Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System Chapter 50: Meeting an Acquaintance
Zhou Anran no longer kept an eye on the ceramic jug as soon as Liu Hua pulled herself back, taking a few steps away from them. Even so, it was still close enough for Liu Hua when she went to snatch the ceramic jug again.
By the ti she and others had realized what was happening, Liu Hua had bolted away. She shoved everyone standing in her way rudely, nearly making them stumble against each other.
It was an effective distraction.
In a few seconds, Liu Hua successfully left the small crowd that had gathered around and ran away. Her heart was full of hatred. She cursed Zhou Anran and her children a few tis in her mind.
"Soone already reserved that jug before and we have no more," Xiao Yuxi muttered anxiously.
It was a rchant who pre-ordered that one ceramic jug of soy milk. Moreover, the person even paid double along with the ceramic jug’s price. They had bought the whole thing.
The Xiao family could make another batch, but they could only do it tomorrow. But... they had overheard the rchant that his group would leave soon!
As soon as he heard Xiao Yuxi’s words, Xiao Fenghao stood up and jumped away, trying to chase after Liu Hua. They couldn’t let the custor be disappointed in them.
Liu Hua was slightly plump, but she ran very fast. Once she was about to leave the village market, she subconsciously slowed down.
However, it was a mistake.
Xiao Fenghao easily caught up with her.
His footsteps were loud, making Liu Hua realize that soone was after her. Her heart thumped furiously in her chest, and she stopped. The other party was too fast, and she simply didn’t want to struggle anymore.
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes. Since she couldn’t get her hands on this ceramic jug of soy milk, then Zhou Anran also couldn’t!
With that thought in mind, she sneered at Xiao Fenghao and let go of the ceramic jug. Xiao Fenghao’s pupils constricted, and he reached out to grab it.
Alas, he was still far away and could only watch helplessly as the fragile ceramic jug slipped to the ground. He could already imagine the soy milk splashing on the ground.
He blinked. A mont later, he thought his eyes were deceiving him.
The ceramic jug was already so close to the ground, and it stayed there, as if it was suspended in the air. He lifted his gaze. Soone was holding the ceramic jug.
Thanks to the cover they had put above it, no drop of soy milk was spilled out.
Liu Hua’s heart nearly stopped, and she didn’t hesitate to turn around and raced away. Han Tingxun’s n hesitated whether they should chase after her. After all, their superior hadn’t given them any order.
Ultimately, they missed the best ti and Liu Hua managed to run away.
"Is this yours?" Han Tingxun asked as he handed over the ceramic jug to the panting teenager in front of him.
Xiao Fenghao accepted the ceramic jug, thanking him. "Many thanks for the help, Uncle."
Han Tingxun had acted on a whim, since he heard that soone was shouting at the thief. He scrutinized the young man in front of him briefly and nodded, not interested in dwelling on such a small matter.
"Mr. Han, you have co!" A familiar voice rang from behind Xiao Fenghao, and he turned his head at the source.
It was rchant Yang, the one who had ordered soy milk from them. rchant Yang obviously also recognized Xiao Fenghao. He acknowledged him briefly through his gaze before his attention returned to Han Tingxun.
"Please, follow , Mr. Han. I have reserved a few rooms at the inn for you and your people." rchant Yang was quite straightforward.
He nudged the servant beside him, and as he led Han Tingxun away, the servant stayed.
"Excuse , we ordered a jug of soy milk for your mother yesterday, may we pick up the item now?" The servant asked Xiao Fenghao.
He had seen him chasing over soone earlier. The people shouting and calling out to the thief gave him a quick understanding about what had happened. Unexpectedly, soone was stealing a jug of drink.
Xiao Fenghao acknowledged his words. "rchant Yang?"
The servant nodded, expecting Xiao Fenghao to lead him to their stall. However, he shoved the ceramic jug in his arms to him instead.
"This is our soy milk?" The servant blinked, dazedly accepting it.
Xiao Fenghao nodded. "We made it two hours ago. Make sure to drink it soon within two hours so that the taste will not change."
He suddenly thought of sothing. "If the taste has changed before two hours have passed, you can tell us. We will compensate for you."
After all, Xiao Fenghao wasn’t sure the taste would stay the sa after Liu Hua brought it running, which shook the soy milk inside. He just wanted to make sure since he didn’t understand about this drink.
"Alright..." The servant trailed off.
When Xiao Fenghao returned, he reported everything to his mother. Zhou Anran was quite relieved when she heard that the person who ordered the ceramic jug had taken it with them.
They were already preparing to return the money.
[Second Brother already retrieved the jug of soy milk back. System, are you sure there is no delayed notification this ti?] Xiao Qingya tried to make sure.
[Host, I have checked a few tis, and I am sure there is no mission for the ti being.] The System confird.
Xiao Qingya fell into a deep thought, and she made a guess.
[It’s suspicious that the mission is so close to the harvesting ti for our rice. Is it also related to our crops?]
Before the System could answer, her attention was attracted by soone in the crowd.
[System, am I seeing it wrong? Isn’t it that Uncle who had saved ?] Xiao Qingya widened her eyes as she saw Han Tingxun’s figure in the crowd.
Their eyes happened to et and the little one waved cutely at him.
The entire Xiao family mbers couldn’t help but steal a glance. Xiao Fenghao was stunned when he recognized the person. Judging from Han Tingxun’s quick move, he had guessed the other party was a martial artist.
Han Tingxun’s sharp eyes also noticed Xiao Qingya. He stopped listening to rchant Yang and headed toward their stall.
