Chapter 103 She would naturally protect her own friends.

"It's me, Wu Shan." Although Wu Shan was a pig butcher, he was tall and thin, and quite good-looking.

“Wu Shan is Wu Youcai’s father. He’s a petty person, so be careful not to let him hold a grudge!” Fatty Dong said, frowning as he thought of Wu Shan.

Little Su Bao was eating braised pork knuckle when she suddenly looked up at the pork knuckle in her bowl, then at Fatty Dong.

"Is this pork delivered by them?" the little child asked.

Fatty Dong nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Most of the pork here comes from their family; there's very little other pork."

Wu Shan was originally a pork vendor, but later married the daughter of a wealthy merchant. In recent years, the two of them have essentially monopolized the pork market in An County.

If you don't want to buy their pork, you can go elsewhere, but the transportation costs, plus other expenses, make it not worthwhile.

After hearing Dong Pangzi's explanation, Qian heard another knock on the door.

"Miss Fu, please give us a chance!" Wu Shan's voice came, filled with deep pleading.

People who didn't know him might feel sorry for him, but Fatty Dong and Fatty Girl both frowned.

The chubby girl liked Little Su Bao, so her expression became even more serious.

She glanced at Fu Manduo and said, "Although your father is the county magistrate, the pork shop remains, but the county magistrates come and go. Although they are afraid of the county magistrate, they are not without options!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Dong's lips twitched. Sure enough, this girl was a busybody.

Although Fatty Dong thought this to himself, he still whispered to the others, "They can control the pork, and if you anger them, you'll be in big trouble!"

Fu Manduo, being from a large family, immediately understood what Dong Pangzi meant upon hearing this.

Little Su Bao pursed her lips, looking a little nervous.

She glanced at Tang Si, and sure enough, her fourth brother's expression wasn't very good either.

Tang Si stood up: "This whole thing started because of me, I..."

“But it’s no use for you to go. I’m the one who had Wu Youcai arrested. What good will it do for you to go?” Fu Manduo wasn’t very afraid. Apart from her maternal grandmother, there were really few people she was afraid of in An County.

Fuman finished his fish gracefully before getting up.

She sat in the middle, her gaze lingering on the main entrance.

"Come in!" she said, already prepared to face everything alone.

She was used to being scolded by her father and lectured by her grandmother.

She used to want to be good to her half-brothers and half-sisters, but they used her as a shield, which she didn't like.

As for being with Xiao Su Bao and the others, it's something I chose to do.

She would naturally protect her own friends...

Just as she finished speaking, two more people suddenly appeared beside her.

To be precise, it was everyone in the Tang family who stood next to her.

"Sister Fu, I'll go with you!" Xiao Su Bao held Fu Man Duo's hand, her face filled with determination.

For some reason, when the little girl saw Fuman sitting alone, she felt a little sore.

I feel a little bit unwell!

Sister Fu's hands were soft and warm, though they were slightly curled up.

But now it's open.

Little Su Bao looked up at Fu Manduo, who smiled without a care in the world.

Xiao Mo Bao was silent for a moment, then stood behind Xiao Su Bao without saying a word.

“Me too!” Tang Dabao stood on the other side. He didn’t grab Fu Manduo’s hand, but his young face showed a hint of determination.

The Qian family simply watched, and seeing that both children had made their choices, they naturally had no reason to back down.

Tang Si clenched his fists, his face showing determination.

Tang Xin laughed heartlessly, "Sister Fu, Sister Su Bao, and me!"

“But we can’t do without me!” Bai Yinjun added, a strange light in his eyes.

Su Daya clenched her fists, but hid to the side and watched. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stood next to Bai Yinjun.

The fat man and the fat girl exchanged a glance, their feelings inexplicable.

"Hehe, Miss Fu, if they stop giving our family pork in the future, please beg the county magistrate to help us!" The chubby girl laughed and scratched her head.

"Me too!" Fatty Dong laughed, but still chose Fu Manduo and the others.

Everyone just watched the doorway in silence.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Wu Shan and his wife were about to enter when they were startled by the gazes of the crowd.

"Wu Shan greets Miss Fu. Please be lenient and forgive my son this time. He spoke recklessly. Please don't hold it against him!" Wu Shan bowed, appearing very humble.

Fu Manduo looked at Wu Shan but didn't speak immediately.

We still need to make a show of it.

Wu Shan's wife was very fat, and her face was covered with pimples, making her features look disjointed. She liked to wear bright red clothes, and at this moment she was kneeling on the ground.

"Please, young lady, spare my son! Youcai is my only son. Please, be magnanimous and don't hold a grudge against a child!"

"Tang Si, right? We were all wrong before. Please, Miss, spare our lives!" Wu Shan's wife cried, looking quite pathetic...

Fu Manduo almost threw up while watching it.

Tang Dabao took out a candied fruit from his bag and gave it to her, and Fu Manduo felt a little better.

“But he’s going to sell me to a brothel. Do you know what that is?” Fumanduo said casually, though he was in a very good mood.

"Moreover, I only asked the head constable to take him to the yamen. If he didn't do anything wrong, he naturally wouldn't be locked up..." Fu Manduo said calmly.

Wu Shan's expression changed slightly. If his son was alright, he wouldn't have needed to come here.

but……

Thinking of something, Wu Shan raised his head, looked at Fu Manduo, and glanced at the Tang family members as well.

"Gentlemen, could you please give me a break this time and let this matter go? Consider it a favor I owe you!" Wu Shan looked at Tang Qi.

He knew about his son's dealings with Tang Si, and he had met Tang Si a few times. Tang Si was just a poor farmer, and he never expected that these people would know someone from the Fu family.

Fulin is someone who won't listen to reason, and there's nothing I can do about him.

The only way is to start with the Tang family!

He stared at Xiao Su Bao, recalling what his son had said earlier, and said, "If the Tang family is willing to reconcile, I can offer two hundred taels of silver as an apology!"

Two hundred taels of silver is quite a lot!

Especially in impoverished and remote places like Tangjia Village, this amount of silver would be enough for them to live on for a long time.

Holding Xiao Su Bao, Qian saw the hatred and scheming in Wu Shan's eyes.

She sighed. Sure enough, they were also resented!

"From now on, anyone from Tangjia Village who comes to buy pork will get a 20% discount!"
