Mo Ruyue told him the price that she had just heard. The young master immediately laughed and said, “I can’t believe they’re willing to offer such a price.”

“How about this? I’ll sign a contract with you for a long-term supply of wild game. As for the price, I’ll pay you 10% higher than the market price. Consider it my way of repaying Sister-in-law for saving my father’s life.”

Mo Ruyue heard his suggestion and raised an eyebrow. “I just casually bandaged him up, that’s all. It’s not like I saved his life, but you’re increasing the price by 10%… The young master is indeed very generous.”

“I’ve seen the game you provided, and the quality is indeed very good. Moreover, Sister-in-law is decisive and doesn’t talk nonsense, which I really admire. In short, since I can offer this price, naturally, there’s profit to be made.”

He said it so directly that it made Mo Ruyue think highly of him.

After the two of them agreed on the price, he gave the order. Not long after, a waiter came in with a tray. On it was the contract that had been prepared according to their agreed terms.

“Sister-in-law, take a look. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract.”

The young master pushed the contract in front of Mo Ruyue and also pushed the brush and ink over.

Mo Ruyue quickly glanced through it. At first, she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to understand the words on the page. She didn’t expect that it was just some traditional Chinese characters, which were not difficult to read at all.

There was no language trap[1] on the contract. Mo Ruyue confirmed it twice and was ready to press her thumbprint. She didn’t expect that Da Bao would snatch the contract away.

“You don’t know how to read. What are you looking at?”

Da bao frowned and also read the contract back and forth. Unfortunately, the vertical and horizontal hooks were like worms on the paper. He could not understand what was written on it at all.

“Little brother, if you don’t trust me, you can invite the shopkeeper of the nearby book shop and ask him to read it to you. You’ll be at ease then, right?”

The young master was not afraid of Da Bao’s attitude and patiently gave a suggestion.

“Who said I can’t read?”

Mo Ruyue knew that the original owner was a good-for-nothing person in everyone’s eyes, but she had already shown too many different appearances. It didn’t matter if she had one more.

“How come I didn’t know you could read?” Da Bao’s eyes widened. He did not believe her at all.

“There are many things you don’t know. Did you know that I can hunt?”

Mo Ruyue retorted directly. Did this d*mn child still know that she was his ‘stepmother’? How could he expose her in public like this?

Da Bao was also choked by her words and did not know how to continue.

That’s right. If he thought about it this way, this woman’s recent change was simply heaven and earth turning upside down. Although she was much tougher and colder than before, she no longer abused him and his younger brothers and sisters. She even took care of their food, clothing, and accommodation. She was even willing to leave the silver with him instead of running away with the money and abandoning them.

“Give me the contract. I’ll read it to you.”

Mo Ruyue extended her hand to Da Bao, and he subconsciously handed over the contract in his hand.

The young master was listening quietly at the side. He felt that the way this mother and son got along was very interesting. At the same time, he also wanted to know if this sister-in-law was really literate.

Mo Ruyue had only read a paragraph of the contract when the young master knew that she was indeed literate. He was also glad that he had not tampered with the contract. If he was exposed in front of others, it would be very embarrassing.

He even said that he wanted to repay the other party’s kindness, but in the next moment, he dug a hole and waited for them to jump into it. If this were to spread out, wouldn’t it be equivalent to giving good ammunition to the Heavenly Fortune Tower across the street?

Mo Ruyue read half of the contract and saw that Da Bao was no longer straightening his neck, so she directly pressed her handprint.

The young master saw that Mo Ruyue had pressed her handprint and asked the waiter to get the scale on the spot. He also invited the accountant to settle the account for the mother and son in this private room.

After some weighing and calculation, the accountant showed the list to the young master.

“Young master, it’s a total of two silver taels and seven silver coins. Please have a look.”

“Let sister-in-law take a look.”

The young master then passed the list to Mo Ruyue.

“There’s no problem. I’ve already calculated it. It’s indeed two taels and seven coins of silver.”

As a top assassin, Mo Ruyue often had to calculate the wind speed and angle to calibrate her aim when sniping a target, so her mental calculation standard was also extremely high.

She had only heard the sales assistant report the quantity and unit price once, and she had already calculated the correct number in her mind while the accountant was doing the tally.

“Sister-in-law’s calculation ability is so fast!” The young master said in surprise.

Only now did he realize that he seemed to have underestimated this woman who was dressed in ordinary clothes. Not only could she take out an effective medicine, but she could also read and even calculate without an abacus. She did not seem like a wild woman from a mountain village.

“Since we’ve already calculated the price, then let’s set the payment for when the goods are delivered. It’s getting late, and I still have to bring my children home. There are a few children waiting for me at home.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t want the young master to pay too much attention to her. She had many skills, but there was no need to explain them clearly to someone she had just met. After all, they were only in a cooperative supply relationship.

The young master was also a quick-witted person and immediately understood the meaning behind Mo Ruyue’s words. He knew in his heart that he might have overstepped his boundaries, so he immediately smiled and said, “Look at me. How could I forget the important things? That’s how it should be.”

He asked the accountant to bring the silver to Mo Ruyue, and at the same time, he asked the waiter to keep the meat.

Mo Ruyue took the money and weighed it in her hand. She didn’t count the string of money carefully, but she could tell that the two strings of money were exactly the same based on her years of gun control.

“Since the money and goods are settled, we’ll take our leave first. I’ll come to deliver the game at least once every three days. Besides ensuring that there are rabbits and pheasants, I’ll see if I’m lucky enough to catch any large prey.”

After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she was ready to take Da Bao home, but she saw the young master looking at her with a hesitant expression.

“Is there anything else, young master?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t intend to ask at first, but seeing that he was quite generous in setting the price, she just asked casually. She didn’t think she could help him.

“Sister-in-law, I know it might be a little abrupt to say this, but I really can’t help it.” The young master said hesitantly.

“If you have something to say, then say it. If you really feel that it’s rude, then why speak?” Mo Ruyue interrupted him.

A big man was speaking so bluntly… It seemed like she shouldn’t have asked so much before.

“Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point.”

The young master had more or less figured out Mo Ruyue’s temperament. She was cold, direct, and didn’t like to beat around the bush. She didn’t bow and scrape just because he was rich. Obviously, she hated the way he spoke in a roundabout way.

If he needed her help, he’d better get straight to the point. Otherwise, it would only lead to gaining her disgust.

“Previously, my father fell down outside, and his head was bleeding non-stop. Fortunately, Sister-in-law came to save him. Just now, I invited a familiar Doctor Du, and after he carefully examined the wound, he said that my father’s fall was not light. If it wasn’t for the use of an extremely effective hemostatic, I’m afraid that by the time he arrived, he would have already lost a lot of blood and died. ”

“It’s just that from the medicinal powder on it, I can’t tell what it’s made of, so…”

The young master hesitated again. What he was going to say next sounded like he was coveting other people’s top-grade medicine and also wanted to see its prescription. This kind of unorthodox thing was not his original intention. He just wanted to ask for more medicine.
