Chapter 463: The Tragic Lan Family Elders (2)
“Okay.” Leng Qingtian nodded in agreement.
“It’s getting late. Everyone, rest early!” Leng Ruoxue looked at the time and said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and went to rest.
The next morning, The First Elder and Third Elder arrived at the inn early to await orders.
In the living room.
“If any of you need them to do anything today, just tell them.” Leng Ruoxue suppressed her smile and looked at the sleepy First Elder and Third Elder.
“Uh! Yes! Just let me know if there’s anything!” The First Elder wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said politely. However, he couldn’t help thinking in his heart that these people wouldn’t really want them to do manual labor, right? He was the First Elder of the Lan family!
“Uh! Lan Hong is willing to carry out orders as well!” The Third Elder also said.
“Hehe, then serve me to change my clothes and wash up first! Then accompany me to the medicinal herb exchange to set up a stall!” Old Man Zao said bluntly.
“Are you going to dominate both of them? No way!” the old man said with some displeasure.
“Why not? I have a lot to do today!” Old Man Zao said with some displeasure.
“So what? They’re not your only servants. They belong to all of us,” the old man said matter-of-factly.
“Lass, what do you think?” Old Man Zao looked at Leng Ruoxue pleadingly, asking her to say something fair!
“Uh! Old Man Zao, you should take one of them away! As for the other one! You have to let him serve the others too!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
“Alright, I’ll listen to the lass. Give me the Third Elder!” Old Man Zao said after some thought. However, he was thinking about how to torment the Third Elder.
“Ruoxue, can you share the First Elder with me?” Lin Liang asked.
“No, the First Elder is mine,” the old man roared at the top of his lungs.
“Stop arguing. First Elder will follow Grandpa Lin in the morning. His usage rights in the afternoon will go to the old man!” Leng Ruoxue said very fairly.
“Xue’er, when can we order the First Elder around?” Leng Qingtian said with some dissatisfaction.
“Tomorrow, Grandpa. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Leng Ruoxue suppressed her smile and comforted him.
“That’s true. First Elder, go back and tell your patriarch. If he can’t bear to pay, he can also work for us to repay his debts,” Leng Qingtian said very seriously. His tone and demeanor seemed to be thinking for the Lan family.
“Uh!” The First Elder’s forehead was full of black lines. He was very speechless, and he couldn’t help but grumble in his heart, What’s wrong with you ordering us around? It’s not enough with the two of us. You actually want the Patriarch to be your servant too!
“Grandpa, the patriarch of the Lan family would rather pay than come to our house to be a servant. That old man loves his pride!” Leng Ruoxue said very understandingly. In fact, she had been laughing in her heart for a long time. Hehe, Grandpa and the others had learned bad things. They didn’t care when it came to teasing people!
“Oh! That’s a pity,” Leng Qingtian said with a regretful face.
“Yes! What a pity. I’ve never used the patriarch as a servant before!” Old Man Zao echoed.
“You…” The Third Elder was speechless. He really didn’t know how these people’s heads grew. They actually dared to have such thoughts. Alas! If the patriarch knew, he would definitely be angered to death!
“Little Third, follow me!” Old Man Zao said to the Third Elder with a smile.
However, the Third Elder still stood there without any reaction.
Old Man Zao patted the Third Elder’s shoulder angrily and said with displeasure, “I’m talking to you. Are you pretending not to hear me?”
“Are you talking to me? Weren’t you calling someone called Little Third? You didn’t call for me!” The Third Elder said aggrievedly. Boohoo… Why were the people around Leng Ruoxue so unreasonable?
“I’m calling you! Aren’t you the Third Elder? From now on, you’ll be called Little Third around here!” Old Man Zao gave the Third Elder a name domineeringly and said without allowing him to refute.
“Erm… the name Little Third is really too unpleasant. Can we change to another one?” Third Elder discussed pitifully. His dignity would be lost if everyone in the Lan family heard him being called Little Third!
“No, Little Third is simple and easy to remember. This is it. In fact, you don’t have to be angry. He will be called Little First!” Old Man Zao pointed at the First Elder and smiled cunningly.
“Little First? Me?” First Elder pointed at himself and asked. Could he be hallucinating?
“It’s you. You’ll be called Little First from now on!” Old Man Zao said with certainty.
“I don’t want to be called Little First. You can call me First Elder!” Lan Hong objected. He firmly opposed this name!
“There’s no First Elder here. You’re just a servant of our family!” Old Man Zao reminded.
“Uh! Then you can call me Lan Hong. Anyway, I don’t want to be called Little First!” The First Elder objected strongly.
“It’s alright if you don’t want to be called Little First,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, her bright eyes full of calculations.
“Uh! Lass, what are your conditions?” The First Elder said understandingly. Alas! This little girl had some rotten ideas again.
“Haha, look at all of us. There’s definitely not enough with just you and the Third Elder as our servants! Isn’t your Second Elder very free?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a smile.
“Yes, he’s very free!” The Third Elder interrupted impatiently before the First Elder could answer.
“Then you can ask him for help! If he comes, you can repay more of your debts every day!” Leng Ruoxue enticed like a big gray wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood.
“Lass, if we bring him here, can you not call me Little Third? However, I don’t object to you calling him Little Second!” The Third Elder said very disloyally.
“No problem. You can get anyone in the Lan Family that you are not happy with to work to repay your debts!” Leng Ruoxue said with a naughty smile.
“Uh! Lass, will Lan Ning’er do?” The Third Elder asked carefully.
