After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 288 Before Leaving

After Yingying left, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were the only ones left in the room. They looked at the mask that fell on the table, and the gentleness on their faces disappeared, turning into coldness and sharpness.

Xia Mo gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Brother Chuan, why are there so many cruel people in this world? Old Lady Liu is one, Lin Wenbin is one, and Prince Qiao is one too..."

Yingying always gave him the feeling of being sunny and energetic, like a big boy without any worries or depression, but this appearance was broken today.

If you hadn’t heard it with your own ears, who would have believed that behind this brilliant smile there was such a suffocating past?

Ling Chuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Not all parents love their children. You can't choose how you live, but you can choose how you live. There's no need to restrict yourself for this."

Xia Mo was speechless, pursed his lips, and what he wanted to say finally turned into a helpless sigh.

Ling Chuan looked at him deeply, his thoughts drifting to Prince Qiao's Mansion again, and he recalled that when he first came to the capital, Qiao Wenjin was always appearing in front of him.

He didn't think it was a big deal in the past. Even when Lao Yang and the others started to make a fuss that Qiao Wenjin was interested in him, he still didn't think it was a big deal.

But now that he thought about it carefully, Qiao Wenjin's attitude of caring about him but being distant, and not clarifying the rumors spread by others, wasn't it that she wanted to win his "heart" first?

Thinking of this possibility, Ling Chuan's face instantly turned dark. No wonder he explained so seriously that this was just a fabrication, but others didn't believe him at all and even congratulated him on his upcoming good news...

Xia Mo sighed for a while and was about to ask Ling Chuan what he thought about the affairs of Prince Qiao's Mansion, but he saw that his face was gloomy, the vertical wrinkles between his eyebrows were enough to kill a fly, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes.

"?" Was he so sick of what happened in Prince Qiao's mansion that he wanted to vomit? Xia Mo thought silently.

But before he could ask him what was wrong, Yingying came back with something.

Xia Mo turned his head and saw that the mole between his eyebrows had been covered up again, and the place was smooth, as if the red spot between his eyebrows he had just seen was just an illusion.

Meeting Xia Mo's gaze, Yingying curled her lips slightly, walked to his side and handed him two small porcelain bottles, "The red one is the plaster, and the green one is the juice. Remember not to consume it. Don't look for me if you get poisoned."

Xia Mo was successfully amused by his words. He took it and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child who wants to taste everything I see... By the way, do you want to go with us to see Manager Hong later?"

"Go to Manager Hong? Okay." Yingying agreed after just one second of thinking.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well go and get to know them and tell them about the chicken farm and the reclamation of the hilltop orchard.

"Let's go." Ling Chuan raised his dark and angry eyes and looked at the two of them.

It would be best if Yingying could follow. That way, even if they discussed the matter with Shopkeeper Hong, they wouldn't have to run around to deliver messages to each one.

The other two had no objection, so after Yingying put on the mask, the three of them walked straight towards Manager Hong's shop.

On the way, before Yingying started talking about Shilipu, Xia Mo asked him about the progress of Shilipu.

"It's okay. It's not difficult to reclaim the wasteland at the bottom, but it will probably take a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim the top of the mountain. Half of our brothers have gone to escort with the escort agency, so we don't have enough manpower for the time being, so the progress has to be postponed." Yingying said.

Xia Mo nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Reclaiming the hilltop is indeed a troublesome job. If we don't have enough manpower by then, we can hire people from Shilipu as laborers. The wages will be paid on a daily basis, and those who are lazy and want to fish in troubled waters will not be hired."

Yingying's almond-shaped eyes curved, "I thought so too. When I get back, I'll inquire about the market and see how to arrange it."

"Well, you can do whatever you want..."

Then, Xia Mo told Yingying that they had not had time to draw the design drawings of the chick hatchery, so this one would have to be shelved as well.

Yingying didn't care much about what she heard, and then the two of them chatted about what kind of fruit trees to plant and so on, chattering all the way. Throughout the whole process, Lingchuan only occasionally interjected a word or two, and basically acted as a silent listener.

The two brothers also knew him and didn't think there was anything wrong.

When they arrived at Manager Hong's grocery store, they found that the store had changed a lot.

It turned out that Manager Hong had bought the shop next door and opened a door on the middle wall.

Manager Hong was very happy to see Xia Mo and Ling Chuan, and treated Yingying even more warmly after learning that she would be the store manager.

After a brief introduction and greetings, Shopkeeper Hong went straight to the point and said that the reason he approached them was indeed to purchase a large amount of maltose, but the buyer was not him, but a boss he knew.

The boss was from another county. Because the place where he had purchased goods previously raised the price again, the two sides were deadlocked and refused to compromise. In the end, the situation was very unpleasant and he could no longer do business.

When he was at a loss, he unexpectedly learned that Manager Hong had a good source of goods, so he came to him and asked him for help in making a recommendation.

After hearing what Boss Hong said, Xia Mo and the other two looked at each other and did not agree immediately.

Seeing their hesitation, Shopkeeper Hong thought it was a problem of price and quickly expressed his opinion.

"Mr. Liu, the price is negotiable. I am only responsible for the matchmaking. If you are interested, you can talk to Mr. Mu first. He is a decent person and is trustworthy."

Xia Mo smiled when he heard this and shook his head slightly: "Manager Hong, this is not the reason why I hesitated, but because Brother Chuan and I have to go out for a while, so we can't take this business."

"Well...are you going to be out for a long time?" asked Manager Hong.

"I haven't been home recently." Ling Chuan said.

"Oh, I see." This is a bit difficult, Shopkeeper Hong frowned.

Seeing him like this, Xia Mo took the opportunity to say, "Shopkeeper Hong, if Boss Mu is really out of stock, you can consider my friends. You know, they contributed more than us to the candies you purchased before."

"I can't really say for sure."

To be honest, he felt that Mr. Liu was the backbone. If he and his wife were not there, he would not dare to make any promises to his friends.

Seeing that he had some concerns, Xia Mo said, "Manager Hong, you don't need to feel embarrassed. This is just a small suggestion from me. Besides, even if Boss Mu agrees, my friend's side is uncertain. Business matters involve both parties. It depends on them themselves."

"That's right." Shopkeeper Hong nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this? I'll go ask him what he thinks. If he's interested, I'll tell you guys. Then I'll trouble you to help him make some connections."

"No need to bother, but we will be leaving tomorrow. Once you have finished your discussion, go find Yingying directly. He lives in the store, not far from here."

"Okay, okay. I'll tell Shopkeeper Ying as soon as I get any news." Shopkeeper Hong turned to look at Yingying.

He did not dare to look down on the shopkeeper who wore a mask and always had a smile in his eyes, as they would have many more interactions in the future.

"No problem, Manager Hong, feel free to contact me if you have any news." Yingying met his gaze calmly and smiled.

Therefore, all follow-up matters concerning Boss Mu's business were handed over to Yingying.

After leaving the grocery store, Xia Mo told Yingying that if this deal was successful, his work would not be in vain and he should receive the money directly, which was fair.

Seeing that he was serious, Yingying was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable accepting the money, so she smiled. He was not stupid, so he would certainly not work for free.
