Chapter 933 - 931 Don’t Get the Wrong Idea
"Third Brother, are you pulling my leg? The lady I’m helping looks so refined, and she’s even the Scholar’s Lady. Could she really do something like smashing someone’s shop?" Xiao Wu looked incredulous.
"I’m not lying to you! Otherwise, why would the Tian Family’s shop get smashed, with claims that their powder contains lead? With such a big commotion, the Tian Family still hasn’t pressed for an apology or compensation. Either they’re guilty or the person who smashed the shop is someone they can’t afford to offend. Today, I saw the Tian Family still thick-skinned, trying to sneak onto the viewing stand where the household you’re helping is watching the Dragon Boat Race."
"It’s just a pity, that Scholar’s Lady has a sharp tongue; with just a few words, she put Shopkeeper Tian in a difficult spot. He slapped his wife and left in disgrace. You should’ve seen it. If it weren’t for the people around, Shopkeeper Tian would’ve probably beaten his wife black and blue—" At this point, Laosan laughed heartily, his eyes dancing with amusement.
Seeing Xiao Wu still standing there, seemingly not understanding, he patted his shoulder: "You’re really lucky! Your sharp eyes landed you a job with such a household. I bet they won’t mistreat you! Even if you didn’t get to see the Noble Patron down there, standing outside and basking in the Fortune of the Capital city’s patrons was worth it!"
"If it were me, I’d brag about it for a lifetime!" Laosan smacked his lips in regret after finishing a plate of white sugar cakes. Seeing no benefits to gain from Xiao Wu, he swaggered off.
The race was about to start soon, so it was time to find a spot.
It took Xiao Wu a long time to recover, and he let out a deep breath, heading towards the viewing stand.
Because someone from the Tian Family came by earlier, Old Lady Li’s husband was guarding the door. Seeing Xiao Wu return, he asked, "Did you deliver everything?"
Xiao Wu put on a big smile: "I delivered everything. The Noble Patron was very pleased!"
Old Lady Li’s husband scratched his head: "You should go up and let the Scholar’s Lady know. Maybe she has something else to ask you!"
