The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 377 - 377 Wealth

377 Wealth

Sister Huan carried the jar to the chicken coop. In the beginning, these chickens were raised by her and Brother Hao. Later on, Lin Shao and Miaomiao helped out too.

There were more than twenty chickens now.

The chicken coop was only built later.

Sister Huan threw the earthworms in. The chickens immediately fought to snatch the food.

“Hurry up and eat. We’re going back to the capital tomorrow. This is the last time we’ll feed you. Don’t blame us for not bringing you along.” Sister Huan sighed and muttered to the chickens for a while, her eyes filled with reluctance.

!!

She thought about getting Mo Yuan to kill a few chickens tonight. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to eat them anymore in the future.

After all, she raised it herself. It definitely tasted different from the chickens raised by other people.

“I heard that you were chased out back then. Why do you have to go back when you’re living here?” Liu Jinbao asked.

“You’re still young. There are many things you don’t understand.” Sister Huan was still sad and wasn’t in the mood to retort.

Liu Jinbao was speechless and reminded her, “I’m 11 years old, and so are you. I’m actually two months older than you.”

“Liu Jinbao, are you itching for a beating again?” Sister Huan was furious. This person was too good at ruining the atmosphere.

Liu Jinbao thought to himself, “Is it wrong to tell the truth?”

Madam Li brought Brother Hao and the others to the village to ask who wanted to buy chickens.

However, every family had chickens now. Even if they bought one or two chickens, it was for the sake of the Song family. Madam Li could tell, so she didn’t pressure them.

As for the families that did not raise chickens, they could not afford to raise them, of course they wouldn’t buy the chickens.

After circling the village, they returned.

“Mother, if no one wants to buy them, keep them for now. One Dot and the others still have to recuperate here for a period of time. When the time comes, let them bring the chickens to sell in the town,” Shen Yijia comforted.

Madam Li said, “Alright.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Huan ran over with Liu Jinbao. “Mother, Sister-in-law, I’ve sold all the chickens.”

“Sister Huan, you’re a girl. Why are you tugging at a boy? Hurry up and let go,” Madam Li said sternly.

Sister Huan let go and ran behind Shen Yijia.

Liu Jinbao moved her wrist and bowed to Madam Li with a red face. “Hello, Auntie.”

Madam Li’s expression warmed. She nodded and gestured for them to sit in the house.

She had been to the academy more than once, so she naturally knew Liu Jinbao. The first time she got called to the school was because Sister Huan and Brother Hao had beaten him up.

Apart from Lin Shao and Bruiser, Brother Hao, Sister Huan, and Miaomiao were all in the same class.

When Brother Hao heard the voice, he ran out and asked in surprise, “Liu Jinbao, why are you here? Are you here to see me?”

Unlike Sister Huan, Brother Hao had become friends with him after fighting. Now, the two of them have become best friends.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I only heard him say that he was Sister Huan’s classmate. I didn’t hear him mention Brother Hao.”

Liu Jinbao nodded. “Yes. Since you’re leaving, I came to send you off.”

Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. Were children so smart these days?

Madam Li invited them into the central room.

Hearing that Liu Jinbao wanted to buy all their chickens, Madam Li frowned and asked, “Can your family finish all the chickens you bought?”

Liu Jinbao said, “Definitely. I have a lot of family members.”

He could slowly eat them alone.

Madam Li still felt that it was inappropriate. After all, this was only a child. However, even after asking Liu Jinbao a few times, he insisted on buying it.

In the end, Shen Yijia decided to deliver it to Liu Jinbao’s family and ask them if they really wanted to buy the chickens before selling the chickens to them.

Liu Jinbao was silent. He did not understand why this family was so stubborn. Those chickens would not cost more than five taels of silver at most. As the precious son of the Liu family, of course he could afford to spend on these chickens.

Why did it seem like a huge business worth thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver?

However, he did not insist. In any case, his grandfather would not refuse his request.

His grandfather might even think that he didn’t have enough money to spend, since he had to request for these few taels of silver.

Afterwards, his grandfather gave him several more banknotes.

Shen Yijia had just returned from town when she had to make another trip.

However, this time, in addition to the 28 chickens, there were three more people in the carriage.

Brother Hao, Sister Huan, and Liu Jinbao.

Under Liu Jinbao’s guidance, the carriage stopped at the main entrance of the Liu residence.

The people living in this area were all rich people in Qingping Town. This was Shen Yijia’s first time here. The corners of Shen Yijia’s mouth twitched as she looked at the house in front of her.

The two lamps hanging at the door belonged to Liu Li, right? Shangguan Han had given her one before, but it was not as big as the one in front of her, let alone as ostentatious as this.

And the stone lion at the door was gilded, right?

Would they really not be robbed like this?

As if reading Shen Yijia’s mind, Liu Jinbao smiled dryly and explained, “My family has an escort agency.” He did not lack the protection of martial masters.

In the past, he also felt that this was especially imposing. However, after getting to know Brother Hao and Sister Huan and seeing their family today, he suddenly felt that this was a little silly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. They heard panicked voices saying things like “Hurry up and look everywhere.” The servants were frantic. “If you can’t find him, Master will skin you alive.”

The three of them looked at Liu Jinbao, who rubbed his nose. “I sneaked out.”

He rented a carriage to Xiagou Village. Because he did not know where the Song family lived, he asked the coachman to head back first. After they left, he was dumbfounded as he thought about how to go back.

Hence, Shen Yijia found him in front of her house, helpless and hesitant.

A group of servants ran out. When they saw Liu Jinbao, they almost cried tears of joy.

“Oh my, Young Master, you’re finally back. I was so anxious.”

“Quick, bring Young Master to see Master.”

“Manager Liu, can’t you see that I have guests?” Liu Jinbao said unhappily.

Manager Liu paused and looked at the other three people standing with Liu Jinbao.

Noticing their clothes, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes. He advised Liu Jinbao earnestly, “My young master, don’t tell me you’ve been tricked by someone again. Not everyone can be brought home. If you meet someone with ill intentions, things won’t go well.”

“Silence.” Liu Jinbao scolded angrily and glared at Manager Liu. “If you dare to say another word, I’ll get my grandfather to pull out your tongue.”

He used to give others money, but only because he was willing to do so.

Moreover, how could those people compare to these people?

As long as he wasn’t facing Sister Huan, he was quite imposing.

Shen Yijia was stunned by his change. She thought that he was a cute and soft beautiful young man.

Manager Liu was shocked. He knelt down with a pale face. He did not dare to speak and could only kowtow on the ground.

Liu Jinbao snorted and turned around. “Let’s go in.”

Of course he had to enter.

Shen Yijia did not miss the way Manager Liu looked at them just now.

Liu Jinbao got someone to place a board at the door. Shen Yijia did not even look at Manager Liu and drove the carriage in.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard. Liu Jinbao invited her into the reception pavilion and called for a maidservant to serve tea and snacks.

He said embarrassedly, “I’ll bring my grandfather out to see you.”

Shen Yijia picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Yijia wanted to say that there was no need. She could just ask.

However, Liu Jinbao had already disappeared.

Shen Yijia could only give up. Unexpectedly, after they sat for a while, a person walked in.

When that person saw them, she instantly frowned.
