After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 182 Another step forward...

Seeing his daughter-in-law so sensible, Liu Zheng said "hmm" with satisfaction, and turned his eyes to Ling Chuan and Xia Mo: "You don't have to give her money. Aying doesn't know anything, so just think of her as learning a craft."

"Yes, yes, let's do as Ah Zheng said." Liu Zheng's wife agreed. They knew better than anyone how valuable the sugar-making craft was, so how could they afford to pay for it?

Xia Mo frowned: "That won't do."

"What's wrong with that? Just don't complain that I'm clumsy. And don't worry, I will keep the matter of sugar-making to myself and won't tell anyone about it. Don't worry about it." Xiao Liu said.

Xia Mo: "It really won't work..."

"Oh, don't worry about it. We don't want the money anyway."

"That's right. I'm learning skills from you and asking you for money. Isn't that just taking advantage of you? Where will I put my face in the future..."

"That's right, Lingchuan, don't let him do what he wants..."

Liu Zheng and the other two were talking at the same time, not giving Xia Mo a chance to interrupt. He could only stare with his eyes open and move his mouth.

To be honest, Xia Mo didn't expect Liu Zheng to agree so quickly. Not only did he not question them, he also insisted that he didn't want any money and promised to keep it a secret!

Therefore, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything at all.

Although he did not think that teaching Xiao Liu how to make malt sugar was a big deal, and he did not think that teaching his apprentice would lead to starvation to death would happen to him, after all, he himself was a cheating tool.

Secondly, most of the people here are very simple and honest. Since he and Ze Ge'er have received their kindness, they might as well return the favor and achieve common prosperity.

Seeing that Xia Mo remained silent and Ling Chuan did not refute, Liu Zheng and the other two thought that they had convinced them.

But Xia Mo said, "Sister-in-law, just take what belongs to you. Sister Yingying and the others also distributed it in the same way. We can't be partial to one and ignore the other, right?"

"This..." Liu Zheng was speechless for a moment. He and his wife and daughter-in-law looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing that Liu Zheng was still hesitant, Ling Chuan, who had been sitting quietly and watching, spoke up at the right time: "Village Chief, it's not that I let Ze'er do what he wants. Since you are willing to participate, then the money for the raw materials for making sugar is paid by yourselves, so the money earned will naturally belong to you."

Ling Chuan spoke briefly and to the point, and his voice was as cold and low as usual. Under normal circumstances, it would always make Xia Mo's ears slightly numb, but that was obviously not the case at that time.

Xia Mo just let out an "ah", then touched his nose and smiled awkwardly at Liu Zheng and the others.

"Look at my brain. I was so excited that I forgot to explain this. Fortunately, Brother Ling reminded me in time... Grandpa, the village chief, do you have any objections to this? It's okay if you don't want to think about it anymore."

After all, spending money before earning any money is a bit like drawing a pie in the sky, and it is not very reliable if you look closely. Of course, they are reliable, Xia Mo complained inwardly.

Liu Zheng did not think much about it. He put away his serious expression and smiled lightly, his eyes were calm and composed, with wisdom from the vicissitudes of life.

"Don't talk about these things. Just take a share. I may be old, but my eyes and brain are still sharp. You two have even found a buyer for the candy. Aren't you a ready-made little god of wealth? There is no reason for us to send the god of wealth away."

Liu Zheng said it bluntly, and his wife giggled: "That's right, our family has always welcomed the God of Wealth."

The God of Wealth? Xia Mo glanced at Ling Chuan and suddenly smiled. Such a tall and strong, yet fierce yet cute God of Wealth is really... pleasing.

Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw through the young man's thoughts from his eyes at a glance, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Who isn't? Then let's just say it's settled."

As Xia Mo was speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he suddenly remembered the enthusiastic aunt who had stood up for him time and time again.

"By the way, is Aunt Huang here? Let her come too."

Liu Zheng and the other two, who were undecided, were suddenly interrupted by him and their attention was diverted in an instant.

"You are talking about Shuzhen. She went to the fields early in the morning, but her brother is at home." Liu Zheng's wife frowned.

Although this was a sure win for them, they couldn't just ask her brother to come over to discuss it. After all, it was something that required spending money first, so they had to explain it to the adults first.

Xiao Liu also knew this very well. She thought for a moment and said, "How about I go to the field now and call Auntie back?"

Liu Zheng thought what his daughter-in-law said was feasible, "Then Ah Ying, you go there, we'll wait at home..."

Seeing that her father-in-law agreed, Xiao Liu did not hesitate and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Xia Mo.

"Wait a minute, little sister-in-law."

"Hmm?" Xiao Liu paused and lowered her head, and looked at him together with Liu Zheng and the others, thinking that he had something else to say.

"Auntie will be back at noon, right? You can just ask her for me then. You don't have to make an extra trip. If Auntie is willing, let her come to my house with you in the afternoon. I have already made an appointment with Sister Yingying and the others."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu glanced outside and said hesitantly, "But it's still a long time before noon."

"No rush. This involves money. It would be better for us to sit down and discuss it in detail. This way it would be easier to assign tasks." Xia Mo explained.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Very good. I'll ask Shuzhen when she comes back."

"Well, then I'll trouble the village chief." Xia Mo's starry eyes curved, she turned her head to look at Ling Chuan, then smiled brightly.

It's great that they are one step closer to their plan.

However, after hearing what he said, Liu Zheng's wife frowned and glared at him, half jokingly saying with a hint of insignificant blame, "Really? You're still being polite to grandma. If you keep doing this, we'll regret it."

"Oh! No, no, no, no, grandma, I'm used to speaking my mind, please don't regret it." Xia Mo pouted his lips, and suddenly he felt like acting, and his eyes became lively.

"That's right, we don't like their tricks." Liu Zheng's wife smiled, and her eyes were squeezed into her wrinkles along with the smile.

The old man's amiable smile was very contagious, and Xia Mo also chuckled. After he had laughed enough, he began to talk briefly about the market for maltose. Although he did not mention about building a sugar factory, the benefits he mentioned were enough to make Liu Zheng and the other two excited and their breathing became heavier.

Xia Mo's words clearly meant to tell Liu Zheng and the others that if they learned the sugar-making technique, they would have no worries about making money in the future!

For a moment, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zheng felt that they should not accept the money. Just pay it, after all, their daughter-in-law knew nothing. Even Xiao Liu herself thought so, but this was just their wishful thinking.

Xia Mo and Ling Chuan chatted for a long time at Liu Zheng's house. When they were about to leave, Liu Zheng's wife warmly asked them to stay and have lunch before leaving. But they smiled and politely declined.

From the beginning to the end, they did not mention the incident of Yu coming to frame Liu Zheng, but there is no wall that is impenetrable, and even if the two of them did not say it, Yu's greedy appearance was still spread out in vivid detail.

In the end, those unbearable words still reached Liu Zheng's ears. Liu Zheng's face immediately turned black and he kept cursing, saying it was outrageous. His wife was so angry that she laughed.
