Wang Zhenhua couldn't help but admire his son's intelligence. He then picked up Wei Mo and took his son out the door to find the male educated youth.

When Li Taiping saw that Wei Mo had really brought his mother over, his eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that his family would actually agree.

You have to understand, that's a precious grain, something so many people desperately want! And yet, some people actually want to exchange it for something else!

Food was already in short supply, and now, people don't even care about fine grains.

"I agree to what my son said, but let's not do the transaction in person, so as not to give anyone leverage against us, you understand?"

Li Taiping nodded at Wei Ma's words, agreeing that this was indeed the best approach, but he still asked with some doubt.

"So, Sister Wang, what do you plan to do?"

"When the time comes, I'll have my husband Wei Mo take you to fetch the grain. You just need to bring money with you each time."

Li Taiping frowned slightly, but thinking that this would eliminate the need for contact and reduce the danger for everyone, he nodded in agreement.

The cooperation was reached very smoothly. After finalizing the agreement, Wei Mo started thinking about how to ship the goods for the first time.

After confirming the matter, Wei Ma stopped interfering. Her words before leaving startled Li Taiping.

"From now on, let my son interact with you. Let's have less contact with each other, after all, he's just a child."

This statement may sound flawed, but it makes a lot of sense. For example, the Dragon King only interacts with his own son.

That's why Wei's mother said that. Another reason is that her son is protected by the Dragon King, so he is actually much safer than others.

But Li Taiping's eyes widened in disbelief. Such a big matter! And it was entrusted to a child to handle.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If it was just a child acting on behalf of someone, even if they were caught, they could deny it. Who would believe that a five or six-year-old child was involved in speculation? With this in mind, Li Taiping looked forward to the first transaction even more.

Although Wei's mother wanted to ask others for help, she realized that if she did, her son's secret would inevitably be discovered by others, so she decided to let her son complete the transaction himself.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Ma put on a stern face, pretending to be fierce, and said to Li Taiping in a somewhat threatening tone before leaving,

“My godfather is the old village chief. If you dare to break the rules, this village will definitely not let you stay.”

After Wei's mother finished speaking, her heart started racing. This was the first time she had ever said something so harsh.

Then he turned around and went back to where he was weaving fish baskets to continue chatting with everyone.

Although Li Taiping was threatened, he didn't care. After all, he didn't intend to take advantage of the child; he was just looking for some sources of goods.

Li Taiping was even a little happy. The old village chief he had just met was actually the other party's godfather! This also meant that if he needed to ask for leave, it would be much easier to ask the old village chief.

If they can provide enough supplies, I will cooperate with them properly.

Wei Mo, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes and pulled Li Taiping towards the outside of the courtyard. Wei Mo was extremely anxious at the moment. After all, this was the first transaction. Only after the first transaction was completed and the two parties had established trust could there be a next transaction.

Wei Mo planned to take Li Taiping directly to the Dragon King Temple to retrieve some grain for their first transaction.

Li Taiping was a little stunned by Wei Mo's pull, not understanding what the child was going to do again. Then, with a forceful pull, he dragged Wei Mo into his arms.

He picked up Wei Mo and said to the little kid.

"Little brother, where are we going?"

Wei Mo turned and glanced at Li Taiping, who was holding him, and said,

"Aren't we going to get food?"

He spoke in a very soft voice, and his eyes darted around, looking as if he were very experienced. This appearance amused Li Taiping.

But since this little brat said he was going to get some food, I figured I might as well go with him and see.

Tell me where to go, and I'll carry you there.

After Li Taiping finished asking the question, Wei Mo answered directly.

"Let's go to the dilapidated temple. Big brother, you know where the dilapidated temple is, right?"

Li Taiping nodded, puzzled. Did this family hide the grain there? Weren't they afraid of it getting stolen?

Having agreed to the deal, he said goodbye to Wei's mother and the others, saying he would take Wei Mo out to play for a while, and then carried Wei Mo outside.

Knowing that the two might be going to make a deal, Wei Ma didn't say much and continued chatting with the other educated youth. Li Xiuxiu seemed to want to go, but Wei Ma stopped her.

"Xiu, you don't need to keep an eye on him. Just let him go out and have fun with that Comrade Li. We'll talk to ourselves. They'll probably be back in a bit."

Wei Ma stopped Li Xiuxiu, so Li Xiuxiu had no choice but to sit down and continue chatting with the new educated youth and her good friends, but she was still a little worried.

Seeing that Wei Ma didn't care about her eldest grandson, the old man didn't say anything more, but went back to his rocking chair under his room and lay down.

Li Taiping carried Wei Mo all the way to the entrance of the dilapidated temple. The temple was overgrown with weeds and the buildings were severely damaged.

Wei Mo secretly took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour from his spatial storage and placed them in a corner. He had already erased the marks on the bags.

Then he led Li Taiping toward the spot where he had put the grain earlier. It was a corner overgrown with weeds, and the grain was in the haystack.

Li Taiping followed Wei Mo as he looked at the dilapidated house, until a bag of rice and a bag of flour appeared before him, and he was stunned.

This kid's family is really bold, hiding food here like that. Aren't they afraid it will get stolen?

Fortunately, not many people usually come here, otherwise it would have been robbed long ago.

Thinking of this, Li Taiping looked at the two bags of grain on the ground, which probably weighed over a hundred jin each, with each bag weighing about fifty jin.

The grain wasn't sold by the bag yet, so he didn't know that each bag weighed exactly 50 jin (25 catties). After thinking for a moment, he said to Wei Mo.

“Little brother, you stay here and guard the grain. I’ll go to the brigade headquarters to borrow a cart.”

After Wei Mo nodded in agreement, Li Taiping ran quickly toward the brigade headquarters, as if he were in a running race.

Wei Mo felt a little bored, so he wandered around in front of the dilapidated temple.

The dilapidated temple is because the statue of the Dragon King that was previously enshrined there has been smashed. This is still an era in which feudal superstition is not allowed.

Wei Mo thought that he must rebuild the temple for the Dragon King in the future, since he had been using the Dragon King's name to do things all along.

The location of the dilapidated temple can be described as quite good. It is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with the river to the south and the mountains to the west. On the other two sides, there is wasteland on one side and paddy fields on the other.

With a location like this, it could probably be considered a feng shui treasure land. Unfortunately, Wei Mo doesn't know feng shui, so he can only make wild guesses.

Wei Mo wandered around the dilapidated temple and found that there was nothing inside except weeds. Bored, he sat on the ground not far from the temple and began to check his trading shop.
