These two children were really clever. He really liked to deal with them. There wasn’t much scheming, but neither side suffered losses and was satisfied.
As soon as Jiang Yue and the others left Lakshmi Restaurant, they heard Xue Wufu shouting loudly.
“Erfu!”
Jiang Yue and the others looked over and saw Xue Wufu and Xue Sifu holding a carrying pole. The carrying pole was wrapped with a rope and they came out from a corner and walked quickly towards them.
It was obvious that he had been waiting for them for a while.
Like a monkey, Xue Wufu jumped to Xue Erfu’s side happily.
“Did you manage to sell them all?” Xue Erfu smiled.
Xue Wufu nodded his head vigorously, “Everything was sold off. Xue Yan was right, the government is really strict with food. Even the candy shop itself is short of sugar. When they saw our sugar, they didn’t say anything and immediately took it all away.”
Li Qingshu and Xue Wen were both scared after hearing this, and they both said, “Sifu is so bold. If it were us, even if we knew how to make sugar, we wouldn’t even dare to make that much in fear of getting into trouble.”
They were timid people. They didn’t dare to provoke anyone who was involved with the government for fear of getting into trouble.
“Sifu is really bold.” Xue Wufu chuckled. “Right, how’s the oil? Was Manager Qiao willing to help?”
Li Qingshu and Xue Wen couldn’t help but be overjoyed. “He was willing to help! It’s really all thanks to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.”
“That’s right!” Xue Wufu immediately raised his chin, his face red. “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are so smart!”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just looked at their brother who suddenly became smug.
Wufu was just like that.
Right then, Sifu happened to walk over, so they all called out, “Over here.”
Xue Sifu smiled and patted their heads, then greeted Li Qingshu and Xue Wen. After exchanging a few words, he spoke to Xue Erfu at a volume that only Xue Erfu could hear, “Erfu, you can go back with Xue Wen and Li Qingshu first. I’ll bring the kids to buy some good food. Our family has earned money today. We didn’t have a choice in the past, but now we get to have a better life.”
“That’s for sure,” Xue Erfu didn’t even think about it and agreed. “Give me the carrying pole. I’ll bring it back for you. You can take a good look around the town and see what’s good.”
Xue Sifu took the carrying pole from Xue Wufu’s back and gave it to Xue Erfu, along with his own.
They were siblings, so there was no need to be so polite.
After a few more formalities, Xue Erfu left with Li Qingshu and Xue Wen.
Without Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, the three of them were reluctant to spend money on the ox cart, so they walked back. He didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. Li Qingshu and Xue Wen had brought back the dry food that they had prepared for lunch.
Seeing that Xue Erfu and the others had gone far away, Xue Wufu jumped up and said, “Hey, let’s take Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to buy fried chicken legs. Didn’t you say that freshly fried chicken is the best? We have to let Xue Yan and Jiang Yue try it no matter what. You said that the last one was cold, and I wasn’t there that day. I didn’t even get a whiff of it.”
“Alright, alright, alright. We’ll go over it now.” Xue Sifu responded with a smile while beckoning Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to walk in another direction.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed him obediently. However, they knew very well in their hearts that the others would not even bear to sit on an ox cart that cost a single coin, but he was extremely willing to buy them big chicken legs to eat.
What an odd bunch.
