Chapter 199
199 Plans
In front of Little Ah Yu, Old Madam Wang was always a benevolent grandmother.
Now, this matter was no longer just known by the Wang 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 God 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 Wang to speak to her, but Old Madam Wang only looked at her and did not say a word. This made Little Ah Yu panic a little.
“Grandma…”
Old Madam Wang 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 Wang’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 Wang Aibao she remembered.
At that time, Old Madam Wang 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 Wang knew that this young lady was different from her daughter.
Wang Aibao and Wang Chuanman were twins, but their treatment was worlds apart.
The three elder sons almost placed all their attention on Wang Aibao and were not so concerned about their younger brother.
Therefore, Wang Aibao was a little pampered when she was young. Even when they were living in the wilderness, Wang Aibao had never been hungry.
Little Ah Yu was different. She had been especially sensible since she arrived at the Wang Family. She was so obedient that it made one’s heart ache.
Old Madam Wang deliberately let the Wang 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 Wang never dared to think too deeply about Ah Yu’s life before she met the Wang Family.
Now that she saw Little Ah Yu’s uneasy expression, Old Madam Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang the truth.
Old Madam Wang 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 Wang, Ah Yu already had two missions. One was to plant 500 taels worth of food in the fields. Previously, under Old Madam Wang’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 Wang could not help but wonder if Ah Yu’s Guardian God was a God of Wealth.
Day by day, it only thought about how to earn money.
What worried Old Madam Wang the most was whether the Guardian God 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 Wang had to think of a way to control the Guardian God.
Otherwise, her good granddaughter would be killed by it sooner or later.
Initially, Old Madam Wang 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 Wang 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 passed out from the horrible diarrhea.
Unexpectedly, after pooping 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang Family was at least quite nice, so he planned to make a trip to the Wang 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 Wang’s house, Old Madam Wang had already told the Wang 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.
