Chapter 367: Pocket Money

"Let's eat, old thing."

Lian Ye carried the prepared dishes to the table, and Qianshou Feijian had already pulled a chair and sat down, waiting for the food to be served.

He knew that this old fellow hadn't tasted his cooking in a long time, so he specially prepared a whole table of delicacies for him.

Qianshou Feijian looked at the table brimming with foods he loved, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Sure enough, only this kid's dishes could whet his appetite.

"Uncle Lianye, I heard you've returned?"

Just as the two were about to eat, a shout from Gangshou echoed from the courtyard.

Qianshou Feijian's chopsticks, which he was reaching out with, suddenly halted, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Gangshou, that girl!

In the past few months, the times she's visited him have been countable on the fingers.

So when Lian Ye just returned to the village, Gangshou bounced over immediately.

The three of them entered the room.

Seeing the table of delicacies, they couldn't help but swallow saliva.

Hmm, it's meal time, what a coincidence.

Looks like they're about to eat again?

Whether the three purposely show up at meal time is unknown.

"Lian Ye Teacher, Second Generation Great Person." Orochimaru's gaze swept over the food on the table, then landed on the two people seated before it.

Zilaoye, seeing this, wiped the drool from his mouth corner and hurriedly greeted in Orochimaru's manner.

Just thinking about the delicacies, he almost forgot to greet the two.

That was truly rude.

"Hmm." Qianshou Feijian replied blandly.

No need to guess; it's obvious.

Gangshou, knowing Lian Ye had returned to the village and that it was Horse meal time, brought the two over to mooch a meal.

Fine, say less, eat more.

Thinking that, he began to continuously pick up and eat dishes.

These foods were all specially prepared by Lian Ye for himself…

He should eat more; he can't be too cheap on the three of them.

"Uncle Lianye, you made so many dishes; you shouldn't be able to finish them, right?" Gangshou's hint was obvious.

Since they can't finish them, they can take over.

"Alright, go get bowls and chopsticks yourself from the kitchen."

Lian Ye gave Gangshou a white glance; it wasn't that he wouldn't let them eat.

He didn't know about the others here, but the food would certainly be enough…

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Lianye." Gangshou cheerfully headed to the kitchen.

"Thank you, Lian Ye Teacher." Orochimaru and Zilaoye said as they followed.

"That girl has no respect for elders…" Qianshou Feijian muttered softly.

Gangshou greeted Lian Ye, but didn't greet him.

Day after day, he only thought about eating.

Lian Ye felt a bit helpless; even at his age, people still fuss over such matters.

One can only say that as people age, their concerns become odd.

"Lian Ye Teacher's cooking is as delicious as always!" Zilaoye praised while eating.

Since Lian Ye left, he could only sneak peeks at the women's bathhouse each day, never having tasted such tasty food again.

"If you like it, have more," Lian Ye said with a smile.

"Hmm, I know!" Zilaoye kept scooping dishes into his own bowl.

Qianshou Feijian, seeing this, his eyelids flickered wildly, hurriedly also scooped food into his own bowl.

Lian Ye's disciple is really not polite!

No, these dishes are food prepared for himself.

They can't all be eaten by Zilaoye.

At least wait for the person himself to get full first!

Orochimaru watched this scene with a strange expression.

The more he watched, the more he felt Second Generation Great Person seemed to be—

guarding the food.

Orochimaru immediately averted his gaze, ate by himself, pretending he hadn't seen.

Hmm, an illusion, it must be an illusion!

"Second Grandfather, why haven't I seen you go out lately?" Gangshou said, "When you have time, go out more, don't just stay at home."

Usually carefree Gangshou unusually took the trouble to care about Second Grandfather.

"Are you trying to ask me for money again?" Qianshou Feijian instantly understood Gangshou's intention, "Speak up, how much do you want?"

As long as Gangshou shows filial behavior, there's no doubt she's short of money.

At first he was pleased that the girl had grown up, but the next sentence was asking him for pocket money.

After a long time, one knows the granddaughter's nature.

Although she likes to mess around, she has her own limits; overall, her behavior is fairly acceptable.

Qianshou Feijian has always dote【d】 on Gangshou and Shengshu, and for any request they make, as long as it isn't excessive, he can generally satisfy it.

"Hehe, I knew Second Grandfather treats me the best!" Gangshou laughed.

"Not much, just 5,000,000 taels!"

Zilaoye and Orochimaru exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

Gangshou is too bold, right?

She asks for 5,000,000 taels right off the bat!

The two couldn't help but look at Qianshou Feijian, unsure whether he would agree to Gangshou's request.

Qianshou Feijian and Lian Ye were startled by Gangshou's outrageous demand.

Before Qianshou Feijian could speak, Lian Ye pretended to be clueless while actually understanding.

"What do you need that much money for?"

Gangshou, that girl, has only one hobby: going to the casino to lose money.

No need to guess, it's obvious—she wants the money to spend at the casino.

The first thing she does with money is go to the casino.

This is just like Uncle Hashirama; when he has money, he often visits the casino until he loses all his cash.

Gangshou is the same.

No, at least her grandfather wouldn't be in massive gambling debt…

No wonder she's Hashirama's granddaughter he raised from childhood!

"Uncle Lianye, I obviously want the money to spend it," Gangshou said, her face not blushing and heart not racing.

"I think she's taking it to gamble at the casino," Qianshou Feijian mercilessly exposed her lie.

"Second Grandfather, how could that be?" Gangshou asked, her tone a bit unnatural.

"I don't have 5,000,000 taels, but I have 50,000 taels here," Qianshou Feijian said, holding several silver notes worth 10,000 each, "consider it your living expenses."

"Second Grandfather, that's too little, isn't it?" Gangshou complained, but still took the silver notes and slipped them into her pocket.

Even a mosquito is still meat.

She cast an expectant gaze at Lian Ye, cooing, "Uncle Lianye, aren't you going to give your cute niece a bit of living expenses?"

"Eh—"

Zilaoye, hearing that coquettish tone, felt goosebumps all over his body instantly and couldn't help but utter a contemptuous remark.

Gangshou glared at him fiercely, then continued to act pitiful.

Orochimaru once told her that Uncle Lianye is the village's great tycoon, whose total assets amount to a terrifying fortune.

Just how terrifying?

In other words, if this money were left to Gangshou for gambling at the casino, she could lose it for ten lifetimes and never finish!

Two gold pieces accidentally fell from Lian Ye's body, enough for her to gamble at the casino for a while.

Facing Gangshou's pleading gaze, Lian Ye smiled and agreed.

"Alright, here's some living expenses for you."

Come to think of it, he seems never to have given Gangshou any living expenses before.

Lian Ye pulled a thick stack of banknotes from the Storage Scroll, amounting to at least 1,000,000 taels!

Gangshou's eyes lit up the instant she saw the banknotes.

No wonder he's Konoha's number-one tycoon, he's literally dripping with wealth!

In the end, Gangshou finally received the pocket money Uncle Lianye gave her as she had hoped.

A total of 1,000,000 taels.
