Chapter 1236: He is Growing Up

"Fools," they often say, "rarely hold grudges, but once they do, they remember them for a lifetime."

Yusuf Zuck's definition of Hugh Zuck was that of a simpleton. Therefore, simpletons usually do not hate others deeply. And so, even when the cunning merchant sold him off, he didn't bear a deep hatred upon figuring it out; instead, he was happy, thinking that the merchant had helped him.

The house he had been sold to belonged to the powerful Gould Family, where Lord Gould had a very promising son who, it was said, held a position akin to a protector in a great sect. Thus, the Gould name carried weight, at least in their corner of the world, where they were known as a significant household.

Upon arriving at the grand household, Hugh Zuck was put to work in strenuous labor daily, but he was never short of food or clothes, and thus he believed the merchant had indeed helped him.
