Chapter 638: Chapter 465 Liu Zheng: Sister-in-law, are you mistaken? I am not my boss.

"Here, have some tea."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Zheng held the tea brought by Mother Niu Ma, surveying the scene in the living room.

The layout and furnishings were similar to a real living room, but the furniture had some different details.

For example, the handles on the cabinets were made quite large, presumably to accommodate Niu Ma’s physique and limbs.

"That box is Oil Can Pineapple, those few boxes are Dream Cucumbers, and finally, these last few boxes are Angel Fruit."

He introduced the fruits he brought to Mother Niu Ma and their effects.

"That’s too valuable."

Mother Niu Ma was taken aback.

She knew the price of Oil Can Pineapple and Dream Cucumber, and although Liu Zheng hadn’t mentioned the price of Angel Fruit, she easily inferred its grade from its effects.

"Just some small things, can’t truly express my sentiments."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Mr. Liu."

Mother Niu Ma hesitated to speak.

"Sister-in-law, calling me that is too formal, just call me Xiao Liu."

He quickly replied.

"Alright. Xiao Liu, I can’t accept these fruits."

Mother Niu Ma said.

"Why, Sister-in-law?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"There’s a story among humans, I’m not sure if you’ve heard it."

"Please go ahead, sister-in-law."

He sat upright.

"Once, there was a general who took soldiers to war. The battle was tough, and many soldiers were injured."

"When the general was inspecting the camp, he found that a soldier’s wound was festering, so he personally helped suck out the pus from the wound, and the soldier recovered."

"This incident was reported back to the soldier’s hometown; the villagers were very touched, but his mother was heartbroken and cried endlessly."

"The villagers were puzzled and asked her why."

"The mother said, you see the general healing my son, but I see that my son is bound to die on the battlefield."

Mother Niu Ma said heavily.

"Sister-in-law, maybe there’s a misunderstanding? This story is correct, but Niu Ma is the general, I’m just that little soldier."

Liu Zheng scratched his head.

"No, I know Niu Ma; it’s good at managing but can’t lead. It doesn’t have the mind or the heart for it."

"I could tell the moment you came in, even though it’s your boss now, eventually it will follow you."

"What type of person you are, I can’t tell yet, but you’re definitely a doer, someone who does big things."

"Niu Ma has told me about the things you’ve done for it, and now you’re so kind to me, it’s got all that in mind."

"For me, it has held back once, but if it happens again, it surely won’t be able to hold back."

Mother Niu Ma said slowly.

"Is sister-in-law talking about Brother Black Claw and Brother Yellow Monkey?"

He asked.

"That’s right. Niu Ma has such a good brother like you; I’m quite relieved. But your intentions are too heavy, I’m very scared."

Mother Niu Ma said frankly.

"Dare I ask what work you do, sister-in-law?"

Liu Zheng asked with respect.

"I now work at a nearby training center, teaching Chinese, writing, and history."

Mother Niu Ma replied.

"No wonder sometimes Niu Ma seems quite cultured; turns out you taught it well, sister-in-law."

He realized.

"You can’t say that exactly, it’s quite smart, just doesn’t like studying."

Mother Niu Ma defended her husband’s dignity.

"But I have to say, sister-in-law, you’re overthinking it."

Liu Zheng said.

"Do you mean to say you won’t do dangerous big things?"

"No, what I mean is, even if you don’t accept these fruits, Niu Ma won’t retreat when it’s time to fight hard."

He shook his head.

"Hmm..."

Mother Niu Ma was momentarily speechless.

"Seeing how you speak, sister-in-law, you don’t seem like someone mixing with the Metropolis crowd. I guess you hope your husband is a hero, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hero; in these times, even bad guys struggle, let alone heroes."

Mother Niu Ma gave a slight sardonic laugh.

"Since being a bad guy is tough, might as well be a hero. Leave future matters for the future; after all, one might just die, but eating and drinking well is essential now. Moreover, sister-in-law, if not for yourself, you should think of the child, right?"

"Niu Ma works hard to make money, just to save up for household license tax. Let me speak frankly, if the child turns out to be an ’abnormal’ newborn, it would be better off dead."

He advised earnestly.

"Niu Ma always says you have great charm, any female who sees you can’t resist. But I don’t quite see it."

Mother Niu Ma said with narrow eyes.

If not for seeing him as her husband’s good brother, she would have already kicked him.

"Haha, talking with family doesn’t require such formality."

Liu Zheng laughed loudly.

Besides, even if he wanted to be a Succubus, Niu Ma wouldn’t be willing.

"But crude talk still makes sense; I’ll accept the stuff. Anyway, just hope you all stay safe."

Mother Niu Ma sighed again.

"Thanks for the good words, sister-in-law."

"You still need to deliver takeout, right? I won’t hold you for dinner. One day when your big brother returns home, I’ll have him bring some food to you."

Mother Niu Ma said.

"Alright. Sister-in-law, have you encountered any troubles lately?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Living is always troublesome. It’s okay, I can solve it myself; you just take care of yourselves."

Mother Niu Ma shook her head.

"No worries, I came on this trip to solve your problems, just tell me. I may not be good at other things, but I have some experience with killing."
