After Chen Daming received this errand from his mother, he simply cleaned up his things early the next morning.

He took enough money and gifts and went directly to the county town to find his godfather, Captain Huang.

Not long after he arrived, he saw his godfather, who was leisurely, fat, but with a dark complexion.

As soon as Chen Daming saw his godfather, he showed unusual enthusiasm.

"Dad, your son is here to pay his respects to you!"

"Dad, have you been doing well lately? Are you in good health? My mother has been worried about you recently. Last night, she asked me to bring some good things from home to honor you..."

Chen Daming was quite fawning and close to his godfather. Especially

his attitude, which really made the captain Huang, who liked to hear people flatter him, feel comfortable.

"Daming, why are you here today? Didn't you come here just ten days ago?"

After hearing this, Chen Daming took out some snacks that he had prepared long ago.

"Dad, just a few days ago, I went to the provincial capital with a few other small traders. After we got there, I met a few white-skinned Hu merchants with red hair. I thought the things they were selling were quite rare, so I thought of buying a few more to honor you. Besides, didn't you tell me a few days ago that you have been having a headache and didn't know what birthday present to give to our county master."

"When I thought about it, I felt that no matter whether my son can help you or not, I have to spend a lot of money to buy those things..."

After saying this, Chen Daming gave over the pile of snacks and miscellaneous gifts he had prepared.

When Captain Huang saw the pile of things in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched.

In his opinion, this son of his was more like his own son than his own.

Maybe it was really as others had guessed, the boy named Chen Daming in front of him was indeed his child!

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he had been filial to him for ten years.

Thinking of this, Captain Huang opened the carefully prepared gifts one by one in front of him.

He found that there were four large packages of snacks with bright colors and exquisite shapes. At first glance, you could tell that they were very expensive. Captain Huang couldn't help but sigh.

"The snacks sold in the prefecture are really good. Look at these, they look good but not tasty! These things are all made delicately, but they are not as practical as the snacks made in our county. ... However, these things should still be popular with ladies."

At this point, Captain Huang rewrapped the packaging paper of these things. Then he personally pulled them all to him.

"Son, you still have a big family to support! I want these four snacks, and you can take the rest back."

Captain Huang actually knew that his son's life has not been easy in recent years.

He runs around the villages every day, selling small things everywhere, but he doesn't make much money. It's not as much as the money they make in the government office.

His son, who didn't make money, would eagerly take something good from him whenever he had it. Captain Huang suddenly felt guilty about him.

He had never paid much attention to this son over the years. He also didn't give much money to his lover.

However, this mother and son had always been very sincere to him over the years.

Thinking of the miserable son he had raised at home and the son in front of him, Captain Huang spoke to him with a happy face.

"Daming, you come home with me today. Rest at home for a night, have a good meal, and go back tomorrow morning..."

"It's windy at night. I'm worried about you going back in the dark." Thinking

of Chen Daming doing small business all day long, making no money and being particularly dangerous, Captain Huang suddenly started thinking and told him the idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Daming, after a while, I have a few small shops under my control. Do you want them?"

Chen Daming suddenly heard this and his eyes widened.

"Dad, what do you mean? Are you going to give me the shop?... No, no, no... If your family knew about this, they would have a big fight."

Upon hearing this, Captain Huang said,

"My things, I give them to whoever I want. Don't think too much! Besides, no one knows who owns my shop until now." "

Of course, if you want to be polite to me and refuse to take it, then I will rent it to you. Let's sign a document and charge you 100 coins per month for rent for three years. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Daming was very happy. "Okay, Dad."

"This way, no one else will have anything to say..."

Seeing Chen Daming happy, Captain Huang told Chen Daming the locations of his shops.

Chen Daming frowned unconsciously after hearing this.

Oh..., one of these shops seems to have some relationship with his third sister's relatives!

So, Chen Daming thought about it and took out all the ten taels of silver he was holding in front of his chest.

Then, he began to tell Captain Huang about the affairs of Gu Decong and his brothers in a serious manner.

"Dad, those young men have already begged my third sister's family. My third sister was so frustrated by their crying that she went to my mother. My mother is soft-hearted and doesn't know the ins and outs of this. She took advantage of my absence and enthusiastically agreed to this matter. Oh, Dad, I don't know what to do about this matter..."

When Captain Huang saw the ten taels of silver on the table, he couldn't help but sneered.

"Daming, those guys named Gu who came to your house didn't tell your third sister and your mother a few words of truth!"

Chen Daming's ears unconsciously leaned over when he heard this.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"It's impossible for the tofu shop owner to really put poison in the diners' bowls, right?"

"If his family really dared to do this, not only would their reputation be ruined, they would also be unable to hold their heads up in our village, and their family might even be destroyed!"
