"Everyone is equal in this world, so money should be even more equal. If I steal other people's money, it means that the money should have been mine. This is not called stealing, this is called taking back what belongs to me!" The little boy spoke very logically. Shu'er looked at the little boy speechlessly. Where did this boy learn so many crooked theories? It seems that children who grow up in the streets and alleys will inevitably develop bad habits.

"Who told you that everyone in the world is equal?" Gu Yunru became interested in this little guy. He bent down to be at eye level with him so that the little boy could be more respectful.

"That's what the Buddha said. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so money should be even more equal!"

"Pfft..." Shu'er couldn't help but burst out laughing. This little guy really has a lot of twisted logic.

"Hehe, what's your name?" Gu Yunru looked at the little boy in front of her. His skin was fair, but there were a lot of dirt on it. If he dressed up carefully, he would be handsome.

"I don't have a name, they all call me a little beggar!" The little beggar spoke very clearly and seemed very confident. It was hard to imagine what kind of environment he grew up in. Perhaps he was born with arrogance.

"Okay, little beggar, do you want to have food to eat every day?" Gu Yunru gradually persuaded him. The little beggar took a step back. "You are not human traffickers, are you trying to sell me?"

"Can you speak, little guy? How could we be human traffickers? Have you ever seen a human trafficker who is so beautiful?" Shu'er rolled her eyes helplessly. This little beggar was quite alert.

Gu Yunru looked at him naively, smiled, and pinched his little face that was full of collagen.

“We are not human traffickers. I opened a restaurant and I’m just short of staff. Are you willing to do odd jobs?” Gu Yunru planned to influence him with love. This kid is quite intelligent. If he is taken in and trained well, he will have a bright future! “Aunt…are you crazy? This kid has unknown origins and has a lot of bad habits. Are you really going to take him back?” Shu’er felt that this was a serious matter, so she took her hand and walked aside, keeping an eye on the little beggar’s movements from the corner of her eyes.

"I believe that human nature is good, and I think what the little beggar said makes sense. Since all beings are equal, money should also be equal. As long as everyone contributes a little, the rewards they receive should also be equal." Gu Yunru felt that what the little beggar said did make some sense, but it did not stand up to scrutiny if you think about it carefully. However, in order to make the little beggar understand, she had no choice but to take him back.

"Have you discussed it? I'm hungry and I want to eat!" The little beggar looked at the two young ladies with an impatient look on his face. They were wearing gold and silver jewelry and were very luxurious. They must be from a wealthy family. It didn't seem like they were human traffickers. He was worrying too much!

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to Huajianlou."

"What Huajianlou? I heard that the Yipin Pot there is the best in the world. Can you treat me to a Yipin Pot?!" The little beggar's eyes lit up. This Yipin Pot was very expensive. The shark fin and abalone used in it were of the finest quality. Only the rich and noble could have a taste of it. A little beggar like him who grew up in the alley could only look at it and quench his thirst.

"Of course, eat whatever you want." Gu Yunru clapped his hands and took the little beggar back to the kitchen. In order not to affect the guests in front of him, he placed him in a remote house.

"It's so delicious, so delicious!" The little beggar's mouth was full of oil. He didn't know how to use chopsticks at all. Even though his hands were burned and blistered, he couldn't help throwing the meatballs into his mouth. It can be seen how powerful this delicacy is.

Seeing that he ate like a refugee, with no manners at all, Shu'er shook her head and sat aside, pounding her cheek with one hand and asked, "Don't you have any family?"

"Yes, I have many brothers and sisters!"

"Oh, what about your parents?"

Asked this sensitive question, the little beggar slowed down.

Shu'er looked at Gu Yunru, not knowing whether she asked the wrong question. She sat carefully next to the little beggar, trying to calm him down.

"I'm sorry, did I ask the wrong question?"

"It's nothing. I didn't know where my parents were since I was born. But I'm very happy to have those brothers and sisters. Can I bring all the leftover food to them?" The little beggar made a request. Gu Yunru thought that this little guy was quite kind, but it was not appropriate to call him a little beggar.

"How about this, I'll give you a name." Gu Yunru stood in front of him, "How about Mingxuan?"

“Mingxuan sounds like a very cultured name, but I can’t even recognize two characters…” The little beggar lowered his head in shame, thinking that he was not worthy of such a good name. It sounded like a name with a strong scholarly flavor.

"It doesn't matter. I'll ask the boss to hire a teacher for you." Shu'er raised her swan neck proudly. The little beggar immediately realized something and stood up excitedly and said, "No way, you are the boss of this Huajianlou!"

"Of course, I'm the owner of Zou Huajianlou. You've been eating there for so long and you still don't know... my identity?" Gu Yunru looked at the little beggar with a smile and saw his expression of sudden enlightenment. That expression was so interesting.

"Boss, please forgive me if what I said to you before was offensive..." The little beggar lowered his head, wishing he could take back what he had just said.

"Alright, alright, the boss has remembered what you just said. From now on, you will be called Mingxuan. You can also take these dishes back for your brothers and sisters to eat."

Shu'er asked Mazi and others to pack the food and bring it back to him, and agreed to have Mingxuan come over at this time tomorrow.

After doing these things, Shu'er felt relaxed all over, but she looked like she was worried. "What's wrong, aunt? Are you thinking about Mingxuan again?"

"I guess so. There are so many people in Qizhou City alone who don't have enough food or warm clothing. Sometimes I wonder if I should do more..." Gu Yunru had already noticed the gap between the rich and the poor here, but he never took any action. Wanchunlou only hired a few ordinary cooks to take care of it, and the business didn't improve.
