Chapter 422 The Young Master is Extraordinary
A familiar feeling quickly passed through Xin An's mind. His eyes fell on Liu Sheng and he looked at him carefully. He felt that the boy was good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and fair and tender skin, like a spoiled child raised by a wealthy family.
Xin Huan shook his head. According to Liu Sheng himself, he had grandparents who were beaten to death. His parents took him to escape but something happened again. "He was left alone, so pitiful. He was frightened again. He wouldn't say anything when the previous things were mentioned. He wouldn't tell me his name when asked."
"When I found him, he was well dressed. Not as fat as he is now, but not bad either. He even had a jade hanging around his neck. He looked like he came from a well-off family."
"I am a big eater but I am also a picky eater. I like meat but not vegetables. I know dim sum and have seen bird's nest."
For a child from a poor family, it would be good enough if he could know about osmanthus cake, let alone bird's nest. This Liu Sheng knew quite a lot of snacks. Xin Huan always felt that this child came from a prominent family.
"I estimate he has gained five or six kilograms since I picked him up."
Xin Huan sometimes thought that this kid was deliberately abandoned by his family because he ate too much. "When he got home, he volunteered to help with the kitchen, and ate three bowls of rice and half a pound of meat every meal."
"Dad originally wanted to raise him himself. First, he didn't have time to investigate his background. Second, he always felt that this boy was not simple and was a trouble. I even wondered if he thought that our family was well-off and had deliberately relied on us. Sister, do you think you can do it?"
Liu Sheng stood with his head down, his fat fingers nervously pinching the corner of his clothes, as if he had made up his mind. He looked up and said to Xin An, "Second Young Master Madam, please take me to the capital. I can eat one less bowl of rice and only eat two pieces of meat per day. Is that okay?"
That expression seemed as if eating less than a bowl of rice and a bowl of meat was a very difficult thing.
Xin An found it interesting, "You used to eat half a pound of meat every meal at home?"
The boy nodded and shook his head, "Mother won't let me."
"Does your father eat more than you?"
"Have a bowl."
He gestured with a large bowl and said, "This big bowl."
Xin An smiled and pulled out a hairpin from her head. "Tell me, does your mother have a hairpin like this?"
“Bigger than this or smaller than this?”
The boy looked at the hairpin in her hand and said, "Big."
Xin Huan looked at Xin An, and the brother and sister understood what he meant. It turned out that their family was indeed wealthy, and not just ordinary wealthy.
"You want to go to the capital?"
The boy nodded, and Xin An asked again, "Is it because someone in your family is in the capital?"
This kid is silent again, he seems quite smart.
Xin An asked Chunyang to invite Aunt Cuiping to come. The boy still lowered his eyes and played with his fat fingers. Xin Huan became more and more suspicious. "If this boy was not so unclear, I would have wanted to keep him as my son."
Xin An and Liu Sheng's eyes fell on him at the same time, and Xin Huan smiled awkwardly, "Be a younger brother."
Xin An retracted his gaze, and when Aunt Cuiping came, Xin An let her see the child. Cuiping had the idea of raising a son, and she liked the boy very much at first sight, but gave up the idea at the second sight. She had a sharp eye and could tell that this was not a child she could raise.
"This young master is very extraordinary. If the young lady doesn't mind, you can keep him."
She always felt that this boy looked very familiar, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which she had seen before.
Xin Huan also nodded, "Yes, sister, you can raise him. This kid is only six years old. He can't do anything if he is kept, and it's not easy to place him."
It is said that I am doing odd jobs in the big kitchen, but in fact I just sit around the stove and taste the food. What kind of job is this?
Even though she felt familiar with it, Xin An just nodded. She could always remember it.
"Go back to the big kitchen and do odd jobs. I'll ask Aunt Cuiping to come and see you and take you with her before she returns to Beijing."
Liu Sheng smiled with curved eyebrows, turned around and trotted away. Xin Huan looked back and said, "Look, look, he is very brave and has a lively personality. This is what can only be raised in a wealthy family."
"We have picked up many kids during our travels over the years. I know what kind of kids they are at a glance. Oh, this kid won't bring any disaster to our family, right? Maybe he has an enemy."
Xin An asked Liu Sheng if he was active during the day, and Xin Huan said, "How could he be active? I feel that this kid is a traitor. He never leaves the house, let alone sneaks out. Most of the time, he stays in the big kitchen, either eating, drinking or sleeping."
"If there's anything different, it's that he's been going to the front yard more often recently. I heard he's very interested in the capital and has been asking around lately."
Xin Huan suddenly stopped and blinked, "I went to find him and told him I would give him to you. He was very happy. Could he have been waiting for this opportunity?"
"He was a little uneasy when we brought him back, but he calmed down when he learned that you were coming back to visit your family."
Xin Huan was undoubtedly a smart man. He realized something was wrong after a few self-questions and answers. Xin An was even more puzzled, but since he couldn't remember the familiar feeling, he could only give up for the time being. Xin Huan took out a stack of banknotes and pushed them in front of Xin An, "Keep this, sister."
"What is this for?"
Xin Huan said that this was the money given to her for helping the Zhou family run their business. "Although the Zhou family has some assets, they are not wealthy. I don't think my two uncles have much money either. This is a small token of my appreciation as a brother-in-law."

"Does the Zhou family know?"
Xin Huan said he told Zhou Yutan, "I am not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name, but this matter is indeed not suitable for publicity. I will let my father-in-law and mother-in-law know when there is a chance."
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law treat me well, and my two uncles are also upright people, but they are not pedantic. If I think they are okay after meeting them, I will help them if I can."
"If you ask me in person, how can I not help you?"
Xin An pushed the banknote back to him, "Dad and Mom have given me money these days. I have enough money. Our home looks prosperous but we need money everywhere. Keep it."
"Although business is getting better, the Xu family has also spent a lot of money. This year's sugar seems to have made money, but with such a large investment, it hasn't paid off yet, right?"
Xin Huan insisted on giving him money, but Xin An said, "Your sister can't afford to spend so much money. Dad gave her a large sum when he arrived in the capital. Your sister also has a business in the capital, so she has more money than she can spend."
"Take it back. If I really need money, I won't be polite to you."
She felt like she was going to empty the house when she returned to her parents' home, and her parents were afraid that she would suffer a loss.
Xin Huan had no choice but to put away the banknotes. After returning, he gave them to Zhou Yutan for safekeeping. Zhou Yutan was shocked and asked, "Why, you don't want it?"
"Um."
Xin Huan sighed deeply, "Sister said she has money in her hands, and said that money is needed everywhere in the family, so there is no need to give her more, she will help the two uncles."
“How can this be possible?”
Zhou Yutan sat down at the side. "It costs money to hire someone to do something. How can I let my sister pay for it herself? The Zhou family would be too ignorant. No, I will go and give the money to my sister myself."
Xin Huan held her back, "Don't go. If I say no, I won't. I like you very much. As a family, we can't be too polite sometimes."
