“I never heard anything of that,” they exchanged glances before replying.

“Stop making blind guesses.
Don’t overstep your boundaries and there won’t be any problems.
Everyone, watch your steps,” said the person from the Municipal Committee who was also in charge of hosting this meeting.

“Yes, we are all honest and uncorrupted.
There won’t be any problems with us,” many people voiced their agreement, praising the virtues of being honest and uncorrupted.

“I don’t think anything has happened to Grandfather Ling’s family.
Is this the first round of crackdowns?” muttered the person from the Municipal Committee inwardly despite the calmness he was depicting.

All these were unknown to Grandfather Ling and Grandpa Jia.
The two were busy chatting.

Normally, Grandfather Ling would be very sharp for things that would have political inclination like this.
But since this involved Grandpa Jia, he did not put much thought into it.
He would do what he could do to help.

“Class Monitor Jia, have you eaten? Come, get some food at my house,” offered Grandfather Ling with a smile from the passenger seat.

“I came after eating Egg Fried Rice.
You, on the other hand, should go back and eat something light,” Grandpa Jia said smugly.

“You went to Boss Yuan’s place again? Why didn’t you wait for me?” complained Grandfather Ling.

“Hah, the dishes would be cold by the time you are ready,” Grandpa Jia replied while driving.

“Someone needs to be doing the job.
I can still go after doing my job.
But you are really showing very little care for an old man like me,” complained Grandfather Ling.

“Ling Little Six, oh Ling Little Six, do you think you’re still young? Even your grandchildren are already adults,” Grandpa Jia rolled his eyes.

“Since I look older than you, you need to take care of me, Class Monitor Jia,” said Grandfather Ling righteously.

For some reason, when Grandfather Ling was acting shameless, he resembled Wu Hai.

“I’m here picking you up, right?” Grandpa Jia said.

“That won’t do.
I will be free in two days.
I will treat you to a meal at Boss Yuan’s place.
Don’t refuse me,” Grandfather Ling shook his head and said.

“Sure.
Since I paid last time, you will pay this time,” Grandpa Jia said seriously.

“Sure, then I’ll take that as an agreement,” Grandfather Ling quickly confirmed it.

He was scared that Grandpa Jia would stubbornly refuse and had to quickly confirm the agreement.

Grandpa Jia was naturally aware of Grandfather Ling’s kind intention.
He did not bother bickering about it and agreed directly.

After all, they would each pay for a meal and nobody would suffer losses.

While the two old men chatted happily and riding on the slow rickshaw, Yuan Zhou had just finished his business for the day.
The pub had just been opened.

The sky was already pitch black.
Yuan Zhou opened the back door wide.
The temperature for the past few days had been rather abnormal.
As such, with his door opened, Broth wouldn’t feel too cold while waiting for food.

Below the lamp was a bright and glossy figure.
That was naturally Broth.

“Woof, woof!” Broth suddenly barked.

“Your broth will be ready soon.
Are you getting hungry?” Yuan Zhou asked as he turned around.

Broth wouldn’t normally bark for food like this.

The moment Yuan Zhou turned, he saw an old man with a carrying pole hiding in the shadows while gazing at Broth in fear.
His hair was completely white while he was wearing an army green long-sleeved shirt, a pair of dark brown trousers, and a pair of green shoes.

When Yuan Zhou saw him, an embarrassed expression covered the old man’s face.
But he still took the initiative to speak first, “Sorry for disturbing.
I’m only passing by.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it,” Yuan Zhou paused slightly before replying.

After hearing Yuan Zhou’s reply, that person seemed to have relaxed somewhat and even his back seemed to have straightened up.

“Don’t worry.
He’s not being aggressive.
He’s just reminding me that someone is here.
He will do the same every time someone is here.
He won’t bite,” Yuan Zhou said.
He gazed at Broth with a frown and immediately, Broth retreated and sat back down and gazed at the old man seriously.

A relieved look surfaced on the old man’s face.
When Yuan Zhou saw the old man preparing to leave, he said with a smile, “I reckon he’s getting hungry seeing you carrying food.
So are you selling the mulberries you’re carrying?”
