"Your grandpa said he wanted to sell the fish in here?"

Mu Shaochen narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy on the other side with a cold gaze.

The boy nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face, "Yes, can't you?"

"Then do you know that your grandfather is working for others, which means the fish here are not from your family?"

Mu Shaochen raised his eyebrows and asked.

The boy's bright black eyes suddenly widened, and he puffed up his cheeks angrily, "These fish were raised by my grandfather, why do you say they are not mine?"

He saw with his own eyes his grandfather bringing fish fry to this pond, feeding them with fish food every day, and watching them grow up little by little.

I heard grandpa say that if he sells these fish, he can go to school.

In his heart, he has long regarded this fish pond as his own, and the fish in it have become his hope for going to school.

Why did that good-looking uncle say these fish were not theirs when he came?

"I don't have the final say on this issue. Why don't you ask your grandpa?"

Mu Shaochen put the fishing net into the pond and easily caught a bass weighing about two kilograms.

Before coming, he planned to make fried fish.

After seeing the seabass online, I changed my mind and planned to make a steamed seabass.

Sea bass is delicious and has few spines, making it less likely to get stuck in the throat.

"Bad guy, don't catch our fish!"

Seeing Mu Shaochen talking to him and already netting a fish, the little boy's eyes turned red.

He bent down and picked up a handful of broken soil and threw it towards the other side.

But broken soil doesn't weigh much, and other people's strength is even smaller.

Only part of the broken soil fell into the fish pond, and some was blown back by the rising wind and fell into the eyes.

The boy was so hurt that he threw away the small fishing net in his hand and went to rub his eyes. While rubbing, he cried loudly, "It hurts so much, Grandpa, Hao'er's eyes hurt so much. Grandpa, there are bad people bullying Hao'er, wow wow wow wow..."

He cried miserably.

Not long after, a man in his fifties or sixties ran out from a mobile home not far away, holding a harpoon in his hand.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid, Hao'er, grandpa is here."

The man was running and shouting, all he could see was his crying grandson. He didn't even notice Shi Ning and Mu Shaochen on the other side.

It wasn't until the little boy's eyes stopped hurting so much and he choked out that bad guys were coming to steal their fish that he noticed Mu Shaochen and Shi Ning on the other side.

When he saw the two of them, his face turned pale, he stood up and bowed respectfully to them, smiling, "Mr. Mu, Madam CEO, children are talking nonsense, you two don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he tried his best to suppress the dirty boy next to him and apologize to the two of them, "Haoer, quickly apologize to these two nobles."

"I don't! They robbed our fish, why should we apologize?"

The child had a stubborn temper, and his grandfather forced him to apologize, which aroused his rebellious mentality and refused to bow his head.

"Because this fish pond belongs to them, because these fish belong to them, because we are a pauper! You melon boy, you dare to do anything."

The old man was afraid that Mu Shaochen and Shi Ning would be angry, so he was so angry and anxious that he slapped the boy on the face.

The boy was suddenly slapped on the side of the face by his grandfather. He raised his little face that was stained with tears and stopped crying in disbelief.

After a while, a louder cry broke out, "Bad grandpa, Hao'er will never pay attention to you again!"

After shouting, he ran towards the outside of the manor without looking back.

The old man was distraught, regretful and anxious.

He wanted to catch up, but he was worried that if Mu Shaochen couldn't explain clearly, he might lose his job directly, and he didn't dare to leave.

"I remember that the fish fry here were put in when I completed the manor seven years ago."

Mu Shaochen looked down at the bass in his net bag, thoughtfully.

The old man was sweating profusely, "Yes, yes."

"This bass has only grown less than two kilograms in seven years."

Mu Shaochen chuckled.

Interrupting the old man's explanation, he asked quietly, "I should have told the steward yesterday that no one will be allowed in the manor starting today."

"I, I asked for leave yesterday. I didn't want to starve the fish, so I just wanted to come back and spread some fish food before leaving. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Mr. Mu and you two, and the melon boy bumped into you two."

The old man was sweating profusely, knowing that he might be doomed this time.

I regretted so much why I didn't leave immediately after scattering the fish food.

I regret even more why I brought my grandson here today.

But there is no one he can trust in his family, and he would be even more worried if he left his grandson at home...

"Old man, go and look after the child quickly. Don't let him get lost."

Shi Ning spoke and asked the old man to chase his grandson quickly.

Although the manor is located in the countryside, it is not without its dangers.

The child looked to be three or four years old at most, but it would be best if nothing happened to him.

"Thank you, President, thank you, Madam President."

The old man was worried about his grandson.

Seeing that Mu Shaochen had no intention of dealing with him, and hearing what Shi Ning said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and strode away.

"Let's go, I'll make you steamed sea bass today."

Seeing that Shi Ning was still looking at the direction the old man was leaving, Mu Shaochen carried the seabass in his net bag, held her hand with one hand, and walked towards the kitchen not far away.

It was as if this little episode had no impact on him.

Shi Ning followed him for a few steps, and didn't look back until he walked out of the fish pond area.

Of course, the grandfather and grandson were not seen.

“Would you fire that person?”

She thought about it and asked curiously.

Mu Shaochen looked back at her, then turned to look ahead, with a calm expression on his face, and his calm tone was no different from when he said he was making steamed seabass today, "Yes."

He regards the fish pond in the manor as his own home. In seven years, the high-quality fish fry he originally carefully selected in it may have become banknotes in his hands.

In this fish pond that belongs to him, batch after batch of fish are raised, becoming other people's commodities and goods.

This is dereliction of duty and a violation of his personal property.

Not pursuing it was already his greatest kindness.

"You haven't thought about what if he has any difficulties?"

Shi Ning frowned.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she was always more compassionate than before.

Thinking of the honest-faced man and the dirty-looking child with clear eyes, I couldn't bear to think of the predicament they might face because of losing this job.

The boy also said before that he could only go to school after selling this batch of fish.

"No matter what the reason, it is a fact that I have enriched my own pockets. I neglected the management of this manor before, and I didn't know that this would happen. Or I knew it, but I didn't care. After all, the fish pond is empty, and the fruits in the orchard are empty. It's gone. It's understandable that the employees here really took part of it for their own use or sold it. It should be given to them as bonuses. But there is no longer a single fish I put in in the fish pond, and the entire fish The pond has been treated as their family’s private property, which is intolerable.”
