Chapter 8: A True Man Stands Tall

Qinglou, lost in revelry. Out of thirty days a month, twenty-seven or eight are spent not at home.Knowing this official's importance, Wang Po guessed that he must be anxious like a cat being scratched..."This Wu Dalang's steamed buns are mainly sold to the two wine shops in Dongcheng and Beicheng. Big officials just need to say hello to the two shopkeepers, and his buns will sell out. When he runs out of rice at home, naturally, he will kneel on the ground and beg me!"

Wang Po's face was flushed with triumph, as if she had already won.

Then, I guarantee that the high-ranking officials and madam will live together happily ever after!

Xi Men Hu's smile was lascivious and filthy: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."

Wuchang's home.

After Wang Po left, Gao Jinlian nervously watched Wu Chao.

"My lady, what's wrong"

Gao Jinlian whispered, "Big Lang, are you annoyed that I took on the work of your adoptive mother"

"Wife, you are my treasure. I'd be afraid to drop you if I held you in my hand and afraid to melt you if I held you in my mouth. How could I possibly anger you when I can barely get enough of taking care of you"

Wǔ Chāo held Gāo Jīnlián's hand, his face earnest as he said, "My wife, rest assured, from now on, I will definitely give you a life of wealth and honor. I will make you the happiest person in the world."

Gao Jinlian had never heard such shameless and bold love words as those from Wu Chao. Her delicate face flushed instantly, her eyes sparkled mischievously, and her cherry lips curled upwards. Her cheeks were covered with a blush like the rosy clouds of dawn, truly breathtakingly beautiful.

After working hard for a whole afternoon, the couple made several baskets of cookies.

Gao Jinlian's worry immediately came up: "How can we sell so many mooncakes"

At that moment, a man's voice came from the yard.

Gao Jinlian glanced at the courtyard and couldn't help but hide behind Wu Chao. She saw that those scoundrels who had been beaten by Wu Chao this morning were back!

Wu Chao smiled and comforted Gao Jinlian with a few freshly baked cakes, walking them out to the courtyard.

These ruffians, upon seeing Wu Chao, immediately nodded and bowed.

They were scared by Wu Chao this morning. When Wu Chao made his move, he was ruthless!

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

This gang of thugs and scoundrels, who have been beaten up by others on a regular basis, are treated like animals in front of those wealthy young masters. They can be beaten and insulted at will!

No one has ever treated people like Wu Chao, even paying their medical bills. This made them incredibly grateful because Wu Chao's actions showed that he saw them as human beings!

Wu Chao smiled slightly and divided the scallion pancake among everyone.

"Wow, that smells so good!"

"Brother! This cake smells so good!"

"Wu Chao asked several people, "Do you guys want to get rich"

A few scoundrels, while eating their cakes, nodded eagerly.

The leader, Bai Sheng, nodded repeatedly: "Big brother! Who among my brothers doesn't want to get rich"

"You can take these cakes and sell them. Each cake should be priced at 50 mon. For every cake you sell, I will give you 5 mon."

Bai Sheng looked at Wu Chao with disbelief, along with several others.

"Big brother, really"

"Aren't you afraid we'll run off with all these cakes"

Wu Chao looked at Bai Sheng and patted his shoulder: "Although you guys seem a little out of sorts, I know you're all passionate people. Any man wouldn't want to be looked down upon, would he Who wants to be idle every day and be treated like garbage under someone's feet"

"Today you guys call me 'Big Brother,' that makes you my brothers! I, Wu Chao, may not have any special skills, but I will never doubt my brothers!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several hooligans, like they had been injected with chicken blood, straightened their backs and lifted their heads high. Their eyes burned with a raging fire!

Bai Sheng, these hooligans, are not even taken seriously by their own family, let alone outsiders.

Inspired by Wu Chao's words, one after another, they patted their chests, making a "boom boom" sound.

"Big brother, don't worry! My brothers will definitely sell all these cakes!"

Very soon, Wu Chao distributed all the finished pastries. These scoundrels, each carrying their burdens, swaggered out with a fierce and determined look. It was as if they were not selling pastries, but going to accomplish some earth-shattering feat.

Gao Jinlian walked over and whispered to Wu Chao, "Big brother, do you think they'll really steal the cakes"

Wuchou habitually passed his hand over Gao Jinlian, her delicate and tender skin. He stroked it while saying, "My wife, just watch, your husband won't get it wrong."

This kind of confident smile, Gao Jinlian is getting happier the more she looks at it.

She found that her husband was becoming more and more handsome, but he was also getting increasingly lustful and bold.

But somehow, her heart wasn't repulsed, instead there was a...well, a little bit of...a small thrill.

And Bai Sheng's group's work efficiency exceeded Wu Chao's expectations.

Before an hour had passed, one by one they came back carrying empty baskets.

When they dumped the oil-soaked copper plates onto Wu Chao's table with a clatter, Gao Jinlian was so surprised that she covered her sexy mouth with her hand. She had never seen so much money!

"Big brother, if you ever need help from your brothers, just call and we'll be there!"

After finishing his speech, Bai Sheng led a group of people away with glee. However, Wu Chao, who had been prepared for this, directly threw a bag of money at Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng clutched the weighty 1000 coins in his hand, his lips trembling! He hadn't originally intended to take any money for this job, just considered it a favor for his elder brother. But Wu Chao had actually followed through on his word!

"Big brother, this…this money is too much!"

From childhood to adulthood, Bai Sheng and his group had never seen a single piece of silver before. In their pockets at most there were three or five copper coins!

A real man stands tall and keeps his word.

"I'll give you whatever amount you need, and since you call me big brother, you're family. From now on, if there's any difficulty at home, just come to me!"

Wu Chao's voice echoed in every person's ears within the room.

Bai Sheng's eyes welled up with tears of excitement: "Big brother! From now on, all of us brothers will listen to you!"

Wu Chao smiled faintly and gave Bai Sheng a few hundred more wen. He whispered a few words in his ear.

Bai Sheng nodded repeatedly and, with several people in tow, hurriedly left.

Wu Chao turned around and saw Gao Jinlian staring in shock at the mountain of copper coins on the table.

The steamed buns that Wu Chao usually sells for ten wen each. Just now, when Wu Chao set the price of these buns at fifty wen each, Gao Jinhua was still worried that none would be sold. Unexpectedly, they were all sold out so quickly!

But Wu Chao seemed to not have seen those copper coins on the table at all, and turned around to go to his backyard by himself.

Gao Jinlian saw it and hurriedly said, “Sir, won't you put this money away”

Wu Chao stopped his steps and turned to look at Gao Jinlian with a smile: "My wife, shouldn't you be in charge of the money"

"By me" Gao Jinlian was stunned.wo brothers lost their parents at a young age, and Wushuo raised Wuchang from infancy. To him, Wuchang was both father and brother.Wu Chao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, though he knew that after Wu S...
