Chapter 215
"Oh my, you ungrateful wretch, do you think I'm blind? Do you think I don't know you're always giving handouts to those two little punks? Do you think my bun shop is a charity house?"
Old Feng's shrewish wife arrived, and the moment she saw Wei Wei Zhenzhen giving handouts to Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling, she couldn't help but burst into a torrent of abuse.
"Oh, it's just two buns, let's just let it go!"
Old Feng didn't have the heart to blame Wei Wei Zhenzhen over a few buns, so he tried to smooth things over.
"Go to hell! Two buns less today, three buns less tomorrow—is this bun shop supposed to stay open or not?"
The shrew was even angrier when she heard this. Thinking back on how Old Feng had built up this family business, let alone losing two or three buns every few days, he wouldn't even have been willing to give away a single bun to anyone.
"But Wei Zhenzhen is part of the family too, it's not worth hurting our harmony over two buns!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a silver ingot flew through the air and embedded itself between Old Feng and his wife, giving them both a fright.
"Consider these buns bought by me; let them eat their fill!"
Lin Fan said with a beaming smile as he sat on horseback.
"Many thanks, young master. I, Kou Zhong, can tell at a glance that you are a kind-hearted big shot. Rest assured, this meal's kindness today will surely be repaid generously by Ling Shao and me in the future. Isn't that right, Ling Shao?"
Kou Zhong said with a cheeky grin.
Even though he and Xu Xu Ziling were just two little punks, he addressed Xu Xu Ziling as Ling Shao, and Xu Xu Ziling also called him Zhong Shao, which showed their ambitions.
However, Xu Xu Ziling was a bit dazed; he noticed Shi Shi Qingxuan in Lin Fan's arms and felt a sense of familiarity.
But he had never left Yangzhou City, and the other party was a celestial-like figure, so how could he possibly know her?
"Young master, don't be fooled by these two little punks. They are good for nothing and only know how to scam food and drink. Spending money to buy them buns is a total waste. You'd better take it back, ah!"
Old Feng saw that Lin Fan was not someone to be trifled with, so he didn't want to take his silver, but his shrewish wife pinched the soft flesh at his waist, causing him to cry out in surprise.
"This young master is kind-hearted; why do you care what he does? Hurry up and get the buns for those two little punks!"
One bun cost three coins, and this tael of silver could buy a thousand coins. Even if they gave all their buns to Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling, they would still be making a huge profit. How could the shrew let such a good opportunity slip by?
"The money is yours, just take it. Besides that, I also want her!"
Lin Fan then pointed at Wei Wei Zhenzhen.
"What? That won't do, that won't do! You take your money back!"
Old Feng bristled; this young master already had a celestial-like female companion, yet he still wanted his Wei Wei Zhenzhen. This was absolutely out of the question.
"That's right, young master. She was sold to my house to pay off a debt. The debt alone is three taels of silver. You want to buy her away with just one tael? That won't do!"
The shrew also disagreed, though she had no objection to Lin Fan wanting Wei Wei Zhenzhen; in fact, she was happy to see it happen.
After all, one can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. Sooner or later, she wouldn't be able to keep an eye on Old Feng, and if he found an opportunity to have an intimate relationship with Wei Wei Zhenzhen, would there still be a place for her in the Feng family?
So, Lin Fan taking Wei Wei Zhenzhen away wasn't impossible, but he had to pay more!
"Whoosh!"
A ten-tael gold ingot passed between the legs of the constantly shaking Old Feng and stuck straight into the ground.
Old Feng nearly wet himself; he was only a hair's breadth away from losing his "little Feng." At that moment, the gold ingot was only 0. 1 centimeters away from his "little Feng."
Looking at the gold stuck in the ground, Old Feng had no doubt that if that gold had hit his "little Feng," it would have been smashed to pieces.
"The gold is yours, Wei Wei Zhenzhen is mine. Bring me the deed of sale!"
Lin Fan didn't want to waste words. Even if this poor woman wasn't a peerless beauty, she was still virtuous and intelligent. Saving this poor woman was his duty, and besides, Old Feng couldn't protect her anyway; in the end, she would just fall into the hands of Yuwen Yuwen Huaji.
Since that was the case, he would intercept her first.
"Young master, here is the deed of sale. Wei Wei Zhenzhen is yours!"
Old Feng was trembling with fear, but the shrew acted decisively, pulling Wei Wei Zhenzhen's deed of sale from his bosom and handing it to Lin Fan.
First, Lin Fan had produced ten taels of gold; second, Wei Wei Zhenzhen was her hidden rival; third, Lin Fan was not someone to be trifled with, so she agreed without hesitation.
"What? Sister Zhen was bought by him? What are we going to do?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were stunned; the world was changing too fast, and they couldn't adapt.
"Wei Wei Zhenzhen, are you willing to come with me? As for this deed of sale, it's not needed anymore!"
Lin Fan asked the dazed Wei Wei Zhenzhen and casually tore up her deed of sale.
"Ah?"
Wei Wei Zhenzhen also felt it was unbelievable. She had just been facing the shrew's accusations and was at a loss; after all, she was just a concubine sold to pay a debt, and a concubine in name only at that.
But in the blink of an eye, she had been bought by a handsome young master, who even tore up her deed of sale.
