Chapter 254 Little Mianmian is the Group's Darling
After returning home, Du Wanchun sent someone to inquire about the Feng family.
Aunt Wang knew a maid who worked in the kitchen of the Feng family, and she had heard a lot about the Feng family from her daily life.
"Wan Chun, that Boss Feng is ruthless and clever. His brothers fought tooth and nail over it before, but unexpectedly, they just took a small portion of the property and left with their families. I don't know what methods he used."
Aunt Wang said this while cracking sunflower seeds.
She's been in a good mood lately because of her son's wedding, so her eyes and brows are always smiling when she speaks.
After hearing this, Du Wanchun slowly replied, "It's quite a coincidence. Before we went to Wanzhou County, he wasn't in a hurry to open the rice shop. But when we were about to open it, they couldn't wait to drive us away."
Aunt Wang spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells. "That's because he has money and a shop. If he didn't have these things, he wouldn't be able to open a rice shop."
As she spoke, she looked up at Du Wanchun and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that Master Feng is a gambler, and he has never lost, winning a lot of wealth for his family."
Du Wanchun laughed and said, "Nine out of ten gamblers lose. Even if you didn't lose before, you're bound to lose eventually."
Aunt Wang didn't understand the meaning behind her words. She took a bite of sunflower seeds, smiled, and nodded, saying, "That's true."
Du Wanchun got up and poured her a cup of tea.
At this moment, Madam Wu walked towards them, carrying Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Qing'er.
The two little ones can now sit up.
Du Wanchun specially sewed a floor mat and laid it on the ground so that the children could play on it.
Little Mianmian got tired of playing and started clamoring for her mother.
Du Wanchun's three children are all easy to take care of, but the youngest is the most clingy.
The eldest is the most mature and acts like a little adult, while the second is the most mischievous and often tries to stand up while holding onto the bed.
It always startled Xu Xiaomei.
So now Xu Xiaomei is being extra careful, keeping a close eye on those children every day.
With many children in the family, it has become exceptionally lively as they grow up.
Every day, after finishing their work, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince would come to look after the three children.
In particular, the Third Prince had long regarded these three children as his own grandchildren.
They bring them anything fun and delicious, and they especially pamper Xiao Mianmian.
Xiao Mianmian is one of the few girls in their family spanning several generations.
Du Wanchun took Xiao Mianmian from Wu Niangzi's arms and went to the back kitchen.
Granny Zhuang was busy in the kitchen. "Little Mianmian is here. Granny has steamed some eggs for you."
After saying that, he took a small bowl out of the steamer.
The bowl contained freshly steamed eggs. Granny Zhuang drizzled some sesame oil on top and then carried it over.
When Xiao Mianmian saw the steamed egg, she waved her hand happily.
Du Wanchun held her down and took the bowl from Granny Zhuang. Because the bowl was a little hot, she quickly put it on the table and blew on the egg inside.
After the egg cooled down a little, I started feeding it to Xiao Mianmian.
Little Mianmian is a bit chubby; when she eats, her little mouth pouts and her cheeks bulge out.
Granny Zhuang's heart melted at the sight of the child eating, and she quickly turned around to prepare steamed buns.
Her children all love steamed buns, so she steams two large baskets of them every time.
Little Mianmian was about to finish eating.
Aunt Zhou came out of the incense shop and quickly kissed Xiao Mianmian's little face. Then she asked Du Wanchun, "Wanchun, I heard there's trouble at the rice shop. What happened? Should I send my fifth brother to keep an eye on things at the shop?"
Du Wanchun looked up and smiled, replying, "Mother, don't worry. I sent someone to inquire. It's the Feng family from Wanzhou County. They're a bit envious because they see us opening a rice shop in Wanzhou County."
Aunt Zhou listened with a face full of anger, "That Feng family is really going too far. They won't open their own business, so they won't let us open ours!"
Du Wanchun replied, "I heard that the eldest son of the Feng family is planning to reopen his rice shop."
Aunt Zhou was somewhat surprised after hearing this, "Then what should we do?"
Du Wanchun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Mother, don't worry, I have a plan."
Aunt Zhou always trusted Du Wanchun very much, and hearing her say this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still instructed, "Wanchun, if you need our help, be sure to ask. Don't try to handle it all yourself."
Du Wanchun nodded and replied, "Yes, I understand, Mother."
Grandma Zhou quickly took a handkerchief and wiped Xiao Mianmian's mouth. "My dear granddaughter, come here, let me hug you."
Little Mianmian quickly smiled and extended her hand.
Aunt Zhou held her in her arms and comforted her, her face full of smiles.
It seems that none of the family members were affected by this incident.
Meanwhile, in Cheng'an County.
Master Feng has not yet come out of the gambling den.
The gambling den owner said, "Master Feng, do you still want to gamble? I see you have no money left."
Master Feng gambled here for a whole day and night, losing all his possessions.
His face turned pale, his eyes were vacant, and there was only one thought in his mind: he had to win the money back, or the Feng family would be finished.
He gritted his teeth and slammed his hand heavily on the table. "I still have two houses, three shops, and an estate."
This was his last possession.
