"You little fool, we are trying to reason with grandma, please give in."
The middle-aged man didn't take Nan Wanning seriously at all. He stepped forward with a look of disdain, pushed him aside, and then sighed helplessly.
"Ye Hong, it's not that I want to meddle in your business. Most people in the city know that my mother and you are cousins. Although we didn't help you, you can't come to the city to embarrass us. In addition, we have no obligation to help you. When your Ye family was so glorious, you never helped us."
Ye Hong looked confused, "Old Xu..."
"Don't call me Lao Xu, just call me by my name. After all, I am a junior. How can you shout like those little brats?"
"Xu Hao, you also said that we are relatives, no matter how you say it, there is a bit of family affection. Just for the sake of this little affection, you just let us do it. If you are afraid that I will lose your face, I will I can pretend that I don’t know you. Anyway, I’ve been living in the countryside for decades and no one knows about it..."
Xu Hao looked irritated, "Is it any use if you pretend not to know each other? I, Xu Hao, am not dead. Our Xu family is also well-known in Jiangcheng. Who doesn't know that we are relatives? Now you are setting up a stall here. , Those who don’t know think that our Xu family is doing something wrong with you!”
Mrs. Xu next to her also said: "Grandma Ye, just listen to my husband's advice. If it doesn't work, we will give you some charity and send you a carriage to take you back later. Anyway, you have been staying in the country for decades." , Now that you are so old, what’s the harm in staying a few more years?”
After a pause, she added: "Although I don't know how you have lived in the past few decades, if you are really in difficulty, go find your other relatives. In short, you can't do this anymore in the future, even if you have to Why don’t you go to a county seat farther away to set up your stall? This Jiangcheng is our Xu family’s territory after all, you’ve really disgraced us..."
"Is Jiangcheng your territory? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Yizhou, who had been standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and walked over without saying a word.
Seeing a stranger coming forward, Xu Hao looked him up and down, "Who are you?"
Just as Yizhou was about to speak, Liu Shengsheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm just a guest staying at grandma's house temporarily."
Hearing this, Xu Hao had a hint of disdain in his eyes.
On the contrary, Mrs. Xu next to him whispered: "I think that man looks familiar. Have we met somewhere?"
Xu Hao glared at her, "That dead old woman was so kind-hearted that she took in a bunch of homeless and idle street prodigals. How could we ever see such a person? Even if we did, it would be when they were begging. , we happened to take a look at it, why should we take it to heart?"
Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed by what he said and could only nod uncomfortably.
He then heard Xu Hao say: "Since so many people are here, it's the best. You all know where Grandma Ye lives. Take her back before dark, and don't come here again."
Yizhou was so angry that he was about to curse, but Liu Shengsheng said first, "Didn't you say you want to help us? You haven't even given us any help yet, so why do you want to send us away?"
Yizhou was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Liu Shengsheng meant, but he did not refute, but stood beside her with his hands on his hips, "Yes, didn't you say you would support us?"
Xu Hao sighed in disgust and took out a banknote from his arms, "Here are ten taels. Take the banknote and get out of here. From now on..."
"Tsk, I'm not saying that your family has a big business, so why do you spend so little money? You just want to buy out someone else's business in Jiangcheng with just ten taels, isn't it too stingy?"
Liu Shengsheng interrupted him with disgust and said, "If it's embarrassing for grandma to sell potatoes here, then it would be even more embarrassing for you to take ten taels and try to humiliate others, right?"
Xu Hao sneered, but inadvertently put the banknote back into his arms.
"No wonder you have to rely on being taken in by others at such a young age. It turns out they are two scoundrels. Little girl, do you know who our Xu family is?"
Liu Shengsheng shook her head, "I certainly haven't heard of it."
"Ah,
We are the richest in Jiangcheng! Even the city lord of Jiangcheng has to give me some bad treatment when he sees me. If he doesn't listen to me, do you know what the consequences will be? "
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows, "The consequences? Could it be that you want to kill people and silence them?"
The corners of Xu Hao's lips twitched, "Little girl, we can't do anything to kill people and silence them, but I do have a lot of ways to deal with people like you. If you are obedient, I will never do anything to you, but ..."
"Xu Hao, it's okay! Don't embarrass these young people. Is it okay if I don't come here in the future?"
Ye Hong interrupted him with a serious look on his face.
Hearing her say this, Xu Hao's expression softened a little, "That's right, this makes him look a bit like an elder."
Yizhou glanced at Ye Hong, "Grandma, what are you doing? They are clearly bullying you!"
Ye Hong shook her head, "Let's go, let's go..."
As she spoke, she squatted on the ground and picked up the scattered potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Nan Bangning also squatted on the ground obediently and picked up the scattered things one by one into the bag.
Xu Hao looked at the two people condescendingly, "Don't blame me. I'm not just doing this for my own reputation, but also for your own good. Think about it, although the weather is getting warmer now, it's always difficult to go from the countryside to the city. You need to set out before dawn, wading through mountains and rivers to get to the city, but no one has bought anything yet. How pitiful is this?"
"I'll give you ten taels, which you won't be able to earn for several years. As long as you live frugally, it won't be a problem if you use it for three to five years."
Xu Hao spoke word by word, and Mrs. Xu next to her also covered her nose and said disgustedly: "Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that we have such a little bit of family ties, who do you think would pay attention to you? I just heard you Your stomach keeps rumbling, so you must be hungry. Let’s do this. We’ll treat you to another delicious meal. After eating, you must promise us that you will never come to Jiangcheng to embarrass us if nothing happens in the future.”
"Funny, are we missing a meal from you?"
Yizhou was so angry that he was about to take action, but Ye Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, we'll go back as soon as we're done eating..."
"Grandma..."
Yizhou looked at her in disbelief.
But she said with an embarrassed look on her face: "I'm hungry, little brother, my dear grandson and I haven't eaten for a whole day..."
Listening to her feeble voice, Yizhou felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nan Banning picked up the sweet potatoes and potatoes and stood beside them obediently, his eyes full of confusion.
Seeing this, Xu Hao laughed proudly.
"Why are you so insistent on your dignity when you can't even fill your stomach? Wouldn't it be better to let go earlier? If you had promised me earlier, we would all be sitting down to have a big meal now."
Mrs. Xu also said: "You are old and it is not good to be hungry. Grandma Ye, you can have a good meal with my husband. I will take my men back to the house first and come over to accompany you later." .”
After saying that, she looked at Xu Hao and said: "Since we are going to eat out, let's go to Liufang Pavilion. With our status, it is really not good to sit in an ordinary pub. I also want to invite the Young City Lord over for a few drinks." "
"Okay, you take the people back first, and I'll take a few of them over for dinner first."
After Xu Hao finished speaking, he walked towards Ye Hong, "Let's go and take you to have a good meal. The food in Liufang Pavilion is first-class. I guarantee it will be something you have never eaten before. Wait until you are full and full. You must never come back again."
