Chapter 134: Even Dogs Wouldn’t Eat It
Inside Old Man Mu’s room, Yun Jiao and Yun Chenbei sat side by side in the corner, trying to lower their presence.
Watching a show.
The kind where you watch while eating.
“Old Mu, look how spirited our child is. I heard you’re willing to teach now, so please teach my child too. He’ll definitely be obedient and willing to work hard, doing whatever you ask.”
While speaking, the middle-aged man pushed the gift he was holding into Old Man Mu’s hand.
“Just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it…”
Old Mu frowned and refused, “Take your gift back. I’m old and have limited energy, I can’t teach so many people.”
“Oh, even with my son, that’s only two people, not many at all. My son is intelligent and clever, easy to teach.”
As he spoke, he subtly glanced towards Yun Chenbei.
That kid looks dull and dazed, definitely not as smart as his own son. Besides, he’s just a poor boy from a small fishing village.
Yun Jiao’s little eyebrows were wrinkled. What kind of look was that?
“Xiao Lin, what are you standing around for? Come here and call him Master.”
The middle-aged man said flatteringly, “Look, my son’s name even has ‘Lin’ in it, it’s clear we’re destined.”
The youth walked to Old Mu’s side and reluctantly opened his mouth, “Mas…”
Old Man Mu directly interrupted, “Don’t. I am not your master.”
He really disliked this feeling of being forced to buy or sell.
“I said, can’t you understand that I’m not taking disciples? Take your things back, and I won’t take your son either.”
The youth’s expression instantly fell.
“What are you talking about? He’s just a carpenter. I already said I don’t want to learn this.”
His expression and gaze were filled with dislike and disdain, clearly looking down on the profession of a carpenter.
“What do you know? Quickly apologize to Old Mu!”
The couple quickly pulled the youth.
But the youth was clearly spoiled by his family and didn’t listen to advice at all.
Old Mu’s face darkened, “If you don’t want to learn, I don’t want to teach either. Now all of you get out.”
The youth was very defiant, “Old man, do you want a beating? How dare you speak to me like that!”
At this point, Yun Chenbei and Yun Jiao both came over.
Although Yun Chenbei was a bit socially anxious and disliked talking, he would bravely stand up to protect those close to him.
And the youth wasn’t as tall as Yun Chenbei.
“What, you want to fight too?”
Yun Jiao: “Big Black, Eldest.”
She was small and not very intimidating, but Big Black was different.
Big Black Dog and the Tabby Cat, who were guarding outside, rushed in.
Yun Jiao stood beside Big Black, looking at the youth with her small eyes.
She was short, but her presence was not weak.
“Do you want to fight?”
She threw the question back at him.
The three of them looked at Big Black Dog. At this moment, Big Black was baring his teeth, ready to attack at any moment.
They all took two steps back in unison and swallowed.
The youth was even more cowardly, but still stuck his neck out, feigning bravery, “You wouldn’t dare let your dog bite us, would you?”
Yun Jiao put her hands on her hips, angrily, “Why should you be allowed to bark like a dog, but we’re not!”
What dog? Where did they…
The couple realized what she meant and their faces turned red, “You, you…”
The youth hadn’t even realized yet, shouting that if they were bitten by a dog, they would definitely sue Yun Jiao and the others for money.
Yun Jiao: “What are you barking about?”
The youth: “You’re the one…”
Soon, he also realized, his face turning red as if he was about to faint from anger.
Old Mu’s face was cold, “You are not welcome here, now get out!”
He directly kicked them out and threw out the gifts they brought.
The couple lost face and couldn’t stand it.
“Old Mu, don’t regret this. With his dazed look, he doesn’t seem smart. Your legacy will probably be ruined in his hands!”
Yun Chenbei: Huh? Are they talking about me?
Yun Jiao was so angry she picked up some mud from the ground and threw it.
“You’re the dazed one, your whole family is dazed! My Fourth Brother is clearly very intelligent!”
The protective little one was online.
Old Mu also retorted sarcastically, “If I were to accept your son, I would truly regret it. He’s arrogant, has low intelligence and emotional quotient, is rude and conceited, a foolish brat. To be able to raise such a son, your own upbringing must not be very good. And you want me to teach your son? That’s a fool’s dream!”
Yun Jiao: Wow… Grandpa Mu scolds so fiercely.
After the three left in a sorry state, Old Man Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted Yun Jiao’s hair.
“Little one, well done. Stay and eat with your Grandpa Mu today.”
Yun Chenbei quickly said, “Master, let me cook.”
Old Man Mu waved his hand, “No need. Anyway, I’m idle, so I’ll do it. You go do your work.”
Yun Chenbei seemed to want to say something but stopped.
After Old Man Mu went to the kitchen, he quickly said to Yun Jiao.
“Jiaojiao, find an excuse and leave quickly.”
Yun Jiao looked blank, what’s wrong?
Yun Chenbei’s expression was indescribable, “The food Master makes is a bit difficult to eat.”
He didn’t say more, after all, that was his master, and he didn’t want to say anything bad.
Yun Jiao became truly curious.
“How is it difficult to eat? Can it be worse than bitter melon?”
Yu Yu was curious and wanted to try.
Driven by curiosity, she decided to stay for the meal.
Then…
Staring at the three dishes on the table, Yun Jiao’s little face was wrinkled.
“Grandpa Mu, what is this?” Yun Jiao pointed at the plate of black things.
Old Mu: “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
“And this?”
Old Mu: “When did you go blind? Isn’t that steamed fish? Can’t you even recognize fish?”
Yun Jiao mumbled, “But the fish my grandmother makes has the scales removed.”
“My fish also has the scales removed.”
Yun Jiao poked at a piece of fish meat, and a piece with scales on it was pushed in front of him.
“Did you not wear your glasses when you cleaned the fish?”
Yun Chenbei nodded silently beside her, his sister had spoken his mind.
He had wanted to say it before, but he was too cowardly and didn’t dare.
“My eyesight is fine. That part just wasn’t cleaned completely. Spit it out if you get it in your mouth.”
“Then what about this?”
The last dish was a soup.
“Kelp and tofu soup.”
It’s just that the kelp pieces were a bit too large, and the tofu pieces were sometimes big and sometimes small.
“Don’t worry, it’s edible. It won’t kill you. I’ve been eating like this all these years, and I’m still healthy and strong.”
He even patted his chest.
Yun Jiao tentatively tasted a bit of the fish.
It was barely edible, but definitely not delicious!
Negative review!
Taking another bite of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she confirmed, these were truly burnt.
She didn’t even want to try the soup; it looked completely unappetizing.
She even picked up a piece of kelp and gave it to Big Black.
Big Black sniffed it, shook his head, and walked away in disgust.
Yun Jiao: “Even a dog won’t eat it.”
Old Man Mu: “…Don’t be so picky. Just tell me if you’re going to eat it or not.”
Yun Jiao put down her chopsticks, got off the stool, and bowed to Old Mu.
“Grandpa Mu, my grandmother is calling me home to feed the chickens. Goodbye!”
After saying that, she slipped away without looking back.
