Chapter 765

Although this method of cooking was far behind modern culinary techniques,

for Wan Ping'an, who had been hungry for a long time, it was already wonderful enough.

After eating, Wan Ping'an used a wooden spoon to ladle the remaining soup into a porcelain bowl and two pottery bowls,

and took two white flour steamed buns from the bamboo basket and placed them on a tray.

After finishing, Wan Ping'an tidied up the things on the table and started eating. Not long after, he heard an argument outside the courtyard again.

"Xu Damao? What's going on with you? Hurry up and give me the ten yuan you borrowed when you bought meat before," He Yuzhu was asking Xu Damao for money.

"Sigh... Yuzhu, I'm really unable to turn things around here," Xu Damao sighed.

"Hmph! Xu Damao, you used to be quite rich; why are you so poor now that you can't even afford to eat? Who are you trying to fool!" He Yuzhu questioned.

"Yuzhu, I was scammed. If you don't believe me, go to the grain depot in the north of the city and ask someone yourself, and you'll understand."

"What kind of thing was scammed?"

"Sigh, it's the money I borrowed last time."

"You...!" He Yuzhu widened his eyes and pointed at Xu Damao.

"Alright, alright, Yuzhu, don't pester me anymore. You also know that my family is poor now, and I really have no money to pay you back."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was so angry he couldn't speak clearly, Xu Damao hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"I spit on that! You dog-day son, didn't you say you were scammed? How did it become being scammed again?" He Yuzhu scolded angrily.

"I really was scammed. Believe it or not, I really have nothing to give you now."

"Fine, since you say so, don't blame me!"

"Yuzhu! You're just being unreasonable. I really don't have any money now; please give me a few more days."

"Get lost! Don't be an eyesore here. A coward, and you dare to act tough in front of me? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death? No matter what you say today, you must give me that ten yuan!"

"Yuzhu, why are you like this!..."

"I'm forcing you, so what!"

Before Xu Damao could finish speaking, a sound was heard.

"Bang!" Kicking the door open, He Yuzhu appeared, holding a shoulder pole, staring fiercely at him.

Wan Ping'an heard the commotion in his room, so he came out with his freshly made meal, eating while watching, his brows slightly furrowed, looking at them coldly.

"Xu Damao, you damn thing, you're trying to welsh on the money you owe me, right?!" He Yuzhu rushed over, raised the shoulder pole, and hit Xu Damao without warning. ===== CHAPTER 767 =====
