Chapter 100 - 094 Counterattack
As soon as he heard that Tian Chusheng was taking over, Tian Manmu had no objections. He had a good relationship with Tian Chusheng; they had learned accounting together under Tian Shuimiao and were like brothers. Moreover, Tian Chusheng was an honest man, unlike Gao Yuzhu who always had tricks up his sleeve, complicating the accounts and making Tian Manmu spend a lot of time and effort to review them.
Originally, Tian Manmu had to inspect the accounts of each village under the commune every year. Gao Yuzhu was not a good-hearted man and always tried to tamper with the accounts to cause trouble for Tian Manmu. Luckily, Tian Manmu was capable and managed to uncover the issues each time, preventing himself from suffering losses in the dark.
"Do we still need to keep an eye on Gao Yuzhu?" Tian Xinhua asked.
"Of course, we keep an eye on him. You kids don’t have much else to do anyway, so focus on this for the time being. If you do well, your uncle will reward you," Tian Mantong generously promised. Ever since he was young, he had been at odds with Gao Yuzhu. The two were like mortal enemies.
Hearing the promise of a reward, the children were all delighted, each of them rubbing their hands in eager anticipation.
Poor Gao Yuzhu was still dreaming of bringing down the Tian Family, but little did he know that the Tian Family had inferred his schemes from just a few small clues left by his daughter, also bringing significant trouble to the Gao Family. Sadly, there was no such thing as early warning medicine in the world; if there were, Gao Yuzhu would surely have been keen to buy and take it.
The snake soup was stewed to delicious perfection, drawing endless praises from everyone. Tian Sisi wanted to take credit, vividly recounting the morning’s snake-catching escapade, which caused Granny Zhao to chant Buddhist prayers nonstop and hug her, asking:
"Were you scared, Ah Nan? Didn’t I tell you to go to the mountains less? When have you ever gone to the mountains without causing some incident?"
