Chapter 56 Daring to Act and Taking Responsibility, Never Going Back on One's Word

The chubby boy was stunned for a moment, "Did I make a profit?"

He looked at his skinny donkey; the donkey was inedible, but the eggs were.

His mother and grandmother both said that he was the most important person in the family, so it was right for them to trade a donkey for eggs so that he could eat them.

Hmm, it seems like he made a profit!

The chubby boy nodded seriously.

"Alright, you can take the donkey away, the eggs are mine."

Ning Bao was overjoyed and handed the egg in her hand to the chubby boy.

"Alright, since you agree, the egg is yours, and the donkey is mine."

This was your own choice; you can't go back on your word or deny it after eating the eggs.

Ningbao successfully traded an egg for a donkey. She secretly summoned Lingling and had it lead the donkey to hide at the foot of the mountain behind the camp.

She and Mu Cheng'an then swaggered back to the camp using the talisman.

Before going back, she made an excuse to go to the outhouse, and quickly used teleportation to return to the place where she had put the water jug ​​and put everything she had brought back from the mountains back in the same spot.

Then, satisfied, he followed Mu Cheng'an back.

When they returned, Mu Chunping had not yet come back. Ning Bao calculated that the danger at the camp had been eliminated for the day.

After a busy day, Ningbao was already yawning and feeling sleepy. She kept remembering what her father had said: that she needed to sleep well to grow tall.

Now that the donkey had been replaced and the crisis at the camp had been resolved, she felt very at ease and snuggled into Shen Yuzhen's bed to sleep soundly with her mother in her arms.

On the opposite camp, everyone was terrified by the refugee incident, and no one dared to sleep despite it being very late.

The master of the house felt it was unsafe there, so he ordered his belongings to be packed and they prepared to travel overnight.

The steward noticed that one of the donkeys was missing and was anxiously heading to find it when the chubby boy, who was just about to get on the cart, heard everyone looking for the donkey and immediately called out.

"No need to look, I traded the donkey for eggs."

The chubby boy's grandmother looked at him in shock.

"Bao'er, did you trade the donkey for eggs?"

The chubby boy nodded.

"Yes, it's the egg I just ate."

"My grandson is amazing!"

The old lady and the lady were very happy to hear that the little fat boy knew how to get the donkey eggs, and praised him for being clever.

The steward was very worried, as there were few servants and a lot of luggage at home, and that donkey was their main animal for pulling carts.

If there were no donkeys, who would pull all this luggage?

The butler grew angrier the more he thought about it; he felt that the people in the opposite camp had tricked their young master.

So he ran straight to the camp on the other side.

"Summon your village chief; I have some questions for him."

Lin Hai glanced at him indifferently.

"Our village chief is busy."

"I don't care if he's busy or not. Your people cheated us out of a donkey. You'd better give the donkey back right now, or I'll never forgive you."

The village chief, still smelling of blood after dealing with the refugees, came over when he heard the commotion.

"Oh, the housekeeper next door is still alive?"

What's all this noise about so late at night?

"You don't need to rest, but our fellow villagers do! Hurry up and get to the point!"

Although the butler disliked the village chief's attitude, he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming. He looked directly at the village chief and said...

"Our young master said that a chubby little girl just stole our donkey. You need to return the donkey quickly, as we are about to set off and need it to pull the cart."

Little chubby girl?

The village chief's first thought was Ning Bao.

But Ningbao is just a little girl, how could she possibly steal the other person's donkey? She's not even as tall as the donkey!

Just as the village chief was about to retort, Mu Cheng'an walked over.

"Butler, do you have any evidence that we stole your donkey?"

Or perhaps we didn't steal at all, but rather exchanged goods openly, fairly, and justly?

The butler paused for a moment upon hearing Mu Cheng'an's question, clearly feeling much more guilty.

"Where did this brat come from? He thinks he can trade an egg for one of our donkeys? That's too good to be true."

"Ha!" Mu Cheng'an sneered.

"Whether it's worth it or not isn't up to you or me to decide, but rather if the person making the exchange thinks it's worth it. How about this, call that chubby kid out and ask him if he did it voluntarily..."

Just then, Mu Cheng'an saw the chubby boy across from them looking in their direction and immediately called out,

"Hey chubby, come here for a second."
