not care about the value of the banknote at all.

Old Master Hu had said that money was just a worldly possession. Of course, Wang Wulang did not understand this sentence, but he liked the other sentence better. Treat money like dirt.

Although Wang Wulang did not have any money now, it did not stop him from treating money as dirt.

He did not have money, but he had plenty of dirt.

In the end, the Wang family’s children still took the 100 taels of silver away. They were not old and did not have much experience in social relations. Even if Murong Run was also young, he was much more knowledgeable than them and convinced them with a few words.

Moreover, they had agreed to send those fruits over on the second day.

However, the brothers were not confident. They did not even know what fruits they were talking about. Where did Little Ah Yu’s fruits come from?

When they slowly walked out of town, they suddenly remembered that they had forgotten something.

“Did we forget something??”

“Don’t think about it. We must have forgotten to buy food. That’s not important. Let’s bring the things back to Grandma first! Let’s go home early!”

What if someone robbed them on the way?

The next time they went out, they had to bring the lamb with them.

Speaking of the lamb, they remembered that they had a conflict with someone on the street.

Eh, why didn’t those people follow over?

After they left, Murong Run’s expression turned cold. “Go and investigate why those people are unhappy with these children.”

The person he had decided to cooperate with could not be bullied by others.

He was clearly just a youth, but his words were especially mature.

The servant left.
