Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Big Trouble (4)

This is the bustling entrance of a tavern where it’s not good to talk too much. Cui Qingrou was concerned about her nephew, and Mo Qingze had his own matters to attend to. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went their separate ways.

At this moment, nobody knew that this chance encounter was the beginning of their fates intertwining.

...

Liu Yang Village Mo’s Family.

"Mmm, this is delicious, your family’s food is so good!"

Seventh Master Cui, the chief culprit who had thrown the entire Cui family into chaos, sat at the big round table at Mo’s Family, wolfing down the food with great relish.

Having run away from the Cui family for several hours, Cui Pingan had barely eaten anything. Before the Mo’s Family had even finished cooking, he was already drooling at the kitchen door.

Mo Yan saw that he ate fast but not unsightly, his movements were elegant and did not show a hint of rudeness. She knew this must be the result of good manners and had an initial guess about his identity.

This guy was obviously a runaway. His family must be frantic searching for him, and the commotion shouldn’t be small. She planned to release the birds first thing in the morning; they should be able to find him.

Cui Pingan consumed three full bowls of rice and a variety of dishes in one go. When he saw the remaining food while rubbing his belly with a face full of longing, Mo Yan said indifferently, "No more eating."

It was not good to eat too much at night; plus, this guy wasn’t in good health. Eating more would certainly lead to indigestion and she would be the one with the trouble.

Had it been any other time, Cui Pingan would have acted out a young master’s temper. But having been severely disciplined by Mo Yan on the road and after learning of Mo Yan’s other identity upon arriving at Mo’s Family, he no longer harbored any thoughts of resistance.

Even though he felt he could eat another bowl, under Mo Yan’s light gaze, Seventh Master Cui painfully put down his chopsticks, eagerly watching the others eat.

Being stared at with such unwavering eyes, even the hungriest would lose their appetite. Disgusted, Mo Yan put down her chopsticks and to Mao Tuan squatting by her side, waiting to be fed, she said, "Take him out for a walk to digest his food. Come back after an hour. If he’s lazy and doesn’t want to walk, you can do whatever you want with him."

Mao Tuan hadn’t had enough to eat either, and recently it had been forced to go on a diet. If it went out now, it would be even harder to fill its stomach. So it shook its round big head, indicating refusal.

While a human-shaped toy was nice, having a full belly was more important.

Mo Yan sighed regretfully seeing this, "I was going to roast a suckling pig as a late-night snack for you if you did this job well. But since you’re not willing, let’s forget it."

Roast suckling pig?

Mao Tuan’s body shuddered, its tongue licking around as it drooled at the sight of the horrified Cui Pingan. Not waiting for Mo Yan to say anything more, it briskly stood up, went over to Cui Pingan, grabbed the hem of his clothes with its mouth, and dragged him outside.

"No, I won’t go. This young master isn’t going!" Cui Pingan shouted loudly, struggling fiercely and gripping the table, refusing to leave.

This big tiger was fearsome, and now it hadn’t been fed enough. What if it decided to eat him during their walk? How would he return to Yuan City then?

However, for the sake of the delectable roasted suckling pig, Mao Tuan was not willing to waste words with him. As soon as it exerted strength in its mouth, Cui Pingan’s grip on the table was lost, and he was effortlessly dragged out of Mo’s Family dining hall against his will, his calls for help reminiscent of a pig being led to slaughter.

With one fool less at the table, Mo Yan indeed felt the air become fresher and her appetite improve.

However, she felt a headache remembering that the fool refused to reveal his name and identity, feigned pitifulness to elicit sympathy from his family, and insisted on staying. She regretted being soft-hearted in the afternoon and bringing home such an annoying person.

Seeing her sister’s frustrated expression, Xin Er covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, "Sister, that brother seemed quite nice, and he even agreed to work for our family in exchange for food and lodging instead of silver coin. Don’t bully him."

"Where did you see me bullying him?" Mo Yan glared at her sister. "With his weakling appearance, is he able to carry water or chop wood? I had Mao Tuan take him out to hope that he’d strengthen his body a bit. I don’t want him collapsing in our home before we find his family. That would leave us full of troubles and unable to explain ourselves."

The fool had just followed the carriage for a short distance before he was panting and nearly passed out on the road. It was only after taking his pulse that she realized this person was congenitally deficient, over-nourished later in life, and lacked exercise.

Not knowing how long this guy would stick around, she didn’t want to waste the precious medicines from the Space. Of course, she would make him get more exercise to improve his physical fitness, so he wouldn’t just faint at the drop of a hat like Lin Sister. For board and lodging fees, she was counting on him to work and repay his debt.

However, she had never treated such a weakness before; it would be good practice to use him for that purpose. After all, it’s not as if she would kill him.

Outside in the courtyard, Seventh Master Cui, who was being forced by Mao Tuan to walk and digest, suddenly shivered and involuntarily hunched his shoulders. Turning to look at the fierce tiger behind him, he put on a mournful face and, with heavy legs, continued to walk around the courtyard...
