A car accident, our family of three crossed

After Manager Wan left angrily, Shuisheng immediately found Hang Shuheng and told him about the incident. He said with some concern, "Manager Wan can't buy the blueprints from us. Will he hold a grudge against us?"

Hang Shuheng had never met the other party, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion. He just told Shuisheng not to worry too much and to just do what he had to do.

Besides, after Manager Wan left, he felt something was not right. He still didn't believe Shuisheng's claim that he didn't have the blueprints.

Could it be that the other party was unwilling to sell it to him? Or was it that he was a little late? Someone had already bought the blueprint first? The only family in this county that could compete with the Wan family was the Zhang family.

When he thought of this possibility, Manager Wan felt very anxious and uncomfortable. He turned back just after leaving the village. He had to get to the bottom of this matter first.

However, when he returned, the man was not at home, and a half-grown child opened the door for them.

"Are you looking for my elder brother?" Mudun asked.

"Yes! Little brother, where is your elder brother?"

Mudun shook his head and said, "I don't know." He came back from playing outside and didn't see his elder brother.

"Uncle wants to ask you something..."

Manager Wan couldn't find Shuisheng, so he turned to Mudun for information. He had a smile on his face, thinking that children were simple-minded and might be more likely to find out something.

"Has anyone come to see your elder brother in the past few days?"

Mu Dun shook his head, and Manager Wan felt relieved. He asked again, "Then do you know what drawings your eldest brother uses for his work?"

"Drawings? What drawings?"

"These are the drawings your elder brother needs to look at when he does his work." Manager Wan took out two copper coins and said, "Just tell your uncle, and these two coins are yours."

If it were other children, they might be tempted to see the copper coins, but Mudun would not, because he is now a man with some assets.

This time when the eldest brother came back from the market to settle the accounts, Uncle Hengzi gave him and Yangyang some copper coins. Adding them up, he had more than thirty copper coins. These mere two copper coins were not enough to make him betray his eldest brother.

"There are no blueprints. I have never seen the eldest brother look at blueprints."

"No blueprints?"

Manager Wan carefully examined Mudun's expression and saw that he looked serious and did not seem to be lying. He wondered if he was overly suspicious and perhaps there really were no blueprints.

Afterwards, Manager Wan asked people in the village to inquire whether anyone had come to see Shuisheng recently. The answer he got was the same as what Mudun said. He could only put his mind at ease for the time being and leave Shangtang Village with his people.

When he left, he was reluctant to give the two copper coins to Mudun.

Mudun stayed at home for a while and was about to go out to find Shuisheng when he came back.

"Brother, you are back."

He told Shuisheng that someone came to inquire about the news. After listening to his description, Shuisheng knew that it was Manager Wan who had returned. It seemed that Manager Wan was still unwilling to accept that he did not buy the drawings. Shuisheng felt uneasy.

But thinking of Mu Dun's response, he couldn't help but praise him: "Well done. Don't tell others about our family's affairs in the future."

Mu Dun raised his head proudly and said, "That's right, I'm not stupid."

"Brat, I'll give you what you can." Shuisheng smiled and patted his head.

The village is not very big, and if something happens in someone's family, everyone will know about it within half a day.

In just half a day, after the aunt who led Manager Wan spread the word, the whole village was spreading the news that a wealthy family from the city was looking for Shuisheng to do business, and the news was spread with great detail.

So when Shuisheng carried the newly made chair to the old patriarch's house, many people followed him to greet him. One reason was to inquire about the authenticity of the news, and the other was because they were curious about this chair that could be sold for ten taels of silver, and wanted to follow him to the old patriarch's house to take a look at it.

Shuisheng expressed helplessness about the rumors about him in the village. He repeatedly stated that he did not do business with people from the city and asked everyone not to make blind guesses.

When they arrived at the old patriarch's house, so many people suddenly came, and the old patriarch thought something had happened in the village again.

The person walking in front had an envious look on his face and said to the old patriarch happily: "Uncle, you are so lucky in your old age. Shuisheng is here to pay his respects to you."

"What the hell is going on?"

Amid the puzzled gazes of the old patriarch and the envious eyes of the crowd, Shuisheng walked in carrying a chair, and Mudun followed behind with two jars of wine.

"This is?"

The old patriarch still didn't understand the situation, and the people who came over to watch the fun kindly helped him to clear up the confusion.

"Uncle, didn't you see? Shuisheng made a chair and brought it to you. Look, isn't that it? And Mudun, did you see that? He brought you some wine!"

"Uncle, this is all due to your good fortune. The two children's parents passed away early, and you treated them well. They remember you in their hearts! So, they come to honor you."

Everyone praised him in various ways, making the old patriarch very happy. Shuisheng put down his chair and he couldn't wait to go up and look at it again and again.

"Grandfather, I'm not very smart, I don't have any special skills, I just have strength and some craftsmanship." He scratched his hair and said honestly, "Please don't be angry with me for telling you this, it was Uncle Hengzi who reminded me that I wanted to make a chair for you."

It turned out that there was an expert guiding them behind the scenes. As a result, everyone had one more person to praise, and they kept saying that all the young people in the Hang family were very promising.

"Good, good, good!" The old patriarch was very happy and said "good" three times in a row.

"Uncle, the chair has been delivered to you. Go and try sitting on it. Let's see what's so different about this chair that costs ten taels of silver in the county. I heard that the chair can rock!"

Under the instigation of everyone, the old patriarch finally sat on the chair with the help of Shuisheng.

"Grandfather, be careful. Put your hands here... put your feet here..."

Shuisheng patiently taught the old patriarch the things to pay attention to and the skills, which were not complicated. The old patriarch quickly mastered them all and sat back in a rocking chair, leisurely smoking his pipe.

The people on the side flattered him and said, "Uncle! When you sit on that chair, you look like an old man from a rich family in the city. People are so envious!"

"The young men in your old Hang family are all promising. You will have great fortune in the future."

Although it was mostly flattery, the old patriarch felt very happy listening to it.

Shuisheng could sell a chair for ten taels of silver in the county, but he gave him one without blinking an eye. This not only made him feel gratified, but also made him look very proud. Of course, he would not refuse the children's kindness.

Even though this child is not good at the ways of the world, he has Hang Shuheng by his side to guide him. They complement each other and will surely have a bright future. It's really not in vain that he loves these children so much.

A group of people were having a blast at the old patriarch's house, enjoying the view. Some of them were even shameless enough to sit there for a while, and they were quite satisfied.

It was not until almost dinner time that everyone dispersed, and the Shuisheng brothers were left behind to eat.

After eating and drinking, when saying goodbye to the old patriarch and his family, the old patriarch said earnestly: "Your uncle Hengzi is a capable man. You can learn a lot from him if you follow him more in the future."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't have to worry about it."

"Well! You guys should go back. It's getting late."
