Chapter 404: What is the Fat Old Man's Identity?

Bai rushed back again."Oh no, sister-in-law, she really went into the village. Let's hurry and stop her!"Fang Jinshi called to Zong Bo, "Let her go."The two brothers turned to her in surprise."What ar...Fang Jinshu's carriage gradually drove away, Zhao Xingzhou was angry again but it was useless, Wang Tiezhu patted his arm sympathetically.

"Jinshu's sister-in-law didn't believe you at first and that's why you used a fake name, but her name is actually real."

"It seems your sister-in-law doesn't completely distrust you."

Zhao Xiaojiu snorted coldly, "Is that so"

"Do you guys do things for her, and she always lies to you"

Tiezhu immediately shook his head, “My sister-in-law wouldn’t treat us like that. She’s been so good to us.”

"Don't worry, Little Ninth Master. When we get to know each other better, your sister-in-law will definitely trust you completely."

Tie Zhu's comfort was useless. Zhao Xingzhou understood that Fang Jinxiu would never trust him completely like she did with Wang Tiezhu.

He snorted coldly, forget it, anyway, everyone takes what they want!

In the carriage, Fang Jinshu looked at the various snacks and drinks Zhao Xiajiu had carefully prepared. He even brought several pillows and cushions to make sure they wouldn't be uncomfortable on the bumpy road.

That's thoughtful.

Thinking about it, she actually felt a bit guilty.

"A-Yu, am I too suspicious of Zhao Xiaojiu"

Zongyu immediately shook her head. Usually, when Zongyu asked him questions, he was slow to respond, but this time he answered super quickly.

"No."

He's just someone we met a few days ago, and it's wise to be cautious.

Fang Jinshi nodded, in fact, she had heard quite a bit about Zhao Xiajiu's experiences from childhood to adulthood from the Fifth Miss later.

This child has never seen his own mother since he was young. His biological father is just as absent as if he didn't exist. He has been bullied since childhood.

He is also a pitiful person.

"The things you left for him are what he needs most."

“Zhao Xingzhou doesn't need anyone's sympathy.”

As men, we see things more clearly. There's ambition constantly swirling in his eyes.

Fang Jinshu thought about it, and the two of them dropped the topic, starting to talk about the construction of the mountaintop and the manor again.

As the carriage neared the city gate, it suddenly came to a halt. The two passengers exchanged surprised glances.

The coachman's voice came, "Madam, someone is looking for you."

Who is it

Fāng Jǐnxiù hurriedly lifted the curtain and saw the portly old man smiling at her from a distance.

"So it's you."

She told the coachman to stop the carriage by the roadside, and then got out of it.

The biggest gain from her trip to Luoshui City was meeting the fat old man. He did such a big favor for her, and she still doesn't know his name to this day.

"Well, old man, I don't know how to address you. It's not good to keep calling you 'old man,' is it"

The stout old man chuckled and said, "Just call me Grandpa Fatty."

"Huh That's not quite right, is it" What's with this old geezer suddenly acting mysterious.

"It's nothing, Xia Jinxiu. Why didn't you even say goodbye to me before leaving"

Fan Jinshi's face was full of surprise, "Fat Grandpa, how did you know my name"

The fat old man smiled without saying a word, knowing her name wasn't worth much. He knew many more.

"The recipes and medicine you gave me were very effective, you saved my life. In the future, if you have any difficulties, come to the Wine and Meat Tavern to find me."

"If I'm not in the shop, just leave a message for the shopkeeper."

Since Grandpa was unwilling to speak, she respected his wishes.

Everyone in life has secrets, doesn't he If he doesn't say it, she can dig it up herself.

But listening to the old man's words, he probably didn't mean any harm. It was just that this feeling of information inequality made Fang Jinshi feel particularly insecure.

The other party knew themselves, but she knew nothing about the fat old man, not even his name.

The stout old man seemed to have sensed Fang Jinshu's thoughts and smiled even wider, his face, already fleshy, was squeezed into a slit by the eyes.

This smile, her lips were almost completely closed.

"You don't have to say anything, Fat Grandpa. For your health, you should lose some weight and control your cravings."

"Your illness is caused by your extremely unhealthy diet."

"Remember to keep a clean diet,"

"If you don't follow doctor's orders, even the great gods won't be able to help you."

The portly old man chuckled and nodded. Fang Jinshu still thought this old man was just here to send her off, so she finished speaking and prepared to get in the car and leave.

It's best to get an early start. Traveling mountain roads at night with so much luggage would be quite inconvenient.

"Hold on, girl, there's someone else you haven't met yet."

The portly old man grabbed her arm and then pointed towards the city gate. Fang Jinxiu looked in that direction with surprise.

A merchant caravan slowly emerged from within.t every letter reporting the disaster and requesting help was sent upwards, yet there was never a response.His urgent dispatch sent eight hundred miles to the capital was quickly answered. The letter...
