Chapter 100

“We’re finally back. Waiter, help us settle the cow outside and bring us some side dishes,” Liao Tingyu said, his energy depleted from the afternoon walk.

“Oh, by the way, the guy upstairs who came with us, has he eaten? If not, you can let him come down to eat,” Liao Tingyu thought of Shen Wei, sympathizing with him due to his condition.

“You talked about the one with a tattoo on his face. He’s already eaten,” the waiter whispered to Liao Tingyu.

“This young master, let me tell you, this person will become rebellious after you buy him. He must be disciplined first. If you treat him too well from the beginning, he’ll become greedy in the future,” the waiter advised.

Liao Tingyu shook his head, refusing, “This person’s eyes are clear, and he doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Thank you for reminding me, brother; I will pay attention.”

“Oh, I just wanted to remind you. I hope you pay attention. Even if you want to be kind to him, you must keep your distance. I’ve seen people like him. They killed their masters and fled to the mountains and forests. As long as they don’t come out, nothing will happen to them,” the waiter recalled past events vividly.

“That person is destined to die. Although the owner back then was not good and was a bit irritable, at least he didn’t have a hard time, he wasn’t grateful at all,” the waiter concluded, not wanting to say more.

The innkeeper, aware of the situation, had been waiting for Liao Tingyu to return. “Boy, come here and let me tell you something,” the old man said by the candlelight.

“What’s wrong, old man, do you have anything to do with me?” Liao Tingyu asked.

“I’ve been waiting for you all day. I heard that you bought a man back and let him live in a high-class room,” the boss said.

“This… Well, I can’t let him come down now!” Liao Tingyu hesitated.

“Let him go! Seeing that we are so close to each other, you can either sell him or give him away.” The boss looked at the two young people and shook his head.

“Should we let him go?” Huang Zilan was reluctant, as it would be a huge loss.

“Yes, as an elder, your relatives didn’t teach you. Now I am here to teach you a lesson. You should all be children of wealthy families, right!”

Huang Zilan nodded, feeling a little guilty.

“You don’t know that these people who are being bought and sold can’t be treated as ordinary people. They may be pitiful, and you can sympathize with them, but sympathy must be distant and differentiated,” the old man said seriously.

“They are just ants crushed by straw. They have no human heart. If you treat him like this, see how comfortable he is now. Has he ever gone downstairs and waited for you at the door after you’ve been back for so long? There’s no respect or awe. He’s an out-of-control knife over your head. Once you treat him like this then trying emphasize the different status, he’ll go crazy. Then look at your hands, do you have the ability to resist?”

The two people now realize they made a big mistake.

If the boss hadn’t said this, they might only understand when something bad happens.

Originally, Liao Tingyu planned to let Shen Wei serve as a guard after he recovered. It seems he didn’t even know how to wait for his master, so how could he protect them wholeheartedly?

Maybe he would think they insulted him in the future!

‘Isn’t it just a person? Let’s count on them doing one good deed today!’

The two people saw the determination in each other’s eyes.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, neither of us would be aware of the seriousness of the problem,” Liao Tingyu bowed respectfully to the boss.

Huang Zilan also followed.

“It’s not that serious. You two, get up quickly. This is just what an older person should do.” The boss was flattered and helped them up.

“This may be a small effort on your part, but for the two of us, it’s an enlightenment and a gift of renewal. You can bear this tribute,” Liao Tingyu said.

“These words are so formal. It makes me think that I’ve done a great thing! In fact, it’s just some words,” the boss said.

Liao Tingyu exchanged a few polite words, and when he returned to the room, he still wanted to struggle when passing by Shen Wei’s room. If he were seriously injured, he might not have fallen asleep.

“Go in and take a look!” Huang Zilan said, wanting to see the truth as well.

The two of them deliberately went in without knocking. Shen Wei hadn’t slept.

How could he sleep? The sun hadn’t set yet!

The man who was supposed to stand up to greet them sat at the window. He looked up at the two people who came in uninvited and said, “You two are back! You go ahead! I’ll ask the waiter to bring the pot of tea. You must be thirsty on such a hot day!”

Liao Tingyu greeted him like a friend.

No! There was something suffocating in my heart!

