Chapter 301

People in the little tavern, hearing that Fan Fan Jinyou had gotten into trouble eating chives, all focused their eyes on Old Wang, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"Hahaha, that's the ridiculous part."

"Fan Fan Jinyou went home after eating the Jade Chives, felt too hot, couldn't take it anymore, so he ran out and stood in the heavy rain for a full three hours."

"The managing elder of their courtyard was afraid something would happen to him and wanted to take him to the hospital; he only told the truth when he was forced—that it was from eating chives."

Old Wang whetted everyone's appetite.

"No!"

"Last night, I ate chives just like Fan Fan Jinyou, but I only felt warm all over, very comfortable; where was the heat I couldn't take?"

Old Man Sun shook his head.

Old Li also indicated that he was the same as Old Man Sun, just feeling warm all over.

"You two each ate one ounce, but Fan Fan Jinyou finished off a whole catty—that's ten times what you two ate; can the feeling be the same?"

Old Wang asked back.

Everyone nodded.

Jade Chives became completely popular.

Fan Fan Jinyou also became famous.

Over the next two days, many restaurants came to buy them, and the chives were snatched up as soon as they were harvested; some people even took the initiative to pay more to buy them.

One day.

Just as Wan Ping'an returned to the Sihe Academy, Yan Let Jiecheng came knocking.

"Brother Ping'an, my dad asked me to tell you that someone is spreading rumors about you."

"Saying you're a violent maniac, saying you're selfish, saying you're lecherous, saying your heart is black—whatever is ugly, that's what they say."

Yan Let Jiecheng brought bad news.

"Spreading rumors?"

"It must be someone who has a grudge against me."

"I don't have many enemies, and they're all concentrated in the four courtyards: the Deaf Old Lady, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Jia Zhangshi, and Seeing Shazhu."

"Seeing Shazhu can be excluded; he doesn't have that many devious thoughts."

"Jia Jia Zhangshi can also be excluded; her execution ability is limited, and she's very lazy. If you asked her to go out and spread rumors, she'd rather lie at home and sleep."

"That leaves the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai."

"The Deaf Old Lady thought of this vicious idea and let Yi Zhonghai execute it."

Wan Ping'an analyzed it quickly.

It's just that there was no evidence!

He sent Yan Let Jiecheng away.

He gave a large pumpkin to the Yan family.

And privately, he gave Yan Let Jiecheng five mao as pocket money.

The common fault of the Yan family was loving to take advantage of small things.

As long as he gave a little favor, if there was any movement in the Sihe Academy, Yan Yan Fugui would try his best to notify him.

"Look, I said Wan Ping'an definitely wouldn't treat us badly."

Yan Yan Fugui looked at the large pumpkin Yan Let Jiecheng brought back, his eyes squinting into a slit with a smile.

This was a golden pumpkin worth one yuan each!

Next door.

The Deaf Old Lady's house.

"Old Lady, the rumors are having an effect."

"In our courtyard, and in the nearby courtyards, many people are talking about Wan Ping'an."

"In a few more days, his reputation will stink to high heaven."

"When that time comes, I'll go to the subdistrict office to report it; even if I can't drive him out, I'll make him go to the subdistrict office to participate in ideological education!"

Yi Zhonghai's triumphant smile couldn't be retracted.

He was too happy.

The Deaf Old Lady nodded.

"Old Lady, I have another piece of good news."

"He Great Qing is with the White Widow; we can make an issue out of this, and we can definitely drive He Great Qing away."

Yi Zhonghai was even more triumphant.

"No rush!"

"One by one; deal with Wan Ping'an first."

"The lethality of Ping'an alone is much stronger than He Great Qing and Xu Yan Fugui combined."
