Chapter 236 Let’s go and move to another place!
Wu Yan looked at her and saw that several beggars had already swiftly opened their food boxes, which contained delicious food. The beggars cheered and took down a tray, which contained a whole chicken, a whole plate of fish, and two pots of wine.
Wu Yan tore a chicken leg in his hand without any hesitation. He held a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine jug in his right hand. He took a bite and drank a sip, feeling very comfortable.
Then he looked at Meng Yu with a slanted look: "I have meat to eat, wine to drink, and I can do whatever I want. Isn't this a good life? What else do I need to plan?"
"Uncle Wu, do you want to go somewhere else to drink and eat meat?"
"You little girl, you speak so maturely. I almost doubt whether you are six years old."
"Of course I'm not six years old. My birthday has long passed. I'm seven now!"
Wu Yan rolled his eyes and snorted, "Where to change to?"
"For example, the capital city!"
Wu Yan laughed: "Little girl, have you ever been to the capital? Can the capital tolerate beggars? That is under the feet of the emperor."
“I don’t know if beggars can be tolerated, but what I want to say is that you could have lived better in the past than here.”
A beggar was eating a fish and said incoherently: "You don't understand this, right? Small places have their own advantages. The capital is prosperous and attractive, but there are many bad people!"
"Of course, it's just a waste of time. Living in the capital city is risky. It's better to live in a small place and live in peace!"
"Yes, there is no Little Meng Yu in the capital, so we may not be able to drink and eat meat if we go there."
Wu Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at Meng Yu with a smile.
Meng Yu seemed to be just saying it casually. Seeing that they didn't mean it, he stopped talking and turned to ask, "Uncle Wu, what do you want to eat next time? I'll bring it to you again."
"Any food is fine, but can you give me more wine?"
"can!"
Meng Yu played for a while, listening to a few beggars bragging and talking about their experiences. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, she stood up and said, "I'll go back first. Next time I'll bring more wine for the uncles!"
"Go ahead!" Wu Yan wiped his body casually, took something out of his arms and threw it over: "Take it and play with it!"
Meng Yu took it and saw that it was a jade pendant of excellent quality, with good carving. The complicated and delicate carving alone was worth a lot of money. She couldn't help but look over, but Wu Yan looked nonchalant, as if he gave her not a valuable jade pendant, but a small stone that no one wanted.
She said: "Uncle Wu, this jade pendant..."
Wu Yan shook the chicken drumstick in his hand: "It's not valuable, just a small thing!"
Meng Yu knew that he was not telling the truth, but Uncle Wu must have a deep meaning behind his actions. She also smiled freely: "Thank you, Uncle Wu!"
After Meng Yu left, Wu Yan got up from the ground and gently kicked the beggars: "Let's go, move to another place!"
"Where to move to?"
"Capital!"
Several beggars looked at each other in bewilderment: "Sir, are you serious? Don't you want to never return to the capital again?"
"Now I want to go back again, can I?"
"Of course! We'll go pack it up right away!" Several beggars showed joy on their faces. Being a beggar is actually tiring, right? They also miss their families in Beijing!
Time flies, five years have passed.
A lot of things happened in Shang State in these five years.
During this period, Zhao Susu and Meng Yu experienced several assassination attempts, but none of the assassins returned.
Zhao Susu was diligent, had vision, and acted steadily, and her business grew bigger and bigger.
Two years ago, her business expanded to Beijing.
Yang Zuoxian also tried to show his goodwill many times, but of course, Zhao Susu just laughed it off.
She really had never thought about getting married again.
Meng Yu's change was even greater. She had grown a lot taller. At the age of twelve, she already had the figure of a graceful young lady.
Of course, the bigger change is that she has become a master of medicine and martial arts.
Now, no matter how long I stay in the small dark room, when I return to reality, time has not changed.
She established a gang called Fengxing, which collected information from all over the world. Two years ago, it became a first-rate gang in the underworld.
Yan Qin's illness was cured.
Of course, the engagement between Yan Qin and Cao Shuqing fell through.
Originally, the Yan couple were optimistic about Cao Shuqing, but Li often said some nonsense, and some of Cao Shuqing's attitudes also made them suspicious. They just wanted to wait for some time.
But Yan Qin suddenly quit.
She no longer saw Cao Shuqing.
As for the reason, it was of course that the little girl suddenly discovered that her initial acquaintance and her selfless rescue were actually fake.
Under Meng Yu's instructions, those gangsters went to Cao Shuqing to ask for hush money. Each time they asked for an amount that Cao Shuqing could afford but was reluctant to pay.
I asked for it once, twice, and again and again.
Cao Shuqing was extremely angry, but he dared not refuse. Finally, he could no longer bear it and had a big quarrel with them.
But he didn't know that at the entrance of the alley not far away, Yan Qin and Meng Yu were standing there quietly, hearing everything clearly. Yan Qin originally viewed Cao Shuqing as her savior, and even though Li's words and deeds later made her unhappy, she even wanted to tolerate it.
But everything in front of her almost broke her down.
When Cao Shuqing heard the noise and turned around, he was a little flustered when he saw Yan Qin.
He hurried over to explain, but Yan Qin didn't want to see him anymore.
She turned and ran, with Cao Shuqing chasing after her, so much so that he didn't even notice Meng Yu, who quietly jumped over the high wall of the alley when he turned his head.
After Yan Qin returned home, she burst into tears and locked herself in the room.
Mrs. Yan was furious after finding out the truth. If it was a plot from the beginning, how much sincerity was there in it? Was everything he did every time he came here also a disguise?
Yan Yongji was also very angry when he found out. They were in the business world and had some confidence in judging people, but now it seemed that they were being fooled by a little kid.
He was still thinking that no one is perfect, and since he had decided to provide financial support, he would wait until Cao Shuqing passed the imperial examination and then officially engage the two of them. What was the point of engaging them now!
Cao Shuqing never expected that this matter would be revealed, and he did not care about his dignity. After all, he had not yet achieved success and fame, and he really needed a scapegoat like the Yan family.
Unfortunately, kneeling is of no use.
Cao Shuqing would never see Yan Qin again. No matter how scheming he was, Yan Qin's heart, which was deeply deceived, was broken.
After Li knew the truth, she came to the Yan family's door and made trouble, which made Yan and his wife very angry.
They don't need to take Li's shrewish methods seriously.
They were furious and took immediate action.
The funding was stopped, the house was taken back, the monthly allowance was gone, and of course the fish and meat that were delivered every day, and the rice, flour, grain and oil that they had never had to worry about, were also gone.
Cao Shuqing had no choice but to use the only money he had to rent a shabby house.
Not only was it cramped, but it also leaked when it rained. For his daily living, he could only copy books to make money.
