265 Meatball Tells a Story
After Little Ah Yu returned home, she did not play a game of watching ants with Wang Liulang. Instead, she ran to her room and quickly brought out a few bamboo jars.
The bamboo jar was filled with malt candy. Little Ah Yu brought the candy to Old Madam Wang.
Old Madam Wang saw the jars of malt candy. They were golden and transparent, and they smelled faintly sweet. When she ate them, they were very sweet but not greasy.
It was an excellent malt candy. It could be seen that the creator was very meticulous. This would not exist in Nanhe Town.
“Your Guardian God gave this to you?” Old Madam Wang only tasted a little before putting the jar away.
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. The elf bought it for me. There’s still a lot!”
Little Ah Yu made a hugging gesture with her hand, indicating that there was really a lot.
When Liu Shi saw the malt candy, her eyebrows twitched. “This looks different from the ones sold on the street. It’s more beautiful.”
Although the malt sugar on the street was also yellow and red, it looked more turbid and did not taste that sweet.
After taking a bite, Liu Shi muttered, “Aiya, this is so sweet and not greasy. I’m afraid even the nobles living in the palace have never eaten such delicious malt candy!”
Old Madam Wang said, “That’s right.”
Liu Shi felt a little strange. “Mother, do you know what the nobles in the palace eat?”
“They’re definitely eating gold and silver. It’s different from what we commoners eat.” Old Madam Wang’s expression was especially natural. “In any case, it’s impossible to eat this street snack. No matter how good the malt candy is, it’ll only be malt candy. It won’t catch the eyes of the nobles.”
As soon as she heard Old Madam Wang’s words, Liu Shi sighed with emotion in her heart. Ever since she came to town, she had heard stories from time to time. In any case, according to the storyteller, the nobles in the palace did eat gold and silver to survive. There were groups of servants and heaps of luxurious clothes.
In any case, it was an extravagance that ordinary people could not even imagine.
Seeing that Old Madam Wang and Liu Shi liked malt candy, Little Ah Yu took out the large bucket of it from her spatial pocket.
“Grandma, Mother, there’s still a lot!” Moreover, the elf had said that this was so cheap.
In truth, the benefits were only targeted. After all, half a point had been spent here.
However, half a point could only be obtained with the absolute goodwill of five people. From the conversion here, the value of this malt candy was really immeasurable.
Old Madam Wang and Liu Shi were already used to Little Ah Yu’s terrifying movements from time to time. The two of them quickly packed up and hid the jar.
After hiding it, Old Madam Wang took out another stack of things. Liu Shi did not recognize the words written on the stack, but she recognized the seal of the government.
Liu Shi: “Mother, why did you take out the deed?”
“Of course it’s to find a clean and safe place to put it.” After saying that, Old Madam Wang handed the things to Little Ah Yu. “Ah Yu, can you help Grandma keep these things?”
Since there was a hidden space, it was much safer to leave the important things to Ah Yu than to leave them at home.
“Mother, it’s not appropriate to hand this to Ah Yu, right?”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. In any case, it’s basically hers.”
Old Madam Wang did not hand everything to Ah Yu, lest anything happened and she could not get them back.
If it was stolen by a thief outside, it was at least possible to find it again. If it was in Ah Yu’s space, if it disappeared, there would really be no place to find it.
The deed she had given Ah Yu was written under Wang Chuanman’s name. In the future, it would belong to Ah Yu.
As for the Wang Family’s house and shop in Nanhe Town, she would talk about it later.
In any case, the family had already saved up a lot of money. In the future, it would be more than enough to buy a house and a shop for each child. There was no hurry to distribute them at this time.
Little Ah Yu could not think too much. When Grandma gave it to her, she placed it seriously in her space.
She even said to Meatball, “Elf, this is something Grandma gave me. Please help me take care of it.”
Meatball: “...” It was just a pile of paper. Was there a need to take care it specially?
In the afternoon, Liu Shi brought Wang Chuanman to the street to buy two bolts of cloth and asked Madam Ma to help cut the style. Then, Madam Wang used her own embroidery skills, which she was not very proficient in, to help Wang Chuanman make a few sets of clothes.
Previously, he had helped the villagers sell their excess crops. Wang Chuanman had also familiarized himself with Shopkeeper Zhou. After that, Wang Chuangman brought Shopkeeper Zhuo’s goods to transport and trade around a few times and helped him earn a small fortune.
This also caused Shopkeeper Zhou to praise Wang Chuanman endlessly. When he learned that Wang Chuanman and his wife were very close, he often sent Wang Chuanman to Nanhe Town to do things to ease the pain of the couple’s yearning.
In two days, Wang Chuanman will be leaving again. Liu Shi endured the reluctance in her heart and hurriedly helped him prepare the things for his trip.
Unlike Liu Shi’s urgency, Little Ah Yu’s eyes were filled with envy when she learned that Wang Chuanman was about to set off again.
“Father, when I grow up, I want to follow you too. It’s really interesting to go to many places every day,” Little Ah Yu said, especially seriously.
Wang Chuanman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then you have to work hard. In the future, you can go wherever you want. At that time, the family will definitely earn enough money, and you don’t have to worry about money.”
As he spoke, Wang Chuanman believed his own words.
At this rate, their Wang Family might really be able to become a new landlord family in two to three years.
Now, the Wang Family did not continue to expand. Even the excess land in the village was not bought.
The more they managed, the more mistakes they would make. Before they grew stronger, it was better to maintain the current situation.
In any case, Wang Chuanman was working very hard to expand his connections with Shopkeeper Zhou.
Those connections might be very useful to the Wang Family in the future.
Little Ah Yu could not think so deeply. She only happily shared her feelings with her family, especially after wearing a new dress and headdress. She could not hide her joy.
After dinner, everyone washed up and lay on the bed. Little Ah Yu threw her consciousness into the spatial pocket and ran to look for Meatball.
“Elf, elf, tell me a story. I fell asleep before I finished listening to that story last night. I’ll try my best not to fall asleep today!”
[Alright, then I’ll tell you faster because I still have to tell you a new story today.]
Little Ah Yu simply found a flower bush and squatted in it. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers beside her, she held her face and looked at Meatball.
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen!”
...
[Yesterday, we talked about a young man who found Baby Yu. The young man asked Baby Yu if he knew someone called Murong Ruan.]
Little Ah Yu was puzzled. “Who’s Murong Ruan?”
A new character appeared in the story. Little Ah Yu felt that her memory was about to run out of space again.
[It’s someone who lives abroad and is not from Great Chang Nation. This person has a long story. She originally lived in the West Peak Country...]
Little Ah Yu usually did not interrupt others unless she could not help but say, “Elf, this story is too long. Can you tell me something simple?”
