Chapter 44 The Kitten and The Puppy

For the next ten days, Wang Changming went to clean Mu Jiao Long's wound every day. From a benevolent act, the relationship between the two began to blossom and bear fruit.

For Wang Changming, he has been looking forward to dinner because he likes the family atmosphere of Mu's family. Everyone ate happily and shared their daily stories. Sometimes Wang Changming would secretly pretend to be a family member, because after his mother passed away, Wang Changming ate dinner alone. Deep down in his heart, he knew that he had a mission, but he could not suppress the temptation to of wanting be a part of this family.

During the few days when Wang Changming was in Mu's house, he noticed that the masters and the servants would sit together for dinner every night. The three tables away from the door are for the masters of the house, and the two tables by the door are for twenty servants and two guests. Wang Changming observed that the dishes on the table are all the same. No masters has better food than the servants. Once all the plates are on the table, everyone is equal, and no masters disturbs the servants while eating.

For this reason, Wang Changming likes to sit with them and listen to their conversations. Listening to their conversations, he knew that those servants who were sold to Mu's family would change their surnames and be treated as members of the family.

Mu Feng, "Jiao Long, since you are injured, then you and Ah Kum will take the remaining people to help your Tao ge administer medicine."

Mu Jiao Long, "Me? Feng bo fu, why me?"

Mu Feng, "You can't just lie down and do nothing. You have to behave more like the head of the family."

Mu Jiao Long said "Ah Kum, can go by herself..."

Mu Ah Kum, "Long tang ge..." She shook her head at Mu Jiao Long, not wanting Mu Jiao Long to argue with Fu Feng anymore. "Father is right, you should go."

Mu Jiao, "Jiao Long, Ah Kum is a lady and is about to get married. As her eldest cousin, you just let her go alone so heartlessly?"

Mu Jiao Long looked unwilling to not want to see Mu Tao, "Jiao bo mu...I don't want to go. "

Mu Jiao said, "Aiyo, Ah Tao is not a tiger." She smiled. "Look at your Ah Kum, do you want to let her go alone with the male workers?"

Mu Jiao Long said, "Alright, I'll go." He poked at his rice with his chopsticks and happened to see Wang Changming sitting and smiling, listening to the servant's conversation happily. "But...I will do it under one condition?"

Mu Feng, "Are you mad? I am helping you straighten your face in front of everyone, but you still have conditions." He raised his voice. "Lao He, when Jiao Long sneaks out of the house to fight with the local martial artists...Write everything down."

Mu Jiao Long asked, "Feng bo fu, why writes everything down?"

Mu Feng smirked and said, "So when your father and Ah Lan return...I will report your misconduct to him. "

Mu Jiao Long smiled and grabbed Mu Feng's right hand, "Feng bo fu, there is no need for that...I will volunteer to go by myself, and I don't need Ah Kum to go with me..."

Mu Feng picked up the chopsticks and smiled, "Well that settle it then." He looked around the table. "Eat."

Mu Yu said, "Jiao Long, after dinner, take lao He and two men to go buy some supplies for the workers."

Mu Jiao Long frowned unhappily, "I understand..."

Mu Bai coughed and said, "Jiao Long, when you meet Ah Tao, you must control your temper. Don't act recklessly, understand?"

Mu Jiao Long frowned, "Understood...Bai da ye..."

Mu Bai said, "Control your temperament, you can succeed in everything, and martial arts is no exception."

Mu Yu, "Da ge...why do you support his martial arts?"

Mu Bai said, "Ah Feng, we all know Jiao Long has never been interested in medicine these years... If he likes martial arts, let him learn it, and it's not that no one is unwilling to learn medicine and continued our family tradition. We have Ah Lan to take over..." He coughed.

Mu Jiao, "Lao gong, what da ge said is right. Although Jiao Long doesn't like learning medicine, Ah Lan is an expert." She smiled and coaxed her husband. "Think about it, Ah Lan is a master of medical skills, Jiao Long is a great martial artist, who dares to hurt our home?" She looked around the table. "Am I right?"

The remaining elders nodded in agreement.

Mu Bai said, "Drop it. No argument at the dinner table."

After Dinner, Mu Jiao Long walked to Wang Changming and asked, "Are you going out with me?

Wang Changming was confused, "Huh?"

Mu Jiao Long said, "I will leave soon to go help my tang ge dry medicine."

Wang Changming asked, "Where is this place?"

Mu Jiao Long said, "We will leave early tomorrow morning. The place is on the mountain. Lao He and I will gather some supplies for the workers."

Wang Changming said, "Can outsiders enter this mill?"

Mu Jiao Long said, "We hire many worker there. You can go as a worker."

Wang Changmig asked, "If Mu gongzi is willing to hire me...I will be a worker."

Mu Jiao Long asked "What? Why?"

Wang Changming said, "I want to go because I am short of money."

Mu Jiao Long said, "How much do you want? I'll give it to you. It's not easy to work in a drying factory."

Wang Changming, "I know. To be honest, I want to see how your home exposes your medicine. I want to learn."

Mu Jiao Long said, "Fine..." He looked up and down Wang Changming.

Wang Changming asked, "What?"

Mu Jiao Long smiled and said, "Wang gongzi, with your delicate face, I don't believe you can last two days. Don't cry and complain if your clothes are dirty."

Wang Changming said, "I am not afraid of hardship."

Mu Jiao Long said, "We will see..." He smiled. "Xiao mao...."

Wang Changming, "You..." Then he whispered. "Xiao gou."

Mu Jiaolong laughed and walked out the door. He shouted, "Lao He, let's go to the market."

Mu Yu murmured, "What's wrong with him? He was a little dissatisfied just now."

Mu Jiao smiled, "Jiao Long is like this. A free soul should never be bound by family rules."

Mu Yu, "Well, it's a pity, his surname is Mu, the head of the family, so he must follow the family rules."
