Chapter 1234 On their way to the restaurant
The screams of Zi Bao were too loud and more than half of the village rushed inside the Zi family house.
Old Master Zi did not stop them as he wanted to show everyone how ruthless Yu Dong was and how much pain she was causing his family. However, what he did not expect was that he would find his obedient and well-behaved grandson in his room. What was more he was even holding the box of money that he and his wife hid inside the room.
Even if the villagers were simple-minded they knew what went down inside the house. The mammies most likely caught Zi Bao while he was stealing the money box but instead of stopping him, they let him do what he wanted and then broke his legs and hands such that he would not be able to deny the crime that he had committed.
"Tsk, Tsk. So this is the well-behaved grandson of the Zi family, one who was born as a lucky star. Haha if he continues to steal like this then he will surely become rich and 'popular'."
"Sure enough if the upper beam is crooked then the lower beam will be crooked as well. His father was getting beaten up outside yet instead of coming out and saving his father, he was stealing money."
"Haha. I am dying of laughter, Old Master Zi always says that his Bao Bao is really intelligent and filial. Now I can witness him acting filial with my own eyes. What a sight! My children could never do that."
"I need to ask my son to stay away from Zi Bao. Last time he told me that Zi Bao stole eggs from Master Mei's house. I thought he saw wrongly, after all, Zi Bao is such a pampered child, so why would he steal? But looks like my son did not see wrongly. This child is really.. alas!"
Old Master Zi felt his face turning red with shame, he knew better than anyone what his grandson had done, in fact, he could not believe that his grandson whom he thought was someone obedient and kind would do something so ruthless.
He actually wanted to steal the entire savings of their family and that too when they had to purchase water to drink. If he took the money away, how would they survive?
Even Zi Bao knew that he was in trouble. In fact, he knew that he was going to be in trouble the second the mammies broke his hands. Though he knew that he was caught, Zi Bao still did not want to ruin his image in front of his grandfather. He hurriedly said, "Grandfather, it was those mammies who were snatching the money box from me. I was just trying to snatch it from the mammies."
"That's right, the mammies who work under the richest woman of the Big River village would steal from you and your family," Master Ma said sarcastically.
Old Master Zi's face which had gotten slightly better immediately turned black. Though he knew that his grandson was lying, he did not want to make a joke out of his family. He turned to look at Master Ma and then said, "This is the matter of my family. I don't think this has anything to do with you, Master Ma."
"This is indeed the matter of your family but you should reign in that grandson of yours. If he continues to lie like this, he will cause your legs to be broken as well," Master Ma snickered causing Old Master Zi's face to turn purple.
He wanted to say something to Master Ma but the latter did not give him a chance. Master Ma turned on his heels and said to the rest of the villagers, "Everyone go back. If we stay who knows we might end up losing something as well."
As he walked out of the house, he gave Old Master Zi a knowing look.

Old Master Zi's expression twisted, he turned to look at his grandson and glared at him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What were you doing? Were you trying to steal the money?" Though Old Master Zi doted on his grandson, he cared for money more than anything. The reason he treated his eldest son and his family so well was because he knew that his eldest son and grandson would bring back the money that he would use on him.
Now that he saw Zi Bao steal the money from his family, he was obviously very unhappy.
Zi Bao was not going to admit that he was the one who did something wrong. He immediately shook his head and then said, "I didn't steal. I was worried that the woman surnamed Yu would try to snatch our savings since we failed to pay her and wanted to hide the money…anyway Grandpa please call the physician. I am in so much pain! I think I am going to die."
At this moment, Zi Bao really hated his uncle and his uncle-in-law. Those two were the ones who burned the farm and caused the contract to be broken and yet he was the one who had to pay for their mistake and that too with his body!
Old Master Zi was really upset with Zi Bao but when he thought about how Zi Bao was the one who would be responsible for him and his wife in the future, he could only ask his second grandchild to bring a physician.
If he had known that Yu Dong would be this ruthless, he would have given her the money at least that way his two sons' and grandson's limbs would have been fine.
On the other hand, Yu Dong and the rest of the family returned to the Big River Village. However they were not done, Yu Dong only dealt with the Zi family, she needed to deal with the restaurant owner and her sister-in-law,
They were the culprits behind Zi Zan's condition, after all. So how could she let them off?
