“Yes, we can’t really let you pay for it.” Su Jiaoniang said, a happy smile on her face.
The agreement she signed with Fu Chuntang wasn't entirely without its benefits. If she wanted to set up a small shop or a stall like the one at the dock in the market, the Fu family wouldn't mind at all.
As long as we don't open a restaurant and compete with the wealthy for business, it's fine.
After this incident, Su Jiaoniang realized that it was absolutely impossible to be without money.
Lu Wujiu's unintentional words echoed in his mind.
We can't let him pay!
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
She watched the person walk towards the bedroom and sighed softly.
A smile crept onto Futu's lips; seeing the man humiliated made him feel much happier.
Noticing Xiao Futu's gaze, Lu Wujiu turned around, and their eyes met. In their identical eyes, different emotions were revealed.
Lu Wujiu picked up the Buddha statue and walked out: "He's already five years old and he can still be kidnapped by a weak scholar. He's useless."
Lu Futu was displeased upon hearing this. He was only five years old. Wasn't it normal for a five-year-old child to be taken away?
Besides, he had already run away. It was Changsheng, that clumsy guy, who was taken away by Lu Daishu. He knew that Lu Daishu's target was him. If he didn't follow, who knew what Lu Daishu might do?
After all, Lu Daishu had no idea about Changsheng's identity.
Otherwise, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to kidnap Changsheng.
"Don't keep your thoughts to yourself. If you want to prove you're useful, beat me first," Lu Daishu said.
He would leave sooner or later. Although he would leave behind guards to protect him, no one can do everything in their power. A woman as outstanding as her was like a phoenix among a flock of chickens, dazzling and brilliant. She had no idea who she would attract.
Lu Futu is growing too slowly.
After Lu Wujiu finished speaking, he attacked Futu, whose eyes widened in surprise.
He never expected that a regent would preemptively strike a child.
He was subdued in one move.
The second time, being prepared, he struck first, but was still picked up and carried around the waist.
The third time, the fourth time!
As the battle continued, Lu Futu's expression grew cold, and he looked at Lu Wujiu as if he were his father's killer.
Why make things difficult for him when he clearly has the advantage in height and age?
He turned and ran home. However, as long as Lu Wujiu didn't say stop, the one-sided beating wouldn't stop. Unable to beat him or outrun him, Lu Futu's resentment grew stronger, and his eyes filled with murderous intent until Lu Futu collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Returning home in the middle of the night, Lu Futu soaked in hot water, and conceived many ways to kill Lu Wujiu in his mind.
Although he is young and short, and may be outmatched by adults, his height and appearance can still fool many people.
He beat him up, he killed him!
Lu Futu closed his eyes and, for once, slept without a dream.
The next morning, Xiao Futu took advantage of his morning run to go to Doctor Liu's courtyard.
He stared at the planted herbs, his eyes flickering.
He took out his medical manual and found some strange medicines commonly used in the martial arts world, such as "five-step fall" and "half-step stagger," and ground and mixed them according to the prescription.
After finishing a set of health-preserving exercises, Doctor Liu walked to the Buddha statue.
Looking at the medicine prepared by the child.
His brows were furrowed so tightly they looked like they were about to trap a mosquito.
This stuff is extremely unfriendly; if someone eats it, they'll immediately collapse.
Looking at Xiao Futu, it seems he hasn't made any enemies in the past two days, except for those few people from the Lu family.
Are you suggesting we poison the Lu family?
Dr. Liu had witnessed ruthless people, poisoning, drowning, and beheading—all sorts of bizarre ways to die. He knew better than anyone just how low people's moral bottom line could be.
Seeing the Buddha statue in this state, and recalling its past behavior, one can understand why.
They secretly replaced Futu's medicine with ordinary diarrhea medicine, the kind that makes you have diarrhea that you can't stop.
It can punish people without getting blood on your hands.
At his age, he finally met a child like Futu who was talented in pharmaceuticals. How could he bear to let the child go down the dark path and become depraved?
The child is still young, but he is an adult.
Some things should be prevented if possible.
Like seeing a crooked sapling, no matter how luxuriant its branches are, you have to take scissors and prune it. It takes ten years of pruning and trimming to cultivate a pillar of society.
Futu carried the prepared medicinal powder home.
After sizing up Lu Wujiu, countless ideas had already formed in his mind.
He knew what Lu Wujiu liked to eat and what preferences he had. He went to the kitchen and saw Su Jiaoniang cooking. He said in a soft voice, "Mother, I'll light the fire for you."
“Okay!” Su Jiaoniang nodded, her eyes narrowing.
I just feel like my own child has grown up.
With just one more person tending the fire, her enthusiasm grew, and she stir-fried a small green vegetable and prepared some meat.
This breakfast is usually quite light.
Su Jiaoniang was in a good mood and did a lot of things.
Lu Futu took out the medicine packet from his hand and stared at the steamed dumplings in the bowl. These belonged to Mr. Gu.
Let's just poison him.
Just as she was about to start, Su Jiaoniang, who had finished preparing the ingredients, turned around and said, "Son, what happened to your face? It's all bruised and swollen. Did you get into a fight with your friends at the private school?"
Su Jiaoniang asked the question with an expectant look on her face.
How can kids not fight?
How can there be parents who don't get called to school by the teacher during their child's school hours?
Aside from skipping class last time, Futu has been too obedient and sensible. As his mother, she has never had the chance to listen to his teachings. Now, looking at Futu's face, she can see her restless desire written all over her face.
