Chapter 144: A family discusses business opportunities.
Wait! Mother, didn't you just say that Xia Rong was captured by the thief along with you? Was Xia Rong injured?
As Mu Long spoke, he gripped Yu Qin's arm tightly with one hand. Seeing her youngest son so anxious upon hearing that her beloved was in trouble, Yu Qin felt a strange sense of displeasure and disappointment.
Hehe! My good son, you seemed so indifferent when you heard I was kidnapped by the thief. But you looked so worried when you heard Xia Rong was kidnapped by the thief.
Mother, what do you mean by saying this now? Weren't you just talking to us so enthusiastically about your plan to infiltrate the enemy? But why do you look so unhappy now?
Haha! Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why is your IQ suddenly offline again? Of course Grandma is a little unhappy to see you worrying so much about another woman!
Upon hearing what Zhuzhu said, Muwang, who was standing next to Yuqin, quickly hugged his mother tightly.
Alright! My dear mother, you don't only have that brat Mu Long as your son! It's okay if he doesn't care about his mother, as long as I do, that's enough, isn't it?
By the way, Mother, now that there aren't many people around, could you show me the wound from the poisoned arrow?
Didn't I already tell you? My wound has already healed, so why bother going through all this trouble again?
Mother, are you just trying to comfort Mu Long and me? We all know that if someone is shot with an arrow, it takes a long time for the wound to heal. But you were only shot with a poisoned arrow yesterday! It's only been a day! How could the wound possibly have healed already?
Haha! You should ask your dear daughter Zhuzhu what kind of magical potion she used on her own grandmother.
Mother, I seem to remember you telling us at the Longsheng Hotel that Xia Rong put that magical medicine on your wound. How come it's now said that Zhuzhu put that magical medicine on your wound?
Heh! You're really playing dumb, aren't you? Don't think I don't know that the magical potion in Xia Rong's hand was given to her by you, right?
What? You gave the magic potion I gave you to your aunt?
Hmm! What's wrong? I feel like you're a little unhappy after you found out about this!
Uncle, the reason I gave you this miraculous potion was because I was afraid you might encounter some unknown danger. If you get injured in danger, you can use this potion I gave you. It will heal your wound very quickly!
Haha! When you gave me this magical potion, my first thought was to give it to your future aunt. Because I feel that as a man, it's no big deal for me to get a scar from a minor injury. But it's different for your aunt!
So you gave the medicine I gave you to my future aunt without hesitation?
Haha, of course your uncle will give any good things to your aunt! Even the medicine I gave you was given to your aunt.
No, Mother, I remember you gave the things to Rongzhen on the same day you gave them to me. How did they end up in Long'er's hands again?
Haha, you'll have to ask your good brother. That guy secretly slipped the jade bracelet into his pocket when you weren't looking.
Mother, it's not that I was worried you hadn't prepared a jade bracelet for my son. So I had to take my eldest sister-in-law's!
Haha, if you hadn't gotten me drunk that time, it would probably have been for this reason, right? I was wondering why you insisted on making me drink that day. Oh, so that's why.
You're really silly! My mother gave Nuannuan the jade bracelet a long time ago.
Not only that, her mother also prepared many beautiful clothes for her. She just never had the chance to give them to him! Don't you always ask me why I have so many girls' clothes in your closet?
That was made by your mother for Nuannuan! Your mother arranged a marriage for you when you were very young. Originally, she planned to hold a wedding for you when you grew up.
But unexpectedly, Nuannuan got lost during a trip. Over the years, your father and I have never given up searching for Nuannuan.
I just found out that the woman you love, Xia Rong, is actually Nuan Nuan, the girl we keep at home.
Upon hearing this news, Mu Long stood frozen in shock.
Only then did Mu Long remember the question Zhu Zhu had asked him, and he nodded to Zhu Zhu. "Your aunt is a very vain person; she cannot bear any scars on her face or body."
Therefore, I think it would be most appropriate to give her this magical potion that you gave me. Besides, even if I wanted this magical potion again, I could just ask you, my beautiful little fairy, for help, wouldn't I?
Haha! Uncle, you're really dreaming! If I told you this magical potion is incredibly difficult to obtain, would you have given the bottle of magical potion I gave you to Auntie?
Yuqin panicked a little after hearing Zhuzhu's words, because she had wanted to ask Zhuzhu if she had any more of this magical potion. She wanted to use it to develop a face cream that could be applied to the face and quickly remove scars.
Grandma, why are you spacing out? Is there something you want to tell us?
As Zhuzhu spoke, she gently shook Yuqin's arm with both hands.
It's nothing! I just wanted to ask you for more of that magical potion! But when I heard you say that the magical potion was very rare, I gave up the idea.
Grandma, why did you suddenly ask me for this magical potion? Are you injured somewhere? Perhaps we should all go back to the Longsheng Hotel first, instead of staying in this cave forever. Because if we stay in this cave, the air inside will become increasingly scarce.
By the way! Elder brother, were you injured by any hidden weapons when you entered the cave? I was afraid someone would find out we had put some fine wine in this cave. So, we set up traps in every cave where we put the wine?
Oh! Uncle, did you put some poisonous gas in this cave? Do you know that the poisonous gas you released almost killed us!
Hehe! Then why are all of you little bundles of joy standing right in front of me? Did your amazing father manage to break all the traps your uncle set up?
Uncle, besides smelling the toxic gas, we don't know anything else about the mechanism.
That's strange! I've set up so many mechanisms in this cave! If all the mechanisms in this cave break down, we'll have to take some time to redesign this cave.
Uncle, don't you think it's very unsafe to put some goods in the cave? As you know, it rains a lot in our hometown. If there are five or six consecutive days of torrential rain, then natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides are very likely to occur.
If the natural disaster I mentioned above were to occur, all the fine wines we make would be destroyed.
Yes, yes, yes! The question Zhuzhu raised is something you two brothers needed to consider when choosing a location for the warehouse.
Mother, do you know? Back then, in order to find a good place to build our warehouse on Longsheng Street, I searched for countless places but couldn't find a suitable location.
Haha! Uncle, have you ever thought about renting a few rooms from some ordinary people in the nearby villages that they don't usually use?
I did what you said a long time ago, but some unscrupulous people found out about it.
They would sneak into the house of this family, whose store was filled with our goods on Shenglong Street, under the cover of darkness to steal. They not only stole our goods, but also took all the valuables from the house.
Over time, no one dared to rent out their spare rooms to us!
