Chapter 525 Human Essence
"Ancestors!"
Xu Laosan was completely defeated by Fubao.
Well, Fubao actually understood that his current behavior was too willful and unreasonable in the eyes of his third brother. But in the current situation, Fubao had no choice but to do so.
Of course, Fubao himself doesn’t think he is so willful.
Although she is small in stature, she has the soul of an adult.
She is a little devil, that's her!
"Third brother, just take me with you. I promise not to cause you any trouble!"
Seeing her third brother being so upset by her, Fubao felt a little sorry for him, so she naturally softened.
As the saying goes, use both hard and soft tactics, a two-pronged approach.
"Little sister, I admit that you are very good."
"But, since you want to go to the capital so much, why don't you go and tell our parents yourself?"
Xu Lao San knew he couldn't persuade his younger sister, so he decided to try a different way of communicating. No matter what, he didn't want to be punished by his parents afterwards.
"If I tell my parents, they will definitely not agree!"
Fubao answered directly and straightforwardly.
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes and said, "So, you just caught your third brother in a trap?"
"Where can I find it?"
Fubao smiled cheerfully at his third brother and said, "Third brother, I've made up my mind. How about you go first and I'll catch up with you. You wait for me in the county town!"
"That way, even if our parents want to blame me, they can only blame me for running around. On the contrary, Third Brother, you can go back and send someone to bring back a message saying that they caught me on the way."
"That should be all right, right?"
Knowing that his third brother was afraid of taking responsibility, Fubao simply took a step back.
Of course, this so-called step back was actually her original idea.
But she knew that if she said this right from the start, her third brother would definitely resist. So, she simply told her third brother a plan that he would clearly not agree to, and then offered this second-best option as a compromise.
In this way, the possibility of her third brother agreeing will definitely increase significantly.
"All right!"
"We agreed on it, you ran away on your own!"
Xu Laosan never imagined that his little sister would play a trick on him by asking for a high price and then paying it back. Of course, whether it was Fubao who asked for the price or paid the money, it was Fubao himself.
…
Boss Xu went to the provincial capital to rescue the employees of the rice shop who were imprisoned.
Saving people is like putting out a fire.
There is no time to lose.
Therefore, after Boss Xu and the families of the hired workers left, they rushed to the provincial capital at full speed.
Xu Laosan went to the provincial capital to build momentum and fan the flames.
So, he had to slow down, but he couldn't go too late.
Just half a day after Boss Xu left, Third Xu also set out on the road to the provincial capital.
Then, Fubao quietly followed Xu Laosan and left Lingshui Village. Of course, she didn't go alone, but took Lichun and Xiachu with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu didn't expect Fubao to go to the provincial capital. They just thought she was out playing.
However, Mother Cai soon discovered that Fubao was not in the village.
Then, Mother Cai found the letter left by Fubao, gave the letter to Mr. Xu, and then she chased after him.
When Fubao thought she would not be discovered until dark, she was caught up by Cai's mother. Fortunately, Cai's mother was not there to catch her back.
"Mother Cai, you are so kind!"
After knowing that he would not be caught, Fubao looked at Mother Cai with tears of gratitude.
After hearing Fubao's words of gratitude, Mother Cai just smiled and said, "County Lady, this won't happen again."
"Of course, of course!"
Fubao responded quickly.
Of course, Fubao’s inner thought was, let’s talk about it next time.
…
When Fubao arrived at the county town and found her third brother waiting there, she scared him to death.
"Mother Cai!"
Old Third Xu glared at Fubao bitterly. He hadn't expected Mother Cai to be here. If only Lichun and Xiachu were here, then his and Fubao's appointment would have been kept secret.
But now, with Mother Cai here, Xu Laosan felt that he was being cheated by his younger sister.
"Third Young Master, the Marquis and his wife know!"
Mother Cai looked at Xu Laosan calmly, and her first words made Xu Laosan feel sad and desperate.
"Little sister, you tricked me again!"
"Third brother, this is not my fault!"
Fubao refused to admit that he had betrayed his third brother.
Xu Lao San was extremely depressed, but no matter how depressed he was, the matter was already settled. He could only take Fu Bao to the provincial capital. After all, the current situation was the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.
"County Lady and Third Young Master, you...?"
When Mother Cai heard the conversation between Xu Laosan and Fubao, she was stunned at first, and then she felt that she had guessed the truth.
Fubao and Xu Laosan were both dumbfounded, because their previous conversation seemed to be a confession, exposing their previous conspiracy.
"Third brother, don't blame me this time, it's all your own fault!"
Fubao came to his senses first, then decisively shifted the blame, putting all the blame on his third brother.
Xu Laosan didn't want to say anything.
Well, it was indeed his fault this time!
The group quickly got on the carriage and headed for the provincial capital.
The management of horse-drawn carriages in Xiangyi Prefecture developed rapidly, and in order to support the development of this industry, all official roads were built very smoothly.
Therefore, as long as the carriage is not traveling at full speed on the official road, the ride is not very bumpy.
When Fubao sneaked out of the village, he brought a quilt with him.
Nowadays, putting quilts in carriages can not only keep people warm but also cushion the bumps of the carriage, which really kills two birds with one stone.
…
Lingshui Village, Old Xu’s home.
Old Madam Xu was glaring at Old Master Xu with a bad face, while Old Master Xu looked at his wife with a bitter look and whispered, "Wife, don't be angry!"
"Our Fubao is a little smart boy, with more tricks than the third brother!"
"Nothing will go wrong if she goes to the capital."
"How dare you say that!"
Old Madam Xu replied unhappily, then added, "No matter how clever Fubao is, she's just a child. Is this something she should get involved in?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault!"
Old Master Xu quickly admitted his mistake and asked, "How about I go to the capital city now?"
"But forget it!"
Old Madam Xu rolled her eyes at Old Man Xu. "You're bedridden right now. If someone saw you in the capital, who knows what kind of trouble you'd get into!"
"Yes, yes, wife, you are right!"
Mr. Xu is an old hand who knows how to pamper his wife.
Over the years, whenever I quarreled with Old Mrs. Xu, I never tried to reason with her, but just admitted my mistake.
