Chapter 35: Goal Achieved

He Zhiran didn't know that Peng Wang had such a high opinion of him, so he lowered his head and continued to grill the fish.

He Zhiran thought that the officials would cause trouble for this, and he was already prepared to deal with it.

There was a reason why she did this.

We have just set out from the capital and there is still a long way to go to reach the northwest.

If she flatters these officials from the beginning and makes them think that all this is natural, won't they ask for exorbitant prices in the future?

In addition, He Zhiran also wanted to test the bottom line of these officials, so that it would be easier to control them in the future.

Judging from the distribution of grilled fish just now, these officials are quite reasonable.

He Zhiran also had a preliminary understanding of them.

The second batch of crucian carp was grilled, still ten in total.

He Zhiran took the lead and handed two to Peng Wang and Mo Jiuye.

Although Mo Jiuye was injured and not suitable for eating fish.

However, in this special period, there is no other way. We can't let him drool while watching others eat.

What's more, Mo Jiuye's injuries are all under control of He Zhiran, so eating a fish will not be a big deal.

Peng Wang took a bite of the grilled fish and his eyes lit up instantly.

It can be said that this is the most delicious grilled fish he has ever eaten in his life.

"Mo Jiuye, I told you your wife is amazing, isn't she? She's so good at grilling fish. You're in for a treat."

"Mm, it tastes really good."

Mo Jiuye responded casually, his thoughts becoming even more complicated.

None of the things He Zhiran did were what a lady from a noble family should have.

However, it was these unique features of her that allowed the Mo family to avoid suffering since leaving the capital.

Mo Jiuye felt mixed emotions. It was all because of his uselessness that his family was exiled, and now a woman had to step forward to solve all the problems.

He Zhiran didn't know what Mo Jiuye was thinking. After he distributed the grilled fish, four officials still didn't get any.

Her attitude was quite good this time. After giving the things away, she naturally couldn't make others unhappy.

"My lords, I'll go bake the next batch right away. Everyone will have a share."

Seeing their brothers eating so happily, the remaining four officers felt angry.

However, seeing how busy He Zhiran was, never resting for a moment, after thinking about it, he suppressed his anger and waited patiently.

About ten minutes later, the four officers finally got the grilled fish with satisfaction.

The others had already finished their grilled fish, but looking at the four of them eating, he still couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The four of them suddenly felt a sense of superiority and ate the grilled fish slowly and leisurely, feeling very happy.

He Zhiran left one grilled fish for himself and gave the other three to his second sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, send these three fish to Uncle Xie and the others to try."

The second sister-in-law's face was full of disbelief.

"Ninth brother's sister, are you serious?"

He Zhiran smiled and replied, "Really? Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie are old and haven't had enough to eat these past two days. They need some grilled fish to replenish their bodies. And Lin'er is weak right now, so she needs some nourishment too."

My second sister-in-law was so excited that tears were about to come out.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and send it to them right away. Thank you, Ninth Sister-in-law."

Watching his second sister-in-law running away quickly, He Zhiran found a shady place to sit down and rest while eating grilled fish.

This action once again attracted countless angry glances.

After He Zhiran noticed those gazes, he did not choose to ignore them.

Instead, he went to meet them one by one.

She wanted to see how much these people hated the Mohist School.

The first to be hit was the He family, led by the two strong laborers pushing the cart. They all glared at He Zhiran.

His mouth was opening and closing constantly, and it was obvious that he was cursing.

Perhaps they were afraid of the officers and did not dare to raise their voices.

So much so that He Zhiran couldn't hear their voices at all from his position.

The Li family was no less powerful than the He family. All of them, young and old, regardless of gender, glared at He Zhiran.

Especially Li Rouer. If looks could kill, He Zhiran would have died countless times.

She raised the grilled fish higher in the direction of Li Rouer, then took another bite. This action could make anyone angry to death.

Although the Fang family members were also looking at He Zhiran, their eyes did not contain the infinite hatred like the He and Li families.

He Zhiran observed carefully and found that there seemed to be begging and unwillingness in their eyes.

There is no need to talk about the Xie family. He Zhiran saved Xie Lin's life before, and now he asked his second sister-in-law to send three grilled fish.

As a result, their hostility towards the Mohist school was further reduced.

It seems that the Fang family, like the Xie family, can slowly resolve their hatred.

Of course, it would be most appropriate for Mo Jiuye to personally handle this matter.

After all, only by confronting the parties involved can we get a clearer explanation.

He Zhiran now has an idea in mind and will find time to discuss it with Mo Jiuye later.

She had just finished eating the grilled fish when Peng Wang called her over.

"Ms. He, you're quite good at catching fish. While you're resting now, why don't you catch some more?"

He Zhiran raised his eyebrows with a half-smile: "Master Peng, haven't you eaten enough?"

When his thoughts were exposed, Peng Wang's face turned red.

"Uh... let's just leave it at that!"

In fact, even if Peng Wang didn't say it, He Zhiran also had such plans.

But she didn't want to miss any opportunity to ask for favors.

"Master Peng, I am just a little girl. If I hadn't wanted to have something to eat for my family, I wouldn't have gone barefoot into the river to catch fish in public.

Now that everyone has eaten the fish, please don't make things difficult for me."

Peng Wang was rejected and his face suddenly turned dark.

But thinking about the delicious grilled fish, he held back.

"You don't need to catch too many this time. Ten, just ten."

He Zhiran pretended to lower his head in thought, acting as if hesitant.

Peng Wang was anxious.

"Well, if you catch ten more fish, I'll agree to a deal within your means."

"Since Mr. Peng has said this, it would be hypocritical of me not to go. Fine, you wait."

He Zhiran achieved his goal, so he stopped talking and took off his shoes and socks again and went into the river.

There are a lot of fish in the river, and catching ten fish is like a piece of cake for He Zhiran.

Soon, she had thrown ten fish onto the shore.

The sisters-in-law were also very decisive. As soon as they got the fish, they squatted by the river to clean them and then strung them together with branches.

He Zhiran thought, since he had already gone down to the river, he might as well catch more fish at once and save them for a snack in the evening.

So, after catching ten fish, she didn't rush to go ashore, but continued to work there.

At this time, Fang Chuanzhou's wife, Zhao, came to Madam Mo.

She kept a very low profile.

"Madam Mo, we were wrong to insult the Duke yesterday. Please don't hold it against us."

Madam Mo looked at the other person, not knowing what she was up to.

"Madam Fang, Jiuye is no longer a Duke. You should just call him by his first name to avoid being used against him."
