Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 103 Selling Mooncakes

"A Zong, A Zong."

That afternoon, cousin Bing finished his business and came to Kang's house to find the second brother. After calling a few times and seeing no one, he went to the dining room and happened to see the eldest sister-in-law and Mr. Chang preparing dinner.

"What are you looking at?" Kang Qirui nudged his cousin Bing, who was staring at the kitchen. When he turned around and looked at him, he asked again, "Cousin, why are you looking for Er Lao? He is in the store at this time."

"I have purchased the mooncakes and the truck is outside. If A Zong is not here, A Rui, you can come with me to his shop to help unload the goods." Cousin Bing pulled Kang Qi Rui out. Naturally, Kang Qi Rui was willing to help with the second brother's business, so he followed Cousin Bing's wishes.

The two followed the truck to Er Lao's hardware store, took the mooncakes off the truck, and Kang Qirui helped write a big-character poster to advertise. "Very good, A Zong Ni can sell your screws, pliers, hinges, and door locks as usual, and I will sell my double yolk lotus paste and five-kernel bacon. It's a win-win situation, and I'm sure you'll make money." After finishing the work, Cousin Bing didn't forget to paint a big picture for Er Lao.

"Is it that easy to win?" The second brother said that he couldn't eat this big pie.

"Don't worry, are you worried that my mooncakes won't sell? You might as well be worried that your stall will be demolished." Cousin Bing was inexplicably confident, claiming that unless the stall was gone, there would be no problem. Kang Qirui laughed inwardly. In his memory, Er Lao's hardware store would be demolished next month. This cousin Bing was really good at doing good things but bad at doing bad things.

"Clearance? They said it was going to be cleared when Tianxiu was in diapers, but there has been no news since then." The second brother didn't care.

Cousin Bing fiddled with his mooncakes, "Your worries are unnecessary. Even if there are any troubles, you have a Taiwanese uncle to take care of you." The second brother was not convinced, "Do I, Kang Qizong, need anyone to take care of me now? I, Kang Qizong, am taking care of you now, do you understand?"

Cousin Bing laughed awkwardly, found a stool and sat down, and said, "By the way, is that Wanwan uncle Xianglan's uncle?" The second brother nodded and replied, "Probably."

"The last time I saw that old man, there was a beautiful girl next to him." asked cousin Bing.

"That's his goddaughter, the general manager of his company." Kang Qirui answered. "Goddaughter? Rui and Zong, have you ever thought about it? It's often seen in movies, goddaughters go to bed. I'm just worried that Xianglan will be taken advantage of by him." Cousin Bing has a very strange way of thinking.

"What did you say?" Kang Qirui was speechless.

"How could such a good thing happen? What a coincidence? A rich uncle went to your house for a meal and found his long-lost niece?" Cousin Bing felt that it was impossible for such a coincidence.

Er Lao felt that what his cousin Bing said made sense. He thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "But he could tell what Xianglan's father's name was, Gou Sheng Gou Wa."

Cousin Bing waved his hands and said, "What's so strange about this? In our countryside, if you shout out loudly: Zhunu, Suxia, a group of children will answer you." What Cousin Bing said was a common situation in the countryside. Indeed, many people have the same nicknames.

"Brother Zong, have you sold this shop to someone else?" As he was talking, a man Kang Qirui had never seen before passed by and said something to Er Lao. "What do you mean by selling? Such a big man like Zong is standing here." Er Lao spread his hands. The man asked again why he was selling mooncakes, and Er Lao said that he was making extra money during the festival.

"You work so hard, why don't you just close the shop?" The man said sarcastically and left, making Er Lao so angry that he turned off the switch and went home to eat. Kang Qirui said something to his cousin Bing and followed him back.

As soon as he returned to the Kang family, the second brother called several brothers to his room for a meeting. "I don't think this matter is that simple. There are big problems." The second brother said worriedly.

"What? I think there's no problem. Mr. Chang already treats my sister-in-law as his own niece." A-Zu didn't care.

"That's right. I don't need to do anything now. My sister-in-law can handle it by herself. I think this matter is almost certain." A Yao was very relaxed and full of joy. He felt that the result was already achieved. "You look so relaxed. Did you use your brain?" The second brother's tone was very similar to that of his cousin Bing.

"Think about it, you've seen a lot of movies where they fuck their daughters. I'm worried about my sister-in-law now. Think about it, how can it be so cheap?"

"You're not saying that old man Chang is a fake, are you?" The eldest brother Guang said doubtfully, "There's no reason, he can tell the name of Xianglan's uncle when he was a child, Gou Wa, Gou Sheng and so on." "Big brother, use your brain, try to go back to the countryside and stand at the entrance of the village and shout, Su Xia, Xia Nu, maybe all the children in the village will be looking at you." The second brother directly quoted what his cousin Bing said. "Second brother, it seems very sinister to hear you say that." A Zu's expression also changed. It was indeed right that nicknames really don't mean anything.