“No, we’ve already had water. Have you eaten?” Liao Tingyu smiled softly like nothing happened.

“Done it, thank you for your concern,” Shen Wei smiled.

“That’s good. We have something to do this afternoon, so we’re temporarily placing you here because we’re worried that you won’t get used to it!” Liao Tingyu saw they were seated, and since Shen Wei hadn’t poured them tea, he poured a cup for him and Huang Zilan each.

“I’m fine, thank you for your concern,” Shen Wei expressed his happiness at being alive.

“That’s good. This is your thing. Now I’ll return it to you. I hope you take good care of it.” Liao Tingyu sighed in relief and handed over the deed of sale.

Huang Zilan cooperated well, giving the deed to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei took it happily but was puzzled, “Then why did you give this to me?”

“We originally planned to rescue you, so of course, we have to return this to you,” Liao Tingyu lied convincingly.

“Really? You guys are really kind,” Shen Wei said, opening the deed of sale eagerly.

“Thank you two for your great kindness.” Shen Wei wanted to leave in a hurry without even paying the money, leaving Liao Tingyu feeling upset.

“I have a sister who has suffered since childhood. As a younger brother, I can’t just sit idly by and ignore what happened this time. I want to go find her,” Shen Wei explained.@@novelbin@@

“It’s okay, you can go. I have relatives at home, so I can understand you,” Liao Tingyu empathized.

“Thank you,” Shen Wei left without taking anything.

.

Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan decided to leave this place early, feeling the situation was awkward.

Huang Zilan asked, “What should we do?”

“How about finding a capable driver like Joseph?” Liao Tingyu suggested.

“What about our bullock cart?” Huang Zilan complained.

“How about using two cows to pull a cart!” Liao Tingyu proposed a somewhat impractical idea.

Huang Zilan agreed reluctantly, “Fortunately, you listened to me and didn’t buy a cart today. If you had, we would have lost a lot of money.”

“Yeah, forget it. Everyone is gone. I don’t miss him anymore. We will learn from this. Let’s pay attention next time,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Then how should we find it now, with your eyes and mine?” Huang Zilan, initially thinking of himself as a business wizard, felt deeply challenged.

He wanted to buy this person. Although Liao Tingyu, as the husband, did not stop him and even agreed with it, he was the one who paid for it and had the greatest responsibility.

Liao Tingyu also doubted himself. He never thought that his judgment of people would be so bad. He really wanted to go back in time, to the moment of eating, and swallow what he said to the waiter.

“How about we ask the boss and let him take us to find someone?” Liao Tingyu suggested.

“It’s so troublesome. Don’t you think it’s bad?” Huang Zilan hesitated.

“This is a bit bad, but our judgment is even worse. Let’s see if there is any way we can help the boss to return the favor,” Liao Tingyu said helplessly, holding his forehead.

“Okay, that’s settled. I’ll trouble him tomorrow and let me make some mental preparations first,” Huang Zilan said, eager to leave the room and not dwell on the encounter with the white-eyed wolf.

For the first time, someone had taken money away from him. Really annoying.

Liao Tingyu didn’t want to go there immediately. He planned to take a nap and try to calm his thoughts.

.

The next morning, after Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan finished breakfast, they approached the boss.

“Uncle, can you take us to find a capable and strong person to accompany us for a while?”

The boss looked up from the account book and scrutinized the two for a long time: “That person is gone!”

Liao Tingyu nodded bravely and emphasized, “He left very quickly. After returning the deed of sale to him yesterday, he didn’t even mention returning the money to me; he just said thank you.”

“I guess that’s the case,” the boss said with a frown.

“Wait for me, I’ll forget about this. I’ll take you to take a look and teach you how to judge people and control them.” The boss agreed without much thought.

Liao Tingyu observed his boss, making several calculations based on a simple account. The key was that he was wrong every time, and the mistakes were different. It made him anxious, but fortunately, he was not his student.

Looking at the sun officially rising high in the sky, they needed to leave soon.

“How about I help you figure it out? I’ll do it for you in a moment,” Liao Tingyu couldn’t help but offer.

The boss glanced at him in surprise, “You can calculate accounts and read?”

“Why not? My brother is a teacher,” Huang Zilan said proudly.

These four words ignited confidence between the two of them.
