" Thats right," Su Bai felt awkward, he did not want to take the ox cart with how much drama that has taken place in their family but he had no choice, it was already noon and if he did not set off now then he wouldn't be able to reach the town on time. Who knows what that daughter of his would do once she finds out that he did not go to the town at the promised time?
Maybe she will beat him until he would not able to recognize his mother anymore! That girl, she carried a whip-like she was carrying a fancy fan in her hand! Just what kind of demon did he give birth to? She even dared to beat her father!
" All the seats on the ox cart are reserved but I will let you sit next to me," as the ox cart driver spoke he shifted his weight to the side only leaving a small space for two people to hang on to with a lot of difficulties.
Su Bai's expression changed he knew that he would not be able to get out of this situation but at the same time he could not help but get slightly annoyed, when he was rich people like these would come to curry favour with him and now that he was no longer rich, they were showing off their true colours in front of him, they were truly too much!
But no matter what Su Bai thought in his head, he did not say anything outright and thanked the ox cart driver for his help. He knew that since he was riding the ox cart for free this could be considered the best choice!
Su Yu Cheng was even more upset than his father, he was a future scholar and wanted to say something severe to the ox cart driver but he was pinched by his father who asked him not to say anything before he pursed his lips and then sat right next to the ox cart driver.
Fortunately, they did not have to do much and simply hang on the front and behind the cart, the path that led to the town was filled with holes but they somehow managed to get past every second hurdle that came in front of them and arrived at the town.
" I cannot even feel my bottom," Su Yu Cheng complained as he hopped off the cart and then glared at the ox cart driver, there was obviously a lot of space on the ox cart but the ox cart driver lied to them!
" Don't make trouble, we are riding for free there is no need for you to fight with him, lest he makes trouble you will have to hand over the money we owe him, who will pay him? You?" Su Bai did not want to get into a fight with his son but the latter kept acting so foolishly that he did not have any other choice.
Su Yu Cheng was stumped but he could not say anything either, he simply followed his father who was in charge of taking him to where Lin Ze was, thankfully they did not have to walk for long and arrived at the spot where they were supposed to meet Lin Ze.
" Oh you are here," Lin Ze has been waiting for them for a long time, it was not that he did not think of making them wait and telling them who was the boss here but he was so excited to have more money that he did not even think of going back home. He stayed in the town and walked around here and there until the sun started to set down and they all were ready to take action.
Su Bai looked at the man who was acting as if he was his boss and pursed his lips in annoyance, he might not be rich now but in the past, he was at least richer than Lin Ze and now the situation was like this where he has to listen to this man! How humiliating!
" What do you want me to do?" Just as Su Bai wanted to tell Lin Ze to not act as if he was superior to him, he saw the man who was following him throughout the entire journey glance at him sharply. Su Bai shivered he knew that there was no other choice left for him other than to follow Lin Ze which was why he immediately changed his words and asked him what he needed to do.
23:47
Lin Ze was quite happy that Su Bai was willing to listen to him, he turned to the house where Old man Tai lived and pointed at the old building. " A man lives there, he has taken a lot of money from me…I need you to beat him up and lock him down such that I can take my money and everything else that I need, as long as you hold him down nicely, I will pay you a silver tael."
As he spoke he looked at the Su father and son like he was some big boss causing the two of them to purse their lips in annoyance. Sure enough, the job that they had to do was not right, how annoying!
Beat up a man in the middle of the night? They might as well be treated like thieves!
But there was no way for them to pull out of this plan which was why they had to wait for Lin Ze to give them the signal in the late hour of the night, only then did they rush inside the house of the carpenter who lived in the discreet corner of the street. It was a good thing that Old man Tai was a petty miser and did not appoint a guard even when he was rich enough to do so.
However, neither Lin Ze nor Su Bai and Su Yu Cheng knew how to be stealthy like thieves, they got inside the house with ease but as soon as they hopped inside Lin Ze bumped into a vase and sent it on the floor causing Tai Zheng to wake up.
