Chapter 32: There is always trouble at a widow’s door!



"Butler Yan, my mother and I still have some braised meat to sell. Once I've sold all the braised meat, we can talk about other things."

"We'll buy these!" Butler Yan took out a purse from his arms and took out ten taels of silver.

"Is this enough?"

Gao Miao shook his head.

Everyone around was stunned.

Ten taels of silver is not enough for such a small amount of braised meat? Why did this kid suddenly ask for such a huge amount?

Butler Yan stuffed the silver back into the purse and then gave the entire purse to Gao Miao.

"If it's not enough, I'll give it to you when we get back to Yan's house."

Gao Miao shook his head again, "That's not what I meant, a bowl of braised pork is twelve cents.

Let me show you how many there are first?

We'll just take what we have. I won't charge you a penny more.

We are a small business, but we are honest and trustworthy and will not cheat our customers.”

Gao Miao calmly went through the remaining braised meat bowl by bowl, and there were just a little more than ten bowls left.

"It's a little more than ten bowls, so let's call it ten bowls. Just pay me one hundred and twenty coins."

Butler Yan was still in a daze, looking at Gao Miao in disbelief.

There are dozens of taels of silver in his purse.

He didn't want so much silver and only took 1,120 coins.

This is really a rare thing!

"One hundred and twenty wen."

Gao Miao reminded again.

Butler Yan then hurriedly counted out one hundred and twenty coins and gave them to Gao Miao, and then asked the waiter to carry the bamboo basket.

"Sir, can we go now?"

Gao Miao shook his head.

"I have something else to do, please wait for me."

Steward Yan and others were so anxious that they were almost dying. Their master at home was so anxious that he had bubbles at the mouth.

Yesterday, their master went to meet a friend and fell down just as he walked out of the shop.

Logically speaking, he would only get bruised, but Mr. Yan broke one of his legs and also had a cut on his forehead.

The meeting with my friend failed and I missed out on a deal.

I heard it’s a big deal!

Mr. Yan suddenly remembered what Gao Miao had reminded him of in the pawnshop that day, and hurriedly asked Butler Yan to come to the room to talk.

Butler Yan felt that it was not that mysterious, it was just a coincidence.

He was just thinking about what to say when the scary man came running over in panic and told him that the old lady said she was sleepy after dinner and went back to her room to sleep.

When the servants entered the room to serve, they found that the old lady had passed away peacefully.

Mr. Yan's face turned pale, he broke out in a cold sweat, and fell off the stool.

Butler Yan's heart was pounding, and he cursed in his heart: "How dnd weird!"

The old lady had always been in good health, and no one expected something like this to happen.

While Mr. Yan was preparing for the funeral, he also sent people to investigate and find Gao Miao.

Believe it or not, he must find this guy?

If he doesn't find out clearly, he will be unable to sleep or eat.

I found this place from last night until today after hearing people talking about the appearance of the little boy selling braised meat.

Now seeing Gao Miao's unhurried look, Butler Yan wanted to urge him, but he didn't dare to.

Butler Yan and others followed Gao Miao into the vegetable market and watched Gao Miao go straight to the pork stall.

The butcher's stall owner still had some pork left to sell, and when he saw Xie and her son coming, he hurriedly greeted them.

Take out all the things under the stall in one go.

"Gao Miao, I have collected all the goods from their stalls here.

Don't be polite with me. These things are not valuable, but they represent my little gift.

You must accept it!

I'm grateful for your reminder of what happened yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to handle the consequences."

Gao Miao nodded and accepted it generously.

"Okay! I'll take it then."

"Okay, okay! That's right." The butcher stall owner was happy.

Steward Yan and the others frowned and held their breath.

There were four large barrels of pig offal placed in front of me, and the smell was so strong!

"Mom, it's the same as yesterday."

"Okay! But don't you want to go with them?"

Xie understood what Gao Miao meant, which was to divide the work like yesterday.

She carried the pig into the water, and Gao Miao carried the pig's head.

"Let's find a place. Wait for me! We still need to buy flour and other things."

The Yan Mansion is not a suitable place for Xie and Gao Zhi to go there.

Butler Yan also knows this truth.

“Sir, how about I have someone send Madam Gao and these things home first.

When you are done here, I will send someone to take you back."

Gao Miao shook his head, "No need! My mother and sister are waiting for me, just find a place for them to sit."

There is always trouble around a widow!

Gao Acai's family was already keeping an eye on them, and if they saw a carriage taking them home, who knows what they would say.

Butler Yan looked at the waiter and said, "Take someone to help Madam Gao pick out the things and take them to the pawnshop. Make sure they are in good hands."

"Yes, butler."

The waiter waved and called someone over, and the two of them helped carry the pig's head and offal out.

Xie was embarrassed and quickly looked at Gao Miao.

Gao Miao nodded, "Mom, go with them! Wait for me there, I will come to you soon."

Xie nodded and followed the waiter and the others.

Gao Miao looked at the butcher again, "Uncle, thank you!"

"You're welcome! It's just a small token of my appreciation!"

Gao Miao nodded. His words and actions revealed a maturity and steadiness that was not in line with his age.

The butcher looked at Gao Miao's back and said to himself, "He is indeed an expert!"

However, he remembered what Gao Miao said, the secret cannot be revealed!

So, as soon as Gao Miao and his friends left, people at the stall next to him asked him about Gao Miao, but he avoided the question.

Actually, there is really not much to say.

Because he didn't know Gao Miao at all. He just came here yesterday to buy pig heads and offal, and then reminded him.

There is no other intersection!

Yan Mansion, with white lanterns hanging at the door.

The housekeeper invited Gao Miao to the study.

"Please wait here for a while, I will go and ask my master to come over."

"good!"

Gao Miao sat down.

The housekeeper looked back when he left, and always felt that Gao Miao was unusual and particularly steady at this moment!

It's abnormal for a child to behave like this!

soon!

The housekeeper helped Master Yan in.

Mr. Yan was dressed in mourning, holding a cane in his left hand, and walking with a limp.

The housekeeper helped Master Yan to sit down at the table, closed the door immediately, and asked the servants to guard the yard, not allowing anyone to approach the study.

Gao Miao smiled inwardly.

It’s a good thing to be so cautious!

He doesn't want more people to know what he is going to say or do next.

Master Yan looked at Gao Miao steadily. His expression was steady and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.

Master Yan endured the pain and stood up, bowing solemnly to Gao Miao.

"Master Gao, I was blind and didn't recognize the real master. I have offended you in the past."

Gao Miao bowed in return.

Master Yan sat down and said, "Master Gao, how did you know that I was in a bloody disaster and in mourning?"

Gao Miao asked back, "I wonder if Master Yan has ever heard of Crazy Xuanzi in the martial arts world?"

Master Yan nodded: "I have heard of it, but I don't know him!"
