Chapter 110 Who are you cheating again?
Li Mulan looked at the shopkeeper Xu with great interest, "Does the shopkeeper have a grudge against Mr. Xue?"
When Shopkeeper Xu looked at Li Mulan, his expression immediately became friendly again. "We don't have a big grudge, but we are all doing business in Longhu City. The Xue family is the only one in the business. For a small shop like ours, we will suffer some losses and be humiliated. This time, it just happened to be his..."
Li Mulan smiled, "Haha, but Manager Xu is so sensible and reasonable, he should be able to handle it."
"Hehe, hehe, it's not bad, it's not bad."
Huo Yuanruo didn't like the merchants' flattery. Although his family was also engaged in business, his elder brother would not be so flattering. "You are really good as a shopkeeper. Every time something goes wrong, you disappear. You hide faster than anyone else."
Shopkeeper Xu laughed dryly twice, "Well... well, would you like to take another look, young lady?"
Li Fu and the others lost interest after being interrupted like this, and hurriedly spoke up to stop them, "Sister Lan, forget it, it's getting late, shall we go back and have lunch?"
Li Mulan nodded, "Okay, boss, pack up all the things for me and send them to the inn where we are staying. You know the address."
Shopkeeper Xu nodded and bowed and said yes repeatedly.
Li Lian was following Li Fu cautiously at this moment. Li Mulan was worried that she was scared, so she went forward and picked her up, "Lian'er, are you scared?"
Li Lian nodded first, then shook her head, "I was afraid at first, but not anymore." Then she smiled shyly, "That sister and brother Yuan Ruo are both so powerful. They will protect us."
Li Mulan pinched the little girl's nose and said, "Our Lian'er is really amazing and courageous. Let's go to eat. What would Lian'er like to eat?"
The little girl answered seriously, "I want to eat rice and eggs, is that ok?"
When these words were spoken, the people around him felt distressed.
Huo Yuanruo particularly liked this girl and stepped forward to snatch her from Li Mulan. "Lian'er, you can eat whatever you want. There are not only rice and eggs, but also roast duck, chicken soup, Buddha jumps over the wall, mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp... There are so many things to eat. Brother Yuanruo will order them all for you later."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes were full of excitement and she swallowed unconsciously. Many of these dishes were ones she had never heard of before. They must be delicious.
Huo Yuanruo laughed, "Of course." Then he said to Li Mulan and the others, "Master Junior, I'll take you to a restaurant. The food is delicious. Let's go."
Li Xi was the first to follow, and the two of them vied with each other to tease the little girl, and they were very happy.
Li Fu and Li Rong looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Li Mulan held the two of them in each hand, "Okay, let's go have lunch together. Yuanyuan is the best at eating, if he says it's delicious, then it must be delicious, let's go and try it too."
Then they left, and when they returned to the inn, it was almost 3 p.m.
As soon as she returned to the inn, Li Mulan saw two familiar faces, "Uncle Zhang, Little Grasshopper?"
Everyone has seen Zhang Yi. The other boy, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, was a stranger. He had a baby face and very bright eyes. He looked very energetic and vigorous.
When the boy named Little Grasshopper saw Li Mulan, he rushed forward excitedly. When he was about to bump into Li Mulan, a strong hand grabbed his collar.
"How can you be so reckless, you almost bumped into Junior Master Uncle."
The little grasshopper twisted in Huo Yuanruo's hand, "Oh, Brother Yuanyuan, please let go, I won't hit the master." Then he looked at Li Mulan for help, "Master, master, look, Brother Yuanyuan is bullying me again!"
Huo Yuanruo put his other hand on the back of his head and said, "How many times have I told you not to call me Brother Yuanyuan? Only Junior Master Uncle can call me Yuanyuan."
The little grasshopper was rather small and skinny, and was no match for Huo Yuanruo at all. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free, and he started to get angry, "Anyway, I'll just follow my master and call him, Brother Yuanyuan, Brother Yuanyuan..."
Huo Yuanruo took the man aside with disgust. He was so annoyed. This brat was still as annoying as ever.
Li Fu and the others were worried that Li Mulan had something important to do, so they said hello and left.
Li Mulan looked at Huo Yuanruo and Little Grasshopper making a fuss and didn't want to pay any attention to them, so she went straight to talking about business with Zhang Yi.
"Why is Uncle Zhang two days late? Is there something else?"
Zhang Yi smiled, "It's not a big deal. Long Yi came over, so it delayed us a bit. Little Grasshopper happened to say he had something to talk to you about, so I brought him along."
Li Mulan's eyes showed some joy, "Long Yi is here, where are the others?"
"He just went out and said he would be back soon." Then he glanced at Qingyu, but didn't say much.
At this time, Li Yi and Li Xun came over.
"Lan'er. I heard that you have friends coming over?"
Li Mulan turned to look at the two of them, "Dad, Second Uncle, it's not someone else, it's Uncle Zhang."
"And me, and me." The little grasshopper was afraid that Li Mulan would forget him, so he tried hard to find a sense of existence. He knew that these people were his master's family members, so why did he follow Uncle Zhang so shamelessly? Wasn't it just to pay respect to his master's family members?
Li Mulan was helpless, "This is Little Grasshopper, they are my people." Then she looked at Little Grasshopper and introduced him, "This is my father and second uncle."
The little grasshopper knelt down in front of the two men and kowtowed several times. "Hello, great master. My name is Li Kang'an, nicknamed Little Grasshopper. I am lucky to be taken in by the master. The master is kind-hearted. Seeing that the little grasshopper has no father or mother and doesn't even have a name, he allowed me to have the same surname as her, Li, and named me Kang'an. I don't have any talent, but I am smart and help the master with some small business. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know. I have the master's surname, so I am also half a Li family member."
Li Yi and Li Xun were confused by the little grasshopper's actions and were unable to react for a while.
Huo Yuanruo curled his lips and said, "Tsk, you little flatterer."
Li Xi had a good impression of the new boy and whispered something to Huo Yuanruo.
After Li Yi realized what was happening, he immediately helped the person up, "Okay, okay, Lan'er's people are naturally my Li family." Then he smiled at Li Xun and said, "This child has clear eyes and looks smart."
Li Xun smiled and nodded, "Our Lan'er has good taste."
Li Mulan felt a little uncomfortable. "I rescued Little Grasshopper when I was nine years old. He has been with me and helped me since then." Then she looked at Little Grasshopper and said, "Why are you here instead of staying in Jiangnan?"
The little grasshopper looked at Li Mulan with pride, "I'm here to give money to the master. I guess the master's money should be almost used up, right?"
Hehehe, he had asked Uncle Zhang a long time ago. He had just taken a large sum of money from his master, and his master must be poor now.
Li Mulan felt a little jealous when she saw his smug look, "Who said that? I still have a lot." Afraid that he didn't believe her, she immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes from her small cloth bag.
The little grasshopper's eyes widened in disbelief, "Where did the master get the money? Who did you cheat again?"
