The mother and daughter smiled at each other after they finished speaking.
Meng Yu and Shi Lei listened casually from the side and didn't take it seriously.
After feeding the chickens and ducks, and seeing how comfortable they were in the greenhouse, Sunny finally began to feel sleepy.
Boss Ye and Sister Ye took Qingtian back to take a nap, and Shi Lei and Meng Yu also closed the door and left the greenhouse.
As evening approached, Old Cen's roar caused the entire Cen Mansion to tremble.
“Who did this!”
Upon hearing the news, Meng Yu and Shi Lei hurried to the greenhouse in the backyard. When they entered the house, they saw that almost all the vegetables planted by Old Cen in the greenhouse had been destroyed by the chickens and ducklings.
All the leaves were pecked with holes, and some were trampled into the soil and shattered into pieces.
Seeing that Mr. Cen's face had turned ashen and he was breathing heavily, Shi Lei quickly stepped forward to help him calm down.
After Mr. Cen finally caught his breath, he pointed at the two of them and asked, "Tell me, who did this?"
"Ahem—" Meng Yu cleared his throat.
Cen had guessed it was him long ago, and picked up the scoop used to water the vegetables and was about to hit him.
Meng Yu quickly squatted down with his hands on his head, shouting, "These were all bought by Miss Qingtian!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cen stopped hitting the man.
Meng Yu quickly explained, "Really, Miss Qingtian is kind-hearted. She was worried that these chicks and ducklings would freeze to death, so I bought them all for her, saying that we have a greenhouse at home and can feed them.
"If you don't believe me, look at that chicken with the red dot on its forehead. It's Miss Sunny's favorite. She just held it in her arms and fed it herself!"
After hearing this, Mr. Cen looked up at Shi Lei with half belief and half doubt.
Although Shi Lei and Meng Yu are the people he trusts the most, they have long been like family members.
But compared to Meng Yu, who often likes to show off, it is obvious that Shi Lei, the honest man, is more credible.
Seeing this, Meng Yu immediately cried out in grievance: "Master, I have never lied to you. Don't you believe me?"
Shi Lei nodded to Mr. Cen, indicating that what Meng Yu said was true.
Elder Cen put down the water ladle in his hand, turned his head to look at the chicks and ducklings that he had just wanted to crush to death, nodded and said, "Qingtian is so kind-hearted at such a young age, it's really rare."
He turned to look at Meng Yu and said, "Since you were the one who bought these chickens and ducks and raised them in the greenhouse, they will be left to your care from now on.
“If you kill it, you can explain it to Qingtian yourself.
"If you dare to make Qingtian cry, I will deal with you together then!"
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it." Meng Yu said with a smile, "If one dies, I'll buy a new one to replace it. As long as the total number remains the same, Miss Qingtian won't be able to tell."
However, his method, which he thought was clever, made Mr. Cen and Shi Lei look at him as if he were a fool.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yu scratched the back of his head in confusion, "Is my idea a bad one?"
"Chickens and ducklings will grow up." Mr. Cen said in a cold tone.
"And they grow very fast..." Shi Lei looked at him sympathetically. Seeing that he still didn't understand, he had to explain, "The chicks and ducklings sold outside are all newly hatched. The new ones you bought are different in size from the old ones. You can tell at a glance."
Meng Yu panicked now: "What should I do? I promised Miss Qingtian that none of them would die..."
He looked at the chickens and ducks running around in despair. They looked so fragile that it seemed as if they could break their necks with just a fall.
It is simply an impossible task to not kill anyone.
"Then you have to work hard." Mr. Cen said as he put his hands behind his back and walked out.
Shi Lei returned to his usual silent self and left with Old Man Cen without looking back.
Only Meng Yu was left looking worriedly at the chickens and ducks scattered all over the ground.
"No, I have to find someone who knows what I'm doing." Meng Yu closed the door and asked around the house.
The Cen Mansion has always had only one master, Old Cen, so there are not many servants in the house.
Including Meng Yu and Shi Lei, there were less than ten people in total. Except for the two people in the kitchen who were selected and trained by Mr. Cen himself, the others were rewards from the emperor, and none of them knew how to raise chickens.
"I can pick chickens, kill chickens, and cook chickens, but you really make it difficult for me to raise chickens."
“When I was in the palace, I only saw masters and ladies raising cats and dogs, but I’ve never seen anyone raising chickens and ducks.
"Oh, by the way, there are also people who raise birds. Are they similar to chickens and ducks?"
"Isn't there someone on the farm who specializes in raising chickens and ducks? Why don't you send the chickens and ducks over and let them raise them together?"
Meng Yu asked around, but no one knew what he was doing.
"No, I have to find someone who knows what I'm doing." Meng Yu said, then got up and went out and headed straight for the north of the city.
The area north of the city is where poor people gather. There are local people from Beijing, but more are people who come from other places to make a living.
No matter what job you're looking for, you can basically find it there.
When Meng Yu arrived at the north of the city, it was already getting dark.
There weren't many people at the entrance of the alley.
After all, most people come here early in the morning to look for odd jobs. By this time, those who can find jobs have already found them, and those who can't find jobs have basically gone home.
Meng Yu was wandering around unwillingly when someone suddenly approached him and said, "Hey, young man, are you looking for someone to do some work?
"Do you think I can do it? I can do all the rough and heavy work. I can do laundry, cooking, sewing and mending, and I can also do farm work..."
Meng Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman dressed in dusty clothes standing in the corner.
