"Haha, you're lying. How can that stingy shopkeeper Cao make a poor relative like you beat the autumn wind?" Mr. Zheng stared at Ruan Xiangxiang with his small eyes: "I don't think you are like a distant cousin who suddenly appeared, but more like a distant cousin who suddenly appeared.
They are robbing thieves."
As soon as Mr. Zheng finished speaking, Tietou immediately stepped forward, spread his legs, and took a stance, looking like he was going to fight.
Ruan Xiangxiang said hurriedly: "Sir, please stop joking. Look at my small body, can I be a bandit? The reason why my cousin Cao kept me is because I told him that I can do it alone.
It’s the work of those two guys, and I don’t need any wages, as long as I have food to eat, I’ll be satisfied.”
"Can you do the work of those two guys by yourself?" Boss Zheng looked unbelieving: "With your small body, huh!"
Ruan Xiangxiang suddenly approached Mr. Zheng and lowered her voice and said: "Master, don't believe it. My father is a pig butcher. I have been following my father to kill pigs since I was five years old. My ability to kill pigs and remove their meat is also great."
How can those two boys compare?"
Ruan Xiangxiang's voice was cold and filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.
As she spoke, a semi-circular machete suddenly appeared in her hand. In front of Boss Zheng, she played with the machete as if it was for fun, scaring Boss Zheng so much that he took a few steps back.
"Put the knife away quickly." Boss Zheng pointed at the knife and said tremblingly.
He never expected that shopkeeper Cao would tell the young man in front of him all his secret business. It seemed that this child was really his cousin.
Ruan Xiangxiang said "Oh" and put the knife away blankly.
Boss Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then why did your cousin suddenly think of going to Yuan'an City?"
"It's a coincidence." Ruan Xiangxiang began to make up again: "Although many refugees have come to the county recently, not many actually stay here. Seeing that the business cannot continue, sir, you gave me
The price was too low, so my cousin thought about making a big deal.
It happened that a distinguished customer came to the store yesterday. He looked at his cousin's goods and expressed his satisfaction, so he immediately paid a deposit of three hundred taels.
As long as my cousin can deliver the two goods safely to Yuan'an City, I will pay another three hundred taels."
"So, he won't have any goods for me in the next few days?" Boss Zheng asked with some regret.
Ruan Xiangxiang nodded: "Yes, my cousin asked me to stay and watch the store for him. No, he also asked me to post this outside."
As he spoke, he showed the closure notice written by Chu Munan.
Boss Zheng glanced up and down and saw that it was indeed shopkeeper Cao's handwriting, so he no longer doubted it.
He waved to Tietou: "Let's go, I didn't catch anything today, go back."
Tietou agreed and followed Boss Zheng out the door.
Ruan Xiangxiang followed and sent the two to the door.
Boss Zheng walked to the threshold and suddenly turned back.
Ruan Xiangxiang's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm: "What else can I do, sir?"
Boss Zheng: "After your cousin comes back, inform me as soon as possible."
"This..." Ruan Xiangxiang hesitated: "I only listen to my cousin. He asked me to inform the elder, and then I can inform the elder."
"What a silly boy." Boss Zheng muttered and gestured to Tietou.
Tietou stepped forward, took out a broken piece of silver from his pocket, and threw it to Ruan Xiangxiang.
Ruan Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment and quickly jumped up to catch it. She looked very clumsy and funny.
