199 Plans
In front of Little Ah Yu, Old Madam w.a.n.g was always a benevolent grandmother.
Now, this matter was no longer just known by the w.a.n.g Family. There was a risk of being exposed to outsiders.
Ah Yu was young and not exposed to the world. This was understandable. Even adults could not hide their tracks sometimes.
Not to mention that Ah Yu was only four years old.
But even if the child didn’t know, didn’t the Immortal behind the child know?
Was the Guardian G.o.d really protecting Ah Yu and not harming her?
Chen Yuan was clearly a shrewd person. Although his eyes were clear, and he did not look like a sneaky person.
But which businessman in this world did not think about their own interests?
Why did the Immortal let Ah Yu expose her greatest secret to outsiders?
Little Ah Yu waited for Old Madam w.a.n.g to speak to her, but Old Madam w.a.n.g only looked at her and did not say a word. This made Little Ah Yu panic a little.
“Grandma…”
Old Madam w.a.n.g thought that she had to teach Little Ah Yu a lesson this time and let her know that there were some things that she could not tell outsiders.
Her life would be in danger!
However, before her sharp gaze could appear, she saw Little Ah Yu looking pitiful, as if she was frightened by her.
Old Madam w.a.n.g’s heart suddenly softened.
She remembered that when she first saw Little Ah Yu, she was as thin as a monkey. Her face was red from the fever.
When she opened her eyes, they were especially like the w.a.n.g Aibao she remembered.
At that time, Old Madam w.a.n.g treated Little Ah Yu as her treasure and almost wanted to protect her with her life.
However, after interacting with her for a short while, Old Madam w.a.n.g knew that this young lady was different from her daughter.
w.a.n.g Aibao and w.a.n.g Chuanman were twins, but their treatment was worlds apart.
The three elder sons almost placed all their attention on w.a.n.g Aibao and were not so concerned about their younger brother.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Aibao was a little pampered when she was young. Even when they were living in the wilderness, w.a.n.g Aibao had never been hungry.
Little Ah Yu was different. She had been especially sensible since she arrived at the w.a.n.g Family. She was so obedient that it made one’s heart ache.
Old Madam w.a.n.g deliberately let the w.a.n.g Family dote on Little Ah Yu because she did not want to see the little fellow suffer such a heavy psychological burden.
Later on, Little Ah Yu became more lively, but she still had persistence in her bones. Even though she was lively and mischievous, she never crossed the line.
Instead, it made people feel that she was especially sensible at such a young age.
Old Madam w.a.n.g never dared to think too deeply about Ah Yu’s life before she met the w.a.n.g Family.
Now that she saw Little Ah Yu’s uneasy expression, Old Madam w.a.n.g could only sigh deeply in her heart and hug her.
She said softly, “Ah Yu, tell Grandma why you wanted to reveal your secret to that person.”
Because they were outside, Old Madam w.a.n.g did not make it very clear.
[Your Grandma wants to ask about the Myriad Spirit Water.]
Little Ah Yu had lied about this once. Now that she realized it, she still felt guilty.
She did not want to lie to Grandma now, so she told Old Madam w.a.n.g the truth.
Old Madam w.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief.
What mission was she going to complete?
Indeed, if it was just a simple bun recipe, it would be good enough if it could be sold for 100 taels.
The other party’s offer was 800 taels and was very sincere. However, she insisted on the price of 1,000 taels. There was indeed a reason for that.
According to Old Madam w.a.n.g, Ah Yu already had two missions. One was to plant 500 taels worth of food in the fields. Previously, under Old Madam w.a.n.g’s control, there was not much left to complete the mission.
Now, there was another mission, and it was also related to money.
Old Madam w.a.n.g could not help but wonder if Ah Yu’s Guardian G.o.d was a G.o.d of Wealth.
Day by day, it only thought about how to earn money.
What worried Old Madam w.a.n.g the most was whether the Guardian G.o.d behind her wanted to complete the mission or protect Ah Yu.
Which was more important?
If the mission was more important than Ah Yu, Old Madam w.a.n.g had to think of a way to control the Guardian G.o.d.
Otherwise, her good granddaughter would be killed by it sooner or later.
Initially, Old Madam w.a.n.g only wanted to negotiate 1,000 taels with her negotiating skills. If they could reach an agreement, they would talk. If not, the discussion would end.
However, since it was Ah Yu’s mission, she had to negotiate properly.
The well in the bun shop should have been tampered with by Ah Yu. Otherwise, the taste of the buns would not be like that.
Old Madam w.a.n.g had figured this out herself and did not tell Ah Yu.
When Chen Yuan returned, it was already 15 minutes later.
Chen Yuan thought that he had eaten something bad and almost pa.s.sed out from the horrible diarrhea.
Unexpectedly, after p.o.o.ping for a while, he felt comfortable all over and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
No, if there was really anything, it was that his legs were a little numb from squatting.
Could it be that cup of cold tea just now?
That shouldn’t be the case. How could there be such an immediate effect?
In the past few days since he came to Nanhe Town, the food he ate was not considered adventurous. He had never been greedy, so he naturally did not eat much.
When he tidied up and returned to the guest room to change his clothes, he returned to the private room and realized that Old Madam w.a.n.g had already left.
Chen Yuan’s lips curled up.
It seemed that the old lady was unwilling to discuss the business further.
Forget it, he would leave 500 taels for the little benefactor. He would take it as repayment.
Just as he was about to leave, the waiter arrived, holding a plate of fruits.
“Sir, you’re back? Just now, someone from the w.a.n.g Family invited the Old Madam back. The Old Madam left with Ah Yu. Before they left, they left this plate of fruits as an apology. In addition, they also left a message saying that if you’re interested, you can dine at the w.a.n.g Family for lunch.”
Hearing the waiter’s words, Chen Yuan’s heart did not waver. He even thought that he would forget about the business with the w.a.n.g Family.
He could tell that the old lady was not interested in this deal, and he was not willing to press his face against the cold shoulders of the other party.
Chen Yuan took the plate of fruits and noticed that the waiter’s eyes were filled with envy.
“Is there anything special about this fruit?” Chen Yuan asked.
The waiter immediately said, “Hey, speaking of this fruit, it was planted by the w.a.n.g Family. No one else can grow it. Their family has a small stall beside the bun shop that sells candied haws. Did you see it? The raw materials for the candied haws are this fruit. It’s for sale.”
What the waiter did not say was that the fruit in front of him was even larger than the fruits used to make the candied haws. It tasted even better.
This was because Little Ah Yu had left two for the waiter. He was originally greedy and ate them in two or three bites. He was still savoring the aftertaste.
If not for the friendship established with the two fruits, the waiter would have taken this plate of fruits away.
Chen Yuan pondered.
In that case, the w.a.n.g Family was at least quite nice, so he planned to make a trip to the w.a.n.g Family.
Since he was going to eat lunch, he naturally could not wait until it was time to eat. He planned to go to the surrounding shops to see if anyone sold gifts that could be used for house visits.
By the time Chen Yuan finished buying and carried a box of gifts to Old man w.a.n.g’s house, Old Madam w.a.n.g had already told the w.a.n.g Family about the matter, indicating that if they really wanted to sell the recipe, she would follow the plan in her heart.
She only told them not to interrupt no matter what, not to speak, and not to make other inappropriate expressions.
