310 Sneaky
The man took out half of the wooden tablet and gave it to Jiang Yue. He hung the other half back.
The man handed it to Jiang Yue and said with a smile as if he was coaxing a child, “Remember to come back in two months to pay. Otherwise, I’ll have to take your sign. Don’t forget.”
“Alright, thank you.” Jiang Yue thanked him again and walked out of the line. She walked to Xue Yan and handed the plate to him.
Xue Yan subconsciously took it and looked at the black characters on the wooden token. The black characters were only half of the specific position, so obviously the other half was on the other half of the wooden token. The two tokens were put together to be complete. There was also a pattern specific to the official on the wooden token, which would be difficult to fake.
“Let’s go back,” Xue Yan said after putting away the sign.
“Yeah,” Jiang Yue replied.
Before they reached the fork where they usually asked people to eat rice noodles, they saw a sneaky person hiding in a corner not far from the fork.
The man was hiding in a corner, leaning against the wall. He stuck his head out and stretched his neck, looking at the stall with all his might.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
Jiang Yue glanced at the figure in the corner who was looking at them with his back to them and said, “Looking at his back, he looks like your uncle.”
“It should be,” Xue Yan also thought it was his uncle Liu Guisheng.
“What do you think he’s trying to do?”
“Something suspicious I would say. It’s fine, let’s go over,” he said after a pause.
Jiang Yue thought so too.
Even if it was nothing good, they would be able to handle it. There was no need to be afraid.
Then, she and Xue Yan walked over as if they didn’t see Liu Guisheng.
Liu Guisheng, on the other hand, had a guilty conscience. When he saw them walking over, he was shocked, but then he felt that they probably didn’t see him. He was greatly relieved and continued to sneak around, peeking at the stall where Xue’s Rice Noodles were.
Previously, he didn’t expect his sister’s family to suddenly become rich. At that time, he even said that his sister, Liu Guixia, would regret not coming back. Now, in addition to buying land and fields, his sister’s family also bought pigs and cattle. Now, not only were they building a workshop, but they also had a business in town. He heard that business was doing well. All of this was money. Who knew how rich his sister’s family was? Anyway, he came here today to take a look at his sister’s family business. If it was really that good, they would definitely make more money in the future.
In fact, he regretted it the day he heard that his sister’s family had bought cows. He regretted that he had not endured it and had fallen out with her that day. However, he thought that his sister’s family was not the only one with cows in the surrounding villages, so he let it go.
Now, however, he realized that his sister’s family was rich enough to even open a store! How could he not care?
Even his mother had asked him to come and take a look.
It was almost noon. He should know if his sister’s business was as good as he had heard.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t care about Liu Guisheng, but when they returned to their stall, they saw that Sifu had already prepared everything. They were just waiting for noon to start their business.
Xue Yan had just returned, and he didn’t know if his Sifu knew that their uncle was watching them from a corner not far away, but he still whispered to him, “Sifu, someone we know is there.”
Xue Sifu didn’t even look as he took out a clean bamboo chopstick and placed it on the table. He also whispered, “I found out when I was eating. Alright, you guys don’t need to care about him. In front of us, he won’t be able to get anything good.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
