"Well... I'm really not sure about the numbers. The housekeeper is responsible for these things. But if you really need it, Brother Xu, it doesn't matter. I'll go rummaging around in the housekeeper's room later. I want these things According to the statistics, there will definitely be something left on her side. Actually..." His voice faltered, Liu Mu looked at Old Xu, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued: "Actually, Brother Xu doesn't need to be so troublesome. You have done so much for us. Kill those bastards and avenge our blood. If you want anything, just take it from the manor. I believe no one will complain."
"There is a special room for storing supplies in the manor. I know this. I can take you there right now!" Liu Mu couldn't wait to give away the things at home.
As for where the manor's materials are stored, Lao Xu has a clear mind.
You must know that he, Huo Yuankai and Wei Dazhuang had cleaned all the rooms in the entire manor one by one before. He didn't know much about the interior layout, let alone the place used to store supplies.
Unless there is some secret passage mechanism here that Lao Xu doesn't know about or notices.
However, if there really is any secret tunnel in this house, Lao Xu believes that the young man would not have the opportunity to contact it given his status in the manor.
So Lao Xu doesn't need young people to lead the way for him.
The reason why I asked for a list was just to put the request for supplies in a more tactful way.
Facts have also proved that Liu Mu's understanding is not bad. After listening to Lao Xu's words, he understood Lao Xu's meaning, and it was not in vain for Lao Xu to go around in circles like this.
Otherwise, what Lao Xu said would be meaningless when encountering stupid people.
"Yeah," Nodding, Lao Xu first confirmed Liu Mu's statement.
He was going to get the supplies anyway, so there was no point in being secretive about it.
However, you should still have the proper attitude when taking things and giving them away.
Considering that he still wanted to maintain contact with the manor in the future, Lao Xu immediately continued: "Now that we have talked about this matter, I won't hide it from you, brother Liu. I will definitely bring some supplies. I have no choice but to come out to look for them this time. The consumption along the way is too great, and the risk of relying solely on supplies along the way is too great. I have seen the scale of your plantation, and the supply of materials should be good. So..."
"Brother Xu, I won't say it anymore. You have helped us so much this time. Without you, we people don't know how long we will have to live in water and fire. So really, don't be polite to us. You can see anything here. Just take it if you can use it."
No matter whether the young man's words were sincere or acting, he could say it so boldly, at least he was "aware of current affairs" in dealing with things.
Otherwise, given the current situation they are in, if Liu Mu refuses to let Leng Tou Qing refuse... then Lao Xu will have to reconsider whether to let Leng Tou Qing take the position of the owner of the village.
In any case, Liu Mu's attitude was superficial.
In this case, Lao Xu borrowed the pot and continued: "No! Liu Mu, I have to talk about you on this point!!"
His face darkened, and Lao Xu's voice suddenly became deeper.
Liu Muchang looked at Old Xu confused, obviously not sure what he had done wrong: "What's wrong, Brother Xu, did I say something wrong?"
"Let me ask you, what is your current status?"
"I..." It seemed that the title of village owner was not suitable for him. Liu Mu was speechless for a few seconds before he blurted out in embarrassment: "I am the owner of the manor."
"Well, you also know that you are the owner of the manor. But what you just said...do you think it is what a manor owner should say?"
"I, this..." Liu Mu was confused by Lao Xu's questioning.
No wonder the young man was confused. You must know that what he said for a long time was all for Lao Xu's sake.
But now Lao Xu actually questioned him about this matter. The result really made Liu Mu inexplicably distressed.
"As a manor owner, how can you say that I can take whatever supplies here I want? I know you have good intentions and want to repay us for what we have done to the manor. On this point, I, Old Xu, heartily appreciate your brother Liu. But Liu Mu, you are wrong to do this. In the past, you were an individual, and there was no problem with anything. But now, in your position, you have to plan your own affairs. Now that you have sat in the position of the owner of the village, you have to carefully consider everything. Let's make a decision. Every decision you make will be related to the development of the manor and the life and death of the people below. You said you just gave me the materials so generously, but I really took them away, how are you going to live?"
"I……"
"Do you think that with your current situation, you are capable of going out to collect supplies?"
Speechless, Liu Mu was speechless.
I have to say that Lao Xu is really an old Jiang Hu. He is clearly pretending to be confused.
On the surface, Old Xu was telling Liu Mu the principles of life, and what Old Xu said was really reasonable.
At least it doesn't sound wrong to normal people. As the head of a village, you, Liu Mu, just ask people to take supplies from the estate. On this point alone, you are not a qualified person.
But although what Old Xu said was good, its real purpose was obviously not just to educate Liu Mu.
He did all this so that he could have a high-sounding reason for taking supplies.
Lao Xu wanted to give Liu Mu the impression that I am not taking your supplies as a taker, but because I have no choice and need them for the journey.
This is where Lao Xu hopes to differentiate his team from the skinheads.
In this way, after Liu Mu is firmly in power in the future, he can reassure the other party by coming over to discuss cooperation.
You see, I helped you when you were weak, but I haven't annexed you yet.
When you become stronger, will you be extremely grateful to those who helped you during the most difficult times?
To put it bluntly, this is an investment for Lao Xu, and it is a business that is more profitable than Bao Bao.
He didn't have the energy to take back the manor, so it would be better to leave it to the manor people to take care of it themselves.
If the manor is doomed in the future, Lao Xu will have no losses.
On the other hand, if he really survives the disaster and grows up, then Lao Xu will have an extra ally on his side.
It is rare for Lao Xu to work so hard in such a business that only makes money but does not lose money.
You must know that aside from ordinary times, Lao Xu would never do such duplicitous things.
It is a pity that Liu Mu is still young and has little knowledge. In addition, he respects and trusts Lao Xu, so he does not have any suspicion of what Lao Xu said.
It's no wonder that if Liu Mu could guess what Old Xu was thinking based on the current situation alone, then his IQ would be too high.
And how could a person with such an IQ end up in the miserable situation of being humiliated and oppressed by everyone in the manor?
"I understand, Brother Xu, I thought poorly just now. I will pay attention to it in the future." Liu Mu replied humbly.
Xu Renjie is very satisfied with your young man's humbly accepting it.
This kind of character is also a valuable quality that a person in power must possess. The most difficult thing for a person is to accept the preaching of others. It is even more difficult to sit at a certain height.
Lao Xu hopes that young people can continue to maintain this attitude in the future, which will undoubtedly be a great help for him in managing the manor in the future. (To be continued.) m.
