Chapter 153: Stop interfering in other people’s business

Wen Zhenyi turned to look at County Magistrate Lei and said, "If you, the County Magistrate and the Town Mayor, have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't you come together? It will be more lively with more people."

"Okay, then we'll bother you."

Wen Zhenyi stretched out his hand towards County Magistrate Lei and said, "Today's breakfast is three coins and twenty cents."

County Magistrate Lei smiled and pulled out his purse from his pocket. He took out a tael of silver and placed it in her palm: "No need to change."

"Thank you for the reward, County Magistrate. The back door is over there, so I won't see you off. I'm going to open a shop and do business." After saying this, he bowed and turned around to leave.

Zhong Liyan looked at Feng Jiaoran: "She just left like that?"

"If you have any questions, we might as well ask them this afternoon."

Little Abu let go of Feng Jiaoran's hand and ran to hug Wen Zhenyi's legs: "Sister, will I never see you again in the future?" As he said this, tears flowed from his eyes.

Wen Zhenyi bent down, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his tears: "You are a boy, you can't cry easily. As the saying goes, men don't shed tears easily. You have to be strong."

"But I can't bear to leave you."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and rubbed his head: "The world is so big, maybe we will meet again one day, but I don't know if you will still remember me then."

Little Abu nodded vigorously: "I won't forget you either."

"Little Abu, are you leaving?" Hu Zi and several other children stood at the door leading to the backyard from the hall, each with a look of reluctance on their face.

Little Abu was also very sad: "Well, my parents and sister are here to pick me up."

Hu Zi and the others ran back to their room, took out their favorite toys and handed them to him: "This is for you. Come and play with us when you are free."

Little Abu was holding the toy in his hand, with tear marks on his face, but he remembered Wen Zhenyi's words and tried hard to smile: "Okay."

Wen Zhenyi rubbed Hu Zi and the others' heads and said, "He will come to dinner tonight. Say goodbye happily then. You will be even happier when you meet next time."

Several children looked up at her: "Will it?"

"Yes! Separation is for a better meeting."

"Okay, we'll definitely say goodbye properly."

Zhongli Zhuang looked at Wen Zhenyi, hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran out of the backyard. After a while, she ran back with something in her hand and walked up to her: "This is for you."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the softness that was suddenly stuffed into his arms and was stunned for a moment. He looked down and realized what she was giving him.

A little snow ferret with a completely snow-white body and a pair of bright eyes, seemed to have not yet realized why it was here.

"Give me?"

Zhongli Zhuang still said proudly: "I don't want to owe you a favor, so this is my way of repaying you for taking care of little Abu." Then she pulled little Abu away.

Wen Zhenyi stared at the little ferret in her arms in confusion. She could see that the ferret was only three months old.

Feng Jiaoran didn't expect that her daughter would give this ferret to Wen Zhenyi. You know, this little ferret was born by the ferret she raised, and it was born on the way here. There are only three of them, and she treasures them very much.

She didn't even give one to little Abu when he wanted one, but gave the most beautiful one to Wen Zhenyi instead.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the little guy in his arms, felt a little headache, and was about to return it.

Feng Jiaoran didn't wait for her to speak before saying, "Since Xiaozhuang gave it to you, just accept it. If you refuse, she'll get angry again." She then moved closer to Wen Zhenyi and whispered, "Don't underestimate this ferret. It's very human-like."

"I can't accept such a precious thing."

Feng Jiaoran took Zhong Liyan's arm, with a helpless expression: "Then you can only pay it back yourself."

Zhongli Yan looked at his wife with happiness on his face.

Wen Zhenyi could only hold the little ferret and go to find Zhongli Zhuang who was outside getting on the carriage: "Miss Zhongli."

Zhongli Zhuang stopped getting on the carriage and turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"

"I can't accept such an expensive gift."

"Miss Ben...there is no reason to take back something that has been given away. Just throw it away if you want to." He ignored her and got into the carriage.

Little Abu watched Zhongli Zhuang enter the carriage, reached out and tugged at Wen Zhenyi's skirt: "Sister, just keep it."

At this moment, the little ferret suddenly rubbed its head against her hand, showing great dependence on her, as if it knew that she would be its own master in the future.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the soft and adorable little guy in his arms and was reluctant to give it back: "Thank you, Miss Zhongli."

"Hmph!" Zhongli Zhuang snorted coldly in the carriage.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the group of people coming out from behind and watched them get on the carriage and leave. In the dark, she could sense that there were quite a few of them, and each of them had strong martial arts skills.

She returned to the store with the little ferret in her arms, carried it into the room, and put it on the bed: "Just stay here for a while, I'll get you some food when I'm done."

The little ferret found a corner on the bed, curled up into a ball, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the little guy and had to say that he was really smart.

She cleaned up the wrinkles on her body, made sure there was no hair on her body, washed her hands and prepared to open the door.

But before that, Wen Zhenyi briefly explained the origins of little Abu.

Ma Yinghe's eyes widened when she heard this: "You kid, you dare to go out and do something so dangerous."

Wen Chengwen also frowned: "You said, we're only going back for one night, how could we let you encounter this? What would you do if others found out?"

Aunt Ding and the others were also terrified when they heard this: "Yes, this is very dangerous."

Wen Zhenyi looked at Shen Hanxing for help.

Chen Hanxing raised the corners of his lips and gave her a look: Let’s see if you dare to do it next time?

Wen Zhenyi immediately gave in: I won’t dare anymore.

Chen Hanxing then spoke: "I think the Wen family's sister was just curious at the time, and she regretted it after she went out. But when she saw a child as young as little Abu, she couldn't bear it. If it were me, I might take the risk too."

When Wen Zhenyi heard him say this, he almost gave him a thumbs up.

When Ma Yinghe heard him say that, she calmed down. If she were in his place, she probably wouldn't leave such a young child alone.

Wen Chengwen looked at Wen Zhenyi and said seriously, "Don't meddle in other people's business in the future."

Wen Zhenyi muttered softly: "I didn't want to care about it. It's just a coincidence."

"What did you say?"

Wen Zhenyi immediately changed his words with a smile: "Dad, I said if you don't open the door, the guests will be waiting impatiently."

Ma Yinghe and the others put the matter behind them and specifically told Aunt Ding and the others that no one else should tell this matter, otherwise everyone might be in trouble.

Everyone knew the importance of the matter, so they all nodded and kept the matter to themselves.

Wen Zhenyi saw that everyone was busy, and then he moved closer to Shen Hanxing: "Brother Shen, you still have a way."
