Chapter 172 Encountering the God of Wealth...
Liu Biao glanced at Feng Jiashu with disdain. "Who wants to ride in your car? I was already in the same car as Qiaoyun."
Tian Tian moved closer to He Qiaoyun, raised her head, and said, "Then I want to sit with Aunt He too."
Liu Biao clicked his tongue. "Little brat, what are you doing getting involved?"
Tian Tian was so frightened that she lowered her head.
Feng Jiashu glanced at Liu Biao indifferently, then waved to Tian Tian, comforting her, "Uncle Liu was just joking with you."
Tian Tian walked to Feng Jiashu's side and nodded hesitantly, "Oh."
The four people held differing opinions, and for a time the atmosphere remained deadlocked.
He Qiaoyun simply said, "Liu Biao, you ride in Feng Jiashu's car, I'll drive myself."
Liu Biao remained unwilling, saying, "I won't ride in his car, I want to ride in yours."
He Qiaoyun smiled helplessly and pushed him, "What's wrong with you? What's so great about my old car? It's so cramped and shaky, and all I hear is noise."
Liu Biao shrugged. "I don't mind. I like it when it's crowded and shaky."
Seeing how clingy Liu Biao was to He Qiaoyun, Feng Jiashu's suspicions were further confirmed: the reason Liu Biao hadn't married for so many years lay with He Qiaoyun...
He Qiaoyun was too lazy to argue with him anymore. "It's settled then."
After saying that, she opened the trunk of the van, intending to load two large baskets of longan into the vehicle. Upon seeing this, the two men immediately came to help.
The two of them were strong and easily carried the longan onto the car.
Then, Liu Biao naturally got into the passenger seat.
Feng Jiashu reached out and grabbed him.
Liu Biao paused, turned around, and saw Feng Jiashu's face, which was full of displeasure. "What are you doing?"
Feng Jiashu smiled and said, "Qiaoyun said you'll ride in my car."
Liu Biao shook him off. "Let go."
He Qiaoyun glanced at the two struggling men through the car window, then immediately started the car and slowly drove out of the orchard, leaving behind the words, "I'm leaving first. Meet me at the market in town around eleven o'clock."
After saying that, she stepped on the gas, and the car disappeared into the gaps between the trees.
Tian Tian looked at Feng Jiashu and then at Liu Biao, her eyes filled with confusion. "Aunt He has abandoned us."
As long as Liu Biao doesn't get into He Qiaoyun's car or bother her, Feng Jiashu's goal will be achieved. He released Liu Biao and smiled, "Mr. Liu, please."
Liu Biao was extremely displeased and snorted coldly, "You scoundrel."
Feng Jiashu smiled as he led Tian Tian out of the orchard, and thoughtfully closed the large iron gate before opening the back door of the car.
Tian Tian got into the back seat with his arm.
Liu Biao originally wanted to sit in the back seat, but he didn't want to sit with the young girl, so he could only sit in the front passenger seat.
Once everyone was present, Feng Jiashu started the car and slowly drove away.
This car was indeed more spacious than He Qiaoyun's minivan, but Liu Biao didn't even glance at it. He said sarcastically, "How can an office worker like you afford a car like this? You didn't embezzle public funds, did you? I can tell at a glance that you're the kind of treacherous and cunning person."
Feng Jiashu remained calm and composed, saying, "Our company offers pretty good benefits."
Liu Biao scoffed dismissively, "Keep pretending, keep pretending with me."
Feng Jiashu didn't respond and focused on driving. Liu Biao, seeing that he was ignoring him, didn't bother to talk to him either and started playing on his phone. Tian Tian, in the back seat, rolled down the window and looked at the scenery outside, enjoying the breeze.
About half an hour later, the three arrived in town.
They found an open space, parked the car, and the three of them got out at the same time.
The town's market was bustling with activity, filled with people from various villages selling their wares. Some sold mountain produce, fruits and vegetables, free-range chickens, ducks and eggs, as well as snacks and treats.
Tian Tian is a child, and everything is new and interesting to her. She looks around with her eyes wide open, so the two grown men have to slow down and accompany her to walk and see what's going on.
Although Liu Biao disliked Feng Jiashu, he wouldn't make trouble for a child.
Along the way, Tian Tian bought two chicks, two ducks, and two rabbits.
Feng Jiashu didn't want to buy it for her, but she had her own pocket money, and without waiting for him to persuade her, she took out the money from her bag and handed it to the old woman who sold chickens and ducks.
Seeing Feng Jiashu's disgusted expression, Liu Biao smiled with satisfaction and added fuel to the fire by saying, "There are people selling puppies over there."
Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, "Where? Where?"
Liu Biao pointed in a direction, "Look, it's over there."
Tian Tian looked around and saw an old man selling dogs. She immediately handed the chicks, ducklings, and rabbits she was carrying to Feng Jiashu, saying, "Uncle, can you hold these for me?"
There aren't many rules at the market here. The small animals are all put in plastic nets. When Feng Jiashu took the net, a lump of clear feces fell to the ground, followed by a stench.
Fortunately, he held it a little further away, otherwise the pile of feces would probably have landed on his shoes.
Liu Biao stood to the side, his smile gradually widening. "You look so disgusted. If you're disgusted, then don't come. We country folk are all like this."
After saying that, he walked over to the old man selling puppies. "Tian Tian, Uncle Liu will pick out a puppy for you. I guarantee he'll pick the best-behaved one for you."
Feng Jiashu looked at the direction they were choosing dogs, his expression helpless and at a loss, while the small animals he was carrying remained far away.
Suddenly, a kind old woman selling vegetables nearby picked up half a cardboard box from the pile of trash behind her and handed it to him, saying, "Put it in the cardboard box."
Feng Jiashu hesitated before taking the cardboard box.
Something is better than nothing; at least you can use cardboard to cover your poop.
He placed the three net bags into the cardboard box, and only then did his outstretched hand relax. Holding the box in one hand, he took out his wallet with the other, pulled out a few red bills, and handed them to the old woman, saying, "Thank you."
The old woman was stunned. "Are you buying groceries? I don't have change for such a large bill..."
Feng Jiashu said, "I won't buy vegetables, I'll buy this cardboard box from you, thank you."
The old woman was stunned again, and quickly refused, "No, no, it's just a cardboard box, and besides..." I picked it up from the garbage dump.
Feng Jiashu wouldn't listen to the refusal. He bent down slightly and placed the money in front of the stall, saying, "This is your payment, please take it."
Then, he didn't linger, turned around, and headed in the direction where the puppies were being sold.
The old woman stared at the few bright red bills, momentarily stunned, muttering, "Is this really for me?"
Several stall owners nearby stared at the few bills, their eyes redder than the money itself, and said sourly, "Just take them if they're given to you."
The old woman's surprise slowly turned into a smile. She picked up the money, put it in her pocket, and exclaimed, "Oh my, I've met the God of Wealth..."
The other end.
Tian Tian happily played with the puppy, while the old man chuckled and said, "These are all dogs born at home, and they're all a month old. Feel free to choose. They're all very easy to raise. Just feed them some leftovers. They can guard the house and protect the yard, they don't bite, and they're loyal to their owners. These are dogs carefully selected by our ancestors."
Liu Biao picked up a fluffy white puppy with a pink nose. The puppy had its legs tucked in and looked very well-behaved.
Tian Tian pointed to Liu Biao's fluffy puppy and said, "Grandpa, I want this."
The old man smiled and held up five fingers, saying, "This is white pine, five hundred."
