but-

Although Mr. Mu will not talk about this matter everywhere, even if others ask him, he will just talk about it with a few vague words.

Zhou Mingbao's reputation is still bad in the hearts of his neighbors.

In their view, Zhou Mingbao was a bit too profit-seeking.

There is no problem if you like money.

Everyone likes money.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

However, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.

There are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed.

Moreover, Zhou Mingbao's behavior not only defrauded money, but also trampled on the feelings of the elders who cared about him.

It will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable.

You know, among the gifts Zhou Mingbao received at his birthday party, apart from the gifts given by the Zhou family, the most precious, most thoughtful and most painstaking gift was Mu Lao's gift.

This should have been a well-kept gift.

As it turned out, a few days after the gift was given, it changed its owner.

It almost caused big trouble to the person who gave the gift.

Everyone around who heard about this couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

What are these things called?

…

"You also know that because of this matter, your Grandpa Mu and Grandma Tan have become a little indifferent not only to Xiao Zhou, but also to the entire Zhou family."

"Xiao Zhou is a little spoiled by Old Zhou. Who knows what he will do next?"

...

"Nothing comes of it."

Grandpa Xiao sighed.

"Grandpa Zhou came to see me because he heard about Mu Tansong?"

Xiao Xiao thought of what his grandfather had said before, "In other words... Zhou Mingbao owes someone money?"

"He deserves it."

Grandpa Xiao sneered.

"Xiaomu is stupid and was tricked by others."

"Of course, if he hadn't been lucky and hadn't written an IOU in advance, people wouldn't have succeeded in trapping him."

Although Grandpa Xiao is old, his mind is not confused at all, "But in general, this kid Xiaomu has small thoughts, but he has no bad intentions."

"But Xiao Zhou is different."

Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "He is setting a trap for others."

"In the end, stealing the chicken ended up losing the rice. Instead, I got myself into big trouble."

...

"what happened?"

Xiao Xiao asked in time.

"Lao Zhou came to my door personally asking for help, and I know it's definitely not a trivial matter."

Grandpa Xiao sighed, "After all, I'm asking for your help, and it's not easy for your parents and I to agree randomly."

"What if I get you into trouble?"

"We also asked him what was going on?"

"But Lao Zhou insisted on waiting until you come back."

"Aren't we even more worried about his behavior?"

Grandpa Xiao shook his head.

How could a simple matter be kept so secretive?

...

"Finally, when he saw that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, he said that he wanted to come to you for help because he heard about Mu Tansong."

"This old wood."

Having said this, Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but complain a little.

"Not many people know about Xiaomu, only a few members of the Mu family are with you."

"Of course Lao Zhou couldn't have known it from you."

"The only possibility is that we know it from the Mu family."

"I don't know which of them told Lao Zhou."

"But that's not important anymore."

"Old Zhou knows everything."

"People are also coming to our door."

…

"Since he didn't want to give details, we asked someone to find out."

"After your Grandpa Mu and the others found out about this, they also helped us inquire about it."

"They were also a little embarrassed."

"But they don't know how Lao Zhou knew about Xiaomu."

"After all, they haven't had much contact with the Zhou family since that incident."

…

"Next time I see Lao Zhou, ask him how he knows."

Grandpa Xiao murmured, "I subconsciously thought it was the Mu family who leaked the news."

"But judging from their reactions, it seems not?"

…

"In short, hard work pays off,"

"We finally found out what Lao Zhou was hiding from us."

"That kid really hasn't made any progress at all."

Grandpa Xiao cursed angrily, paused, and then slowly explained the situation he heard.

…

What Zhou Mingbao did this time was similar to what he did many years ago.

No wonder Grandpa Xiao scolded him for not making progress.

Only this time, he hit an iron plate.

"Do you really think anyone can talk to Lao Mumu and that buyer from back then?"

Grandpa Xiao shook his head.

…

Mu Lao was indifferent to the Zhou family, and Zhou Mingbao looked like an ordinary passerby.

Rather than the children I have seen since childhood.

However, Zhou Mingbao kept approaching Mu Lao.

He also discovered the value of Mu Lao's works.

I am deeply saddened by Mu Lao's behavior of underestimating the value of his works.

However, no matter how extravagant his talk was, he remained unmoved.

He could only give up.

...

Because Zhou Mingbao no longer comes to Gumuxuan, the connection between the Mu family and the Zhou family has almost been severed.

After all, both stores are open, so there is not much time to rush around.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mingbao later came up with the idea of ​​wood carving.