Kang Qirui shook his head helplessly and said, "Second Brother, didn't you just say that cousin Bing was a mean person? What? Now you think he was right?" Second Brother waved his hands, "Sometimes mean people understand mean people best. How could it be such a coincidence? You have been looking for your relatives for decades and couldn't find them, but you found them by coming to our house for a meal?"

"I think Uncle Chang is really interested in Xianglan." A Yao first affirmed, but then changed the subject and said, "But what Er Lao said makes sense. If Miss Zeng and Uncle Chang are really in that kind of relationship, I have to avoid them because I find that Miss Zeng is very cautious about me. I think she may think that we are trying to take Uncle Chang's property and threaten her position."

"I find that you have matured a lot." Er Lao praised A Yao and said to A Zu, "And you, I found that you have been very out of control with that Ting Ting recently."

"That's right, Fourth Brother, you have to remember that you have a girlfriend. If Diana finds out, aren't you afraid that she will break up with you?" Kang Qirui still had to persuade A Zu about this matter. He knew who Miss Zeng was, and he didn't want A Zu and Diana to have a quarrel over this. When Diana was mentioned, A Zu said awkwardly, "I know, I know what to do."

"That's good to know. Now let me make a summary speech. In fact, I'm also doing this for the good of the boss and the sister-in-law. You should keep a close eye on your wives. As for the relationship between Tingting and the old man, let's not worry about it. In short, business must be done, sister-in-law must be protected, and sister-in-law must not be cuckolded." The second boss made a summary speech and ended the meeting.

In the next two days, because the holiday was approaching, Kang Qirui was busy with school affairs and didn't pay much attention to Xianglan and Uncle Chang's affairs. It was only when Zhu Wanling talked to him before going to bed every night that she mentioned it a few times, and he knew that Miss Zeng often asked A Yao out these two days, which caused a big quarrel between Sachiko and A Yao. Uncle Chang promptly told her that Miss Zeng had a boyfriend in Taiwan, and Sachiko and A Yao stopped quarreling. After this incident, Miss Zeng went back to Taiwan, leaving Uncle Chang alone. He didn't want to live in a hotel anymore, so he moved into Kang's house.

Er Lao's mooncake business was basically unsaleable and business was bleak. In the end, it was Uncle Chang who asked Mrs. Zhu to buy all of Er Lao's mooncakes. Mrs. Zhu's excuse was immediately exposed by Er Lao, so he didn't sell it to Mrs. Zhu (Uncle Chang). He could afford to lose this little money.

On September 9, Xianglan's father's reply finally arrived at the Kang family. "Sister-in-law, your parents said that your uncle has a scar on his back. We can find out the truth without going to southern Henan." Er Lao said after reading the letter.

"The question is how should I check it?" Xianglan had no idea. "It doesn't have to be complicated, why not just ask him directly?" Second Sister-in-law suggested.

"Are you stupid? If there is a scar, it's okay, but what if there is not? Why don't you just tell him that you are not your sister-in-law's uncle?" The second brother was speechless. It would be so embarrassing to say it to his face.

"You are stupid. You really don't use your brain. If you see that he has a scar, then tell him the truth. If not, then lie to him and say that he doesn't have that scar." The second sister-in-law has some brain circuits.

"A Zong, it's really possible." Big Brother Guang also agreed.

Er Lao, A Zong and Kang Qi Rui slapped their heads at the same time and said in unison: "You are really stupid. If the one without scar is Xianglan's uncle, we don't have scars either, so we are all Xianglan's uncles? You are all stupid."

The eldest brother Guang and the second sister-in-law also realized what they had said and lowered their heads in embarrassment. "Then what should we do?" Xianglan continued to ask.

"Why don't we go swimming together?" A-Zu suggested. Xianglan rejected the idea, saying that Mr. Chang couldn't swim.

"Then let's go and see him secretly while he's sleeping?" A Yao suggested. Er Lao rejected it directly. What if the door is closed? Even if the door is open, what if he wakes up? He might think we are stealing something.

"If Mr. Chang suddenly has a fever and has cramps, then he has to get an injection? He has to take off his pants for an injection." Lao Guang's brain circuits are always so amazing. The last time he suspected someone sent flowers to Xianglan, he also hoped that Xianglan would stay at home because she had a fever.

At this time, Tianxiu came out and said disdainfully: "It's too easy to see if Grandpa Chang has a scar on his back. Leave it to me. I'll give you an answer tonight." Everyone looked at the fat boy in surprise, "No need to look at me, I have a way anyway."

In the afternoon, Tianxiu saw Uncle Chang and asked him to help fertilize his reunion fruit. The fertilizer was bought by Kang Qirui a few days ago, but Kang Qirui was not free these two days, so Tianxiu helped Uncle Chang to fertilize for three days. While fertilizing, Tianxiu suddenly said, "Oh, there are bugs."

Then he opened Uncle Chang's clothes, checked his back to see if there was any scar, and said anxiously, "Oh, it has crawled onto your back. Uncle Chang, don't move. I will help you get rid of it." He carefully checked Uncle Chang's back, fixed Uncle Chang's clothes, and said, "Okay, the bug has flown away."
